Mobei, Iron Cross Command.

Xu Fei sat in the bamboo and rattan chair, thinking about a way to break the situation.

Debei robbed the Aynak copper mine in order to hoard resources.

North America grabbed the Aynak copper mine to patch financial loopholes, and at the same time, North America wanted to get land in Afghanistan and grow large tobacco pineapples as a kind of overseas income.

Debei shorts crude oil stocks and crude oil futures in order to pull down the price of crude oil supply.

North America raised crude oil stocks and crude oil futures in the hope that the financial market would recover, retain investors and futures, and avoid a crazy run, which would trigger a debt crisis (solvency crisis).

The demands of both sides are contradictory and cannot be alleviated.

Xu Fei listed these contents on the small blackboard and pondered them one by one.

When it comes to finance, your own plans can remain the same.

That is, the use of helium-3 and electricity to devalue crude oil.

For example, in December this year, Debei launched a lunar exploration rocket to start the 'helium-3 mining project'.

For example, in January next year, Debei will build a second airport on its home planet, announcing that mankind has entered the 'nuclear energy age' and announcing the closure of all oil refineries.

For example, starting today, the iron sheet company will sell all the crude oil in its hands to TEP at a low price, and TEP will sell it to offshore companies at a low price, and the offshore companies will sell it to its own Japanese enterprises at a low price, and the latter will continue to sell to the Eastern enterprises, and the Oriental enterprises will sell to the Balkan business alliance...... It's just a contract, if there are a few hands, let's pour a few hands, and then hold a press conference every day to make the whole world think that crude oil is worthless.

For another example, starting from March next year, the Daze Industrial Complex will launch the 'electric vehicle', which is called "new energy" in the information film, which is more cost-effective than fuel vehicles as a whole.

Of course, of the above four, the first two are false, and the last two are true.

However, under this public opinion that "electric energy is the mainstream of the future", "fuel vehicles will soon be eliminated", and "fuel vehicles cost money, and electric energy saves money", crude oil prices are bound to plummet.

Therefore, the biggest problem facing their own family at present is how to take the Aynak copper mine.

and how to mine and refine the Aynak copper mine after it is taken.

After all, the Hindu Kush is 4,500 meters above sea level, and no country currently has the capacity to mine it......

"Yes, there is no country where Aynak can be mined right now."

"Even if Debei has a 'basic production line', laying a photovoltaic power plant is a big problem."

"So, what about dropping the Aynak Copper Mine to North America?"

"Let them own it in name, but in fact they secretly mine it......"

"In particular, many high-ranking members of the Marine Corps of the Sea are their own people, and they secretly signaled that when the North American soldiers were patrolling, they would turn a blind eye and wait for five to ten years, and the copper mine would be hollowed out by their own homes, and the flood would rush away, and there would be no proof of death."

"I'm so stupid, what kind of battle are I fighting, isn't this a waste of energy?"

Xu Fei knew everything, and hurriedly took out the communicator and contacted Raymond.

If Germany gives up the fight for the Aynak copper mine, North America must give some compensation, right?

I never thought that the other party just called.

……

When Xu Fei was thinking hard about how to break the game.

The Pentagon in North America is also undergoing a post-war review.

The battle for the Aynak Copper Mine was the first modern plateau war in the history of the home planet.

During this period, many problems were exposed.

For example, except for the M8 tank, other armored units in North America are difficult to adapt to the highland climate, including the M1A4 with gas turbines, which can only exert 20% performance at most, and cannot be put into the battlefield at all.

For example, without experience in plateau operations, the Marine Corps has to recalculate everything it does, including missile control data, armored fire control systems, and flight unit related operations, so that the vast majority of Apache cannot take off normally, and even if they run and take off, they can only shuttle through the valley.

For example, at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the air pressure is reduced by half compared with that in plain areas, and the line insulation distance in ground high-voltage equipment is shortened, which in turn causes equipment failures and causes most radars to lose their effectiveness.

For example, the harsh environment on the plateau, the difficulty of camping, the lack of oxygen and the difficulty of sleeping for the soldiers, especially the wounds that are difficult to heal after injury, and the logistics cannot keep up, which eventually leads to a complete collapse of medical security......

On the other hand, Debei.

From the very beginning of its creation, the Iron Cross was equipped with gas masks and oxygen devices, and later a mechanical exoskeleton was added.

