The conscience of heaven and earth, Gu Kun did not know about the death of Charles Lee at all, nor did he care about it.
After all, this was not part of Gu Kun's plan. He had never thought about plotting against a foreign fishing tycoon, nor did he think that any fishing tycoon was qualified to be his opponent or to be carefully plotted by him.
Gu Kun is a super giant whose career spans N fields. He is very busy.
At this moment, he devoted more energy to the work of freeing and preventing slaves. Every day, he paid attention to the work of the "Yonghua" in cooperating with the Indonesian bandits in the Banda Sea, eliminating pirates and freeing slaves.
Some people may be surprised as to why Gu Kun has undergone such an abrupt change. Originally, he only used suppressing bandits and rescuing slaves as tools to gain reputation, but now he is suddenly willing to work harder.
This is also to blame for the fact that relevant people at the AFP suddenly tipped off Gu Kun about a piece of good news in recent days.
The news was conveyed through reporter Pierre. About a few days ago, Pierre made an international long-distance call to Gu Kun. The content was as follows:
"Dear Gu, please allow me to convey some good news about myself to you first. The president has told me that Jeanne and I are almost certain to win the next Pulitzer Prize. Memoirs of me and her in the past two years
, and other peripheral materials have also been sorted out and have been published by a publishing house. They are being printed urgently in the past two days and will be available at any time. I will send you a few copies by then."
Gu Kun was very pleased: "Congratulations, give me the French version of the manuscript, and I will help you publish the Chinese version and promote it in the Chinese-speaking world."
Pierre's tone was filled with gratitude: "You are so generous with your wealth and you are indeed one of the most noble people in the world. I have another good news about you.
You know, your previous behavior of rescuing slaves, and your subsequent efforts to withstand pressure from Indonesia and call on the Southeast Asian world to jointly solve the Indonesian slave problem. After Indonesia admitted its mistake, you took the initiative to assume international responsibilities that were not required of you, and sent troops to assist in suppressing bandits and rescuing them.
slave.
Such good deeds have attracted great attention from the international community. Many high-level officials in France who cooperate with the Norwegian Parliament are suggesting that you be urgently added to the nomination list for this year's Peace Bomb Award - if you can,
In the near future, it is best to use more force to assist Indonesia in suppressing bandits and rescuing slaves, and deploying more military assistance. This may help you win among several nominations.
You can see the official nomination news by watching the news today. The final decision will be made on the last Friday of October. Then it will be announced whether you can win the award, and the award ceremony will be in December.
10th."
To be honest, when Gu Kun first heard the news, he was really shocked.
"What? Is what I do so valuable? I mean is it worth such a significant reward?" He still didn't believe it. This was because he had never understood this before, and because of his Chinese ancestry,
Let him always have a bad impression of those judging committees.
But in fact, if you calm down and analyze it carefully, you will find that blood has little impact on the Peace Bomb Award. In recent years, that is, since the 1990s, black South Africans, South Asian locals in Pakistan, and leaders of certain Palestinian organizations have
Everyone has won the Peace Bomb Award, and it is not a monopoly of European and American Westerners.
Even the closest example to Gu Kun is that just four years ago, in 1996, the Peace Bomb Award that year was awarded to the leader of the National Liberation Front of East Timor because he suppressed East Timor's independence from Indonesia by force.
instead of pursuing a peaceful path, East Timor achieved democratic independence.
Therefore, the Peace Bomb Award is not that valuable. The Chinese world feels that it is difficult to win, mainly due to the ideological hostility of the West to the East. In other words, because Gu Kun is a Lebanese citizen rather than a Chinese citizen, his nationality is
Lanfang, and Lanfang is a capital-focused country, so ideological hostility barriers do not exist.
In the eyes of those judging committees, Gu Kun and the leader of the East Timor Democratic Organization were people of similar natural status.
Under this year's circumstances, there are no great competitors for the Peace Bomb Award. If there is no one to award it to, it will be awarded to a person who has practiced humanitarian medicine in Africa for decades and promoted the medical foundation in some of the least developed countries in Africa.
Facilities building for French doctors.
(Note: Because the history of this world is slightly affected by the butterfly effect, there have been some changes in the rhythm of Nanbang's response to the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, which incidentally has led to some changes in Nanbang's internal affairs and diplomacy. So it was originally supposed to be in June this year.
The completed "Joint Statement of North-South Baseball" was completed ahead of schedule last year.
So Commander Kim of Nanbang used last year’s quota for the Peace Bomb Award. The nomination of the French doctor who was supposed to win the award in 1999 was pushed to this year. What everyone can’t understand is a mysterious force from the East.
It has promoted this butterfly effect. As for those who want to understand the specific impact of the "Joint Statement of the North-South Baseball League" that originally occurred in 2000, you can read the relevant parts of the free public chapter of "The Savior of Entertainment".)
