Chapter 435 The Cyprus Problem

Compared with the negotiations on the Asia-Europe Power Grid, everyone is more concerned about the progress of the negotiations on several leases and ownership agreements. However, before that, the Ministry of Government reported on the follow-up matters of the freighter being hijacked.

Although the hijacked freighter was brought back that night local time and the crew was not injured, the loss of the two core components still caused an uproar in the world. For the Royal Navy, who was responsible for the escort of this freighter, the face was a little painful this time.

The angry British government launched almost all the forces that could be activated, searching the world for two core components, and all countries around the Gulf of Aden were twisted into pieces.

It’s just a pity that a week has passed, and they still find nothing. The two core components seem to have evaporated from the world, with no trace at all.

The rescued freighter has arrived in the UK at this time. Although they are not so anxious to use this set of equipment now, they themselves know that even if the two core components can be retrieved, it may be difficult to ensure their integrity. Now they are considering whether to pay to buy the two core components from Jeju Electric, although the quotation for the two components is as high as tens of billions of Jinan.

This is not the most important thing. What is important is the identity of the hijacker this time. Through the efforts of both the United Kingdom and the Ministry of Defense, the identity behind the other party has been determined. However, what no one expected was that the other party's identity was a bit sensitive. It was actually the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, a regime recognized by only one country in Turkey.

Their purpose was also confirmed. Although the final boss has not been caught, anyone with a brain can guess that it is nothing more than the president of the Republic of Cyprus. He recognized Ji Feng's island lease agreement. With Ji Feng's style of conduct, their Northern Cyprus Turkish Republic will definitely be suppressed, so they decided to take the initiative first.

It’s just a pity that although they did not take action, they were still caught. Among the pirates captured that night, there was really someone who knew about this matter, and even the advance payment paid to the other party by Northern Cyprus was found. What’s even more speechless is that the pirates actually recorded the sound while both sides were secretly talking about this matter. Even if they wanted to deny it, they couldn’t.

I have to say that pirates are getting stronger and stronger nowadays, and they like to use their brains when doing things.

The Ministry of Government then reported on the progress of negotiations in Cyprus. As for the issue of punishing and sanctions against Northern Cyprus, it still needs to be negotiated with the UK, and this matter is mainly based on the UK.

"The current progress in the negotiations in Cyprus has made some achievements, and other aspects can basically be resolved through negotiations, but there is only one thing that has huge disputes between the two sides: whether the Republic of Cyprus will remain and how the other party's national regime is guaranteed. After all, the lease period in 999 is indeed very long. They are worried that the Republic of Cyprus will no longer exist after the expiration."

"It's the loan problem in Cyprus. They were affected by the Greek debt crisis and fell into an economic crisis that lasted for several years. They borrowed 10 billion euros from the EU in just 13 years. The 2.5 billion euro loan from Russia in 11 years was not only unpaid, but also borrowed 2.5 billion yuan again. In addition to loans from other countries, the total loan amount now exceeds 21 billion euros. I'm afraid this is why they agreed to fulfill the lease agreement so happily. They can't see any hope of repaying these huge loans in a short period of time, so it's better to just pass it on to us."

"If the other party must accept Cyprus Island, we must accept these loans, and at the same time, we must not reduce the salary, benefits, etc. of Cyprus citizens."

"Our idea is to implement the terms of the lease agreement and try to ignore their country and loan issues, so there is a controversy, and this issue is the most important issue that the front-line negotiating team hopes to get guidance!"

The words of Jin Bingli from the Ministry of Government gave others a headache. This is indeed a difficult thing to deal with. If the lease agreement is implemented, Cyprus will definitely be gone. Not only southern Cyprus, but also northern Cyprus must be included.

But this obviously made the other party unable to agree. After all, the other party is a sovereign state. Even if it leases all the other party's territory, it makes no sense to completely eliminate the other party's country. Not to mention Northern Cyprus, it is a regime that the whole world does not recognize, but Southern Cyprus is recognized by all countries in the world. Naturally, it cannot be said that it will destroy the other party if it destroys it, and this is definitely something that the other party cannot agree.