The Grizzly Chariot was originally a light tank developed for the highland environment, and this time it became famous in the Aynak Copper Mine.

The horror robot belongs to the electric drive, the unmanned remote control tank belongs to the electric drive, and the photovoltaic power generation technology of Debei is among the best in the home star......

It can be said that North America, which has strong armed forces, has a head-to-head confrontation with Debei, which has long been prepared, in the field that it is not good at.

The result was naturally quite disastrous.

The M8 vehicle series is destroyed.

The 70,000 friendly troops died few in battle, many died of disease, and some did not even enter the battlefield, so they urgently needed oxygen.

The 150,000 Marines of the Sea Corps were reduced by 32%, and there were also fewer casualties, more frostbite, and many suffered from mental illness because they couldn't sleep, shouting that the heavy soldiers were the undead army inside......

If Germany needs to pay 30 billion euros for this war, which lasted less than a month, North America needs to pay 300 billion US dollars to deal with the aftermath.

Because the cost of the soldier's injury and retirement is much higher than the cost of the soldier's death, including the cost of surgery, long-term medicine, prosthetics, and placement.

In fact, North America launched the Afghanistan-Fu War with a very clear purpose.

Cooperate with Harden first, let the other party hold NATO-standard weapons, and block the Haza people from entering Ainak eastward.

After that, the Marines took the southern part of the Afghanistan region, and then besieged the southern Tully funded by Harden, as well as the main Haza tribe, in the northern part of the Afghanistan region.

At the same time, the Marine Corps of the Sea called on the southern part of Afghanistan to widely plant large-scale pineapples and take the lead in making a fortune.

When the North American follow-up army arrived, they went all the way to Hazara and occupied the coal mines, and all the way north to the Hindu Kush Mountains to occupy the Aynak copper mines, and then introduced North American capital for mining and refining.

In this way, as long as the war continues, daily expenses will be incurred, but the actual losses are extremely low, and at least 1.6 trillion false accounts can be made.

And North American capital gets two minerals, and the sluggish financial market will definitely improve significantly.

But Debei, the-stirring stick, disrupted all plans.

In particular, Harden took South Tully back to the south of Afghanistan and began to grow food.

If North America wants to promote the big smoke pineapple in Afghanistan, it is necessary to forcibly expel the southern tully, turning the 'acting' into a real anti-terrorism.

Moreover, the main force of the third brother who came to participate in the anti-terrorism campaign, during the team battle between North America and Germany, shouted that he was lost, but in fact he returned to Hazara and occupied the Hazara coal mine.

This made North America very suspicious, and the third brother was in a gang with Debei and helped the Haza people guard their homes.

However, the main force of Debei withdrew to the west, and the Hazard returned to Hazara, and it is estimated that the good days of the third brother have come to an end.

Of course, the most important thing now is how to deal with Germany.

The arrival of winter has completely reduced the Aynak copper mine to no man's land.

Although the next round of war will not start until at least May next year, in the next six months, North America will not have time to develop plateau armored units.

In the meeting.

Some people have proposed the use of peaceful armaments to carry out precise strikes on important industrial facilities in northern Germany.

However, the Kirov cluster in northern Germany, with at least 50 ships fully loaded with 250 tons x 4 x 50 ships, totaling 50,000 tons of thermobaric bombs or cloudburst bombs, floating at an altitude of 15,000 meters, is impossible for North America to really start a war against it if a solution is found.

There was an offer to cooperate in the development of Aynak.

Because copper ore itself is a sulfur-containing mineral, toxic gases are released during mining, carcinogenic dust is raised during truck transportation, and sulfates are produced during blasting...... As a result, copper miners work in the pits for no more than three years, and about 500,000 people die each year from copper mine contamination worldwide.

If North America invests and Germany mines and refines, the related income is split in half, which is also a way to solve the problem.

The question is, after mining and refining in Germany, will it give profits to North America?

I'm afraid that if I don't eat and wipe clean, I won't give anything leftover to my own family.

In particular, the Aynak copper mine is located on the plateau, and the other party forcibly takes away the refined metal copper, what can North America do to stop it?

Then one thought of the sanctions package that Raymond had previously proposed.

From the financial, economic, foreign trade, military, energy and other fields, besiege Debei and force the other side to give up the Aynak copper mine.

But if you look at the investors of the Daze Industrial Complex, and then look at the partners of the supply and marketing system, the congressional veterans who have been lobbied by capital, will agree to sanctions?

