Chapter 315 Negotiations
Time will be back more than an hour of money, and the horse will be exhausted.
Ambassador Rama and others outside the residence of the Minister of the Interior were like ants on a hot pan. He was ordered late at night to visit Maldives' Interior Minister Hassan Muyi, and asked Minister Muyi to send a rescue team to rescue his citizens who had been lost on the deserted island due to trek.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the guards of Muyi's official residence finally opened the goalkeeper Ambassador Rama and invited him in.
"Ambassador Rama, do you know what time it is?" Minister Muyi said angrily, with a dark face. Anyone who was shouted out from his dream after 1 o'clock in the middle of the night would not feel good. If Ambassador Rama had not been a powerful neighbor in the north, Minister Muyi would not have dumped him at all.
But even so, Minister Muyi showed his very unhappy emotions without any concealment.
Although the Maldives is a small country, as the dignified Minister of the Interior, it is not a role that can be ordered at will in this land of the Maldives.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Muy, it's really urgent." Rama knew that it was very rude to call people like this, but the domestic instructions were very urgent. The two elites of the navy fell on the island of Duke, although Ambassador Rama didn't know why they appeared on someone else's private island.
But Ambassador Rama knew that if these two men were caught by other bodyguards or guards, they would be destroyed.
Not many rich people are kind-hearted. People who sneak onto the island secretly do not ask how they are bad-hearted. They either come to kidnap or do other illegal activities. It would be strange if they don’t throw them into the sea and feed sharks after being caught. Although the Maldives is a small country, the sea area is nearly 100,000 square kilometers. With their inner guards of more than a thousand people, it is impossible to cover such a large sea area.
Except for those important islands that are permanently stationed in the inner guards, other islands are not guarded most of the time. So it is too easy to throw a few people into the sea on a deserted island.
"There are two citizens of our country who have been trekking. They have now entered Rahsf Island and have a misunderstanding with the owner of the island. Now their lives are in danger. Please send someone to rescue as soon as possible." Ambassador Rama briefly explained the matter with evasion.
"Trek? Mr. Rahsf Island is the private island of the billionaire Dr. Duke. They have good navigation and maritime traffic capabilities. If it is Trek, I believe they will send your citizens to the right place." Minister Muyi couldn't help but smile and said without a smile. As for whether this suitable place is Male or the shark's mouth, to be honest, Muyi didn't care at all.
This northern neighbor has always been a little unscrupulous and has entered the country's waters for no reason twice. This time, I don't know why I entered the country's waters again, and I also went deep into the country's waters for more than 200 kilometers to Rahsf Island.
Originally, this was an unknown desert island, but later it was bought by a rich man and built villas and other facilities. For some reason, it was resold to the world's new super rich man, Mr. Duke. So as Duke became more and more famous, the island has become very well-known within the Maldives government. As the Minister of the Interior, Muyi of course knew the situation of the island.
Duke signed an investment agreement with the Maldives government, planning to build a machining plant on Rahsf Island, with a promise of at least an output value of over 100 million US dollars each year. This is a big deal for the Maldives, whose annual GDP is only a few hundred million US dollars.
Rahsf Island is far away from the famous tourist island belt in Maldives. Due to its long distance from Male, it is inconvenient and expensive to open up a tourist island. In addition, it is small in area and cannot accommodate residents. It has been abandoned forever. It has finally attracted a wealthy man like Duke to invest in and develop the industry. The Maldives government naturally supports it very much.
What's more, Dr. Duke promised to establish a complete processing waste liquid collection system for the factory, and all processed waste liquids were collected and transported out of the Maldives for processing, while the power supply was all pollution-free new energy such as wind and solar energy, and promised that the Maldives authorities would conduct an assessment of the surrounding environment every three months. This condition completely reassures the Maldives authorities.
Tourism is now their pillar industry, and in terms of environmental protection, few countries in the world attach more importance to the Maldives authorities.
Now the people from this northern neighbor actually ran to their territory and deserved it to be caught and thrown into the sea. Although Muyi thought so, he continued to say, "If we haven't sent anyone here at dawn, we will send people to the island to check it out and see what's going on. They are just fishermen who trek on the sea. I believe that the people on Rahsf Island will be very entertained."
After saying that, Muyi stood up and said that she was very interested in seeing off guests.
