Chapter 322 This is More Than Just a Canal
Lu Wendong naturally had to confiscate it by force. However,
After all, the Sandinistas have been informing Nicaragua about the situation for nearly ten years.
We can't do the same thing as we did to United Fruit and other companies.
Compensation for the expropriation needs to be given to those involved in the Sanjie movement.
Lu Wendong said: "70% of the supplementary payment is in the form of physical land bonds issued by the government, which will be repaid in equal installments over ten years with an additional annual interest rate of 4%; 30% is in the form of public enterprise stocks (a lump sum payment will be made for stocks in the Nicaragua Canal, cement, paper, industry, mining, agriculture and forestry).
Physical land bonds are divided into two categories: rice and sweet potato. Rice bonds are repaid in rice, and sweet potato bonds are repaid in cash based on the current sweet potato price. "Lu Wendong's reliance is the Nicaragua Canal.
This is more than just a canal.
It was also the beginning of Nicaragua's industrialization. The next step,
Of course these assets have to be listed!
This just allows these people to subscribe to land, forest land and other resources.
"In exchange, all armed forces in the Sandinista and Contra organizations need to be disbanded on the spot, including but not limited to the police and soldiers in the Ministry of Defense." In other words,
Lu Wendong has to thank United Fruit and Sang Jie. If it weren't for them,
It’s not so easy for me to get the land in Nicaragua.
There is no need to consider the emotions of foreign companies such as United Fruit, but the emotions of Sanjie and other staff members need to be taken care of a little.
He has also been in charge of Nicaragua's national affairs for quite a few years.
Although he is being chased by the Special Operations Command,
The influence is still there.
As soon as Lu Wendong finished speaking,
The Sandinistas were immediately emotional: "Mr. Lu, land is sacred and inviolable."
"You just take our land away and give us some cheap stocks." "How are our people supposed to live?"
This didn't even require Lu Wendong to refute, he just glanced at Contra's side,
The people of Contra immediately sneered: "How funny, your land?"
“If that’s the case, the land was once ours,” they cried. “Nicaragua’s electricity and telecommunications were also owned by the Sozas.”
correct,
The Sandinistas' lands came from the overthrown Soza regime! And now,
Lu Wendong was equivalent to overthrowing the Sandinista regime. This is what is called karma.
The Sandinista side angrily said: "Your land is in private hands, our land is in the hands of the people."
"Your citizens are too representative."
The people on Contra's side were not very satisfied with Lu Wendong's proposal. They felt that Lu Wendong was too concerned about the peasants.
In Nicaragua,
The most important thing to practice is meritocracy! As for the peasants?
It's enough to stay in the thatched hut. But,
The enemy opposes,
I have to support myself. Compared to Lu Wendong,
What Contra hated more was the traitors like Sanjie. If it weren't for them,
I don't know how happy I am. Both sides immediately started arguing!
Lu Wendong waited for them to argue for more than ten minutes, until they were exhausted.
He then said lightly: "There is no room for discussion on this policy."
"If you, the Sanjie, cannot accept this, you can withdraw from the meeting now." The Sanjie people immediately calmed down.
The international community has gradually begun to recognize the new Nicaraguan regime, and because the new government has proposed demilitarization,
All military organizations currently in Nicaragua are illegal.
The new Nicaraguan government can always ask the United Nations for justice.
This will make the new government naturally invincible!
not to mention,
The people of Sanjie knew how powerful Lu Wendong was. The minions he had trained could walk through the jungle like flat ground! They were also well-equipped!
There’s no way we can win on our side! “Very good.”
Seeing everyone calm down,
Lu Wendong then continued, "The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will quickly measure the land and then make a secondary distribution." "Every Nicaraguan citizen will receive their own land."
Although Lu Wendong has finalized the Grand Canal project,
The Grand Canal project could also provide enough jobs, but
No matter whether it is an agricultural society or an industrial society, land is always the foundation.
Especially in Nicaragua, where poverty is so severe, there is a piece of land,
At least they can make a living by farming, otherwise there will be a large number of refugees.
If refugees don't have jobs,
By then, there will be sparks everywhere.
The Land to the Tiller program aims to address the problem of uneven land ownership by breaking up the land into smaller pieces.
Destroy the landlord economy in the countryside,
Break the situation of big landlords and small tenants.
This is just the first step.
After Nicaragua's industrialization catches up, Lu Wendong will continue with the second round of reforms.
It's still a bit early for this.
Lu Wendong was not sure that Nicaragua would develop according to his own ideas, so,
He needed to take another look.
