When African leaders returned home, they immediately held a meeting to discuss the issue. People still agreed to sell the desert to the Williams empire.

    If there is no oil in the desert, it is really useless to the country. On the contrary, it is a "disaster"!

    There are mountains, water, forests and all kinds of animals in Alaska. However, the Soviet Union didn''t want to buy Alaska because of its bad environment, so it sold it to the United States. At that time, the United States even didn''t want to buy it. The environment of desert is dozens of times worse than that of Alaska. It is one of the most unsuitable places for living creatures on the earth. It is extremely deficient in resources!

    The desert is the real poverty.

    Isn''t it stupid that others are willing to buy desert and they don''t sell it quickly?

    After discussion, basically all the countries joining the "Wei Yuan" system are willing to sell the desert. Before May 1, world leaders called Henry one after another. Henry then ordered people to count the area and location of deserts. Many deserts they sold to Williams Empire were East and West, not even one. Henry, of course, hoped that the desert he bought was a whole piece, which was convenient for management. So they sent people to visit various countries to get more land. At the same time, Henry sent people to carry out a detailed survey of the topography of various countries, in order to determine the location of the pipeline and railway construction.

    There are three main deserts in Africa: the Sahara desert is located in the north of Africa, the Namib Desert and the Kalahari desert are located in the south of Africa, covering an area of 9.06 million square kilometers, 50000 square kilometers and 630000 square kilometers respectively. After discussion, Williams Empire bought about 4.853 million square kilometers of Sahara desert from Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan and other countries, and then bought part of mibe desert and Kalahari desert. Together, it bought nearly 5 million square kilometers of desert!

    The price of desert is very cheap. To buy these lands, the Williams Empire spent a total of 1 trillion US dollars, that is, 2 billion US dollars to buy an average of 10000 square kilometers. In the future, these desert lands will belong to the territory of the Williams empire! In addition, the construction of pipelines, railways and other projects is expected to cost about 300 billion US dollars! But the operation right of the railway belongs to the Williams Empire, and the unearthed land of the local country can enjoy 30% of the income!

    On June 1, Henry signed a formal agreement with African countries at Williams palace, and then held a press conference to publicly announce the matter.

    The news shocked the whole world!!!

    First of all, I am surprised that Williams Empire has bought 5 million square kilometers of desert land, and the territory area has soared!!!

    Previously, the Williams Empire successively annexed parts of the territory of Madagascar, Comoros, Socotra, Somalia, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, establishing a huge empire with an area of more than 2.1 million square kilometers! Today, nearly 5 million square kilometers of desert land have become its territory, adding up to more than 7.1 million square kilometers.

    Previously, the list of national land area in the world was as follows:

    The first is Russia, 17.075 million square kilometers.

    The second is Canada, with an area of 9.971 million square kilometers.

    The third is China, with an area of 9.61 million square kilometers.

    The fourth is the United States, with an area of 9.364 million square kilometers.

    The fifth is Brazil, with an area of 8.547 million square kilometers.

    The sixth is Australia, with an area of 7.741 million square kilometers.

    The seventh is India, with an area of 3.288 million square kilometers.

    Now, the territory area of Williams Empire has become more than 7.1 million square kilometers, surpassing India and ranking seventh!

    Netizens said with a smile: "it seems that Australia is going to be unable to sit down, and will soon be defeated by the Williams empire!"

    "Ha ha, Australia, pick up soap quickly!"

    Another netizen could not help but sigh: "I''ll go. In just a few years, the Williams Empire has become so awesome! Henry Williams is really the first legend in history

    "The Williams empire is too strong. If someone says that the Williams empire will unify Africa in the future, now I''m a little convinced!"

    At the moment, the front page headlines of the major media are all reporting this.

    Second, people were surprised at the wealth of the Williams empire.

    You can buy one trillion dollars without frowning. Who dares to buy so much desert! And the $1 trillion is just money for land purchase. Will the cost of reconstruction be less? This TM is the real local tyrant!!!

    People were stunned!

    At this time when the global financial crisis is the craziest, it is incredible that Williams Empire should be so rich. Governments and enterprises all over the world have asked for loans from Williams empire.

    Every day, there were phone calls, and even a lot of people came directly to the door. Henry was so bored that he refused.

    Want a loan? Loan your sister!!!

    Henry thought, I''m not a philanthropist. I''ll give you a loan at this time? What''s more, the more the stock market falls, the more I earn! I spend money to buy the desert, and then transform the desert. Don''t I have to spend money?

    After Henry bought a large number of deserts, gene umbrella company immediately set up "marine plant genetic engineering project" to cultivate salt tolerant plants. Monsanto has done a lot of research on transgenic plants, so it must not be a problem. Henry hoped to develop a kind of plant that could completely absorb the sea water, including the salt in the sea water. Otherwise, the desert would become saline land, which is not good. A large number of plants are planted in the desert. The transpiration of plants releases water. If there is more water, it is easy to form rainfall, and then there is fresh water in the desert!

    In this way, in the future, the desert is no longer a desert, it can be inhabited, and cities can be built.

    In addition, desert is similar to Mars to a certain extent, and the transformation of desert environment is actually the accumulation of experience in the transformation of Mars environment. In the next step, the Williams empire will establish a stronghold in Antarctica, accumulating experience on the one hand, and "occupying" Antarctica in disguised form on the other. However, in a short period of time, Henry''s "hands-on" probability of Antarctica is very low. After all, the Williams Empire has just bought so many deserts, which has made all countries in the world fear it. At this moment, the Williams Empire should not be too arrogant.

    As the saying goes, low key is king. Henry even cancelled the military parade of Williams empire on May 1, and he planned to send flying saucers, which shocked the whole world

    Henry thought, or dormant for a few years, such as military forces to catch up with the United States, at that time, arrogance also has the capital of arrogance!!!

    At the moment, the army of Williams Empire has reached about 1.25 million, and the annual military expenditure in 2007 was as high as 800 billion US dollars, ranking the first in the world. However, this kind of thing is just a dull development, and there is nothing to show off. In 2007, the GDP of the Williams Empire reached $8.95 trillion, which is nothing. Henry is very satisfied with the increase of population. So far, the number of citizens with Williams imperial nationality has reached 543 million, far more than that of the United States!!!
