Chapter 964 964 Today's first title
Potsdam, suburban airport.
Sophie and Lilith sat on their knees next to the tarmac, their heads drooping, and in front of them stood Nia, with her hands on her hips.
"What the hell are you two going to do? Be honest. β
"Stealing a plane to Lisbon." Lilith replied very dryly, "Sister, it was Sophie who instigated me. β
Sophie glared at Lilith, "Traitor." β
"Well," Nia nodded, then patted Sophie on the shoulder, "Well done, the women of the Lin family just have to have a messy heart!" But chaos does not mean recklessness, even if you finally decide to take a risk, you must be as prepared as possible. β
"If you can be fully prepared, you won't be called a risk, right?" Sophie looked at Nia with disdain, "Sister, what you said is completely inconsistent." You're just thinking, 'Ah, I'm going to say something cool to pretend,' and you just make it up, right? β
"Ahaha, how is it possible, I'm a sister......" Nia laughed twice and forcibly covered up the past, "In short, don't go to Lisbon to make trouble for Dad, it's a very important international conference, and that conference may decide the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the next ten years." β
"Hundreds of millions...... Daddy is amazing. Lilith sighed honestly, "It is possible to decide the fate of so many people." β
"Of course, that's our father, it's a matter of course to have this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's energy."
"Sister," Sophie looked up at Nia, "how long are we going to kneel here?" β
"Well, that's pretty much it, get up, anyway, this was just a formality from the beginning."
Corporal punishment is effective for Divine Queens who do not have the bonus provided by the Bloodline, but both Sophie and Lilith are blessed with Bloodline. Lilith won't talk about it, Sophie looks like a normal person, but in fact, her body is also very good, and she is better at off-road than the most elite German soldiers, and kneeling on the ground for a few hours is trivial to Sophie.
After the two little ones stood up, Nia said, "Let's go, if you go back to Sanssouci now, you can still catch the afternoon tea." β
At this moment, Sophie shouted, "Xiaolu! Now is the time! β
"It's useless," Nia grinned, "Xiaolu has been bought by me with food. In all fairness, I personally like the idea of using myself to attract my attention and let Xiaolu pull the plane out of the hangar and send it to the runway, but wouldn't it be too trusting of Xiaolu? It's dangerous to keep all the treasures in one place. β
"Hmph, sister, do you really think so?"
"Oh, this line, is there a trick?"
"No, no. I just want to say it once. β
"So we ended up failing?" Lilith looked rather disappointed, "It's a shame that I've worked so hard to play a traitor." β
"Actually, the moment Sister Nia appeared, we failed, because even if we fly, we don't have enough time to climb high and accelerate, and Sister can easily fly into the air and get us down." Sophie spread her hands, "In the end, this kind of childish plan can succeed completely by luck, if I arrange it, it will be another matter, but sister, if you have to follow your plan, we can only give up going to Lisbon." β
"Sophie! You traitor! β
Nia stared at Lilith and said with a smile, "Okay, it turned out to be your idea, I said why is it so childish this time." I'll have to report it to Sissi's mother......"
"Don't!" Lilith let out a scream.

While the daughters were making trouble, Lin Youde was staring at Charlotte in Lisbon.
"The Sinai Peninsula should be the territory of the future Republic of Egypt," Charlotte tapped her finger on the map, "This was originally the control area of British Egypt, and the so-called State of Israel has not been established at all, so it is unreasonable to assign the Sinai Peninsula to Israel in this way, right?" If you do this, you will be putting a hidden danger to the security of this area. β
Lin Youde did not know that the surrender of the Sinai Peninsula to Israel would become a hidden danger to peace, but this was the reward he promised to the Jews, and now that the Jews were fighting bloody battles in the Allied forces as agreed, then he Lin Youde must fulfill his promise.
"Miss President," Lin Youde put on an insurance salesman's signature smile, "are you so relieved to hand over Suez completely to the Arabs?" Aren't you afraid that the Arabs will stick your neck like this? In my opinion, the best way to ensure the internationality of the Suez Canal is to hand over the left and right sides of the canal to different countries, so that there is no need for one country to monopolize the canal. β
"But correspondingly, there is also the possibility that two countries will fight over the canal, and in the event of a war between the two countries, the canal will also be cut off!"
"If the two countries are at war, the international community will have room for mediation, one country dominates the canal, and the international community can only impose economic sanctions in addition to sending troops, Miss President, Egypt does not have any international industry now, people are just a few local residents, relying on the soil brought by the flooding of the Nile to engage in agriculture can be fed and self-sufficient, and sanctions may not be of much use."
The more developed the commodity economy and the clearer the division of labor in the production system, the lower the ability to resist economic sanctions.
Conversely, the more "retro" the internal economy, the lower the commoditization of a country, the more resistant it is to economic sanctions. Another example of this is that there are many such examples in Africa that are sanctioned warlord countries, but the share of the commodity economy in the domestic economy is pitiful, and most people are still in a relatively primitive economic system, so sanctions are of little use to him, so those warlords are the same. In the end, the international community had no choice but to send troops to kill the warlords, and at first they did a good job until the Americans fell hard in Somalia.
Later, the Americans also gave up, African, what do you like, you love to fight, then continue to be good, anyway, your fertility rate is the highest in the world.
Of course, Lin Youde will not tell Charlotte about this, but Charlotte is also a smart person, and it is impossible for Charlotte not to know the limitations of economic sanctions.
No, Charlotte replied to Lin Youde and said: "It is true that at the beginning of the establishment of the Republic of Egypt, we lacked effective means of containment against them, but we will help Egypt develop its economy in an all-round way, and as long as Egypt becomes a part of the world market, economic sanctions will become an effective means of containment." In addition, in extreme circumstances, the use of force is not unavoidable. Rather than leaving a time bomb in the Middle East, I think it would be better to include the Sinai Peninsula in the future Republic of Egypt. β
