Crossing A Small Country And Developing GDP To The First Place

“Ten billion North African francs.”

Sankara held out a finger and replied.

“One…10 billion!?”

The moment he heard the amount, Lucid stuttered.

He couldn’t believe his ears, his eyes blinked again and again, and his mouth opened again and again. After a while, he hesitated and carefully confirmed:

“Really…really? Your Excellency, President!”

“of course it’s true.”

Sankara answered in a decisive tone, and then added:

“It is at least 10 billion North African CFA francs. If it is not enough, I will add more.”

As Sankara himself said –

“Children are the future of this country.”

From the time he received 10 billion rubles to now, all the money spent has been related to children.

“…”

After receiving Sankara’s affirmative answer, especially after hearing the words “If it’s not enough, I will add more”, Lucid fell into silence.

Sankara didn’t know what Lucid was thinking at this moment.

But he saw that on the data panel provided by the system, Lucid’s loyalty instantly increased from 68 to 81.

Seeing this scene, Sankara’s eyes changed when he looked at Lucid!

He originally thought that Lucid was the same type of person as the executed “Maclu Sanditon”, the same greed for money and lust.

The only difference is that “Maklu Sanditon” and the others are rebels with a loyalty of less than 50, while Lucid still has a minimum of 68 loyalty.

Now, Lucid is greedy for money and lustful, and he is completely in the old bureaucratic style.

His loyalty has skyrocketed because he is prepared to provide 10 billion North African CFA francs to provide free vaccinations for children and provide better protection for pregnant women! ?

this……

For a moment, Sankara didn’t know what words to use to describe his inner feelings.

The autumn wind swept through the white clouds, lifted the thick curtains, and broke into the office. The smell of earth and fallen leaves awakened Lucid who had fallen into silence.

After regaining consciousness, Lucid suddenly thought of a very crucial question, so he immediately asked:

“The government shouldn’t be able to come up with 10 billion North African francs right now, right?”

“Finances are already very tight, and if you want to improve the benefits and treatment for soldiers, officials, police and teachers, the finances will become even more tight.”

“So, where are you going to come up with these 10 billion North African CFA francs?”

As a high-ranking member of the government, although he is not the core, Lucid has some knowledge of the government’s financial situation.

The word “tension” was already used by Lucid to take care of Sankara. In fact, he thought that the words “collapse” and “bankruptcy” might be more appropriate.

“Aren’t you trying to draw a pie for me?”

This idea suddenly appeared in Lucid’s mind. At the same time that the idea appeared, in Sankara’s field of vision, his loyalty also dropped from 81 to 80.

Originally, Sankara was not prepared to tell Lucid how the money came from, just like he did not tell Finance Minister Compaoré.

Because at the beginning, his loyalty was only 68.

In the system’s judgment, it is only barely trustworthy. If it were lower, it would be in the ranks of those who are likely to rebel.

Where the money comes from, although it is not a very important secret, it is not something that just anyone can know.

the most important is!

If the French Fourth Republic can be informed one day later, the Republic of Burkina will have one more day to develop stably.

But now, Lucid’s loyalty has reached 80, and he belongs to the ranks of those who can be absolutely trusted.

So Sankara was not going to hide it from him anymore, and said directly:

“Our own experts, by chance, discovered uranium deposits under our own land.”

“I used these uranium mines and the right of first refusal as collateral to borrow an interest-free loan of 10 billion rubles from the Soviet Union. I will start repaying it ten years later and repay one-tenth of the total loan every year.”

“The 10 billion North African CFA francs I gave you came from this.”

Lucid, who was wondering whether Sankara was trying to trick him, immediately widened his eyes after hearing what Sankara said.

“How many?!”

“Ten billion rubles in interest-free loans!”

He quickly opened his fingers and started counting:

“Ten billion rubles, according to the current exchange rate, is 11 billion U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar and North AfricaThe exchange rate of the franc is one to one hundred, which means…”

“Your Excellency, you now have eleven hundred billion North African francs?!”

“Gulu——” Lucid couldn’t help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his body was shaking a little, maybe because of excitement, or maybe because of surprise.

His dim eyes suddenly turned into the brightest stars in the night sky, and the corners of his smiling mouth couldn’t stop rising.

Before Sankara could say anything, he heard Lucid continue to say in an excited tone:

“Don’t worry, Mr. President, the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow! I will definitely put the specific plan on your desk before getting off work tomorrow!”

At this moment, in Sankara’s field of vision, his loyalty not only returned to 81, but also continued to rise, reaching 84.

“Okay, I believe the plan you come up with will definitely satisfy me and the country!”

Sankara smiled and nodded, then looked at the pile of documents that Lucid had been holding in his arms. Thinking of Lucid’s initial reaction, he asked curiously:

“You came to my office with so many documents. Do you have something to tell me?”

“Well……”

Lucid, who was in the midst of excitement, was instantly embarrassed on the spot. He hesitated for a long time, and finally scratched the back of his head with his hand in embarrassment and said with a smile:

“Your Excellency, aren’t you ready to raise the wages of soldiers, officials, police and teachers?”

“I am more or less familiar with the current situation of the government’s finances, and I know that the government will definitely not be able to come up with this money.”

“And your Excellency, President, you came to me at this time and said it was a very important matter. I thought you were planning to cut the budget of our Ministry of Health and use the money to fill the salary hole.”

“These documents are what I plan to use to complain to you and ask you to reduce your budget. But now it seems that I have thought too much.”

“…”

At this moment, it was Sankara himself who froze in place looking at the honest smile on Lucid’s face.

Originally, he came to this world, especially after he came to the small country of the Republic of Burkina.

I have always had a condescending mentality.

Thinking that only oneself is the savior to save them, and others only need to follow behind them.

But now it seems.

In addition to those big countries with profound heritage, these small countries that have no sense of presence in the international community actually also have people who love themselves deeply.

These people are also using their own efforts to save their country!

“Perhaps, I should change my mentality, otherwise I will suffer a big loss sooner or later!”

Sankara said to himself silently.
