Chapter 1413: Uncomfortable
Guo Shucheng scolded angrily: "Madamn, these Western bastard countries are simply going to completely strangle our China." If they encircle and block our country like this, even if their troops do not land in China in the end, and even if their artillery shells and missiles do not hit our territory, our country will suffer heavy losses, and military spending will inevitably increase rapidly.
Surrounded by them, China will have no international trade and no technological exchanges. Without the transportation of raw materials and the sale of products, how can China's economy develop? Where does the money we put into the army and infrastructure come from?
The hard-won achievements since the reform and opening up will not be burned to the ground, right? Now that the common people have finally become richer, the country has finally had a little savings, and science and technology have finally made a little progress, I am afraid that we will have to go back to the past. ......, God bless, don't ...... We must bless our country from civil strife, and we must not have careerists to cooperate with the gringos to carry out any coup d'état and start a war. If this kind of thing really happens, even if all those troublemakers are broken into pieces, it will be difficult to exchange the huge losses they have caused to the country and the nation. ”
Not only Guo Zhuocheng has this worry, but the central boss also has this worry. Although the state has not issued a general mobilization order for war because of this, and although it still claims to focus on economic construction, the relevant departments have still made a lot of preparations, and are still quietly stockpiling strategic materials, strengthening the construction of public security, increasing the allocation of police and security personnel, and giving them more powers, so as to provide a great deterrent to those who are ready to move.
Garrison troops in various localities have also been ordered to be ready to strike a thunderous blow at those who are ready to split the country, split the nation, or prepare to stage riots. The army must ensure that the rebellion is nipped in the bud.
When leaders are anxious. Businesses are starting to feel uncomfortable, too. Because of the strict trade embargo imposed by Western countries. Many enterprises, especially export-oriented enterprises, have suffered great losses, their products have been backlogged, the capital chain has been broken, and the employees of the enterprises have not been able to receive wages. Many farmers have a backlog of agricultural products for export that cannot be exchanged for money to buy other commodities.
Because of the embargo, Chinese companies are unable to obtain all kinds of urgently needed raw materials and minerals abroad. Scientific research institutions are unable to carry out relevant technical exchanges with foreign counterparts, and many international cooperation projects have been forced to be suspended......
As a result, the state's fiscal revenue has been greatly reduced. The National Bureau of Statistics optimistically predicts that if such embargoes and layoffs in Western countries continue to exist, China's GDP growth rate will suddenly drop from more than 10 percent per year to less than 1 percent. There is even a possibility of negative growth. Even if China continues to bury its head in economic development, even if there is no foreign invasion, as long as the embargo and sanctions are saved, it will be difficult for China's economy to improve, and the economic transformation will waste and use too many fiscal reserves.
The Western media are much more pessimistic, believing that China's economy, which has been integrated with the world economy, and that a sudden rupture is bound to cause a collapse. Of course, the world economy will not reap the benefits, and will regress because of the setback of the Chinese economy.
Some people are puzzled. In the media, it was questioned why Western countries had adopted such a lose-lose approach. Many peace-loving people are even more indignant, and they have called on Western countries to abandon this inhumane and erroneous policy that has forced China to a dead end. We call on all countries in the world to put aside their prejudices, treat each other frankly, and take advantage of the rare opportunity for peace after the collapse of the Soviet Union to achieve world harmony, and not let the world be clouded with the haze of war again.
……
It can be said that the person who has lost the most and is the most angry in the world at this moment is Guo Zhuocheng!
Because of the severe economic sanctions adopted by the West, many domestic and foreign enterprises controlled by Guo Humble Shing have suffered huge blows. The Phoenix Machinery, Tianhua Group, Online Game Group Company, Huawei Communication Group Company, and other enterprises controlled by him have been banned from entering Western countries because of their obvious Chinese-funded components, and their goods and services have been banned from entering Western countries.
Fortunately, Guo Zhuocheng remembered from time to time the encirclement and economic sanctions imposed by Western countries on China in his previous life, so he consciously changed the identity of the shareholders of the IIC company and the honest investment bank to the Night Pearl Island, or hung on Princess Madeleine and others, so as to avoid the impact. He even set up an agent of China's Xinghuo Computer Agency Company and the Warwick Communication Group Company in the United States, and thus escaped the catastrophe; although he could not act as an agent for Chinese-made goods for the time being, he could continue to do business and continue to act as an agent for the products of the American companies in which Guo Zhuocheng had invested in the capacity of others, and he could still make profits.
