The curtain of the game industry has been opened.,It's time for personal computers next.,But this is a little early.,It's okay to go public within five years.,After all, Altair won't appear until fifteen years later.,It's too early to get it out now.,Ten years in advance.,This can ensure Daming's monopoly in this field.。

In fact, the key to this thing is the processor, as long as you control the pace of development of the microprocessor of the Pentium company, anyway, now the Pentium company in this field is at a loss, and the height is unbearable, and even the back can not see a chaser. IBM and other major computer manufacturers in the United States are forming an alliance to fight this Tyrannosaurus Rex, but what they can desperately catch up with at present is only the Pentium 360, the earliest Pentium 360 of the Pentium company, and the microprocessor is completely legendary for them, after all, all they can play with now is the printed circuit board.

While Führer Yang was busy with the development of his information industry, the warring parties in the Middle East finally signed an armistice in Karachi.

The Kingdom of Najd withdrew from all the territories of the former Kingdom of Hejaz, withdrew from the territory obtained from the Kingdom of Yemen in the Treaty of Taif that year, and compensated the countries for their military expenses of 3 billion dragon yuan, to be paid in 30 years, with interest calculated. But a billion must be paid in the next two years, and until the billion dollars are paid, the Jordanian and Hejaz forces will continue to maintain their occupation of Buraidah and Hail, and when Najd pays them the money, they will withdraw from these two places. As for the occupation of the Sekakai oasis by the Rashid family, this Najd will resolutely not admit it, of course they will not admit it, and that is it, anyway, the Jordanians will not take the initiative to withdraw their troops from there. Let's keep this place for controversy!

This armistice. It can be regarded as the ...... for the third Middle East war

It should be said that it has been marked with a ton.

Everyone knows that there will be no end to this kind of war. The Najd people are just not strong enough to defeat their opponents, and they cannot accept the result of losing half of their country and carrying 30 years of reparations, and they will definitely regain their lost territory when they have enough strength. In the same way, the three countries of Hejaz, Jordan, and Yemen could not guard such a huge piece of fat without swallowing, they only ate too much this time, and it took some time to digest it, and when they finished digesting the land they had occupied. The next step will definitely be to focus on the raging crude oil of the Persian Gulf.

Peace is only temporary.

But for Najd, now they are immediately faced with a very serious problem, where do they find a billion dragon dollars to pay the three kingdoms of the Hejaz?

Now the international oil price is 0.8 million yuan a barrel, that is, one dollar a barrel, this price has been maintained for two years, and because the export volume of the Soviet Union continues to increase, there is a continuing downward trend, which means that Najd needs to extract 150 million tons of crude oil to exchange for one billion dragon dollars. And last year they produced 50 million tons, which means three years, but the problem is that they only get half of the oil profits. The other half is in Chevron's hands, so they have at least six years. But their share of the oil profits has to be done for something else. After losing half of the country, they will not be able to feed the rest of the population with the remaining territory, let alone have to massively expand their military forces in order to cope with the next war that is bound to occur.

So they had to borrow money and borrow money from Eisenhower.

Ike wanted to borrow, but he was ruthlessly vetoed in Congress, the reason for the Democratic-controlled Congress is very simple, no money, really no money, not deliberately difficult for you, we really have no money, all the money is used for military expansion, arms race, maintaining the war between the Japanese and Annam, how can there be money for Najd, not to mention that one billion dragon dollars is not a decimal, that is more than a billion dollars.

Besides, as long as people don't want dollars, if it's dollars, grit their teeth and let the Federal Reserve print it, but where can I find it? Not to mention the United States finance, even the Federal Reserve does not have it, the Federal Reserve has also saved more than a billion dragon dollars over the years, but they have been exchanged for gold coins, although the Ming Dynasty has strict control over the years, and gold cannot be shipped out, but the Federal Reserve is still replaced by gold and stored in the vault in the Ming Dynasty.

Is it possible for the Fed to send gold to the Imperial Bank for banknotes?

Anyway, taking dollar bills to the Imperial Bank will definitely not be able to exchange the dragon dollar bills, and Yang Feng is not stupid, how can he let the Federal Reserve exchange the banknotes they printed for the banknotes he printed, and then use the banknotes he printed to exchange for the gold in his vault.

In this way, Najd's way of borrowing money from the United States was completely broken.

All that remains is for Chevron to continue to increase production capacity to more than 100 million tons a year.

But Chevron has stopped doing it, and now there is a serious oversupply of international crude oil, especially the dumping of low-priced crude oil in the Soviet Union, which has forced them to misery, and if they continue to increase production capacity, they will fall into an even more vicious competition, constantly pulling down oil prices to the point of tears. And it would require much larger investment, and Aramco has discovered a lot of oil fields, but they don't come out of the ground on their own, especially those offshore fields, which require a large investment, and this investment is for Chevron to pay for itself.

Are those investors on the New York Stock Exchange stupid?

