In 1988, Joseph was 16 years old, and according to the employment system in Western Sahara at this time, he could already work at the age of 16, which was considered an adult in the desert.

The economic system of Western Sahara is too weak, and the inhabitants here do not know how to limit the population, resulting in two to five or six children per family and family, one is easy to feed, two are barely enough but four or five......

It is their necessary responsibility to drop out of school at the age of 16 to help their family reduce their financial burden, and they must not starve to death for one child to go to school! This has nothing to do with tuition, and it is normal for one less laborer to starve to death.

In response to the situation in some parts of Western Sahara, the Nord cabinet had to find a way to cater to them, and the three- and six-month accelerated courses were once again in Western Sahara, the first crash course since the Nord economy stabilized.

The education system in Western Sahara has also changed somewhat, with five years of primary school, two years of secondary school, and the average secondary school graduate is 15 years old, and they basically have a technical secondary school education level of about half a year.

The salary of an apprentice with a secondary school degree can basically support a younger brother and sister, and if he becomes a regular worker after half a year, then it is not a problem to support four or five people, which is to sacrifice one to support other brothers and sisters.

The Principality of Nord will not treat these young people who have sacrificed for their families, after all, it is because of them that more people have the ability and time to go to school, and improve the level of education in the Nord West Sahara. NORD has relevant awards, and there are certain preferential treatment in the future, whether it is to go back to school or start a business independently.

At the beginning of January 1988, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong City exerted its power and the second generation of the Chiang family on Taiwan Island died, the Principality of Nord announced the discovery of oil fields in Western Sahara, the exact reserves and location of which were unknown, but even this caused an uproar, because Nord more than tripled the amount of oil exported in 1988.

In 1987, NORD exported about 80,000 barrels of oil per day, a threefold increase, which means that this year NORD will export more than 250,000 barrels per day, according to the current price of 20 euros per barrel, the oil trade alone can bring 5 million euros per day, and 1.8 billion euros a year is close to 2 billion euros.

Taking stock of the Ragnar royal family's stake in various Nord industries, Joseph may be able to compete for the title of the richest man in the world this year, although this thing is not good for Joseph.

The Kingdom of Morocco is very interested in the oil fields of Western Sahara, but they understand that at this time Western Sahara can no longer be recovered, and the only thing they can do is to get some more benefits from it, such as taking some oil and other resources at a low price.

In mid-January, a training camp appeared in the depths of the Western Sahara Desert - the Western Sahara Devil's Training Camp, where the first generation of Nord's real special forces will be trained, and the guards of the Security Bureau will also train here.

The Devil's Training Camp in Western Sahara is exclusive to the Principality of Nord, and they will not be open to the public, although if an ally with better international relations asks for it, then it is not impossible to make an exception.

You can catch sharks in the sea, you can fight tigers when you go ashore, and you can fight brown bears with your bare hands in the primeval forest, this is what Joseph expects from them, and the graduates of the Devil's Training Camp in Western Sahara are no longer people, but groups of brutes and perverts, this is Joseph's original words!

The Western Sahara Devil Training Camp is a product of the system, from the beginning to the present Joseph has never doubted the ability of the system, at the beginning of his construction, it seems that he has seen one by one devil muscle men standing in front of him, forming the most powerful shield to protect him and the members of Ragnar.

At the end of January, the first Nord Motorsport Championship opened, Audi, Bugatti Veyron are the most popular car choice, since the acquisition of Bentley and Bugatti Veyron, Nord added Maserati, Porsche two brands, they have one thing in common, both because of the oil crisis, business mistakes almost led to bankruptcy.

The 80s were almost the end of the vehicle, many luxury cars and giant companies collapsed because of this, and the 90s was their new dawn, but at that time, the auto giants had already divided their own territory, and it was difficult for the newly born companies to seize the survival space.

Joseph will leave for Cambridge University in the United Kingdom in September, and before that time he will have his affairs in order, and Kate has taken over some of Joseph's responsibilities, and although he is still a little sluggish in handling official duties, he is generally good.

This year is also a year of great changes in Nord's state-owned enterprises, such as Nord Royal Petroleum Company, Nord Royal Heavy Industries Group, Nord Royal Bank, Nord Royal Media Company, Apple Computer Company, Microsoft Corporation, these large and small core and potential companies will usher in a state of management change.

Apple Computer and Microsoft are even better, they are new companies after all, and some of the management have only been in office for a year, but Nord Royal Petroleum and several groups and companies in heavy industry need to change a little.

First of all, Royal Oil, because of the increase in production and will continue to increase in the future, the current president is no longer able to lead it, and it is imperative to change the manager.

The current president of Royal Petroleum graduated from a general petroleum university in France, and before becoming president, he was only a middle-level cadre of a French oil company, and the then Minister of Commerce Smith had no choice, so he was appointed as the president of Royal Petroleum, but now he is ......

The Nord cabinet and the royal family are not ungrateful, his merits and hard work are in his eyes, although there is no progress in his hands Royal Oil, but at least there is no major mistake, and it is barely qualified to be promoted to the post of deputy minister of commerce.

Royal Heavy Industries is different from Royal Oil, and it needs to be transferred because Royal Heavy Industries is developing rapidly, far beyond the imagination of Joseph and the cabinet.

Royal Heavy Industries has always contributed considerable and excellent managers, and two of the cabinet members came from Royal Heavy Industries, but now it should be three, former Minister of Commerce Rupert is about to be transferred to the Ministry of Education as Minister of Education, and Robert is going to be transferred to the Ministry of Commerce as Minister of Commerce.

It was not the president but some other senior officials who changed the Nord Royal Bank and the media company, several of whom were personally ordered by Kate, and Joseph also agreed to this with great face, but no one knew that the Minister of the Interior Andy had these personnel firmly in mind and was the first target of investigation.
