Chapter 506 Warning
Interestingly, most refugees arriving in Europe arrive via the Mediterranean, and their first stop is often countries such as Greece, Italy, France and Spain.
France passed the English Channel, dragged Britain into the water, and also "exported" illegal immigrants to Britain.
Now Britain has no choice but to cooperate with France to transport these illegal immigrants via the Atlantic Ocean to further West Africa...
I believe these immigrants would never have imagined that after they had gone through all their efforts from North Africa and the Middle East via the Mediterranean to England and France, they would instead be "resettled" to Colo and Benin, where conditions were even worse...
But Barron doesn't want Colo to set aside a part of the area to receive refugees. After all, judging from Colo's map, their coastline is not very long. It would naturally not be very disturbing if they have to set aside an area to accommodate illegal immigrants. Things that make people happy.
If Colo is still an underdeveloped country and very poor as before, then it may still be willing to do this for the "resettlement" fees paid by the United Kingdom and France.
But now that oil revenue is available, changes are already underway in Kolo.
The final result is that Benin has set aside an area near Ouidah Port, which will be used as a resettlement place for refugees from Britain and France.
This area is adjacent to Kolo and will be managed by both Kolo and Benin - Benin will be able to receive a higher proportion of the refugee resettlement costs as their "land rent".
As for those refugees, that is, illegal immigrants, both Kolo and Benin allow them to apply for long-term residency and even nationality in both countries, but they will review these applications and make selections.
As refugees, their lives in the resettlement area will be guaranteed to a certain extent - the UK and France will provide funding to provide some drinking water, food, basic medical care and other conditions to the resettlement area.
Because the resettlement area is in Benin, it will be mainly managed by Benin on a day-to-day basis. Colo will mainly defend its own borders. In addition, it will accept and review applications for residence and naturalization from refugees.
In fact, because the level of education in Kolo was too low before, many of these refugees are already considered highly qualified compared with the locals in Kolo.
Of course, the personal freedom of the refugees will not be restricted. They can leave the resettlement place freely. However, illegal immigrants who have not passed the residency or nationality of the two countries are not allowed to stay in the two countries after leaving the resettlement area. stay.
Therefore, those who are completely poor will hardly have any capital to pay for the smuggling fees. Many refugees are middle-income people from war-torn countries. They all have their own skills or can endure hardships and stand hard work. Many of them are middle-income people from war-torn countries. Everyone has received a relatively good education.
The assessment of the management of the resettlement area will also be a reference for the investment quota of Britain and France in the next year.
Although Kolo has been insisting on compulsory education for all since the establishment of the new government, it will still take several years for these people to grow up to the age of nation building.
In fact, the difference in the impressions of some people is that not all of the refugees arriving in Europe, or in other words, the proportion of extremely poor people among them is not high.
After all, for things like smuggling, you definitely can't do it yourself. You need to pay the "smuggler" and let them arrange the smuggling.
Of course, how far it can go after collecting the money depends on the two countries of Kolo and Benin - in fact, it mainly depends on Benin.
As for the issue of the excessive proportion of Islamic believers among refugees that many European countries are concerned about, the people of Kolo have a variety of beliefs, including native religions, Christianity, and Islam. As long as they are properly controlled, they will not overdo it. worried.
It is these people that Barron is looking for - screening and adding these people to Kolo will also help fill in some of the technical and high-quality talents that Kolo lacks due to development.
In addition, in the management of the resettlement area, the United Kingdom, France and Colo will send observers to supervise the resettlement area to avoid humanitarian disasters.
In other words, if they still have enough perseverance, they can return to North Africa or the Middle East from West Africa, or even continue to smuggle to Europe...
The reason why Barron is willing to promote this matter is that he takes a fancy to some of the refugees.
Next, the Protector Security Company established a coastal security team - the Beluga Group, who will be hired by the British government to deport and resettle illegal immigrants.
The White Whale Group purchased some speedboats and other equipment that were about to be retired by the British Navy at relatively low prices. In terms of intelligence, they also received support from the British Navy and began to crack down on illegal immigrants.

When Walter Assad opened his eyes, he could already see the sunlight coming through the curtains in the bedroom, and he secretly estimated that the time at this time should be around seven in the morning...
"You should hurry up, otherwise you will be late."
While thinking this, Walter Essad stood up, picked up the mobile phone beside the bed, and looked at the time. Sure enough, it was 7:05.
But the next moment, Walter Assad was stunned, his eyes fixed on the bedside table, where there was a bulging-looking cowhide envelope.
He felt the hairs on his body stand up and broke into a cold sweat.
Although he said he had a drink before going to bed last night, Walter Essad remembered clearly that there was no such envelope on his bedside table before he went to bed.
what does this mean? !
Thinking of this, Walter Asad felt panic in his heart.
He opened the envelope and poured out the contents, which were a piece of white paper, a photo, and a bundle of banknotes that looked different from old to new.
First, pick up the white paper. There is just a printed sentence on it:
"Please put aside your curiosity."
When he saw another photo, Walter Essad felt excited. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number:
"Nina, is she at home?"
"Walter, why do you ask this? It's not time for you to visit your daughter yet, and today is Nina's school day. I'm about to send her to school..."
Walter divorced his wife - the woman on the phone - three years ago. After hearing the other party's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.
That pile of banknotes contained a full 5000 pounds, equivalent to his income for two months.
Suddenly thinking of something, Walter went to the living room and found his camera. Sure enough, the film in the camera, including some of the films he had shot before, were gone.
And in his own home, he couldn't see any trace of anyone breaking in. The other party was definitely a master at this.
Walt understands that this is a warning!
Yes, Walter Assad is a reporter. He has recently been secretly stalking Joe Harriman, the well-known beauty presenter on ITV and the female MP for Islington, a new political star. red man.
Because based on intuition, Walter Essad believed that behind this woman, there must be valuable news material. A beautiful woman, a beautiful host, and a potential political newcomer, maybe he would be able to get it. What big news, he has become famous since then.
But what happened today forced Walter Essad to consider whether he should continue like this. Not only had all the negatives he had taken of the other party been taken away, but also he could enter so silently. Going to his own home and putting the envelope on his bedside... these things are too scary.
Obviously, what was in the envelope was a warning to him.
Either take that money and choose to shut up and stop stalking Joe Harriman, or he, and even his daughter, will be in danger...
……
"Your Highness the Duke, the matter has been resolved. I will continue to pay attention to him..."
After hanging up the phone, Mikhail had a relaxed smile on his face.
Well, hopefully he's a smart guy.