Besides, even if it is an investment, it cannot be completed in a short period of time, and it is not so easy to double the output.

What's more, judging from the previous war situation, this investment is not necessarily insured, counting on Najd itself will definitely not be able to defeat the Three Kingdoms of Hejaz, and the US military will not be able to defeat the Ming army, and the US government will not be able to do more for Chevron, even if they want to do the common people, they will not agree, in short, Chevron's assets in Najd are very unsafe, so those investors are even less interested in additional investment.

In the end, everyone understands that the water of Najd is very deep, and it is difficult to say what will happen to this country in the end, this war is to put it bluntly, Daming and Mi are fighting for control of Najd oil, and now the first round has just ended, and the Mi people have lost, and they have lost very badly, so can they turn the tables in the second round? It's hard to say, at least from the current situation, there is not much hope, this is the same as betting on boxing, two boxers on the stage just finished the first game, one of them was beaten all over the ground to find teeth, then the gamblers who originally bet on this boxer, the best way is not to continue to bet on him, but it is best to wait and see, if you continue to go crazy and continue to bet, it will become a fool.

Najd is indeed about the national strategy of the United States, but what is the matter with investors? They only care about whether their investments are insured.

If the U.S. military can get to a draw with the Ming army in this game, then Chevron's shareholders will grit their teeth and gamble, but Nima, let people directly lose miserably, so how dare we invest? Although Eisenhower personally helped to persuade him, Chevron still resolutely did not invest more to expand production capacity, and Eisenhower was about to step down, and he did not know what the Democratic Party's Middle East policy would be after he stepped down! Besides, no matter what, it is impossible for the Mi government to fight a larger-scale war with Yang Feng for their interests, and Chevron's energy has not reached this point.

In this way, Chevron's path is also broken.

The only European countries that have the ability to provide loans for Najd are left, but European countries will not be in this troubled water, and the reason why this indemnity is designated as a dragon yuan instead of dollars has already been drawn for Najd, at this time, whoever stirs up the situation is to provoke Yang Feng, and European countries are not interested.

After a final round of tossing, King Najd found himself with only one choice.

"Borrowing money? This is a very complicated question! ”

Yang Feng said with a melancholy face.

"Your Excellency, we can borrow from the Imperial Bank at a relatively high interest rate."

Prince Khalid of Najd said.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the Imperial Bank was a usury? Imperial Bank is a law-abiding bank, and usury is illegal in Daming. ”

Yang Feng's face sank and said.

"Well, then, Your Excellency, what exactly do you need to provide us with this loan?"

Prince Khalid said humiliatingly, he knew very well how much compensation Najd needed to pay, and what kind of compensation to pay, was designated by the guy in front of him, and he was the mastermind behind the war that killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, including his two younger brothers, but even so, they had to accompany him to beg him with a smile.

"Conditions, we are all cheerful people, I will say it bluntly, I can lend you a billion dragon dollars, but in order to ensure that peace in the Middle East is not affected, this money must be stored in the Imperial Bank, when you decide to pay the reparations to the Three Kingdoms of the Hejaz in the future, then the Imperial Bank will pay them directly, which means that this loan cannot be given to you at your disposal.

Second, the loan is repaid at the normal interest, and then you pay 80 percent of the market price for crude oil, of course, your crude oil must be of good quality, but not less than 30 million tons per year, until you pay it all. ”

Yang Feng said.

He lent Najd a billion dragon dollars, and then paid it to the Three Kingdoms of the Hejaz, who in turn gave him the money for arms and the loan for the restoration of the country to the Hejaz, so that in fact the money was basically turned around in various accounts, and the whole process was completed without even leaving the warehouse of the Imperial Bank.

But for at least six years, the Najd people will have to supply the Ming with 30 million tons of crude oil per year, and they won't get a penny for that crude oil.

Such a game Yang Yuan is the favorite to play.

"Yes."

Prince Khalid gritted his teeth and said.

For them, the most important thing now is to recover Buraidai and Hail, end this war, and the reparations from the three countries of the Hejaz are limited to the Dragon Yuan, which is already an inevitable result, and now they can only accept their fate.

"Your Excellency, can we buy arms from your country?"

He then asked tentatively.

"Arms? No, you have troops stationed there, which is enough to ensure your safety, and if we sell you arms again, it will have an impact on regional peace and stability, and this kind of thing will definitely not work. ”

"What if we don't have a garrison on our soil?"

"That needs to be considered separately, my principle is very simple, everything is for the peace of the Middle East, the two sides are currently in a balance of power, so there is an armistice agreement, if we sell you arms again, it will break the balance of power, and if the US troops withdraw from your country, it will also break the balance of power, at that time, in order to restore this balance, I can consider providing you with some help."

Yang Feng said seriously.

Well, Prince Khalid is relieved that Führer Yang is not ready to exterminate Najd. (To be continued.) )
