Chapter 310 Invisible Smoke
Seychelles.
Victoria Harbour.
Inside the local port administration building.
Things have never been smooth sailing for Garcia Michel since .
First, the economy suffered a severe blow. The entire Seychelles is mainly based on tourism. In the past two years, the tourism industry of this small island country has suffered a Waterloo.
This caused the foreign debt, which was only 24% of GDP, to once again exceed 100% of GDP. The huge foreign debt and sluggish international tourism gave Garcia Michel a headache.
However, some time ago, a more troublesome thing happened.
That is, the Diego Garcia Island that was previously occupied by America was actually controlled by the Southeast Asian Homo sapiens company.
Although Garcia Michel was furious, he dared not say anything. After all, he couldn't afford to offend America, and the Homo sapiens company that could drive America away must be even more difficult to deal with.
Unfortunately, the Seychelles Islands are located in the central waters of the Ceylon Ocean, and their strategic location is very important. No matter who wants to dominate the Ceylon Ocean, controlling the Seychelles Islands is a very critical node.
America, unwilling to lose Ceylon, has recently brought in India, Australia and France to prepare for a Ceylon Security Treaty with the aim of containing the Homo Sapiens Company.
Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, Comoros and Mada Island are among the invited countries.
At this time, Roland, the French Consul in Seychelles, was in the room. The bearded man threatened and lured him:
"Michelle, you should be aware of the greed and brutality of the Sapiens Company. Once they attack Seychelles, you will not be able to resist them at all."
"And the Homo Sapiens company might confiscate all your property. Then you and your family will have to become ordinary workers, doing menial and hard work."
"If you cooperate with us, the security of Seychelles will be taken care of by the French and American armies, your wealth will be guaranteed, and we will provide a special aid of $300 million."
However, Garcia Michel knew that no matter how much money one had, one had to have life to spend it.
He replied politely but firmly: "Consul Roland, I still mean the same thing. Seychelles does not want to get involved in your affairs. Please go back!"
"Mr. Michel, are you planning to reject our kindness?" Roland asked with a stern look on his face.
"Yes, I refuse." Garcia Michel replied with a determined look.
Roland, who was so angry that he actually laughed, said with a fake smile: "Very good! I hope you won't regret it. Goodbye."
"No."
Watching the frustrated Roland leave.
Garcia Michel seemed to be exhausted and slumped on the sofa.
Suddenly a cup of hot coffee appeared on the table. He looked up at the woman in front of him, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Please, this is Mr. Michel's favorite Java white coffee." Domino sat opposite with a smile, tasting the coffee in his hand elegantly.
“Are you Homo sapiens?” Garcia Michel swallowed.
Domino put down the cup and said, "That's right. It seems that Mr. Garcia is really a smart man. I have been listening to your conversation with Mr. Roland just now."
"..." Garcia Michel gritted his teeth and said, "Since you already know it, please respect Seychelles' choice."
Domino stood up and pulled back the curtains. "In this world where the strong prey on the weak, please don't say such naive words. It will bring misfortune."
"you……"
boom!
What? Garcia Michel's pupils shrank sharply, and he rolled and crawled to the window.
On a road not far away, a Renault car was sandwiched by a large truck. The truck's fuel tank exploded, igniting both cars.
Thick smoke rose from the raging fire.
What is this? ! Damn it! Garcia Michel stared at the Renault with wide eyes. He had already recognized who was in the car.
He turned around in shock and anger and shouted, "You are crazy!"
"What do you think now, Mr. Michel? Do you want to visit the headquarters of Sapiens? The security there is very high. This kind of small accident can be completely avoided inside Sapiens."
"You...you..." Garcia Michel was so angry that he became incoherent.
Obviously he had heard the thoughts of Sapiens Company, so he was invited to go to the headquarters of Sapiens Company and continue to be the boss of Seychelles.
"I forgot to tell Mr. Michel that in order to combat pirates in the Ceylon Ocean and maintain the safety of trade routes, our company has dispatched a fleet that will arrive at Victoria Harbor tomorrow afternoon."
Hearing this, Garcia Michel fell to the floor.
Obviously, this time, the Sapiens Company was determined to take over the Seychelles Islands and even sent a fleet.
Faced with this situation, what could Garcia Michel do? The total population of Seychelles was less than 100,000, and it didn't even have a regular army. Faced with the fully armed fleet of the Homo Sapiens Company, it didn't even have the ability to resist.
He thought about it and forced himself to calm down. With the way the Homo Sapiens company treated its own people, the locals didn't need to worry about the economy.
But he was mainly worried that some people could not recognize the reality. The previous incident in Java had been reported extensively internationally, and Garcia naturally knew the methods of the Sapiens Company.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to cooperate with you, but please allow me to stay. I can help you stabilize this place."
"Are you sure?" Domino looked at him with a smile.
Garcia Michel nodded firmly: "As long as you can treat us equally, I am willing to help you."
Domino also assured: "If it is just equal treatment, then you don't need to worry at all. All employees in Sapiens are equal. We only have one identity: Sapiens employees."
With the cooperation of Garcia Michel and the arrival of the Ceylon Ocean Squadron, the Homo Sapiens Company quickly took control of the Seychelles Islands.
at the same time.
Maldives and Comoros are also controlled by the pawns of the Sapiens company.
When the transport planes of the Homo Sapiens Company quickly delivered several regiments to the Maldives Islands and the Comoros Islands, and quickly built air force airports.
French Reunion.
Port Louis.
"Damn it! The Homo sapiens field department reacted so quickly." The French Governor-General Serin stationed in Reunion was shocked and angry.
Charles Russell, head of France's African intelligence department, was even more livid: "All our intelligence personnel in Seychelles and Comoros have lost contact."
Serin walked back and forth in front of his desk several times. "No! We can't let them continue to expand into Africa, otherwise France's interests in Africa will be greatly threatened."
"But it is difficult for us to defeat Homo sapiens in special warfare. If we engage in a hot war, it won't work either..." Charlie Russell reminded.
Serin naturally knew France's strengths and weaknesses. Even America couldn't beat Homo sapiens. If France went head-to-head with Homo sapiens, it would be courting death.
He racked his brains for a while, then looked at the map of Africa and the Ceylon Ocean, and finally stopped his gaze on a huge island:
"Now we can only fully support Mada Island and let them serve as our African shield to block the expansion of the Sapiens Company."
"But Mada Island is in a very chaotic situation right now, and Andrew doesn't want us to interfere."
Serin's eyes turned cold. "It's not up to him. Director Russell, deal with him if necessary and let Federer, whom we have trained, take over."
After weighing the pros and cons, Charlie Russell found that this was the best option at the moment, and he believed that the Elysee Palace would also understand their difficulties.
