MTL - The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon-v3 Chapter 2 Heaven and Hell (4000 words
Zimbabwe, close to Zambia.
Harare is only 490 kilometers from Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.
By car, it only takes six hours.
And if you only count the distance from the Zimbabwe border to Lusaka, it is only a mere 200 kilometers.
But these two hundred kilometers, in the eyes of Wu Dalong and his party, became the dividing line between **** and heaven.
As the international copper price continues to climb into the abyss, it is even lower than the lowest price 20 years ago.
Zambia, which mainly relies on the export of raw ore, has fallen into hell.
Amid mass unemployment, countless families and individuals began to face food shortages.
More than 20,000 refugees lost their lives to starvation.
The rate of crime such as robbery and theft occurs almost all the time.
In this regard, the Zambian government has been powerless.
Unemployment has turned a large number of people into a mob, and the hungry and poor people, led by former President David, have launched an attack on Chiluba's government.
In order to suppress David's rebels, the Zambian government has never had the opportunity to deal with domestic problems.
Fortunately, all this finally ushered in a turning point.
a month ago.
The Zambian government forces and David's rebels have reached a peace deal.
For this country, for seventeen million black brothers.
Both sides are willing to lay down their arms to save a country that is already on its way to hell.
Because too many people have died in the war.
Government army side.
Defence Minister Narendra Modi, unfortunately encountered during a rebel attack.
A bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle directly hit the head of the defense minister.
Under the terrifying power of the Barrett sniper rifle.
Modi has only his body left.
The war was extremely fierce.
David's side continued to attack the Presidential Palace like crazy.
It was also in that war that President Chiluba was unfortunately hit by a grenade that fell from the sky and died on the spot.
David's side also lost a lot.
Many soldiers and generals under his command fell more than half in that attack.
It can be said that, except for the supervising team, almost all of them were killed.
The government is not doing well either.
The Guards of the late Minister Modi all died heroically when they frantically avenged Modi.
More than 80% of Chiluba's tribal soldiers died in the war.
In war, human beings are crazy and lose their minds.
But after the ceasefire, human reason will return to the body.
Everyone is devastated by the death of their relatives and brothers.
No one wants anyone to fall again.
Therefore, the two sides finally signed a ceasefire cooperation agreement.
Together they will drag this country out of the lava of hell.
Inside the Presidential Palace in Lusaka.
The newly formed ruling party is discussing how to resolve the current domestic chaos.
Former finance minister Safir, exercising his powers as interim president, sits at the top.
David, the new Secretary of Defense, sat second.
The second is the ministers temporarily appointed by the new ruling party.
Saffir was able to serve as Minister of Finance when Chiluba was in power, not entirely because of his relationship with Chiluba.
He can see at a glance what the current domestic problems are.
Saffir opened his mouth.
"Our people are not born thugs, they become thugs because they can't make a living because of food shortages. So the main problem now is to solve the people's living problems. We need food, and now we have to let the people first Fill your stomach."
Sapphire finished speaking, and David nodded and said.
"Mr. President is right. It is precisely because my brothers can't survive that I will lead everyone to ask the government for a statement. But the bastard, former President Chiluba, refused our request. He wanted us all to be hungry. die."
"Oh. I'm deeply sorry for what Chiluba has done. I've asked for a peaceful solution several times before, but Chiluba has rejected them. My incompetence has caused this year of bloodshed."
"No no no. You don't need to say sorry, Mr. President. If you talk about responsibility, it is also my responsibility. It was I who failed to restrain my brothers and made things spiral out of control."
The scene suddenly became a little strange.
The negotiation somehow turned into mutual apology and comfort.
Someone can't watch it anymore.
"Cough cough...
Two distinguished gentlemen, I think everyone understands that you are guilty of bloodshed and sacrifice, but I think the most important thing now is to solve the chaos in Zambia. "
"That's right, that's right. Mr. Head is right. Our priority now is to find a solution to the chaos. If one day is delayed, there will be hundreds of people who may die of starvation."
