After saying this, several people looked through the recent sect accounts together, Rao is they are high and powerful, their cultivation is profound, their thoughts are deep, and they are also a little overjoyed.

The reason is that so far this expedition plan has been funded by the Four Gods Sect, and this deficit is not small, if this expedition is not unanimously approved by the high-level of the Four Gods Sect, such a huge "budget deficit" can make these four sect masters bow down and step down.

It's also interesting to say, there is only one reason why the four gods who are divided into four sides come together, and even plan major events that can change the history of Middle-earth, and that is naturally ...... Motoshi!

As mentioned in the previous document, Yuanshi itself is a multi-purpose substance with stable properties, and the only reason that hinders it from being used as hard currency is that the demand for Yuanshi by cultivators is very large, to the point that the supply exceeds demand. The four major external skills of the Dan Weapon Rune Array all require Yuan Shi as fuel and raw materials, and after the Qi Refining Period, cultivators can directly use Yuan Shi as a "battery" to replenish the true qi in their bodies.

This is different from the gold and silver in our world, which do have their industrial uses in modern industry, but they are not used in high quantities except for decoration. Even if it is an ornament, in real life, most people with thick gold necklaces and gold bracelets are also brothers on the road.

Of course, they are in case something happens, if they need to run away in a hurry, large amounts of cash are not very convenient, and bank cards and credit cards are more at risk of being tracked, so gold jewelry has become a small size and high amount, and most importantly, it is easy to carry and not so "eye-catching" a way of insurance.

The main supplier of Yuanshi in Middle-earth is the Four Gods Sect, so there are four major suppliers for such an important thing. And what happens when these four suppliers are equal?

Naturally, there is a battle for pricing power.

The Western Extreme Desolation Sect is the most dependent sect of the Four Gods Sect, because they are not only located in the middle of nowhere. There are not many people in the sect, and there is no other means to collect money except Yuanshi, and the other three sects can still collect rent or something. What's even more troublesome is that all the supplies of the Great Wilderness Sect must rely on external supplies. This forced them to mine more Yuanshi in exchange for supplies. An increase in production means a decrease in prices.

The complete opposite of the Western Great Desolation Sect is the Qingyang Sect of the East China Sea, which encompasses Qingzhou, which has fertile land and flat terrain, and is also a major trade route between the north and the south, and is itself the largest supplier of Fu Array. Yuanshi mining is nothing more than a less important source of income for them. Qingyang Sect mined Yuan Shi mainly to meet the needs of the people, and the price of selling it to the door was naturally expensive.

So all the time. The prices of yuan stone in various parts of Central Continent are not completely consistent, and they are all cheap in the west and expensive in the east. Motoshi is a commodity in its own right, and it can also be circulated. However, if it is in circulation, the price in the southeast will also drop, which must have caused the dissatisfaction of the Qingyang Sect and the Nanli faction.

Of course, everyone is a person in the fairy road, and they don't necessarily have to shout and kill for some interests, can you sit down and talk about it first?

Just two hundred years ago. The Quadriology held a meeting with the participation of all four high-level leaders, and after the meeting, an OPEC-like organization emerged, which is the basis for the "intimate" cooperation of the Quadriology now.

OPEC is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). It is a voluntary intergovernmental organization that coordinates and harmonizes the oil policies of its member countries.

In September 196o, the Western oil companies of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela opposed the control and exploitation of international oil monopoly capital. Maintain oil revenues. On the 14th, the five countries announced the establishment of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), with its headquarters in Vienna. On November 6, 1962, OPEC was registered with the United Nations Secretariat and became a formal international organization. Meantime. With the growth of membership, OPEC has become an international oil organization for some of the major oil producers in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

In fact, the historical events of the second half of the twentieth century in our world have a great deal to do with this organization. At least the Middle East is still as chaotic as Latin America is now. It is a situation created by Western countries in order to stir up the situation created by the organization that controls human oil and energy.

The organization's first threat came in 1973 during the Fourth Middle East War, when the Arab members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) announced in December that year that they would withdraw their right to price oil and raise the price of their crude oil from $3.o11 to $1.651 per barrel, more than tripling oil prices, thus triggering the most severe global economic crisis since World War II. The three-year oil crisis has had a severe impact on the country's economy. In this crisis, industrial production in the United States fell by 14 percent, in Japan by more than 2o%, and economic growth slowed markedly in all industrialized countries.

