Chapter 687 The United States wants economic sanctions

The Third Economic Organization Four-nation Alliance is not very good, and it is in a period of domestic and foreign difficulties. With the swing of Syria's attitude and the sharp increase of external pressure, the number of secret contacts between Iran, Somalia and North Korea has also increased frequently.

However, at this time, a financial storm that swept Europe and the United States finally reached **. The financial turmoil caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States swept the United States and other developed countries pursuing neoliberal economy in Europe and the United States in August.

The main contents of the so-called neoliberal economy include: reducing political interference in the financial and labor markets of the market, cracking down on trade unions, promoting consumption, and promoting high economic growth with high consumption.

In order to promote economic growth, capitalists encourage Yin to eat grain and consume crazily. That is to say, use tomorrow's money to spend today. The establishment of subprime mortgage institutions is to provide unsecured mortgages to those people with vague credit qualifications and even credit stains. These subprime institutions, which are organized by Wall Street investors and investment funds, are frantically making profits in the midst of the high growth of real estate in the United States. However, when the U.S. real estate bubble was broken, real estate prices plummeted, which triggered a series of market reactions, led to the bankruptcy of a large number of mortgage institutions, and gradually evolved into a financial storm sweeping the world.

Throughout August, the storm caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States led to the bankruptcy of a large number of funds in Germany, France, the United States and other countries that participated in the investment of subprime institutions in the United States, resulting in huge losses of many behind-the-the-scenes bank capitalists. The subprime crisis caused not only the institutional losses of countries participating in the speculation of real estate subprime loans in the United States. Lost, many countries that have bought huge amounts of U.S. subprime mortgage-backed bonds have suffered huge losses. For a while, the global financial street has been panicked, and political axes from all countries have used political axes to intervene in this subprime mortgage storm.

As the center of the storm, the American political axe once again used a magic weapon to reduce losses and passed it on to other countries. In the storm of subprime mortgages, the U.S. political axe made those countries with strong economic strength come forward to 'save the global financial system' through political diplomacy. The United States is the world's financial center, and the U.S. dollar is the world currency. The collapse of U.S. finance will trigger a series of disasters, and it is through the sharp weapon of the U.S. dollar that the U.S. government successfully transfers losses to other countries every time to reduce its losses.

Li Mo read the news summarized by the intelligence department in his office. During this period, there was an earthquake in the international financial community, but all this had little impact on Somalia. It has no impact on Iran and North Korea in the Third OECD. Both countries are sanctioned by the United States, and there is no economic and trade entanglement with the United States itself. However, as a world currency, the large-scale depreciation of the US dollar still has an impact on international trade, especially Somalia. The US dollar and the Somali shilling are both hard pass. Both goods can be used directly in the market, because Somalia's financial system is not perfect, and the long-term civil war has led to a sharp devaluation of the Somali shilling, which was once reduced to more than 1:6000. The low gold content of the national currency is good for exports, but Somalia is not a major exporter. Now at a time of high development, the trade deficit is very large, and the depreciation of the US dollar still has some impact on Somalia.

Just as Li Mo frowned and thought about how to improve Somalia's financial system, Fan Qingqing hurried in and opened his mouth was bad news.

"Boss, Michael sent the news that the U.S. Congress is planning to pass a resolution on economic sanctions against Somalia."

Li Mo's face changed when he heard the words, and he stood up reflexively, but then sat down with an ugly face. Although the relationship between Somalia and the United States is complex, there are still some trade exchanges between the two countries. However, with the large-scale entry of British and Chinese investors into the Somali market, the main targets of Somalia's foreign trade have also turned to the Third OECD and several countries of the United Kingdom and China. Li Mo also tried not to produce from the United States. There is too much trade, but for some political purposes, some of the annual aid to Africa is still distributed to Somalia. Li Mo is not afraid of the so-called trade sanctions. With the better economic and trade environment of the "small circle" of the Third OECD, Li Mo is no longer afraid of unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on Somalia, but Li Mo is still greedy for the tens of millions of funds assisted by the United States every year. Anyway, the money for nothing is always comfortable.

And Li Mo knows from the bottom of his heart that as long as Somalia does not compromise with the United States, the United States will treat Somalia the same sooner or later, that is, to suspend economic aid and trade blockades.

"Does the political axe know about this matter?" Li Mo thought for a time and asked. But after the question, Li Mo laughed at himself. He was able to get the news so quickly thanks to Michael's relationship in the United States. In order to pursue Li Qian, Michael is now basically staying in the United States to provide necessary help for Li Mo, such as smuggling some equipment products for Li Mo through smuggling channels, and this time for Li Mo. Don't provide inside information. On the contrary, it is impossible to get this information soon. Of course, as long as a day or two passes, Somalia will also get what happened in Congress from various sources.

