Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 204 Charlie Joseph Ragnar

At the end of June 1989, news came from Western Sahara that Kate was about to give birth. She hoped that Joseph would be present. Without the slightest hesitation, Joseph took a private jet to Western Sahara that night.

Four months have passed. During this period of time, as the date of delivery gradually draws closer, even Joseph couldn't help becoming nervous. If it wasn't for Nord's too many official duties, he would have dropped everything and ran to Western Sahara to wait.

Gao Jingxuan played the most important role during this period. If it weren't for her comfort, Joseph would never have been able to settle down and handle his official duties. It's just that such behavior made him feel somewhat guilty towards Kate.

Four months is not a short period of time, enough for many things to undergo earth-shaking changes, and this period of time is indeed the case.

The first is the issue of the French president exempting the debts of 35 countries. This is an economic matter that has far-reaching impacts on Europe, and no one can ignore it.

Compared with this event, the 45th annual meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific was held in Bangkok, the first fiber-optic communication cable across the Pacific Ocean was officially opened for use between the United States and Japan, and the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer was held in Bangkok. Helsinki and the like are not worth mentioning.

However, there are a few of them that need to be mentioned. The first is that Iran announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom. Joseph has been planning how to get some benefits from this matter.The second is the normalization of Sino-Soviet relations. To be honest, this matter is no longer important to Nord, because the Soviet Union...is already a mortal camel.

The advantage of normalization is that it is much more convenient for many bad guys to come to the Soviet Union, and part of the profits that belonged to Joseph were taken away by Huaxia.Of course, it is estimated that Joseph will not see that little profit.

Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several Nord intelligence personnel have been released, but the relationship between Nord and the Soviet Union has also been reduced to a very bad level, and a large number of Nord businessmen have been expelled.

Regarding some contacts, Joseph is going to hand over to Huaxia.The reason is very simple. In the future, only China and the European Union can hold back the United States, and Nord is a member of the European Union. He understands that the EU's position is not firm, so in the end, only China can rely on China to strengthen some of China's military power. It is in Nord's interest.

And for these contacts, it is impossible for Huaxia to take them away without paying anything. First of all, some financial contributions are necessary, and secondly, some political concessions are also essential.The Huaxia side naturally agreed to these things, and they even promised some things that Nord could not take away, and they could help them out.

How could Joseph not do such a good thing unless he was a fool.

Huaxia has no money, at least not now, so what Huaxia pays for these contacts is the old stuff—shares in some state-owned enterprises, among which Huaxia Telecom Mobile Communications General Post and Telecommunications Bureau is the highlight.

For this enterprise, Nord even voluntarily gave up some other shares, and finally retained only shares in oil, steel, banks, automobiles, and the telecommunications industry.

In fact, when Huaxia Telecom Mobile Communications General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications was established, Nord held the shares, and it still held 30.00% of the shares. Back to 13.00% only.

However, according to what may happen in the future, Joseph specifically asked the diplomats to add a condition, that is, when the Huaxia Telecom industry is reorganized and split in the future, the Principality of Nord has the priority to purchase shares.

China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom are the three giants in China in the future, and they are one of the companies with the highest profits. If such a golden tiger is still let go, I will be sorry for his status as a time traveler.

Of course, in the future, these shares will not belong to Joseph, but to Gao Jingxuan. As for whether it is appropriate to do so, it is not within Joseph's consideration.

There are probably only so many things going on overseas, and the domestic changes are also very big. First of all, half of the fleet arrived safely. This incident completely relieved Joseph, who had been nervous all the time.

There are 300 large and small ships, complete coastal defense and air defense equipment, and even a lot of fighter jets stay on the aircraft carrier. You can understand the number... That naval commander is no longer as simple as selling strategic materials, but a real True treason.

Excluding thousands of scientists and researchers on the fleet, the rest are the instructors of the fleet and their relatives. There are more than [-] people in these alone, yes, more than [-] people.

The 300 large and small ships are almost full of people. Except for the necessary shells, all the rest have become places that can accommodate people. As for the transferred heavy industrial equipment, only a small part of these things are on the fleet, and the rest will be Transport back to Western Sahara using other means of transportation.

Fortunately, the Soviet Navy has a certain deterrent power, otherwise it would not be easy to come back safely.

Most of these treasonous instructors have the rank of second lieutenant and lieutenant colonel. Some of them will go to the Nord Royal Naval Academy to serve as instructors, and the rest will be selected or serve as seafarer training officers or active duty officers.

