Chapter 1460: Where Does the Meat Come From?

Due to the reversal of the four seasons, Christmas in Australia in the midsummer will inevitably lose a little bit of the special atmosphere of the northern hemisphere. It is probably the kind that, in the cold winter, chatting around the stove at night, and reporting to the group to keep warm, people's hearts will also be a little more because of this gathering. Warm.

If you squeeze too close in summer, you will get prickly heat.

Simon also happens to be the kind of person who doesn't feel much about festivals, which doesn't matter. It has been nearly a month since I arrived in Australia. I thought it was a complete vacation to let go of everything, but it was actually impossible. Since Australia is going to be the base of the Westeros family, and even a place of refuge in some of the most extreme states, there are many things to do.

Even though the Westeros family now has a large enough team to use, many things still require Simon to come forward in person.

Therefore, since arriving in Australia at the end of the month, Simon has been non-stop.

First came to Melbourne. While living in the Johnston family’s mansion to connect with my family, there were various meetings and entertainments for more than a week, involving various circles such as politics, economy, culture, and military affairs.

Or a cognition that Simon realized very early.

Just as the capitals of many countries are often political, economic, and cultural centers, if you can control the politics, economy, and culture of a country, you basically control the country.

As for the military, it should be regarded as an extension of politics to be precise.

Moreover, frankly speaking, before 1994, Simon did not have the ability to penetrate into the most sensitive military field.

Of course it is different now.

Not to mention Australia, even in North America, Simon has continued to invest in the military field, and has achieved good results.

Of course, it is still far from Simon's goal.

The ultimate goal that Simon wants to achieve is to obtain at least a part of the decisive factor of the army, which apparently belongs to the national level, but is actually controlled by the Westeros system.

For ordinary people, this goal may seem out of reach, but it is actually not difficult.

Stripping away all kinds of cumbersome and dense rules in modern society, and wanting to control the barrel of guns, after all, are just two things.

The first is people.

After all, the army is commanded by people, so as long as you put your own people in the right positions, you can control an army to a large extent.

For example, at some extreme moments, some people issued an order to attack the Westeros family, and the commander of the troops who received the order happened to be one of their own. Then, not only would the result not be executed, but they could also fight back.

The second is money.

Serving as a soldier eats food, the truth that has not changed through the ages.

Therefore, in modern society, as long as one can hold the pocketbook of an army, it is also equivalent to controlling the army to a large extent.

For example, the penetration of the Westeros system into the U.S. military is combined with the first thing. When a military commander is a member of the Westeros system, then through the influence of the Westeros system in the American political circle, Try to tilt the super money bag of the national service budget to the army controlled by your own people.

On the contrary, for those parties that cannot be successfully penetrated, tighten, tighten, tighten, or even cancel completely.

Gradually, it is still a result of ebb and flow.

Moreover, this is the background of the normal operation of the United States.

In fact, as long as the United States is still operating normally, the possibility of the first condition of attacking the Westeros family is very low.

However, it is also assumed that under certain extreme circumstances, the collapse of the national order is probably falling into the turbulent era after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. The Westeros system, which has mastered huge wealth, does not even need to pass national rules. To indirectly control the army.

With money and food in hand, and enough penetration into the military system in advance, that is to say, there are also some people. In this case, it is only a blink of an eye to turn the national army into a private armed force.

That's not even hypothetical.

Simon has already carried out a successful practice in Ukraine. If the Westeros system needs it, the armed forces that can be pulled up in Ukraine at the moment are definitely not just the two private troops on the surface, but can mobilize the entire western Ukraine military region tens of thousands of armed forces. Because Simon not only controls the "people" of the Western Ukraine Military Region, but also has more "money" than the Kiev authorities.

As for legal legitimacy, which is very critical in the eyes of many people, things like manipulating people's hearts are really easier. Otherwise, for thousands of years in ancient and modern China and abroad, there would not be so many people who changed their banners and raised their flags to rebel and rebel.

Besides, in Australia, because of its small size, it is easier to operate at all levels.

