Chapter 270 Adding Fuel to the Fire
March 27, 22 years.
The negotiations between Assam and India were dull and cold.
To put it in one sentence, both sides didn't want to talk at all, they were just thinking about how to fight next .
In the Principality of Kiev on the vast plains of Eastern Europe, the war was also a mess. The performance of the two warring parties was like that of weaklings pecking at each other, which was simply surprising to all parties.
Plus the weird atmosphere of Southeast Asia.
And America's restlessness.
Persia, far away in West Asia, suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that it would allow countries other than Hongsavadi to use gold and yuan to settle oil and natural gas and purchase oil and natural gas from Persia.
This news immediately caused a huge uproar.
Hongsavadi.
Yangon.
Li Xingchen from the China Petroleum Branch, Lai Shengli from the COFCO Branch and others quickly held a meeting in the office building of the COFCO Branch at the invitation of the man with glasses.
As soon as Li Xingchen arrived at the small meeting room, he looked anxious: "The situation is not good!"
"Team Leader Qin, do we want to activate the emergency plan?" Lai Shengli also sensed the precarious situation of Hongshawadi.
The man with glasses raised his glasses and said, "Let's start! You will start returning to China in batches, or heading to Malaysia or Hong Kong."
"I'll arrange it right away." Lai Shengli nodded solemnly.
But Li Xingchen asked: "What about the oil pipeline? We can't just give up, right?"
The man with glasses asked with a twinkling look in his eyes, "I heard that the United Group is thinking of acquiring oil and gas pipelines?"
"Is this appropriate? Their prices are quite low."
"3 billion gold yuan is indeed a low amount, but 3 billion gold yuan is a lot of gold," the man with glasses reminded.
Li Xingchen understood immediately. He knew that if he didn't withdraw now, when the fighting really started, he might not get even a dime, let alone 3 billion yuan.
He made a decision in his heart, and at the same time secretly felt sorry for Hong Shawadi.
Li Xingchen, Lai Shengli and others left in a hurry.
The man with glasses stood in front of the window, overlooking the whole Yangon, his eyes calm but with a little regret.
"We are just pawns after all. If you were not so arrogant and aggressive, we could still be friends. It's a pity that you have chosen a path of no return..."
Naturally, the small actions of a number of Chinese-funded enterprises did not escape the eyes of the Internal Affairs Department.
Go down to Dongzhi City.
Yang Mengjiao put down the intelligence she had just received from Yangon, with a hint of sarcasm on her face: "Haha, cherishing your body when doing great things, and forgetting your life when seeing small profits, the ancients were not deceiving me."
"Branch chief, do you want to..." Wu Hu asked.
Yang Mengjiao waved her hand and said, "Let them go. Send them the gold as well. I hope they won't regret it later."
At this stage, the regions with the largest reserves of gold yuan are actually Luzon, Siam, Ceylon, then Persia and Malaysia. China's more than 20 billion gold yuan is not even a fraction of Luzon's.
Since Hongsavadi promised that gold yuan could be exchanged for gold, there was naturally no reason to refuse the exchange.
This is also one of the core elements of Jinyuan credit.
The one who really made Yang Mengjiao look up to him was actually Persia, who deliberately added fuel to the fire today. It was obvious that Persia showed no sign of caring about the 38.2 billion yuan in foreign exchange it held.
As Yang Mengjiao had access to a large amount of intelligence, it was natural for her to easily see Persia's intention, which was to deliberately provoke America.
If America swallows its anger, Persia will not lose anything. After all, they have been sanctioned to the extreme now, and they may be able to break through the siege by using gold and silver.
If America could not help but take action, for Persia, it would successfully drag America into the quagmire of Honsavadi, reducing the external pressure on Persia.
As for the possibility that Hongsavadi could win, Persia had never thought about it at all.
After all, how did Hongsavadi defeat America?
With that giant cannon?
Stop joking.
It was not just Persia that believed that Hongsavadi was doomed to lose, other forces also thought so.
Therefore, all parties' industries and personnel in Hongsavadi were evacuated rapidly.
On the international Internet, various remarks criticizing Hongsavadi, Siam and Luzon are also spreading rapidly.
This obvious propaganda campaign was obviously aimed at destroying Hongsavadi and forcing Siam and Luzon to "turn to the light."
However, the three parties involved seemed not to notice these actions and continued to make internal adjustments as usual.
Siam.
Thonburi.
Xie's Manor.
Looking at the empty manor, Xie Zheng's gaze rested on the green waves of the lotus pond. A silver snake flashed across the sky covered with dark clouds.
Snap...
The raindrops hit the water in the pool, creating ripples.
A figure wearing a sky-blue cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella walked through the pavilions and towers of the manor and appeared behind Xie Zheng.
"West Lake Longjing? Or Ceylon black tea?"
The woman closed her thin black lips and said, "Of course it's Ceylon black tea."
Xie Zheng turned around and looked at the extremely cold face in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Can you represent her?"
"There is no difference between me and her."
No difference? Xie Zheng was slightly surprised. "Representative" and "no difference" are two words with huge differences.
"What's your name?"
"You can call me Ms. Bai." Domino looked at the lotus pond calmly.
Xie sat up straight and said, "Ms. Bai, may I ask you a question? Don't you think the wind is a bit strong?"
"Master Xie, do you know where this place is?" Domino didn't care at all and continued to admire the spring scenery of the lotus pond under the gentle breeze and drizzle.
"But it's hard for this manor to remain intact during a typhoon!"
Domino smiled as he grabbed a handful of bait and sprinkled it in the pond. Suddenly, a bunch of koi popped up, scrambling to get the bait. “The wind from the North Atlantic cannot reach the Pacific.”
"..."Xie Zheng was very confused.
He was also an old fox, so he naturally saw that the other party was fearless.
'Where do they get the confidence from? America is coming with such force this time, do they think they can have it both ways? Or do they intend to abandon Hongsavadi and go directly to America?'
"No! Siam has been mobilizing recently and has converted some of its car production lines into military production lines. It doesn't look like it's going to give in. Is it trying to make America give up?"
"Damn it! What's your confidence? This situation is too dangerous..."
At this moment, Xie Zheng was very conflicted. He had secretly asked someone to remind Qiu Yingle a few days ago, just to do him a favor.
But unexpectedly, Qiu Yingle did not react at all. He still acted as if Siam was very safe and continued to strengthen its armaments in secret. He showed no sign of admitting his mistakes to America.
This made Xie Zheng very conflicted.
These days, there are many people who are secretly looking for him. Some come from the north, some come from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and some are "good friends" from all over Southeast Asia.
Xie Zheng, who was well aware of the way to protect himself, directly rejected these guests.
He looked at Domino again, still motionless and cold.
"Master Xie, why bother? It's your freedom to choose whatever you want."
Haha, Xie Zhengcai doesn’t believe in freedom. If Siam can really withstand this wave, there will definitely be a reckoning later.
This is exactly why Xie Zheng doesn't want to get involved, as he might end up getting into trouble.
If he chose Siam, it would be a huge gamble, which is also something Xie Zheng would not choose. This big family is already very rich, and there is no need to gamble so much.
Domino stood up: "Thank you for the treat, goodbye!"
"Take care. I won't see you off any further."
Still holding the oil-paper umbrella, Domino's figure gradually walked away in the drizzle.
Xie Zheng's eyes flashed with uneasiness: "Is it really right to be prudent and protect yourself?"