Raymond sat in the conference room and listened for a long time, then got up to interrupt the conversation between the Lander Company and the generals.

"Guys, maybe we can give up the Aynak Copper Mine."

Raymond said, coming to the blackboard, "The environment of the main vein of the Hindu Kush Mountain is harsh, if you want to build a copper ore refining project, it will not happen overnight, and it will require an investment of 50~8 billion US dollars." ”

"If we take Aynak, we will inevitably be harassed by special operators in northern Germany for a long time, and at that time, our soldiers and workers will also face death threats."

"Instead of being so passive, why don't we do the other way around?"

"Throw the Aynak copper mine to Debei, let them throw money and equipment, and we will secretly attack... No, it was Harden who secretly attacked and harassed. ”

"In this way, although we can't get Aynak, but Debei is also unable to mine, and in this way, the main force of Debei will be dragged in the Aynak copper mine, and our soldiers can easily deal with the southern Tali in the south of the Afu region, and then plant big tobacco pineapples."

"When Debei can't get the benefits for a long time, it will definitely take the initiative to negotiate with us, and at that time, we will turn the passive into the active, and we can put forward some requirements."

The military advisers of the RAND Corporation, together with the generals of the Pentagon, thought about it seriously and felt that this was indeed the truth.

North America seized the Aynak copper mine, and it was not profitable in a short period of time.

After a long time, Debei will regain its strength, and maybe there will be a third, fourth, and fifth battle for Aynak.

When the time comes, it will take money for mining, money for refining, and money for coping with war.

Eight hundred enemies were wounded, and ten thousand were self-inflicted.

Rather than be so consumed, it is better to throw Aynak to Debei and turn the situation of both sides around.

"General wise!"

"Read more of the autobiography of the dog dealer, there are two ways to win, one is 'empathy' and the other is 'reverse thinking', and when you master these two skills, you will find that the problem is very simple."

Raymond said, pulling out the communicator and contacting the dog dealer.

North America gave up the competition for the Aynak copper mine, so why should it find Debeisuo to get some benefits.

The phone is connected.

"Old Lei, it's such a coincidence, I was about to tell you a good thing."

"Say."

"Some time ago, you came to Daze to entrust me with something, it's okay."

"Huh?"

"With the help of your three magnetic cards, after a month of unremitting efforts, I finally succeeded in lobbibiing the diehards of the Iron Cross, and also made Foreman aware of the financial crisis of the Iron Sheet Company, just now, the Deutsche Northern Council unanimously decided to completely withdraw troops from the Aynak Copper Mine."

“……”

"Old Lei, aren't you happy?"

“……”

"Before, you just asked me to slow down their march, but now I have exceeded the quota and directly ordered Debei to retreat...... We'll have to add more. ”

Raymond rubbed his throbbing right eyelid and hung up the phone directly.

It is impossible for Xu Fei to lie, and the withdrawal of troops from Debei means that in May next year, there will be no more battles for the Aynak copper mine.

Then, the Aynak copper mine is equivalent to falling into the hands of North America.

This seems like a good thing.

But just like the response plan he proposed before, on the other hand, what if North America is occupied, North America is mined, and North America is refined, and then Germany disguises itself as 'Harden' and comes to sneak attack and sabotage?

'Before, the two sides had a hard time, a stalemate. ’

First of all, both sides did not fight, and there was still a stalemate. ’

Raymond picked up the buzzing communicator and pressed the answer button.

"Lao Lei, I helped you solve everything, why don't you even say thank you?"

"I thank you!"

"Also, the Debei military department asked me to negotiate with you and ask for a compensation."

"Xu, in this way, Debei will give us a compensation, we will withdraw our troops, and Debei will occupy Ainak, how about it?"

"Are you serious?"

"Hmm."

"This ......"

Xu Fei thought about it seriously and felt that it was not a big problem.

With the virtue of North America, if you give up the copper mine to Debei, you may be in a state of collapse as soon as your own refinery is built.

But this is not much from the previous plan, because nine times out of ten the North American GIs on the mission are the Marine Corps.

When the time comes, let the high-level inside, open one eye, close one eye, today the North American GIs will lay mines, tomorrow their own German army will clear mines, the day after tomorrow North American GIs will lay mines, and the day after tomorrow their own German army will clear mines......

