Chapter 204: Glacier Reclamation
January 1, 1989, the Spring Festival of the Gregorian calendar. οΌ
On this day, the United States and Canada signed a free trade agreement, which has a significant impact on the North American economy.
On January 19, the Soviet Union announced that the Soviet Union would withdraw its troops from Eastern Europe. This was the beginning of the fatigue of the Soviet Union, which, in combination with the actions of the United States, began to usher in the era of global hegemony by the United States.
Of course, for the Nord principality, these things are far from being taken care of.
The cancellation of a large number of trades, although the Duchy of Nord suffered heavy losses, but at the same time it also gave the Duchy of Nord a chance to prove its international status, and no one saw the importance of the Duchy of Nord during normal trade, but at this time, ......
The luxury shopping malls in various countries are very poor, the black market is extremely rampant, and the things that used to be seven or eight hundred dollars have grown to thousands, and no one can guarantee that there is no element of the Nord principality in them.
The status of Western Sahara in the Principality of Nord is also becoming more and more important, it is a raw material, processing base, Nord itself is the caliber of foreign trade, of course, the current trade is private.
A lot of international companies cancel trade? No problem, we're not rare!
The big ones are not small, and the small ones are frantically pouring in, but in just half a month, the luxury markets of various countries have undergone great changes, and the previous giants have been replaced by new merchants.
If Nord did not open the market, then they were very afraid of the silent resistance of various countries, and could only find a way to compromise in exchange for the qualification to continue to enter the market, but now ......
It's useless for you to block it, because there are too many people inside who want to gush out, and the strongest castle can be easily opened from the inside, and there will be losses, but it is not as terrifying as it seems.
For the part of the loss, the Principality of Nord began to regulate oil prices and grain prices, and this regulation made Nord's economy stabilize quickly, even if it was to reduce some salaries and most of the employees, there was no opinion.
Western Sahara is about 266,000 square kilometers, and now the oasis covers about 8. Around 000 km, for more than 800,000 citizens who are only here, such an oasis area is enough.
Some of the organic farms that Nord began to migrate to almost did not occupy oases, and they all cultivated their own soil, using desert land like cities and factories.
If the planning is completed, the grain of the Principality of Nord will account for about 6% of the world's share, and the Nord grain is highly nutritious, pesticide-free, and tastes good, and there is no concern about competition.
Joseph wanted to do nothing else. It's not about controlling the world through food, and he understands that it's impossible and naΓ―ve, but he hopes to use food to increase his influence in Africa, so as to ......
Western Sahara is a large industrial base, and there may not be many millionaires and multimillionaires here, but its role in the Duchy of Nord is self-evident.
The Principality of Nord has unveiled a new technology, glacier reclamation. The power of the glacier was used to stabilize the foundation, and then more than 10 meters of soil was laid, which was much less economical than other reclamations. Of course, this technology is still being experimented.
It is said to be an experiment, but it is an indisputable fact that the Nord mainland has increased to 500 square kilometers. Of course, no one understands that this is not a glacial reclamation technique, but a cover for the construction of the system.
American imperialism is about to be born. It's not wise to show some of your differences and make your presence feel like you're at this time, but if the Duchy of Nord announces a few more defense systems and attack methods that are sufficient to protect itself, will it still be dangerous?
In fact, things are not so troublesome at all, and Joseph is also a bit of a philistine. At the moment when the Principality of Nord successfully detonated the atomic bomb in the no-man's land of Western Sahara, the Principality of Nord was already in a position of absolute security, and unless it was an internal riot, the Principality of Nord would always be invincible.
For the newly added land. Joseph wanted to slowly remove some of the organic farms on the island and move here, but after thinking about it, he gave up!
Western Sahara will be the main food base, processing base, and raw material base of NORD in the future, and NORD will develop into a modern metropolis, and some companies such as clothing design, software studios, and financial companies with small land and elite employees will be left in NORD itself.
The islands remain as they are, but they have eliminated organic farms and pastures, and they have mainly developed ecological forests, fruit trees, and playgrounds, and have tried to create the islands as a place for recreation and tourism.
In the next year, the Principality of Nord will turn it into a shopping paradise and a major gathering place for luxury goods, with five-star hotels, six-star hotels, New Century Towers, high-end office buildings, theaters, and large stadiums being the mainstream, and the previous low-rent houses and dilapidated apartments will all be demolished.
The 500-square-kilometer Nord mainland would have no problem accommodating a million people, of course, for many years, but Joseph was not at all worried.
