Chapter 651: Tough Counterattack
Five minutes later, the president's secretary came to the president's side and whispered, "Mr. Brick called." β
"Mr. Brick?" The president blinked, "Give me the phone." β
Brick is a member of the Hal consortium and has a lot of money to invest in the banking industry. He has participated in several banks in Xizhou (Africa) and is the majority shareholder of Maori National Bank.
When Mr. President was running for president, he begged Brick for a lot of sponsorship. In fact, when the financial resources reach the level of the Hal Consortium, they will definitely sponsor every popular candidate before the election, so that whoever comes to power will be an old friend of the Hal Consortium.
Now that an old friend is calling, how dare the president slack off? Even if he is about to step down, he may have to ask the Hal Consortium to sponsor him in the future!
"Your Excellency, I have heard that something very distressing has happened in the country of Maori, where two of our experts have been killed!" Brick said sadly.
To be sure, the Maori Nation Tree Bank didn't even earn a pocket money in Brick's eyes, and accepting it was just a way for the Hal consortium to show more influence in Xizhou. If it weren't for the reminder from the people below, he wouldn't even know that there was such a bank under his name.
But as soon as the people below reminded him, Brick immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
No matter how small the mosquito rainbow is, it is also meat, and no matter how poor the Maori country is, it is also a seedling line!
Qin Xing, who belongs to the Hal consortium, said that he was robbed by others, and even the experts who worked under him were killed, who else would dare to go on a business trip to Xizhou in the future? Who else can take care of Xizhou's business for him?
Even if someone is willing to go, I'm afraid they will have to ask for double their salary!
What's even more terrifying is that if other countries follow the same example and rob the banks one by one, won't the 10 billion assets of the Har consortium in Xizhou be turned into nothing?
Blast furnace people can't be bullied like this!
He must ask the president for an explanation!
"Mr. Brick, I am deeply sorry for what has happened in the Maori State. Since last year, I have been paying close attention to the whole issue of the people of the Maori country, and the United Nations has also made resolutions on related issues, and we have always wanted to solve the problem through dialogue and consultation. β
"Your Excellency President, I'm here to ask for an explanation, not to listen to your complaints!" Brick was upset.
"I understand that I am convening a meeting of the Cabinet and that the situation in Maori has reached a point where it cannot be left unaddressed. The meaning of the existence of the Blast Furnace Country is to ensure the safety of the residents of the Blast Furnace Country and their assets! β
Having finally sent Brick away, the president immediately rushed to the location of the cabinet meeting. When the secretary helped him push open the door of the conference room, the chief and all the elders were already seated at this time, and they all nodded to him.
The president came to the throne and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, to make a long story short, everyone has heard about the Maori country, right?" This is a harrowing incident, and we must not sit idly by! I was also on the phone just now, and I told him it was time to act. What are your thoughts? β
Montbul, the treasurer and public account, was the first to raise his hand: "Your Excellency, I propose that military action be launched immediately against the Maori State, preferably by air strikes, so that it is not easy to cause casualties and at the same time to give them considerable deterrence." It won't be long before the people of Maori will spontaneously take action to overthrow Mem's monopolistic rule! β
No one was surprised by the idea of a main battle in Montbul. This guy was born in the Nelong family, and the Nelong family is in the arms business, especially the auxiliary equipment related to fighter jets, which is well-known all over the world. Ever since this kid became the chief, he has been thinking about the procurement of the main house. Now there is a battle to fight, and it would be strange not to cheer long live.
Most people ignored the arms dealer, but the chief lithium Alphonse quipped: "Montbul, if there is really a fight, can your company sponsor a batch of weapons for free from us?" β
Montbul's eyes widened and he said, "God, our company has been losing money!" Do you know how difficult it is to do the arms business in peacetime? If it weren't for the fact that several countries in Xizhou were still at war, our company would have gone out of business. Of course, I will not sit idly by when I encounter this kind of thing, I can sell fighter armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing high-energy bombs, and armor-piercing high-energy self-infuse bombs for air strikes at a discount! β
"You save it, I remember that you sell it to foreign countries at a 7% discount!" The defense chief disdainfully said authentically.
Montbul said: "Your news is too old, and now the price has risen." β
"Is last month's news old?"
