MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 437 unprecedented prestige
Chapter 437 Unprecedented prestige
At this time, the four countries of the pigs are not very peaceful.
Demonstrations erupted in several countries, notably Greece and Italy, against the actions of the government and the fears that had accumulated during the virus disaster, which now turned into an explosion of discontent. Especially government employees, who have just survived the disaster and now have no salary, it is no wonder they are not annoyed!
The Italian government is very distressed and on the verge of bankruptcy. The situation is worse than the subprime mortgage crisis two decades ago. At that time, the European Union would lend a helping hand, and the IMF would also help, but now the world is in a busy post-disaster situation In the process of resuming work, finances are very tight.
There is also a protest march in Sardinia, which seems to be expanding.
The Italian government notified the Sardinian government to try to control the situation, because Sardinia is an autonomous region with a high degree of autonomy, and the local police obey the district governor. Unfortunately, Mancini said that due to financial problems, the current There are not many policemen anymore, and the policemen have sacrificed the most in disasters.
Mancini's attitude is very perfunctory... In fact, he is also dissatisfied.
Because of the government’s series of failed measures during the disaster, they suffered heavy losses. Mancini’s nephew’s family died of SFV virus. If it wasn’t for Joanna’s timely treatment, he and his family would have been cremated. The place is buried for future generations to mourn the ending.
So this dissatisfaction demonstration was acquiesced by the government.
When there is a lot of dissatisfaction, you need to find a place to vent. Although the referendum is considered illegal, it does not prevent the people from being enthusiastic about discussions. There is even a discussion about selling yourself. First, it will ease the debt crisis in Italy. But they can also take the opportunity to escape.
In fact, this is a problem that both parties can benefit from.
It's a pity that no one is interested in Sardinia. Even the Swiss government can't take care of themselves. They are next to France. The virus mercilessly attacked this country that has been peaceful for more than a hundred years. The World War II did not affect them as a permanent neutral country. However, the virus killed them all.
No one has the money to consider this business now.
According to the inside story from Austin, the Italian government is considering selling Sardinia, and it is useless to keep it now. The local resistance is strong, and if they get weapons, they will fight for independence with arms. It is obviously better to solve the problem peacefully and get another sum of money.
The Italians are also frightened by the bankruptcy crisis, and they cannot afford it in special times.
…
Under such circumstances, An Feng and Joanna went to Italy in late July.
The reason to the outside world is just a special aid event of the foundation, with locations all over Europe. Due to Mancini's request, the heroic couple who made their debut after the disaster will decide to go to Sardinia to visit local church schools that need aid and participate in government organizations charity activities.
The Italian authorities reminded them to pay attention to travel safety.
Because the situation in Sardinia is indeed a bit delicate, the Italian government is absolutely unwilling to see any accidents encountered by this legendary couple in the local area, otherwise the whole world will throw bricks at them. In order to prevent, An Feng also brought a team of bodyguards and traveled with high standards.
Milan transit, was chartered to use a private jet to the capital of Sardinia.
The plane landed at Cagliari's airport very quickly. The airport was very lively. The portholes were full of welcome crowds, surrounded by the red carpet and surrounded by cameras. It felt like the specifications of a foreign head of state visiting. This treatment It's unusual, and it's a spontaneous petition from the people.
The reason is that a week ago, after the local government confirmed that An Feng and Joanna visited Cagliari, the residents voluntarily came to greet them out of gratitude, not only laying the red carpet, but also prepared a lot of flowers on the spot. Residents look forward to the sky, just as in the darkest hour, they look forward to the planes overhead, expecting them to drop the relief kits with the ANS logo printed on them.
Bombardier Global-8000 turned around and came to the welcome area.
The gangway had just opened, and the cheers of the crowd outside had already sounded. The stewardess stood sideways. Infected by this scene, she also straightened her back. When An Feng and Joanna appeared at the gangway, there was applause and cheers Together, they waved their hands and walked down the gangway.
There are cameras and cheering crowds all around, and bodyguards follow around, ready to go.
The Italian government’s reminder is correct, the local residents’ emotions are somewhat problematic—but the dissatisfaction is with the government, and the enthusiasm is with them. Infected by this enthusiasm, An Feng and Joanna deliberately slowed down their pace, looked at the crowd holding banners frequently, and nodded with a smile.
Multiple cameras were aimed at them, and this specification was already visited by a foreign head of state.
But everyone thinks it should be, for the hero who saved more than one million people, for the spiritual leader of their dark age, this kind of treatment is not too much. They stayed at the scene for five more minutes before getting on the car amidst the cheers of the crowd, and left the airport surrounded by crowds, with constant shouts behind them.
Their prestige is unprecedented in the local area.
Even because of their arrival, a rally in Cagliari was automatically canceled that day. No one needs to dissuade them. They need to make a good impression on the visitors and do not want to see the chaos after the disaster. They are willing to do what Joanna wished, Live peacefully and freely.
