Chapter 241: The Impact of the Gulf War
"The Coming of the Bad Movie Era", since the comments on this title appeared, the Nord reviews have been crazy, but they are also criticizing the bad movies of the Nord Kingdom at this time. ≧,
On the day of the incident, Joseph delivered a letter to the Cabinet government, and within an hour of reading the letter, Smith convened a cabinet meeting, after which a decree was sent to everyone regarding the censorship of Nord's images.
With the issuance of the order, the Nord film and television industry was boiling for a while, and there was dissatisfaction and swearing. Of course, almost none of them involve the royal family.
Although there are strong obstacles, the regulations are still smoothly developed, and some unqualified or even serious directors will not only be disqualified from shooting screen movies, but they will also be sued by the judicial authorities and face imprisonment.
After some rectification, only about 60 directors of Nord were left behind, and the rest of the staff all stayed away from Nord or went to online dramas and online movies for redevelopment.
At the same time, the rectification of movies has also begun, some unqualified or even bad reviews of the film are directly thrown into the trash, and the films that are still under review will not be approved, and they can only be screened after re-review. However, there are also some conscientious films, which will also be delayed due to censorship, which makes some long-awaited citizens very dissatisfied.
At this time, there was also a move, and Kate and the cabinet government were engaged in a joint operation to prepare for a new cinema chain that would monopolize the existing Nord film market.
As with the previous royal government, the cinema royal family or Kate accounted for 10 quarters, the cabinet government accounted for 10 quarters, and the local government accounted for 40 quarters.
Among them, the local government bears the personnel of the location, and the construction cost is jointly paid by the royal family and the cabinet, because the relevant equipment is produced by Apple, so the cabinet has a slight advantage. (The Cabinet owns 60/60 of Apple's shares (20 of which are "leased" by the Cabinet) of the royal family.) )
Cinemas are an important part of the review, so they must be co-financed by the Cabinet, the Royal Family, and the local government. Only in this way can the issue of fairness and justice be guaranteed.
In January 1991, the Nord Kingdom was supposed to release 67 films, 17 of which were important Chinese New Year films, but ...... Now after review and cropping, there are only 20 left, and 17 Chinese New Year films...... There are only six left, and the cropping rate reaches 70 out of 10.
The cropped film and television dramas can only come to the Internet through "free" channels to try their luck, and the five-minute trailer makes their final results very dismal, which makes the audience happy and at the same time can't help but marvel at the eyes of the members of the film review team, but a new wave of criticism is coming again.
Members of the film review team have faced all sorts of false accusations and abuse. On the Internet, there is often a well-known movie critic who has a relationship with an actress, how the boss of a well-known film company, and how to ......
As the saying goes, habit becomes nature, there is no explanation and no argument, so those trolls also get bored when they come and gradually disappear from the Internet......
And just when the Nord Internet was still debating who was who was the most intense, a new news shocked the world, and the Gulf War officially began.
On January 17, 1991, the U.S.-led multinational force, under the authority of the United Nations Security Council, waged a local war against Iraq in order to restore the territorial integrity of Kuwait. At the same time, it was also the war with the highest modernization process in the history of human warfare, the largest use of new weapons, and the largest amount of military expenditure.
Multi-team - Kuwait, United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, France, Canada, Italy, Australia, South Korea, United Arab Emirates.
Why is there no Nord kingdom among them? It is not that the Nord Kingdom agrees with Iraq's approach, but that the United Nations or the United States has not invited the Nord Kingdom at all. Don't you see that there is also a partial intention to divide the European countries?
During the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988, the source of the Gulf War, Iraq owed a number of Arab countries, including $14 billion to Kuwait. Iraq wants the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to reduce oil production and increase oil prices. Repay debts after making a profit. However, Kuwait increased its production and caused a drop in oil prices, hoping to force Iraq to settle their border dispute.
The result, however, is that Iraq accuses Kuwait of taking advantage of the Iran-Iraq war to build military bases in Iraq. Iraq declared that it had made a contribution to all Arab countries in the Iran-Iraq war as a buffer between other Arab countries and Iran. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia should therefore forgive Iraq's war loans. Iraq attempted to occupy Kuwait for reasons of strategic security.
To put it simply, Kuwait does not have much capacity for war. But he spoke and acted to provoke a powerful Iraq, even if the United States was behind it, but it still fell into the hands of Iraq, or he did not expect that the president of Iraq would be so bold.
In fact, it is not only the president who is bold, but the current international situation that gives him this courage, and he is gambling that he can re-establish the Barhambian Empire.
