Although Gaul and Britain are two of the five major leaders of Blue Star, they are usually jokingly referred to as the lower five.

The main reason for this was that something went wrong when Gaul and Britain jointly used the veto power for the first time.

In order to regain the glory of their empires after World War II, these two established empires prepared to intervene in Egypt to regain control of that place's fate.

The proposals put forward by Big Beautiful and Big Bear were all rejected by them with one vote.

Then, oh wow, Big Beauty and Big Bear joined forces, and they directly deceived the two old empires who had dreamed of returning to glory.

The original plan was ended in a hasty manner. Not only was the dream lost, but the future was also lost.

Since then, it has been in decline, and the veto power is usually used in conjunction with the big beauty.

but……

Even if the Wuchang is lame, it is still the Wuchang!

Still at the top of Blue Star!

Perhaps everyone's eyes will be focused on the top players, and they also like to compare their own country with all the strongest points of major countries around the world.

But it is undeniable that the old empires also have their own heritage.

Take Gaul as an example. The reason why they were able to gain the seat they are today is not because they surrendered quickly enough during World War II. A big reason is Gaul's huge influence in Africa.

And this influence has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and is much stronger than many people imagine.

Mainly concentrated in thirty-one French-speaking countries in northwest Africa.

The blackening of Gaul is so serious now, which is actually a kind of backlash to a certain extent.

Although these thirty-one countries have been formally established long ago, most of them are still using the CFA franc even after Gaul itself has used the euro and abolished the franc for so long.

In the past, Gaul was not mentioned at all, and the coinage rights were still in the hands of Gaul. All countries using the CFA franc had to hand over 65% of their foreign exchange reserves.

Well, the "preferential conditions" for handing over 65% were a compromise made by a campaigner who wanted to abolish the CFA franc after he was assassinated in front of the beautiful representative office. Before that, he had to hand over 100%.

To a certain extent, Gaul has already used the American method of harvesting the world with the American sword in Africa in an even more ugly way, obtaining abundant resources at a very low cost.

A Gaulish speaker once said that 60% of every franc was brought to Gaul from Africa.

In order to stabilize this back garden, and as the leftists came to power, some immigration restrictions were relaxed in the 1970s, which led to the bitter consequences today.

But it is undeniable that the effect of their move was extremely significant, instantly stabilizing the originally dangerous back garden, and a large number of spiritual Gauls and compradors successfully took over and completed remote control in disguise.

At least, before those who lived through that era lost power, Gaul's status in Africa was almost as stable as Mount Tai.

Over the past half century, Gaul has intervened 20 times militarily in Africa. It was because Cadzuo had shaken the foundation of Gaul that he took the lead in attacking.

But most of the time, Gaul is hidden under the halo of great beauty.

This is actually the reason why Gaul sometimes has the confidence to refute the beauty.

When the big beauty is using Gaul, she is not as convenient as other losers, and she will beat him from time to time.

Airbus and Alstom, which were snatched away by Big Beauty back then, are both from Gaul, and one of the four major grain merchants is also from Gaul.

In recent years, the back gardens of Gaul have become unstable because of a rabbit scurrying over in Africa to demonstrate what contrast is.

We are also becoming more and more sensitive to the situation in Africa.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo happens to be an important piece of the puzzle within the Gallic sphere of influence!

As a result, now, not only someone has entered the back garden, but also a real ‘magic’ resource has appeared here!

Naturally, Gaul would not be given the slightest chance of giving up.

After learning the news through multiple channels, and even the beautiful lady kept a low profile when speaking, Gao Lu directly made the official statement.

"Umbrella secretly mines minerals in other sovereign countries without permission. What does Umbrella want to do?!"

It can be said that recently, all parties are paying attention to the products of Umbrella's last press conference.

While waiting for the release of the new phone and the launch of the 'Tracker' electric car, Gaul suddenly said such official words, which still confused all parties.

