America's Road to Fame

Chapter 317 Expansion of Territory
On November 11, 10 days after the Atlanta volcano erupted, Erica, the chief member of the Atlanta Island Management Committee, led a delegation to visit the neighboring country Papua New Guinea.

During this two-day visit, Atlanta Fund signed a series of contracts with the PNG government totaling US$5 million. Among these contracts, Atlanta Fund will build a subsea pipeline project from the Malus Island leads to Atlan Island, mainly for the import of fresh water for Atlan Island.

In addition, Atlanta will lease an area near Malus Port to build a warehouse for the transshipment of certain materials from Malus Port to Atlanta Island.

Because Atlanta's airport has not yet started construction, it will take time until it is ready for use, so some materials that are urgently needed and cannot go by sea can only be transported by air to Malus Airport, and then transported to Atlanta by sea island.

At present, the straight-line distance from Malus Island to Atlanta is only 35 kilometers, which is the most suitable place for transshipment, and the follow-up South Pacific Industrial Investment Company will also invest in related projects in Atlanta in Malus Island.

In addition, there are related orders for food imports and soil imports in the agreement. Food imports are understandable. Originally, Papua New Guinea is a country mainly based on agriculture, but Atlanta is unable to carry out any agricultural production at all, so daily food needs to be imported. , then Papua New Guinea is the nearest food supply place.

As for the import of soil, of course it is because although the volcanic ash after the volcanic eruption has greatly promoted the normality of plants, it must be known that the land of Atlan Island has been covered by rocks cooled by magma before. On the surface of Atlan Island, there is no soil at all.

Of course, Atlanta can also wait for the volcanic rocks to slowly weather to form soil.Originally, most of the soil was formed by the weathering of volcanic rocks. After the weathering of volcanic rocks, the initial soil was formed. Then, when a large number of animal corpses rotted in the soil, fertile soil for plant growth was formed.

It's just that this process will take at least a hundred years, and they naturally can't wait so long, so the best way is to buy soil from outside, and then make a bedding, and mix it with the volcanic ash on Atlanta, which is more beneficial to plants It grows, and after a period of time, the underlying rock layer will gradually erode, increasing the thickness of the soil.

So this time, Atlanta chose to buy part of the soil from Papua New Guinea, cover some areas on Atlanta, and start planting plants to improve the environment on the island.

However, in this package agreement, the most striking thing is the agreement between the two parties on the Hermi Islands.

After sending people to contact with Papua New Guinea before, plus Erica's visit to Papua New Guinea, the acquisition was finally finalized.

Atlanta will purchase Papua New Guinea's Hemi Islands near Atlanta for US$3 million, sign the agreement on Erica, and stamp the Atlanta Management Committee with the Atlanta After receiving the official seal of the badge, this agreement will take effect immediately, and the ownership of the Hermi Islands will belong to the Atlanta Fund and become an affiliated island of Atlanta.

Not long ago, the island of Atlanta made a coat of arms to represent itself.The pattern of the badge is a fiery red phoenix flying in the center, with the Southern Cross on the top of the phoenix's head. In the phoenix's two paws, it holds an olive branch and a trident respectively.

The phoenix flying with its wings represents the experience of the rebirth of Atlanta, the Southern Cross represents the island in the southern hemisphere, the olive branch held in the phoenix's claws and the trident of Poseidon , which represents peace and force.

And now, the Southern Cross star in Atlanta's logo and coat of arms has added another layer of meaning, that is, Atlanta, which is composed of islands, is united.

As for why it cost 30 billion U.S. dollars to buy Palu, which covers an area of ​​15 square kilometers, and the debt is as high as 19 billion U.S. dollars; while the purchase of the Hermi Islands with a total area of ​​37 square kilometers only cost 3 billion U.S. dollars. billion dollars?

The main reason is that there is still a huge gap between the two. Although the area of ​​the Hermi Islands is larger, they are too scattered, and all of them are bare rocks, which are not suitable for human survival at all.

