Chapter 207 Egypt, Current State

With the worldwide financial industry collapse caused by America, the world's political landscape has changed.

Looking back at history, World War II and World War I, these wars with such a wide range of impacts can essentially be regarded as "conflicts of interest" that cannot be eased and a round of reshuffle is necessary.

The same is true today. A conflict has broken out between the mixed-race interest groups representing North America within America and the secret party centered on Europe. The uneven distribution of interests between the new and the old affects not only a small continent, but the entire earth.

The same is true in Egypt.

"This is Egypt." Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand to block the overly dazzling sunlight and couldn't help but complain: "Have we traveled through time and space?"

In modern society, Egypt, even if it doesn't have vast cities, at least has obvious products such as steel buildings.

However, the Egypt that appeared before Lu Mingfei was only a large number of ruins.

Yes, what appeared here were unfinished ruins. It seemed that something unknown had happened, causing the half-built building to be left alone on the loess.

"Following the guidance given by the principal, we have to determine the source of the elemental chaos." Caesar said, looking down at the Patek Philippe on his wrist.

"Let's go to the hotel first." Chu Zihang stated the next actions very directly.

Caesar and Lu Mingfei refuted, nodded, quickened their pace and walked on the street.

Soon, the trio saw the guide who had been waiting here for a long time.

Since the Gattuso family was not in charge, the guide was also a native Egyptian, and there was no transfer beauty to accompany the journey.

The guide was a middle-aged man with a tanned skin. He wore modern clothes and spoke standard English.

"Do you need me to lead the way?"

Caesar turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei and asked, "What do you think?"

"Let's stay in the hotel first." Lu Mingfei said casually, then looked around.

"It seems like it here." Lu Mingfei sighed as he walked.

There are not many slums in Egypt and Shilan City. People riding electric scooters and motorcycles are everywhere, and sometimes a few panicked people will appear on the street corners.

Coupled with the bustling atmosphere of life here and the noise that comes from time to time, it is basically no different from a village in the city.

"Brother, that's not the case."

A familiar voice sounded.

Lu Mingfei turned around and saw his good brother, the little devil Lu Mingze, standing on the roadside holding an umbrella and looking at him.

“Are you planning on selling again?”

Lu Mingze nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, you are a big customer."

“I’d rather not be a big customer.”

"Don't say that, brother. You have to know how many people want to make a deal with the devil but can't do it. What you are doing is something that even the emperor desires."

"Forget it, please go and trouble someone else. My weak arms and legs can't stand your torture."

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, don't refuse. Just listen to me first, okay?"

Can I say no?
Before Lu Mingfei could speak, Lu Mingze gave the answer: "No."

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"Here's the thing, brother. You guys plan to find the Dragon King in Egypt. I will definitely support you in every way, so I'm bringing you free intelligence as a monthly card member."

It's free, so you can listen to it.

Lu Mingfei did not realize that free was the worst trap. Of course, maybe it was because the little devil would speak whether you listened or not.

"Brother, Egypt's economy is going to collapse."

"Ha, are you kidding?" Lu Mingfei pointed at the people who were doing business here honestly.

If it really collapsed, why are there still so many people here?

"It's a very simple truth." Lu Mingze said with his hands behind his back, his tone full of inexplicable sarcasm.

"Brother, what do you think sustains the country? No." Lu Mingze shook his head, and then asked more bluntly. "What does Egypt's trade with foreign countries rely on?"

“The answer is the dollar.”

"Isn't this normal? Countries around the world trade in dollars."

Lu Mingfei said as a matter of course.

"Yes, it's normal, everything is like this, natural and obvious." Lu Mingze tilted his head and snapped his fingers.

Snapped

The next moment, Lu Mingfei found himself reaching high into space, looking down at the earth beneath his feet.

“The economics between countries is not simply about buying things with money. The so-called money is just a piece of paper after all. If there is no national credit to back it up, then the value of the money is entirely determined by personal ideas.

The international currency is the US dollar, for a very simple reason: everyone only recognizes the US dollar as the international transaction currency.

As for the reason, what is traded is the meaning represented on paper.”

As he spoke, Lu Mingze showed Lu Mingfei a picture.

American soldiers descended from the sky, aircraft carriers, frigate formations, thousands of fifth-generation fighter jets, and countless missiles were fired, crushing everything under the guns and cannons.

"This is the basis of the circulation of the US dollar. Do you understand?"

The reason why the US dollar has become the mainstream currency is because American soldiers can destroy your national defense, or in other words, military force can shut you up.

If you don't listen, I will replace you with an obedient political party.

Having an open mind and a broad mind...these are not just descriptions, but real realities.

This is why the U.S. dollar has become the mainstream currency in the world - America's international influence, financial hegemony, military power, etc., can make the whole family of anyone who dares to talk nonsense rise to heaven.

I can't convince you, but I can destroy you.

"Egypt's national currency can only be exchanged for the U.S. dollar, using the rules of the U.S. dollar system to obtain money and purchase materials from the international community."

"Now, with that loud bang in New York, do you know what happened?"

Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to answer, Lu Mingze gave the answer directly.

"The value of Egypt against the dollar has plummeted and has become a quagmire."

In fact, it is not just Egypt. Except for a very few countries, the so-called countries in the world are 100% dependent on the US dollar. Without the US dollar, the countries cannot survive.

This is a problem brought about by economic globalization, an inevitable law of the world pattern under the combined influence of a series of factors such as monetary guarantees, etc.

"This is how the world is." Lu Mingze said calmly as if it were a matter of course.

"Without dollars, Egypt cannot possibly function."

“But everything here is normal.” Lu Mingfei reviewed his memories. Although it was only a few hours, the situation in Egypt was not really a matter of life and death.

"So, brother, want a little free news? About the future of this country."

Looking at Lu Mingze's smiling face, Lu Mingfei knew exactly what he was going to do.

Tell you about the situation in this country, and then give you the next dragon-slaying mission you need to complete, forcing you to increase the stakes.

"I reject."

"I believe you will agree to the deal next time, brother."

Lu Mingze nodded and snapped his index finger.

Snapped.

Everything returned to normal, and the world in front of Lu Mingfei returned to the previous time again.

Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.

However, when Lu Mingfei looked at the dollar bill with a picture of Franklin on it in his hand, he wondered if it was a joke.