Otherwise, later Australia would not be so easy to become a pawn.

Many people don't understand why the Australian authorities disregard the interests of the country but the interests of the people, and bite the bullet and do all kinds of things that harm others and benefit themselves?

Because the authorities don't need to worry about the overall interests, as long as their personal interests are satisfied.

Likewise, Ukraine.

If you want to control Ukraine, you only need to control those people at the top of the Ukrainian pyramid. As for the 40 to 50 million at the bottom, who cares?

Well, I still have to care about it.

After all, the free Ukrainian people can still vote for those who go to the top of the pyramid in order to obtain the interests of the West on their behalf, while accepting the control of the West. Of course, the abcd they can choose may just be the pawns pushed out in advance by some people. In the end, no matter who it is, the difference is not big.

The world is so absurd.

After watching the world coldly, Simon felt that a person, in this bone, has never been

It is a world where the weak are subject to the strong. In fact, there are only two choices. Either try to seize more resources and make yourself a meat eater, or you can only eat grass.

Everything else is false.

Zooming in, the country is actually the same, either eating meat or eating grass.

And you have to understand a little bit.

A very, very important point, that is: where does the meat come from? !

I figured it out, but I felt it was too cruel, I didn't dare to kill, I didn't dare to fight for it, I just wanted to clean up my own one-third of an acre of land, hoping that one day meat would grow in the farmland, but in the end, I still had to eat grass.

Then wait to be eaten.

After all, only sheep eat grass, and wolves eat sheep.

This is off topic.

Simon carefully operates Australia. Of course, it is not for a group of idiots to jump out as pawns one day in the future, but to create a neutral place like Switzerland. Even if the most serious nuclear war breaks out in the future, Australia can stay out of it as much as possible.

After socializing in Melbourne for more than a week, Simon flew to Western Australia with Anthony and others.

Ninety percent of the proven iron ore in the Australian mainland is in Western Australia. Furthermore, the private army of the Westeros family in Australia is also stationed near Perth, the capital of Western Australia. All these require Simon to personally Give it enough attention.

During the three-day trip to Western Australia, investments in various fields involving exploration, mining, railways, and ports totaling more than US$3 billion were quietly finalized.

It seems to be a bit of a waste of money, of course Simon knows that when these infrastructure projects are completed, the time will be after 2000. With China's accession to WTO and rapid economic growth, the global annual demand for iron ore will also increase significantly. To mention just one thing, in 1998, the total global steel production was only 770 million tons. More than ten years later, only China's steel production will exceed this figure, which naturally means a huge demand for iron ore.

All in all, in the field of iron ore, the Westeros system is currently undergoing a counter-cyclical layout.

Moreover, this kind of counter-cycle is not the kind of counter-cycle that South Korea has in the semiconductor industry.

Based on Simon's accurate prediction of the global steel industry, the current counter-cyclical layout is equivalent to digging out a deep moat in advance.

For example, investment in infrastructure such as railways and ports in the new mining area of ​​Western Australia. When the time comes, who can transport goods on these railways, who can only turn around in the relevant ports, and even related pricing rights are all based on the Westeros system. The final decision. As for other capitals, they feel that these railway ports are not easy to use, or that the price is too high, no problem, if you have the ability to repair one yourself?

The territory of Australia controlled by the Westeros system, even if you have money, you can repair it, and I lose!

Even outside of Australia, it is easier to occupy a pit in advance.

So this is not like semiconductors. Korean manufacturers beat down other manufacturers through counter-cyclical and price wars. However, as long as a country is determined to support related industries, Korean manufacturers still cannot achieve long-term monopoly.

Of course, Simon also knows that Australia's iron ore industry cannot gain a permanent advantage. However, Simon does not expect this extravagantly. He only needs the Westeros system to cut the biggest piece of cake during the booming period of the steel industry in the next two decades.

Again, Simon is now completely building the Westeros system as a country, so of course his own interests come first. Without interests, there will not be enough wealth resources, so all other arrangements will be out of the question.