At dawn? Ambassador Rama's head suddenly grew bigger. At that time, I'm afraid there was no slag left. Who can prove that they had been there? Although Ambassador Rama doesn't know why the two elites of the Navy went to that private island, according to the information he received, it was just a private resort island for Chinese rich people, and it is now said that a machining factory is being built.
It’s just that since the workers all came from China, Rama really couldn’t find out what kind of factory they were building.
But these are not the key points. The key points are that the domestic instructs that the two people who came to the island must be rescued.
"Mr. Muyi," said Ambassador Rama hurriedly. If he could wait until dawn, he would not want to disturb Muyi in the middle of the night. "That's right, my citizens sent a message saying that the people on the island are very unfriendly to them, and I'm afraid that life will be worrying about life over time. Life is at stake. Please ask Mr. Muyi to send someone to rescue him immediately."
In that place where there is no cell phone signal, the message can be sent out and the ambassador was sent out to send a rescue in the middle of the night. There is nothing wrong with it. You really think that I, Muyi, is an idiot. Seeing Ambassador Rama anxious, Muyi felt more and more strange about the middle. Could it be that this northern neighbor had any evil intentions towards Dr. Duke?
When Muyi thought of this possibility, his head was shocked, and the remaining casual suddenly ran out of the sky. Dr. Duke made so many inventions, for the neighbor in the north, everything was something they didn't have. If they were really kidnapped by them, this value would be really great. But if Dr. Duke was kidnapped in the Maldives and was caught between two major powers at that time, that would be no joke.
Thinking of this, Muyi's face couldn't help but become gloomy. "Amistantor Rama, Rahsf Island is not close to your country, nor is it the closest island to your country. I don't know who these two citizens of your country are, and why are they wandering to Rahsf Island for?"
In the Maldives, the relationship between the northern neighbors and the two giants of China is now divided into two factions. Some people, mainly vice presidents, tend to turn to the northern neighbors in a geopolitical way. This is considered from a geographical perspective, but another faction led by the president and the Minister of the Interior tends to be neutral, especially the Minister of Interior Mui, who is very repulsive of one-sided strategy.
The reason is very simple. China is the most popular among the tourists now. Almost one-quarter of the tourists come from China, and more and more every year. For the Maldives, except for natural scenery, there is little choice but to vigorously develop the tourism industry. In this general direction that concerns the development of the country, Muyi tends to be pragmatic.
More importantly, northern neighbors are now interfering more and more domestically, and in the past few years, they even sent troops to interfere in the replacement of the regime.
As an island country in the Indian Ocean, the strategic location of the Maldives has become increasingly important with the East-West shipping and the Indian Ocean strategy of the northern neighbors. The northern neighbors have been eyeing the hundreds of uninhabited islands in the Maldives, hoping to develop some supply bases for the navy and serve as logistics strongholds to expand the range of activities of the navy in the Indian Ocean, which makes Muyi, an elite with a strong sense of autonomy, very uneasy.
Looking at Muyi's face of suspicion and dissatisfaction, Rama cursed in her heart. These guys in China don't know what they are doing. If they were to be honest, the navy's people have arrived at Rahsf Island now, and they don't know how the other party will react.
Rama, who has been an ambassador in Maldives for several years, is of course very familiar with the political situation in Maldives. He knows that Mui is not interested in his country and has always been very sensitive to possible military intervention in the country. If he has a choice, Rama will not look for Mui at this time.
However, if you want to send a patrol team to rescue, you can only find Muyi, the Minister of Interior. However, judging from the current situation, if you don’t make the matter worse, it will obviously be difficult to convince Muyi to send a maritime patrol team immediately.
"Well, Mr. Muyi, in fact, these two Chinese citizens are secret police officers who are pursuing arms and smugglers. They were accidentally taken into your territory by arms and smugglers and fell into Rahsf Island. The situation is very urgent now. Please consider the special relationship between our two countries and send a maritime patrol team as soon as possible to rescue our citizens."
Although it is very inappropriate for the police to enter the other country without a lawsuit, the impact is much smaller than that of military personnel. Rama can come up with this excuse in an instant, and she can be regarded as a person with agility.
Of course Muyi doesn't believe such excuses, but there is one thing that Rama said is right. Even if Muyi is very unhappy, the relationship between the two countries is indeed special. If Rama says this, Muyi will not move.
