Chapter 1047: The Momentum of the Prairie Fire

Representatives from the United Nations District were also called, and the negotiations lasted for a whole afternoon, and a "NAC Free Trade Agreement with the United States" was finally issued, which made countless businessmen in the sixth district ecstatic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when it comes to free trade, there are actually some restrictions.

First of all, iron, aluminum, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum, and rare earths are "strategic materials" that are prohibited and will be punished as smugglers as soon as they are discovered. At this point, no matter how the representatives sent by the United Nations Region protested, Jiang Chen did not make the slightest concession.

Needless to say, iron, aluminum, and titanium, rare earths are the key to the production of high-tech weapons, from the optical components of laser guns to the acceleration rails of Type 50 electromagnetic guns. As for tungsten and molybdenum, one is one of the raw materials for smelting C-beams, and the other can be used to produce neural access devices.

In addition to the ban on the sale of strategic materials, Jiang Chen also imposed an additional 15 percent tariff on luxury goods in the United Nations District, which they had to pay as long as their goods entered the market in the sixth block. Although the tariff of 15 percent may not seem high in the present world, it is already high for the last days when materials are relatively scarce.

Oppose? It is useless to oppose either.

Commodities in the United Nations Region are not the only option for NAC, which has extensive trade routes from Yingzhou in the east to India in the west, and there are too many trading partners that can be used as substitutes.

However, there are no more options in the United Territory, and although they can find large survivor settlements in Fuzhou further south, the xenos and zombies along the way alone can make them despair. The extremely cold weather in the north is not suitable for the cultivation of mutant fruit trees, and the yield of nutrient mixtures cannot be supported by hunting alone, unless they waste all their already scarce ammunition on xenomorphs. Not only nutritional mixtures, but also a lot of things that are piled up in warehouses in Wanghai City, and they are all in short supply.

Opening up trade routes along the Yangtze River is their only option, unless they can get a large amount of helium to make airships, but this is obviously impossible, in the twenty-second century, helium is a scarce resource, and Jiang Chen can use this product as a luxury to fill "balloons".

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't leave them a way to live at all. He still allows merchants in the United Nations to come to the NAC to purchase supplies such as small arms bullets and laser gun batteries, but in order to prevent them from hoarding ammunition and making crooked minds, the amount of each purchase is strictly limited.

With the signing of the trade agreement, the two sides finally lowered the guns pointed at each other, and the peace that I don't know how long lasted finally came to the land ruled by the NAC.

At this point, all the things that Jiang Chen needed to deal with for this temporary return had finally been dealt with, and there was new news from the present world.

Although she was very reluctant, Sun Jiao finally let go of Jiang Chen, who was "squeezed dry", left a loving kiss on his lips, and watched him disappear into the room and travel back to the present world.

……

There's new news from the European side.

Since the rebels fired the first shot of the "Battle of the 7th Institute", they have declared war on the Petery government in the name of justice.

And in the past few days since Jiang Chen left, Ge. The beacon of life has burned all over Germany with the power of a prairie fire.

The worst state of Bavaria has even imposed state martial law, and Munich has ushered in a curfew for the first time in a year and a half. In line with the principle of winning the war, and running away if they can't win, the rebels used civilian vehicles and light weapons to fight mobile warfare against special police and regular troops in the cities, and fled into the mountains on the German-Austrian border in the face of encirclement and suppression, taking advantage of the terrain to fight guerrillas.

The main reason why these protesters have been able to make such a big storm is because of the high degree of integration of the European Union.

After several years of "efforts", according to the data published after 12 years of further disarmament, the entire German Army retained only three divisions, and the main battle tanks were from more than 2,500 to 230 tanks and 470 infantry vehicles. In addition to the fact that the air force is also capable of handling it, the size of the army is even less than that of a certain country's group army.

Although Petery has made a certain adjustment to the defense budget since he came to power, it is impossible for the hundreds of thousands of reservists to carry guns to fight the rebels because he gives the order. Germany has a conscription system, and the soldiers are all salaried volunteers. With Petri's current approval ratings, even if he is extremely strong in Germany. The right-wing forces still maintain considerable popularity, but with his vote in favor of EU integration, he is destined to be greeted with boos in his televised speech calling on Germans to take up arms against the "thugs" who call themselves the rebels.

At present, NATO has not sent troops to Germany, and when the treaty was signed, all countries did not consider the day when they would send troops to member countries to maintain stability.

After all, the state is not a private enterprise, and sending troops is not something that can be sent out with a pat on the head. However, this is also in line with Carmen's intentions, and the Arrow Company is in full swing with the help of the rebels. and strongly intervened in the upheaval that was taking place in Germany.

After Petri signed the decree that "in case of resistance, the rebels may be shot on the spot", protests and repression were pushed into the GAO tide, with bloodshed taking place in every corner of the city, and concrete walls smeared with fire. The blackness of the flask and the explosives, the bullet marks and cement shavings are like scars, like indelible contradictions.

It's hard to imagine this happening in a developed country, and although this day has been rehearsed countless times in games and films, no one really believed it.

Perhaps, this is also one of the cultures that the refugees brought with them.

……

In the early morning of May 21, Koro City Airport ushered in a special guest, escorted by four bodyguards, the old man with a hooked nose greeted Jiang Chen with a smile, opened his arms and gave a warm hug, and said with a smile after shaking hands vigorously.

"I had a hunch the last time I left, we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

"It's not too fast, the last time I saw you was at most forty years old." Looking at the old man's white temples, Jiang Chen smiled and teased, "Welcome, future Mr. Prime Minister." ”

"It's too early for the Prime Minister, and I'm a wretched man under the fence now." Although the tone in which he said this was very modest, Jiang Chen could still clearly perceive a bit of relief and relief from the warm smile on his face.

The bloodshed was not a cause for joy, but the fact that the Germans had finally taken up arms against their self-elected tyrant was no small step forward. More and more people joined the German People's Liberation Front, went abroad for military training and then returned to Germany, and the rebels achieved great results in Bavaria.

Evelyn had reason to believe that the day was not far off when he would end his government-in-exile status.

It is precisely because of this that he is qualified to represent the "new Federal Republic of Germany" and come to Koro City to talk to Jiang Chen about the future of Germany......
