[WP] It is being reported that a small impoverished nation has elected a child to be their new president. Leaders around the world are shocked as they watch the country rise to a global superpower.
First it was the small countries who child leader wooed. Kazakhstan, Armenia, Belarus and Uruguay all being seduced by this--kid. They were the ones who made the mistake of showing pity on the poor poverty-struck nation of Adden and by doing so donated millions of dollars in aid. The child leader... Not even big name politicians or any president could have done what this kid did, no one could have foreseen. They only laughed. He used the money to build roads stretching for miles across the country and his luck truly changed when a group of miners in the Amer district found large deposits of silicon and gold. Although it was kind of odd considering that not one of the 3 colonial powers controlling this region in the past 467 years gave two shits to exploring and exploiting the resources of the region, all they thought of the place was some kind of savage reserve and there was nothing worth seeing.
The child leader sent spies all over the world to relay any and all information about anything secret, be it experiments, new world orders, classified military devices and affairs of the famous politicians.
One spy brought back information detailing a device which could create earthquakes and tsunamis at will. Such information was dangerous but the child leader realised the potential of this device to his people.
11th May 2018
An earthquake measuring 7.2 on the richter scale struck the coastal capital city of Andheri, news reports and images of the tragedy came filling the internet and television. But they were only aerial shots-- none were of ground zero.
A few countries offered aid and the child leader asked for an aid package totaling half a million over the course of 5 years or 100 million a year.
But... why were there only aerial photos? Simple. Because despite the city crumbling, no one had actually died albeit a few dozen-- The ones who couldn't make it in time for re-location to the newly-built towns just and hour and a half away from the city.
Child leader had done the earthquake intentionally and evacuated his citizens quietly before the disaster. It was all a plan to get money for further development.
The West was fooled into thinking that the construction of the new towns were using their money. The only place their money went to is developing the country further and further and further.
Befriending the USA Earning the trust of India Wooing Russia
Getting nukes
All under friendly pre-text
A few decades later Child Leader leaked all the information his spies had gathered by paying large news corporations money they could only dream of. Scandals exposed. Government secrets exposed. Illuminati falsely confirmed. The public was shocked and outraged and the things their governments had one under the veil of secrecy.
Child Leader was the first one to put the blame. On the USA. It's always the USA, that's because they're a global superpower. Stocks fell, the economy crashed and while everyone else was crippling with recession. Adden bloomed churning out war supplies- weapons, artillery, tanks, ships, guns, mercenaries and an army that was massive but still small compared to the size of the average army.
Eventually, Child Leader declared all-out war on surrounding nations in Africa, using earthquakes and tsunamis to topple cities while massive armies marched onto their land. Slowly, bu steadily the tiny nation that was the size of Lesotho grew to the size of France.
The western nations were alarmed and forced Child Leader to give back the land and pay for the wars. They were just turned to dust bu massive earthquakes.
Washington, New York, London, Beijing and everyone who opposed were eradicated by earthquakes and tsunamis of biblical proportions. Eventually they surrendered and bowed down to Child Leader.
Child Leader took over the entirety of Africa and the Gulf peninsula and slowly itched into the Mediterranean.
No one could have foreseen this, then they laughed. Now they stare in awe as Child Leader's glorious achievements will forever be celebrated by his people and leave a mark on history,
As the child who led a nation.
