Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 137

In September 1985, Nord's first online game, Medieval, was released. This game is a strategy war game, and many game lovers participated on the day of its release.

Compared with other things, the United States may be more attractive as a debtor country for the first time since 1914. Of course, what followed immediately attracted Joseph's attention-the signing of the Plaza Accord.

The Plaza Accord is closely related to the United States becoming a debtor country.Since the early 80s, the fiscal deficit of the United States has increased sharply, and the foreign trade deficit has increased significantly.For this reason, the United States can only hope to increase the export competitiveness of its products through the depreciation of the dollar, so as to improve the imbalance of international payments.

Under the call of some caring people, Japan is boiling up. They think that their own spring has come, because in a sense, this will cause the value of the yen to rise by almost 5.00%.Simply put, before the agreement, they might be able to buy American goods for 100 yen for 100 yen, but now they can buy American goods for 105 yen.

Of course, this may not be noticeable, but if the amount increases to [-] billion or [-] billion, the increase is quite a terrifying amount. Some tens of billions (yen) rich people are equivalent to directly increasing their assets by several hundred million yen.

The risks hidden behind Japan are not known for the time being, until the domestic economy is overheated and the bubble expands sharply, so some discerning people find out that something is wrong, but it is too late...

Leaving aside Japan, Joseph was also a little bit impatient when he got the news, but he understood that such a game is not something he can participate in. It doesn't matter if he offends the United States, but it will not be worth the loss if he attracts crazy revenge from those financial predators.

Britain, the United States and France are also smart people. After all, Nord is a country with an atomic bomb and a high-speed economy. It is inappropriate to leave it aside. Some small temptations and appeasement are necessary.

After all, Nord is no longer the small country that was only the size of a city before, and the Western Sahara region has not yet developed, otherwise the Principality of Nord is also eligible to participate in this financial division.

The compensation trade terms offered by Britain, France, the United States and Germany are worth tens of billions of euros. Of course, the money that was separated from Japan a few years later is almost a drop in the bucket.

Joseph has been estimating the time all along. He can't keep up with Japan's division this time, but if the Western Sahara can develop to a certain extent, then he can still have a hand in the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Nord has many sea areas, whether it is Nord mainland or Western Sahara.The only pity is that they never had an aircraft carrier. Maybe they will cause the United States to be alert, but without an aircraft carrier, there is no right to speak at sea. Joseph agrees with this sentence very much.

The end of 1985 was a very important day for the Ragnar family, because the first royal tax was about to be officially launched, and a [-]% royal tax was not unacceptable, after all, everything today was brought by Joseph , the Ragnar family should collect this tax as a matter of course.

In November 1985, the GDP of the Principality of Nord has reached 580 billion euros, most of which is due to the Western Sahara region. The supply of the Principality of Nord is far greater than the demand. It is a pity that the international market is so big, even if the Principality of Nord wants to It is impossible to increase trade, and the economic construction of the Western Sahara region has greatly stimulated domestic production.

Since the Principality of Nord acquired the Western Sahara region and devoted itself to capital construction, the industrial stocks of the Principality of Nord rose by 15.00% point three.At the same time, several new steel mills and petroleum refineries were built in Western Sahara.

In the future, the heavy industry of the Principality of Nord will gradually be transferred to the Western Sahara region, including rocket research bases, satellite launch bases, aircraft factories, and intercontinental missile research centers and other military-related departments.

Because of the newly added royal taxation, in 1985 the European Forbes rich list Joseph directly passed the third and second place with a net worth of 46 billion euros and won the first place, and won the top ten positions in the Forbes world rich list.

At the moment when the international financial system is preparing for war, a large number of second-hand electrical appliances have come to the Western Sahara region, and they will be sold to local residents at a price of a few euro cents each, and part of the electricity fee will also be subsidized.

Cattle, sheep, and oases all make the residents of the poor areas of Western Sahara develop in a happy direction. If the residents of Western Sahara who are most loyal to Joseph at this time must not be Hispanics or Moroccans, but those living in remote places Native aborigines.

Wake up in the morning and lead the horses to herd the sheep, listen to the radio for a nap after lunch, find some odd jobs in the town in the afternoon to earn some extra money, and watch TV programs with their wives and children in the evening. This was something they could not have imagined a year ago Life.

At the end of 1985, there were a total of 32 identity documents issued by the Principality of Nord until then, and these were the only people who could freely travel between Nord and Western Sahara.

The Principality of Nord is an early country that used computers to work. By this time, hotels, sensitive items, and computer rooms have all used ID cards to access the Internet. If there is no ID, the only way to be taken away by the police is.

The Western Sahara region has ended hundreds of years of scattered law and order issues. Although it is not as good as the Nord Principality, it is not far behind. A large number of adapted children have also started to go to school and take crash courses.

1986 was a relatively important year, because in this year Joseph was going to spend tens of billions of euros to invest in the construction of the Western Sahara region.Perhaps this will bring some debts to the Principality of Nord, but thinking about the changes in the economy, everything is worth it.

The railway needs to be built, the local area network needs to be covered, the signal tower needs to be built, and the small town needs to be constructed and lived in. If possible, it is best that some large-scale heavy industries can also complete the transfer to the Western Sahara region.

These are all things that need to be prepared in 1986. Once the basic economic system of the Western Sahara region is completed, it will not be difficult for the Principality of Nord to double its GDP in the coming year.Of course, such a rapid improvement will only appear at the beginning.

It is not easy to make 100 from 1000 yuan, but it is easier to make 100 million from 1000 million. At the same time, it is also possible to make [-] billion from [-] million, but it takes time, and the same is true for a country's economy.The early and mid-term will always be the most difficult, but one is difficult to rise and the other needs to be accumulated slowly.

With such anticipation that Christmas in 1985 is coming, the Nord Principality and the Western Sahara region have prepared a lot of things for this holiday celebration. After all... this is the first Christmas in the Nord Principality in the Western Sahara region Festival.
