Chapter 478 Federal Conference
"Our reporter reported on the scene that last night, the originally peaceful city suddenly fell into chaos. A large number of refugees gathered on the streets and attacked residents' homes, not only looting property but also injuring many people. This sudden riot frightened the residents, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.

Reporters at the scene saw that some windows of residents' houses were smashed and the houses were in a mess. Many residents fled their homes in the chaos, seeking a safe place. The refugees on the streets seemed extremely agitated, some holding sticks, and some even waving knives, threatening and attacking passers-by.

In addition to residential homes, shops in the city were not spared. Reporters visited several looted shops and found that the shelves were emptied and the goods were scattered all over the floor. The shop owners stood helplessly at the door, watching their hard work being destroyed. Some shop owners were even attacked by refugees and fell to the ground injured.

Even office buildings in the city center were attacked. Reporters at the scene saw that the glass doors of the office buildings were smashed and the building was in chaos. Some staff members fled the scene in the chaos, while some were trapped in the building, waiting for rescue.

Police Chief Commander Neil was not spared in the riot. According to eyewitnesses, Neil was attacked by refugees while directing the scene and fell to the ground. He was then rushed to the hospital for treatment.

At present, the police have dispatched a large number of police forces to the scene to maintain order and try to control the actions of the refugees. At the same time, the authorities also issued a statement calling on citizens to remain calm and not panic. The authorities will take all necessary measures to protect the lives and property of citizens.

The cause of the riot is still unclear, but according to preliminary information, it may be related to the refugees' difficult life and emotional disorder. Here, we call on all sectors of society to pay attention to the living conditions of refugees and provide them with more help and support. At the same time, we also hope that the authorities can strengthen security measures to ensure the safety of citizens' lives and property..."

"boom!"

"You're actually still speaking for those bastards! Australia is in such a mess because of people like you..."

Suddenly, before the reporter in the picture could finish his words, an unidentified object hit him and knocked him unconscious.

Then a big man ran in front of the camera and started swearing.

However, the audience was not attracted by his words, but instead focused their attention on what was behind him.

A car was speeding on the road, ignoring the police's obstruction and colliding with several cars on the roadside, aiming directly at the crowd of people who were marching.

"Boom!"

"boom!"

Amid a burst of rapid gunfire, several bullet holes appeared in the car's glass.

The car began to deviate from its direction, brushing past the man who had just breathed foul language, and crashed into a telephone pole.

The electric pole was knocked down and fell onto a roadside building, making a dull sound.

Sparks popped from the poles and the crowd suddenly became chaotic and scattered in all directions.

Soon, the picture stopped and an advertisement started playing.

"Tsk! What the hell? I just saw a tense moment."

"Change the channel, change the channel!"

The patients in the hall started shouting. They had been waiting here for so long, and now their only pleasure was taken away. Naturally, they wanted to find a place to vent.

The hospital staff did not refuse this request, and they did not want to cause any noise here.

Switching channels, it's news again.

"Due to the seriousness of the situation and the strong public protests, all provinces and the capital are now holding meetings to discuss how to resolve the refugee conflict and the security of Turkey and Australia..."

"Oh, this is not a simple matter." An old man stroked his beard and shook his head.

"Why is it so difficult?" asked a middle-aged Chinese man nearby.

"Australia is so inefficient. It has only been a short time since they took countermeasures. It seems to be very different from their usual style. It seems as if they had prepared it in advance."

"It's gotten so serious now, they have to take control. Maybe it's because there are too many Asians and the authorities are starting to get involved. Aren't there many Chinese people holding important positions now?" the uncle retorted.

"I've been in Australia for so many years. According to their previous methods, each province should handle it on its own and would not pay any attention to the capital, let alone sit down and discuss. Only the federal conference will gather in Kansas City..." the old man continued.

"Hey, you old man, isn't that the Federal Conference on TV?"

"I'm old, my eyesight isn't very good, I can't see such small words clearly..."

"..."

The main functions of the Australian Federal Parliament include making and amending federal laws, representing the Australian people, providing a place for the formation of government and supervising the work of the government. The Parliament is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

At the federal level, the parliamentary camp is roughly divided into the ruling D and the opposition D.

In addition to the two major camps, there are also several factions, such as the Green Party and the Democratic Party.

Kan Village, Parliament House.

The building was opened by the Queen of the United Kingdom and at the time of its construction it was the most expensive man-made structure in the Southern Hemisphere.

