MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 438 The biggest pen in history
Chapter 438 The biggest handwriting in history
The recent farce in Sardinia is very eye-catching.
The local residents want to sell themselves wholeheartedly, and the ideal recipient is Joanna, but the reason is unfounded—it stems from an unconfirmed guess. But this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the local residents. They set up a website and began to discuss things about the new country on it.
You have to admire the people who carried forward the Renaissance. There is an unusual style of literature and art in their blood, and the decisions they make break the rules and break the common sense. The roadside agency analyzed that this is because the number of elderly people on the island has decreased significantly, while young people account for a large proportion.
In a disease disaster, the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled are most likely to lose their lives. On the contrary, the young and strong have higher resistance. After a round of virus reshuffle, the local area is full of literary and artistic young people with forward thinking. And Joanna is the spiritual leader of the whole people, and countless people respect her.
What are these people talking about? First of all, it is determined to be the "kingdom", because in their consideration, this piece of land needs to be bought from the Italian government, and the land ownership belongs to Joanna. The establishment of a constitutional monarchy, and she will become the queen, is a satisfactory solution for both parties.
They also designed the national flag. In order to get rid of the connection with Italy, and refer to the historical Sardinian dynasty, they like to use the cross flag. As for the background color, it is still under discussion. Netizens came up with various plans, even foreign ones got involved, and they proclaimed themselves "honorary citizens" of the kingdom.
To the outside world, this is completely an overly romantic fantasy.
Because the dreams of the residents of Sardinia cannot even take the first step. First of all, Joanna has not made any public statement, and secondly, the Italian government has no attitude. The farce is likely to end in an oolong ending.
Only a few people know that the plan has already begun.
During the one-and-a-half-day discussion between the consortium and the Sardinian government, they got a positive answer. They really want to get out of the crisis, and they are also considering the establishment of a new country. It depends on how many benefits the new regime can bring. The promotion effect of future development and so on.
Mancini is not too worried about economic issues. He is well aware of the strength of this group of international capitalists. An Feng also gave a guarantee that he will set up some competitive enterprises to promote the local economy. At present, it is mainly the attitude of the Italian government. If they veto it, nothing will happen.
After An Feng returned to the United States, the matter over there also began to be discussed.
Austin has a huge network of relationships. He has brought the two parties in conflict together for dialogue. The government headed by Mancini sat with the Italian government. That morning, thousands of people gathered at the gate of Rome's parliament building to protest against the government's policy of deception and heavy taxation.
The explosion-proof police are on the alert. In this situation, the two sides started the first discussion since the conflict accumulated. The outside world does not know what the result was, but the reporter took pictures of the two sides shaking hands. The relationship seems to be pretty good. News It's lively again.
The two sides of the incident still remain silent.
Anfeng in the United States received a reply from Mancini, and the Italian government is indeed considering it.
Because the bankruptcy crisis is getting worse, the current national bond yield is about to exceed 9%, but the EU cannot help the four countries at once, and even some other small countries are also in crisis. At present, self-protection is more important, and Italy cannot keep it. I can only do something strange.
Before actually drafting the bill, there is a second discussion.
Mancini also said that if the negotiations are successful, matters concerning the new country will need to be established by a referendum. The interim parliament will draft a constitution and establish a series of new bills-this is not too difficult. The original Sardinia was A highly autonomous region with sound laws.
The second discussion decided to proceed in five days.
An Feng is also preparing. Once the discussion reaches an agreement, Italy will announce that the parliament will discuss the matter. Joanna also needs to make a statement. If both parties have intentions, the proposal will be submitted, and the parliament will vote to decide whether to sell it permanently. land to get out of debt.
In Sardinia, Mancini, as the head of the autonomous region government, must also organize a referendum. If they are willing to sell the people and the land to Joanna, they will vote for it. If the affirmative vote exceeds two-thirds of the total number of votes, and the number of voters accounts for more than two-thirds of citizens with voting rights, the two conditions are met, and they must agree to leave the Italian government and form a new government freely.
