Chapter VII War Reparations
PS: First of all, thank you for your support, and then explain the opinions of the book review. First of all, it is the issue of entertainment and movie stars. In fact, fundamentally, this is a modern novel. Except for World War II, other places are no different from the 1980s. The ewdeed brothers may be disappointed, but this is the outline that is not easy to change. Please forgive me. Then there is a background issue. In fact, you can understand it as the Western Hong Kong and Monaco, which may be similar in geographical sense! Another brother said yesterday that Caradia, yes, it is Caradia, mainly because the country's name is too lazy to afford, so please learn from it.
In early June 1980, the weather began to get hotter, but for James, who was far away in the United States, the hot weather did not affect his mood.
The European revival plan has been passed in the US Parliament, with sixteen countries among them, the most attractive of which is the Principality of Nord, a small country with a population of less than 2,000 and a land of only a few dozen square kilometers.
When the US President put the Principal of Nord in the proposal, the members of the parliament were in an uproar, but when a piece of information was placed before them, the members no longer spoke and planned their own little thoughts.
In the first meeting, the Duchy of Nord received aid funds of 80 million US dollars, but in the next period of time, 80 million US dollars gradually increased to 250 million. It was at this time that James received news of the president's appointment.
In fact, James did not have much conversation with the US president. Both sides expressed their feelings for Nomi, and then some trivial matters in life. It was not until the end that he told him the news that Nord also helped the US aid.
James obviously didn't react to this sudden pie. After all, he never felt that the US parliament would pass Nord to become a member of the aid, but the result was just the opposite. The final result was that 80% of the members of the parliament chose to support it.
While James was full of doubts, the US president was also having a conversation with his assistant, and the content of this conversation was why Parliament received 250 million aid through Nord.
"Is it certain?"
"Director Smith is still investigating, and the satellite shooting is very vague, but it can be confirmed that the Principality of Nord has a high-level intelligent machinery to build a new urban area in a month. This is indeed a bit faster..."
"Just be sure, otherwise how can we explain to American citizens for these 250 million dollars?"
The last sentence was very serious, but the expression of the assistant beside him showed everything. Of course, 250 million US dollars is indeed not a small amount, and it is also appropriate to have an explanation.
When the US president was talking to his assistant, the European revival plan passed by the House of Representatives had been learned by the outside media that the five-star hotel where James lived instantly became the main gathering place for the media. There was no way, who had not heard of the country of the Principality of Nord before?
"May I ask Foreign Minister James, why is the Duchy of Nord at the forefront of European revival aid? As we know, the Kingdom of Spain has not obtained this time..."
"Foreign Minister James, there is news that Nord's new Grand Duke is a child under ten years old. Is this news true?"
"Foreign Minister James, most of the cabinet members in your cabinet government are French officials. Does this mean that the Principal of Nord will become a member of France in the future?"
"Foreign Minister James..."
When James first arrived in the United States, he longed for the current situation, but when the media came in large groups, he was a little tired of it. The main reason was that there were many problems that he himself did not know, such as why the Principality of Nord was in the European Revival Plan, and it also occupied a considerable proportion of weight.
There were some selective answers and claimed that although the Principality of Nord was a binary monarchy, these officials were not called foreign ministers but ministers, and the departments were not ministers but ministers.
Minister James fled the United States in a panic, and Joseph was carrying out his next plan. James' son, the young man in his twenties who had just graduated from the Paris Polytechnic University, had already gone to France. His purpose was to contact the Chinese Embassy in France there and meet the ambassador.
News from the United States has been transmitted to the Atlantic Ocean by phone. When Nord's citizens received the news, they ran excitedly on the streets, shouting the name of Ragner III.
The New York Times, London Daily, Paris Times, and Washington Daily other well-known media outlets rushed to Nord. Their purpose was two. The first was to see what kind of country Nord was and why it ranks among the top in aid. The second was to see Joseph, who was only eight years old.
Joseph also received news about these things, so a five-star hotel was built in the coastal areas of the North City, and the funds spent naturally came from the treasury that was only a small amount of the remaining treasury in the Principal of Nord.
Cres had already set his sights on these buildings that suddenly appeared, so when Joseph used the treasury funds and arranged for people to clean up and level the land, his eyeliner was already guarding there all day and night. Unfortunately, the final result made Cres very dissatisfied. The layers of steel plates during the construction blocked the eyeliner's eyes. He wanted to get close but was blocked by the Imperial Guards. Even if Cres went there in person, he did not let it go.
At this time, the Nord Guard had more than 80 people. In terms of loyalty, these newly joined members were not worse than those old members. The only thing they lacked was high-intensity training.
A small military camp was built not far from the Nord Palace. The brainwashing day and night made these already loyal Nord young men devoted themselves to Joseph, believing that even if Joseph asked them to die, there would be no hesitation at all.
The precise bonus of firearms, physical strengthening, and military literacy indoctrination. When these effects are concentrated on these guards, even if they are using firearms from Germany when they were defeated, their real strength is no longer worse than that of the American seals and the coastal defense elite. It is because of these people that Joseph became more and more casual in the Principality of Nord.
The power of the gun is out, and as long as the guards are in control of Joseph in one day, Cres will not overthrow Joseph's rule no matter how much power he has.
The continued appointment of Cres is due to his relationship with France. France is a big country. I believe that through the recognition of the United States, the matter against Nord will end. Cres will leave sooner or later. What Joseph has to do now is to borrow Cres' identity and try his best to get benefits from France.
The United States was able to discover the changes in the Principal of Nord, and France, as a neighboring country, naturally had no reason to ignore it, especially Cres, so a large number of French intelligence elites came to Nord. In order to cover up, trucks of supplies were also sent to Nord by the French government on the grounds that the Principal of Nord should have obtained the trophy of the victorious country.
Of course, this is not a reason, but a fact. As one of the victorious countries, although the Duchy of Nord only had 3,000 soldiers involved in the battle during World War II and fell within one day, this cannot deny the position of the Duchy of Nord.
Germany was defeated three years ago. According to the rules at that time, the Principality of Nord should have received compensation of more than 200 million marks, but these compensations have been held by the French government. Even now, only one-tenth of the sent are sent.
Royal Palace of the Duke of Nord:
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
"Two things, the first thing is the thing that comes from media in various countries. This matter must be taken seriously, try to let them see our poverty and strive to get more assistance for us. The second thing is to arrange people to go to France, with the issue of our compensation."
When the person came, Nord's deputy foreign minister was in fact. In fact, there were only five people in the entire foreign minister. James went to the United States to take away an assistant. Now the only ones left were this deputy minister and two assistants. Therefore, he expressed his embarrassment at Joseph's order to the deputy minister.
"Reparation, the French government has not already..."
"I mean the rest of the world. The German economy is now in a slump. Germany is also in the aid of the United States. All I need you to do is to use the remaining compensation to obtain shares in the German Automobile Alliance."
"Germany Automobile Alliance?"
Joseph's words made the Deputy Minister a little puzzled. It was not that he had doubts about what the relationship between France's control of their compensation and Germany, but why Joseph wanted an automobile alliance if he didn't terminate it.
Joseph did not explain, but waved his hand to let him go. The matter had been ordered. What should be done next is the matter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all he had to look at was the final result.
