Chapter 439: Multi-Domain Action
That night, the case that happened in Portley City, in Mexigo, because it happened in a remote and uninhabited area, although it was an anti-drug war, it caused a lot of movement, but no one knew about it except for the police of the United States and Mexico.
At the same time, because after this incident, the United States required strict secrecy and could not be disclosed, so there was no relevant news and news.
During this time, the attention of the whole world and the focus of the news were still the golden island that had been isolated from the world for hundreds of years in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
Yes, after nearly a month of brewing, the Octopus Island was spontaneously renamed the Golden Island by the media and people around the world, and even some international organizations seem to have tacitly adopted the other name of this island.
Because in recent times, the world has created several groups of billionaires who have returned with gold because of the emergence of the Golden Island.
Although some countries adjacent to the Pacific Ocean have customized a blockade plan for Octopus Island, they want to restrict the development of the blockade of Octopus Island from various aspects such as the economy.
However, under the influence of the gold rush to Octopus Island and the hype of European news, Europeans and Middle Eastern businessmen were not warned, and they resolutely collected a large amount of supplies to go to sea, trying to avoid some regular routes of the American navy in the Pacific Ocean, and quietly went to the waters of Octopus Island.
Even, even some businessmen in the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan Island and other countries who have reached the League of Nations with the United States, they are very angry that the gold of Octopus Island has been earned by merchants in Europe and the Middle East, after all, Octopus Island is next to them, and they can't earn those benefits, which is a very infuriating thing.
Therefore, stimulated by the interests of the gold everywhere on Octopus Island, many people in these countries have taken advantage of the proximity to Octopus Island and quietly disregarded the government's orders to go to sea to pan for gold in the waters of Octopus Island.
And relative to Octopus Island and Yu Xiaohu. Yu Xiaohu has recently sat on Octopus Island, and for those Japanese island countries who came to exchange gold with him privately, as well as private businessmen from neighboring countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia, he naturally did not refuse to come, and gave them a little sweetness to taste.
Yu Xiaohu believes that the high-level leaders of several neighboring countries have customized the blockade plan for Octopus Island. However, there are policies and countermeasures, and under the stimulus of these interests, this so-called blockade plan will certainly be the first to disintegrate from within these countries.
Since then, merchants from island countries, Indonesia and other countries have found a large amount of gold on Octopus Island, which is tantamount to triggering a flood.
Stimulated by those people, more and more people joined the wave of gold mining on Octopus Island. Even if the customs and Maritime Self-Defense Forces of the Japanese island countries are dispatched to suppress it, it will not help, but it will trigger the hidden rebellious consciousness of the Japanese island people, and make more people join the ranks of this gold rush.
And for this gold rush to the Golden Island, the people of the United States can only watch, after all, although the Pacific Ocean is their backyard, they have no right to restrict or detain the ships of merchants with legal procedures on the high seas.
In addition, these businessmen come from all over the world, and at the same time, some European countries seem to be in a tacit posture towards the small countries on Octopus Island behind their backs, and have not made any moves. Domestic merchants were even encouraged to go to the Golden Isle to pan for gold in order to increase their country's gold reserves.
And that's not all. Even some private enterprises in the United States are secretly doing some related things, but the government of the United States is helpless.
Besides, how can the Mi army have so much energy to let warships move around in the Pacific Ocean every day, and the military expenditure and maintenance expenses alone are a lot of money.
Recently, the United States has to budget for a new round of anti-terrorist operations, and it is impossible to spend it on those trivial matters, so that the Mi army has been sluggish after a period of implementation.
Affected by this. Since it was reported in the news again, more and more people in the United States and on the island of Japan ignored the so-called blockade plan and participated in this gold rush.
As a result, more and more people from all over the world are coming to Octopus Island to pan for gold.
But. For Yu Xiaohu, it is impossible for him to use the huge reserves of gold on the base island to exchange materials with businessmen from all over the world all over the world.
Even if there are still a large number of gold reserves of about one million tons collected by the collection robots in the ocean, there are still a lot of wolves on the base island, and there will always be a time when they will be exhausted.
However, fortunately, he persisted to this stage, and the whole world gradually began to acquiesce to the existence of the small island country on Octopus Island, and the blockade plan customized by the people of the United States began to be full of loopholes.
In this world where interests are paramount, with sufficient interests, it is completely able to touch the hearts of the vast majority of people.
Even if these countries such as the Japanese Island and the Mi people are the most vocal about Octopus Island, when the interests of some of them are satisfied, they are no longer monolithic, and the so-called blockade alliance is the first to disintegrate from within them.
In this gold rush with the world's attention to Octopus Island, because a large amount of gold was carried out, the international gold price began to fall, and at the same time, he also had an impact on the monetary system of some countries, resulting in currency depreciation or exchange rate decline, and indirectly caused some financial turmoil.