This is the first time for both An Feng and Joanna.
He felt that he was a little too impulsive, but he was ready. The consortium, as a think tank, has given many plans. Regarding the issue of the kingdom, he also referred to the history of Europe. Various complicated things are being discussed, and even informally with some country leaders. discussed.
Joanna is still confused, she asked An Feng: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
An Feng asked back: "I just want to ask you, I hope to become a queen, let my children become princesses and princes, and then build a country that meets our ideals, live freely in that land, and use this wealth and Is the history preserved, passed down from generation to generation?"
"This is too complicated." She frowned.
An Feng looked at her: "Don't think about anything else, I just ask, do you want to?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"That's fine." An Feng said, "There is nothing that cannot be overcome. I have solved such a terrible disaster as the virus, haven't I?"
"Then you must always accompany me and support me." She said.
"I will." An Feng opened his hand and embraced her, "I will create a better future for you and the children."
She nodded: "I believe in you."
…
The second discussion between Sardinia and Italy begins.
The next day, both sides held a press conference. Italy decided to let the parliament discuss and make resolutions on the sale of the island. This move will benefit and reduce the huge debt of the government, get rid of the bankruptcy crisis, and the remaining funds will be used for various social constructions and lower taxes.
Sardinia will hold a referendum ten days after the announcement to decide whether to sell the island to Joanna and establish a new country. At the same time, Joanna's spokesperson officially stated that she will consider the terms of the transaction with the Italian government and start negotiations with it.
All three parties have officially stated their positions, and the matter of selling the island is on the agenda.
The decision caused a sensation, with news outlets all over the world rushing to report it. The matter is too important. It is rare for a country to decide to sell its land permanently, but it is not unprecedented. In history, Russia sold Alaska. What's more important is that the buyer is the highly respected Joanna.
To talk about selling the country, it is not enough to compare with Joanna's decision.
She is very popular now, and her every move attracts attention. Although there have been rumors about buying the island before, after it was officially confirmed, people suddenly realized that it was not a joke. When people all over the world regarded this as an after-dinner joke, it has now become a very possible fact.
People pay close attention, and even residents of certain countries expressed their willingness to sell themselves and their land to Joanna.
This actually caused a round of Internet craze.
…
Due to the rarity of the matter, this agreement is three-sided. The people of Sardinia, the Italian government, and the three parties headed by Joanna are all discussing. As long as any party is not satisfied with the decision, the agreement will not be signed. There are still many items in the drafted rules.
To give a simple example, Joanna reached a sales agreement with Italy, but Sardinia disagreed, so there was no way; Satisfied, Joanna is satisfied, Italy is not satisfied with the price, there is no way.
The matter of price negotiation is at the bottom of the list. It has to be discussed and approved by the Italian government, and after the Sardinian people's referendum is passed, the matter of buying and selling can be played. The consortium's think tank will be in charge of this matter, and there are hundreds of lawyers hired alone, as well as various temporary experts.
They need to analyze the situation in Sardinia, measure various conditions, resources, and geographical advantages, in order to come up with a reasonable price... There are about 500 people in this area. The consortium is taking this matter very seriously this time, and success or failure is also related to their future career.
An Feng and Joanna are even more busy. There are too many things to deal with. Establish a good relationship in advance. Office workers are busy and tense.
…
Finally, the Italian government officially decided to sell Sardinia at the right price. In the referendum in Sardinia, the number of voters reached 90%, and the number of people who voted for it reached 95%. It was passed with a very high support rate. After the two parallel conditions were reached, the sale and purchase negotiations began.
Right now, the whole world is boiling.
I didn't expect the original joke, and now it's about to come true! I didn't expect the baroness to be so rich. The outside world estimated that Sardinia's price was more than 300 billion U.S. dollars-the fact mercilessly smashed the rich list, and she easily surpassed the world's richest man by a few blocks.
Since August, consortium think tanks have been in contact with Italy.
