Before the graphene battery is released, Henry will not announce that he bought graphite mines around the world.

Right now, the price of graphite is skyrocketing, Henry asked Universal Graphite Producer Company to stop the acquisition, and wait for the price of graphite to drop before purchasing. Henry stopped, but the national speculators, like sharks smelling blood, entered the graphite industry and started to hype. The price of graphite has risen again and again. At the beginning, it was 1,000 RMB per ton, but now it has risen to 5,000 RMB per ton!

After Henry saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head, "The rise in graphite prices is too crazy, it's clearly another tulip bubble! It won't be long before this bubble will burst! At that time, the price of graphite will definitely plummet, just right to buy the bottom... "

"Your Majesty, in a blink of an eye, Christmas is coming, and there is good news that can be used as a gift!" Violet walked in front of Henry with a smile.

Henry pulled her into his arms and said, "What good news?"

"Your Majesty, there is news from the front that Austin's armed forces have defeated the Somali Alliance Army and unified the entire Somalia! However, Austin unfortunately died in battle."

"Austin really died in battle?"

"Hehe, I really can't hide it from you, Your Majesty!" Violet laughed, "After Austin unified Somalia, his ambitions suddenly swelled, and he didn't want to join the Williams Empire at all, so he was dealt with by our people! Now, Austin The armed new leader and most of the top brass are our own!"

"Order Austin's armed forces to wipe out the remnants of the rebels while establishing the regime of the Somali Republic!"

"Your Majesty, why don't Somalia be incorporated into the Williams Empire?"

There was a wise light in Henry's eyes, and he said: "After Austin armed and unified Somalia, he immediately joined the Williams Empire. Wouldn't it raise suspicion that the Williams Empire was behind the scenes? Let Austin arm first Establish a political power, join the 'Wei Yuan' system, and announce the merger into the Williams Empire after a few months, people's doubts will naturally be reduced a lot!"

...

On December 2, Somalia was unified and the Somali Republic regime was established, ending years of civil strife. The new President of Somalia, Apollo Carroll, said to the Somali people in front of the TV: "Somalia has suffered from wars for many years. Now, although our country is unified, the long-term poverty and weakness make Somalia the most prosperous country in the world. Poor country! Do you know what foreigners’ first impression of Somalia is? That’s right, it’s pirates, a group of demons who blackmail passing ships by robbing them! But, are we Somalis really willing to be pirates? What do pirates have? Alright, sleep in the open air, suffer all kinds of bumps on the sea, live at the gunpoint of death, precarious, the next moment you will either be buried in the stomach of a fish, or be shot to death! Who wouldn’t want to be like the Americans and be able to sleep peacefully at night? Sleeping in a comfortable bed, getting up with rich bread and milk in the morning, going to work after breakfast, three meals a day, what a wonderful life! However, for us Somalis, this is a distant An unattainable dream! Somalia is so poor that young people in Somalia can't find other jobs besides being pirates!"

Apollo Carroll burst into tears, and his language was contagious, and the Somali people watching TV couldn't help empathizing with them, and burst into tears!

"Where is the way out for us in Somalia?" Apollo Carroll almost shouted in a growling voice, directly hitting the heart. People can't help asking themselves, yes, where is the future of Somalia?

At this time, Apollo Carroll gave the answer: "Today, the Williams Empire, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania and Malawi, these countries have all developed at a rapid rate. They have one thing in common, they are all countries that have joined the 'Wei Yuan' system, so if Somalia wants to develop as soon as possible, it must also join the 'Wei Yuan' system! Therefore, the only person we can turn to now is Henry William His Majesty James, I hope he can help us rebuild our country in Somalia!!!”

After Apollo Carroll’s speech was finished, the second step was to organize people to parade on the street to publicize the strength and prosperity of the Williams Empire, and to tell people about the changes in Somalia after joining the “Wei Yuan” system.

After a lot of publicity, people in Somalia have generally gained an understanding that only by joining the "Weiyuan" system can the country become prosperous and strong.

A week later, Henry Williams held a press conference and announced that Somalia would be allowed to join the "Weiyuan" system and become the sixth member state. At the same time, in order to express its sympathy and care for the Somali people, the Williams Empire donated food and daily necessities worth 1 billion U.S. dollars for free!

...

"Apollo Carroll, prepare to brainwash the Somali people. After half a year, I demand that Somalia be incorporated into the Williams Empire!"

"Your Majesty, in less than half a year, I can guarantee that Somalia will be incorporated into the Williams Empire in three months!"

"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" Henry patted Apollo Carroll on the shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" After Apollo Carroll finished speaking, he bid farewell to Henry.

...

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, 2004 has passed.

The price of graphite is getting higher and higher, as high as 7200 yuan per ton. However, on February 1, 2005, the price of graphite plummeted in vain, falling below 7,000 in an instant, and then it was out of control, like an avalanche.

The Financial Times said: "Graphite is not widely used, but the price is ridiculously high. It is clear that someone behind the scenes is manipulating the price of graphite. Now, the graphite bubble has burst, and countless people will suffer heavy losses!"

On February 2, the price of graphite dropped to 4510 yuan.

On February 3, the price of graphite dropped to 3012 yuan.

On February 4th, the price of graphite dropped to 1700 yuan.

Every ton of graphite drops by almost more than 1,000 yuan per day, which is simply appalling. At this moment, almost all the media in the world are paying attention to the price changes of graphite. On February 5, 2005, Somali President Apollo Carroll suddenly called a press conference and announced to the outside world: "Since Somalia joined the 'Wei Yuan' system for three months, the lives of Somali people have been greatly improved. But we want to live a better life, like Malagasy and Comoros, we want to live a rich life and have no worries about food and clothing!

Therefore, the Somali Republic has unanimously decided that Somalia is willing to merge into the Williams Empire and accept the rule of His Majesty King Williams! ! ! "

The speech of the President of Somalia can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone and shocked the whole world! It is unbelievable that a country with a land area larger than the Williams Empire would willingly join the Williams Empire! ! !
