During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 148: Tuvalu Coup: Mutants Founding the Country (1)
Katie has been very, very busy lately, so busy that she has no time to take a good rest and sit down and have a quiet meal. Especially after meeting with Brazil's richest man Roberto.
On the surface, Roberto is the top rich man in Brazil and the most important big man among the global raw material suppliers. In addition to these apparent identities, the most important one is that he is also a mutant . It is also a Alpha Grade mutant with a relatively high degree of evolution among the mutants.
Have a strong flame (more accurately called atomic fission) ability, nickname Sunspot. When Katie sought his help, the proud young man refused. Because compared to the ordinary bottom variants. With the status of the world's richest man, he will not be subject to any so-called discrimination against mutants.
But in the end he was persuaded by Katie's words and promised Katie to help her seemingly incredible plan-build a country!
Yes, the richest man Roberto put forward a bold and more operative plan, that is to buy a country!
Sounds ridiculous, right? How could the country not be a commodity to be bought and sold at will? And which sovereign country will give up its territory? Are n’t you afraid of being scrubbed by future generations?
In fact, the real world is sometimes more ridiculous than the movie. It is even more magical. Things like buying and selling countries are operable in real reality.
Especially in today's society, due to the large-scale activities of human beings, various greenhouse gas emissions are caused, causing the glaciers of the north and south poles to melt and the sea level to rise.
This makes many coastal countries, especially island countries, face an embarrassment, that is, the sea is encroaching on their land. For the big six countries, or the large island countries like Toyo, for these two countries, a few centimeters of sea level rise is not a big deal.
But for some, every centimeter of sea level rise is enough to be frightening. For example, Maldives is a famous tourist destination in the world.
This picturesque island country is facing such troubles. According to the most optimistic estimate, Maldives will be completely submerged in oo year, and before this 2o7o, this country will become unsuitable Humans are inhabited.
This is the time of destruction that can start the national countdown. Most Maldives citizens can see that their country is submerged by seawater and disappears completely.
The president and government of Maldives have already started overseas land purchase programs very early. They bought a piece of land from a country willing to sell it, preparing to transfer all the people before the sea completely submerged the country.
It must be said that Maldives is still lucky. Although they may be submerged by seawater, at least they still have time, and the most important thing is that they have money!
As the most famous tourist destination in the world, Maldives relies on the tourism industry to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth. This is the main reason for ensuring that they have the financial resources to buy land overseas and can also obtain financial loans from international banks.
Although they are also island nations, not all island nations have the same natural conditions as Maldives.
Tuvalu, for example, is a little-known island nation. The country's area is only 26 square kilometers. The population of the whole country is about 11,000. The total annual output value of the country is less than 17 million dollars, and the per capita output value is less than two thousand dollars.
This fourth-smallest country in the world is also the least accessible country in the world. The Tuvalu's tragedy will be directly ignored by people who speak with the country to the UN General Assembly.
The country ’s president has numerous calls for reducing greenhouse emissions and slowing sea level rise. But because the country came out, it was like being farted.
The country ’s president is so anxious that he even expressed irritating comments at the United Nations General Assembly to criticize the United States for no reason. Because the highest place in this country is only 4.7 meters from sea level. Most land areas are only a few centimeters or more than a dozen centimeters away from sea level.
According to the degree of sea level rise today, the most optimistic estimate is that in 2o5o the country will have 60 percent land area engulfed by seawater.
In fact, the degree of sea level rise this year is showing an increasing state. If calculated according to the current increment, in fact up to half of the country's land by 2o3o will be submerged by the sea in the Pacific Ocean.
And the countdown from the demise is only 13 years. Sadly, as the least-reaching country in the world, Tuvalu has no funds at all to build a dam to resist the sea water, or to improve the terrain of its own land.
It is even more impossible to buy land overseas. International banks have repeatedly refused the country's loan request, and later it is simply as if there is no such country in the world.
Moreover, many countries have made it clear that they refuse to enter Tuvalu nationals as refugees. The global media has turned a blind eye to this small country, pretending that the world is not like this country at all.
Even if this country does have a seat in the United Nations, it is a globally recognized sovereign state.
No country is willing to lend a helping hand to Tuvalu. After all, it is a matter of not seeing any benefits at all. And accepting a group of refugees, how to settle is also a big problem.
No one is going to be the Virgin for no reason. This is not a Libyan refugee incident. There is also fame and political capital in that incident. Tuvalu's is the one who manages to ruin something.
So the whole world watched this country start to move towards the abyss of death with an unusually indifferent attitude.
2o17-2o3o, in only 13 years, half of the land will be lost, and the remaining land area will not be suitable for human habitation. All Tuvalu's residents live in fear and depression.
A few citizens who have money or have overseas relations have tried every means to escape this country. Now all that remains in this country are poor people who have nowhere to go.
This little island country only one communicates with the outside world during World War II ~ IndoMTL.com ~ An airport built by the US military here. Every month, a 30-year-old aircraft in service will transport residents here.
And today, Katie and her friends set foot on this island country for the first time. When the Roberto's luxury plane landed in this poor and backward country, a major event that will change the sad fate of this country and its citizens, and will completely rewrite the entire history of the mutants, is coming.
Katie walked in Tuvalu, a light-duty sneaker, in an airport that looked old and even looked like it should have been scrapped. She was followed by a group of companions called by her.
A group of young but passionate and **** mutants. They knew what they were doing when they waited for someone to come today. The only middle-aged man who seems to be older is a guardian of a young student named Shining. He is the leader of West Coast assassin alliance and thieves guild Remy, nicknamed Emperor.
This is a crazy world, this is a turbulent era. The emperor, as a strong veteran mutant, would never have thought that one day he would be dragged by such a group of young people to such a backward country in such a way.
Because this time the mutants will soon become nations! 8
