"Oil prices have fallen, but our oil market in Western Europe already accounts for 80%. I am worried that it will cause the United States..."

Joseph, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly opened it, then shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, although the Gulf War has just ended and the United States is in full swing now, we are not Iraq. He has encountered many obstacles, many. △↗”

The Nord Kingdom is not Iraq. It is one of the EU member states and has considerable influence internationally. Moreover, its military power is still a mystery. At least it is not weaker than Western European countries. The United States will not start a war so recklessly.

"How is the situation in the Soviet Union?"

There is not much to discuss in the Gulf War. What is really worth noting is the Soviet Union. This is a major global event because it represents the formal dominance of the United States.

"It's not good. Some members of the KGB want to be protected by us, and some countries in Eastern Europe frequently contact us, hoping to be recognized by us."

"Agree with their request, our Ministry of Internal Affairs needs these elite intelligence personnel, and at the same time, the collapse of the Soviet Union is about to be held, it is in our interest to make friends with these Eastern European countries. There is a saying in the East..."

"It's better to help you in time than to add icing on the cake!"

"Smith, it seems you have some insights into Chinese culture."

Joseph was really surprised that Smith could even say such a thing.

"There is no way, the number of Nord Chinese is quite large. If you want to get the support of their votes, understanding some Chinese culture is an indispensable condition."

Joseph laughed silently, it turned out that the Prime Minister's voting system also had this effect.

A few days later, news came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the civil war in Sierra Leone was heard.

Sierra Leone is located in the central Africa and is located in the western coastal area. The neighbors next to it are Liberia and Guinea, which are both places where the political situation is not very clear.

The civil war was launched by the Revolutionary United Front and Charles Taylor's Liberian National Patriotic Front, while the other was Sierra Leone President Joseph Momo.

The leader of the Revolutionary United Front was former Army Corporal Fodi Sanko. He was under the banner of "opposing dictatorship" and "democratic reform". When he led the "Royal Front" to rebel, he had enough reason to win widespread support - many Sierra Leoneans were deeply disappointed with the continuous military coups and the incompetence of successive governments, and secretly sympathized with and supported Sanko.

On the other side of the union, Charles Taylor is the former president of Liberia, a military leader, and a dictator. It is hard to imagine a leader of the revolutionary United Front under the banner of "opposing dictatorship" and "democratic reform" mixed with the dictator of another country. From this, we can see that all propaganda is false and only interests are real.

Charles Taylor was one of Africa's most well-known warlords during the Liberian Civil War in the early 1990s. He was elected president after the Civil War, but he was forced to go into exile soon after.

This is a greedy guy who has been fed over a million dollars during the presidency. This time he helped Fody Sanco, who obviously also has his own interests.

Sierra Leone is like most former colonial African countries. Since gaining independence from the former British colonial rule in 1961, it has taken an uneven path both politically and economically.

Military government has become the main way of state power change. The dictatorship and the atmosphere is getting worse day by day. The economic structure is single, and the rich benefits brought by rich natural and mineral resources are always concentrated in the hands of a few people. The prosperity of central cities is in sharp contrast with the closed and backward villages, and the dissatisfaction of rural areas with cities is getting deeper and deeper. As long as someone leads the lead, there is no need to worry that no one will rise up to respond to the rebellion.

Sierra Leone is rich in diamonds and is a famous "blood diamond" production place. Therefore, many foreign forces are also very jealous of Sierra Leone. All countries have their own power here.

Because of the civil war in neighboring Liberia, Sanko's rebellion had a convenient source of weapons. The early activities of the RUF were mainly concentrated in rural areas. The organization used the excuse of corruption and swearing to "drive the military regime out of the capital Freetown and completely eradicate the presidential election system."

The civil war in Sierra Leone was a matter of Africa. The Kingdom of Nord had considerable influence in Africa, and what made Joseph most jealous was the population of Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone is a small territory, but its population is as high as six million. Most of them are young and middle-aged people, and they are laborers in urgent need of the Nord Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, Joseph and the Cabinet government negotiated urgently, and then ships carrying trade contracts arrived in Sierra Leone. President Joseph Momo held the reception affectionately.

Freetown Presidential Palace Conference Room

"Mr. Schumann, you mean the Kingdom of Nord is willing to support our large number of advanced weapons and does not require diamond collateral?"

