Since Zhou Qingfeng opened the trading base of Merida, all the city's wealthy have made a fortune. More than 100,000 tons of coal are transferred from northern Mexico every month alone. These are the fuels that the Aurora Corps has acquired openly and are the energy that drives the operation of the Corps industrial system.
The financial industry of the transit port is naturally very developed, and several banks in Merida have been opened. The biggest one is naturally opened in the name of the Governor. Because it has the biggest name, it is naturally the most important financial service provider in the city.
Now, Governor Alfonso shows off the war bonds and completes the transaction directly from the account of the wealthy in the city. Headed by Mr. Paramon, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the 20th and 30th people were as uncomfortable as their parents.
Mr. Paramon stepped out of Merida City Hall in tears, holding a delicate small box in his hand, which was a stack of anonymous war bonds.
These bonds are also very beautifully printed, with watermarks, metal wires, color-changing inks, and security codes. Everything seemed very professional, but the words Special War Bonds printed on it made it impossible to like it. Although a face value of ten gold coins, it feels like waste paper.
A whole fifty thousand gold coins were flying like this, and Mr. Paramount really wanted to cry. He hopes that he can throw all the bonds in the trash can, but think about this war may still win ..., winning this bond may not make money!
Governor Alfonso issued a total of five million gold coins of war bonds. This batch of bonds was sold in the form of assessed shares among the elites in Merida. However, only a small number of them were sold, and the rest were sold to the Governor's Merida Reserve Bank.
But at this time, ghosts would not buy it, and all the people in the stalls hated their teeth. Governor Alfonso is no longer a good man who can lead them to make money. In a blink of an eye, he becomes a big villain who steals money from their pockets.
Paramount, holding a small box containing bonds, got into his car and slowly went home. When he was saddened by the sharp shrinkage of his property, he suddenly heard a rattling mechanical sound in front of him, and the ground shuddered slightly.
"What's the matter?" Mr Paramount was startled, and quickly asked the driver in the front row. Now during the war, Cancun was destroyed by missiles. Is it now Merida's turn?
Only the driver driving in the front row looked in amazement, turning the steering wheel in his hands, and the car evacuated to the side of the road. Mr. Paramount hurriedly jumped out of the car and looked surprisedly at a distance of dozens of meters. An armored unit was moving in the opposite direction.
"Where's the army?" Mr Paramount couldn't remember when there was such a force in the city. One chariot after another kept driving in front of him, the distance was only one or two meters. Feel these dozens of tons of behemoths up close, and you can appreciate the power and horror of the weapon of war.
The beginning of this unit was more than thirty m60a3s, which appeared to be pulled directly from the US military's combat readiness warehouse. Thinking about the Gulf War, the U.S. Army was driving Abrams, and the fourth class drove Saddam with these old Pattons.
Unexpectedly, these old goods appeared again.
The equipment behind Old Button's was much shabby. Most of them are a large number of French-style combat vehicles previously equipped by the Mexican Army, such as modified amx series combat vehicles. But the number of these tanks is huge, with hundreds. It is extremely rare to have such a powerful force these days.
Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Mr. Paramon suddenly felt that the small box fluttering with nothing had become extremely hot. The war bonds with a denomination of 50,000 gold coins immediately became valuable from useless waste paper.
The front chariot drove, followed by about a battalion towed artillery. Motorized infantry were behind the artillery, all in trucks. Judging by the appearance of the soldiers, most of them do not look like the Mexican army, ...
Mr. Paramon followed a few steps near a troop truck and shouted loudly to the soldier on the truck: "Hey man, where are you from?"
"Texas," a soldier with a gun replied coldly, and it seemed that they were not very interested.
"Texas? You are the forces of Inkley?" Mr. Paramount's heart almost turned up, and he actually saw the soldiers' uniforms. Alienated Stars and Stripes pattern on military uniforms has indicated the identity of the troops.
The soldier with the gun nodded, and the convoy left quickly. Mr. Paramount ran for two or three hundred meters and asked his own questions. In the end, he was tired and panting, but also very happy.
It seems that Enclave not only sent the navy and air force to block Cuba, but now actually sent troops to participate in the war directly. In this case, the war could really win a great victory!
Consider that the wealth of the Aurora Corps in Cuba can definitely be more than five million gold coins, and what can be divided by then will far exceed the amount of war bonds.
Hiss ..., thinking of this, Mr. Paramount suddenly felt a little hot. He kept telling himself to be calm and calm, but he couldn't calm down. The last thing is to keep patting your head to restore normal thinking ability.
"Turn around and go back to the town hall." Mr Paramount ran back to his car and ordered the driver.
The driver turned back and said, "Sir, we are going home soon."
"Which home are you going back to at this time? Go to the town hall right away!" With the desperate urging of Mr. Paramount, the car that had just come out of the town hall drove back immediately.
Only when he arrived at the town hall, Mr. Paramount found that there was no one here, and even the frontline commander, Mr. Giris, was not here. He asked the gate guard: "Where have all the people gone?"
"Go to the Governor's Mansion," the guard said.
"Ah, it! I should have thought of going to the Governor's House at this time." Mr. Paramount repented deeply, and quickly got into the car and rushed to the Governor's House.
Waiting for Paramount's driver to hurry up and drive to the place ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I was just in my heart cursing the Governor who was a vampire and a hooligan.
It's just that these old-fashioned guys maintain a high degree of tacit understanding and calmness at the moment. After looking at each other for a few moments, they started chatting, and after a long time they talked about bonds tentatively.
Mr. Paramon swept left and right, and did not see Governor Alfonso. He did not panic into the living room of the Governor's Mansion, pretending to be chatting with a bunch of visitors like nothing.
"Have you heard? The Merida Reserve Bank has suddenly announced that it will temporarily suspend the sale of war bonds."
"I know that the order is said to have come from Mexico City. President Dialgo appears to have intended to relinquish the authority to issue bonds."
"I also heard that the scale of the issuance of bonds this time will be expanded from five million to five hundred million gold coins. Also, a bond exchange will be established to provide financial services specifically for this batch of bonds."
Almost in the blink of an eye, all kinds of specious news fell from the sky like snow flakes. Mr Paramount wandered through the crowd, his face still, but his heart was pondering over and over again.
At this time, the old housekeeper Martin went into the parlor's living room and said loudly, "The Governor is going to take a lunch break. I don't see anyone now, you go back."
Now that the situation has changed, where is everyone willing to go now? They quickly smiled and issued various responses.
"While the Governor is resting, we can wait."
"The Governor must rest well, and we all hope he is in good health."
"Butler Martin, I'm Harding. When the Governor is awake, please inform me. His most loyal friend hopes to talk to him."
"Haddin, you get away. You are not the Governor's loyal friend at all. Martin steward, I am the Governor's loyal dog, Paramount. Please inform the Governor, I am waiting for his call.
