"Oil prices have come down, but we already account for 80 percent of the oil market in Western Europe, and I'm worried that it will cause ...... in the United States."

Joseph, who was squinting, opened his eyes suddenly, then shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, although the Gulf War has just ended, and now the morale of the United States is high, we are not Iraq, and there are many, many obstacles that he wants to encounter for us." ”

It is not Iraq, it is one of the members of the European Union and has considerable influence in the international community, and its military strength is still a mystery, at least it is not weaker than that of Western European countries, and the United States will not start a war so recklessly.

"What about the Soviet side?"

There is not much to discuss about the Gulf War, and it is the Soviet Union that is really worth noting, and this is a major event in the world, because it represents the official hegemony of the United States over the world.

"It's not good, some members of the KGB want to get our asylum, and at the same time, some countries in Eastern Europe are in frequent contact with us in the hope of getting our approval."

"Agree to their request, our Ministry of Internal Affairs needs these elite intelligence officers, and at the same time the collapse of the Soviet Union is imminent, and it is in our interests to befriend these Eastern European countries, there is a saying in the East......"

"The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow!"

∞ "Smith, it seems that you have some insights into Huaxia. ”

Joseph was really surprised that Smith could say such a thing.

"There is no way, there are a lot of Nordic Chinese, and if you want to get the support of their votes, it is essential to understand some Chineseization."

Joseph laughed dumbly, it turns out that the prime minister's ballot system still has this effect.

A few days later, news came from the Ministry of the Interior that Sierra Leone was in civil war.

Sierra Leone is located in the middle of Africa, on the western coast, bordered by the small countries of Liberia and Guinea, and is a place of political ambiguity.

One of the sides of the civil war was the Revolutionary United Front united with Charles. Taylor's Liberian National Patriotic Front was launched, while the other side was the President of Sierra Leone, Joseph Brown. Momo.

The leader of the Revolutionary United Front was former Army Corporal Foday. Sankoh, he waved the banner of "opposition to dictatorship" and "democratic reform". When leading the RUF rebellion, he had every reason to win widespread support - many Sierra Leoneans were deeply disappointed by the incompetence of successive governments in the military coups, and secretly sympathized with and supported Sankoh.

On the other side of the union Charles. Taylor is a former president of Liberia and a dictator of military leaders. It is difficult to imagine a leader of the Revolutionary United Front under the banner of "anti-dictatorship" and "democratic reform" mixed with the dictator of another country, and it can be seen that all propaganda is false and only interests are real.

Charles. Taylor, one of Africa's most prominent warlords during the Liberian civil war in the early 1990s, was elected president after the civil war, but was forced into exile soon after.

This is a greedy guy who once pocketed more than $10,000 during his presidency, and this time helped Foday. Sankoh, he clearly has his own interests.

Sierra Leone is like most of the former colonial African countries. Since gaining independence from the former British colonial rule in 1961, it has been a rocky road, both politically and economically.

Military coup has become the main way of state power change, dictatorship, and the first atmosphere is getting worse day by day; The rich benefits of the rich natural and mineral resources of the single economic structure are always concentrated in the hands of a few; The prosperity of the central cities contrasts sharply with the closed and backward countryside, and the dissatisfaction of the countryside with the cities is deepening. As long as someone takes the lead, there is no need to worry that no one will rise up to respond to the rebellion.

Sierra Leone is rich in diamonds and is a well-known source of "blood diamonds", so many foreign forces are also very interested in Sierra Leone. Each country has its own power in this place.

Because of the civil war in neighbouring Liberia, the Sankoh-led insurgency has a convenient source of weapons. In the early days, the RUF focused its activities on rural areas, and under the pretext that corruption had thrown the country's economy into a mess, the group vowed to "drive the military regime out of the capital, Freetown." and the complete eradication of the presidential electoral system".

The civil war in Sierra Leone is a matter for Africa, and the Nord kingdom has considerable influence in Africa, and it is the population of Sierra Leone that makes Joseph most jealous.

Sierra Leone is a small country, but it has a population of 60,000. Most of them are young and middle-aged, and they are the labor force that is urgently needed in the Nord Kingdom.

Under these circumstances, Joseph consulted urgently with the Cabinet Government, and then ships under trade contracts came to the Sierra Leone area. President Joseph. Momo was very kind to the reception.

Meeting Room of the Presidential Palace in Freetown

"Mr. Schumann, do you mean that the Nord Kingdom is willing to support us with a large number of advanced weapons and does not need a diamond mortgage?"

