Chapter 1394 The World Under the Shadow (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Compared to movies, there are other companies worth visiting in Kuching, from TCL to coastal oil fields to large chemical companies. Although Kuching is famous for movies, there are also many large companies here. In the next two days, Li Yian ran almost non-stop all over Kuching.

Nancy had been with him all along, but accidentally revealed her identity. After all, she was just a fresh graduate, so it was impossible for her not to be exposed.

Li Yian, who had already known her identity, just smiled and then re-invited her, Nancy, to accompany him on the scheduled inspection trip.

Of course, her accompaniment was limited to certain businesses that needed to be open. She was certainly not allowed to participate in visits to key defense departments such as the NAF Air Base, and was directly arranged to go shopping in the city center of Kuching.

Kuching, a city that is home to many celebrities, is also a paradise for luxury goods and branded clothing. No tourist who comes here will go home empty-handed.

Even if Nancy came from a good family, so what? She would still be lost in all this.

Therefore, when Li Yian needs it, she will always ask someone to go shopping with her and start shopping.

Obviously, after the initial novelty wore off, Nancy naturally enjoyed shopping more and enjoyed the pleasure of buying things.

……

As Li Yian began his journey around the island with the Baltimore girl, the world continued to move forward as usual.

That evening, a Panamanian cargo ship arrived at the Singapore Port, and a large number of steel pipes marked as "scrap iron" were loaded onto the ship. The loading work was completed in the evening, and it was not until the next morning that the loading of tens of thousands of tons of steel pipes was completed. Without further rest, the Panamanian cargo ship sailed out of the port. After entering the high seas, a Bulgarian flag was raised on the ship, and the ship's name was repainted. Then the fully loaded cargo ship sailed all the way to the north.

After the merchant ship full of "scrap iron" left the port, Vitrov, who was sitting in the trading company, had received news from the port. After learning that the ship had left the port, he said to himself as he put down the phone:
"Okay, we finally get to work..."

His job was simple, which was to engage in various "trades" to break the blockade of the outside world, not just integrated circuits, but also various embargoed materials, including large-diameter pipes.

"The next batch can be disguised as German merchant ships..."

Thinking this in his mind, Vitrov walked to the window and looked out. He saw hundreds of merchant ships vaguely visible on the sea surface. Those merchant ships were of different tonnages, and all kinds of merchant ships were passing through this sea area to and from the Eurasian continent.

Pick up the telescope and look at these ships on the sea. Although these ships are flying the flags of various countries, they are loaded with goods produced in Asia. They will be shipped to Europe and enter thousands of households through supermarkets and other channels.

Of course, there are also many ships that transport a steady stream of mineral raw materials from all over the world to meet production needs. Of course, there are also many ships that transport large amounts of food and other agricultural products from Africa to meet people's living needs.

"This is what makes them different. They can always get all kinds of goods from all over the world..."

"It's not about getting, it's about plundering!"

When Vitrov put down the telescope, a voice came from the sofa behind him, and the person sitting on the sofa continued:

"It's not about getting, it's about plundering. Everything they have is based on neo-colonial plunder. They are constantly expanding the 'Ocean Pound Zone' and using the Ocean Pound to plunder local resources in Africa and Asia."

The man sitting on the sofa said in a sarcastic tone:

"Many people say they created a miracle, but no one ever mentions that their plundering everywhere, their wealth, and their economic achievements were built on plunder."

After a brief pause, the man glanced at Vitrov at the window and continued:

"It's just that compared to the past method of plundering by direct force, this method of plundering is more subtle, but in essence, the nature of plunder has not changed at all!"

Walking to the sofa, Vitrov sat down and said:

"Well, that's right. That's exactly what they do all over the world. It seems that not many people use the Ocean Pound except in a few countries in Africa and the Middle East."

He didn't know much about the "Ocean Pound". He only knew that it was a common currency of Commonwealth countries, issued by the "Indian Ocean Bank" and mainly popular in British colonies and areas of British influence around the Indian Ocean.

"Yes, you are right. Even Canada, Australia and New Zealand do not use the 'Ocean Pound' because this currency itself is designed to better plunder African resources. Through this operation, Britain has formed a 'Franc System' outside the Bretton Woods system.

By "cooperating" with the colonies' currencies, they could not only offset the impact of the United States' monopoly on international finance on Britain, but also use currency and financial tools to effectively control and plunder British Africa, and influence the politics and diplomacy of these regions, killing two birds with one stone.

The man sitting opposite him continued:

"Initially, it was NBC that initiated the establishment of this bank. Half of the bank's managers came from NBC. Although the chairman is British, on the other hand, with the help of this bank and the dual currency system, they successfully extended their tentacles into Africa."

