Returning from the low-magic world, do artificial intelligence first.

Although Gaul and Britain are the second of Blue Star's top five leaders, they are usually jokingly referred to as the lower five permanent members.

The main reason for this was that something went wrong when Gaul and Britain jointly used the veto for the first time.

In order to regain the glory of the empire after World War II, these two old empires planned to intervene in Egypt to regain control of the throat of fate.

The proposals made by Damei and Big Maoxiong were all rejected by one vote.

Then, oh well, Damei and Big Maoxiong joined forces, and directly confused the two old empires that dreamed of returning to glory.

The anticlimactic hastily ended the original plan. Not only did the dream not come back, but the future was also lost.

Since then, it has been in a slump, and the veto power is usually used together with Damei.

but……

Even if it is a lame Wuchang, it is still Wuchang!
Still at the top of Blue Star!

Maybe everyone's eyes will be on the top players, and they also like to compare their own country with all the strongest points of the world's major countries.

But it is undeniable that the old empire also has their heritage.

As far as Gaul is concerned, it is not because they surrendered quickly enough during World War II that they were able to obtain the current seat. A large reason is Gaul's huge influence in Africa.

And this kind of influence has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it is much more important than many people imagined.

Mainly concentrated in 31 French-speaking countries in Northwest Africa.

The blackening of Gaul is so serious now, it is actually a kind of backlash to some extent.

Although these 31 countries have been established in name long ago, after Gaul itself has used the euro to abolish the franc for so long, most of them are still using the CFA franc.

In the past, Gaul was completely ignored, and the right to mint coins was still in the hands of Gaul. All countries using CFA francs had to hand over 65% of their foreign exchange reserves.

Well, handing over 65% of the 'preferential conditions' was a compromise made by a person who wanted to abolish the CFA franc and was assassinated at the door of the representative office before he succeeded. Before that, it was handing in [-]%.

To a certain extent, today’s routine of harvesting the world with American knives, Gaul has long been used in Africa with an even uglier appearance, and obtained abundant resources at a very low cost.

A Gaul speaker once said that [-]% of every franc was brought from Africa to Gaul.

In order to stabilize this back garden, and their leftists came to power, some immigration restrictions were lifted in the 70s, which led to the bitter fruit of today.

But it is undeniable that the effect of their move is extremely significant, stabilizing the originally precarious back garden in an instant, and a large number of spiritual Gauls and compradors successfully completed remote control in a disguised form.

At least, before the people who experienced that era lost their power, Gaul's position in Africa was almost as stable as Mount Tai.

In the past half a century, Gaul has intervened twenty times in Africa. It was because of Gaul's foundation that Gaul was shaken, and Cadano let him take the lead in attacking.

It's just that most of the time, Gaul is covered under a halo of beauty.

This is actually why Gaul sometimes has the confidence to refute Damei.

And Damei is not as convenient as other dog legs when ordering Gaul, and will beat him from time to time.

Airbus and Alstom, which was robbed by Damei, belong to Gaul, and one of the four major grain merchants also belongs to Gaul.

In recent years, because a rabbit ran over in Africa and demonstrated what is called contrast, the back garden of Gaul has also become unstable.

The situation in Africa is also becoming more and more sensitive.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo happens to be an important piece of the puzzle in Gaul's sphere of influence!
As a result, now, the back garden has been entered, not to mention, there are real 'magic' resources here!
Naturally, Gaul would not be given the slightest chance of giving up.

After learning the news through multiple channels, even Damei's words were kept low-key, Gaul directly released cruel words officially.

"Unauthorized mining of minerals in other sovereign countries, what is Umbrella's intention?!"

It can be said that recently, all parties are concerned about the product of Umbrella's last press conference.

Waiting for the release of the new machine, and when the "Tracker" electric car was rolled off the production line, Gaul's official wording suddenly made all parties very confused.

What the hell!

Damei now pays attention to her wording when speaking with Umbrella, is Gaul so bold?

This made many people who had the impression of Gaul that 'no one can occupy Paris before Gaul surrendered' feel a little caught off guard.

The contrast is really too great.

Pretty and fierce, that's what he's always been like, just like no one would expect Street Liuzi to be so polite all of a sudden.

