Chapter 241 The impact of the Gulf War
"The Age of Bad Movies in the Kingdom of Nord", since the comments on this title appeared, Nord's comments were crazy, but they were also criticized for the bad Movies in Nord's Kingdom at this time.≧
On the third day of the incident, Joseph submitted a letter to the Cabinet government. Smith held a cabinet meeting within an hour after reading the letter, and then a doctrine about Nord Image related review was sent to everyone.
With the issuance of the doctrine, the Nord film and television industry was in full swing, with dissatisfaction and curses. Of course, there were almost no royal family involved.
Although there were strong obstacles, the regulations continued to develop smoothly and were rectified. Some directors who failed and even had serious violations of the rules would not only be disqualified from filming screen movies, but also would also be litigated by judicial authorities and face imprisonment.
After some rectification, only more than 60 directors from Nord were left behind, and the rest of the staff were all away from Nord or went to online dramas and online movies for redevelopment.
At the same time, the rectification of movies has begun. Some unqualified or even bad reviews are directly thrown into the trash bin. Movies that are still under review will not be passed and can only be screened after re-examination. However, there are also some conscientious movies, which will be delayed due to the review, which makes some long-awaited citizens very dissatisfied.
At this moment, the Nord Royal Family also began to take action. Kate and the Cabinet government carried out a joint action to prepare for a new theater chain, which will monopolize the existing Nord film market.
The same cooperation between the previous royal family and the government, the cinema royal family or Kate accounted for 30%, the cabinet government accounted for 30%, and the local government accounted for 40%.
The location and personnel are borne by the local government, and the construction costs are paid by the royal family and the cabinet. Since the relevant equipment is produced by Apple, the cabinet still has a slight advantage. (The cabinet accounts for 60% of Apple's shares (20% of which are "rented" by the royal family)).
Cinemas are an important party to the audit, so they must be jointly funded by the cabinet, the royal family, and the local government. Only in this way can the issue of fairness and justice be guaranteed.
In January 1991, the Nord Kingdom was about to release 67 movies, including 17 important New Year films, but... Now after review and cutting, there are only twenty left, and the seventeen New Year films... there are only six left, with a cutting rate of 70%.
The cut film and television dramas can only come to the Internet to try their luck through "free" channels. The five-minute trailer made their final results very bleak, which made the audience happy and couldn't help but admire the eyes of the members of the film review team, but a new wave of criticism came again.
Members of the film review team face various frame-making and insults. There are often cases on the Internet that a well-known film critic has sex with an actress, and how the boss of a well-known film company is...
As the saying goes, habits become nature, without explanation or argument, so those navy soldiers also became bored when they came and gradually disappeared into the Internet...
Just when Nord's Internet was still arguing about who is and who is not the most intense, a new news shocked the world and the Gulf War officially began.
On January 17, 1991, under the authorization of the United Nations Security Council, a multinational force led by the United States fought a local war against Iraq to restore Kuwait's territorial integrity. This was also the war with the highest degree of modernization, the most new weapons, and the most military expenditure in the history of human war.
Multi-* teams - Kuwait, the United States, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, France, Canada, Italy, Australia, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates.
Why is there no Nord Kingdom? It is not that the Nord Kingdom agrees with Iraq's approach, but that the United Nations or the United States have not invited the Nord Kingdom at all. Don't you see that there is also the intention of partially divising European countries?
The source of the Gulf War - During the Iran-Iraq War between 1980 and 1988, Iraq owed some Arab countries, including $14 billion in debt. Iraq hoped that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries would lower oil production and raise oil prices. Repay the debt after profit. But Kuwait raised its output, causing oil prices to fall, hoping to force Iraq to resolve the border dispute between them.
However, the result is that Iraq accused Kuwait of taking advantage of the opportunity of the Iran-Iran war to establish military bases in Iraq. Iraq stated that it has made a contribution to all Arab countries in the Iran-Iran war as a buffer between other Arab countries and Iran. Therefore, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia should exempt Iraq from war loans. Iraq attempted to occupy Kuwait for strategic security reasons.
Simply put, Kuwait does not have any war ability. However, it speaks and acts to provoke the powerful Iraq. Even if the United States is in charge behind it, it still falls into the hands of Iraq. Or it does not expect that the Iraqi president is so bold.
In fact, it is not just that the President is brave, but the current international situation gives him this courage. He is gambling that he can re-establish the Barenby Empire.
However, the ending will be completely out of the extremely strong confidence of the President.
