Crossing A Small Country And Developing GDP To The First Place

“Dong dong dong——”

After Carter left, less than two minutes later, someone knocked on the office door again.

“Please come in!”

This time the person who opened the door and walked in was Finance Minister Compaoré.

Holding a pile of documents in his left hand, he walked quickly to the desk. While putting down the documents, he said to Sankara with respect:

“President, good afternoon.”

Sankara, who was immersed in official duties, stopped writing and looked up at Compaoré.

In Sankara’s vision.

Name: Arisa Compaoré

Nationality: Republic of Burkina

Age: 41 years old

Position: Minister of Economy, Finance and Budget Planning

Level: Ministerial

Loyalty: 89

A month ago, his loyalty was 65.

“Good afternoon, Minister Compaoré.”

Sankara nodded, and then asked:

“Have you had lunch? If you haven’t eaten yet, I’ll ask the Presidential Office to ask the canteen to send an extra meal.”

“Then it’ll be a problem for the president!”

A month ago, Compaore might have refused, but now, he is eager to have lunch with Sankara and get closer.

“Originally, I thought it was because Sankara had just come to power and didn’t understand finance. Later I found out that it was me who didn’t understand Sankara!”

Compaore couldn’t help but think of a month ago.

At that time, he was convinced that if Sankara went his own way, he would definitely destroy the government’s finances and be driven out of office.

But now it seems that he is the real clown!

“How does he know that there are so many uranium mines buried underground in our country!? It’s not like the French haven’t explored our country’s resources before!”

Compaore was very confused in his heart, and he still didn’t understand it until now.

Precisely because he couldn’t understand it, in Compaore’s eyes, Sankara was covered with a layer of mystery.

When Compaore recalled the past, he felt embarrassed and ashamed.

Sankara, on the other hand, told the President’s Office over the phone to ask the canteen to deliver an extra meal later.

“What are you thinking about?”

After hanging up the phone, Sankara asked curiously when he saw Compaoré standing there stunned.

“ah?”

Compaoré, who was startled, came to his senses.

But if you admit that you are a clown, can you say it directly?

So he quickly shook his head and said:

“Nothing, President!”

Perhaps because he was afraid that Sankara would continue to ask questions, Compaoré quickly changed the subject, picked up a document he had placed on the table, handed it to Sankara, and said:

“President, here are all the information you asked for about the government’s finances. I have sorted them out.”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Sankara also saw that Compaore was changing the subject, but he didn’t care. Instead, he reached out to take the document and opened it to read.

“This is what our Ministry of Finance should do, but there are a few points that I still want to discuss with you, President!”

Compaoré said with a slightly solemn expression:

“Although President, you obtained an interest-free loan of 10 billion rubles from the Soviet Union using uranium mines and the right of first refusal of uranium mines as collateral, which greatly relieved the government’s financial pressure.

But because President, you are purchasing a large amount of weapons and equipment, importing grain and selling it at low prices, and importing a large amount of industrial equipment… all 10 billion rubles will be spent by you soon!

We have spread our stall in such a big way, and there is no way to get a return on these investments in a short period of time. Once the capital chain is broken, the consequences may be incalculable. ”

What Compaoré said was “the consequences may be incalculable”, but what he actually wanted to say was “you will most likely be ousted by then.”

The people are great, but people who do not receive sufficient and correct education are short-sighted.

They only know that you gave them an extra hundred yuan yesterday, but you did not give them this extra hundred yuan today.

They don’t care what the reason is. They only know that you didn’t give them the 100 yuan that “should belong” to them, and then they will hold a grudge against you.

If it had been in the past, and he had learned that Sankara might be ousted, Compaoré would have applauded, and even become one of the promoters.

But now, all he has is worry.

Everything Sankara did after he came to power was seen by Compaore. He dared to say that Sankara was definitely a rare find in Africa for a century, no! He is a rare ruler in a thousand years.

Ten billion rubles!

If it were replaced by the former president of the Republic of Burkina, or the current president of other African countries,President, then they will just put all these 10 billion into their own pockets.

If they go too far, they may simply resign as president and go to the United States or any country in Europe to enjoy life.

“In this land of Africa, I am afraid that only President Sankara would be so foolish as to spend all of these 10 billion rubles on the country and its people.”

Compaore sighed in his heart, looking at Sankara with a hint of respect and even admiration in his eyes.

“Do not worry!”

After listening to Compaore’s concerns, Sankara not only showed no signs of anxiety, but instead showed a smile on his face and said:

“Of course I know that the 10 billion rubles will be used up sooner or later! The uranium mines sold to the Soviet Union every year are not worth much.

But who told you that there are only uranium mines underground in the Republic of Burkina? We also have 1.5 million tons of gold mines buried underground, which has been discovered so far!

There are many other resources, but they are still under further exploration, so the specifics are not yet known. ”

Sankara naturally knows how many resources there are.

But to be on the safe side, he still didn’t tell everything directly, and even told a little lie, saying that there were special people exploring.

And originally, Sankara was not prepared to mine these gold mines so soon. The main reason was that he was afraid that France would not be able to tolerate the huge benefits and would end up directly.

But Sankara didn’t expect that he would be targeted by the French North African Strategic Intelligence Service after he executed so many disloyal people, and then he would be labeled as disobedient.

That’s right, after reaching cooperation with the Soviet Union, thanks to the Soviet Union’s powerful intelligence system, Sankara finally knew which department in France was behind the scenes.

Although what they said is indeed correct, Sankara still wants to be an “obedient” person for the time being and buy some time for the Republic of Burkina to develop.

But now it seems that Sankara has no chance!

Since there is no chance to continue to be a “grandson” and develop steadily, it is better to go straight to strengthen the strength of the Republic of Burkina in the shortest possible time.

“!?”

Compaoré was stunned.

The next second.

Compaore’s face showed uncontrollable ecstasy.

Sankara also mentioned a lot of various resources later, but Compaore didn’t care because he only had eyes for the 1.5 million tons of gold mines.

“President, what you just said was 1.5 million tons of gold mine? Isn’t it because I was hallucinating? Are you sure it was 1.5 million tons! Not 150 tons? Is it really a mine? One and a half million tons?”

Compaore was already so excited that he was a little incoherent. He just wanted to get 100% confirmation from Sankara.

“Yes!”

Sankara nodded vigorously and replied affirmatively:

“It’s really 1.5 million tons of gold mine!”

The next second.

“thump–”

“???”

“!!!”

Sankara was frightened and stood up.

Because he saw that after Compaore heard that he said it was really a 1.5 million-ton gold mine, his brain seemed to have shut down. His body shook uncontrollably a few times, and finally fell to the ground.
