Silicon Valley

After lunch, Henry and Violet went to swim in the hotel's open-air swimming pool, and then slept on the sun loungers wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun.

"Williet, tell those in charge of Zimbabwe to act quickly! Try to develop Zimbabwe as quickly as possible, so that 'others' can see the benefits of joining the 'Wei Yuan' system!" Henry said without opening his eyes. , but when he said the word "others", his tone couldn't help but aggravated, clearly referring to Mozambique.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Speaking, Violet took a cashew nut from the fruit plate and fed it to Henry.

76% of Mozambique's population is engaged in agricultural production, and it is especially famous for its rich cashew nuts, so Mozambique is known as the "hometown of cashew nuts"! When tourists leave Mozambique, they probably have cashews on their minds. Cashew nuts are rich in nutritional value and can be used for cooking and medicinal purposes. They are one of the four famous dried fruits in the world. Mozambicans are poor, but cashew nuts have brought them considerable wealth!

...

At this very moment, tremendous changes are taking place in Zimbabwe. Many banks have suddenly changed their signboards and become "Standard Bank" with the "Williams" LOGO printed on them. The "billionaire" rich man came to the bank with a sack of money to exchange for Wei Yuan!

"Jinyuan has depreciated too much, so hurry up and exchange it for Weiyuan, this is the only way to preserve its value!"

"Yes! It's just that there are too many people queuing up, and I don't know how long it will take!"

An ordinary black woman in line looked at the crowd of people and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. But she was very happy in her heart. Zimbabwe has received help from the Williams empire. The domestic economic environment has been swept away from the past haze, and it has been changed instantly, and there are still many projects that are being implemented. The government said that these projects need to recruit a large number of workers to solve employment problems. . In other words, I can find a job in the future.

There is a light in the eyes of black women, which is full of hope and longing for the future!

The grand exchange of Zimbabweans for dollars soon spread to Mozambique, arousing people's shock and envy. A large majority of Mozambicans call on Mozambique to use Weiyuan, and get investment from the Williams empire to improve the country's economic level! However, the Mozambican government wants to maintain the independence of its own national currency, but also wants to get more benefits from the Williams empire. It wants to have both fish and bear's paw, so the negotiations have been deadlocked.

Although the negotiation was not going well, Henry was not in a hurry. In Mozambique these days, it's time to travel.

But at this time, a piece of news came from the country that made Henry furious.

"Your Majesty, three merchant ships of our country were hijacked by Somali pirates at around 10:30 this morning!" Violet said, "These three merchant ships transported diamonds, gold, and a large amount of grain and iron ore, with a total value of 22.5 In addition, there are 144 crew members on the three merchant ships, but so far, we don't know if there are any casualties!"

Henry suddenly jumped up, stood up from the chair, and said coldly with a cold expression on his face, "How dare you hijack a merchant ship from the Williams Empire?!"

"Villette, get ready now, let's go back home!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, the news of the hijacking of the merchant ship has already made the headlines in the media newspapers of the Williams Empire, causing an uproar, and many people are outraged!

"The Somali pirates are really rampant. I heard that if the general caravan passes through Somalia, they must pay tolls, ranging from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars!"

"Somalia's geographical location is very unique. It is the shortest route between Europe and Asia, Oceania, and Africa through the Suez Canal. Therefore, there are many fleets that come and go, which naturally provides the conditions for being a pirate. But Somalia is too poor , the unemployment rate is high, and the dream of many Somalis is to grow up to be a pirate. And the profession of pirate has almost become synonymous with Somalia!"

"Damn, Japanese A~V are amazing enough, I didn't expect Somali pirates to be even more awesome! Obviously occupying such a good location, if you build a port city and become a trade center between the two sides, you will make a lot of money! The European fleet is going to Asia for trade. , the Asian fleet is going to trade in Europe, but if both parties trade in Somalia, it can save half the journey and time for both parties. How much money will be saved! And Somalia can also get huge benefits from it! Obviously you can rely on' I have a good place to eat, but I have to rely on "robbing houses" to make money, I am also drunk!"

"Hehe, the idea upstairs is good, but what kind of place is Somalia? It is not only poor, but also has endless civil wars. Can you build the port trade center you mentioned?"

"Uh, yes... However, this time the Somali pirates dared to hijack the caravan of our Williams Empire, and simply sent troops to destroy them and occupy Somalia. With the financial resources of our King, not to mention a port trade center, the entire Somalia Can develop. Do you think our Williams Empire has developed now?"

"Well, I strongly support eliminating pirates and occupying Somalia!!!"

"..."

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on April 10, 2004, Henry returned to Diego, and immediately held a meeting without stopping!

With a sullen face, Henry glanced at everyone, and then his eyes stopped on a white man in his thirties with a slightly thin body. His name was George Eleanor, and he was the director of the Williams Empire Bureau of Investigation.

"George Eleanor, have you found out which Somali pirates hijacked our fleet?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. This group of pirates is called the Alva Pirates, named after their leader, Alva Constance. There are at least 500 pirates! However, according to our investigation, Alva Constance and Somalia The Harrison rebels are very closely related, and I suspect that the Alva Pirates are actually the money-making tool of the Harrison rebels!!!”

Henry frowned and asked, "Tell me about the situation of the Harrison rebels!"

George Eleanor nodded and said: "Harrison's rebel army is one of the five major warlords in Somalia. There are seven to eight thousand armed personnel. They have heavy weapons such as tanks and rockets. They occupy the southeastern part of Somalia. The leader is named Harrison. Benedict, he is very cruel and murderous! According to our investigation, the Harrison rebels also smuggled arms and drugs, and controlled more than 20 mines!"

Speaking of this, George Eleanor suddenly paused, and then hesitated: "Your Majesty, the Harrison rebels dare to provoke even the US military, and I am afraid they will not return the fleet and property..."
