Chapter 446: Brewing
"Magic! It must be related to magic!"
"Yes, Umbrella now controls the most silver mines in the world, and has also bought a lot of other mineral resources during this period. They are not short of anything. What could be worth doing this for them? It can only be related to magic!"
"Yes, could it be that there is something that has a greater influence on magic power than silver?"
"Umbrella felt that they had a conflict with that mysterious organization, so they chased them directly until they discovered important resources."
"So domineering, but I like it."
“…”
It can be said that both Gaul's abnormally tough attitude and Umbrella's response have attracted a lot of onlookers.
Yes, Gaul is not like the Beautiful that can travel around the world, so surprise attacks are not as threatening to them.
But after all, you have a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, right? Aren't you afraid that others will keep an eye on you?
This only shows that the interests involved this time are huge enough!
This is true for both parties.
The incident happened in Africa, and this time Da Piaoliang just acted like a spectator. She only spoke out in support of Gaul and expressed her agreement with their views, and then did not make any other comments.
The taxes have already been increased. Aren’t you afraid of Umbrella’s counter-sanctions last time?
Besides, if Gaul is conquered and he, as an ally, wants to come here to study together, he won't, uh, object, right?
Of course it’s better to have a punch!
Was Umbrella’s previous attitude and reverse sanctions so arrogant?
Of course I’m angry!
It’s just that I have a large family and a lot of bottles and jars at home, there’s nothing I can do about it.
Soon, Gaul took some economic measures.
Relying on its position in the European Union, it forced a bill to restrict the access of Umbrella's new electric vehicles.
Prussia itself is also a major automobile manufacturing country, and it has always been resistant to new energy vehicles. It does not rely much on Umbrella. It originally had this idea, but at the beginning it was inclined to increase taxes and did not want to tear its relationship apart.
Now Gaul suddenly jumped out to take the initiative to resist the lightning and attract hatred, so he was naturally happy to hide behind.
However, Umbrella was too lazy to pay any attention to the sanctions and measures imposed by Gaul.
Instead, they started to attack Congo with all their strength!
Simply put, it's about spending money!
Yes, if the problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem.
Umbrella does not want to use force unless necessary.
But this time, the invincible money offensive seemed somewhat ineffective in Congo.
In other words, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.
The Gauls were behind the two Congo Wars. They will really come to Africa!
Yes, Umbrella is very strong.
The kangaroo navy was wiped out.
Its economic strength is also that of a country that is rich enough to rival any other country.
However, no matter what, the overall size is limited. If things really come to a head, how can we compete with a truly powerful country?
Yes, it can form an asymmetric attack, but the opponent has thick blood and can withstand it!
Kangaroo can be regarded as an isolated island, which is extremely dependent on sea transportation. Umbrella can be said to have easily strangled its lifeline.
But it is not appropriate to use this to threaten Gaul, as it is impossible to attack cargo ships indiscriminately.
Now it can be said that both sides have reasons not to retreat, but the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is caught in the middle, is completely confused.
Afterwards, Congo had no choice but to make an official announcement.
"There are traces of rebel activities in the rainforest, which is not under our control. We have hired Umbrella to clean up the rebels and invited Gaul to provide military support. As for the 'magic mine', the discoverer can pay to mine it. The specific amount can be discussed in detail after the 'discovery'..."
It can be said that the response of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has greatly dissatisfied the Gaul side. Yes, it seems that neither side is helping each other, and it even allows both sides to fight freely on their own territory. To some extent, it has helped the larger Gaul more.
Otherwise, if the two sides only engaged in a small-scale local confrontation, Gaul himself would know that he could not win.
But this has always been my own back garden!
This alone is far from enough!
He must stand completely on his side and condemn Umbrella's invasion, so that he can occupy the moral high ground!
In fact, for small countries, sometimes even being neutral means facing tremendous pressure.
In order to achieve its own goals, Gaul also responded in a very high-profile manner.
"It is because of the incompetence of you, the leaders, that the rebellion has not stopped."
The Gallic leader made condescending comments and accusations against the leader of another country in front of the media.
Although in terms of national strength, the two sides are indeed completely incomparable.
However, this ruthless public humiliation still made the leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo feel very embarrassed.
He just threw it out and retorted
"Stop looking at us with the eyes of the former colonizers! Put away your condescending attitude!"
It can be said that Gaul originally just wanted to step on the other side to demonstrate its influence in Africa.
After all, normally the other party shouldn't open their mouth to refute.
However, the change in reality caught him completely off guard!
Gaul, who was used to sucking blood from Africa, never expected to get such a response.
This was simply a slap in the face, with no way out at all.
Fortunately, Congo did not withdraw its initial promise. Although it is just talk, the strength comparison between the two sides is here.
Even at this point, they did not dare to directly turn to Umbrella, but still put on the attitude that they had no control over that place and that whoever got it would own it, and that it would be fine as long as they could give me a share in the end.
This is actually the tragedy of a weak country, which is completely powerless!
No choice!
So what if I speak out against it?
People will still come, just to make people laugh.
There are actually countless similar examples.
Maybe some people will say something, but when this becomes the norm, they will just accept the status quo.
It can be said that the sudden intensification of the conflict between Gaul and Umbrella was all due to the sudden emergence of interests.
Neither side can give up!
After that, it’s the traditional public opinion briefing.
This time Gaul was obviously serious and even prepared for the worst.
Given the strength of Umbrella's missiles, it is really possible to destroy an aircraft carrier.
In case the worst happens, he must rely on the preparations made in the early stages!
However, the ultimate reward is worth the high risk.
Once you can fully understand the technology and secrets, you will most likely be able to open the door to a new world just like Umbrella does today!
Perhaps this is why Umbrella is so domineering this time.
Subsequently, various parties around the world began to express their views one after another.
Mexico and Brazil directly expressed their support for Umbrella
"The rebellion was probably instigated by a mysterious organization, so Umbrella is just helping Congo to quell the rebellion. It's not their turn to make a big deal out of it. We have also invited them to help, and their service attitude is good."
"To threaten others in the name of an old empire at every turn is unbecoming of a great power."
Subsequently, the rabbit, kangaroo and bear also issued rational and neutral statements.
Call on all parties to remain calm and return to dialogue.
Other forces that are prejudiced against the West have also made similar remarks.
But then, Gaul and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, led by Big Beauty, along with most other forces, expressed their condemnation of Umbrella.
A company that has been in business for less than three years is already openly challenging the Wuchang countries!
This is totally different from the kangaroo incident!
Then satellites and nearby yachts captured the Boeing 747-8 cargo plane that Umbrella bought taking off from Penglai and heading straight for Mexico...
Well, the locations of Africa and Penglai are almost on the opposite sides of the earth. Even the flight of 747-8 requires a transfer.
Judging from the photos taken on the yacht, these Boeing 747-8 cargo planes are painted completely black.
When this most cost-effective transport plane was painted all black, it inexplicably brought out a sense of oppression and shock...
