Chapter 226: The Art of Hegemony 2

"My friend, Marcos is still hesitating!" The big pineapple briefly conveyed Volonin's somewhat less optimistic report

Many high-powered guys who are dying have a jaw-dropping sense of conceit, the most typical example is Cai Huangong!

For the sake of Marcos's gold, the alliance has deliberately maintained an already apparent partnership with Vietnam, which has begun to tentatively engage with the United States. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the Soviets could reach Cam Ranh Bay, they had to find an ideal foothold in Southeast Asia, and there was no doubt that the Subic naval base, which could accommodate aircraft carriers, was a perfect fit.

Moreover, the Philippines itself is on the first island chain, and if the Soviet army can successfully settle in, it will immediately jump out of the blockade circle and face Guam and Australia!

"It doesn't matter, with our point, at least Marcos won't sit still and wait to be driven down by the Yankees!" Unless he's really willing to put his hands on his knees

Now the international gold price has reached more than 31 million US dollars per ton, and if Marcos really has 65,000 tons of gold in his hands, the total value will be as high as more than 2 trillion US dollars!

With such a large sum of money in the hands of an indigenous Filipino, how could Washington rest assured? I'll definitely do it sooner!

Because the Soviet Union has announced that it will no longer export gold, and has eaten all the quotas of 400 tons sent by South Africa to the international market.

This is equivalent to a reduction of more than seven or eight hundred tons on the supply side, and considering that India is also paying gold for the purchase of large quantities of arms from Moscow.

This means that in the future, the international market will supply about 1,000 tons of gold every year, and this huge gap is absolutely impossible for other gold-producing countries to make up.

Big Pineapple remembered a very important thing: "According to the current gold price, we need more than 12 billion US dollars to eat South Africa's quota of 400 tons." And if this status quo continues, I am afraid that the long-term will reach 35 million to 40 million US dollars per tonne! ”

The implication is that if you exchange $12 billion to $15 billion a year for South Africa, for a long time, even if the strength of the alliance grows, I am afraid it will be a little inadequate.

After the two sides formed a strategic partnership, in order to show a friendly gesture, the Soviet Union exported its fist products, including MiG-29 fighters, T-72 main battle tanks, "Krivac"-class frigates, and even "Kilo"-class submarines, to this African country.

However, South Africa is a predominantly white country, so it is not funny and will not spend all the dollars in its hand on weapons and equipment.

Besides, after the withdrawal of troops from Angola, it is necessary to recuperate for the time being, and there is no strong country in southern Africa except for South Africa.

The total amount of arms trade in the South Sudan before that was maintained at about $25 to $3 billion a year, and Uncle Bai still had a large amount of dollars to spend.

This is equivalent to cashing out at the Union's ATMs, and the second-hand youth also know this problem, so South Africa is listed as an important consumer electronics exporter on a par with the United States.

Miji can easily resolve this trouble: "It doesn't matter, I focus on transporting chips these days, which can bring at least 200,000 yuan at a time, 400,000 yuan twice a day, and 12 million yuan per month, which should be able to meet the market demand, if it is not enough, it can be increased." ”

Myphone-1 is currently a hot commodity in Western countries, with a price tag of $2,000 in short supply.

South Africa has received special attention, so like the American market, it is in sufficient supply, which makes Uncle White very happy.

One million mobile phones are worth $2 billion, and the total price is only a lot more than the telecommunications equipment used to transmit the signal.

Somewhere, Motorola is racking its brains to develop a homegrown mobile phone based on the Myphone-1 and its own DynaTAC 8000X.

It was only a matter of time before the knock-offs became available, and the biggest difficulty was the cost of manufacturing, which could not be less than $2,000 (in 1985, the DynaTAC 8000X was sold for $3,995).

In the Western market, where the market is priced, a product that sells for a higher price than the Myphone-1 will not be competitive unless the government intervenes.

In addition to mobile phones, various household appliances such as 29-inch color television, GS game consoles, micro tape recorders, and DVDs have all poured into South Africa, kicking Japanese products that previously dominated the market into the sea.

"That's good! As long as there are chips, our factories will quickly produce finished products! "The factories under Big Pineapple are all shell companies, which specialize in assembly.

After the introduction of incentives for more work and the priority of receiving products with their wages, the enthusiasm of workers for production increased.