They are meaningless in the hands of Papua New Guinea. In addition, Papua New Guinea's economy is already backward. After being hit by the tsunami, it is really very difficult. Therefore, the orders provided by Atlanta to them make They can't say no.

Moreover, the natural conditions of Palu are far from those of the Hermi Islands, and the facilities on the island are also very complete. It is normal to be able to have that price.

For example, the place where William Chen held his wedding at that time - Lanai Island in Hawaii not only has an excellent natural environment, but also has an area of ​​365.2 square kilometers, which is more than ten times that of the Hermi Islands.But if Lanai Island is sold now, it will only cost more than 2 million US dollars, mainly because the island can only be purchased as a private island, and the sovereignty of the island still belongs to the United States.

But Atlanta is different. Originally, the sovereignty belonged to Palu, but as all the Palu people moved to Australia, Atlanta, as William Chen's private territory, has actually become a land without owner and belongs to William Chen completely.

So after the agreement officially came into effect, Atlanta once again reported their latest island geographical changes to relevant international organizations, and then began bidding for several infrastructure projects related to the Hermi Islands.

This includes the two main projects of the "Yach Sea Bridge" and "Love International Airport".

The Yach Bridge is a bridge connecting Atlan Island and Hermi Islands. The main bridge is the bridge of Atlan Island and the largest island of Hermi Islands, Love Island.The three islands of the Hermi Islands, Love Island, Building Block Island and Lowa Island, are then interconnected by three shorter cross-sea bridges.

Love International Airport is an airport built on Love Island with a 4F-level runway that can take off and land large passenger aircraft such as the A380.

……

At this time, William Chen went to China.

He set off on the Eclipse with Erica, disembarked at Malus Port halfway, and then took the Gulfstream G550 waiting at Malus Airport to Huaguo.

Ivanta, who was waiting to give birth in the Long Island Manor in New York, couldn't sit still anymore. She took her private jet to Huaguo Magic City last month, and started to manage the business of TC Business Management Company.

William Chen went to Huaguo this time, in addition to visiting her—Ivanta was pregnant for more than six months—there was also something that needed to be dealt with.

Zhang Jiao and Aisha Gonzalez are still on the Gulfstream G550.Speaking of which, William Chen hasn't been with them for a long time. When he traveled around the world, although he often saw them on the William, but Ivanta was by his side at that time. She was in a special period, so William Chen Consciously did not stimulate her.

During this period of time, he was in Atlanta, and he lived on the Eclipse. Although Erica or Alicia was often with him, but at this time, he saw these two people wearing uniforms and showing a beautiful figure. The flight attendant, thinking that they haven't learned knowledge for so long, the enthusiastic Chen William naturally gave them a good make-up lesson...

+ + + + +
The Gulfstream G550 arrived at Modu Airport. During this time, he had been in Atlanta. William Chen felt as if he had been away from here for a long time.

After arriving at Yan's garden, Ivanta was at home. Fortunately, she was quite obedient.

William Chen told her before that it is okay to continue working, but she cannot leave the medical team and try to stay at home when there is no urgent matter. This is also because she is worried that she will forget that she is pregnant when she starts working.

"You're finally back, my dear. I've been worried that if there will be any repetitions over there."

Seeing William Chen, Ivanta's face immediately became happy, wanting to get up, William Chen quickly walked two steps to her:
"You sit down first, baby. There's nothing wrong with Atlanta. I've been living on the Eclipse. If there's something serious, I'll take the helicopter. By the way, how do you feel now?"

William Chen sat beside Ivanta, looking at her with a smile.

"I feel pretty good. Sometimes when I'm quiet, I can still feel him kicking my stomach."

Ivanta stroked her belly with maternal tenderness in her voice.

Hearing what she said, William Chen couldn't help but lower his head, put his ear on Ivanta's stomach, and listened quietly.

"Oh, he is quiet now, he hasn't kicked his stomach yet, and you can't hear him."

"Who said, I can hear his heartbeat."

I don't know if it's hallucinations, or because Chen Weilian's hearing is more sensitive, he seems to hear the weak heartbeat in Ivanta's stomach, with the feeling of blood connection.