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, they didn't dare to give any advice on this kind of thing. After all, the lease agreement belongs to their own and they are just managers.

Ji Feng lit a cigarette again and spit out a beautiful smoke ring and smiled: "Actually, this is not a problem at all. 21 billion or more loans are nothing to us. It is not a problem to maintain salary and benefits not to reduce, and even the retention of Cyprus is not a problem."

"It is possible to draw a place on the island of Cyprus, which belongs to the location of the Cyprus National Government. If you don't understand, you can refer to the situation in the Vatican to deal with it. Private territory can also contain a sovereign state. We must publicly admit that Cyprus is a truly sovereign state. We just leased Cyprus Island in 999. The Republic of Cyprus will obtain everything on the complete Cyprus Island in 999."

"They have all rights in other sovereign states, and we will never interfere in any internal affairs of the Republic of Cyprus, our laws only apply to our rental areas."

Ji Feng's proposal suddenly made everyone's eyes lit up, and they praised it. This was indeed the most appropriate solution. However, Lin Hui raised her own question: "Boss, since the Republic of Cyprus still exists, why do we still have to bear the debt of more than 20 billion euros for them and let them pay it back slowly."

Spark smiled and said, "Oh my God, I found that I should never offend women. People have given us the entire island, which is just over 20 billion euros, which is a drop in the bucket for the boss. And do you think the 999-year lease period in Cyprus is not enough for more than 20 billion?"

Ji Feng nodded slightly and smiled: "We all have to pay the rent. More than 20 billion yuan will be our rent for the next 999 years. This is a very cost-effective transaction."

Although the rent stated in the lease agreement is quite cheap, the era in which it is located has too many limitations. If you insist on paying according to the rent in that agreement, you may not be able to fulfill an agreement.

"What should I do in Northern Cyprus? We tried to contact the other party, but they ignored it at all and refused to admit the lease agreement." Jin Bingli once again raised a headache for everyone.

The island of Cyprus ruled north and south respectively. Currently, the Republic of Cyprus recognized the lease agreement is the Republic of Cyprus, which controls about two-thirds of the island and currently has a population of about 850,000, mainly Greeks, and the remaining one-third of the islands are controlled by the Northern Cyprus regime, mainly Turks.

Cyprus split shortly after its establishment. Over the decades, the international community has repeatedly hoped that the two sides could merge together. Unfortunately, the two sides have not been able to successfully negotiate.

What is most surprising is that these two obviously hostile regimes share the same capital. They have not worked together every day, and the average per capita GDP of tens of thousands of dollars is really not easy.

Ji Feng sighed and said, "Northern Cyprus is not a regime accepted by the international community, so we will not negotiate with them. But in order to respect them, we can visit Cyprus as well as give them no more than five square kilometers of land for them to use. When registering islanders, remember that all those who voluntarily become islanders will enjoy the benefits within our standards, and the rest of those who belong to Cyprus have nothing to do with us. Let them find a way for themselves. By the way, I don't want to recognize an anti-government regime, so we will never have diplomatic relations with North Cyprus."

Jin Bingli smiled and said, "Of course, this is what you want to admit if the boss wants to admit it, we will strongly oppose it, but what if Northern Cyprus refuses to cooperate?"

Spark laughed again from the side and said, "It's best not to cooperate. I believe Minister Lee will fight until they cooperate."

After Mr. Li became the Minister of Defense, his whole family basically immigrated to Jeju Island. As a result, Spark, who already had four wives, had a lot of fun with one of Mr. Li's granddaughters. During the Olympics last month, the two were already engaged and they might not get married soon.

Li Zhiqi said with some disagreement: "I think it's better not to use force. The situation there is more complicated, especially Turkey. Although we are not afraid of them, there is no need to establish an enemy for ourselves."

Minister of Human Resources Chen Xudong smiled and said, "I believe that Minister Kim will not let things develop to the point of using force, right? Minister Kim?"
