49 America Back Garden (2/2)
The value of the development is very large.
As a result, the Tortuga Island island purchase fee will be between $15 billion and $22 billion.
Second, open Google Maps and look at the location of Tortuga Island, is in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, geographically a very important location in the Caribbean.
During the Spanish colonial period of the Americas, Tortuga was the home base of pirates in the Caribbean. It was not until the 1740s that Tortuga Island was weakened as a pirate center and was replaced by the Port of Royal, Jamaica.
It is also important to note that it is located in the hinterland of the back garden of the United States, less than a thousand kilometers from Florida.
From a military point of view, in the international arena, the conventional practice of the range of missiles is within 1000KM of short-range missiles, the range of medium-range missiles is 1000~3000km, and the range of long-range missiles is 3000~8000km. The range of intercontinental missiles more than 8000km.
A missile base is set up on Tortuga Island, and a short-range missile can be hit the United States. The range of long-range missiles and intercontinental missiles can cover the United States.
The Cuban Missile Crisis in history has come.
The United States surrounded the Soviet Union with bomber bases and missiles. The US missiles in Turkey, Italy, and West Germany were all aimed at the Soviet Union. The important industrial centers of the Soviet Union were under the direct threat of nuclear bombs and strategic bombers. In order to confront the United States, the Soviet Union in Cuba has deployed nuclear missiles with a range of 1,000 miles and a small range of 1,500 to 2,000 miles, directly threatening the United States.
It was discovered by two U2 U.S. aircraft, and the eventual outbreak almost destroyed the Cuban missile crisis worldwide.
The United States will never allow its own flower garden to catch fire, and it must not allow other countries to set up missile bases in their back gardens, threatening the security of the United States.
The Cold War period is and now is also.
The United States has drawn a red line in its back garden, who did it and who was overthrown.
Support the opposition or directly send troops to intervene.
For example, the most famous one is the Pig Bay incident. The United States directly sent more than 1,000 mercenaries to the Cuban Bay, in an attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow the new government of Fidel Castro with violence and help the pro-US government.
Although the Pig Bay incident ended in the failure of the US side, it indirectly illustrates the bottom line of the United States.
Therefore, Chen Rui wants to obtain the sovereignty of Tortuga Island, which is to obtain US support or the United States to take the default attitude toward Chen Rui island purchase.
The political position of Chen Rui and his country established on Tortuga Island is must be permanently neutral or pro-US.
Third, having a name is better than no name.
The use of welfare for the island residents to provide job opportunities, education, medical care, etc., allows the residents of the island to vote for the sovereignty of the government, and accept the rule of the country established by Chen Rui.
Of course, it's still a bit early to talk about these, as now he is just worth more than 1 Billion USD and can't talk about a dozen Billion USD island purchase fee, the fund for opposition government if fail, etc. It is estimated more than 30 Billion USD is required before he can attempt to buy the Tortuga Island sovereignty