"Call Wang Ning, let him pay close attention to the movement of the European Union, and remind the political axe of this news to prepare them. It doesn't matter if the United States unilaterally imposes sanctions on Somalia, but the European Union can't participate, at least not for now. Li Mo soon had a decision in his mind and ordered.

Somalia needs a lot of industrial equipment, which is purchased in Europe. Among them, Britain and Italy are the main trading targets. Now, between China and China, because of the secret agreement, some equipment procurement has been transferred to China, but at present, this trade channel has not been fully developed, and Somalia is still in urgent need. The source of goods in Europe.

"Qingqing, send a message to the mouse again, so that he can make use of the previous network in a short time. If we really can't stop it, we can only use smuggling channels." Li Mo pondered for a while and then said.

Fan Qingqing recorded Li Mo's two orders, and soon twisted his waist and went out to convey the order.

"Damn it, Americans are really good at finding the time!" Li Mo is speeding up the procurement of advanced equipment during this period. Through previous cooperation, several well-known European machinery companies have agreed to export some "not very advanced" equipment to Somalia. In just two months, when the equipment is shipped back, Li Mo will not care so much.

Li Mo has the world's advanced ultra-tight machine tools, which can process the equipment needed for production, but Li Mo lacks key technology. Therefore, Li Mo intends to use the power to obtain the manufacturing technology of equipment through procurement, which is equivalent to 'copying' a lot of equipment, and soon the industrial system and military system of Somalia will be established, and no one will be afraid at that time.

With the equipment, it is easy to train technical workers. At worst, it takes time to slowly let the workers work on the equipment. They would rather scrap a batch of equipment than cultivate qualified skilled workers. Moreover, in recent years, Li Mo has also trained a group of high-quality skilled workers. These workers have passed paramilitary training. Discipline surnames and obedience surnames are very different from those 'traditional workers'.

......

"Li Mo, the U.S. Congress has passed a bill to impose sanctions on Somalia. There is no doubt that the real name of this news is that our people got it from the U.S. Congress." In a relatively secluded house, Lei Zhen said with a stern face.

He thought that Li Mo had not received the news yet. After receiving the domestic order, he immediately invited Li Mo to remind Li Mo to prepare in advance.

Li Mo was a little moved. Anyway, at this time, Huaxia Zheng Axe still regarded Li Mo as an ally.

"Lao Lei, thank you for reminding me, but I already know about this and have made relevant preparations." Li Mo said with a smile.

Lei Zhen was stunned, laughed and said, "You boy, I knew I couldn't underestimate you. You will know so soon. It seems that you have really made a lot of preparations!" The 'preparation' in Lei Zhen's mouth is the dark line arranged by Li Mo in the United States. Now that the bill is only a few hours after the passage, Li Mo got the news that the most likely dark line is a member of Congress.

Li Mo smiled and did not explain much, but asked Huaxia whether the number of silicon uranium alloys for the first batch of purchased silicon uranium alloys was sufficient.

Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang are certainly not clear about the use. Even if they are clear, they will not tell Li Mo. This is all related to state secrets. As for the demand for silicon-uranium alloys, five tons is definitely not enough, but because the price of silicon-uranium alloys is too expensive, before fully confirming the use effect of this new material, Huaxia Zheng Axe still did not There are plans for large-scale imports.

"Yes, Li Mo, do you know about the launch of a satellite in Iran?" Lei Zhen suddenly asked.

"I know, but I got the news that it was also after the successful launch of the satellite." Li Mo didn't understand the meaning of Lei Zhen for a moment, and there were some reservations in his words.

"Iran's political axe is too big this time. The development of nuclear weapons has made Western countries afraid, but now artificial satellites and multi-stage rocket technology have been developed. Everyone is worried about Iran's current nuclear power. Lei Zhen heard the vigilance in Li Mo's tone and said casually with a smile.

"Iran, like North Korea, is a de facto nuclear state. Although there are many suspicions about this, I think China's intelligence agencies should be able to get relevant information." Li Mo plans to take this opportunity to give some 'hints' to Huaxia.

"Of course, Somalia can also be regarded as a de facto nuclear power." Li Mo turned around and asked indifferently, "But do you know where our nuclear weapons come from?"

This question made Lei Zhen and Ding Huiqiang stare their eyes wide and prick their ears at the same time. Although the outside world is still skeptical about the speed of Iran's nuclear program, it has finally given an affirmation. After all, Iran has been secretly developing nuclear weapons for decades, but where did the legendary 'strategic missile battalion' in Somalia come from? This is still a mystery to the outside world. It is impossible for a country like Somalia to develop nuclear weapons by itself, but where do Somalia's nuclear weapons come from? Who are the supporters behind it? Many countries are looking for news in this regard, because the countries behind Somalia can 'finance' Somalia or 'finance' other countries. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is tantamount to a piece of paper.
