On August 1, 1989, Japan's foreign exchange reserves ranked first in the world. 『頂『『『,

A number of Japanese and Nord collaborations have been reached, with a large number of Japanese AV films coming to Nord across the ocean, and at the same time, Nord Microsoft has reached a project strategy with several Nintendo game companies in Japan to develop PC games. Of course, the Nord side dominates it.

On August 0, Iran and Iraq formally ceasefired, ending the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.

The Iran-Iraq war still has a heavy impact on the Nord principality, mainly in terms of oil, the Iran-Iraq war allowed the Nord principality to occupy 13% of the market share in Western Europe, seriously hindering the economic development of the Middle East oil-exporting countries, but for the Nord principality, this is an important one.

France and Spain are important oil importers, especially France, which is close to 5 million barrels per day, and Spain is slightly worse but also around 50-4 million barrels.

Nord's oil wells have increased dramatically, but now they are producing only 1.5 million barrels per day, but according to the Nord cabinet, next year, in 1990, the Principality will be able to export 3 million barrels of oil.

The result of such an announcement is that even if the Iran-Iraq war ends, some oil-importing countries in Western Europe will not increase their trade quotas, and they will leave the quota for imports to Nord, after all, whether in terms of distance or other aspects, the Nord principality is their best choice.

How much is three million barrels of oil? 30 million euros a day, more than 10 billion euros a year, even if some mining costs are removed, the rest has a profit of one billion euros.

There is no doubt that NORD Royal Petroleum will occupy an important share and position in the international community in the future, and Joseph has no doubt about this.

The Nord royal family owns 70 percent of the shares of the Royal Petroleum Company, which is one of the few companies that is not listed on the Nord market, and the remaining 30 percent is in the hands of the government.

Since Joseph's decision to lease 20 percent of the shares of the state-owned enterprises to the Nord cabinet, Joseph's Forbes rich ranking has been significantly lowered, but with the strong rise of the Nord Royal Petroleum Company. It's only a matter of time before the richest man in the world gets back in, but ......

Twenty percent of Nord Royal Petroleum's shares have mysteriously changed hands, and it is said that the owner of the shares is a Chinese woman who studied at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom and likes to be called a countess by alumni.

By the time the news was reported around the world, it was October 1989, and there was no more earl's earl at Cambridge University in the autumn, but there was an extra countess here.

Li Han perfectly replaced everything Joseph had at Cambridge University, including his identity, status, and influence in the circle, and her wealth of 50 million pounds was enough for her to stand firm in her position at this time.

And as she was found pregnant. When tens of billions of euros worth of shares were delivered to her as gifts, the name Li Han began to appear frequently in major newspapers around the world.

It's beautiful. ——This is Kate's evaluation of Li Han.

It's not bad, it looks like it's very easy to get along with - this is Gao Jingxuan's evaluation.

Joseph has only had three women so far, and the three women are all very shameful to give birth to bloodlines for him, although after testing, the guy in Li Han's belly is likely to be a girl.

Girls are not bad, Britain no longer restricts women from inheriting titles, Joseph already has two sons (the child in Gao Jingxuan's belly has been determined to be a boy), and now it is not bad to have an extra girl.

Fortunately, no media knew that the 20 percent of the oil group shares were given to the child in Li Han's womb, otherwise the title of the richest woman in Europe would be firmly worn on the guy who has not yet been born.

The media always likes to do all kinds of firsts to attract people's attention. Although it was indeed useful, Joseph began to feel a little disgusted with the number one title on his body.

For the next period of time, nothing major happened, such as the British prince accompanying the princess to visit Hong Kong City, the establishment of the Asia-Pacific Cooperative Economic Organization, the successful breakthrough of a virus researched by American hackers into the Pentagon, and the meeting between the President of the United States and the leaders of the Soviet Union. Something that symbolizes the end of the Cold War.

Although these are more influential in the world, they have no impact on the Nord principality, and the development continues, oil exploration continues, and PC game production continues.

At the end of 1989 and the beginning of 1990, Prime Minister Nordjames officially stepped down from the post of Prime Minister of Nord. Home Secretary Smith served as the third Prime Minister of the Duchy of Nord after World War II.

On January 1, the new Prime Minister Smith went to the Nord Palace under the live broadcast of the media to meet with the Nord Grand Convention Cerf and the Nord Crown Prince Charlie in person. Joseph. Ragnar. (Kate isn't a princess yet.) Unable to attend. ）

In the live broadcast, Joseph gave the new prime minister some blessings very kindly, and also hoped that he could be loyal to his duties and loyal to the monarch and patriotism during his tenure, of course, this is a rough translation of Chinese, but in fact, the original words are not so.

