Chapter 52: News Rhetoric
"What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly, what did your boss tell you, did you think you did a bad job and fired you."
Seeing Traust hang up the phone, his face was pale, and cold sweat couldn't stop oozing, Stephen couldn't help but tease.
Stephen knows Traust's experience and knows that this senior in the financial industry has been down for a while, and if he hadn't climbed into a big financier this time, he would not have been able to return to the financial market and control this hundreds of millions of dollars in big business.
Therefore, Stephen can't help but have a new mentality of looking at the old man sadly.
Traust came back to his senses, glanced at Stephen, and said, "You also heard just now, the boss wants to buy a batch of yellowcakes through my connections." β
"It's just a yellow cake, and it's not a big deal." Stephen knew about the yellowcake and naturally didn't care.
It's a useful thing, but almost no one is associated with building a nuclear weapon.
Traust wanted to laugh at Stephen's ignorance, but after thinking about it, he was simply 50 steps and 100 steps, so he had no leisure and said, "He wants to buy dozens of tons at once." β
"Dozens...... Dozens of tons! Stephen was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he almost jumped up.
"What are you kidding, dozens of tons of yellow cakes, I mean uranium, my God, what the hell is this guy trying to do. Traust, you haven't told me about your boss, who the hell is he, blowing up oil refineries, stirring up regional disputes, and now dozens of tons of uranium ore, my God, this is a terrorist. Stephen was dumbfounded.
Traust did not mention Yang Tian's matter to him, so that Stephen always thought that Yang Tian was also a capitalist like his boss, who had insight into opportunities and saw the crisis in the North Soviet Union.
But now Stephen realizes that his ideas are really too naΓ―ve, people are not seeing the opportunity at all, and the war is simply provoked by others.
"Well, it's better to ask less." Of course, it was impossible for Traust to confide in Yang Tian's situation.
Yang Tian also explained on the phone that the explosion at the Khartoum refinery was not the end, and Yang Tian planned to have a shot or three shots, and Trauster knew that soon, the only remaining large oil refinery in the North Soviet Union, the oil refinery in Sudan Port, would also cease to exist.
"Go, help me meet the editor-in-chief of the Khartoum Monitor." Traust ordered, now that the east wind has come, it is time to strike.
β¦β¦
Presidential palace.
Brahim angrily slapped a newspaper on the table, and his muscles flareed up, like an angry lion.
"How on earth do you do things, how can you allow this kind of argument to be reported at such a critical moment." Brahim's spit almost squirted on the head of the little man opposite.
The bloody guy on the other side of the scolding dog is called Hamawi, who is the Minister of Information of the North Soviet Union.
He was called suddenly, but as soon as he came up, he was greeted by Brahim scolding, and he still didn't know what he had done wrong.
The bombing of oil refineries in El Obai and Khartoum is a no-brainer that everyone knows it's not that simple.
Domestic journalists tried in every possible way to find out the real cause of the accident, and foreign journalists frantically poured into Khartoum like sharks smelling blood.
With so many dead and wounded, and the bombing of six oil wells in the Abyeji area a while ago, the situation in the entire North Soviet Union is in turmoil, and now the attention of the world's mainstream media is focused on the North Soviet Union.
So Hamawi's pressure is also very high, to control the influence, low-key processing, I haven't slept well in the past two days.
"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on?" Seeing that Brahim's anger had subsided slightly, Hamawi hurriedly asked the reason.
Even if you want to die, you have to be a ghost.
Brahim grabbed the newspaper and threw it in Hamawi's face: "Look for yourself." β
Although he was born as a general, he has always been very cultivated, and now he is so angry that he will make the move of smashing the newspaper in the face of a high-ranking official with a political axe.
Hamawi did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and hurriedly spread out the newspaper, which was the Khartoum Proverb.
In the past two days, Hamawi was busy dealing with foreign media, and he did not expect that a fire broke out in the backyard and he was stabbed by his own family.
"A new take-off for the economy? Or a crisis. β
The headline on the front page is not too scary, but it can't bear the large circulation, and it can be said that people in the entire Khartoum area will see this report.
Skipping the title, Hamawi read it carefully, his brow furrowed rapidly.
North Soviet Union is one of the least developed economic countries, these years has been carrying out economic reforms, and in recent years, with the development of oil resources, there is an argument in the political axe, that is, to take the oil industry as the foundation, and to stimulate related industries to revitalize the economy.
In Hamawi's view, this strategy is very correct, the oil reserves of the North Soviet Union are not low, and it happens to meet the Chinese capital that is searching for oil all over the world, taking advantage of the withdrawal of European and American capital from the North Soviet Union, the two sides are almost the best, and they hit it off.
With the financial support of China, it is certainly feasible to exchange oil for economy.
And in the past two years, the effect has been quickly obtained, and the oil revenue seems to be the largest part of the income of the political axe.
However, this report is evasive and trivial, and it seems to be discussing and analyzing the oil development policy of the political axe, but in fact, it is also constantly revealing a message to readers, that is, the oil industry occupies too much of the economy, which is a big hidden danger.
If it is left in the ordinary, the reader will definitely be treated as an expert's idle egg, and the argument of finding fault with the bones in the egg.
No economic policy in the world is perfect, and there will always be various hidden dangers and shortcomings.
But at the moment, when oil wells were destroyed, oil refineries were bombed, and the oil extraction and processing industries that the North Soviet Union had worked so hard to build were destroyed, the intentions of this report became sinister.
It almost leads the people to believe that there is a hidden danger in the oil economic policy, and now that this hidden danger has erupted, the economy of the North Soviet Union will soon regress, because the North Soviet Union has no other pillar industries except the oil industry.
Damn Jamad!
Hamawi cursed the editor-in-chief of the Khartoum Herald.
But the newspaper has already been printed, and now it is useless to pursue Jamud, who was kicked in the head by a donkey, and the main thing is to control the impact of this report.
Just as he was about to speak, Brahim on the other side had already stood up.
Glancing at Hamawi coldly, Brahim said: "This matter is left to you, and you must find a way to erase the bad influence of this report." I've got a meeting to go, so go back first. β
Hamawi nodded hurriedly, he also knew that Brahim was also under a lot of pressure these days.
Moreover, he also received rumors that Brahim was not going to visit China.
Most of the oil industry in the entire North Soviet Union has been destroyed, and if you want to rebuild, it is impossible to rely on the power of the political axe yourself, so you can only rely on external forces and China's funds.
However, this series of incidents has caused great losses on the Chinese side, and whether it will continue to contribute funds is another matter.
Moreover, the crux of the matter is that China is friendly with both sides, with the North Soviet Union, and with the South Sudan, and it has long been rumored that the South Soviet Union cannot afford the high oil transit fees and wants to build an oil pipeline through Kenya, which borders the southeast.
If this oil pipeline is successfully constructed, then the abundant oil of the southern Soviet Union will continue to be exported, and there will be no need to endure the increasing transit fees of the northern Soviet Union year by year.
At this time, if China gave up on the North Soviet Union and intervened in the negotiations between the South Soviet Union and Kenya to help build this oil pipeline, then the North Soviet Union would be dumbfounded.
Eventful autumn could not be more appropriate to describe the North Soviet Union at this time.
