Chapter 903: Abandon it like a shoe
It is probably related to the fact that the telephone used by the Prime Minister of the British Empire is of top quality, or perhaps it is the reason why Sir Norman did not deliberately hide it.
Sir Norman's words just now reached Major's ears very clearly.
His face turned pale in an instant, and then turned red again, his hair was furious, he was angry, and his arm holding the microphone was trembling uncontrollably!
How can this be justified! Too much deception!
He felt that every word Norman had just said turned into a slap in the face, and the sound was crisp!
Obviously, in Norman's eyes, he has lost the dignity of a prime minister, even to the point of disdain and abandonment!
Didn't Norman save England, save the pound?
It can be said unceremoniously that he played ten times the role of Norman, and if it were not for his decision-making, as well as mediating, negotiating, and threatening with Germany and France, it would be Norman's turn to be a hero now!
Not to mention the price of Norman's hero, he is the one who pays for it!
The consequences of the reduction of the British Empire's foreign exchange reserves will ultimately be borne by him!
Moreover, Germany and France have already sent notes through diplomatic channels, saying that they can no longer bear it, that they feel that the power of the bears is too great, and the pound itself is seriously inflated, and they are unwilling to save the pound.
I can't bear the bullshit, but I don't want to carry it!
Counting these five billion dollars, Britain has already spent 30 billion dollars in order to save the pound exchange rate.
Germany and France spent only $3 billion, only one-tenth of that of Britain.
And you know, this is the common cost of more than a dozen member countries of the European exchange rate system, and it is only a few hundred million dollars when it is apportioned to one country.
Can't bear it?
And what is even more shameless is that the German side even said that they think that the exchange rate of 1 pound sterling to 2.5 German marks should be the real level of the pound sterling, and the previous 2.95 is obviously too high.
He was furious at the time, but eventually put the fire down, half-softly and half-hard to force Germany and France and other members of the European exchange rate system to continue to save the pound.
But he didn't know how long Germany and France could continue to support it, and how long they were willing to support it, so he wanted to call Norman and urge him to come up with an effective measure.
But who knows, but it will be such a result!
What he thinks about now is not just to oust Norman from the position of governor of the Bank of England, but to put Norman on the gallows and hang!
But no matter what Major thinks now, how resentful he is, the words of dismissal of Norman linger on his lips for how long, and they never come out.
No way, now the pound exchange rate needs Norman, England needs Norman, and he needs Norman.
If Norman, who has worked in the Bank of England for more than 40 years and has a high reputation, is deposed, not to mention whether he can find a suitable successor in the first place, the mutiny within the Bank of England alone will make him unable to eat and walk around.
Now the pound exchange rate is so fragile that it cannot afford anything, even the slightest loss, let alone such a major event as replacing the commander-in-chief who is in command.
Eventually, Major slammed the microphone against the wall!
I hope God willing, England will escape this catastrophe, or Norman will wait immediately, immediately retire, before he is not the prime minister, he must kill Norman first!
Or because the quality of the telephone was so good, the microphone fell to the ground again under the action of the rebound force of the wall, but after rolling off the luxurious Persian carpet a few times, it was safe and sound, and lay quietly on the ground with no damage to the fur.
As if he was making a silent mockery of Major.
Listening to the screeching sound on the other end of the phone and the busy sound that followed, the secretary subconsciously swallowed.
He didn't know if Britain would survive this trouble, but it was absolutely true that Sir Norman had offended Prime Minister Major miserably.
Saying that now, Prime Minister Major wants to hang Sir Norman, and he believes it.
After he reported the situation to Sir Norman, Sir Norman pursed his lips disdainfully, if he was afraid that Major would be angry and offended, he would not have said that just now.
Moreover, the most important thing now is the exchange rate of the pound sterling, and the British Empire, the people of England, and even his future depend on the rise and fall of the pound exchange rate, and its success or failure.
If the pound exchange rate fails, there is no need for Major to say, he himself will do his duty as a gentleman, bow down directly, and bear the responsibility arising from the fall of the pound exchange rate, but in this case, Major will probably not be long before he will follow in his footsteps.
And if he succeeds in saving the pound exchange rate, will Major dare to risk the world's condemnation to remove him, the hero of England?
It was impossible for Major to even have a celebration banquet for him and apply to Her Majesty the Queen for the Grand Cross.
So, Major's attitude and opinion of him doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all!
He had already settled on Major.
With the Bank of England's foreign exchange reserves falling by $5 billion again, and with the help of Mejaer's incorruptible tongue and coercion and inducement of Germany, France and other European countries to absorb the pound, the pound exchange rate was once again raised by 300 basis points, reaching about 2.7450.
But Sir Norman still frowned, clearly unhappy with the result.
Because this time, the $5 billion foreign exchange reserve has risen by almost 50 basis points less than the last time, which is a very bad sign.
This is not to show that there are many retail investors who hesitate and do not firmly follow him to go long, but to show that Germany, France and other European countries are not as strong as before.
Sighing lightly, Sir Norman felt a little helpless in his heart, it seems that there are still many retail investors who believe in the strength of the bears.
Of course, the most important thing is that the pound exchange rate itself is extremely inflated, otherwise it would never have been such a result.
The next battle is difficult to fight.
At the same time, a smile flashed at the corner of Soros's mouth, and he felt that the eyes of the goddess of victory were already fixed on him, and the balance of victory was tilting towards him.
He resolutely ordered another $8 billion out of the remaining 33 billion pounds shorts and smashed them into the foreign exchange market.
With the fall of the $8 billion bear, I saw that the chart of the pound exchange rate, which had just risen by 300 basis points, reversed sharply in an instant, and the decline was even more serious than the last time, directly hitting around 2.71, a drop of nearly 450 basis points.
