Seeing this, Assaf was angry and immediately asked, "Why is this happening?" You are discriminating against! ”

But the salesman didn't buy it at all, and took out a copy of today's newspaper with an impatient face, threw it in front of Assaf, and took the opportunity to abuse: "What's it called, the reason why the price of rice has risen so high is not because you traitors sell all the rice to foreigners, which has caused a shortage of rice and grain in the country!" What qualifications do you have to dislike the high price of rice! ”

Hearing this, Assaf picked up the newspaper and quickly opened it. Sure enough, the front page of the newspaper was that President Sharif personally issued an announcement informing the general public that the new exchange rate between the island currency and the US dollar would be implemented on the same day, and also explained the reasons for the implementation of this new monetary policy.

"In view of the fact that recently, a certain consortium in country M maliciously raised the price to purchase grain from island countries, and its intention was not to make money for our farmers, but to force the people of our island countries to the end of the mountains and rivers. Therefore, the government of the island country has decided that I have signed a document to implement the new exchange rate of the island currency and the US dollar on the same day in order to resist the ill-intentioned intentions of a certain consortium in country M. ”

At the beginning, Sharif's words are concise and clear.

Assaf looked at the newspaper, his hands shaking, and he almost missed it. He didn't expect that the matter of selling rice would have such a big impact. He was taken aback and hurriedly continued to look down.

"After purchasing the grain of the island country, the consortium of country M did not use it for people's livelihood, but deliberately hoarded the grain. They store grain in warehouses or ship it out of the island nation. They use this trick to use food as a weapon. Achieve the goal of threatening the governments of island countries, so as to satisfy their selfish desires. And it shows that if the governments of the island countries do not give in, they will starve to death the citizens of our island countries.

Our government took steps to negotiate with the consortium, but the government of the island country was unwilling to trade the interests of people's livelihood in exchange, so in the end the two sides could not reach a consensus. The government has also tried to prevent people from selling rice, and even told them to leave enough food for their own use. But, alas, there are quite a few short-sighted people. Blinded by the trickery of these conglomerates. They have stockpiled their own grain and sold it for very high dollars.

The occurrence of this situation has led to a serious decline in domestic grain reserves. Today, the island nation has a domestic grain stockpile. It can only be used for two to three months in the country. This means: After less than three months. In order to fill our stomachs, our government needs to spend more than ten times the price to import grain from abroad!

To solve this dilemma. We must take effective measures to prevent this catastrophe from happening. The government is reluctant to solve this problem by raising the tax rate of the people, because it means that the lives of the people will be in dire straits.

Therefore, in order to counter the wanton trampling on the island countries by the G country consortium and kidnapping the government with its nationals, the island countries decided to implement an emergency monetary tightening plan. From now on, a new exchange system will be implemented between the currency of the island country and the US dollar.

In order to prevent the consortium of country M from using other currencies to repeat its old tricks, the government has decided that the exchange rate of the currency of the island country with other currencies will remain unchanged for the time being, but it will remain in a wait-and-see state and retain the possibility of transfer. ”

After reading the entire announcement, Assaf panicked, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: "How is this possible? Isn't the U.S. dollar one of the strongest currencies in the world? In fact, we can use US dollars to buy food abroad! ”

Assaf couldn't help but panic, he wanted to earn dollars. He even used his own island country currency to buy grain from other countries, and then sold it to grain buyers in country M.

At this moment, his losses are very heavy.

At the very least, the wealth accumulated by Assaf by selling grain has shrunk by at least one-half, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The presidential palace of the island nation.

A master's degree in economics suggested that "we can encourage our citizens to put the dollars they earn in the bank, and our government can use them to buy food internationally." ”

"We've thought about this for a long time. However, international food prices fluctuate. In addition, South India and China are at loggerheads, and grain imports have stagnated. In addition, the Australian government has also imposed food restrictions on us. So the situation is already very serious, and the road of importation is not feasible. Sharif said as he thought and shook his head. +

"However, forcibly devaluing the dollar may cause dissatisfaction among the governments of country M, which will bring the two countries head-to-head, which is also very detrimental to our island nation." The staff said worriedly.