However, the outcome will be completely out of self-confidence in its strong Mr. President.
Of course, now everything has nothing to do with Joseph, he is just a bystander, silently watching the development of things, of course, at the same time, he is also quietly making money.
At the height of the Gulf War, oil would reach $40, and what Joseph had to do was to quietly sell all the oil he had stored during this period. Yes, it is to sell quietly, because a careless will cause a turbulence in the price of oil, and it will fall back to the original course, after all, the price of oil has risen because of the small quantity.
Joseph is not going to pit those countries but a group of guys who want to make money from this, and even if they sell this oil, then they will only quietly store it and wait for it to be sold at the peak time.
A simple sale of storage allowed the Principality of Nord to earn a profit of about 100 million euros, which was more than 100 million euros than in the past, rather than simply selling 100 million euros of oil.
100 million euros for the construction of more than 1,000 cinemas is sufficient, and even because of the sufficiency of funds, these cinemas can be equipped with the best facilities and the most gorgeous cinema buildings from the start.
A cinema in a small town, of course, will be built according to the local style, and there will be no modern cinema in a wilderness town.
Kuwait is one of the few rich countries in the world. It has always been known as the "Pearl of the Gulf". It has more than $100 billion in assets abroad and hundreds of millions of dollars in major Western industries.
Foreign assets exceed 100 billion US dollars, which is a very terrifying figure, even the current Nord Kingdom is easily incomparable, but with this turmoil, it is believed that if Nord occupies the entire Western European oil market, then the future Nord Kingdom ......
By the end of 1990, oil imports from all of Western Europe had reached 8.235 million barrels. And now that the Nord kingdom produces only more than 10,000 barrels of oil per day, Joseph understands that the time has come for a real oil explosion.
During the Gulf War
At 2 a.m. local time on 17 January 1991, in response to Iraq's refusal to implement Security Council resolution 678, the Multinational Force Air Force launched Operation "Desert" in an air raid on Iraq. The air raids of the US military began to be carried out.
At the same time, Nord announced the discovery of a new oil field in Western Sahara, and the oil production of the Principality of Nord reached 800,000 barrels per day. Then he continued to participate in the Gulf War in a hesitant manner, and the price of oil fluctuated slightly.
In February 1991, the Multinational Force gradually gained an overwhelming advantage and eliminated the Iraqi presence in Kuwait. And at this very time. NORD officially issued a new announcement that a second large oil field has been discovered in Western Sahara, and the oil production of the Nord Kingdom has reached more than 200,000 barrels per day.
Britain and the United States were shocked and slightly commotioned.
On the second day, the Nord Kingdom prepared a New Year's military parade to commemorate Joseph's great Chinese mother. The total number of land forces participating in the military parade reached 10,000, including tank units, missile units, as well as artillery units.
The elite army soldiers walked in front of the door of the Governor's Palace in Western Sahara, and Joseph waved to his soldiers in the Governor's Palace. Advanced Air Force fighters sometimes churn and rotate and sometimes dive rapidly, and the performance of the fighters is clear at a glance.
On the next day, the Moroccan unrest ceased, the soldiers who had been added to the border returned to their original locations, and the Moroccan king prepared to visit the Nord kingdom for a friendly visit.
On 15 February 1991, Iraq announced its willingness to accept Security Council resolution 660 and to withdraw its forces from Kuwait on a conditional basis.
At this time, the Gulf War had come to an end, and many teams, especially the United States, fully demonstrated the advantages and importance of electronic warfare, and at the same time, the advanced technology of the Nord Kingdom also shocked all countries. Of course, it's more of a deterrent.
At this time, the daily oil production of the Nord Kingdom has reached 5 million barrels, and it has successfully signed oil trade contracts with Western European countries, and the Nord Kingdom has 80 billion euros per year in oil revenue alone.
What is the figure of 80 billion euros?
It can be said that the GDP of the Nord Kingdom last year was only 200 billion euros, of course, if this year's 800 million euros are counted, then the GDP of the Nord Kingdom in 1991 may exceed 100 billion euros.
The 100 billion euro world ranking fluctuates between 11 and 15, and its competitors are China, South Korea, Australia, Mexico and the Netherlands.
The world's top 10 economies are a threshold, and there is not much difference between the top 10 economies, but more than 10...... Each of them could be a difference of 100 billion euros or more.
It can be said that there is still a long way to go before the Nord Kingdom enters the top ten, especially compared with Huaxia, the population base itself makes Huaxia stand in an undefeated position, and it is only a matter of time before it enters the top ten or even before. (To be continued......)
