After the leaders of African countries returned, they immediately held a meeting to discuss, and everyone still agreed to sell the desert to the Williams Empire.

If there is no oil in the desert, it is really useless to the country, but a scourge!

Alaska has mountains, water, forests, and all kinds of animals, but the Soviet Union disliked the harsh environment of Alaska and didn't want it, so it sold it to the United States, and the United States didn't even want to buy it at that time. The desert is dozens of times worse than the environment in Alaska, and it is one of the most inhospitable places on earth for living things, with extremely scarce resources!

The desert is the real poor and white.

Wouldn't it be stupid if others were willing to buy deserts and didn't hurry to sell them?

After discussion, basically all the countries that joined the Wei Yuan system were willing to sell the desert. Before May 1, leaders from all over the world called Henry. Henry then ordered someone to count the area and location of the desert. Many of the deserts they sold to the Williams Empire were in the east and west, and they were not connected together. Of course, Henry hoped that the desert he bought would be in one piece, so that it would be easier to manage. As a result, people were sent to visit various countries to strive for more land. At the same time, Henry sent people to start a detailed survey of the terrain of various countries in order to determine the location of pipelines and railways.

There are three main deserts in Africa, the Sahara Desert is located in northern Africa, the Namib Desert and the Kalahari Desert are located in southern Africa, with an area of ​​9.06 million square kilometers, 50,000 square kilometers, and 630,000 square kilometers, respectively. After discussions, the Williams empire bought about 4.853 million square kilometers of the Sahara Desert from Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad and Sudan, and then bought part of the Mib Desert and the Kalahari Desert In total, they bought nearly 5 million square kilometers of desert!

The price of the desert is very cheap. To buy these lands, the Williams empire spent a total of 1 trillion US dollars, that is, 2 billion US dollars to buy an average of 10,000 square kilometers. From now on, these desert lands will belong to the territory of the Williams empire! In addition, the construction of pipelines, railways and other projects is expected to cost about 300 billion US dollars! However, the operation right of the railway belongs to the Williams empire, and the local country can enjoy 30% of the income if it produces the land!

On June 1, Henry signed a formal agreement with African countries at the Williams Palace, and then held a press conference to publicly announce the matter.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked! ! !

First of all, I was amazed that the Williams Empire actually purchased 5 million square kilometers of desert land, and the territorial area skyrocketed! ! !

Previously, the Williams empire successively annexed parts of Madagascar, Comoros, Socotra Island, Somalia, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, establishing a huge empire with an area of ​​more than 2.1 million square kilometers! Today, nearly 5 million square kilometers of desert land has become its territory, adding up to more than 7.1 million square kilometers.

Previously, the ranking list of countries in the world by land area was:

The first is Russia, 10,000 square kilometers.

The second is Canada, with 9.971 million square kilometers.

The third is China, with 9.601 million square kilometers.

The fourth is the United States, with 9.364 million square kilometers.

The fifth is Brazil, with 8.547 million square kilometers.

The sixth is Australia, with 7.741 million square kilometers.

The seventh is India, with 3.288 million square kilometers.

Now, the land area of ​​the Williams empire has become more than 7.1 million square kilometers, surpassing India and ranking seventh!

Netizens laughed and said: Australia seems to be unable to sit still, and will soon be exploded by the Williams Empire~~~chrysanthemum!!!

Hehe, Australia, hurry up and pick up the soap!!!

Another netizen couldn't help feeling deeply: I'm going, it's only been a few years, and the Williams empire has become so awesome! Henry Williams is really the number one legendary figure in history!!!

The Williams Empire is too powerful. If someone says that the Williams Empire will unify Africa in the future, I'm a little bit convinced now!

At this moment, the headlines of the major media are all reporting this matter.

Second, people are amazed at the deep pockets of the Williams empire.

One trillion dollars can be bought as soon as you say it, without even frowning. Who would dare to buy so many worthless deserts! And this trillion dollars is just money to buy land, so how can the cost of renovation be less? This TM is really rich! ! !

People were stunned!

At this time, when the global financial crisis was at its craziest, it was unbelievable that the Williams empire was so rich. Governments and companies around the world have asked for loans from the Williams Empire.

The phone calls continued every day, and many people even came to the door directly. Henry was so annoyed that he refused all of them.

Want a loan? Loan your sister! ! !

Henry thought to himself, I am not a philanthropist, so I will give you a loan at this time? What's more, the more the stock market falls, the more I earn! I spend money to buy a desert, and then transform the desert, don't I need to spend money?

After Henry bought a large number of deserts, Gene Umbrella immediately established the Sea Plant Genetic Engineering Project to cultivate salt-tolerant plants. Monsanto has done a lot of research on genetically modified plants, so it must not be a problem. Henry hopes to develop a plant that can completely absorb seawater, including the salt in seawater. Otherwise, the desert will become a saline-alkali land, which is not good. A large number of plants are planted in the desert, and the transpiration of the plants releases water. When there is too much water, it is easy to form rainfall, and then there will be fresh water in the desert!

In this way, in the future, deserts will no longer be deserts, but they can be inhabited and cities can be built.

In addition, the desert is similar to Mars to a certain extent, and the transformation of the desert environment is actually an accumulation of experience in the transformation of the Martian environment. In the next step, the Williams Empire will also establish a stronghold in Antarctica, on the one hand to accumulate experience, and on the other hand to occupy Antarctica in disguise. However, in a short period of time, the probability of Henry's hands-on to Antarctica is very low. After all, the Williams Empire has just bought so many deserts, and it has already made countries in the world very afraid of it. At this moment, the Williams Empire should not be too arrogant.

As the saying goes, low-key is king. Henry even canceled the 5.1 National Day military parade of the Williams Empire, and originally planned to send flying saucers to shock the whole world...

After thinking about it, Henry decided to lie dormant for a few more years until the military power catches up with that of the United States. At that time, arrogance also has the capital of arrogance! ! !

At this moment, the army of the Williams Empire has reached about 1.25 million, and the annual military expenditure in 2007 was as high as 800 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first in the world. In 2007, the GDP of the Williams empire was $8.95 trillion, which is nothing. Henry is very satisfied with the increase in population. So far, the number of citizens with the nationality of the Williams Empire has reached 543 million, far exceeding that of the United States! ! !
