Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 446

  Chapter 446 Coast Guard

  After the Queen’s New Year’s Speech, the new year came, and Cagliari specially held a grand fireworks display ceremony to celebrate the kingdom’s first New Year. The firing site is on the coast. The spacious streets on both sides of the original city hall were full of people and lively that night.

An Feng and Joanna also watched the fireworks ceremony at the castle of St. Remy in the distance. They said it was a castle, but in fact it was more of a huge open-air platform on a high place. Standing on it, you can overlook Cagliari and the distant The coast is a good choice for viewing.

  They dispatched in a low-key manner, but the extraordinary lineup was still recognized by the watching crowd.

  The bodyguards and the police are on standby, always following around the Queen’s family. Considering safety, they had to leave after a short stay, but they also allowed the audience to get in close contact with her. They also heard her New Year greetings in Italian, and the crowd cheered constantly.

   Sometimes it’s not good to be too popular, you will be recognized wherever you go. Alice complained that she only watched the fireworks for a few minutes. In order to make up for her, they asked the car to drive slowly along the coastal road, and let Alice and Fred cheer and watch for a long time through the window before leaving.

  …

  After the New Year, the Christmas holidays in the West are coming to an end.

  Anfeng’s second batch of goods will be delivered by transport plane, this time from Australia. In the dismantled base, the more expensive 3D printers and highly simulated robots are all transported by air. The semi-finished products and robots are delivered by freighter after dismantling.

  Two freighters with a full load of 200,000 tons travel nearly 20,000 kilometers from Australia to the Mediterranean Sea, so they can only wait slowly.

But all the important goods have arrived. Advanced robots, three 3D printers, and hundreds of sets of expensive multi-purpose printing nozzles cost 1.5 billion US dollars alone. This shows how much Anfeng has invested in preventing doomsday over the years. , but ended up being useless.

  After the goods arrived, Eve remotely controlled hundreds of robots through the satellite network. They are like humans—more flexible and efficient than humans. A little bit of perfection for a brand new base. Including the assembly of the printer, and the editing of the construction program behind.

  Eve is studying architecture, she wants to control the printer, and perfectly put the architectural designer’s plan into reality through the dexterous machine.

  …

  After the 5th, people’s desire to play will be withdrawn, and work will continue.

  The two children also have to return to the United States to study. The local schools speak Italian, but the new school has been listed as a plan, which is obviously specially prepared. The main language is English. The official languages ​​determined by the country are English, Italian and Sardinian, with English and Italian listed as commonly used.

   In the few days left, the family will have a holiday and go to play by car.

  There are no bodyguards and entourage this time, just a family of four, an ordinary Maserati…it shouldn’t be too ordinary. They set off from Cagliari to the neighboring province of Carbonia-Iglesias. The name sounds a bit Spanish, but the local area is actually influenced by Spanish culture.

  The place they are more familiar with is the northern coast of Sardinia. They don’t know much about the southwestern area, but they heard that the coast is a concentration point for sailboats and yachts, and the former Spanish king also liked sailing vacations. When you have free time, take your children for a walk and experience the humanities of various places.

Talking and laughing all the way, driving slowly through the local area, all you can appreciate on the road is the scenery of the old European city. There is a peaceful atmosphere in the vicissitudes of life. Like European cities with few tourists, the residents live a leisurely and relaxed life. The pace of life Slow and very simple.

  Thrill-seeking young people may find it monotonous and dull, but for families who want to live in peace and couples who are passionately in love, it is a dreamland. Two adults wearing sunglasses, holding their children, strolled on the paved stone road in the city, and the children’s silver bell-like laughter echoed in the alleys.

  People on bicycles pass by, occasionally smiling kindly at children.

   “Hi!” Alice waved to the people coming and going.

  Everyone also smiled and waved at the little girl. For a while, they couldn’t recognize the two parents beside them as their queen and duke from their low-key attire. It’s no wonder that celebrities often come here for vacation, and people are used to not thinking about what looks behind the sunglasses.

   “There is a light ahead!” Alice pointed to the front, and then ran over, “It’s so beautiful!”

   “Come on, Fred!” She waved to her brother.

  Fred, who is almost four years old, has grown a lot, and there is no need for adults to worry about it. He ran forward with his little feet, and followed his sister back on tiptoe, overlooking the beautiful sea view that can be seen halfway up the mountain. As the setting sun sets, the scene of the afterglow of the setting sun, the sun is just covered by the clouds, and the face is still half covered by the pipa, which is really beautiful.

  This scene is very artistic… No wonder Italy is the cradle of artists, and it seems that the environment is also affecting it all the time.

  …

  After playing enough with the children on the mountain, go down the mountain from the other side. At the request of Joanna, I picked a cobblestone alley to experience the narrow alleys and the occasional sea breeze. The two children were walking and playing in front of them, An Feng held her hand, and walked in the alley with his fingers intertwined.

  The road down the mountain leads to a small coastal park, next to the yacht marina.

  The pier is full of yachts and sailing boats, ranging from small to luxurious. It seems that there are still many rich people on the island, and tools to enjoy life abound. When walking to the shore of the pier, Fred pointed forward: “Dad, what is that?”

  An Feng looked up, and the sharp-eyed child saw the flashing police lights in the distance.