After leaving Western Australia and returning to Melbourne briefly, Simon took his family to Tasmania across the sea.

Simon's gradual takeover of Tasmanian land has never stopped.

As of now, of the 68,000 square kilometers of land in Tasmania, the Westeros system has already eaten 46,000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than 11 million acres, accounting for 67% of the entire Tasmania area.

67%, is actually a very coincidental number.

Because the company laws of some countries stipulate that if a company wants to pass certain resolutions, it needs not 51% of the voting rights, but an absolute majority of 67% of the voting rights. Therefore, owning 67% of a company's shares is considered complete and unshakable control of a company.

Now, Simon controls 67% of the land in Tasmania, which is an absolute majority. To some extent, he can be regarded as completely owning the island.

Speaking of it, being able to continuously win so many lands, in addition to huge capital investment, on the other hand, is also the result of the continuous penetration of the Westeros system into Australia. After all, for some land, it doesn't mean that the local government can sell it if Simon wants to buy it, and it even involves the modification of relevant land laws and regulations.

The various obstacles to the annexation of the land of Tasmania over the years have been resolved one by one by the Westeros system.

The first is the original inhabitants of the land.

The Westeros system has given very generous conditions, relocating most of the residents scattered in villages and towns in Tasmania, and then the land of the villages and towns, and even the surrounding farms, were all destroyed in the process. Simon accepted.

Of course, there are those who are unwilling to relocate.

After all, there is no shortage of nail households in the world.

My grandparents have lived here for generations, why should I move away?

In this regard, the team of the Westeros family will not distinguish between the true aborigines who lived here for generations in Tasmania. They have been completely exterminated long ago. Compared with the mainland of Australia, there are really no aborigines left. After all, Australia did not start until 1967. A referendum was held to decide whether the Australian aborigines should be 'humans' or 'animals'. Before that, the Australian aborigines as 'animals' were treated similarly to 'animals'. If they were killed, they would be killed.

.

Simon only wants land, and he has no plans to develop real estate on these lands. Therefore, the few who do not want to move, let them stay.

Then remove everything else.

Water, electricity, gas, etc. Sorry, there are too few users to make ends meet. However, this is a personalized world. I will give you a bill, and if you can pay it, you can continue. If you can’t, then you can only regret it.

Go to court?

Over the years, under the operation of huge amounts of funds, the governor of Tasmania is the spokesperson launched by the Westeros family, and most of the Tasmanian state parliament is also the spokesperson launched by the Westeros family, and then penetrates downward, the entire Tasmania The authorities, up and down, are basically controlled by the Westeros system.

I can let you win a lawsuit?

Mobilize public opinion?

Sorry, the Westeros system has been annexed and integrated over the years, and the Internet, TV, and print media have blossomed, and their strength is stronger than that of the local snake News Corporation, which makes you mess with public opinion.

Of course, the Westeros system is still very humane.

A small number of nail households can't bear to live the life of primitive people for a period of time. If they want to move out, the conditions are still the same as before.

If you sit on the ground and start the price, then there is no need to talk about it.

Just keep being primitive.

After all, it is built as the foundation of the foundation. Simon's annexation of Tasmania's land cannot be too drastic after all. Not only that, the most important thing the Westeros system has done in Tasmania in recent years is to buy people's hearts .

If you build a completely deserted island with no one in it, that's actually not okay.

Tasmania has a population of about 500,000, which sounds like a lot at first glance. In fact, the population is only 1% of that of a province in China, so it works well. With the current strength of the Westeros system, it is not a problem to raise these 500,000 people completely without asking for anything.

Of course, Simon will not raise people in vain.

Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu.

If you raise it for nothing, you will only be asked for more.

However, Simon is also absolutely generous. In recent years, he has donated and built a large number of schools, hospitals and other facilities in Tasmania. At the same time, he has also tried his best to support local enterprises in Tasmania. Yes, the more obedient you are, the more benefits you can get, otherwise, of course you will get nothing.

After such an operation, the results can actually be imagined.