This is the core of Australia's executive and legislative powers.

The building features a unique X-shaped floor plan, with the core intersection located under the six-story glass skylight at the top, which is the solemn Council Chamber.

Its two wings hold the House of Representatives and the Senate respectively, forming a balanced and harmonious structure. On the exterior of the building, the most eye-catching elements are the double boomerang-shaped design and a huge flagpole that is 81 meters high, which together constitute the unique identity of the building.

The interior design is equally wonderful, with deep corridors, spacious halls, and numerous rooms. Many rooms are open to the public, with elegant decoration styles and clean and bright spaces, providing visitors with a comfortable visiting experience. The stairs and their handrails are all made of the noble material of white marble, highlighting the elegance and dignity of the building.

In terms of color selection, the Senate in the building uses ochre red, which is full of solemnity and stability, symbolizing the dignity and majesty of power. The House of Representatives uses the green color of eucalyptus leaves, which is unique to Australia. It is fresh and natural, implying vitality and vigor, and also symbolizes democracy and hope. This color combination not only makes the building more beautiful, but also has profound cultural connotations.

“So far everything has been going great and everything is going exactly as we planned.”

"It's not smooth sailing at all. The chief commander of Mo Village was attacked yesterday." The chief commander of the federal police in Kan Village knocked on the table angrily. Neil used to be his old subordinate. When something like this happened, he would definitely be the first to speak out.

"Don't get so excited. Some sacrifices are necessary."

"Yeah, aren't things going on track? Neil was attacked this time, and we will give him a certificate of honor and a large sum of money..."

Many people spoke to comfort them, saying that these people were Freedom D and National D people, and that the people supporting them were all Australian capitalists.

"Well, now that we have emerged from the impact of the financial crisis, several important companies in Australia are now controlled by foreigners, which will strangle the economic lifeline of the entire country. Now we need to forcibly take back control of these companies..."

"Will they agree? If this gets out, who will dare to invest in Australia in the future?"

As soon as the Free D guy finished speaking, the Work D guy interrupted.

"It's not free, of course I'm paying them, no matter if they agree or not."

"This will make Australia lose credibility internationally."

"Then do you have a better solution? We are not targeting everyone. We are only targeting those companies that have a great impact on the country. Let me add that they are those companies controlled by Asians. Which country would turn against us over such a small matter? Wouldn't they cooperate with us if there is benefit? Australia exports so many mineral resources every year, and they are cheap. With these things in hand, what are we afraid of?" "That's right. Those companies originally belonged to the Australians. They took advantage of the financial crisis to snatch them from us. Now it's time to return them. It's not like we don't want to pay. At most, we can give a little more and treat it as interest."

The people of Liberty D say this just to please their financial backers.

"But Australia is a free country. Such methods should not appear on this land." The people from Workers D spoke up.

Since the Asians took over those companies, the treatment of employees has been improved. Although there is no change in holidays, it is better than before, which is in line with the purpose of their work.

Although these Asian bosses do not offer high salaries in their own countries, they are very generous abroad because they want to gain a foothold in other countries.

Now the Workers' Party is in power, and they still regard the Freedom Party and the National Party as competitors.

The conflict between the two sides suddenly broke out, making the atmosphere in the meeting place quite awkward.

"Are you kidding me? What nonsense are you talking about? Even Ruishi Bank can freeze other people's accounts at will, so why can't we do something similar? What is power for? Of course it is to be used. Now that the power is in our hands, we can do whatever we want. Besides, this is also for the benefit of the country." The people from State D slammed the table and loudly accused the people from Workers D.

"I agree with his point of view. However, we need to present a better appearance to the outside world and find some 'reasonable' words to drive them away. This way everyone can look decent." The Green D people expressed their support.

As the weakest of the four Ds, it often plays the role of a fence-sitter, and no one can figure out which side it supports, so it is nicknamed a troublemaker by the other three Ds. Its main message is that if I can't govern, I will disgust you.

"I think we should solve the refugee problem first, as well as those believers..." The people from Worker D seemed to have compromised on this matter and quickly changed the subject, not dwelling on it any further.

"Give them money and arrange a plane or ship to take them away!"

"Where to send it? After such a big incident, who is willing to take over this mess now?"

"How about giving it to our good brother and neighbor, New Zealand Blue? If we allocate some money to them, it can also solve their population problem."

"Come on, I don't want to have conflicts with other countries."

"Should we send them back to their own country? But there is a war going on there, and these people will definitely not go back. This will only make the situation worse."

