"This was just reported from the Baltic Patrol." A man with a horse face and glasses handed over a document very solemnly.
After the old Mediterranean man behind the desk took the file and opened the first page, veins appeared on his forehead and his identity trembled slightly.
Secretary-General Williams looked at the old Mediterranean man with some worry, fearing that he would be too excited and suffer a cerebral hemorrhage or heart attack accidentally.
Bang! The old Mediterranean man smashed the documents on his desk, with an angry look on his face: "That's too much! Pirate! Bastard! Hooligan!"
The secretary-general and the intelligence officer who reported the information both lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.
"Harley, has the damage been assessed?"
Intelligence officer Harley looked bitter: "It has been assessed. Even if we repair it now, it is still unknown whether the pipeline can be repaired before the end of the year, especially since there is a shadow of a black ship behind this incident..."
"Damn the upstarts of the New World, a bunch of pirates..." The old Mediterranean man cursed angrily again. He cursed for several minutes, but he couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.
But he soon got tired, so he sat back in his seat and rubbed his temples to relieve the stress and headache.
After resting for a while, the old Mediterranean man still suppressed his anger and madness and called several cabinet ministers to come to his office.
Less than an hour.
In the office, several core cabinet ministers arrived.
Orlando, the economic minister in charge of the economy, said with a panicked look: "Just now, the price of the natural gas futures market soared by 84%..."
"As expected." William, the Minister of Industry, said expressionlessly.
"Now we can only purchase natural gas from North America to replenish our inventory, and the price of North American natural gas has climbed to US$250 million per shipment." Economic Secretary Orlando already felt that something was wrong at this time, and he continued very anxiously:
"The economic crisis and the North American stock market crash have spread to the whole world. Now our stock market has also plummeted, and it is even more serious."
Industry Minister William's poker face showed only numbness and helplessness: "Major chemical industry, metal smelting, and glass manufacturing companies have complained to us that the cost of electricity and fuel is rising sharply, and they can hardly bear it."
The old Mediterranean man looked at the situation in front of him, and his head almost exploded.
The war in Kiev, soaring gas costs, the global stock market crash, and the loss of the Southeast Asian market. At the same time, it faces global competition from Homo sapiens companies and the financial harvest of America.
None of this series of events is good.
He couldn't help but lament in his heart: Why do so many things happen to me when it's my turn? Why am I so unlucky? I really want to walk away...
But he still had at least some sense in his heart, so he could only force himself to calm down and continue the discussion with other cabinet members.
It is very necessary to rescue the market and stabilize the industry.
If it is not saved, the consequence will be that Germany will be forced to deindustrialize. Germany, which was founded on industry, will lose its industry and it will be no different than having a broken leg.
But the old man from the Mediterranean also knew very well that America's military base was in Germany, and the space for him to operate was too small.
Disaster!
It’s so difficult!
At this time, the old Mediterranean man suddenly felt a little envious of West Asia's position.
If Germany was in West Asia at this time, America would never dare to harvest like this because the Homo sapiens company is right next to it.
With Homo sapiens and America pulling each other's back, all parties in West Asia can now have both sides. America is afraid that it will push all parties in West Asia and allow Homo sapiens to take advantage of the situation.
Germany is too far away from the base camp of Homo sapiens, and Homo sapiens has no interest at all in Europe.
…
The weather has turned cold for Lucia.
Heating has started inside the Kremlin Palace.
Caesar, who was warming himself by the fire, listened to the report from the Cossack leader and looked through several documents expressionlessly.
After listening to the report, he waved his hand: "Let them go! When winter comes, they will naturally know our importance."
"Should we continue to pay attention to the situation in the Baltic Sea?"
Caesar thought for a while: "Continue to pay attention."
The Cossack leader nodded: "Yes."
He put down the document on the Far East Gas Pipeline and had already signed his name. Caesar looked at the oil painting on the wall, which was a portrait of Emperor Catherine the Great.
Rubbing his temples, he was also a little tired. Although the Kiev war was in a quagmire, it did not make Caesar feel that it could not be solved.
He held his cheek and squinted at the world map on his left.
The large area in Southeast Asia has been changed to lavender.
"Homo sapiens company...the timing of your appearance is perfect!"
Looking at the Homo sapiens company in Southeast Asia, Caesar became more and more happy. Without the emergence of the sapiens company, Lucia's current situation would definitely be more difficult.
Caesar picked up another document, which was about the application for approval of Homo sapiens company to open a branch in the Far East.
Although he is wary of the infiltration ability of Homo Sapiens Corporation and its deceptive high welfare, Caesar understands that everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Since it has been decided to open the Far East to the Khitans, he can naturally open it to Homo sapiens.
This was also Caesar's helpless choice. He tried to find a balance in the openness, and he introduced the power of Homo sapiens to put the three parties in a balance.
Of course, Caesar is also wary of Homo sapiens and does not allow Homo sapiens companies to recruit employees in the Far East on their own. All employees recruited in the Far East must be approved and reviewed by Lucia.
In addition, Homo sapiens companies are restricted from operating supermarkets and schools.
Currently only Homo sapiens companies are allowed to invest in farms and forestry, hospitals, mining, transportation, warehousing and finance.
These industries are also the result of discussions between Caesar and a group of staff, weighing the pros and cons.
Lucia now needs Homo sapiens companies so much that it has to open up so many industries.
Whether it is Homo sapiens' medicine, daily necessities, electronic products, or cars, these have effectively filled Lucia's demand gap.
Lucia also obtained a lot of gold dollars through the export of large quantities of refined crude ore, oil and natural gas.
Except for industrial overlap in the grain field, the two sides basically have no overlap in other directions.
Of course, this is Caesar's own wishful thinking.
The Homo sapiens company now imports a large amount of various ores, oil and natural gas, not because it does not have any, but because it deliberately does not exploit its own resources in order to maintain trade balance and protect its own resources.
Otherwise, with Homo sapiens' biological mineral enrichment technology, ultra-deep mining technology, and bacterial lysis technology, the minerals, oil and natural gas within the territory can be completely self-sufficient.
At present, the onshore and submarine oil and gas fields near Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and Timor are basically in a state of protective exploitation.
Deep mineral veins in various places are also in a state of protective mining.
As the exploration efforts of Homo sapiens companies become more and more intense, the reserves of various mineral resources are also increasing.
Therefore, Caesar thought that Lucia and the Homo sapiens industry were complementary, but in fact it was an illusion deliberately created by the Homo sapiens company.
Once they really break up, Homo sapiens will rub Lucia's oil, gas, and mineral mining industries to the ground in minutes.
Regarding Caesar's good self-feeling, Homo sapiens Company did not expose the other party.
Now is a good time to cultivate path dependence. Once the economy is penetrated by Homo sapiens companies, Lucia will not be able to get rid of Homo sapiens companies.