Even the mayor of the district, Mancini, was surprised by the sudden improvement in order, and the restlessness of the crowd disappeared.
…
After a break in the morning, charity activities will start in the afternoon.
The inviting party is the Sardinian Religious Welfare Foundation, which is also assisted by the government. The Elizabeth Foundation is considering aiding the education of orphans in Cagliari. Through the complicated relationship, and An Feng also intends to test the word, the invitation came naturally.
In order to welcome their arrival, the local welfare foundation made special preparations.
Mrs. Mancini took the lead to greet.
Mrs. Mancini looks to be in her fifties, with black hair and a lot of wrinkles on her face. Westerners always tend to look old, but she is still energetic. She enthusiastically shook hands with Joanna and An Feng, using a not-so-fluent An Feng also communicated with her in a little bit of Italian.
"You are very welcome, Mr. and Mrs. An." Mrs. Mancini said.
"You're welcome, just do your best." Joanna said, just like her Protestant character, she was very indifferent to doing good.
She smiled: "Then let's go to the site for a visit first?"
"Lead the way, please," Joanna said.
Cagliari outside the car window is a simple and unsophisticated city, perhaps because of its early development. Like many cities in Italy or Europe, the streets are full of old buildings, reflecting the neoclassical style everywhere, with thick walls. Narrow windows, extensive use of masonry.
The church building that needs to be rebuilt when the convoy arrives at the local area looks dilapidated on the outside, and the inside is the same. There are not many things left, and they are all dilapidated. However, the local people have deep feelings for the building. Even so, they will not tear it down and rebuild it. It's about trying to fix it.
This disaster has broken too many families, and the number of orphans has suddenly increased. The government is on the verge of bankruptcy, and there is no financial assistance. The only way to help build church schools is through charitable fundraising. This time they were very pleasantly surprised, because the chairman of the foundation came in person, which caused a sensation in the local area.
People don't go to work anymore, and want to come and see the real face for themselves.
In fact, they are very satisfied. They are indeed the most attractive and best-dressed women who have been selected by the British media for many times. They have a good figure, elegant temperament, well-dressed, and infinite personal charm. Although the husband next to him is dressed in a suit , but the body looks good.
Men and women are well matched, satisfying people's imagination.
Rather than visiting, it is more about talking to the people around her. Joanna looks a little aloof and doesn’t have much close contact, but it still fits their imagination. Afterwards, she decided to aid in the construction of five local church schools, so that all orphans could have a safe haven again.
Her visit was broadcast on the evening news, with a lot of space and praise.
There will be a charity banquet in the evening, local residents’ representatives and philanthropists will all attend, and Joanna can’t miss it naturally. She will also have a brief speech. If the conditions do not allow it, the media hope to have a live broadcast... This kind of enthusiasm, really What is irresistible.
The next day, Austin Blueline and a group of consortium members arrived in a low-key manner.
After the morning activities, they met with members of the consortium and used the afternoon to have some secret discussions with the Sardinian authorities. It is not known exactly what happened, but it may be more important. The concerned outside residents found that An Feng and Joanna stayed for an extra day for this.
After that, they left.
Many residents were curious about what was going on, but this time the government kept silent.
More people became curious, and some people kept digging, wanting to get some secrets... Then, an anonymous person broke the news. He said that the government was discussing the sale of Sardinia, and the interested party was Joe Baroness Anna, she loves this place.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded on the Internet!
The local government did not make any comment on this, but this silence represented tacit consent. Judging from the trend of discussions on the Internet, the local residents were indeed very interested—no, it should be very enthusiastic. They hoped that the Baroness could enter Sardinia Island, the establishment of a new sovereign state.
If people were emotional when the news first came out, after they calmed down, some matters involving personal privacy were dug up. For example, the assets of the Ans couple, through a series of analysis, the research center belongs to them (now dismantled), followed by Ans Industries, Bida is also theirs, although it is not clear how much the shares are, but the financial strength , it is not impossible to buy an island.
So now they are popular and wealthy, and they can do it.
The vast majority of people agree with it with both hands. They have no doubt about Joanna's leadership ability. Even if it is not her, Mr. An can consider it, but it is not suitable...Anyway, the proportion of approval is very high, except for a small number of diehards , Resolutely not allowed outside.
There is a congressman who disagrees with this nonsense.
As a result, the next day his house and car were spray-painted, with the words "Why didn't the virus kill you!" Spit it out and complain why they didn't die in this disaster...
The congressman really provoked the anger of the public and hurt the most vulnerable place in the residents' hearts.
In the end, he had to apologize publicly, saying that his previous remarks were inappropriate. He, like everyone else, acknowledged the crucial role of the An family in this crisis, but politics cannot be driven by personal preferences... As a result, he once again attracted a lot of attention. There was a scolding battle, and the crowd of the assembly blocked the door of the house.
The signs and banners read: We choose what we like, this is democracy!