"Yes, we just hope to recruit some young labor force, about 200,000. If possible, then the 300 million euros light weapons will be delivered to the harbor zone within two weeks."

"Two hundred thousand laborers?"

"Yes, but we need Sierra Leone citizens to voluntarily go there because it takes a long time and if they want to, they can bring their families, but the related fees need to be deducted from their future salary."

Joseph Momo was a little distracted and a cup of coffee. After thinking about it, I felt that this was not a big disadvantage for me. Although it would cause some turmoil to me, wasn't that the same for Fodi Sanko?

Especially he relies on the regular army, while Fodi Sanko relies on the power of citizens. If the number of citizens he controls now may be a good thing for him.

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation!”

Joseph Momo was very happy because he felt that he used his worthless manpower to exchange for a batch of excellent weapons, and Schumann was also very happy because he used a batch of worthless weapons to exchange for the most lacking labor force in the Nord Kingdom.

As long as the population of the Nord Kingdom does not reach 10 million, they will never dislike their large population. After all, there are many oasis in the vast desert and they need the population to go to development and live.

The heavy industry in the Kingdom of Nord began to develop. Not to mention the others, even Audi directly led by hundreds of thousands of jobs, not to mention that there are some steel mills, shipyards, railway engineering teams, and transportation groups in the Kingdom of Nord...

There is no scarcity of jobs in the Nord Kingdom, and even everything is in a state of demand. Even if the population is growing very fast every year, those are newborns and have no help to the labor force needed.

The salary problem is that a new era has arrived, and the salary of the Nord Kingdom has suddenly increased a lot, and some company employees even have more annual salary than they used to be.

According to statistics, the average annual salary of citizens in the Kingdom of Nord has exceeded 16,000, which is really very average. Eighty-five percent of citizens have reached 15,000, and the remaining 15 percent are above 16,000.

More than fifteen percent of these are national civil servants, engineers, and soldiers. This is the highest income group in the Nord Kingdom. Even an ordinary town civil servant has an annual income of the uppermost level in the overall country.

The citizens of the Nord Kingdom have a rich nightlife every day. During the day, most of them choose to play games at home, go out to watch movies, go shopping, browse various landscapes, play in the leisure square or listen to open-air music.

Because they have a lot of money left, they will choose to travel farther places on Saturdays and Sundays, especially during the winter and summer vacations, there are many tourists from Nord and there are more citizens going out. Countries can be said to have frequent competition for signing tourism contracts with Nord Kingdom. After all, citizens of Nord Kingdom are famous for their high consumption.

It is said that a Nord citizen went to China for a trip. Because he saw some beautiful handmade items that were very cheap, he even spent thousands of euros to buy more than a dozen boxes and specially consigned them back to the Nord Kingdom.

The facts proved that her approach was correct, because when she returned to the Kingdom of Nord, the jewelry in her hands brought her tens of thousands of euros in profit, which was simply a huge profit.

What is the most valuable thing in the Kingdom of Nord? It is not a machine item but a handmade product. Nord Kingdom is a country that respects the fruits of labor very much. Every object made from hard work can be bought here for more than ten or even dozens of euros.

How much does it cost to spend more than ten or dozens of euros? The currency converted into China is sixty or hundreds of yuan. How much does a handmade jewelry cost in China? It’s just a few cents.

The profits in this are as high as more than ten or even dozens of times. It is not impossible to turn a thousand euros into tens of thousands of euros, nor is it a hype or exaggeration.

Weekends are sometimes the time when Nord citizens dislike seeing it the most, because the weekly bills will come with the arrival of salary, as well as phone bills, utility bills, pension bills, etc.

Some citizens who save money calculate it from one side and are very happy that they can spend two or three hundred euros. Those guys with higher expenses are different. They will find that they not only have no balance but also owe a lot of debts.

Royal Nord Bank is very relaxed to citizens. As long as you have a job, even if you owe hundreds of euros in your bank card, it will not pay attention to you, but if it is too many, it will be different...

The Nord Kingdom only owns one bank of Nord Royal Bank, so most of Nord citizens only have a bank card, and wages, taxes, water, electricity, pensions, etc. will appear and deduct them. Therefore, most citizens get the salary after deducting water, electricity, and taxes.

The bill is a proof that if there is an error, you can go to the local court to conduct a lawsuit. Anyone who encounters such a situation is very happy, because the lawsuit is 100% successful, and he can eventually get compensation ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of euros.
