Chapter 1148 1148 Ah, I'm so hungry
The '60s were probably the best time in Persia.
The streets of Persia at this time were the same as those of the secular Turkey next door, with young girls and men looking smart and chic, similar to the streets of most European countries.
Neither men nor women had headscarves or tightly wrapped robes, and the girls completely abandoned the veil and exposed their beautiful faces to everyone's gaze - along with the snow-white slender thighs under the short skirts, of course.
Lin Youde received a warm welcome in the Persian capital, in every sense of the word.
There are extremists who want to assassinate Lin Youde with a bomb, and then the bomb is swallowed directly by Xiaolu, except for this little episode, the whole welcome ceremony went relatively smoothly.
Lin Youde brought Xiaolu because the king of Persia insisted on meeting the benefactor who had saved his daughter.
Lin Youde also met the princess of the Persian Kingdom, Her Royal Highness the princess is much more beautiful than Lin Youde imagined, Lin Youde couldn't help but think, if Ysera is a boy, this is the right time for him to arch this good cabbage, and he can also marry to take the remaining coastline of the Persian Gulf.
But Ysera is a girl, so there is no need to think about marriage. To be honest, if there are many boys in the Lin family, Lin Youde will definitely try his best to help his son kidnap a foreign god like he did when he played "Crusader Kings 2".
In the evening of the same day, a ball was held in the summer palace of the Persian king where Lin Youde stayed, and in this completely European style ball, Lin Youde personally conducted the small band he brought to play the Persian symphony composed by himself.
In fact, Lin Youde has never heard real Persian music, he doesn't even know if this music has been lost, the music he composed is a copy of modern music, it is said to be Persian-style, called "Desert-Rose", it is a combination of works called Sting.
Lin Youde relied on the plug-in to add a lot of Persian percussion instruments to the arrangement, and then let the chorus team he brought sing the harmony that he thought was very Persian.
However, the song seemed to work well, and the Persian king was particularly pleased, and in order to strengthen the legitimacy of his rule, he was launching a wave of revival of ancient Persian culture throughout the country. Regardless of whether Lin Youde's song is really Persian, the king is happy when he hears such a meaning, and then he wants to promote it.
This is similar to the original intention of some vested interests in a certain country in another time and space to revive ancient rituals and religion and build a female Durban, all in order to consolidate their own position, and people don't care whether this thing is really correct or not, whether it is really beneficial to the development and progress of the nation.
This practice is not the same as the so-called preservation of cultural traditions.
After all the activities of the day, Lin Youde was finally able to rest in the gorgeous palace.
Viola sat beside him and looked up at the palace's lavish ceiling, "Is this palace really built recently?" ”
"Yes, the palaces of the old Persia were either completely bulldozed or converted into buildings that conformed to the aesthetics of the Islamic regime that later ruled here, and His Majesty the King had to build a palace from scratch if he wanted to revive Persia."
"I don't think something is going to happen, for when we paraded at noon, I saw a lot of poor people, even though the Persians tried to make the welcoming crowds on both sides of the street look rich and happy." Viola said and shook her head gently, "The gap between the rich and the poor is so big, the country will burn with a little fire." ”
"There are still ten years or so before it burns," Lin Youde said, "in this time, let us squeeze the value of this country, and then just provide political protection when the king's family is forced to flee." ”
"Aren't you going to control this country for a long time?"
"How do you control zhì? The United States and China were divided into the heritage of the Ottoman Empire, and the situation was different, and when they immigrated there, the entire international community did not think that there was a zài country there. Persia, on the other hand, has always existed, and the situation is much more complicated than that of the two river basins, which withered away after centuries of Ottoman exploitation and oppression. Of course, when the conditions are right, we can still help His Majesty maintain his rule, but this rule will last until we have to send troops. ”
In other words, as soon as the situation reached the point where it was necessary to send troops directly, the Persian king would lose his asylum. It was very simple to defeat the expected Persian rebel army, but the problem was that after that, Lin Youde did not plan to fight against bandits in such a mountainous terrain as Persia. Mountains and jungles have always been good friends of those who try to resist the strong with the weak, and the arid and semi-arid flattening principle in which the population is very concentrated in the two river valleys is more suitable for mobile warfare by large forces, and the guerrillas cannot play a role in such places -- there is neither a sufficiently dense population in the desert to provide them with cover, nor a natural environment in which they can maneuver with the bandit troops, and it is hell that the guerrilla warfare can succeed.
"What a pitiful thing about the king who was deceived by your promise." Viola said.
