Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 2013: Rebellion and separation

The anger of the domestic people in France, especially the families of military personnel, has reached its peak. If effective measures are not taken to deal with it, it is simply unimaginable what the consequences will be!

Mitterrand is not said to be battle-hardened, but he is still experienced; he still has a certain ability to deal with crises.

However, the Finance Minister poured cold water on him. France had no money; it was not enough to support the next plan.

In recent years, France's economic situation has not been very satisfactory; it has gradually fallen behind other developed countries in Europe. Coupled with the high domestic welfare expenditure, there are not many resources itself; the Niger war is even more expensive, and insufficient funds are normal.

It can appease the families of military personnel and pay reparations to the Nigeriens; both require funds. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a plan without rice, and there is nothing; no matter how good the plan is, it is impossible to implement it. If you force it to start, the effect will not be very good!

Just as French high-level officials were discussing countermeasures, the Soviet Union made a surprising decision.

The Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce and Trade jointly issued a statement, in view of the unstable situation in France; in addition, the soldiers did not receive due treatment, and the families did not receive any respect.

It is not very optimistic about France's future and has decided to lower France's credit limit from now on.

In the future, France would purchase any goods from the Soviet Union, especially oil and gas; payment would have to be made from the date the order was placed.

And only US dollars and rubles are accepted; other currencies, especially francs, are not accepted.

I originally wanted to bring Hong Kong dollars with me, but that would not be too obvious; it would push Heiyun Group to the forefront. The ruble is easy to understand. It is the national currency of the Soviet Union. Whether it is recognized in the international market or not is irrelevant, but it is used to purchase Soviet goods. There is absolutely no problem.

As for the US dollar, there is a deliberate show of goodwill; as long as Americans are not stupid, they will definitely not stand up to oppose it. After all, this is also an important stage in the process of accelerating the US dollar international currency; even the Soviet Union has to make compromises, so what reason do other countries have to oppose it.

At that time, even if the Americans want to help France, they will take it into account; if they have to sacrifice their own national interests, the capitalists are not so great. In addition, strictly speaking, France is not an obedient younger brother. Perhaps in the hearts of the proud French people, they have never recognized that they are the younger brother of the United States.

For a country that is inherently rebellious, or that is proud of itself, we really can’t be too kind to it. It is right to win over the younger brother to isolate the Soviet Union, but it also depends on whether the younger brother is worth winning over.

If the United States didn't step in at this time, it would be considered worthy of France; how could it take the initiative to help?

Less than an hour after the Soviet Union issued its statement, the Arab states acted randomly.

There is only one core meaning. In view of the many unstable factors in France, reduce the credit limit in France. Like the Soviet Union, France will only accept domestic currency and U.S. dollars for settlement in the future when purchasing oil and natural gas.

France is a large energy consumer, and during the war, its inventory was always on the priority supply front; domestic oil and natural gas stocks can last for about 20 days at most.

In the past, the Soviet Union and Middle Eastern countries had been supplying it, which was fine; saving money would eventually make it possible.

But now both the Soviet Union and Arab countries require them to pay for the goods in advance. If they say there is no conspiracy here, no one will believe it.

If it were just Arab countries, they could still exert pressure and get the other side to compromise. Lao Maozi doesn't even pay attention to Americans, so how can he listen to France? If he comes rashly, he will only bring humiliation to himself.

In order to maintain basic domestic energy consumption, only a small amount of foreign exchange can be used to purchase; otherwise, there will be no other way.

At this time, Israel, which has always been at odds with Arab countries in the Middle East, actually stood up and also lowered France's credit limit.

You must know that most of the vegetables in France are imported from Israel. With the emergence of Bao Zixuan, many high-tech companies in France are supplying chips. They are all provided by the factories of major companies in Israel. The trade volume between the two parties is not small, and francs could also be traded before; now it is difficult to accept it in dollars.

Especially at this time, France's foreign exchange controls are very strict; even large companies do not have many foreign exchange reserves. Wartime status is definitely not an empty talk!

The second son of Iraq has been in Fujairah, and it is easy to understand why the Soviet Union and Arab countries suddenly launched an attack on France; to be precise, everything was controlled by the richest man Bao behind the scenes.

But I haven't seen any contact between the other party and Israel. Could there be other unknown secrets? It’s hard to ask too many questions when it comes to Jews; I feel very conflicted at the moment.

After all, I don’t know Bao Zixuan’s true inner thoughts, so it’s not impossible to bet on both ends of the horse while riding a donkey!

Perhaps seeing the other party's doubts, Bao Zixuan did not want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings; so he smiled and said: "Israel and France are not as harmonious as they appear; of course, to put it more bluntly, they want to take back their territory. "

"After all, France is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and it has legal and historical basis. If the other party does not take the initiative, the Jews will not dare to act rashly."

Hearing this, the second young master, who is from the Middle East, immediately understood what it meant. He needed to be reminded by the other party; this really shouldn't be the case. You must consider issues more comprehensively in the future to avoid embarrassment!

France has territory in Jerusalem, a historical fact that dates back to 1. France is in the midst of a huge challenge to religious beliefs; in this case, the French government hopes to maintain its position in the Christian community by expanding the country's religious influence. status and power.

To achieve this goal, French officials decided to establish a French territory in Jerusalem; and began to build some Christian temples and other buildings there. The French territory in Jerusalem, known as the Lutheran Quarter, was a small territory administered by the French government. The main function of the Lutheran Quarter is to maintain French religious influence in Jerusalem and help protect the local Christian heritage.

Although France's territory in Jerusalem is small, it has become France's only territory in the Middle East. And it continues to this day, although its status is not the highest; France still retains this small territory in Jerusalem to maintain its status and power in Christendom.

1 has established colonies in Tunisia and Egypt, and hopes to expand its influence in the Middle East. Therefore, the French government decided to establish a territory in Jerusalem and commissioned French missionaries to build it.

In the early 19th century, French missionaries established many churches, schools, hospitals and other facilities in Jerusalem. They also established links with the local Christian community and successfully promoted French to the local area.

1 During World War 1, the British government issued the Persian Gulf Convention; promising to allocate Jerusalem and surrounding areas to France.

Although the ownership of Jerusalem is controversial, it is nominally the capital of Israel and Palestine; but everything depends on strength. Israel, known as the little bully in the Middle East, has always occupied a dominant position.

To be precise, in the hearts of the Jews, Jerusalem belongs to them; not only does it have no room for Palestinians, but the same goes for French overseas territories.

The capital of a country does not completely belong to them; the Jews can bear it. However, my strength does not allow it, and I dare not offend France easily. After all, where is the strength? If France completely falls to the Arab world, Israel's life will definitely not be easy.

Knowing that the French are short of money, and the Arab countries taking the lead to stand up, which means offending the French, they naturally have no scruples.

Israeli leaders have decided that as long as the French are willing to make concessions, they can even finance the purchase. Of course it cannot be done in the name of the country, but what the Jewish consortium is most in need of is money.

In addition, France is very short of money, so the possibility of success is very high; apart from this, there is really no other way. The opportunity cannot be lost and will never come back again, even if it offends France, it will not be hesitated.

Israel's statement has greater influence than the Soviet Union and Arab countries. The Jews have the greatest influence in the world, but there seems to be no other force that can match it.

It directly caused the collective misfire of Western countries, and no one knew what to do next; it was definitely not a wise move to offend old men, Arabs and Jews at the same time.

The best thing to do at the moment is to remain silent and shoot first; no one wants to become cannon fodder, let alone to help other countries!