"I have a suggestion, send them near The Republic of Nauru!"

"..."

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

Nauru, whose full name is the Republic of Nauru, is located on the vast central Pacific Ocean, in the blue sea about 42 kilometers south of the equator, northeast of Australia, with a land area of ​​21.1 square kilometers.

"Will they agree to go there? And it seems like there's not enough space for so many people."

"We pay local fees for refugees' wages. They need to build new airports, hospitals and universities, and we will provide support for all of these. Besides, there are many places around that can accommodate refugees, such as Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and Fiji."

"That's a good idea. We can pack them up in batches and send them to the beautiful country."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Will the beautiful country agree to it?"

"Why wouldn't they agree? If they want us to do things according to their requirements, they have to meet our small requests."

"That's right. If they don't agree, we'll go to the United Kingdom."

"This is a good idea, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

In the conference hall, everyone expressed their agreement.

The reason why these people agreed so readily was that the relationship between Nauru and Australia used to be somewhat complicated.

Nauru was able to establish a country, which must have had an economic source. It used to be a wealthy country with a per capita GDP of 3 U.S. dollars, surpassing the United States to become the world's number one. It is also the world's smallest island country. It was known by the outside world as a country that got rich by relying on guano, but now it has declined.

Over the long years, countless seabirds have chosen the island of Nauru as their habitat, leaving behind rich guano.

These bird droppings have undergone chemical transformations over time and gradually accumulated into a 10-meter-thick layer of precious fertilizer, which people affectionately call "phosphate mines." The phosphate mines on Nauru are extremely rich, occupying about 3/5 of the island's area, leaving only narrow flat land along the island's coast.

Phosphate resources have always been an important pillar of Nauru's economy, mainly exported to Australia and New Zealand. In the 20s and 100s, Nauru's annual phosphate production and export volume remained between 150 million and 20 million tons. However, since the 90s, due to over-exploitation, phosphate production has declined year by year, and resources are gradually facing the crisis of depletion.

Faced with this grim situation, the Nauru government decided to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice in 1989, demanding compensation from Turkey and Australia for the ecological damage caused by its phosphate mining before Nauru's independence.

After years of legal battles, Nauru and Australia reached an out-of-court settlement in 1993. Under the agreement, Australia agreed to pay Nauru 1.07 million Australian dollars in compensation.

Of this, A$5700 million will be paid in cash and used to establish a trust fund, and the remaining A$5000 million will be allocated annually over the next 20 years (approximately A$250 million per year) and will be used exclusively for environmental protection and development projects agreed upon by both parties.

The Australians still remember this great humiliation vividly, and sending these refugees over there can be considered as a form of revenge.

However, Nauru will definitely not agree easily, so we have to fool them first.

These politicians have the confidence to be so sure that the other side will agree to accept refugees.

Nauru Island is a unique geographical wonder. It has no winding rivers, and the only lake, Lake Buada, is not a source of fresh water, but has the characteristics of salt water.

Although the land enjoys abundant rainfall, due to the extremely high permeability of its surface soil, these precious water resources are difficult to be stored by the island, resulting in an extreme shortage of fresh water resources on the island.

Therefore, Nauru islanders rely almost entirely on external imports for drinking water.

As long as Australia can control the imported water source, it can make the Nauruans obedient.

Why didn't the Australians use this trick before, but instead paid compensation to the other side? That was because Nauru was very rich at the time and was a member of the United Nations, so they did not dare to act recklessly. However, times have changed and Nauru has long lost its former glory.

Due to over-exploitation, phosphate resources have gradually been depleted, resulting in a sharp decline in Nauru's fiscal revenue. In addition, Nauru's economic development has long relied on the mining and export of phosphates, and its economic structure is too single and lacks diversification. Once the phosphate resources are exhausted, Nauru's economy will fall into trouble.

Furthermore, rising sea levels and land erosion have made Nauru's living environment increasingly deteriorating, and its economic development has been greatly restricted. Financial management and corruption are also top priorities.

"By the time the meeting is over, the food will be cold." After browsing the news for a while, Chen Xi shook his head slightly, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

The cool running water splashed towards him like a breeze in the early morning, instantly dispelling his fatigue and making him feel refreshed.

Just as Chen Xi was immersed in the refreshing feeling brought by the water, suddenly, a big hand came silently from behind and pressed the back of his head firmly. Unprepared, his entire head was slammed under the faucet, and the cold water instantly soaked his head.
