(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" and follow it now, and give more support to "From the Islander to the King"!) Second, Haiti because of Poverty, the education level is extremely backward, the urban adult illiteracy rate is 57%, and the rural area is as high as 85%, and the elites with higher education are only a very small number of people in Haiti.

Moreover, 75% of Haitians live in extreme poverty, unable to meet even the most basic food and clothing.

In the end, the total black population of Haiti accounts for 95%, and these people are all from Africa and have almost no concept of ethnicity.

Therefore, most Haitians have a very weak sense of nationality and sovereignty.

Third, after the communication channel is very weak, unlike in China, everyone can use the Internet, TV, media, newspapers and other very developed and comprehensive information systems. If a celebrity does something, hundreds of millions of people across the country will know it.

In Haiti, the means of dissemination are very limited, the most important one is through newspapers, and most Haitians are literate, do not know how to read, and have spare money to buy newspapers, and only a few elites can read newspapers.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Haitian government and government sold the island, and after a few years, less than half of the Haitians may know the news.

Fourth, since independence, Haiti has always been a military power and governance. Almost every president has ruled the country through dictatorship and dictatorship after he came to power. In this country, the will of the president is above everything else.

If the president can be persuaded through various conditions, the purchase of Tortuga may be a success.

Fifth, coups and changes in Haiti are very frequent. No other country in the world treats coups and changes as often as eating like Haiti.

From 1804, when Haiti gained independence and independence, dozens of successful coups and d'état broke out, overthrowing the previous regime and establishing a new dictatorship and dictatorship. There are countless unsuccessful regimes and changes.

For this reason, it becomes easier to persuade a dictatorial and dictatorial president, because he has obtained tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange at once, and he can use this money to make his subordinates more loyal, and he can also make hostile forces his own. Supporters, he can also use the money to benefit the Haitian people, . . . , to make his regime very strong.

Even if the current president does not agree to sell Tortuga, a billion dollars is enough to support the president's opposition to lead a successful coup in a small country like Haiti, and replace a president who agrees to sell Tortuga.

These factors make Chen Rui's purchase of Tortuga Island feasible.

But, after all, Tortuga Island is the sovereign territory of a sovereign country.

If Chen Rui wants to buy Tortuga Island, the operation process is very complicated and difficult, and there is a very high possibility of failure.

Chen Rui believes that at least a few conditions can be met before the island can be purchased successfully.

One, have a lot of money, tens of billions of dollars.

Tortuga Island covers an area of ​​180+ square kilometers, and 180+ square kilometers is a very large island.

The Fu and Tian districts in the city center of Shenzhen and Shenzhen have an area of ​​78.8 square kilometers. Tortuga Island is equivalent to 2.28 times that of the Fu and Tian districts. The population density of the Fu and Tian districts is 16,900/square kilometers. The island's 180 square kilometers can accommodate more than 3 million people.

Moreover, Tortuga Island is rich in freshwater resources, forests and mineral resources, and the fishery resources in the sea near Tortuga Island are also very rich.

The development value is very large.

As a result, Tortuga Island will cost between $15 billion and $22 billion.

Second, open Google Maps and take a look at the location of Tortuga Island, located in the hinterland of the Caribbean Sea, which is a very important location in the Caribbean Sea geographically.

During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Tortuga Island was the stronghold of Caribbean pirates. It was not until the 1640s that Tortuga Island weakened as a pirate center and was replaced by Port Royal on Jamaica Island.

Another important point is that it is located in the hinterland of the back garden of the United States, less than 1,000 kilometers away from Florida, the United States.

From a military point of view, internationally, the common practice for the range of missiles is that the range of short-range missiles is within 1000km, the range of medium-range missiles is 1000~3000km, the range of long-range missiles is 3000~8000km, and the range of intercontinental missiles is 3000~8000km. More than 8000km.

Set up a missile base on Tortuga Island, and short-range missiles that hit a little farther can hit the mainland of the United States. Long-range missiles and intercontinental missiles can almost cover the mainland of the United States.

The Cuban Missile Crisis in history is here.

The United States surrounded the Soviet Union with bomber bases and missiles. The United States’ missiles in Turkey, Italy and West Germany were aimed at the Soviet Union. The important industrial centers of the Soviet Union were under the direct threat of nuclear bombs and strategic bombers. Cuba has deployed nuclear missiles with a range of 1,000 miles and a few with a range of 1,500 to 2,000 miles, directly threatening the continental United States.

Spotted by two U.S. U2 planes, the Cuban Missile Crisis that nearly destroyed the world eventually broke out.

The United States will never allow its own backyard to catch fire, let alone allow other countries to set up missile bases in its own backyard, threatening the security of the United States.

It was during the Cold War, and it is now.

The United States has drawn a red line in its own back garden, and whoever does it will be overthrown.

Support the opposition or directly send troops to intervene.

For example, the most famous one is the Bay of Pigs incident. The United States directly sent more than 1,000 mercenaries to the Bay of Pigs in Cuba in an attempt to invade Cuba and overthrow the new government of Castro with violence and force, and support the pro-American government.

Although the Bay of Pigs incident ended with the failure of the United States, it indirectly illustrates the bottom line of the United States.

Therefore, if Chen Rui wants to obtain the sovereignty of Tortuga Island, he must obtain the support of the United States or the United States should take a tacit attitude towards Chen Rui's island purchase.

The political stance of Chen Rui and the country he established on Tortuga Island is permanently neutral.

Third, it is more advantageous to have a name than to have no name.

Taking advantage of the benefits of providing job opportunities, education, and medical care for the island residents, the island residents voted to leave the sovereign jurisdiction of the Haitian government and the government and accepted the rule of the country established by Chen Rui.
