Rebirth of England

On the one hand, Kahn is very strong in the International Monetary Fund, and the reforms he has carried out are all beneficial to the euro, which is not what the United States wants to see.

In addition, he is likely to participate in the French election next year and will be the biggest competitor of the current French President Sarkozy.

Therefore, unlike the unilateral ridicule and accusations of Kahn in other places, in France, after the news was exposed, the public generally believed that this was a dirty political frame-up. Some people even believed that after Kahn was arrested by the United States, France immediately had some reports that were unfavorable to Kahn, and Sarkozy cooperated with the United States...

Barron also believes that there may be something fishy about this matter...

Well, if you see the photo of the black maid who accused Kahn, then with Kahn's identity, he can do those things to her, which can only show that Kahn's taste is really a bit...

And the most critical point is that only a few hours after Kahn was taken away by the New York police, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced Kahn's successor-IMF First Deputy Managing Director, American banker Lipsky.

You know, since the establishment of the International Monetary Fund after the end of World War II, its president has always been a European - the president of its sister organization, the World Bank, is an American. This is a political understanding between Europe and the United States, and also a balanced arrangement between the world's economic powers.

But from this moment on, this balance has been broken, and the United States has at least temporarily achieved the "unification" of the two most important economic institutions in the world.

Therefore, the rapid appointment of the new boss of the International Monetary Fund has made some Europeans question:

Is the IMF ready for a long time?

So on May 16, a German government spokesman said that Germany hopes to replace Kahn with a European.

At the same time, the Financial Times reported that the possibility that the International Monetary Fund may be taken by a developing country is higher than ever before...

"Emerging market countries have been eager to move, and maybe now they feel that the time has come..."

Canadian media commented that before, the International Monetary Fund had increased Hua Xia's share in the institution and reduced the influence of European countries.

Emerging market countries will seize the opportunity of Strauss-Kahn's sex scandal to question:

The old method of selecting leaders has no effect and can only bring embarrassing controversy to the IMF.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that the long-standing unwritten rule that the IMF president is a European and the World Bank president is an American may end.

However, the report said that for Europeans, the IMF is like their "home key" and may not be left to emerging countries at this critical juncture.

On the same day, a spokesman for British Prime Minister Cameron also mentioned in an interview: Europe needs to find a candidate who can take over the chairmanship of the International Monetary Fund immediately.

And he also proposed that former Prime Minister Brown has rich professional experience and is one of the best candidates to succeed Strauss-Kahn as the chairman of the International Monetary Fund.

Many people also compared this statement from the Prime Minister's Office to the precedent of Sarkozy proposing Strauss-Kahn as a candidate for the chairmanship of the IMF a few years ago.

Cameron's statement was naturally the result of Barron's coordination.

Barron had already been prepared for this matter.

On the day when the Strauss-Kahn incident broke out, Brown had already left Asia to return to London, and he will then go to European countries including France and Germany, as well as the EU headquarters in Brussels, hoping to gain European support so that he can take over Strauss-Kahn's position.

Given the current situation, I am afraid that Brown is relatively acceptable to both the United States and Europe.

Compared with other European countries, Brown, who was once the Prime Minister of Britain, has a closer relationship with the United States.

In addition, at least in terms of his own identity, if he takes over as the chairman of the International Monetary Fund, this position will still be held by a European, and the original tacit understanding will be maintained.

"We have currently shipped most of the equipment of the Royal Arsenal in Leeds to Colo..."

After acquiring the former Royal Arsenal in Leeds, they established Standard Defense Ltd. on this basis, and through Standard Defense, acquired part of BAE Systems' weapons business, including light weapons and individual combat equipment.

Currently, Standard Defense includes two branches: Standard Weapons Company (military equipment) and Sentinel Company (drones).

At this time, they have moved some low-tech factories, such as gunpowder factories, firearms and individual equipment factories, to Bogu in Kolo, where they built a production base for Standard Defense.

Bogu is located in the grassland province north of Kolo, near Manger, where the headquarters of the Protector Military Services Company is located, and close to Dassault, the largest city in the north of Kolo. It is a relatively suitable area for military production.

The Standard Defense military base built in Bogu covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres. At present, more than half of the regional construction of this production base has been completed, and production departments including gunpowder factories, firearms factories, and grenade factories have entered.

By the end of the year, the Bogu production base will be fully completed. By then, the products it produces will not only meet the needs of the Kolo Corps and the Protector Military Service Company, but will also be sold to the entire African region.

Kolo has previously reached relevant agreements with the "West African Free Economic Zone" countries including Burkina Faso and Niger, and will allow them to purchase some weapons and ammunition from Kolo through aid and low-interest loans.

The so-called low-interest loans will be provided by the United Bank of Africa to these countries in Kolo shillings. These countries can purchase related products from Kolo through the Kolo shilling loans they obtain.

Its purpose is naturally to increase the circulation of the Kolo shilling in the West African region - after all, the Kolo shilling itself is relatively popular among the people in West Africa because it is relatively "value-preserving".

However, before this, due to the policy reasons of many countries here, the rules for holding foreign currencies were still relatively strict.

The "West African Free Economic Zone" agreement signed by Kolo with Ghana, Burkina Faso and Niger stipulates that the currency circulation restrictions between these countries will be more relaxed, which is conducive to the external promotion of the Kolo shilling.

In addition, Kolo's Burkina Faso Stock Exchange (Britta Stock Exchange) has become the second largest stock exchange in West Africa after the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

The Burkina Faso Stock Exchange can also provide comprehensive financing services for enterprises in the "West African Free Economic Zone".
