Chapter 1460

Due to the reversal of the four seasons, in Australia in midsummer, Christmas inevitably lacks a bit of the special atmosphere in the northern hemisphere, which is probably the kind. In cold winter, people will feel more warm because of this gathering.

If you squeeze too close in summer, you will cover prickly heat.

Simon happens to be the kind of person who doesn't feel much about the festival. It doesn't matter.

Arriving in Australia for nearly a month, I thought it was a complete vacation to put everything down. In fact, it was impossible. Since we intend to build Australia into the base of the Westeros family, and even some of the most extreme places of refuge, we have a lot to do.

Even if the Westeros now have a large enough team to use, Simon has to do a lot of things himself.

Therefore, since arriving in Australia at the beginning of this month, Simon has been on all kinds of horses.

First of all, I came to Melbourne. While staying in Johnston's big house to contact my family's feelings, there were all kinds of meetings and entertainment for more than a week, involving political, economic, cultural, military and other fields.

Or a cognition that Simon realized very early.

Just as the capitals of many countries are often political, economic and cultural centers, if you can control a country's politics, economy and culture, you basically control the country.

As for military affairs, it should be regarded as an extension of politics.

And, frankly, Simon was not able to penetrate the most sensitive military field before 1994.

Of course it's different now.

Not to mention Australia, even in North America, Simon has continued to settle in the military field and achieved good results.

Of course, it's still far from Simon's goal.

Simon's ultimate goal is to achieve at least a part of the army that can obtain the decisive factor. It is obviously subordinate to the national level and is actually controlled by the Westeros system.

For ordinary people, this goal seems out of reach, but it is not difficult in practice.

Stripping away all kinds of complicated and dense rules in modern society and trying to control the gun stem are only two things after all.

The first is people.

After all, the army is commanded by people. Therefore, as long as we put our own people in the right position, we can control an army to a great extent.

For example, at some extreme moments, some people issue orders to fight against the Westeros, and the force commander who receives the orders happens to be his own person, so the results will not be implemented, but can also fight back.

The second is money.

It is the eternal truth to be a soldier and eat food.

Therefore, in modern society, as long as we can hold the money bag of an army, we also control the army to a great extent.

For example, the infiltration of the Westeros system into the U.S. military is combined with the first thing. When the commander of an army is his own person of the Westeros system, through the influence of the Westeros system in U.S. politics, tilt the super money bag of the national defense budget to the army in his own hands as much as possible.

On the contrary, for those troops that cannot successfully penetrate, tighten and tighten again, or even completely abolish them.

Gradually, it is still a result of one change and another.

Moreover, this is the background of the normal operation of the United States.

In other words, as long as the United States is still in normal operation, the assumption of the first condition is very unlikely to happen.

However, under the same assumption, in some extreme cases, the collapse of national order is probably a turbulent era in which careerists showed their powers after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. The Westeros system, which has mastered great wealth, does not even need to indirectly control the army through national rules.

With money and food in hand, they have infiltrated the military system sufficiently in advance, that is to say, some people, in this case, turn the national army into a private armed force, just in the blink of an eye.

This is not even a hypothesis.

Simon has carried out a successful practice in Ukraine. If the Westeros system needs, the armed forces that can be pulled up in Ukraine are definitely not just the two private forces in the open, but tens of thousands of armed forces in the whole military region of western Ukraine. Because Simon not only controls the "people" of the military region in western Ukraine, but also has more "money" than the Kiev authorities.

As for the legitimacy of legal principles, which is very crucial to many people, it is easier to manipulate people's hearts. Otherwise, for thousands of years, there would not be so many people who changed their flags and rose up to rebel.

In addition, in Australia, the operation at all levels is easier because of the small volume.

Otherwise, later Australia would not be so easy to become a pawn.

Many people don't understand why the Australian authorities are determined to do all kinds of things that harm others and do not benefit themselves regardless of national interests and the interests of the people?

Because the authorities do not need to worry about the overall interests, as long as the personal interests are met.

Similarly, Ukraine.

If you want to control Ukraine, you only need to control the people at the top of the Ukrainian pyramid. As for the 40 million or 50 million at the bottom, who cares?

Well, I still have to care.

After all, the free Ukrainian people can still vote to decide who will climb to the top of the pyramid, so as to obtain the interests of the West on their behalf and accept the control of the West. Although they can choose ABCD, maybe it is just a piece pushed out by some people in advance. In the end, no matter who it is, it makes little difference.

The world is so absurd.

After watching the world coldly, Simon felt that a person has always been a world of the jungle in his bones. In fact, he has only two choices: either try to seize more resources and make himself a meat eater, or he can only eat grass.

Everything else is empty.

Zoom in, the country is actually the same, either eating meat or grass.

And you have to understand.

A very, very important point is: where does the meat come from?!

I think it's too cruel to kill and compete. I just want to measure on my one-third of an mu of land. I hope that one day meat can grow in the farmland. As a result, I can only eat grass.

And wait to be eaten.

After all, only sheep eat grass, while wolves eat sheep.

This is a digression.

Simon's careful operation of Australia, of course, is not to let a group of fools jump out as pawns one day, but to build a neutral place like Switzerland. In the future, even if the most serious nuclear war breaks out, Australia can stay out as far as possible.

After entertaining in Melbourne for more than a week, Simon and Anthony flew to Western Australia.

Ninety percent of the proven iron ore in mainland Australia is in Western Australia. Moreover, the private army of the Westeros family in Australia is also stationed near Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Simon needs to pay enough attention personally.

During the three-day trip to Western Australia, the investment in various fields involving exploration, mining, railways, ports and other aspects totaled more than US $3 billion.