One meeting doesn't solve anything, ultimately,
We still have to wait until these are implemented locally to see how they actually work. Lu Wendong's main purpose today is to unify our thinking.
And give specific guidelines. "The illiteracy rate in this country is very high."
Whether a place can develop depends a lot on its education level.
For example, Hong Kong Island,
The reason why it was able to immediately take over the obsolete production capacity from the West and successfully enter industrialization after the 1950s was that
Because since the 1950s,
The Hong Kong government and some Chinese people are consciously promoting universal education. There are literacy classes, night classes, etc.
That's everywhere. Literacy has increased,
When operating the machine, people can accept it quickly, so the transformation can be smooth.
And in Nicaragua,
It can be said that they are almost completely illiterate.
At present, I can only do physical work.
Only those from elite families can operate machinery... "I plan to set up literacy classes and intensive training courses across the country..."
"Men, women, young and old, all need to set aside two hours every day to focus on literacy." "Education is the top priority!"
One person said with difficulty: "Mr. Lu, universal education is of course good, but it costs a lot and the national treasury can't afford it." "Don't worry."
"The government will seek assistance from the United Nations," Lu Wendong said.
"The UN will mobilize volunteers and provide corresponding assistance." "If there is still a shortfall, my personal charitable foundation will make up for it."
Everyone looked at each other.
What else is there to say? Of course I agree.
After securing education and land,
Lu Wendong returned to the first topic: "After re-selection, the disbanded armed forces can become militias and auxiliary police to assist the country's public security forces."
Sanjie plus Contra and others,
The armed forces at hand exceed 4 or 5.
And the whole of Nicaragua has only 600 million people.
If all these soldiers on the battlefield were to be dealt with at once, there would be a high probability of causing some violent incidents.
It will greatly damage public security.
As for the placement of these people,
Lu Wendong also put in some effort.
He would never reintegrate these people into the regular armed forces.
But he couldn't let all these people enter society, so he had two plans.
One is the militia and auxiliary police that Lu Wendong mentioned earlier, and the other one...
Lu Wendong said, "If they still want to go to the battlefield, they can apply for a job at Donghuang Security. As long as they pass the interview, they will receive the international treatment they deserve." He glanced at the crowd and said, "The monthly salary is $100!"
Everyone was in an uproar: "Mr. Lu?"
What is the current monthly salary in Nicaragua? $10!
Is Lu Wendong generous? Of course not.
Because Donghuang Security wants to face the world, we need to treat everyone equally!
This $100 is the figure after Lu Wendong compromised.
For example, fighters from Central America and Nicaragua will be classified as junior fighters after joining Donghuang Security.
So you can get a salary of $100 per month.
After evaluating their specific military qualities and performance,
You can enter the next echelon to get higher salary, and wait until the end,
It is not impossible to get a monthly salary of $1000 like the soldiers recruited from the United States.
Lu Wendong made preparations for both scenarios. On the one hand,
He asked Jack to go to America to contact and recruit elite officers and coaches.
These people have the highest monthly salary, at least $2000!
On the other hand,
Donghuang Security's basic soldiers will mainly be from Central America and the Caribbean, and will be supplemented by American young soldiers.
In this composition,
The Central American generation of fighters was cannon fodder;
The young soldiers are squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders. This is not because Lu Wendong is partial,
It is because the military also needs culture! At least American soldiers have a good education.
He has also received the most professional tactical training and has been on the battlefield!
These people can take the lead.
But the Central American generation of soldiers was not so good, their illiteracy rate was very high,
Only handles firearms.
Someone must bring it with him.
As for Lu Wendong's assassins? That's the core strength!
Lu Wendong followed up, "You can also become non-staff recruiting officers for Donghuang Security."
"If you successfully recruit a soldier for Donghuang Security, you will receive a monthly salary of $10." "As long as this person remains in Donghuang Security, you will continue to receive this salary."
If one person contributes $10 per month, then 10 people contribute $100.
100 people is $1000... That's $1,000 a year! Oh my goodness,
This money is earned for nothing!
The minds of the people in the conference room raced, and their breathing quickened! That's right,
Lu Wendong's method is to outsource the recruitment of soldiers! At the same time,
He also set a prerequisite, that is, the applicant must be successful.
This can ensure the number of soldiers.
When these people took the initiative to help Donghuang Security recruit soldiers, they automatically boarded Lu Wendong's ship!
Over time,
These people will naturally become part of Donghuang Security.
Do they still want to rebel against Lu Wendong? By then,
Anyone who opposes Lu Wendong is opposing them! "Gentlemen."
Lu Wendong said: "There are many opportunities in this world. Don't limit your vision to Nicaragua."