Although China's oil fields in Iraq cannot transport crude oil and crude oil products to China, they can be sold directly in Iraq for a profit.
However, Guo Zhuocheng still suffered a huge loss, especially the Maple Leaf Film Company was completely closed by the United States, and the movie theaters and distribution channels it owned were divided by other companies. Although Guo arranged for lawyers to sue the U.S. government, it did little to no avail, except that instead of confiscating their movie theaters, they were auctioned off at a low price and then froze the funds in exchange.
He has acquired or invested in several large enterprises in Australia, Brazil and other large resource countries, but also because of the embargo can not transport mineral resources into the country, although he has long taken measures to hide the identity of the controlling party, but still has to face the cruel reality:
On the one hand, the stockpiles of those mining companies are full of mountains of various ores, and the price of world ores is falling day by day in the face of a declining world economy, and profits are decreasing day by day. On the one hand, many Chinese companies are waiting to be fed, running around to obtain various ores.
In order to obtain enough iron ore for the steel base, some people have repeatedly asked the state why the country is mining the huge iron ore on the Sino-Indian border, no matter how difficult it is to mine the iron ore in the middle of nowhere, how huge the amount of money is needed to mine the iron ore in the middle of now, and no matter how much political trouble it will cause if it is mined now.
In the face of this situation, Guo Zhuocheng swore again and again in his heart: The insults suffered today must be increased tenfold to the Yankees in the future, and the losses suffered today will be taken back from the Yankees a hundredfold.
With the passage of time, with the embargo imposed by Western countries on China, China's economy has become more and more difficult, because corporate products cannot be sold, the living standards of ordinary people have dropped significantly, some people have begun to waver, and many people have complained.
In this regard, Guo Zhuocheng is as anxious as other central leaders, and even exceeds the anxiety of the central bosses.
The reborn Guo Zhuocheng knew that China had also gone through such a difficult period in his previous life, and the West had also imposed large-scale embargoes and sanctions, and China's GDP growth had also slowed down significantly, and the lives of ordinary people had also suffered Waterloo.
However, at that time, the Western encirclement did not last long, and it was still less aggressive, and the United States did not carry out military mobilization, nor did it deploy a large part of its armed forces around China. The current situation is far more severe than the previous one, and Western armies are so concentrated in Japan, the Philippines, and the Pacific that they could enter China at any moment. No matter how calm China is, it will bury itself in economic construction and ignore them, but it is impossible not to prepare for the worst-case scenario in private, not to prepare for war, and not to quietly concentrate financial and material resources.
If you don't prepare at all, if you don't fortify the enemy, you're either a capitulator or a fool, and if you don't prepare for war and bury your head in construction, it's like a pig who only knows how to eat feed, and after helping others fatten themselves, let them slaughter them, so that they can get a few more catties of meat. In this way, the loss of China's economy is much greater than the loss in previous lives.
Although the economic foundation of this life is good, and science and technology are more developed than in the previous life, the corresponding process of opening up the country is greater, and the higher the dependence of many enterprises on foreign countries, the greater the losses to China due to the embargo and control of the West, especially the return of the land has increased the urgency of economic improvement, and the ordinary people who have just returned to the motherland are nervously paying attention to the changes in the situation and silently comparing the changes in life during this period in their hearts.
As the saying goes, "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift", these wanderers who returned from abroad lived a hard life in the former Soviet Union and the former Outer Mongolia, and can even be described as miserable, after returning to the motherland, the days have undergone earth-shaking changes, the food and clothing are warm, and there is a thriving appearance everywhere, which makes them feel very relieved and proud, especially compared with those countries that separated from the former Soviet Union, the political situation is now turbulent, there are hooligans and bandits everywhere, and the people are hungry and have no life guarantee, They are very happy, glad that they have become a member of the Chinese, and that they live in the big family of China.
However, the current situation has left them very confused, very worried, they are worried that China will become the same as the former Soviet Union, that China's economy will collapse, that they will live the same life as those outside the border. Some people who have lost their leadership because of their return are even more impatient, and they begin to contact each other privately, and begin to secretly mumble about whether they are independent or whether they are breaking away.
Of course, these people are a small group and cannot make a big disturbance, but their existence will further make people panic and shake the confidence of everyone to unite against the West at a certain time.
However, in the face of the current situation, Guo Zhuocheng feels helpless: no matter how rich and powerful a person is, he cannot compete with several Western countries. The only way is to wait for the time to pass, and it depends on who can't stand it in the end.
After all, the West has a lot to lose by playing this kind of self-harming encirclement.