"Yes, what we need most now is food. As long as there is food, I think the situation will be under control soon."
"Alpha, how much food do we have now?"
Alpha Kanjira.
Minister of Agriculture.
In addition to being responsible for the domestic agricultural aspects, it is also responsible for the general aspects of the reserves.
Under the inquiry of President Safir, Alpha Kanjira looked confused.
"Now our food can be used in Lusaka for a month at most. If it is distributed to the whole country, it may not last even a week."
"Oh, **** it. Looks like we need to buy more food."
When someone offered to buy food, Saffir's face turned green.
he embarrassed.
"This, this now we don't have much money to buy food."
Everyone was stunned.
Saffir, is the Minister of Finance.
President, only temporary.
So the government's financial problems, Safire is the most aware.
But now, Saffir actually said that he had no money to buy food.
Someone couldn't sit still.
"Mr. President, how much money do we have now?"
Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Safire said with an embarrassed expression.
"Is this... Probably, about eight thousand dollars left."
Eight thousand dollars.
Almost everyone was dumbfounded.
Noda is a country with only eight thousand dollars left financially.
If it is a family, the eight thousand dollars can live comfortably for a while.
But in Zambia now, there are more than 10 million people waiting to eat.
With this amount of money, I am afraid that one person will not be able to share even a single grain of wheat.
Someone is angry.
Former President David, after all, is a man who has been president.
He is well aware of how rich Zambia was when copper prices were high.
Financially at that time, there were tens of millions of dollars in reserve at any time.
But now, the dignified Ministry of Finance has only eight thousand dollars.
"Snapped..."
David slapped the table and roared.
"Bastard, how can you only have eight thousand dollars. What's the use of this money."
Someone takes the lead, and someone follows.
David patted the table, and someone immediately echoed.
"Yeah. I don't remember that the Treasury Department has at least $10 million in contingency at all times, how come it's only $8,000 now. Where's the money?"
These bastards.
One by one clamoring so powerfully, not all of them want to make a fortune.
Sapphire cursed in his heart.
But there was a look of crying on his face.
"Don't you know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. You need money to buy bullets, and you need money to maintain weapons. No matter how much money you spend, you can't stand the bullets."
"You mean, all the money was lost in this war?"
"Bastard, even if you fight, you won't be able to wipe out that much money."
When it comes to money, no one can stay calm.
Everyone has almost forgotten that Safire sitting on the top now is their Mr. President.
Don't say honorifics, even the **** are directly scolded.
Saffir had the urge to flip the table.
In any case, he is now also the president of a country, the supreme leader in name.
But these guys don't give any face at all.
But in the end, Saphir didn't dare to scold the words in his heart.
Who made him the president, now he has no military power and no money.
Chiluba's tribal soldiers, all dead.
Modi's tribal soldiers also died 99% of the time.
In the end, the anti-government armed forces that were able to suppress David were still thanks to the unremitting efforts of Darkwater International.
If Darkwater International had not eliminated more than 80% of David's power, I'm afraid David would have directly killed him as the Minister of Finance.
Sapphire was overjoyed.
Fortunately, the strength of Darkwater International is strong, and it is also fortunate that Darkwater International attaches great importance to credibility.
Otherwise, he would be a **** president.
We must keep Darkwater International, or when they leave, David will find a way to kill me.
After Safire made up his mind, he cast a plea for help at He Tianya, who was sitting at the back.
He Tianya was startled.
This idiot doesn't understand yet, does he?
It was Saffir's urgent and pleading eyes that made He Tianya have to believe that Sapphire really didn't see anything.
What Jiang Chuan said was absolutely correct.
Let black people play politics, God can laugh until his stomach hurts.
In desperation, He Tianya could only throw a look of encouragement and support to Safire.
This look made Saphir's heart fall into his stomach.