"According to our information, Umbrella is illegally staying and mining minerals in the rainforest of the Congo Basin. We are telling Umbrella not to do whatever he wants just because he has advanced technology and force..."

Gaul's eloquent words gradually made people who were suddenly shocked by the news gradually understand what happened.

Umbrella mining minerals inside Congo?
Or illegal mining?

Not so!

Umbrella does have a lot of obsession with minerals, and the big purchases of buying and buying have forced up the global price of minerals by himself.

There are many minerals acquired by Umbrella, and there are limited reserves like lithium. It can be said that the global bulk ore business has risen as a whole, and some of them have risen exaggeratedly.

Especially the price of silver is skyrocketing, and it has been listed as a strategic material by many countries, soaring higher and higher!

but!
For a long time, even for kangaroos that have been subdued, Umbrella likes to use the model of throwing money, so that others are willing to sell it!
Their force is more like a means of protecting themselves from being robbed of the property they bought.

At least for now, everyone, including the pretty allies, feel that Umbrella's force is much safer than the pretty.

They are very strong and skilled, but they won't come out of nowhere and find an excuse to mess with you just because you have a lot of resources, and sometimes they don't even bother to find excuses.

This time, even if Gaul spoke, many people would not believe it.

More in favor of what agreement Umbrella and Congo have negotiated.

"Is Gaul angry when he sees his back garden being cut off?"

"Why does Umbrella mine illegally? Just use money to knock Congo unconscious, dig casually, and the locals cooperate."

"Why don't I believe it? But Gallic courage is really fat."

"..."

However, regardless of the discussions among many people who eat melons, Umbrella's positive official reply still attracted a lot of surprises, because Umbrella did not deny all of them, but only pointed out some problems

"First of all, we discovered that place because of the people who tracked down the mysterious organization. Before we arrived, the people from the mysterious organization had been there for a long time.

"Secondly, we are occupying escrow right now, but we haven't 'mined' yet. Generally speaking, we still prefer to use money to solve problems."

It was a very calm response, but someone keenly noticed the difference!
'Escrow' 'usually'!
The meaning of this word can be seen as almost undisguised.

When necessary, they will 'unusually'!
Chapter 440 Brewing

"Magic power! It must be related to magic power!"

"Yes, Umbrella now controls the most silver mines in the world. He has also bought a lot of other mineral resources during this period. There is no shortage at all. Is there anything worthy of them? The only thing that can only be related to magic power !"

"Yes, is there anything that has a greater influence on magic power than silver?"

"Umbrella felt that he had gotten into a fight with that mysterious organization, and chased him down until he found important resources."

"It's so domineering, but I like it."

"..."

It can be said that whether it is Gaul's abnormally tough attitude or Umbrella's response, it has attracted many people who eat melons.

Yes, Gaul is not as swaying around the world as Damei, and surprise attacks are not so deterrent to them.

But no matter what, your family also has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, right?Aren't you afraid that people will miss you?

This can only show that the interests involved this time are large enough!

This is true for both parties.

The incident took place in Africa, and Damei put on a posture of watching a show this time, but only expressed her support for Gaul, expressing her agreement with their views, and then said nothing else.

The tax has already been increased, are you not afraid of Umbrella's anti-sanction last time?

Besides, if Gaul is occupied, he, as an ally, wants to come and study together, he won't, um, can't object, right?

Of course it's good to have a punch!
Is Umbrella's previous attitude, reverse sanctions, very beautiful?
Of course also angry!

It's just that the family is big and the business is big, and there are many bottles and cans in the house, so there is no way.

Soon, Gaul took some economic measures first.

Relying on its status in the European Union, it forced a push to restrict access to Umbrella's new electric car.

Prussia itself is also a big country in the automobile manufacturing industry, and has a resistance to new energy vehicles. In fact, it does not rely much on Umbrella. It also has this idea, but at the beginning it was inclined to increase taxes, and it also did not want to tear its face. .

Now that Gaul suddenly jumped out to actively resist the thunder and attract hatred, he was naturally happy to hide behind.

But Umbrella didn't even bother to respond to the sanctions and measures that Gaul kept jumping around.

Instead, start to attack the Congo with all your strength!

Simply put, it is throwing money!
Yes, if the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem.

Umbrella didn't want to use force if it wasn't necessary.