This is the foundation of the future Nord navy. What Nord lacks most now is people. Every soldier can apply for Nord citizenship, so that the recruiting office is almost full of people.

The first batch of navies that need to be trained is [-], which can roughly meet the needs of the fleet.The large-scale shipyard project in Western Sahara has started. Soviet engineers and drawings are here. With their help, the first Western Sahara warship will be able to enter service in three years.

Nord's local shipyard, but because of the coastline problem, it has now been withdrawn. In the future, the main sea, land and air manufacturing bases will be located in Western Sahara. Nord is a purely commercial city.

On July 1989, 7, Queen Nord gave birth to a son. Nord celebrated with the whole world, and a large number of prisoners were released. There were fierce international comments on this matter.

The content of the comment is naturally not about unwed birth, but Joseph's release of prisoners. How is this different from the feudal period?The Nord royal family did not respond in the slightest.

The citizens of Nord were not very satisfied with this matter. Of course, they did not complain about Joseph, they were just worried that this would lead to a decline in the city's law and order.

"Charlie, Charlie Joseph Ragnar, Abner, let someone announce the Crown Prince's news."

The crown prince... Abner, who came in a hurry, never thought that Joseph would be so straightforward. Charlie was designated as the crown prince and heir to the Grand Duke right after he was born. This...

Kate also felt that something was wrong. She hadn't even married Joseph yet. Isn't it a little too hasty to be so reckless to appoint the crown prince?

"Abner, go announce the news."

Joseph repeated it again, and Abner naturally didn't dare to refuse, and even turned and left without saying a word.

"Joseph..."

"You do not understand."

Kate naturally didn't understand the meaning of Joseph's actions, because Gao Jingxuan was also pregnant. Although she was a girl, Joseph didn't want Kate to feel at ease.Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The second is that the hearts of Nord citizens can be settled down, and Joseph's safety is also guaranteed to a certain extent.

The former is easy to say, but the second is a bit confusing?
There is no need to doubt, after all, Joseph and Kate are not married, which means that her name is wrong and her words are not right. If Charlie does not have the status of the heir to the grand duke or the crown prince, then if something happens in the future, it is very likely that Charlie will not be recognized, but he himself Set it up now... then everything will be different.

Some guys who want to die by themselves should also pay attention to whether their death will have any impact on the Principality of Nord. After all, he still has a new Grand Duke.

If the Principality of Nord, under the control of a group of loyal cabinet members, launched a frantic revenge, how should the organization behind the assassination respond?

Nord is the Nord of the Grand Duke of Nord, and those cabinet members are loyal to Joseph. They are very likely to abandon everything in Nord and start a war. No matter who the final winner is, it is not the result that both sides want to see.

A living Grand Duke of Nord is more in line with the interests of all countries than a dead Grand Duke of Nord, because it is impossible for him to give up his inheritance and perish together, and it is not always the case if it is replaced by someone else.

It is different without the crown prince. The people below are in chaos and fighting with each other. Internal friction alone can make the Principality of Nord no threat at all. This is the main reason why Joseph immediately appointed the crown prince.

……

Looking at the messy reports in the newspaper, Joseph couldn't help but smile wryly.

Kate lay on the bed and asked lazily, "Why did Charlie become the number one male god?"

Kate recovered quickly, but she has been active for a few days, but she is too lazy to move and prefers to lie on the bed.

"Because the old No. [-] male god already has a son."

It was a shameless answer, but Kate nodded very seriously, because what he said was the truth.

"Do you really want to give the first royal island to Charlie as a fief?"

"Sooner or later, this country will be his, it's just an island, and he should learn to manage it from an early age."

Kate didn't quite agree with Joseph's words, but she understood that it was not her turn to intervene in this matter, because this was the expectation and temptation of a country's monarch for his heir.

Stretching, Joseph suddenly said: "I will return to England after a while. I haven't seen those friends for a long time, and I really miss them. Let's spend the last six months with them!"

Joseph is a person who has a beginning and an end, and he can never give up his studies halfway. He was 18 when he got married, and he is now 17, so he will spend the last half of his adolescence in England.

　Thanks for the reward and the monthly ticket of the classmates who are in danger, and also thank the monthly ticket of the Tencent literature book friends... I can’t see who it is, including the brother who gave the reward.