At the same time, the Sardinian government is also planning to reorganize, mainly in terms of political parties. The largest party wants to change its name to the "Liberal Party", and the second largest party is called the "People's Party". Queen of Dynia" what kind of rights.
Everyone knows that if she comes to be a restricted monarch, she will not agree. At least some special treatment must be given, but the bottom line cannot be crossed—democracy. What they want to establish is not a dictatorial monarchy. "Royal family" is their definition of private landowners.
Negotiations are long and the world is watching closely.
From mid-August to September, the specific results have not yet come out. The negotiation is more complicated than imagined, and there are many rules and regulations. It can be said that every decimal point is the struggle of both parties. And the third party, Sardinia, also has to establish the benefits it can get in the transaction.
An Feng and Joanna have had a lot of social gatherings recently, including on behalf of individuals and on behalf of the country... There is good news and bad news. He will have to bleed for giving up his American citizenship, and Joanna will also have to give up his British citizenship. Things, can't play dual nationality, she represents the kingdom.
After a long wait, at the beginning of October, the negotiations ended with the satisfaction of all three parties.
The final result is that the Ans couple invested 420 billion U.S. dollars to permanently purchase the land of Sardinia from the Italian government, and the Sardinian people will form their own country. Italy will respect all legal and democratic opinions and recognize that the other party has Sovereignty, establishment of diplomatic relations.
In the "Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Responsibilities of States", it stipulates in detail the criteria that define whether a country is legal or not in international law. These criteria include: having a definite territory, having a permanent population, having a government, and Other sovereign states have diplomatic relations.
The last point is particularly important. Many private countries satisfy the first few items, but if they do not have diplomatic relations with a sovereign state, they do not belong to a sovereign state. But this is the most important and also the most difficult one, and now it is easy. The contract stipulates that the Italian government must establish diplomatic relations with it.
In the specific amount, 320 billion U.S. dollars belonging to Italy will be paid in two years; and the remaining 100 billion U.S. dollars will be paid to all 1.5 million citizens of Sardinia, which will be paid in three years. The money was the price Joanna had to pay for owning the land.
The final confirmation of the transaction is set on October 30th. In the thick stack of contracts, the people of Sardinia and Joanna are the ones who can go back. The price was already set and could not be changed - a default of 5% would pay a liquidated damages, which the Italian government could not afford.
In October, the Sardinian Parliament held frequent discussions. They will decide the nature of the new country and establish a parliamentary monarchy. The owner of the land is Elizabeth Joanna Circe Stanwell-Ann, Queen Stan of Sardinia Ville-Ann, 999-year land title.
The main laws are also the most concerned by the consortium: the queen owns land ownership, and all overseas investment activities do not need to pay income tax and personal tax; domestic investment has income tax relief, personal tax relief, inheritance Tax exemptions and other privileges.
The people give the queen the above privileges, and the queen should delegate power to the government accordingly. National taxation and land taxation are also completely managed by the government. The royal family has no right to intervene, but has the right to dismiss the prime minister and dissolve the parliament (too many rules). There are also the rights of the king (queen) to the country, their own obligations, etc.
These main items are completely in line with the consideration of the consortium.
Joanna wouldn't sign the deal if it wasn't the right fit. The people of Sardinia also know that with so many benefits from the queen, if they don't give special treatment, fools will agree to the deal. More than 400 billion US dollars, enough to live in any place, why choose you?
On the afternoon of October 30th, the three parties formally signed the agreement.
This is the largest land transaction in history. It started with a very eye-catching start and ended with a result that shocked the world.
In Sardinia, a new dynasty kicks off.

PS: Due to limited conditions (network, language, etc.), this price is simply calculated. If Switzerland really wants to buy Sardinia in the future, the price will conflict with the plot... Please ignore it directly, and it has nothing to do with the author. Written: November 2, 2014.
PS2: And hey, since the Scottish incident, many regions in Europe want to be independent...I mean realistically,