But this time, the unstoppable money offensive has somewhat failed on the Congo side.

In other words, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is caught in the middle at this time.

Gauls were behind the two Congo Wars. For Africa, they will really come!

Yes, Umbrella is strong.

The regiment wiped out the kangaroo navy did it all.

The economic strength is also rich and powerful.

However, no matter what, the total size is here. After it comes to reality, how can it compete with a real powerful country?

Yes, it can form an asymmetrical blow, but people with thick blood can resist it hard!
The kangaroo can be regarded as an isolated island and is extremely dependent on sea transportation. Umbrella can easily pinch the lifeblood.

However, it is not suitable to use this to threaten Gaul. It is impossible to attack cargo ships indiscriminately.

Now it can be said that there are reasons for not retreating on both sides, but it is to let the Democratic Republic of the Congo who is caught in the middle go straight to Muggles.

Subsequently, the Congolese had no choice but to make an official announcement
"There are traces of rebel activities in the rainforest, which are not within our control. Now we hire Umbrella to clean up the rebels, and at the same time invite Gaul to provide military support. As for the 'magic mine', the discoverer can mine it for a fee. Specifically The amount can be discussed in detail 'after discovery'..."

It can be said that the response of Congo Gold made Gaul very dissatisfied. Yes, it seems that the two are not helping each other, and even directly let the two sides let go on their own land. To some extent, it still helped the larger Gaul some more.

Otherwise, if it's just a small-scale local confrontation between the two sides, then Gaul himself knows that he can't do it.

It's just that this has always been my back garden!

Just this is not enough!
You must completely stand on your side to condemn Umbrella's invasion, and let yourself take the moral high ground!

In fact, for small countries, sometimes neutrality has to face enormous pressure.

In order to achieve his own goals, Gaul also responded in an extremely high-profile manner.

"It is because of the incompetence of your speakers that the rebels have not stopped."

The speaker of Gaul directly criticized the speaker of another country with his superior direct comments in front of the media.

Although in terms of national strength, the two sides are indeed completely incomparable.

However, this kind of merciless public humiliation still embarrasses the person involved in the DRC.

He went straight out and replied
"Stop looking at us with the eyes of the former colonists! Put away your superior attitude!"

It can be said that originally Gaul just wanted to step on the opponent to show its influence in Africa.

After all, normally speaking, the other party should not open their mouths to refute.

However, the change in reality caught him completely off guard!
Gaul, who has been lying on Africa and used to sucking blood, never expected to get this kind of response.

This time it was a face-to-face, and he didn't step down the steps at all.

But fortunately, Congo has not withdrawn the original commitment, so let’s talk about it and say it. Here is the comparison of the strengths of the two sides.

Even at this level, I dare not fall directly to Umbrella, but still put it out of my control, whoever gets it, just give me some share in the end.

This, in fact, is also the sorrow of a weak country, and there is nothing that can be done!
No choice!
So what if you object?
People will still come to make people laugh.

There are countless similar examples.

Maybe someone will say a few words, but when this kind of thing becomes the norm, they will acquiesce in the status quo.

It can be said that the sudden intensified conflict between Gaul and Umbrella was all due to the sudden appearance of interests.

Neither side can give up!

After that, there is the traditional public opinion blowing.

This time Gaul obviously wanted to get serious, and even prepared for the worst.

The strength of Umbrella's missiles is here, and it is really possible to destroy the aircraft carrier.

In case of the worst phenomenon, he has to rely on the early blowing to pave the way!
However, paying such a high risk, the final return is worth it.

Once you can understand the technology and secrets, it is very likely that you will be able to open the door to a new world like Umbrella today!
Perhaps it was also because of this that Umbrella was so overbearing this time.

Subsequently, various parties around the world began to express their views one after another.

Mexico and Pakistan directly stand against Umbrella
"The rebels were probably instigated by a mysterious organization, so Umbrella was only helping the Congo to suppress the rebellion. It was not Shanggang's turn to go online. We also invited them to help. Their service attitude is very good."

"Threatening in the name of an old empire at every turn is against the demeanor of a great country."

Then the rabbit, the kangaroo, and the bear also successively issued neutral statements of Lizhongke.

We call on all parties to remain calm and return to dialogue.

