The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Since the threat from Bharat has been greatly reduced, Pakistan's environment has improved greatly, and it has developed quite fast in recent years.

As the political center of Pakistan, Islamabad has developed very rapidly.

The population of Islamabad has reached 2.3 million!

With the great improvement of the security environment, Pakistan has more energy and resources to invest in the development of the national economy and deal with internal conflicts, which has made Pakistan's situation continue to improve in recent years.

Although the world has an economic crisis, Pakistan has not felt much chill.

After all, Pakistan is not an export-oriented country, and Pakistan's largest trading partner is China. In addition to China, Pakistan's closest economic exchanges are South Asian countries.

Pakistan's currency is also mainly bound to the RMB.

When Liu Tao goes to South Asia, in addition to Pakistan, he will also go to Khalistan, Nepal, and then enter Sikkim, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

In these countries, Liu Tao has absolute security guarantees.

After staying abroad for more than a month, Liu Tao ended this overseas trip and returned to China.

At this time, a major event broke out. Germany announced that it would ship back 1,900 tons of gold stored in the United States, but was rejected by the United States. The two sides started a war of words, which caused a world uproar.

There is a Chinese saying: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.

As a very rare metal, gold is also a symbol of wealth. From high officials to ordinary people, gold is highly valued. It is also recognized as a hard currency internationally. It was discovered and favored by humans more than 3,000 years ago.

The Federal Reserve Bank in New York, USA, is the largest gold storage place in the world, where gold from at least more than 60 countries and international organizations is stored.

Due to the influence of World War II, as the only country in the world that was not destroyed by war in World War II, the United States naturally became a well-deserved leader in economy and finance, and established a way of international indirect settlement with gold, linking gold to the US dollar-the Bretton Woods system.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is very skinny.

Over-issuance of currency again and again, no one knows how many dollars the United States has over-issued, which led to the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

Later, the Americans found a new anchor for the dollar - oil!

Thus, the petrodollar system was established.

However, because the United States is the world's largest economy and the leader of the international trade system, countries continue to store gold in the United States under the US trade system.

Germany, once the world's second largest gold reserve country, has 3,373 tons of gold reserves. In order to reduce risks, it also shipped 1,900 tons of gold to the United States for safekeeping.

However, this year, with the increase in global market risks and the uncertainties brought about by various US actions, many countries want to ship back gold.

But it is easy to ship gold to the United States, but it is not so easy to ship gold out of the United States.

As early as the establishment of the Franco-German alliance, Germany wanted to ship back the 1,900 tons of gold when it broke with the United States.

Later, in order to regain sovereignty and become an independent sovereign country, one of the conditions of the Americans was that Germany would not mention the return of gold within 5 years.

Now, 5 years have passed, and now we are in a world economic crisis. Everyone is worried that the world situation will repeat the Great Depression of 1929.

Germany is no exception.

Therefore, Germany proposed to transport the 1,900 tons of gold back.

However, after communicating with the Americans, the United States rejected Germany's proposal.

This undoubtedly angered Germany, and the two sides started a war of words, which suddenly caused an uproar in the world.

This had to make countries around the world suspect that the Americans had something to hide, and whether they had touched the gold reserves of various countries in the United States.

If it were true, this would be a huge scandal for the United States, a world economic power. Once exposed, it would severely damage the foundation of the US economy.

Countries are worried that once the United States touches their gold reserves, they will lose, what can they do.

So countries have also begun to take action to transport back the gold stored in the United States.

And the people in China saw the news and were worried.

The central bank had to come forward to dispel the rumors and explain to everyone that the 600 tons of gold originally stored in the United States by China had long been transported back to China, and China did not have any gold stored in the United States.

Liu Tao shook his head slightly. No one knew whether the Americans had touched the gold reserves of various countries.

Maybe, or maybe not!

But now all countries have to transport back their gold reserves in the United States, which is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing for the United States.

If the Americans did not move, then they would just ask the countries to ship it back.

But if the Americans were too greedy and moved the gold reserves of various countries and sold a lot of them, then the United States would be in trouble.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Tao advocated shipping gold back from the United States to ensure China's economic security.

After all, China's assets did not come out of thin air, but at the expense of a large amount of natural environment and resources, and were earned day and night by generations of people.

In recent years, China has been working hard to implement the internationalization of the RMB. In addition to using the RMB in bilateral trade, a very important strategy is to continuously increase gold reserves.

Although China's foreign exchange reserves in US dollars are not much, China's current gold reserves are second only to the United States.

And this is still a real gold reserve. As for the gold reserves of the United States, how much discount will be given, it is unknown.

Of course, now we just need to watch the show.

However, some things have to be prepared in advance.

After all, it is not impossible for World War III to break out in the current situation.

Liu Tao came to the Wenchang Launch Center, where the "Experiment-8" satellite will be launched today.

This satellite is much larger than a normal satellite.

This satellite, although called a satellite, is actually a laser defense weapon specifically used to intercept missiles.

It has the ability to intercept any missile that enters the atmosphere.

Of course, if it is within the laser range, it can even be destroyed when the missile is about to be launched in the ascending stage.

That is why this satellite is very heavy and large in size.

Before this, eight satellites of this type have been launched.

And this is all to build a national strategic defense system.

The entire national strategic defense system, in addition to land-based, air-based, and sea-based, also has space, thus forming a complete defense system that can intercept strategic missiles and aircraft as much as possible.

It is expected that by 2025, the entire national strategic defense system will be completed, thereby reducing external security factors to a minimum.

When the time comes, the huge heavy rocket will ignite, emit a terrible thrust, and then rise, and rise continuously.

This heavy rocket has achieved a 100% launch success rate so far, and it is already an advanced and mature rocket.

It even has the ability to carry out manned lunar landing.

It will also be the carrier rocket for China to carry out manned lunar landing in the future. (End of this chapter)