"That's right, we just want to be able to recruit some young laborers, about 200,000 people, and if we can, then this light weapon worth 100 million euros will be delivered to the harbour strip within two weeks."

"Two hundred thousand laborers?"

"Yes, but we need Sierra Leonean citizens to go voluntarily because it's a long time, and if they want to, they can bring their dependents, but the associated costs need to be deducted from their future paychecks."

Joseph. Mo Mo was a little distracted and a cup of coffee, thinking about it, felt that this matter was not a big disadvantage for himself, although it would cause some turmoil to himself, but for Foday. Isn't that true for Sankoh?

In particular, he relied on the regular army, and Foday. Sankoh relied on the power of citizens, and if he reduced the number of citizens in the area he now controlled, it might still be a good thing for himself.

"May we have a happy cooperation."

"Happy working together!"

Joseph. Momo was very happy, because he felt that he had exchanged worthless manpower for a batch of sophisticated weapons, and Schumann was also very happy, because he had exchanged a batch of worthless weapons for the labor that the Nord Kingdom lacked the most.

As long as the population of the Nord Kingdom does not reach 10 million, then it will never dislike its large population, after all, there are still many idle places in the vast desert, and they need the population to develop and live.

The heavy industry in the Nord Kingdom began to develop, not to mention the rest, even the Audi company directly led to the number of jobs as many as hundreds of thousands, not to mention that there are some steel mills and shipyards in the Nord Kingdom, iron engineering teams, and transportation groups......

There is no scarcity of jobs in the Nord Kingdom, and even everything is in demand, even if the population is growing rapidly every year, but those are some newborns, and there is no help for the labor force that is needed.

The salary problem, a new era has come, and the salary of the Nord Kingdom has also increased a lot, and even the annual salary of employees in some companies has reached more than one cup in the past.

According to statistics, the average annual salary of citizens of the Nord Kingdom has exceeded 16,000, which is really average, with 85 out of 15,000 citizens and the remaining 15 out of 16,000.

And more than fifteen of these are state civil servants and engineers, which is the highest income group in the Nord Kingdom, even if it is an ordinary small-town civil servant, his annual income is in the middle and upper class of the whole country.

The citizens of the Nord Kingdom have a rich nightlife every day, working during the day, and most of them choose to play games at home, go out to watch movies, go shopping, browse various landscapes, play in leisure squares, or listen to open-air music.

Because of the more money in hand, they will choose to go to farther places on Saturdays and Sundays, especially during the winter and summer vacations, there are many Nord tourists and more citizens who go out, and countries can be said to be frequently competing for signing travel contracts with the Nord Kingdom, after all, the citizens of the Nord Kingdom are famous for their high spending on going out.

It is said that a Nord citizen traveled to China, and because he saw some beautiful handicrafts that were very cheap, he actually spent thousands of euros to buy a dozen boxes and ship them back to the Nord Kingdom.

It turned out that she was doing the right thing, because when she returned to the Nord Kingdom, these ornaments brought her tens of thousands of euros in profits, which can be regarded as windfall profits.

What is the most valuable thing about the Nord Kingdom? Not a machine but a handmade product, the Nord Kingdom is a country that respects the fruits of labor, and every hard-earned object can be bought here for tens or even tens of euros.

How much is a dozen or a few tens of euros equivalent to? The currency converted into Huaxia is sixty or a few yuan, how much is a handmade ornament in Huaxia? Just a few corners.

The profit in this is as high as a dozen or even dozens of times, and it is not impossible for a thousand euros to become tens of thousands of euros, nor is it hype or exaggeration.

Weekends are also sometimes the least popular time for Nord citizens, as the week's bills come with paychecks, as well as phone bills, utility bills, pension bills, and so on.

Unlike some of the more savvy citizens who do the math and are happy to have the remaining two euros, they find themselves in debt with no balance.

Nord Royal Bank is very lenient for citizens, as long as you have a job, you will not be paid attention to even a few euros owed in your bank card, but if you have more, it is different......

The Nord Kingdom only owns one bank, the Nord Royal Bank, so most of the Nord citizens only have a bank card, and salaries, taxes, utilities, pensions, etc. will appear and deduct in it, so most of the citizens get their salaries after deducting the utility tax.

The bill proves that if there is a mistake, he can go to the local court to file a lawsuit, but in such a situation, the citizen is very happy, because the victory of the lawsuit can finally get him compensation ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of euros. (To be continued......)

ps: Thank you for the first pity, the same reward and monthly pass, add a new chapter today, and there will be more today! (The only thing I can do)