In the midst of this financial turmoil, the European Money Bank suddenly announced a major move, that is, it will soon start cooperation with the Golden Island in the financial business of gold and euro exchange.
At the same time, the Swiss bank also announced an increase in the amount of gold reserves in the vault, and will soon start to support the currency exchange and credit business of the Golden Island's commercial investment reserves, and also announced that it will carry out currency exchange and issuance business with the Golden Island.
That is to say, after the European Money Bank and the Swiss Bank have reached a cooperation in the field of financial business with the Golden Island, it also means that the euro will be the first to be used in the Golden Island from now on, and at the same time, China's soft currency will also be included in the financial cooperation business between the central bank and the Golden Island.
Just after these news were announced, the whole world was once again in an uproar and sensation.
And with the release of these news news, Europe and other countries have reached an agreement in this regard. It also made the currency status of the euro climb again, and after the tentacles successfully extended to Asia, it began to seriously threaten the currency status of the dollar in the world.
In response to these major measures made by the European side, the Federal Reserve of the United States and other financial institutions such as the United States have also quickly made targeted adjustments, and at the same time, the United States government announced that terrorist organizations with cutting-edge technological armed forces have once again emerged around the world and are carrying out terrorist attacks. The United States will launch a new round of war on terror.
In fact, this is already a cliché, every time the United States encounters an economic crisis, it will launch a war on terror, trying to use war to adjust and ease turbulence, so as to achieve the purpose of stimulating domestic economic growth.
However, as a result, the attention of the people of the United States has been forced to shift to a new round of the war on terror, as well as to deal with the upcoming economic crisis and financial turmoil, and they have become more and more concerned about the development of Octopus Island.
Although the United States still has not given up on the scientific investigation operation to break through the energy barrier around the sea area of Octopus Island, their military forces such as warships and submarines cannot enter the sea area of Octopus Island. Without the deterrence of a strong military force, no matter how many intelligence officers they sent, it would be useless.
Moreover, now with the European Bank and the Central Bank of China have reached cooperation with Octopus Island in the financial field, businessmen around the world are once again focusing on Octopus Island, and even many large enterprises are looking for opportunities to invest in Octopus Island.
After all, everything on Octopus Island is in a state of pending development, and it can be said that there are business opportunities everywhere. No matter which industry you invest in, you can make a profit, and many discerning merchants have the advantage of strong gold reserves when they see Octopus Island. It is fully capable of issuing its own monetary system, and it can also be pegged to strong currencies such as the euro and soft currency, which can fully guarantee the operation of the commercial system on the island.
On Octopus Island, after Yu Xiaohu collected a large number of materials from all over the world in the recent period, people all over the world thought that the materials on Octopus Island had begun to be rich now, and its development speed would also accelerate.
So do it. Yu Xiaohu took this opportunity to start large-scale construction on Octopus Island.
Of course, the first thing to build is road traffic.
Because the earth satellite could not photograph the construction and development of Octopus Island, and at the same time, the aerial reconnaissance planes of various countries could not monitor all the activities on the ground here, which gave Yu Xiaohu a good opportunity to work behind closed doors.
Thereupon. Under Yu Xiaohu's order, a large number of engineering robots were dispatched to the undersea base island, and after they came to Octopus Island by ladder, they began to lay modern road traffic facilities around the entire Octopus Island.
After all, those robots are different from humans, their loyalty is unquestionable, they don't need to rest, they don't need to eat or drink, they only need to replenish their energy regularly for maintenance, and it can be said that there is no problem at all when they start work 24 hours a day.
And you can imagine how efficient it is when there are about 10,000 engineering robots on Octopus Island to start 24-hour uninterrupted construction operations.
So in a few days, most of the roads and bridges on the entire Octopus Island were built, spacious and open, accessible in all directions, like a giant spider's web, but very regular.
Because Octopus Island has an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, in Yu Xiaohu's planning, it is planned to build four large cities in the future, which are located in the east, west, north and south of Octopus Island, and the main city of the island, that is, the original Yu Xiaohu chose to build ancient buildings, and build royal palaces and other facilities as the center for ring road expansion construction.
At the same time, along the coast of the island, a number of large and medium-sized ports and wharves and other related facilities have also been established.
Although these ports will be idle for a period of time after they are completed, there are only two or three ports that can be used efficiently to accept the trade activities of the merchant ships that pour into the waters of Octopus Island every day to transport various goods.
However, while Yu Xiaohu is building civilian and commercial facilities, he will naturally not let go of the establishment of military and other facilities, and some ports will be used as military ports.
Up to now, Yu Xiaohu does not dare to underestimate the passion of those businessmen all over the world in order to make profits.