"In the international community, it is normal to deceive each other, and naïve people will not live long in the international community."
All in all, the Persian king was tricked by Lin Youde, and willingly became Lin Youde's pawn when resisting the infiltration of American forces, and he didn't even know that he might be abandoned as an outcast at any time. Lin Youde was very satisfied with this result, and at the end of the visit period of a few days, he said goodbye to His Majesty the Persian king, an "old friend of the German people", and went to Pakistan.
It is also somewhat ironic that when he was in Persia, Lin Youde made various promises to help His Majesty the King suppress the Green Religion, and when he arrived in Pakistan, Lin Youde became the "noble man of the Green Religion", and promised to help the Green Religion deal with Hinduism. However, there are many kinds of green religions, and the current Pakistan is mainly controlled by the moderate green religion, which is easier to speak, and it is much better than another green sect that has been forced to the extreme by Lin Youde by force.
Lin Youde's most important job in Pakistan is to fool them into buying weapons, but unlike the Persian Kingdom, which has extracted oil and has money in its pocket, Pakistan is relatively poor, and there are no big dogs behind the scenes to secretly sponsor Pakistan in this time and space, so Lin Youde's promotion is not particularly successful, the Pakistanis chose left and right and finally bought some planes, Lin Youde originally wanted to sell his own tank, but the Pakistanis showed Lin Youde the authorized production version of the German Leopard I tank purchased from Xinming.
Xinming changed the licensed production of the Leopard I to Lin Youde, which is almost unrecognizable, and it is said that the performance has also been greatly improved, but the price is much cheaper than that of German products.
Lin Youde could only smack his lips, his mother transferred a complete set of production lines to the motherland in order to serve the country, this Nima has only been ten years, and the motherland has in turn competed with himself for business.
I really can't underestimate the learning ability of the motherland, it's terrible.
Lin Youde now understands very well the feeling of Europeans in another time and space - he finally made up something and planned to sell it at a good price in the international market, but the Chinese bought a little back, and it didn't take long for expensive high-tech products to be sold everywhere.
There are too many such examples, such as wind turbines and solar energy, and the Europeans have deliberately concocted these things, and then used carbon emissions, European atmospheric standards and other things to advertise and operate for so many years, hoping to fool other countries into buying clean energy power generation equipment, and as a result, the market is full of wind turbines and solar panels produced in China, and European products are beaten to the point that they are powerless.
In short, in Pakistan, Lin Youde's feelings are very complicated, on the one hand, he is happy that his motherland can build such a good chariot, which shows that the domestic industrial strength has increased a lot, and on the other hand, he is worried that the arms market will be encroached upon by Xinming in the future, and the money for building the Tower of Babylon may not be squeezed out.
Although Lin Youde can open a printing press to print money, this still can't be printed too capriciously, otherwise there will still be problems, so it's good to be able to scavenge a little more from the outside.
Viola advised him: "Don't worry so much about money, you can issue more bonds, I already almost understand your set." ”
Viola is talking about a means to increase the amount of money at her disposal for a period of time without causing too much inflation. As for the interest on the bond, it can be completely offset by inflation, and even inflation can be used to depreciate the value of the bond, so as to achieve the goal of repaying less money.
This is a new way of scraping grease developed by the great powers after the war, and the United States and Japan are playing it, and they are playing very slippery. However, before Lin Youde's crossing, Japan's economy was in a recession for too long, and the yen continued to weaken, so it was almost time to get off; Although the United States has experienced crises caused by debt problems such as the subprime mortgage crisis, in the end, the United States still succeeded in safely surviving, mainly because the United States is much stronger than Japan, and in DOTA's words, the United States still has a chance to buy back and fight again.
In addition, China in another time and space would not have used this set, but after entering the 21st century, China has gradually learned to do so. Treasury bonds seem to have a high annual interest rate, but in fact, after deducting the annual inflation rate, the value of government bonds is depreciating, and the money deposited in the bank is also depreciating slowly.
This kind of orderly and slow depreciation is the only way for the currencies of most of the major powers after the war, although the specific process will fluctuate, but on the whole the currency must be depreciating, whether it is the actual value or the corresponding purchasing power, it must be declining, the dollar is the best example.
In the process of devaluation, the ruling class will loot a large amount of oil, which is much more hidden than taxation, and it usually takes about ten years to see a more obvious effect, but it is indeed effective.
Lin Youde is also depreciating the paper mark in an orderly and slow manner, but he is ready to use all the wealth he has collected for the benefit of mankind.
After leaving the capital of Pakistan, Lin Youde traveled to India non-stop.