"This series of combination punches of the M country consortium is by no means so simple. If it had not been tacitly approved or even promoted by the government of country M, would the consortium of country M have made such a big move? They are just a gang of private interests, and they never dare to rashly openly confront a country. So, if you want to say that there is no push behind it, anyway, I don't believe it. "Sharif has been trained by a personal training center to no longer be an ordinary village chief who knows nothing, but has already risen to become a qualified and strategist-savvy president of the country.

"However, if we do so, it will not be conducive to the development of our foreign trade. Even the development of tourism will inevitably cause great obstacles. Economic experts said.

Sharif looked at the economist strangely and asked, "What are we developing tourism for?" ”

"In order to develop the economy." The economic expert replied.

"What is the purpose of economic development?" Sharif continued.

"Make the country rich and the people rich." The economic expert replied in the affirmative.

"Then you tell me that my people are already facing a situation of imminent hunger, and their stomachs are not full, and what tourism can I take care of? Do my people still have the heart to care about these things? Sharif asked rhetorically.

This sharp rhetorical question suddenly made the economic experts speechless and unable to deal with it.

Sharif looked at his economic expert, and immediately felt that what he said was a bit serious, so he smiled and eased the atmosphere: "What you said is not unreasonable. However, the monetary policy adopted this time is mainly aimed at the US dollar. Even if there is an impact, it is only an exchange between the island country and the M country, and it is not a big deal. In fact, things have developed to the current situation, even if we don't take measures to fight it. Country M will not let go, so we can no longer look ahead and sit idly by. ”

The PICs are indeed forced to implement such a policy. Otherwise, they will not be able to stop the people's frenzied grain sales. If we wait until all the grain of the people is sold out and the price of food soars, what awaits the government of the island country may be social unrest. This is extremely detrimental to the island nation.

Of course, the reason why the Sharif government dared to take such tough countermeasures was also because of the food support provided by Tuller as a confidence. Moreover, the government financial aspect. There is also financial backing from top tech companies.

Meanwhile. Representatives of the two major consortia of country M, the Rockefeller Consortium and the Douglas Consortium, were sitting in a reception room of the embassy of country M, drinking coffee. While chatting.

"The government of the island country is really tough. He was still not convinced. Widden, a representative of the Rockefeller consortium, picked up a cup of coffee. He smiled leisurely.

"Such a small country, there is nothing to fear, their government has come to implement monetary tightening at this time. It's just a dead chicken holding up the rice cover. If you don't look back until you reach the south wall, what's the use of holding on. We'll just wait to see the show. It was Larry, the representative of the Douglas consortium, who replied with a smile on his face, crossed his legs, and looked confident.

"However, can this method really affect the top technology? I got the inside scoop that top tech is doing internal research. Although the content of their research is highly confidential, the information I have received indicates that their research is related to the intelligence system of the 'battle'. Verdon said leisurely with a little puzzlement and regret.

"This shows that without oppression, top technology will not develop more technology. There is nothing wrong with our strategy. Larry said.

In fact, both Verdon and Larry know that this economic battle is not only a battle for the M consortium to try to carve up the economy of the island country and force the top technology to succumb, but also a battle for whether they can rise again.

In the last negotiations, the actions of Verdon and Larry caused the two major consortia to suffer great losses. Although they were lucky not to be retreated in the end, their status in the consortium has dropped a lot, which has even led them to become the handle of insiders.

Otherwise, the ambassador of the embassy of country M would not have hung them like this for an hour, and he would not have seen them. So, the two of them have been looking for opportunities to deal with the island nation and top technology in order to restore their reputation and status.

After a while, a counselor of the embassy finally came over and said to Verdon and Larry: "The embassy has an urgent meeting, and the ambassador has no time to see you, please go back." ”

Verdon was suddenly angry, stood up and scolded: "Why doesn't the ambassador see us, isn't he the ambassador of country M, or we are not citizens of country M!" ”

Although Larry did not get angry, he was very angry in his heart, his face was also very ugly, and he said coldly: "What kind of meeting is the ambassador going to hold is so urgent, and we can't even see it, is it more important than our economic war with the island country?" ”

The counselor of the embassy of country M only needs to be responsible for the embassy, and he looks fearless and domineering to the two of them, but he is not moved at all, and still maintains a polite but cold face, and asks the two to leave as soon as possible. In fact, there is indeed an important meeting in the embassy at this time, and it cannot be disturbed, and it is not deliberately to find excuses to perfunctory them.