There is no reason why the port city is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Nord has always maintained a population of more than 100,000. Although, the conditions for immigration in the Duchy of Nord are strict.
There are too many things, Joseph is busy and his feet don't touch the ground, he needs LAN coverage, he needs to visit satellite launches, Kate's affairs need his attention, and even Gao Jingxuan was forgotten by Joseph for a while.
More than half a month after the incident of Gao Jingxuan's deputy chief engineer, Joseph, who was looking at the new pattern of new city construction in the study, raised his eyes and happened to see Gao Jingxuan standing there with a light smile.
"Sorry, it's ...... time"
"I understand, out there...... Obviously, and I'm sorry, both of your things have to do with me. β
Joseph naturally understood what she was referring to, and the report of the Royal Entertainment Daily was also within the scope of the media's public opinion clearance, but because of her relationship with Joseph, the responsible personnel finally handed over the matter to Joseph.
It's just a trivial matter, even if the Royal Entertainment Daily doesn't broadcast it, it can't be avoided, the matter was naturally put aside by Joseph, if it wasn't for Gao Jingxuan to mention it, it is estimated that he would have forgotten about it.
"Sit, how are things handled?"
Not wanting to continue that topic, Joseph directly talked about the funeral, and for half a month, there was no reason for the inappropriate placement.
"Well, it's all taken care of, and his mother has returned to Germany."
In fact, there is no need for Gao Jingxuan Joseph to know that this is the result, when he was not so busy, he also participated in it and quietly helped Gao Jingxuan a little.
Gao Jingxuan's German mother-in-law is not a beneficial character, without the quiet coercion and temptation of the Security Bureau, she can easily leave the Nord Principality? The answer, of course, is no.
"So, what are your plans?"
"Keep working, and then think about leaving here, after all, Taipei is my home."
Joseph nodded and did not speak immediately.
"Maybe you'll leave after a while, so come and have dinner with me here tonight!"
Gao Jingxuan naturally would not refuse, this is something that others can't ask for.
"I'll go back and change my clothes......"
"It's just the two of us, there's no need, and you're ...... It's beautiful. β
A white knitted sweater, a small dark dress, brown pony boots, and long hair wavy down her chest, although her figure is not obvious, she has full feminine charm.
Joseph, who hadn't touched a woman for a while, was really a little depressed, but he didn't think much about it, after all, the busyness of things gave him enough headaches.
"Let's go outside tonight!"
Looking at the still piled up of official business, Joseph really had a headache, so he decided to stay away from here and eat happily.
Gao Jingxuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and she didn't want to be in the palace, after all, it was too depressing for her here, and there were many rules, although Joseph didn't restrict, but there were servants who would stand aside, so it was strange that she was comfortable.
It was not early to see that it was dark, Joseph picked up the mask and the two went out together, the guards wanted to prepare a car, but Joseph refused, it was just dinner, he and Gao Jingxuan could drive there alone.
said that he was alone, but in fact, he was secretly protected by guards, and it was an eventful time at this time, and even Joseph did not dare to joke with his life.
I didn't choose a Chinese restaurant but a Western restaurant, I asked for two cups of coffee at will, looking at the elegant environment and a few scattered guests, this is a rare place to relax and relax.
"What have you been thinking lately? Do you have any insights into life? β
Joseph was ridiculing, but who would have thought that Gao Jingxuan would really nod: "There are indeed some insights, marriage is the most insecure thing, and even a restriction." β
A very real idea is just a piece of paper, and there are almost no real constraints, and even if there are them, they are limits. The constraints and limitations may seem the same, but they are not.
"What do you want to do?"
"Find a reliable man, even if he doesn't have a name."
Gao Jingxuan looked at Joseph as she spoke, not knowing why Joseph felt that she meant something.
"You want to go back to Taipei?"
"It's just considering, it's not decided yet, are you willing to let me go?"
The topic is a little wrong, Joseph feels that he should not continue to stay, he naturally has a good impression of Gao Jingxuan, and her appearance and figure are up to standard in all aspects, but ...... This is his friend, some things can be done, some things can't, and this is within the scope of Joseph's inability.
"Taipei is not bad, and the future of development is also very good......
"You want me to leave?"
At this moment, Gao Jingxuan's eyes were very sharp, so sharp that Joseph couldn't help but dodge slightly, but soon he looked directly again, because he was the Grand Duke of Nord.
"The steak here is good, you can try it."
Joseph's direct gaze Gao Jingxuan couldn't bear it, so she borrowed the steak served by the waiter to interrupt Joseph's gaze, this restaurant was her recommendation, and familiarity was natural. (To be continued......) u