Some other forces that have prejudices against the West have almost made similar remarks.

But then, most of the Gaul and the North Atlantic Organization headed by Damei, including other forces, expressed their condemnation of Umbrella.

A company, in less than three years, is about to challenge Wuchang publicly and positively!
This is completely different from the kangaroo time!
Later, satellites and nearby yachts photographed that the Boeing 747-8 cargo plane bought by Umbrella took off from their Penglai and headed straight for Mexico...

Well, the location of Africa and Penglai is almost the opposite of the earth. Even the voyage of 747-8 needs to be transferred.

Judging from the photos taken on the yacht, these Boeing 747-8 cargo planes are covered in dark paint.

When the most cost-effective transport plane was all painted black, it inexplicably brought out a sense of depression and shock...

Chapter 440 Seven Preparations
Mexico, Mexico City Airport, a Boeing 747-8 cargo plane is landing on the airport runway in the dark.

The whole body is painted in black paint, still with the help of night.

Except for the flashing warning lights on the fuselage, this black behemoth can only be seen almost when it lands!

Moreover, it is obviously a civilian aircraft, but it has obviously undergone a lot of modifications, and even the external missiles can be seen!
This made the staff of Mexico City Airport, who had only received the communication signal and had no response from the radar, be speechless for a while.

"Good guy, the radar is not responding, and there are missiles attached? Direct transport planes become bombers?"

"The structure of the aircraft itself is very important. It is very difficult to make a small change, but Umbrella did it, and it can fly very stably."

"Hey, it's the kind of missile that hits kangaroos, it's awesome!"

"Haha, let those Gauls still be embarrassed!"

"..."

Umbrella's status in Mexico has continued to improve over time!
You must know that some of Umbrella's factories have also begun to expand, and the number of jobs provided is scary.

And those farms that drove away the local merchants were also planted with the materials that Umbrella needed.

For small countries, the sudden surge in profits can easily make people feel the overall improvement in living standards.

It's like a factory is built next to a backward village, so that the villagers can go to work, and their income is much higher than before.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people feel these things the most, so Mexico did not hesitate to stand aside Umbrella when speaking publicly, and this time also agreed to Umbrella's use of the airport.

Now that Umbrella is deeply integrated into the Mexican country, there is not much difference between dealing with Umbrella and dealing with the Mexican country itself.

But after all, this is a civilian airport. Although Umbrella's special forces guard can ensure safety, there are some situations that cannot be avoided...

In addition to the airport staff, several strange passengers were continuously filming the landing of the plane.

The external missile was also photographed.

Damn it!

Obviously they have shown such excellent stealth, you actually delivered this big plane to the opposite side.

The direct transport plane has become a stealth bomber!

What the hell!
The bomb load of the B-2 is only 23 tons.

What's going on here?
But they are also intelligence personnel, just send back the information silently, the others are completely helpless...

……

"Shit! Look at the good things those nouveau riche have done!"

Because of the information sharing, Gaul also got the information and pictures from Da Meili.

It's just lying in place.

Stealth bomber?
There is only one big beauty in the world!

As a result, Umbrella directly took the transport plane and changed it out?

You Temo are too exaggerated!
In the past, after Umbrella's missile was launched by helicopter, someone saw the problem with the batch of 747-8 they purchased.

The helicopters are all hung up, but the transport plane can't take off?

It's just that the idea at the time was that the 747 flew outside the defense zone and then launched invisible hypersonic missiles.

It is indeed difficult to deal with, and it has a fatal blow to the fleet.

But now even the plane has become invisible? !

How can such a large structure be made invisible?

Just look at the accident rate of B2.

The cost is 24 billion U.S. dollars, and the structure obviously does not conform to the normal aircraft structure for the sake of stealth performance. Therefore, various failures are prone to occur during landing and take-off, and the control mainly depends on system adjustment.

But look at others, just buy a ready-made aircraft at one-tenth of the price, go back and tinker with it, and it will come out.

Fortunately, Airbus still wanted to grab this order. If Temo really sells Airbus planes, wouldn’t you beat yourself up?
"The intelligence shared by everyone is about stealth coatings, and they are now modifying some high-power radars, trying to burn through the coatings. No matter how bad it is, it can heat up the aircraft, and then use passive radars to lock it. .”