The man took a cigarette from the box on the coffee table, took a puff, and then said:

"Using the convenience of currency, they have successfully infiltrated the entire East Africa. Iraq, Jordan, Iran, and even Pakistan and India have agreed to use the British pound as a reserve currency. Do you know what this means?"

Vitrov smiled, shook his head and said:

"You know, I'm not an economic expert."

To some extent,

"It's not the economy, but finance. Our biggest problem is that we deny Western finance, but we don't know that finance is the most powerful weapon in the hands of Western countries!"

The man smoking exhaled a puff of smoke and said:

"In the past, they used guns to plunder the world. Now, they use finance to plunder the world. Although the world has changed, the essence of plundering the world has not changed.

However, the guns and cannons of the past have become the British pound today, just like the American dollar. The Americans use the printing press to print dollars and plunder all over the world, and the British cooperate with them and use the British pound to plunder Africa. The British pound is the weapon in their hands. Of course, there are also British pounds and South Yuan. "

Then he looked at Vitrov and said:
"If we want to defeat our enemies, how can we not understand the weapons they use?" "It seems that we don't know much."

Vitrov's answer made the man shrug helplessly, and then said:
"Since we don't understand this weapon, how can we possibly defeat them on this battlefield? However, over the past few years, they have been using finance as a weapon to expand around the world."

The man took a deep puff of his cigarette, and finally put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He looked into the distance and said:
"Let's not talk about the Americans and the British. Even there, they are very good at using finance as a weapon. They use finance and so-called aid and development programs to expand around the world. It seems to be economic expansion, but how can it be limited to the economy?"

Leaning against the sofa, the man paused for a moment, as if he was looking into the distance and thinking about something. After a while, he said:

"In the past ten years, they have not only established vast farms in East Africa, but also in South America - in Chile, Argentina, and many other countries. They have wielded financial weapons to wantonly acquire local mines. They are like a group of greedy vultures, not even sparing the insignificant salt mines..."

Then the man said in a positive tone:

"Yes, they are vultures... Now, they are a group of greedy vultures. Perhaps it is because their native resources are severely scarce that they greedily plunder everything."

After the man finished speaking, Vitrov said:
"So, what is your job?"

"Understand this vulture! Understand their movements..."

As he spoke, the man flicked his clothes with his hand, then picked up the Panama hat beside him, put it on his head, and said:
"My job here is to keep an eye on these vultures."

After that, the man stood up and left. Vitrov did not see him off. They were good friends in the special school and just met by chance on the street.

Although it was not appropriate to meet old friends in this place, they still sat together.

After drinking a few glasses of vodka and waiting for his old friend to leave, Vitrov glanced at the newspaper on the table. There was a piece of news in the newspaper - Your Excellency has finished his inspection in Kuching and will go to Yongning next, where Silicon Valley will be the focus of the inspection.

“Silicon Valley…”

Muttering this name, Vitrov pursed his lips and said to himself:
"It's time to go over there!"

……

"The time has come..."

Standing in front of the representative office, the man wearing a Panama hat glanced at the police outside the door and then walked in.

This is not a hot spot, so the European man did not need to go through any inspection. He entered the representative office. After entering, he took out a visa application form like the others, and after filling it out briefly, he lined up like the others. He waited for about half an hour before it was his turn.

"Hello sir."

When the staff member took the application form from the man, he was stunned. There was not a name written on the form, but a sentence.

"I want to see Station Master Lucas."

There was no doubt that Lucas was the chief of the Investigation Department's intelligence station in Star City. Soon, they met, and as soon as they met, Lucas didn't even have time to speak.

The man sitting across the table gave him a big surprise when he took off his straw hat.

"Hello, Lucas, we have met before."

Lucas nodded, Major Andrei, the military attaché of the Soviet Embassy, ​​or... the chief of the KGB Star City Intelligence Station.

"Indeed, Major Andre, I am curious as to why you are here."

"You know very well why I am here. I came here to risk my life."

Major Andre looked at Lucas and said:

"I will surrender to you, and I will provide you with the information you are interested in within my ability. Of course, in order to ensure my safety, I don't want other people to know about my existence. After all, among you, there are people from Lukayambi Square!"

"Oh!"

Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly, and before he could ask, Major Andre spoke again.

"This information is my gift..."

Then he stood up and said:
"I think we'll see each other again soon."

After that, he put on his straw hat and asked:
"Now, can I leave?"

Looking at the contents of the note and the major in front of him, Lucas smiled and said:
"Of course! Well, I think you should get out from somewhere else."

"No, just go through the main entrance. It's the safest there. You know we don't care about this place at all!"

When he was about to leave, Major Andre seemed to have thought of something and said deliberately:

“Silicon Valley, we care more about that!”