For the sake of profit. In addition to transporting some commonly used materials, many businessmen also dare to transport some precious metals, rare minerals, military instruments and equipment, arms and weapons, etc.
Moreover, in addition, Yu Xiaohu had given instructions to those creatures, as long as it was a good thing that those merchants dared to transport, they would accept it.
In addition, the early development of Octopus Island did not charge tariffs on those foreign merchants. This has further stimulated the rampant smuggling activities of those businessmen, and caused some resource departments and customs in some countries around the world to be very troublesome, and strongly demanded that Octopus Island join the world trade system, accept the norms and constraints of international trade law, and no longer develop in such a free and random manner.
After Yu Xiaohu heard these news, he was very surprised.
These calls from the outside world also show that they treat Octopus Island as a small country, and the existence of Octopus Island in the world has been imperceptibly regarded as a small country, rather than just an ordinary island.
And this time. Yu Xiaohu also felt that the time was ripe for the issuance of currency.
After all, the nearly 10,000 or so residents of the entire Octopus Island are all biological people bred from the base island, so it can be said that they do not belong to the category of real humans.
The existence of these biological people was also deliberately arranged and transformed by Yu Xiaohu in consideration of creating some illusions for the appearance of Octopus Island.
Essentially, their life mechanism is not too dependent on the intake of food and nutrients from the outside world, and the biochemical fluids they need are all provided by the base island.
Therefore, Yu Xiaohu issued currency on this island where there were no real humans, but only established order in advance. It is purely for the merchants who come from afar, and those who will emigrate to the island in the future. And there is no need to circulate too much currency between those living people.
The early issuance of the currency also had the advantage of having a private agreement with the European Bank and the Asian Central Bank on financial cooperation, which allowed the merchants who flocked to the waters of Octopus Island to adapt to the currency in advance.
After those merchants get the currency of Octopus Island and send it outside, the European banks will settle and exchange it according to the cooperative business, and those huge capital flows. Privately, the funds flow in these banks are through these large groups such as the Shenhu Group, which are in the hands of Yu Xiaohu.
That is to say, when the currency obtained by the merchants on Octopus Island was exchanged for other currencies in the major banks of the outside world, the banks always used the fund accounts established by Yu Xiaohu in these banks, and they could also obtain some related intermediate fees from them. It is the so-called win-win situation, which is the main reason why the bank is willing to cooperate with Yu Xiaohu.
And in this way, it is equivalent to those merchants transporting goods to Octopus Island, getting the currency on Octopus Island, and exchanging it outside is Yu Xiaohu's money, although Yu Xiaohu will lose some fees charged by banks in the middle, but this is completely negligible to him, which is also a vested interest for those banks, but the advantage of this is that he will make the currency issued on Octopus Island more convenient to circulate in the outside world.
For a long time, Yu Xiaohu's development and construction of Octopus Island has been based on a strong base island protection system, so that some military powers such as the United States cannot carry out the threat of force and military intervention, first through some contact with some chess pieces from the outside world, so that they can expose the information of Octopus Island.
While the world began to pay attention to Octopus Island, but they couldn't learn more information, they would be eager to get more information, so when they couldn't enter it on a large scale, they could only send some intelligence officers to the island to explore some of the information provided by Yu Xiaohu to help them spread it outside, so that Octopus Island received more attention.
At the same time, Yu Xiaohu also used the huge gold reserves collected by the robot in the underwater world to constantly engage in material transactions with private businessmen from the outside world, which also created an illusion of gold everywhere on Octopus Island to the outside world, stimulating the enthusiasm of more businessmen, and increasing the trading volume of various materials step by step after tasting the sweetness.
In this way, the materials on Octopus Island began to be continuously enriched, and at the same time, it will also give a signal to the outside world that Octopus Island has a huge and rich supply of materials, because there is no interference and threat from external forces, and the pace of its development will inevitably be accelerated.
Don't look at the fact that when he was discovered, it was a small island that was still in a primitive state, but after Yu Xiaohu's step-by-step planning, the development of Octopus Island is changing all the time.
In particular, to the amazement of the intelligence officers of various countries who infiltrated Octopus Island to investigate intelligence information, the speed of development of Octopus Island was so fast that the intelligence information they had sent back soon fell behind.
And every time they sneak into Octopus Island to get some new information and bring it back, when they successfully sneak into Octopus Island again, they find that the information is outdated, and they have to collect it again.
They didn't know that these were also implemented under Yu Xiaohu's deliberate control, and he just wanted to give the whole world a subtle acceptance of the existence of Octopus Island.
And now, through the accumulation of time little by little, Yu Xiaohu's plan progress is also transitioning smoothly step by step, so that the whole world has been surprised by the appearance of Octopus Island from the beginning, and then to the current transfer of tacit habits and acceptance, and even the countries on this island are gradually being accepted and recognized by countries around the world......
