The rise of a great power: starting with military industry
Chapter 1298: The Dark Clouds of War
Barak, who had just changed his name, did not have any good luck because of the name change.
The US subprime mortgage crisis soon affected Barak.
Since Barak has been getting closer and closer to the United States, even leasing two naval ports to the US Navy to serve as military bases of the US Navy, Barak has also gained some benefits.
In addition to being able to import various advanced weapons from the United States, Barak also enjoys the benefits of low tax rates in trade.
The United States is trying to build Barak into a world factory to replace China. After all, Barak has a large and young population, and its location is also very good. It faces the sea on both the east and west sides, and there are many excellent deep-water ports.
Most importantly, Barak now has very close ties with the United States, which has two large military bases in Barak, giving the United States a great deal of influence in the Indian Ocean and the ability to exert influence on the Indian Ocean.
Unlike in China, although the United States receives special treatment and is the only country in the world that is allowed to station troops in embassies abroad, the Marine Corps can only be stationed in the US Embassy, and there are only 26 people. Each of them has to change their names, wear casual clothes and disarm.
Even so, the Guard still faces various strict restrictions.
Whenever the United States tries to test the waters, such as suddenly changing into military uniforms to confuse the public, it will be expelled from China without hesitation and asked to apologize.
Up to now, no one in this guard team is allowed to leave the embassy.
The United States has tens of thousands of troops stationed in Barak, which is also an important logistical supply base for the United States in the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq.
It is the large number of orders from the United States every year that drives Barak's rapid development.
Even after the Second South Asian War, Barak has now recovered.
But just as he recovered, Barak ran into trouble.
That means the exports to Europe and the United States have been blocked!
The spread of the US subprime mortgage crisis has severely affected North America and Europe.
North America and Europe are Barak's most important export destinations.
When demand decreases, people will naturally buy good quality and cheap products!
Barak's original export was largely dependent on politics.
In addition, in recent years, Barak has cheated European and American companies and ordinary people. A large number of European and American people have been deceived by Barak people over the phone. European and American companies invest in Barak and spend money in Barak, and they can't take a penny away from Barak. Moreover, for Barak orders, the goods are often shipped but the money is not received. It can be said that they have been cheated badly.
At this time, Barak's exports suddenly encountered a cold winter, countless Barak export companies went bankrupt, and a large number of people were unemployed.
The US subprime mortgage crisis affected Barak, but the US subprime mortgage crisis had not yet truly evolved into an economic crisis. Instead, it was Barak who first triggered the economic crisis.
Barak's stock market continued to fall, a large number of companies went bankrupt, and a large number of people lost their jobs. The bitter cold winter caused the contradictions that Barak had barely suppressed to emerge again.
Over the years, Barak's conflicts have never been resolved.
There are a lot of slums in the city! A huge gap between the rich and the poor, and a huge racial difference!
The caste system is deeply rooted in Barak, but with the exchange of cultures, some people without confidence want to break this bottleneck.
There was one sentence in particular that was passed on to Barak, which made many people in Barak agree with it: Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all born with different species?
Why are people of higher castes born rich and superior, while people of lower castes have no human rights and are treated like cattle and horses?
In addition, there are thousands of languages, hundreds of ethnic groups, and conflicts such as the Sikhs, all of which want to seek national liberation and establish an independent country.
In East India and South India, leaflets were often distributed to Barak, encouraging these nations to liberate themselves and establish independent countries.
In addition, Barak is surrounded by enemies on all sides and has a very long border, which requires Barak to maintain a large armed force all year round in order to fight against the enemies on all sides. He has no spare energy to develop the economy and people's livelihood.
The biggest foreign exchange income for the Baraks now is the US dollars and euros earned by working in Europe and the United States. Another thing is that the Baraks cheat the Europeans and Americans out of their money, which has developed into a big industry.
Although this industry that defrauded Europeans and Americans has been repeatedly protested by European and American countries, and European and American countries have put pressure on Barak, Barak has withstood the pressure.
Because this is one of Barak’s important sources of income!
All of these require payment of considerable taxes.
The massive business closures, the huge unemployment rate and the widening trade deficit have made Barak more and more like a powder keg about to explode.
The new situation of Barak was detected by the reconnaissance satellite at the first time.
After all, large-scale military movements cannot be hidden from the detection of reconnaissance satellites.
Through multiple reconnaissance missions by the Haidongqing unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, Barak's military movements have been confirmed.
To this end, the military submitted a relevant report, which was to demonstrate the possibility of Barak taking the initiative to launch a new round of South Asian war to divert domestic conflicts.
Wars are often fought to divert domestic conflicts.

At this time, it is not impossible for Barak to start a war to divert his domestic conflicts!
To this end, a special meeting was held to discuss the possibility of Barak launching a war and what to do about it.
Liu Tao also frowned.
He also didn't dare to say whether Barak would start a war.
After all, no one knows what's wrong with the Barak people's brains. Even a wise man could not figure out why Barak started the war after thinking about it for ten days and ten nights.
It is very likely that Barak will really start a war.
War is fought with logistics!
A lot of supplies need to be prepared in advance.
At the same time, relevant intelligence will be provided to all parties to serve as a warning.
Fortunately, due to the special relationship between the two countries, there are very few Chinese and overseas Chinese in Barak.
But even so, some measures have to be taken to minimize the losses.
At this time, Europe and the United States were both in dire straits due to the US subprime mortgage crisis and economic problems.
It was not until this time that European and American countries realized that banks and others were so deeply involved in US subprime bonds.
Especially the UK!
In response to the US subprime mortgage crisis, Europe and the United States held a two-day finance ministers' meeting to mainly discuss the US economic slowdown and the depreciation of the US dollar.
Yes, in order to solve the subprime mortgage crisis, or to shift the crisis, the United States openly devalued the dollar despite warnings from various countries.
You must know that all countries will have to pay for this kind of behavior, and this practice is extremely irresponsible.
During this period, many countries were furious and accused the United States of being irresponsible and exploiting other countries!
After all, the US dollar is still the currency for international trade settlement, accounting for more than 35% of international trade settlement. Many countries hold US dollars and US bonds as foreign exchange reserves.
The depreciation of the US dollar will cause losses to countries and individuals that hold US dollars and US bonds as foreign exchange reserves! (End of this chapter)