Seeing this, Sir Norman bit his lip fiercely, and the red blood flowed directly down the tip of his teeth, like a small fountain, dyeing his lips red.
He doesn't know if the other party has increased its investment, or if more retail investors have invested in the arms of the bears, otherwise there will definitely be no such effect.
Either way, it's not good news for him.
"What should we do now, Sir Norman?, another five billion dollars?" asked the trader.
Sir Norman just wanted to say yes, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say it, and after a pause of five seconds, he said: "Don't invest, invest at the rate of 300 million US dollars per minute, as long as the pound exchange rate continues to rise, if the other party smashes into a large number of orders, it is not too late to use a large amount of foreign exchange reserves." ”
He is now eager to smash all the remaining foreign exchange reserves of more than $50 billion into the foreign exchange market.
But he really couldn't, and he didn't dare.
Of course, he can't be especially afraid of this, and the reason is not him, but Prime Minister Major,
With the attitude of Major on the phone just now, he was really afraid that if he did this again, if he spent five billion dollars every two or three points, Meijie, who was angry and overstressed, would directly stop his authority to use foreign exchange reserves.
He is not afraid of being removed from office or dismissed, but this is what he is most afraid of.
And he also has to test how many chips the other party has in his hands and how many pounds he holds.
If at this rate of investment, the pound exchange rate has indeed been raised, it means that the other party does not have many chips.
But if it's the other way around, it's bad, and it shows that the opponent's strength is far above England.
Moreover, didn't I say it before, the general trend and the hearts of retail investors are here, and it is far easier for him to pull the pound up by 10 basis points than it is easier for the other party to beat the pound down by 10 basis points.
Well, that's right, he plans to consume some of the chips in the hands of those financial predators, and after he is weak, he will settle the situation in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the pound exchange rate was not as straight up and down as before, like a roller coaster, rising and falling by three or four hundred basis points at every turn, but was slowly rising, Zhu Changhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There is no doubt that they have not much short in the pound in their hands, compared to the nearly 90 billion dollars they just started, after almost 20 full hours, they can only have 25 billion dollars, less than 30%.
If we follow this style of playing with seven or eight billion dollars at every turn, this amount of money can only support three times at most, and after three times, it will be completely powerless.
It's like a cheetah that runs out of energy and can only be slaughtered.
No, it should be an antelope.
Because at this time, the offense and defense are probably about to switch.
"Invest $400 million per minute to see if you can bring down the pound exchange rate!" Soros commanded calmly and steadily.
But who knows, after two minutes, the pound exchange rate on the chart suddenly almost does not move, as if it is sideways.
If it weren't for the fact that the pound exchange rate still fluctuated up and down by about two or three points, he really thought that the foreign exchange market had been blown up!
"It seems that the other party doesn't have much money!"
Tens of thousands of miles apart, one is rising in the sun, and the other is in the sky, but Norman and Soros actually said almost the same words.
And at the same time, the two of them were a little relieved, and it seemed that there was no big problem with their decision-making.
Although they did not achieve their desired goal, rising or falling, they did not completely go in the opposite direction.
This is good information in today's thrilling struggle.
Five minutes, ten minutes, and twenty minutes passed, and the time had inexorably gone to after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, less than an hour before the London foreign exchange market got off work at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The pound exchange rate has been hovering around 2.71 points, and at the same time, in the foreign exchange market, the pound's trading volume has dropped significantly, as if the huge pound exchange rate market has only two forces fighting to the death.
But seriously, it is true, although retail investors like to chase up and down, blind investment, blind confidence, especially do not know what is timely stop loss, and finally become a stubble of leeks that have been cut one after another.
But after all, there are still brains.
At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you know that the bulls and bears are now in a scorching battle, and they may decide the winner at any time.
If you make a mistake, you're done.
Therefore, they prefer to wait for the bulls and bears to really split the winner, and then follow in the footsteps of the winner and pick up the bargain behind.
At this time, the foreign exchange market, the pound exchange rate, is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money they invest, it has been swallowed up completely, and no waves can be stirred up at all.
At this time, it was also like the simplest and most monotonous moment of this big war, Soros and Norman did not say a word in unison since they gave the order twenty minutes ago, just stared at the foreign exchange chart.
Because they know in their hearts that this moment is the most dangerous place for this sniper operation, which directly determines success or failure.
There are no skills, no tricks, no psychological games, only absolute strength.
Now both Norman and Soros are gritting their teeth and persevering, they know that once they can't hold on, the overwhelming retail investors will instantly drown them, and they will die without a place to bury!
However, as time passed bit by bit, Soros's face gradually became solemn, and Zhu Changhong covered his mouth even more, not knowing whether he was afraid that his rapid breathing would disturb Soros, or that his heart would jump out of his mouth.
As things stand, it's about the latter.
Now there are less than $8 billion left in the pound shorts in their hands, but the other party still has no intention of giving up, swallowing all the pound shorts they have released.
It's a little too scary.
Now Zhu Changhong suddenly has some belief that Prime Minister Major really intends to spend the foreign exchange reserves accumulated by the whole of Britain over the years, and Germany and France really plan to go out to help Britain.
Otherwise, the chart would never be like this.
After all, the investment just now is 17 billion US dollars, even if it is exchanged for paper money and thrown into the lake, this level will have to rise a little, how can it be as calm as it is now.
"Invest five billion dollars to bring the pound exchange rate to around 2.68. Soros suddenly ordered.
Hearing this, almost everyone looked at Soros in unison, thinking that Mr. Soros was crazy because of excessive mental pressure!
They now have a total of only $8 billion in pound sterling shorts, and now they are directly playing out $5 billion, so can they still play the rest of it?