Overtime work is commonplace, and quality and quantity can be guaranteed, and after the product is boxed, it is immediately loaded onto the train, transported to the port, and loaded for export.

The Western European market is very welcoming to the alliance products with stylish appearance and excellent performance, and the sellers will eat the order no matter how much they ship.

U.S. lawmakers have introduced a bill aimed at restricting imports of Soviet goods by allies because their communications products and equipment threaten national security in hopes of stifling the fledgling alliance's manufacturing industry.

However, this move was strongly resisted by small partners except Japan and South Korea, and they also gave sufficient reasons, because the United States is the largest importer of Soviet goods!

Can you imagine how funny the scene is for those congressmen who hold Myphones in their hands and then speak out to restrict the exit of the Soviet Union~!

After the Western media published it, it was unanimously condemned by the masses, and it was considered to be fooling everyone's feelings and intelligence!

Myphone's users include sports stars, entertainment stars, the wealthy, and a large middle class who are opposed to the restrictions.

When the contract was signed with the major US telecom operators, the relevant clauses were added, and if the US government used various methods to obstruct it?

For the losses caused, the alliance will not only not compensate for the losses, but will also require the other party to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages of up to 5 billion US dollars.

"I heard that the Z-700 sedan costs $100,000 a car in the United States?" I never thought that this car would be so popular

The Z-700 alliance price is 20,000 rubles, and the export price reaches 50,000 dollars, which has been out of stock due to the tight capacity of the second-hand youth.

The bureau nodded and admitted that it was true: "This is just the list price, in fact, in the United States, customers have to increase the price to buy, and this car has affected the new car development of the three major automobile companies in the United States." It is said that their next-generation new car, at least in appearance, will move closer to the Z-700! ”

Ten trucks can be loaded at a time, and since there are also huge warplanes and other weapons to be transported, five or six thousand trucks a year will be over.

This is something that even government agencies and military departments can't satisfy, let alone earn foreign exchange through exports.

Fortunately, Zhongtai and Guangqi agreed to set up a factory on Anjouang Island in the newly established clan state, so that they could bring a full set of production lines over.

In view of the fact that the other party is working so hard to pan for gold, the young man of the second cargo also reciprocated and announced a good news: "The new car production line will arrive within half a year!" One includes the Z-500, Z-700, T-600, SR9 (Porsche Macan), and the other is GA6, GA8, GS4, GS8. ”

"That's great!" The big pineapple is in full swing, and it has always been the alliance's desire to obtain a car production line, and to take this opportunity to comprehensively upgrade heavy industry, especially the automobile manufacturing industry.

This is not an improvement in a simple sense, but directly surpasses Germany, Japan, and the United States, and ranks first in the world in terms of automobile manufacturing quality and performance!

With the advanced technology provided by this kid, it can be said irresponsibly, and the alliance will not worry about selling as much as it makes.

The bureau was also very excited to hear the news, originally thought that the T-600 was already very good, both in terms of workmanship and appearance, it surpassed the same European and American cars.

But after test driving the SR9 and GS8, the appearance of these two cars gave him a new understanding.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are no less lethal to the average car buyer than a nuclear bomb!

"My friend, you don't know that there are many rich people in Europe and the United States who are buying their favorite gifts in car shops on the streets of Moscow. They are afraid that by the time these luxury cars are shipped to the West, they will have already been snapped up. ”

As soon as the newly launched GS8 appeared at the booth, it instantly conquered the local tyrants of various countries with its luxurious interior and beautiful appearance.

The million-dollar price tag for an SUV was sky-high in the mid-eighties.

It's no less than the tens of millions of dollars of super luxury cars in later generations, but VVVIP customers still flock to it.

The first batch of ten cars were snatched up by the Middle East tyrants within half a minute, and the guys who grabbed them were proud, and the frustrated ones were extremely annoyed.

Fortunately, everyone is a person with status, and their strength is not inferior, but they are still in front of the public, so they didn't fight.

The bureau also saw the fierce GS8 at first sight, but he would never be able to afford it with his income.

Considering that the KGB also has to protect foreign guests and cannot lose face, Big Pineapple allocated them twenty work cars!

And this kind of fist product is very suitable for diplomatic gifts, and then it becomes "car diplomacy".