"You said it was last month, can it be the same? Now, but we're going to war! β
"Ahem!" Chief Lithium Alphonse coughed twice, "Chief Montbull, I want to remind you that we are not at war yet, so you don't have to be in such a hurry to raise prices. β
Montbul smiled and said, "Won't it start soon?" β
Alphonse said, "In fact, I'm also willing to help your family fulfill the order. However, Huaxia has more than 100,000 troops stationed in Maori, and if we rush into war, the result is likely to be unfavorable to us. You know, it's just a small Maori country, and if we win, that's what we should do, but if we fail, the people will never forgive us! β
"Huaxia has stationed 100,000 troops? Are they crazy? The health chief, who has never cared about foreign countries, was surprised.
"They weren't crazy, but they were premeditated," the president said. Otherwise, how could a small Maori issue be dragged on until now? β
"If it weren't for that damn group of birch summer bodyguards, we would have sent a team to capture Mem." β
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development said: "Although Huaxia has 100,000 troops, I don't think they will clash with us head-on. The crux of the matter is whether we have the determination to take the Maori country! Do you remember the Guba Missile Crisis? The reason why Sam Guo won was because his attitude was more resolute than Luo Guo! β
The president nodded, "I think your words make sense." If we blockade the port and cut off the supply of those 100,000 people, they will not last long. Besides, the Huaxia people are going in the name of mercenaries, they are not prepared, and it is impossible for them to fight a tough battle with us! β
The Minister of National Defense smiled: "What if it is really a tough battle? Maori is not a fresh day, and it is separated from Huaxia half a world. Huaxia has no military bases overseas, and there are not even a few aircraft carriers, if they dare to come to Xizhou to meet us, then be ready to die in Qiu Yaoyang, we will never let them return empty-handed! β
Montbul said: "In that case, let's vote by a show of hands." If the Maori State dares to confiscate the Maori Banks in which we have a controlling stake, it dares to confiscate our other property in the country, it dares to kill the bank's advisers, and it dares to kill other blast furnace people in the Maori State. Mr. Brick has expressed his displeasure to the president, what are we waiting for? β
Chief Lithium Alphonse glanced at the president: "Did Mr. Brick say that there is a certain amount of money for this war?" β
"My old fellow, he is furious, his employees have been killed, the banks have been confiscated, we need to protect him!" said the president. When we were running, he sponsored us a lot of money! β
Alphonse said: "Of course I understand this, he is also an old friend of mine. If there is no risk, I am also willing to do something for my old friend. β
"Risk? What are the risks? The Minister of Defense asked.
Alphonse said: "Huaxia's troops have been stationed in Maori for more than a year, and I don't believe they are ready for war. Of course, if we fight a long game, we will win. However, the initial invasion of the war may not be as smooth as we imagined. β
Montbul said disdainfully: "Your Excellency, do you think that a temporary setback is important?" β
Alphonse flicked the ash on his suit and said impatiently, "For you, not only is it not important, but it is even better." Because once we encounter a setback, you will be able to sell more arms. However, not all of you are arms dealers, and a considerable number of them will participate in the upcoming general election! β
The head of overseas affairs nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is right, our term of office is coming soon, and a new general election is about to begin." At this time, if we start a war, it will have a big impact on our situation in the general election. β
"Damn, that's terrible," said the diplomat and international development officer. The Maori country is too small, we can't get extra points for victory, and if we lose, we will definitely be scolded! β
Alphonse added: "The 100,000 people of the Huaxia Kingdom have been operating there for so long, and if there are no twists and turns, I will not believe it if I die." Although it was definitely the blast furnace country that won in the end, the blast furnace country at that time must have changed to a new total lithium. That's when people mentioned me, they would have said, 'Oh, the guy who dragged us into the quagmire of war and didn't win!'" β
Montebre said, "Oh, Alphonse, you have disappointed me so much. You can't just think about personal honor and not care about the life or death of this country! β
Alphonse said: "I understand your feelings, you only think about the orders from the factory at home, and don't care about the lives of the Maori people!" β
"Okay, let's not say a word!" The president knocked on the table and muttered, "Personally, I think that the general election is imminent, and we should be careful in our choices." The MΔori problem is best resolved through peaceful dialogue, and even if it cannot, it should not be resorted to force lightly, lest it leave a mess for the next government. β
Montbul said angrily: "Your Excellency, you didn't have this attitude just now! You say to our old friends, it's time to act! β
"Yes, it's time to act, but it doesn't have to be military, we need to give Maori a chance," the president said. β
Montbul said: "Actually, you are afraid that you will work hard for a long time to let the new president pick peaches, right?" β
Alphonse said: "I think you are afraid that after the new president starts the war, he will no longer buy your company's weapons, after all, you will no longer be the chief of the treasury and public accounts!" β
Montbul pouted: "In the new team, I want to compete for the position of defense minister, and then the arms at home will only sell better!" β
The president said, "Okay, my suggestion is not to go to war, what about everyone?" β
Thinking of the upcoming election and the possibility of a temporary defeat, everyone chose not to go to war, only Montbul shouted angrily there.
Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, Alphonse smiled and said, "Next, let's discuss how to deal with Mem. This time he really got into trouble, and even if he didn't go to war, the situation in the Maori country would get worse and worse. β
The Foreign Affairs and International Development Bloc said: "I propose to unite our businessmen in MΔori assets and create a general strike. Maori, but we can't do without it! β
Birch Summer, Northern Emperor City, Rain and Snow Club.
Li Yi held Li Ting in his left hand and Lin Ruyu in his right hand, guiding the two of them to travel in the outer universe. There is no longer a clear boundary between heaven and earth, and there is no longer a clear distinction between you and me. This is the process of the birth of life, but also the process of soul purification, only love can complete this process, in order to make each other's lives perfect.
"Well, husband, I'm really convinced of you. Obviously, I've evolved into a very strong god body, and I'm not afraid of bullets, but when I meet you, I can't hold it for a few rounds! Lin Ruyu said weakly.
Li Ting said: "He must have cheated, otherwise with me, I would be able to exercise without sleep for three days and three nights, not to mention you." Husband, it's not right for you to do this! β
Li Yi kissed him left and right: "You don't care what your husband does with you." Hehe, I like to see you unconvinced, but I can't resist my appearance, but you continue to hold on? β
"No, no, I'm about to be killed by you, husband, spare your life!"
Li Yi completely matched Lin Ruyu, and then said with Li Ting's face: "Xiaoting, over there in Maori Country, what else do you have?" β
Li Ting blinked: "What else can there be, they will fight if they are not convinced, anyway, you are in your pocket." Eighty percent of the electricity in the blast furnace countries is nuclear power, and if you blow up half of their nuclear power plants, I don't believe that they will not make peace. A small Maori country is not worth the happiness of the whole people in exchange for a blast furnace. β
Li Yi said: "What if they don't fight? β
"No fighting?" Li Ting blinked, "What else can they do without fighting?" Zhong Yang Bank was copied by Mem! β
Li Yi said: "That's right, Mem copied a Zhongyang bank, but do you understand what the situation is in Maori now?" The Maori power company is run by a businessman from the blast furnace country, and as long as the boss gives the order, the whole city will not be a problem. The Maori airport was built by a blast furnace merchant, and as long as the boss gave the order, there was nowhere for the plane to land. The docks in Maori are contracted by blast furnace merchants, and no supply ships can dock as long as the boss gives the order......"
Li Ting opened her eyes wide and said, "Husband, are you serious?" According to what you say, as long as the blast furnace merchant protests, the world will definitely be big! β
Lin Ruyu said: "Husband, I remember that when we built a factory in Dibu City, it was the Maori side that caused the whole city to cut off power and supply us for construction. In terms of these infrastructures, the government also has a certain right to speak, right? β
Li Yi said: "You are wrong. The MΔori country can cut off the power in the whole city, and we do the construction, because for the power plant owners, no matter who uses electricity, it can bring them profits, and they don't care how we distribute it internally. Now that Xiaoting directly asked Mem to rob Zhong Yang Bank and kill the people of the blast furnace country, can they still watch the excitement? No one wants to sit still! β
Li Ting said: "Do you know that their country is so virtuous, and dare to let them turn against the blast furnace country?" β
Li Yi pinched her nose and chuckled: "Xiaoting, the order was given by you, not by me, and you are not allowed to lie to me." (To be continued)