After such a crisis, in order to dismantle this organization, especially its members of the Arab world. The US imperialists racked their brains for the Western bloc, so the Iran-Iraq war broke out in 198o.

The war, which lasted for eight years, was a veritable war of attrition, a war in which neither side had more to gain than it would lose, and there was no winner. Before the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq had a foreign exchange surplus of nearly $4 million, and at the end of the war, its foreign debt was $8 billion, of which more than $4 billion was arms debt owed to Western countries and the Soviet Union, and more than $300 million was loans owed to other Arab countries. During the war, Iraq suffered 180,000 dead and 250,000 wounded, and its direct losses (including military spending, war damage, and economic losses) were $3.5 billion. Iran also owes $4.5 billion in foreign debt, with 70,000 deaths and more than 110,000 injuries, and 20,000 women in Tehran alone who have lost their husbands, with direct losses of $3.5 billion. The war has postponed the economic development plans of the two countries by at least 2o to 3o years.

The war took a heavy toll on both countries, stagnating their economies, plummeting oil exports, and killing and wounding millions. As a result, Iraq has also been saddled with a large amount of debt, amounting to $1.4 billion owed to Kuwait alone. This was one of the reasons why Saddam Hussein later invaded Kuwait.

So at the beginning of the nineties, in 1991, there was the first Gulf War. And the result of this war was the great hostility of the extremist US imperialism in the green, and the 911 incident, the war in Afghanistan and the second Gulf War can be said to be the direct consequences of it.

It is a superficial worldview to interpret history with conspiracy theories such as "Currency Wars", but if you look at the chaotic Middle East from the middle of the 20th century to the present day, it has to be said that it is all caused by Israel, a-stirring stick deliberately left by the Anglo-Saxon nation.

However, on the other hand, it can be said that the strength of OPEC, especially the members of the Arab world, is too weak. These countries are actually pre-modern countries that have black gold but have not yet entered industrialization, and the Middle East wars with Israel can be regarded as a shame.

The only ones that have a bearing on the ground are Iraq and Syria, both of which were previously ruled by the Baath Socialist Party, a secular nationalist party with socialist overtones.

The Baath Party's platform defines the nature of the party as a nationalist and socialist party, whose task is to revive the Arab nation and build a united Arab socialist fatherland. Externally, he advocates anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, and opposition to Israel-Zionism. Follows a policy of non-alignment. Internally, it advocates the development of the national economy and the implementation of policies and measures such as nationalization and land reform.

The Baath Socialist Party has a clear ideological program, which includes the restriction of industry and the promotion of welfare, in addition to socialism in the Arab world. Later policies were an effective imitation of those of the Eastern European bloc, which restricted religion, advocated secularization, and did not hesitate to harshly suppress Islam.

Such a party is naturally a thorn in the side of the conservatives in the green and the Western countries as the US imperialists, so it is not difficult to understand the current chaos in Iraq and Syria. The reason why US imperialism supports a religious group more radical than al-Qaeda to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria is that they are more afraid of socialism than the Isis madmen of Wahhabi.

It can even be said that the chaos in the Middle East was also a product of the low tide of the international communist movement.

The Yuanshi Exporting Sect Organization composed of the Four Gods Sect and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in our world cannot be compared at all, and the difference in strength is too great. With such a coordination mechanism, the price of Zhongzhou Yuanshi has also remained relatively stable in the past two hundred years, and the output of Yuanshi of the four sects also has certain rules.

As the high-level leaders of the Qingyang Sect in the East China Sea made a decision, the atmosphere in the sect suddenly became tense, and everyone from top to bottom began to get busy.

This is a large-scale military activity, and there are many aspects to be involved, but fortunately, the high-level leaders of the Four Gods Sect have been planning for a long time, and the preliminary work has been carried out long ago, so the situation of these four major sects can be called busy but not chaotic.

In fact, in the past few years, the disciples of the Four Gods Sect had long been mentally and materially prepared for this expedition. Many inner disciples have participated in the battle to exterminate the true dragon, and the work that outer disciples like Li Zisheng have done these days is closely related to this expedition.

On the contrary, Li Zisheng, who was in the Canghai Shipyard, except for caring about the progress of the Canghai Shipyard, the sect did not give him any instructions at all.

PS: Excuse me, guys, get out in a hurry.

That's a chapter for today.