So, the counselor in charge of the message, didn't say anything more after that, and turned away, leaving Verdon and Larry where they were.

Verdon and Larry looked at the back of the departing counselor, unable to figure out what was going on. The staff of the embassy turned such a blind eye to them.

This made Verdon and Larry panic and have no confidence.

The purpose of their visit to the embassy is to ask the embassy to come forward and lodge a serious protest against the monetary policy of the government of the island country on behalf of country M, so as to combat the government of the island country in adjusting the currency exchange rate.

In fact, the policy of adjusting the currency exchange of island countries is already an administrative means, not a market means. The global economy has always developed on the basis of free market regulation, not to mention that the current situation has directly harmed the interests of country M, so they have reason to believe that the government of country M will not allow such government intervention and disrupting the order of the international currency market by the island country.

However, Verdon and Larry fail to realize that this is an important point.

That is, the monetary policy of the island countries does not have much influence in the international community.

And. Because the island countries are small, the affected countries are not large, and they are not even enough to affect the position of the US dollar in the currency markets of Southeast Asian countries.

Anyone can see that the target of the monetary policy of the island countries is actually very clear. That is to confront the consortium of country M and curb them from making waves in the domestic grain market of the island country.

The import and export trade volume between country M and island countries is almost non-existent.

The depreciation of the US dollar is a big deal, and it is a big deal that tourists from country M should not travel to the island country.

Therefore, in the eyes of the government of country M, this is actually only within the scope of the island's internal affairs, and they can't do it for the sake of two big conglomerates. Aggressive interventions.

Of course. There is also a secondary reason, and that is that country M is now in great trouble.

Watching the embassy counselor leave, Verdon and Larry glanced at each other and lowered their heads. began to think about how they would face the opposition of the island government next.

Verdon and Larry didn't realize this. It is also because they only value profits. Short-sighted.

"How much money do you have over there?" Verdon asked.

"I have $300 million left." Larry replied.

"Well, I still have more than 200 million, and the funds are enough. Look at me. Let's just cooperate with ourselves and continue to collect food, so that we don't have to rely on others and look at other people's faces. This time, we're going to do a big job, not only for the rice market, but as long as it's food, we're going to raise it, what do you think? Verdon suggested. Ambitious, he plans to speed up the pace and force the island governments to comply.

Of course, Verdon also hopes that other international speculators will join in the fight. After all, relying on the two consortia alone, it is still somewhat difficult to deal with the government of an island country with top-notch technology support.

"Yes, but what about the embassy?" Larry showed some scruples, of course he didn't want to offend the embassy, and he always felt that if the embassy could come forward, not only would they not be so difficult, maybe when the conflict between the two sides intensified, their consortium could have the embassy as a big backer, and they could hide behind it and only make profits without being harmed, and they didn't have to bear the brunt of it.

"As long as the government of the island country can bow its head, these bureaucrats in the embassy will definitely help us solve the rest of the problems. The government's mind is always deeper, but these cunning people probably want to reap the benefits of the fishermen. Seeing the embassy's posture today, Larry felt a little more resentful of the embassy.

After Verdon and Larry agreed on their next move, they both stopped grabbing the embassy coffee and went back to their respective offices in the island nation.

In fact, Larry and Verdon are just thinking in a small circle, only focusing on their own interests, but they don't know that the reason why the embassy of country M did not summon them is because the embassy of country M is indeed facing a great enemy at this time, and relatively speaking, their matter is only as thin as a cow's hair.

Because the government of country M has not long passed down accurate intelligence information. The aircraft carrier Maverick, which belongs to the Pacific Fleet of Country M, has been sunk and completely annihilated.

The government of country M has asked all agencies in the Pacific Rim affiliated with country M, including embassies, to be vigilant and wait for further notice. At the same time, the intelligence bureau of country M must also be dispatched to search for enemy clues on a global scale.

Since the signing of the New Energy Non-Proliferation Treaty, there is an intelligence cooperation relationship between the government of the island country and the government of country M, so the intelligence bureau of the island country has also received a request for assistance from the government of country M.

Pan Huan immediately passed the information to Du Le. After Du Le learned about it, he immediately felt that this was a breakthrough, so he thought about how to tell the news of the alien base to country M.