The succession of the new Prime Minister of Nord still has a certain impact on the Principality of Nord, and the cabinet members have not changed much, but the governing philosophy has begun to be tougher, and Smith and the former Prime Minister James have completely different attitudes towards some domestic and foreign trade, economic and military cooperation.

It's understandable that James was a Nord palace steward, and he was humble, gentlemanly, and didn't like too many arguments, which led him to make concessions and concessions for showing national tolerance during his reign, and the same would never have happened to Smith, as the acting prime minister had shown for some time.

The price agreed in the trade between Spain and Nord was 19 per barrel, but with Smith's succession, the price was instantly raised to 0, and the Spanish government was dissatisfied, but Smith ignored it.

The same thing happened about the hijacking of a merchant ship in the Caribbean, and James had been delaying the process, mainly because the other party threatened to either ransom people with money or take away the corpses.

The money had been given to the other side but the other party had not let it go, so James was very hesitant to decide whether to arrange military activities or continue to send money to the other party, but this hesitation did not continue, because Smith had already taken over as prime minister and dealt with the matter first.

"The air force and navy of the Duchy of Nord have always been in a weak state, but now that the navy has begun to bear fruit, I hope to see the day when they have merit."

"This requires the approval of the Ministry of Defense and the permission of the Grand Duke, there is no problem with the Ministry of Defense, but His Majesty ...... Grand Duke"

"Your Majesty also has the same opinion, a show of weakness will only make them think that our Nord is also a weak country, about those hostages, the family will give 100,000 euros!"

What does 100,000 euros mean? It's obvious that it's there, 100,000 euros for a life.

"Wouldn't that have a bad effect?"

James has been Smith's confidential secretary, jumping from the secretary of the Grand Duke of Nord to the secretary of the Prime Minister, which seems to be inferior to the former, but in fact the development potential of this position is really great.

"Bad effects? Let the media of various countries broadcast it casually, and this is what you want. ”

Smith smiled coldly and didn't answer directly, but his attitude had already shown everything, the Duchy of Nord was serious this time and would never back down from anything.

"I believe that the Navy's group of proud soldiers will be very happy."

James didn't have any restraint in front of Smith, and he teasingly left such a sentence and turned away to arrange what Smith commanded.

Proud Soldiers...... That's just His Majesty's arrogant soldiers!

On January 5, Nord Microsoft announced the launch of a new generation of operating systems in 1990 at the Royal Admiralty of Nord in Western Sahara......

"Your Excellency, Commander, warrant from the Ministry of Defense."

"Ministry of Defense? Is there any order from the Grand Duke? ”

This sentence is important, if there is then unconditional execution, but if not...... It is necessary to ask the royal family before making battle arrangements, which is the unspoken rule of the Duchy of Nord after several civil strife.

"There is no Grand Duke's order, but the Ministry of Defense says ......"

"Needless to say, we refuse any military activity without the permission of the Grand Duke."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

……

Nord Ministry of Defense

"Refusal to execute."

A lieutenant general smiled wryly at the Minister of Defense, Admiral Bach. Heisenberg Road.

"Normal, let's contact Your Majesty again! If it really doesn't work, it can be signed by Her Royal Highness Kate. ”

"Her Royal Highness Kate? This ......"

"Forget it, let's continue to contact Your Majesty!"

Suddenly changed his mind because of Bach. Heisenberg understood that the probability of refusal by the naval command of Western Sahara was very high, and there was no reason for His Royal Highness Kate to be humiliated in plain terms.

"Now is not the time to prepare for war urgently, it is useless for us to be in a hurry, we can only wait for His Majesty's instructions."

He understood the mood of his lieutenant general's chief of staff, but he had no choice, unless it was an urgent moment to prepare for war, he had no right to mobilize any army in the Nord principality, although he was nominally the commander of the Nord military and the minister of defense.

Bell bell bell ~

The phone rang, and a hint of joy flashed on the face of the lieutenant general's chief of staff, but it was not Joseph's voice that came from the phone, but the impatient reprimand of Prime Minister Smith.

"Why hasn't the Western Sahara Navy moved yet?"

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but we don't have His Majesty's instructions."

"If you are not instructed...... Not instructed? ”

"Yes, we have not found His Majesty's whereabouts, the Security Bureau will not answer, and we are still waiting."

What can Smith do here? He could only hang up the phone silently, because he could not do anything about it, or it was his fault that he did not greet Joseph in advance, or did not have time to say hello.

"Prime Minister Smith?"

"Well, he forgot that it's not just him who is anxious, it's us."

"Wait!"

At the same time in the coastal villa area, looking at the baby in Gao Jingxuan's arms, Joseph was very happy to tease the guy, he and his brother are completely different personalities, one likes to be quiet, the other loves to laugh, and loves Joseph or loves the second son who likes to be happy with himself.
