Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The Kangaroo Country is both a country and a vassal territory of Britain.

This can be seen from the composition of the country's leaders.

Each territory and state has considerable autonomy.

The supreme leader is not the commander-in-chief, but the governor-general.

If you want to develop in this place, it is more effective to contact local people than to contact the upper level.

The city of Darwin is the most peculiar among the six states and two territories.

There is an urgent need for investment.

And there is little discrimination against foreigners.

after all.

The Northern Territory is the region with the most complex origins of its inhabitants.

There are a large number of foreign immigrants living here.

There are a total of seventy-five nationalities, and it is known as the most inclusive city in Kangaroo Country.

At the same time, it is the gateway to Yazhou!

Working with them will allow Lin Kaifeng to successfully display his talents.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Hongbing, you are right. Darwin is different from other cities in Kangaroo Country. This place once enjoyed unprecedented glory because of the war."

"Later, due to a series of events, the area fell into decline several times, and a large number of capable, highly educated, and skilled people left here."

"No development can be separated from people. The population of the entire Northern Territory, including Darwin, is about 100,000, and there are no other resources except minerals."

"And the vast majority of the area is a treacherous, desolate place."

"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. This is not only a proverb in our Dragon Country, but also has the same description in the Western world."

“Who doesn’t want to make their hometown prosperous and strong?”

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "People's hearts are complicated. People like Karl want their hometown to become prosperous, and they also hope that Darwin City can be on an equal footing with other large cities."

"Although they are also administrative centers, other cities are full of large international companies, have complete infrastructure, and their citizens' incomes are higher than others."

"On the other hand, the income of people in Darwin is very different from that in other cities. Who would be willing to accept such a gap?"

"Finalize the cooperation agreement with Darwin City Council. You will be responsible for the development work here. I will continuously transfer relevant personnel here."

Choosing to invest in Darwin is not only because of its rich mineral resources.

At the same time, the place is in desperate need of outside investment.

If you ask for help from others, they will naturally cooperate with all their strength.

Unlike those big cities in the southeast, the official leaders are all very arrogant.

I look down upon the Dragon people.

In the original time and space, the cooperation between Longguo and Darwin City began in the 21st century.

Entering the new century, Longguo's economy has shown a trend of rapid development.

Overseas trade is booming.

In 10 years, the Dragon Country replaced the Island Country and became the world's second largest economy.

Enterprises have gone overseas one after another and vigorously expanded their overseas business branches.

Against this backdrop, a Chinese enterprise took the initiative to contact the city of Darwin.

Proposed a commercial partnership for leasing the Port of Darwin.

Even in the 21st century, Darwin remains the least economically developed region in the Kangaroo Country.

The jurisdiction covers 20% of the total area of ​​the Kangaroo Country.

There is a total area of ​​150 million square kilometers of land and a population of only 23.

Compared to the current total population, it is only 70,000 to 80,000 more.

If it were any other city in Kangaroo Country, it would never lease the port to a Dragon Country enterprise for such a long time.

In Darwin, the impossible becomes possible.

The local government not only agreed to lease Darwin Port to Longguo Enterprises.

There was no bargaining during the negotiation.

Ninety-nine years means ninety-nine years, not a single day less.

It is learned that Longguo Enterprises will also focus on investing in Darwin City.

Jones, the future mayor, took the initiative to help coordinate the US troops stationed in Port Darwin.

Even though the United States was extremely reluctant, the port was eventually leased to Longguo.

Seeing that Darwin City has gained unprecedented benefits from its cooperation with Dragon Country, other traditional cities in Kangaroo Country have adopted the mentality of "the grapes are sour because they can't eat them."

He often criticized the city of Darwin in the Supreme Council, accusing it of selling out the country and ceding territory.

The remaining days.

Lin Kaifeng proposed that Jones accompany him to inspect various places in the Northern Territory.

Although he didn't know why Lin Kaifeng specifically asked him to accompany him, Jones still introduced to Lin Kaifeng in detail the various resources in the Northern Territory.

Five days passed in a flash.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Lin Kaifeng invited Jones to have dinner with him.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Kaifeng put down his knife and fork and said suddenly, "Mr. Jones is so young, yet he can serve as the local Minister of Industry. Your family must be very powerful in the Northern Territory, right?"

Hearing this, Jones put down his cutlery and said proudly, "Our family is one of the earliest immigrants to the Kangaroo Country. Our family history is as long as the city of Darwin."

Everyone has something to be proud of, and Jones is no exception.

During World War II, Darwin became the forefront of the Kangaroo Nation's resistance to the invasion of the island nation.

As the largest indigenous family in the area, dozens of young men from the Jones family joined the army and went to the battlefield.

At the end of the war, the family received a total of twenty-eight medals of bravery.

The heavy medal of bravery represents that twenty-eight young men of the Jones family died on the battlefield.

"So you are a family of honor. I am so sorry."

Lin Kaifeng said admiringly.

"That's all in the past. In the 1970s, Darwin was hit by a typhoon, and the whole city seemed to have gone back decades. A large number of locals left here to live in other areas, more than 300,000 people left."

"My grandfather, the Speaker of the Territory at the time, was anxious and angry, and died a few days later."

"Before he died, he left a will, hoping that I could come back to live and help restore the Northern Territory to its former glory."

Jones picked up his glass and took a long drink.

In 1869, the Jones family sailed across the ocean to the Northern Territory.

Including family members, there are less than 200 residents in the Northern Territory.

Ten years later.

Gold was discovered near Darwin, ushering in the first major development.

Cities were built and the population grew.

At its peak, the Northern Territory had a population of half a million.

By 1942, the Northern Territory had become a major target for attacks by the island nation's fleet.

The endless bombing turned the city of Darwin into ruins.

During the war, the Island Volunteer Corps carried out more than sixty major bombing raids in the Northern Territory.

A large number of people left their homes and headed inland to escape the war.

It was not until the end of the war that the city of Darwin began to rebuild.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Twenty years later, disaster struck again.

As the oldest family in Darwen, the Jones family has witnessed the city's ups and downs.

Old Jones died of grief and anger over the city's decline, winning the admiration of countless local people.

Relying on family power and public recommendation, Jones naturally became the Minister of Industry.

Lin Kaifeng said to himself, "So that's how it is."

No wonder Jones, who was still young, could become the Minister of Industry.

And more than 20 years later, it was able to leave the US military speechless.

Dare to ask the US troops stationed in the port to surrender the right to use the port.

Despite heavy pressure from Kangaroo Country's top leaders and major cities, the right to use Darwin Port was leased to Dragon Country Enterprises for 99 years.