   “The speedboat of the Coast Guard.” An Feng explained, “The police are on duty!”

  A yacht, escorted by two red and blue flashing speedboats, came here to dock. Looking at the words on the speedboat, it is the Coast Guard—they are the country’s maritime police, adapted from the police, and trained to supplement the country’s lack of military force to prevent illegal border crossings and other things.

  As a new sovereign country, Sardinia has issued new passports for its citizens, and established entry and exit customs one by one. There are currently five entry and exit checkpoints. Those who enter through other channels will be regarded as illegal entry. The country does not yet have an army, but a coast guard has been established.

   The guards are trained by Aegis Security Contractors, who select elites directly from the police force.

This is something that can’t be helped. The Coast Guard was originally supposed to be a paramilitary organization, but because this country lacks everything in terms of force, and the army has no hairs, it can only be second-best and select outstanding personnel from the police. While training, while operating in the field.

  The yacht docked and stopped, one speedboat docked, and the other speedboat was still moving around, keeping vigilance.

  The police were very smart. They did not let the two speedboats dock, and they were careful not to leave a gap.

  Although this is just an ordinary cross-border tourist, an attitude must be present.

  After the cruise ship docked, a dozen white men and women got off the ship, most of them were wearing swimsuits, they looked overly excited, and there was a smell of alcohol from a distance. A few sober guys said they spoke Spanish. The five police officers on the shore stepped forward and asked them to stand in a row.

  The police are questioning them about their passports in English.

  Currently going out and coming in is a bit of a hassle—a visa is required. The Sardinian government is striving to implement a mutual visa-free policy with countries that have established diplomatic relations. Currently, the visa-free countries include Italy, France and Switzerland. Other countries still need to complete diplomatic dialogues after establishing diplomatic relations.

  The mutual visa-free agreement is relatively easy, because Sardinia has a small population and is a developed country.

If it is a country with a large population and a large gap between the rich and the poor, more factors need to be considered for mutual visa exemption between the two countries, but Sardinia has a population of 1.5 million, and the residents are naturally indifferent. Coupled with the prestige of the royal family, many countries To save face, they readily signed the mutual visa-free policy.

But from the establishment of the country to the present, it has only been more than two months, and there is still Christmas in the middle. It is already efficient to be able to sign visa-free agreements with three countries. These cross-border tourists are obviously from Spain. Currently, Sardinia Nigeria has not yet established diplomatic relations with Spain, although arrangements are already underway.

  The police also understand the national conditions and patiently persuade them, but because of language problems, communication between the two parties is a bit troublesome.

   Listening to what the other party said, I don’t understand why I could come in freely before, but not now. The police are trying to explain and looking for police support who can speak Spanish. The family watched from a distance and did not step forward. The royal family meddled to lose value and had no rights.

  An Feng wanted to see how the police dealt with it.

These big policemen are very patient and polite. Even though the other party is a little bit inclined to abuse, they always think that they are awesome by drinking—but soon, the police did not disappoint An Feng, who dared to provoke the law enforcement officers again and again. They were all knocked down on the spot and greeted with handcuffs.

   Several other policemen who came ashore put their hands on the holsters.

  After a few thorns were handcuffed on the ground with their backhands, the others were quiet and cooperated with the coast guard’s work obediently.

An Feng is very satisfied. He thinks that the police should be like this. Law enforcement officers must have the decisiveness of law enforcement officers. At the beginning, these policemen were very polite. American police work style.

   Aegis Security comes from the United States, so naturally the local police are trained in this way.

   An Feng didn’t see how to deal with it later. The local police support arrived and would follow the procedures. But at present, the charges will not be counted as illegal crossing of the border. After all, the country has only been established for three months, and I am not used to and do not understand normality. After a period of time, I will strictly enforce the law.

  …

   After a few days off, they return to Cagliari.

  Joanna is particularly concerned about the construction of national law enforcement and military forces.

The Ministry of National Defense will respond as soon as possible. The current recruitment advertisement has been issued. It is planned to recruit 2,000 soldiers in the first phase. According to the population of 1.5 million, 20,000 soldiers are more appropriate, but refer to financial and An Feng’s considerations , just maintain this base first, and consider it later.

At present, there are few military resources that the country can use, so there are a lot of vacancies here. Basically, they are nominated by each other for temporary appointments. Guli, who is about to be naturalized, may be a member of the temporary military decision-making committee and also serve as a member of the military. official position.

  The prime minister also recommends some citizens for positions in the army.

An Feng has no objection, and the temporary appointment will be adjusted later. However, the military training institutions must be contracted to foreign institutions. He can trust Aegis Security. Whether it is quality or ability, most of this group has a background in the U.S. military. Veterans, the quality is absolutely qualified.

   As for more, An Feng doesn’t think about it for now.

He entrusts defense tasks to robots. As for flesh-and-blood people, they are more often used to deal with small conflicts or support the table. Compared with soldiers, he prefers armed police—such as the Coast Guard, which can be regarded as “military police”, which can be The army, and possibly the police, dual purpose.

   In fact, Sardinia, a small country, will not have any foreign aggression. The army will be idle more often, and there is nothing to train to consume physical strength. In contrast, armed police are more useful, ranging from small domestic frictions to possible major cases.