Of course, everything has nothing to do with Joseph now. He is just a bystander, watching the development of things silently. Of course, he is also quietly making money.
Oil will reach a level of forty dollars at the peak of the Gulf War. What Joseph has to do is to sell all the oil stored before quietly during this period. Yes, it is to sell it quietly, because an accident will cause turbulence in oil prices and fall back to its original level. After all, the price of oil has increased because of the small amount.
What Joseph wants to cheat is not those countries but a group of guys who want to make money through this matter. Even if this oil is sold to them, they will only quietly store it and wait for it to be sold at its peak.
A simple storage and sale allowed the Principal of Nord to make a profit of about 30 billion euros, which was 30 billion euros more than before, rather than simply selling 30 billion euros of oil.
It is enough to use 30 billion euros to build more than 3,000 cinemas. Even because of sufficient funds, these cinemas can be equipped with the best facilities and the most gorgeous cinema buildings from the beginning.
A small town and a cinema, of course, the specific appearance will be built according to the local style, and an extremely modern cinema that is out of place in a wilderness town will not be built.
Kuwait is one of the few rich countries in the world. It has always been known as the "Pearl of the Gulf". Its assets abroad are more than US$100 billion, and it also holds up to tens of billions of dollars in important Western industries.
Foreign assets exceed US$100 billion, which is a very terrifying figure. Even the current Nord Kingdom cannot be compared easily. However, with this storm, I believe that if Nord occupy the entire Western European oil market, then the future Nord Kingdom...
By the end of 1990, the oil imports of Western Europe reached 8.235 million barrels. Now the Nord Kingdom's oil production is only more than three million barrels per day. Joseph understands that the time for a real oil outbreak has arrived.
During the Gulf War
At 2 a.m. local time on January 17, 1991, when Iraq refused to implement Security Council resolution 678, multinational air force air force attacked Iraq and launched the "Desert Storm". The US air raid began.
At the same time, Nord announced the discovery of new oil fields in Western Sahara, and the daily oil production of Nord's Principality reached 3.8 million barrels. Britain, the United States and Western European countries were slightly upset when they heard this. Then they continued to participate in the Gulf War in a restless manner, and the oil prices fluctuated slightly.
In February 1991, the multinational forces gradually gained an overwhelming advantage and eliminated Iraq's garrison in Kuwait. At this time, Nord officially issued a new announcement that a second large oil field was discovered in the Western Sahara region, with the Nord Kingdom oil production reaching more than 3.2 million barrels per day.
Britain and the United States were shocked, and the Kingdom of Morocco was slightly in turmoil.
On the second day, the Nord Kingdom prepared a New Year parade to commemorate Joseph's great mother in China. The total number of troops participating in the military parade reached 30,000, including tank troops, missile troops and artillery troops.
Elite army soldiers walked in front of the Governor's Mansion of Western Sahara with their heads held high. Joseph waved with his soldiers kindly in the Governor's Mansion. Advanced air force fighters sometimes tumbling and sometimes diving rapidly, and the performance of the fighter was clear at a glance.
On the third day, the commotion in Morocco stopped, and the soldiers who had originally increased to the border returned to their original location. The King of Morocco was preparing to visit the Kingdom of Nord for a friendly visit.
On February 15, 1991, Iraq announced its willingness to accept Security Council resolution 660 and withdraw its troops from Kuwait with conditions.
At this time, the Gulf War was coming to an end. Multiple teams, especially the United States, fully demonstrated the advantages and importance of electronic warfare. At the same time, the advanced technology of the Nord Kingdom also shocked all countries. Of course, it was more of a deterrent.
At this time, the daily oil production of the Nord Kingdom had reached 5 million barrels, and it had successfully signed oil trade contracts with Western European countries. The oil income alone was 80 billion euros per year.
What is the number of 80 billion euros?
It can be said that the GDP of the Nord Kingdom last year was only 200 billion euros. Of course, if the 80 billion euros are included this year, the GDP of the Nord Kingdom in 1991 may exceed 300 billion euros.
The world ranking of 300 billion euros will fluctuate between 11 and 15, and its competitors are China, South Korea, Australia, Mexico and the Netherlands.
The world's top ten economies are a threshold. There is not much difference between the ten, but more than ten... Each one may have a difference of 100 billion euros or even more.
It can be said that there is still a long way from the Nord Kingdom to enter the top ten, especially compared with China, the population base itself makes China stand in an unbeaten position. It is only a matter of time to enter the top ten or even the top three. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