In order to target this kind of invisible thing, under the arrangement of the organization, several major arms dealers cooperated and quickly ordered some goods, and prepared to support Gaul.

No matter what, there is no doubt that Damei's scientific research level is indeed here!

Passive radar is designed to receive signals such as infrared rays to make corresponding judgments. Although it also has various restrictions, it is also one of the means to deal with stealth aircraft.

The first stealth fighter to be shot down that year was because of passive radar.

And the stuff works even better at night because of the sun's interference.

Although this set of tools is cumbersome to use and has great limitations, it is not very good at dealing with hypersonic missiles, and the speed is too fast and the reaction time is not enough.

But if it's just purely dealing with bombers, there is still a chance.

Although Gaul was scolding his mother, he still accepted Damei's kindness.

In fact, they know that this is just Damei's purpose to test the effect and let herself punch her head.

But because it involves core interests, they have to bite the bullet this time.

I still don’t believe it, your company consumes more energy than your own country!
However, it still takes some time to prepare. Now the Gaul side is mainly based on the momentum of public opinion, and at the same time, fighters have begun to use their own military bases in Africa to start mobilizing.

That's right, they are not going to dispatch the aircraft carrier this time, the excuse is that the aircraft carrier is under maintenance.

Originally, this nuclear-powered aircraft carrier often had problems of one kind or another. Is the maintenance normal?
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, anyway, that's what I said...

……

Regardless of Gaul's preparations, Umbrella started the deployment and transportation of materials step by step.

The 747 was ejected and docked at a civilian airport, and its stealth performance was directly exposed, just to delay time!

In the absence of Gaul's navy, it is very cumbersome to mobilize them, even if they have many bases in Africa.

During this time, Umbrella can do a lot.

While mobilizing personnel and materials, the Congolese authorities have also been trying to appease and win over.

At the same time, on the other side, Umbrella's representative flew directly to Maple Leaf Country and came to a company in Maple Leaf Country.

First Quantum Minerals Inc.

"I knew you would come. If you want to use commercial means to spend money, please go back. We won't sell it, and we won't make any more money."

The president of First Quantum Minerals sighed helplessly when he heard the front desk said that Umbrella's man-made visit was not the slightest surprise.

They have a lot of mining rights in the Congo, and there is also a copper-silver mine, the Dikulush copper-silver mine.

Although it is not a very rich mining area, with a total reserve of 190 million tons of ore, but now that the price of silver has soared into the sky, it has undoubtedly become a favorite.

Even the status of First Quantum itself has risen.

But at the same time, because they hold the mining area, they have already received double warnings from Maple Leaf and Dameimei.

This is a strategic material that affects national security. If it is to be sold or changed, it must be approved.

In particular, Umbrella was named.

Umbrella likes to throw money, they are afraid that this kind of mineral capital will not stand the test.

Sure enough, they really came here with sincerity!

Umbrella has many silver mines in Mexico, which is actually enough for its own needs.

But since there are also silver mines in the Congo, naturally they cannot be wasted.

This is connected to the abyss, and the consumption of building the mage tower itself is only one of them. There will inevitably be new consumption in the future. It is very important to have a supply point at a close distance.

After all, it is inconvenient for Umbrella to destroy the rainforest, and the cost of transportation is still very high.

"You said that using commercial means is not enough, that is to say, there are ways to do it through other means?"

Li Yao looked at the other side with a smile on his representative's vest.

Capitalists are very slippery, and sometimes, it is really not a warning.

"For example, you threatened me. If I am worried about my safety, and if the price is high enough, I am willing to give up the property rights of the mining area and return them to the Congolese authorities."

Speaking of this, the CEO of First Quantum also took a careful look at the face on the other side, and continued to speak after seeing no reaction.
"In addition, we want to enter new fields and open some offline sales points, such as selling some cars and so on, but there is still a lack of high-quality products..."

When the benefits are large enough, what is the warning?
It's not that we want to sell, we were forced!

And we don't sell it, we just return it to the authorities. After all, it's something on someone else's territory, and it's none of my business who it will be handed over to later!

As for why I was suddenly able to get the right to sell?

One code is one code, this is the business that another subsidiary is talking about, don't think too much...