The best channel is to use the exchange of intelligence between the National Intelligence Agency.

Of course, Du Le did not let Pan Huan directly tell the government of country M about the alien outpost he disguised, but he needed to guide him step by step, so that the intelligence bureau of country M could slowly find this base, which was the best way.

Du Le found a way to get to the pit country M, and his mood became excited. He was not in a hurry, and asked Pan Huan to take the initiative to give a little intelligence assistance to the Intelligence Bureau of Country M. For example, it was revealed to the intelligence bureau of country M that the person who attacked the M army may be aliens. After Pan Huan received Du Le's instructions, he immediately did so.

Soon after returning from the restaurant, he teleported to a foreign land.

The good news came from the smart factory, that is, the production line of the suspension vehicle has been successfully installed, and the first suspension vehicle has been successfully put into trial production.

As hovering cars slowly replaced manpower as the main means of transportation of resources in the Han Kingdom, this meant that a new industrial era was coming in a foreign land. This sense of accomplishment made Du Le more and more happy.

At least, Du Le doesn't have to worry about the productivity of the Han Kingdom, because this greatly liberates people's hands, which means that the development of the other world will enter a high-speed stage.

In addition, it also benefits the island country, because it gives the island country another artifact that attracts the attention of the world.

It's just the production of suspension cars, because of the limited production resources, only one car a day can be produced for the time being. Therefore, after the successful trial production, Düle did not rush to deliver. There is still a long time before the order deadline on the official website of Longteng.

After returning to Earth, he purchased a piece of land in the island nation and built a closed processing plant. Then, at the door of this processing plant, Du Le hung the sign of Longteng Automobile Manufacturing Factory No. 2.

Du Le put the factory that nominally manufactured hovercars in the island country with his own considerations. The main reason is that in the island country, Du Le has the absolute right to speak.

If, on the other hand, he chooses to build his factory in China, there is no guarantee that his factory will not run into trouble. After all, it is really difficult to say whether the Chinese government will intervene if it learns that it has mastered such a particularly advanced technique.

This Longteng No. 2 Factory, Du Le deliberately set up here, is also to distinguish it. Except for the name related to Longteng Company in China, there is no other interest relationship. Longteng Company has no control over Longteng No. 2 Factory, no subordination, only a cooperative relationship.

But this processing plant on the surface is not useless.

Du Le is going to recruit a group of car detailing workers to be responsible for the beauty of hovering cars. According to the customer's requirements, a series of transformations are carried out on the shape and interior decoration of the car. In order to allow customers to drive Longxiang suspension car in a very comfortable way.

Du Le couldn't let a customer spend 20 million Chinese dollars just to get a car with a suspension function. The follow-up of after-sales service also plays a non-negligible role in the promotion of business.

Fortunately, there are no car manufacturing factories in the island country, but there is no shortage of car beauty workers. Soon, Düle was recruiting the right workers for his auto factory.

Khufu, director of the intelligence bureau of country M, sat in his office with a depressed face. He's been overwhelmed by everything he's been doing lately. Fortunately, Army M also has an intelligence investigation bureau, which can share this huge pressure with him.

For the sake of intelligence, Khufu had to ask for help from the allies of country M. However, Khufu soon regretted it. Because, many allies are still unaware of the attack on the Maverick.

As soon as the intelligence bureau of country M sent out to assist in the investigation, the main responsible persons of the intelligence bureaus of various countries were stunned. There are even some people who joke about Khufu, when does the intelligence service of country M ask for help from other countries. This made Khufu feel humiliated.

Of course, no country dared to refuse the assistance of the intelligence bureau of country M in the investigation. It's just that the situation is pressing, and Khufu can only tolerate their gossip.

But despite this, none of the intelligence services of various countries sent back any information about the enemy's tracks.

What made Khufu even more indignant was the information of the intelligence service of the island nation. The Intelligence Agency of the Island Country actually told the Intelligence Bureau of Country M that according to the analysis of their intelligence analysts, the M Army was very likely to be attacked by aliens.

This made Khufu even more suspicious. Khufu's first reaction was that the island government was perfunctory.

Therefore, without even reading the analysis report, Khufu directly threw the intelligence of the intelligence bureau of the island country into the trash. (To be continued......)
