Take the Red Police to Marvel

Borrowing money between countries is of course not just a casual sentence, and others will lend you money. Generally speaking, borrowing money can be done through international banks and signing agreements and bonds.

The amount of money that international banks can borrow is too little for Rhine to consider. What she considers is to borrow money from the United States or the Soviet Union, realize it by transferring some long-term interests, and issue national debt to domestic people and world capital.

Some of the long-term benefits of the former are not worth mentioning in front of mass projectors and space elevators. If you give up, you will give up. Anyway, you can get it back sooner or later.

In terms of national debt, relying on the credibility of the alliance and the state of economic development, you can basically receive as much as you send out, and there is no situation that you cannot borrow.

However, in order to avoid printing too much money and causing the income of residents to shrink sharply, Rhine is going to calculate the cost of the pre-fabrication project first before asking people to issue bonds.

The cost of the earth cannon is far less than that of the space elevator, and its engineering difficulty is also far lower than that of the space elevator. According to her estimate, the project can be completed at about 1000 billion euros.

The price is only one-tenth of the space elevator track, which can be described as very "cheap".

After confirming the cost, Rhine called Chairman Bazel, but uncharacteristically, he, who had always basically agreed with Rhine in any project and decision-making, refused.

"Commander, we can't create any more super-projects, especially such sensitive super-projects."

"Why? The mass projection gun can be built for only 1000 billion euros. It is estimated that the construction time will not exceed two years. After two years, we will be able to use the mass projection gun to deliver various goods to the synchronous orbit."

"Money is only one aspect of the problem, mainly the state of the United States and the Soviet Union."

Bazel sighed and said, "The United States is okay, because we are helping it build an oil trading system recently, so they treat us very well, and the Soviet Union is very troublesome."

Needless to say here, Rhine immediately realized what the current international situation was like.

Because the alliance secretly contacted the United States to let it take actions against the Soviet Union, the economic pressure on the Soviet Union has increased. Although the family is strong, the attitude of the United States has really angered the Soviet Union.

Especially in Africa, the Soviet Union's actions frequently encountered obstacles, which made all the large investments for so many years in vain. In addition, the huge threat of the European Union made the Soviet Union feel cruel.

Now that the arsenal of the Soviet Union is fully powered, it seems that it is going to be a big job. At this time, if the alliance builds a mass projector, a super cannon that can shoot from the surface to space, it will undoubtedly tell the Soviet Union that it has also done a good job. Prepare for confrontation.

At that time, if there is any more conflicts, this hard-won peace will be gone.

But even if the mass accelerator is not built, the alliance needs to be prepared for confrontation, otherwise the alliance will fall into a disadvantage in international public opinion, which is not good.

Is there any way to ensure safety without falling into a disadvantage in public opinion...

After thinking for a moment, Rhine already had the answer in her heart. She stared at the screen, readjusted the construction plan of the mass transmitter, and quickly browsed the information on the other half of the screen.

"Since this is the case, the construction of the earth-mass launcher will stop. As for the strength of the Soviet Union... the alliance's power projection range is mainly in Europe, but this does not mean that Asia will not have our influence."

"You mean let's fund Asian countries to counterbalance the Soviet Union."

"That's right." Rhine got up and opened the curtains to look at the moon outside and said, "Actually, we have been funding Asian countries to help them recover from the post-war economy, and now it's time to collect some interest."

The Soviet Union's mass production of weapons and equipment has undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of countries all over the world. To be honest, even the economy has recovered since World War II.

But everyone thought that World War III would come soon, but then the arrival of the Zerg forced countries to cooperate and weakened the atmosphere, and now the sense of urgency has returned.

In fact, the reason for the full operation of the Soviet arsenal is not incomprehensible. They are adjacent to the Alliance to the west, the United States to the east, Mongolia and China to the south, and the Arctic Ocean above.

Let's take a look at the relationship between these countries and the Soviet Union. First consider from the perspective of strength. The weakest are Mongolia and China in the south.

Because of Mongolia's vast land, sparse population and weak military strength, it is basically impossible to resist the footsteps of the Soviet Union, so it depends on China if it really wants to resist.

The relationship between Hua Guo and the Soviet Union is not good at this time. If you use the degree of favorability to describe it, it is the level of indifference below neutrality.

Since the construction of the China Railway Express was completed, the alliance established a modern industrial system for China earlier than the Soviet Union, and also provided a lot of scientific and technological assistance to allow it to gain a firm foothold in the Wuchang.

From this point of view, Huaguo is relatively close to the alliance, but the alliance is a country covered in capitalism after all, and it is not easy to get too close, so in the tacit understanding between the two parties, it has always been close to each other. state.

On the other hand, due to the continuous friction between China and the Soviet Union due to the excessively long border line, the relationship between the two sides has continued to deteriorate. The total number of troops on the border between the two sides is hundreds of thousands, and the situation is already very tense.

Looking at the United States in the east, the U.S. military base in Alaska can mobilize its fleet at any time to carry out maritime confrontation against the Soviet Union. The United States is enough to contain all the sea power of the Soviet Union.

Finally there is the Alliance to the west, whose true military power was only exposed a few years ago in the fight against the bugs.

At present, the scale of the confrontation with the Soviet Union has the upper hand, but the quality of the Soviet Union is far inferior to the Alliance. Not to mention the raid destroyers that can deflect shells, the smart cluster bombs dropped by the Century Bombers alone can pose a fatal threat to the so-called steel torrent.

Moreover, the alliance's navy and air force are also strong against the sky. Let alone the Soviet Union's advance on the European battlefield, it is considered a success if it is not pushed back.

Coupled with the economic targeting of the United States in various aspects and the intentional or unintentional stumbling of the alliance, the current international situation of the Soviet Union can be described as extremely poor.

Surrounded by strong external enemies, the internal economic downturn leads to unemployment.

If the Soviet Union did not have nuclear weapons, there would be no bones left that would have been eaten long ago, but even so, the Soviet Union would not be able to last long in this soft and hard state.

Economically, the Soviet Union could not compete with the Union and the United States, especially in terms of mineral resources. In fact, it is a buyer's market rather than a seller's market.

If others don't want to transfer to other countries, at most they will lose short-term production capacity, and the cost will be slightly higher in the future, but you will face the dilemma that your products will never be sold after accumulating resources.

The competition in the trade market is very fierce. Unless the products of the Soviet Union are irreplaceable, the market share lost after its withdrawal will be filled by other countries in minutes.

On the contrary, there are still many irreplaceable products sold by the alliance to the Soviet Union, such as chips.

This is also one of the reasons why the Alliance has been importing Soviet resources, in order to ease the Soviet Union's tension and have one more hand to check and balance the Soviet Union.

Now the Soviet Union has turned to a military-industrial economy. On the one hand, it wants to strengthen its military strength to deter those around it. On the other hand, it uses military industry to digest its domestic manufacturing vacancies, so as to avoid large-scale industrial workers being laid off and causing social unrest.

"Increase investment in Huaguo. By the way, warn Huaguo once again that the deep geological movement in the Tangshan area is abnormal, and let them take precautions. It is best to build earthquake controllers there. You can't just beat it a little bit to win over other aspects. Interests."

After hanging up the phone call with Bazel, Rhine let out a sigh of relief and looked at the high moon with other ideas in mind.

She will not build buildings on the earth that will cause public opinion of war, but the alliance will never stop in the development of outer space. Since it can't be done on the earth, let's do it on the moon.