It seems that some people spend money recklessly. Of course, Simon knows that when these infrastructure projects are completed, the time will be after 2000.

With China's entry into WTO and rapid economic growth, the global annual demand for iron ore will also increase significantly. Just to mention one, in 1998, the total global steel output was only 770 million tons. In more than a decade, only China's steel output will exceed this figure, which naturally means a huge demand for iron ore.

In a word, in the field of iron ore, Westeros system is now carrying out a counter cyclical layout.

Moreover, this counter cycle is not the kind of counter cycle in South Korea's semiconductor industry.

Based on Simon's accurate prediction of the global steel industry, the current counter cyclical layout is equivalent to digging a deep moat in advance.

For example, in the Western Australian mining area, such as railways and ports, the investment of infrastructure construction has the final say that whoever can carry goods on these railways, who can turn around in the relevant ports and even the relevant pricing power, is the system of vistle. As for other capitals, they feel that these railway ports are not easy to use, or that the price is too high. No problem. Can you repair one yourself?

The Australian territory controlled by westero system, even if you have money and can let you repair it, I lose!

Even outside Australia, it is easier to occupy the pit in advance.

Therefore, unlike semiconductors, Korean manufacturers beat other manufacturers through anti cycle and price war. However, as long as the country is determined to support relevant industries, Korean manufacturers still cannot achieve long-term monopoly advantages.

Of course, Simon also knows that Australia's iron ore industry is unlikely to gain permanent advantages.

Simon doesn't expect this either. He just wants Westeros to cut the biggest piece of cake during the bull period of the steel industry in the next two decades.

In other words, Simon now completely regards the Westeros system as a country, so of course his own interests first. Without interests, there will be no sufficient wealth resources, so there will be no other layout.

After leaving Western Australia and returning to Melbourne briefly, Simon took his family to Tasmania across the sea.

Simon's gradual encroachment on Tasmania's land has never stopped.

Up to now, with 68000 square kilometers of land in Tasmania, Westeros system has eaten 46000 square kilometers, equivalent to more than 11 million acres, accounting for 67% of the total area of Tasmania.

67%, a coincidence number.

Because the company law of some countries stipulates that if a company wants to pass some resolutions, it needs not 51% voting rights, but 67% voting rights of an absolute majority. Therefore, owning 67% of the shares of a company is regarded as completely and absolutely unswervingly controlling a company.

Now Simon owns 67% of Tasmania's absolute majority land, and to some extent, he fully owns the island.

In other words, in addition to the huge capital investment, it is also the result of the continuous penetration of Westeros system into Australia. After all, some land can not be sold by local governments if Simon wants to buy it, which even involves the revision of relevant land laws and regulations.

All kinds of obstacles to the annexation of Tasmanian land in recent years have been solved one by one by the Westeros system.

The other is the original residents on the land.

Westlow system provided very rich conditions for the relocation of most residents scattered in the gathering points of villages, communities and towns in Tasmania. Then, the land of villages and towns and even the surrounding farms were taken over by Simon in this process.

Of course, there are also those who are unwilling to move.

After all, there is no shortage of nail households all over the world.

I have lived here for generations. Why should I move away?

In this regard, the team of the Westeros family can't tell what the real aborigines living here for generations in Tasmania have long been completely extinct. Compared with mainland Australia, there are really no aborigines in Tasmania. After all, Australia didn't launch a national referendum until 1967 to decide whether Australian Aborigines were "people" or "animals", Australian Aborigines, as "animals", are treated like "animals". If they kill all of them, they will be killed.

Simon only wants land, and he doesn't intend to engage in real estate on these land. Therefore, a few people don't want to move, so they keep it.

Then remove all the others.

Water, electricity and gas. Sorry, there are too few users to make ends meet. However, this is a personalized world. I'll give you a bill and continue if you can pay. If you can't, you can only regret.

A lawsuit?

Over the years, under the operation of huge funds, the governor of Tasmania is the spokesman of the Westeros family, and most of the Tasmanian parliament is also the spokesman of the Westeros family. Then it infiltrates downward, and the whole Tasmanian authorities, up and down, are basically controlled by the Westeros system.

Can I let you win a lawsuit?

Think too much.

Mobilize public opinion?

Sorry, the Westeros system has been continuously merged and integrated over the years, and the Internet, television and paper media are in full bloom. Their strength is stronger than that of the original local snake News Corporation, which makes you confused public opinion.

Of course, Westeros system is still very humanized.

A small number of nail households can't stand the primitive life for a period of time. They want to move out under the same conditions as before.

If the price starts from the floor, there is no need to talk about it.

Let's continue to be primitive.

After all, it is built as the foundation of the foundation. Simon's annexation of the land of Tasmania can not be too fierce after all. Moreover, another important thing westrow system has done in Tasmania in recent years is to buy people's hearts.

If there is no one on a completely deserted island, it won't work either.

The entire Tasmania has a population of about 500000. At first glance, it seems quite large. In fact, the population of the land equivalent to that of a province in China is only 1% of that of China, so it also works well. With the current strength of Westeros system, it is not a problem to raise these 500000 people without asking for anything.

Simon certainly doesn't raise people in vain.

Sheng mien fights Mi Qiu.

If you raise it in vain, you will only be asked for more.

However, Simon is also absolutely generous. In recent years, he has donated and built a large number of schools, hospitals and other facilities in Tasmania. At the same time, he has also tried his best to support local enterprises in Tasmania. The overall policy is that the closer you are to the Westeros system, the more obedient you are, the more benefits you can get. On the contrary, of course, there is nothing.

After this operation, the results can also be imagined.