Damn it!

The beautiful girl now pays attention to her words when talking to Umbrella. Is Gaul so brave?

This caught many people whose impression of Gaul was that 'no one could capture Paris before Gaul surrendered', feeling a little off guard.

The contrast is really too great.

Beautiful and fierce, that's how he has always been, just like no one would expect a street kid to suddenly be so polite.

"Currently, according to our intelligence, Umbrella is illegally staying and mining minerals in the Congo Basin rainforest. We are telling Umbrella not to do whatever he wants just because he has advanced technology and force..."

Gao Lu's eloquent words gradually made the people who were suddenly shocked by the news slowly understand what happened.

Umbrella mining minerals inside Congo?

Or illegal mining?

Not so!

Umbrella is indeed obsessed with minerals, and his large-scale purchases have single-handedly raised global mineral prices.

There are many minerals acquired by Umbrella, and reserves such as lithium are inherently limited. It can be said that the global bulk ore business has increased overall, and some of the increases have been exaggerated.

In particular, the price of silver has skyrocketed, and it has been listed as a strategic material by many countries, soaring higher and higher!

but!

Umbrella has always liked to use the money-spending method even for kangaroos that have been defeated, so that others are willing to sell them!

Their force is more like a way to protect the property they bought from being robbed.

At least for now, everyone, including Big Beauty's allies, feels that Umbrella's force is much safer than Big Beauty.

They are very strong and have skills, but they won't suddenly come up with unfounded excuses to mess with you just because you have a lot of resources. Sometimes they even don't even bother to find excuses.

This time, even if Gao Lu spoke, many people did not believe it.

I am more interested in what agreement Umbrella has negotiated with the Congolese side.

"Is Gaul angry because his back garden was cut off?"

"Why does Umbrella mine illegally? Just use money to knock Congo unconscious and dig at will, and the locals are cooperating."

"Why don't I believe it? But Gaul is really brave."

"..."

However, regardless of the discussions among many people, Umbrella's positive official reply still caused a lot of surprise, because Umbrella did not deny everything, but just pointed out some issues.

"First of all, we found that place because people who were tracking the mysterious organization found it. Before we arrived, the people from the mysterious organization had been there for a long time.

"Secondly, it is true that we are occupying and managing the land now, but we are not 'mining' it yet. Generally speaking, we still prefer to use money to solve problems."

It was a very calm response, but someone keenly noticed the difference!

‘Escrow’ ‘usually’!

The meaning of this wording can be seen as almost unabashed.

When necessary, they will be 'unusual'!

Chapter 446: Brewing

"Magic! It must have something to do with magic!"

"Yes, Umbrella now controls the largest silver mine in the world, and has also purchased a lot of other mineral resources during this period. There is no shortage at all. Is there anything worth doing this to them? It can only be related to magic power.

!”

"Yes, is there anything that has a greater impact on magic power than silver?"

"Umbrella felt that she was on a collision course with that mysterious organization, and she directly pursued them until they discovered important resources."

"It's so domineering, but I like it."

"..."

It can be said that both Gaul's uncharacteristically tough attitude and Umbrella's response have attracted a lot of people.

Yes, Gaul is not as capable of wandering around the world as the Great Beauty, and surprise attacks are not such a big deterrent to them.

But no matter what, your family also has a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, right? Are you afraid that others will miss you?

This only shows that the interests involved this time are large enough!

This is true for both parties.

The incident happened in Africa. This time, the beautiful lady acted as if she were watching a show. She only expressed her support for Gaul and expressed her agreement with their views, but there was nothing else to say.

Taxes have been increased. Are you not afraid of Umbrella's counter-sanctions last time?

Besides, if after Gaul is occupied, he, as an ally, wants to come over to study together, he won't, um, can't object, right?

Of course it would be nice to have a punch!

Was Umbrella's previous attitude and reverse sanctions so outrageous?

Of course I'm angry!