"Old Lei, what compensation do you want?"

"Graphite x, 200 tons."

"No way, the iron sheet company only has 1 ton now."

"So little?"

"Do you think that the 'black gold' has just come out, and it can be purified in batches?"

"We're going to rearm the individual armor technology of the GI."

"I'll have to ask Foreman about this."

Xu Fei hung up the phone, thought about it, and thought that in terms of hoarding resources, Debei's occupation of Aynak's blatant mining and refining was far faster than that of North America's occupation of Aynak's own secret mining and refining.

However, the Heavy Soldier belongs to base technology, and it is impossible for him to send a base unit to North America.

So......

Xu Fei dialed Raymond's phone.

"Foreman felt your sincerity and agreed to this deal, but the Heavy Soldier is a high-tech technology in Germany and a top-secret project, and Foreman refuses to use this technology as a bargaining chip, and intends to give you a set of 'electro-mechanical exoskeletons'."

"Xu, do you think we're that stupid? The electric power must use a supercapacitor device, we don't have a supercapacitor, what's the use of getting this set of technology? ”

"No, it's a flywheel battery."

"Huh?"

"After more than a year of research and development, the Debei laboratory has successfully miniaturized the 'flywheel battery', which can be applied to electric vehicles, electric toys, and electric drive devices.

The flywheel battery is a purely mechanical energy storage device, which originated in 92 years, proposed by the North American Flywheel System Company, and successfully manufactured a car flywheel battery with a specific power of 25 times that of a lead-acid battery, 10 times that of a gasoline engine, and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 8 seconds.

Later, all countries were researching, but due to the influence of the production process, it was like a photonic computer, which could be made, but could not be commercialized.

After obtaining this technology, the company borrowed the basic production lines at all levels, redesigned it, and replaced the materials of the internal rotor, stator, flywheel, vacuum chamber and electromagnet, and finally obtained a finished product with an energy conversion efficiency of up to 78%.

If you add 'Technology Support - Energy Utilization +20%', its energy conversion rate will reach 98%, crushing any existing energy storage product on the home star.

It's just that the cost is extremely high.

A vehicle-mounted 150kw flywheel battery, affected by technology, costs about 1,500 red banknotes, one can generate 200 million energy, referring to Daze's existing power supply capacity, with a daily output of 25,000 units.

If the volume is reduced, for example, to make a 50kw flywheel battery, the cost will be increased tenfold, about 15,000 red banknotes, and one can provide 200 million energy, with a daily output of 0.25 units.

If you continue to reduce the volume, the cost of manufacturing a 5kw flywheel battery will increase by 1,000 times, about 15 million red banknotes, and one can provide 200 billion energy, and one will be produced in 5 days.

It can only be said that the smaller the body size, the higher the technical content, and the more difficult it is to produce.

For example, the two 'intelligent robots' made of flywheel batteries are far more expensive than Kirov due to the use of a large number of high-tech materials.

Raymond was dull for a long time, and seemed to have discussed with the Pentagon, and it took a full five minutes before he spoke: "Xu, this transaction must be led by Leifei Technology, not to General Motors." ”

"It's okay, let General Motors find Leifei Technology OEM when the time comes."

"That's exactly what I meant."

"So, I'll contact Foreman."

Xu Fei hung up the phone and asked the Iron Cross Army to send a general to North America to negotiate.

When the work is done, take a look at the battle damage of both sides in the computer.

"By the way, is this battle in vain?"

"You can't say that, how can you sit down and talk without fighting."

Then, he got up and went outside the headquarters.

In the middle of November, it is still warm like spring, even a little hot.

In this environment, wheat must grow much faster than in the East.

Of course, the wheat in northern Mexico is not the same as the wheat in the east.

The wheat in the East can only be used to make dumplings and steamed buns, and if you want to make bread and cakes, you must switch to this refined wheat from northern Mexico.

This is also what Xu Fei just knew.

In other words, wheat in the East is not competitive in the international market, because not many people overseas eat dumplings and steamed buns.

The output of northern Mexico this season is about 30 million tons, which is one-third of that of the East.

Think about it, if all of Mexico were to grow wheat, who would have the power to set grain prices?

So the Iron Cross Army was to push west and expand the planting area.

And Xu Fei will also take the opportunity to announce the news of the launch of a lunar exploration rocket in Debei, which will continue to pull down crude oil prices.