Over the years, when there are no war issues that require mediation, it has become normal for awards to be given to people and organizations engaged in humanitarian undertakings. Committees such as the Red Cross and the Red Moon, the United Nations Children's Fund, and the Office of Refugee Affairs... all receive awards.
If you are a regular visitor more than once, if you have nothing to win this year, pick one of them to win the award.
Can Gu Kun still be able to defeat the French doctor who organized aid to Africa?
Therefore, facing Gu Kun's shock, Pierre felt that it was a bit natural and there was nothing to be shocked about:
"What? Do you think your achievements are not enough? Then you are too humble. I can only say that you do not have a full understanding of the significance of what you have done. This is really a big sound, but an invisible elephant.
.
You should think this way: It is now the turn of the century. Since the disintegration of the evil Lucia, the economic globalization promoted by Oceania has been pushed forward for eight years. I heard that China is expected to join the WTO.
When the world fully embraces the dividends of globalization and enters the new century, it is you who sound the clarion call to resolve the last link of the slave production method in the globalized international trade industry chain. You have not only saved so many people, but also exposed
He learned the truth and urged the common improvement of the minimum level of labor security for all mankind. This is definitely worthy of a Peace Bomb Award."
Gu Kun listened and touched his beard, feeling that such an interpretation was not too much.
As mentioned before, fishery is the industry in the world that is most prone to "laborers from countries with high human quality standards being underpaid by slave labor from countries with low security". Just because the sea has no borders, foreign ships can come over at any time to operate in the ocean.
Don’t you think that in future generations, Chile and Argentina have done such a good job in labor protection, but it is useless. The fishermen in Chile and Argentina will either still endure the slavery method that is actually below the legal limit of their country, or they will be unemployed. Because if the Argentine and Chilean fishermen are serious, their
The jobs will be taken away by Rong Rong fishing boats that cross the entire Pacific to snatch the jobs.
The problem of remaining fishermen slaves in Indonesia is not just a problem for Indonesia, or even a problem for the Southeast Asian world, but a problem for the whole world. Slavery exists in the international fishery trade, and it lowers the minimum guarantee for fishermen of all mankind.
Therefore, Gu Kun's feat was not only to relieve the defense of the Lanfang people or the Burmese and Cambodians who were trafficked by Indonesian slave owners, but also to fight for the fishermen of all mankind.
Once it reaches this height, is there any problem with the Bomb Award? None of the winners in previous years have made as much contribution to the humanitarian attention of all mankind as this.
Speaking of this, Gu Kun no longer had any doubts about "Who else would you rather me?", but he still had some doubts about the timeliness: "Pierre, thank you for your explanation, but I still have some doubts.
I just made a righteous act at the beginning of this month. Is it too soon to be nominated now? Is it possible to do this?"
Pierre didn't feel happy at all and said matter-of-factly: "What's the problem with this? Peace issues should be about hating evil and rewarding good. The Peace Bomb Award is almost always awarded to current events within one or two years. If there are significant enough
Priority will be given to current affairs. If there are no current affairs in the current year, we will choose from those sustainable undertakings that have served for decades.
Last year, the head of the Nanbang National Finance Bureau did not sign a peace treaty and get the award in the blink of an eye. And there were many young people who won the award in previous years. This award is different from those scientific awards. It does not need to wait for scientific contributions to be proven, but also has a great impact on the world.
Awards will be given only when human technological progress is truly effective."
A few years later, a teenage girl in Pakistan won the award. It was because that girl participated in the struggle for Pakistani women’s equal rights to education, and she won the award even though she was a minor.
Gu Kun's age and the timeliness of his deeds do not seem to be problems.
…
It was precisely after receiving such heavy news from Pierre and the top brass of AFP that Gu Kun's enthusiasm for the great cause of suppressing bandits and rescuing slaves made him move to a higher level.
Gu Kun is now in a situation where the relationship with the Brittany and the Australians is already relatively tense, but the relationship with Oceania has not yet officially fallen out, which is more subtle.
However, as long as Gu Kun continues to rise and reveals his true nature on Nanyang issues, when Oceania "returns to the Asia-Pacific" in the future, the days when Gu Kun will be displeased will come sooner or later.
Therefore, taking advantage of the window period of these few years, it is always better to add more international prestige to yourself, and to add more gold medals for immunity from death and immortality.
In comparison, if a destroyer and several coast guard boats go out to perform some tasks and consume more ammunition, fuel and consumables, what does it mean?
Calculate that your 130mm naval gun shells cost tens of thousands per round. If you fire 300 rounds at a time, it will cost you thousands. Expensive missiles are basically useless against pirates. All they use are cheap consumables. All in all, a destroyer will execute
A mission that uses up all the supplies on the ship except for missiles, plus personnel salaries, incentives, and medical subsidies, will not exceed 50 million yuan.
For Gu Kun, the cost of an operation of 50 million is just for training. Compared with the income from intangible assets, these expenditures are nothing.