The heads of state of such important partners as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Brazil, India, South Africa sat on the GS8, not to mention the satellite states of Eastern Europe, and even Marcos got one.

These special gifts are bulletproof versions, but if you really dare to test them, think about how to fix them before you shoot, you can't handle the paint alone!

The "Woolly Bear Battalion Chief" is a more high-end thing, 10 million dollars a car, and it is not in stock, so it needs to be booked in advance, but the number of customers who are willing to wait for a long time is certainly more than ten figures!

The president of Iraq, the king of Saudi Arabia are among them, some even have multiple vehicles, and Marcos also appeared on the reservation list.

It seems that the richer the guy is dating, the more afraid he is of dying, which is the inevitable result.

Seeing the situation like this, Mi Ji couldn't help but think: If Lao Tzu's space was larger, there would be no need to dump arms, and he would have to transport cars in the future!

On January 1, 1985, after confession and negotiation between the United States and the Soviet Union, Big Pineapple announced the lifting of the blockade of West Berlin that had lasted for nearly half a year out of considerations.

During this period, the United States and its allies flew more than 90,000 transport sorties to the region to maintain the daily life of West Berlin and the basic needs of the Allied forces.

The resulting losses were not significant, and although the Soviets did not fire a single shot, 153 Allied transport planes crashed, not counting the number damaged during the forced landing.

The main reason was that the pilots could not effectively identify ground targets, because the smoke produced on the ground was too heavy and there was a threat of birds in the air.

On the way, the ground tower could not be contacted, and after the Soviet troops stationed in Germany were equipped with the "Krasukha" electronic warfare system, they could strongly jam and suppress the radar and radio systems.

Due to its radius of action of up to 300 kilometers, as soon as the system is turned on, the whole of West Berlin will be penetrated by the broadband active jamming device it carries......

As long as NATO continues to airlift, the movement of catching sparrows and other birds on the alliance side will not stop.

As for the smoke on the ground, at first it was the burning of firewood, straw, tires, rubber products, and then it was simply a ring of heavily polluting factories built around West Berlin!

For Washington, which has deep pockets, the loss of a few transport planes will not make it bow to Moscow.

However, the existence of "Krasukha" had an unintended result, through which the Soviet army eavesdropped on the communications of the Allied forces.

Destroying its communications system, and then misleading the Allied transport planes, causing them to get lost and fly to Poland......

As a result, the Soviets easily captured more than forty Allied transport planes, along with all kinds of food inside!

The C-5, C-141, and C-130 of the US military are among them, and some of the "Hercules" are even brand new.

In response, the actor president expressed a strong protest and demanded that Moscow immediately return all pilots and planes that had strayed into Poland.

The pilots were quickly released, but the planes were returned as parts after the coalition had done some research.

also avenged the defection of the MiG-25 to Japan many years ago, and was later dismantled by the United States with an arrow, and this N arrows were shot over!

Marshal Ogarkov, Chief of the General Staff, praised the "Krasukha" electronic warfare system, which has made great contributions, and hoped that the second-hand youth would continue to provide this equipment.

But after reading the offer, the woolly bear smacked his tongue, 50 million dollars a car (integrated design, similar to the fire control radar of the S300 air defense system), is definitely a luxury.

Ten chickens were provided for free, and if the alliance wanted to order it again, it would have to pay out of pocket, after all, they bought it here, and the Russian manufacturer also quoted 20 million US dollars per car.

What I can't stand even more than the woolly bear is Washington's side, which continues to go to Poland for "free delivery", which makes the Pentagon lose face.

The huge losses caused by the leakage of military secrets are probably greater than the two million people who fed West Berlin.

In the end, the United States and the Soviet Union secretly negotiated in Vienna, Austria, and the United States paid $5 billion in exchange for the Soviet blockade and the return of all Allied transport planes that had been forced to land.

You can't expect the Yankees to return all the $20 billion in arrears from the auction of the Texas oil fields, that's a pipe dream!

In addition to mastering the secrets of the US military transport aircraft, he was able to earn a lot of money and re-establish a strong image and prestige in front of his own friends, which was already a complete victory for the alliance.

Moreover, the U.S. military already knows that the other side has used a secret weapon against its airlift troops, but until now it has not figured out what it is and what its performance is.
