Project 10 has taken a solid step, and the Arab world is also making progress towards its own goals. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}

On October 1, 1988, the Arab countries reconvened and decided to establish the Arab Zhongyāng Bank in Saudi Arabia.

The Arabs' own unified currency, named Arab. It operates by the Arab zhongyāng banking system, which consists of the Arab zhongyāng bank and the zhongyāng bank of each of the Arab countries.

Among them, the Arab Zhongyāng Bank is not responsible for issuing currency, but is composed of economic experts from various countries, mainly used to formulate monetary policy, prevent and resist various risks that may arise, while the Zhongyāng Bank of the Ayuan District is involved in the printing, minting and issuance of Ayuan banknotes and coins, and is responsible for the operation of the payment system in Ayuan District.

There are six banknotes, with denominations of 1 Ah Yuan (gray sè), 5 Ah Yuan (yellow sè), 10 Ah Yuan (blue sè), 20 Ah Yuan (orange sè), 50 Ah Yuan (green sè), and 100 Ah Yuan (red sè), which are exchanged with the US dollar at a ratio of one to one. {{}} In this proportion, it is exchanged with various existing currencies in the country.

Among them, the above graphics are all Arabic buildings, although some people proposed to use the heads of the heads of the three countries as pictures, but Qusay politely refused.

Coins, on the other hand, are mainly composed of five types: one cent, two cents, five cents, one dime, and five dimes.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq will all phase out their existing currencies within five years, using the Arabian dollar exclusively, while the rest of the countries will follow their own monetary policies.

Due to the abundance of oil, the plan carried out by the Arab countries has been commented on by the world, but most of the opinions are that the Arab plan can be carried out smoothly because their economies are very developed, they have a lot of foreign exchange reserves, and their ability to withstand external financial turmoil is also very strong.

The Arab world has taken an important step, this progress, so that Europe is very envious, at this time, Europe's "Delors Report" was adopted, the report advocates the creation of a European economic and monetary union in three stages: the first step, the full realization of capital ziyou circulation; The second step is to establish the European Monetary Authority; The third step is to establish and implement an economic and monetary union to replace the currencies of member countries with a single currency. The Europeans were also red-eyed and hastened their own plans to unify their currency.

At this time, the United States is fiercely preparing for the quadrennial presidential election.

On November 8, the presidential election officially began, and after fierce competition, George W. Bush, the two vice presidents of Reagan's presidency, finally won the election, winning 52 percent of the vote.

Reagan's era is coming to an end, and George Bush will have the most glorious moment of his life.

On December 2, just before President Reagan was about to leave office, he traveled to Europe for his last visit as president.

His last stop in Europe was Berlin.

Berlin, the capital of Germany, in the forties was arguably the center of hatred of the whole world, the birthplace of fascism! Nazi Germany trampled its iron hooves all over Europe.

The smoke of the Second World War passed, marked by the liberation of Berlin, and at this time, the defeated country Germany was full of ruins, ruins, dilapidation, and storms. This is the sorrow of all mankind, in this kind of war, there is no winner.

As for the defeated Germany, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union implemented partition occupation, which led to the emergence of the Cold War due to the original ideological differences.

In 1949, with the support of East and West, Germany split into the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of Minzhu. Berlin, on the other hand, was divided into two camps.

In the face of the split, the inhabitants of East Germany continued to pour into West Germany, and the East German Zhèngfu and the Soviet Union finally made a ruthless move, and overnight, built a wall in Berlin, dividing Berlin into two cities.

This is the famous Berlin Wall.

What started out as a barricade surrounded by thistles was later converted into a two-metre-high concrete wall topped with barbed wire. Jing guards are set up at formal intersections and observation towers along the route. Initially built just over 100 kilometers between East and West Berlin, it was expanded over the decades, and by 1980 it had expanded to the entire East and West German border, increasing the wall to a height of three meters, and making up a total of 1,369 kilometers of walls, grids and fortresses. {{}}

The people of East Germany were very resistant to the Berlin Wall, and they used various methods to climb over it.

At the beginning, it was still the number 10 of the thistle fence, and the 19-year-old East German soldier Konrad Schumann strode over the thistle fence with a steel helmet and a spear on his shoulder. The moment was captured by photographer Peter Raybin, who was present at the time, and shocked the world.