He stood up, slapped the table fiercely and cursed.
"What do you mean? Do you suspect that I have embezzled the money? I tell you, it was all done by Chiluba. After the outbreak of the war, he was worried that he would not be able to keep Lusaka, so he moved the money elsewhere. place?"
If you have money, that's fine.
Someone quickly asked.
"Where did the money go?"
Saffir glanced at the person who asked the question like he was looking at an idiot.
"How do I know this question? Do you want to ask Chiluba?"
Saffir's sudden toughness made the person who spoke stunned.
Then, he felt that the atmosphere in the field was a little weird.
He looked down the strange source, and then shivered.
In the most inconspicuous corner at the back, He Tianya, the leader of Darkwater International, was sharpening his nails with a dagger.
He didn't look up, as if he didn't care about the fight on the field at all.
But for some reason, Safire's eyes were on him, and David's eyes were on him.
Almost everyone's eyes are on He Tianya, who doesn't seem to be here.
This discovery made the person who spoke finally realized something.
He suddenly found out.
Now Lusaka, and even the whole of Zambia.
The biggest force has unknowingly become the Darkwater International.
After the two sides came to power through peaceful negotiation, the mercenaries hired by each other naturally ceased fighting.
But unexpectedly.
David's mercenary army, led by its leader Black Fox, was incorporated by Darkwater International.
This is a surprise, not a surprise.
The mercenary group is like a first-class contractor.
As long as there is money and power, it is normal to annex some small mercenary organizations.
Darkwater International is rich and powerful.
The luxurious equipment and generous salary are the envy of anyone who joins the mercenary organization.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the people of Black Fox were cast under the banner of Darkwater International.
But here comes the problem.
After Darkwater International annexed the Black Fox mercenary organization, it became the biggest force in Lusaka.
They are the most professional soldiers and have unimaginably powerful weapons and equipment.
Apache military helicopters, and now Darkwater International has thirteen.
Even the main battle tank, Darkwater International has two.
Such a dark water world is an extremely terrifying existence.
now.
The policemen who maintained post-war law and order on the streets of Lusaka were recruited by Darkwater International.
The guards of the presidential palace are almost all from Darkwater International.
Including the suppression of small groups of reactionary thugs in Zambia, it is also mainly from Darkwater International.
After realizing this, the person who opened the mouth immediately felt a sudden shock.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on He Tianya like everyone else.
With He Tianya's keenness, how could he not feel it when more than a dozen lines of sight were cast on him.
But he still lowered his head and cut the nails on his hands like nothing.
He Tianya is very dark.
But his hands were white and delicate.
Those hands didn't look like the hands holding a gun and drawing a knife at all.
The slender five fingers do not look like the hands that killed hundreds of people in one year.
The atmosphere in the arena began to become a little depressing.
Throughout the conference room, needles could be heard falling.
However, no one dared to speak to break this quiet depression.
President Saffir did not dare, nor did Vice President and Secretary of Defense David.
Others dare not.
Suddenly ~www.novelbuddy.com~ He Tianya raised his head and smiled.
This smile, like seeing a green vegetation in the cold winter, made everyone feel a sense of relief.
Under this smile, the calm and oppressive atmosphere disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the repression just now, almost everyone felt an unspeakable death threat.
Instinct told them that the threat was coming from the nail-cutting dagger in He Tianya's hand.
And now, that threat is lifted.
He Tianya sat on the chair and glanced at everyone in the arena playfully.
After that, he shrugged.
"Dear gentlemen, isn't it because we have no money to buy food? This kind of trivial matter is actually easy to solve."
Above the chief, Saphir exhaled lightly, showing a high-spirited look.
He Tianya said this, obviously helping him.
Dark Water was indeed on his side.
As long as there is the support of Dark Water, none of these guys can do anything to him.
He Tianya's words fell, and Safire answered immediately.
"Mr. Head, I don't know if you have any good suggestions."
