Chapter 485: The Reaction of the United States and Li Qing's Assets
Office of the Undersecretary of Defense, Hexagon Building, Beautiful Country.
William's face was ashen as he looked through the information that the staff had pried out of Meha's mouth. He did not expect that Gao Lu, who had always been a loyal brother of the Beautiful Country, would secretly be in cahoots with the targets of the Beautiful Country's sanctions.
In the name of aiding the construction of nuclear power plants, he helped Samu research nuclear bombs. The most important point is that Gaul actually touched the Middle East oil.
The whole world knows that the beautiful country has always used Middle East oil as its private property, and the Gallic chicken secretly extended its claws.
What's the fucking difference between this and seducing your sister-in-law?
The angry William stood up directly and walked to the office of the Minister of Defense with the information. He knew that the Minister was now in the office waiting for the results.
...
Li Qing also knew that the beautiful country would take action, but he did not expect that the action would come so quickly and have such a big impact.
First, the beautiful country's die-hard brother in the Middle East, the Hebrew Kingdom, used a well-known secret service organization to blow up the enriched uranium secretly hidden in Gaul by the Baron Kingdom, and then used a honey trap to assassinate Misha, the chief scientist of the Baron Kingdom.
Finally, in the early morning of late September, the Hebrew Air Force flew directly over Jordan at an ultra-low altitude and sneaked into Barron, directly blowing up two nuclear reactors in Barron.
This action caused an uproar internationally, but what surprised everyone was that the Barron country did not take any countermeasures and instead swallowed this bitter pill.
The United States began to impose sanctions on Gaul quietly. First, the Ministry of Trade of the United States announced an additional 25% tariff on some Gaul products worth US$5 billion.
In addition, the United States Department of Justice also fined a Gallic company up to US$1 billion.
The reason is that this company is suspected of supporting terrorism and has paid millions of dollars in "protection fees" to terrorist organizations in the Middle East.
Finally, the Beautiful Country also confiscated a large number of famous Gaul wines due to quality issues.
These combinations of punches stunned Barun Guo and Gaul Chicken.
After Gaul was sanctioned, all scientific researchers in Barron were honestly transferred back.
Samu is even mute and eats Coptis chinensis and dare not say a word.
Li Qingdu couldn't help but admire the power of the Beautiful Country. The main reason was that the Beautiful Country had so many resources that it could make Gaul and Baron suffer.
Different from the bitter faces of the two countries, Li Qing has gained favor from the military of the beautiful country. The Ministry of National Defense of the beautiful country continued to add a batch of military orders with a stroke of a pen.
Of course, these orders are not for the beautiful country itself. The beautiful country secretly funds some organizations around the world, and these arms are prepared for them.
Li Qing accepted the offer unceremoniously and immediately contacted Qi Gang from his hometown.
"Brother Qi, have you received the things?" Li Qing asked with a smile.
Beautiful Country imposed sanctions too quickly, and the information was received when Beautiful Country began to sanction Gaul and Baron.
"I got it, hehe! I made a lot of money from selling the specialties from my hometown." Qi Gang said cryptically with a smile.
Although the news was received later than the beautiful country, it was faster than other countries. My hometown still made a fortune in international oil.
There may be other benefits, but Qi Gang was too embarrassed to elaborate on them on the phone.
Li Qing knew from Qi Gang's tone that his hometown must have used this information.
"Well, send me two more copies of your hometown's specialties!" Li Qing said cheerfully.
This sentence made Qi Gang stunned for a moment, but after a few seconds he realized what the "specialty" Li Qing was talking about.
"Ahem...Okay, the more the merrier, how about I give you two more? You can give it to a friend or something." Qi Gang smiled so hard that his teeth bared.
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately became confused. Two more warehouses wouldn't be enough to store it. "No, I'm going to finish eating, and I'll ask you for more. Okay, that's it..."
Li Qing quickly hung up the phone, fearing that he would sell his hometown's "three-piece specialty set" again.
After finishing all this, Li Qing leaned his head on the chair, closed his eyes and thought about his current resources.
First of all, the territory. Southeast Asia is the basic territory. The Java Chinese Autonomous Region has now slowly radiated to surrounding countries, and Yanran will rise to become the economic center of Southeast Asia.
In the early days, the Aoki-gumi's sphere of influence was mainly Tokyo, but it has also been slowly eroding the Yamaguchi-gumi in various places.
South Korea's Kinmen Group has completely taken control of Seoul and has become the underground overlord of Seoul. Mao Xianmin has also become a new chaebol and can also influence South Korea's strategy in some aspects.
In Wanwan, the New World has occupied half of Taipei's territory, and its status in the province has surpassed that of the Sanlian Gang.
There are relatively few sites in the beautiful country, and most of them are outside Chinatown.
Secondly, in terms of industrial development in the new world, the bulk of it is naturally the arms industry, which includes manufacturing, smuggling, sales and other links. It is already a mature arms dealer with a complete industrial chain and safe channels.
In the rubber industry, New World Group has basically monopolized rubber in Southeast Asia.
What surprised Li Qing was that Dahu and Ergou not only did the magazine well, but even the "Dragon Power" condoms entered the world market and are now as famous as Durex, Okamoto, and James Bond.
South Korea's New World Heavy Industries, one-third of Fengtian's shares and one-quarter of Panasonic's shares in Xiaozhi are now in the period of exerting their strength, and they will continue to bring benefits to New World Group.
However, the most promising industry under New World is the new electronic industry. TSMC, South Korea's New World Electronics, and the Banana Company of the United States have worked together to form a complete industrial chain, which has already emerged in the world.
The gambling industry under New World is also a money-printing machine. It not only involves the Macau Casino and the Las Casino, but since New World has taken over the Shell family industry, it has its own casino industry in major casinos.
There is also "Hong Kong Telecom". Li Qing does not rely on it to make money. Sometimes this represents a kind of standing in line, and also symbolizes a kind of trust. The trust of the old family in him!
Finally, there is the New World Hotel. Li Qing defines the New World Hotel as a tool to open the prestige of the New World.
Now the New World Hotel is also developing very well. It has completely replaced the status of mainland hotels in Southeast Asia and East Asia, and it is also stepping up to squeeze the living space of mainland hotels in the United States.
In South America, the New World Hotel is also being laid out. I believe that it will develop soon.
Finally, there is the invisible force behind Li Qing. Among the five gangsters, there are the old family and the United States. These two support him behind the scenes.
In addition, Li Qing is also a big arms dealer. Not to mention Southeast Asian countries, he can also talk about South America and Africa.
The Middle East is a bit complicated. Li Qing doesn't want to get involved. Generally, Yuri comes forward.
Li Qing sighed. He didn't expect to conquer such a large territory and industry in these years.
But the New World has always been blank in two places, one is Europe, and the other is Australia.
Europe is because there are too many forces, and it involves its ally Camorra. Now the two organizations are in a honeymoon period, so Li Qing can't make a move.
The other Australia, well... Li Qing admitted that he did forget it.
"Dongxiu, which organization did the Australian who I met on the Great Wall last time belong to?"
Li Qing raised his head and looked at Zhang Dongxiu who was sitting next to him and asked.
"Brother, I know, it seems to be called 4k party?" Crow took the opportunity to interrupt, showing his memory.
"Really?" Li Qing doubted Crow's answer. He didn't remember hearing the name 4K.
At this time, Zhang Dongxiu took the phone and looked for it, "Brother, it's called 4R, the leader of the other party is Franks, and they seem to owe us a few casinos."
Li Qing: "......"