After that, all kinds of tricks came out of the way, digging tunnels, jumping off buildings, hot air balloons, driving ramming, and countless East Germans risked their lives to cross the wall.

The Berlin Wall, like a scar in the city of Berlin, pierces the hearts of Germans.

At the end of Paris-Platz and Unter den Linden is one of Berlin's most iconic buildings, the Brandenburg Gate, a special building built by the Prussian kings in the 18th century.

Today, there is a huge crowd of people here, almost 10,000 people in West Berlin, all pouring into the streets, and on the other side of the Berlin Wall in front of the Brandenburg Gate, there are also nearly 10,000 East Germans gathered, knowing that on the other side, US President Ronald Reagan is preparing to make a speech. {{}}

From the outside, it looks as if President Reagan was right in front of the building, and only the bodyguards nearby knew that there were two sides of bulletproof glass behind the president to prevent accidents.

Reagan was born as an actor, which made his speech even more infectious, as if he was like a mustache decades ago, through the megaphone, his voice resounded in the sky.

If there is a war between the two sides, behind the Berlin Wall, the rolling torrent of steel will continue to flow into the entire West.

The speech here is the sharpest social and political statement, and President Reagan began his speech with little need for a speech.

"Now, the Soviets, perhaps, to a certain extent, are beginning to realize the importance of ziyou. We often hear that Moscow is now going to start a new policy of reform and openness; Some political prisoners have been released, some foreign broadcasts have ceased to be disturbed, and the planned economy has been loosened and certain commercial activities have been allowed. Did all this mark the beginning of a radical change in the Soviet system? Or are they just superficial gestures aimed at giving the West unrealistic illusions and further strengthening the Soviet system without changing the substance? ”

Reagan's words made everyone below a little excited, and it was the first time that an American leader had so openly criticized the Soviet Union's reforms.

On the other side of the Wall, Jingcha began to drive away the listeners who had gathered under the Wall.

Reagan's words are becoming more and more incendiary.

"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you are truly peace-loving, if you really want to bring prosperity to the people of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you really want to be open, then please come to Brandenburg! Mr. Gorbachev: Please open this door! Mr. Gorbachev: Tear down this wall!"

The whole of Germany is boiling, the whole of Europe is boiling, and these speeches of President Reagan have spread all over the world.

General Secretary Gorbachev, tear down this wall! This was a challenge to Gorbachev, and his speech made the situation in Eastern Europe even more turbulent.

Western countries began to associate the issue of loans to the Soviet Union with these events, and if the Soviet Union did not change its current approach to the countries of Eastern Europe, then Western countries would stop lending to the Soviet Union.

Since the 80s, the Soviet Union has been constantly lending to the West, and now it is no longer a question of how to repay the loans, but how to lend new money in order to maintain the continued development of the Soviet Union.

Gorbachev carried out failed economic reforms, and now, the economy of the Soviet Union, showing no signs of improvement, has made it even more difficult for the Soviet Union to move forward with this turnip and stick.

In later generations, Gorbachev was like this, he had to submit to the West, but, unlike history, in later generations, due to the United States' cāo indulgence, the world's oil prices plummeted, and the Soviet Union's most important export project, that is, the export of energy, would not bring more profits to the Soviet Union, which led to extreme financial difficulties for the Soviet Union.

And now, Saudi Arabia has not accepted the conditions of the United States, maliciously increased production, depressed the price of oil, and the world's oil prices are still growing steadily.

The world situation, in the midst of peace, is constantly changing, and it has entered the first year.

At the White House, Bush was sworn in as the 41st president of the United States. The United States began to enter the period of Bush rule.

And in Iraq, the second five-year plan, has already begun to develop. In the first five-year plan, Iraq initially fulfilled the goal of building an industrialized country, and the electromechanical, metallurgical, automobile, chemical, and agricultural industries all developed rapidly, and grain not only realized its assets, but also began to export. Colleges and universities of all kinds began to be built, and higher education began to be universalized among Iraqi citizens.

The second five-year plan is to continue to promote the process of industrialization, especially to promote the further development of high-tech industries and the country's scientific research capabilities, so that Iraq will become an advanced country with research capabilities in all fields, and the state will increase its investment in these fields.

Attract foreign investment, attract talents, thoroughly develop the overall level of the country, and build Iraq into an industrial power! Even without oil, Iraq is able to join the ranks of rich countries. (To be continued.)
