Chapter 728: Using Gold as a Weapon
Under the watchful eye of all the Englishmen, the spacecraft glided slowly for less than 100 meters and began to take off.
The two astronauts on TV are probably the most boring, only at the moment when the spacecraft takes off, they appear on TV for less than two seconds,
The picture was snatched up by the twelve GIs in the cargo hold.
The Mars spacecraft is different from ordinary spacecraft in that it does not need to go straight into space like a rocket because of its sufficient power.
Instead, it flies into the air like an airplane, and rushes into space at a very high speed under the surging power.
It only took more than ten minutes before and after, and the spacecraft arrived in the sky over the United States, and the soldier in charge of speaking heard the Sunday voice in the headphones.
Standing up and pointing to the special glass window, he smiled and faced the spherical detector suspended in the cargo compartment,
"We're over the United States right now, and I can see the Great Lakes clearly.
In 30 seconds, we will be able to see the Pacific Ocean, and then we will return to the Atlantic Ocean.
My team and I are on an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Simulate an airborne maneuver and an emergency landing of a spacecraft.
The purpose of this operation is to rehearse future accidents on the Moon and Mars by Mars spacecraft.
I would like to reiterate here that this exercise is not aimed at any party, so please do not over-interpret it."
I heard that the location of the exercise was on an uninhabited island a little more than 300 kilometers away from Laos.
Most of the people watching couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Only Lao Mei, who watched TV, hated the itchy teeth in her heart, and many people also scolded her.
But 300 kilometers away, it has long been out of the jurisdiction, and Lao Mei can only complain and protest a few times without itching.
And the spacecraft has been successfully tested, so it is strange that England will bow to the United States in this kind of thing.
In particular, William, after asking about Sunday, decided to use the Predator's one-man space landing capsule to transform the emergency landing capsule.
After landing on an uninhabited island, the Martian spacecraft will only need three minutes to recover. There was no risk of leaks, and William directly ordered the four GIs in the cargo hold,
The heavily armed combat backpack entered the landing capsule, projected directly out of space from the spacecraft, and landed on an uninhabited island.
Two minutes later, with four "bang, bang, bang", four single landing capsules smashed on an uninhabited island, kicking up a puff of dust.
The accompanying spherical detector has been broadcasting the expressions and physical conditions of the four GIs live.
When the dust dissipated and the hatch opened, the four GIs were just stunned for a moment, confirming that they were fine, and then waved excitedly to the live broadcast detector.
After saying a lot of things that felt and his body was completely normal, he watched the spacecraft that landed with him recover the landing module,
The four and eight other GIs who landed on the ground with the spacecraft fought a limited encounter maneuver.
This made all the English people proud, and some of those who thought more quickly understood that if it was a manned space in the landing capsule, it would be loaded with weapons, or even nuclear eggs.
In the future, it will only take fifteen minutes from the launch of the spacecraft to the space above the target, and a nuclear egg of the landing module type will be launched only the size of a single bed.
It took only 20 minutes to half an hour to destroy the target, and this kind of strike speed could not even be done by Lao Mei, let alone the possibility of being shot down.
After today, probably no one will bared their teeth and turned their faces at England.
However, although William intended to strengthen England's influence, he also did not want England to become troublesome.
Therefore, when the four-star general who had been following him was excited, William said as if warning,
"While I don't mind giving you limited access to the ship, the control will only be in my hands,
If someone wants to fan the flames around with the spaceship, or just hit my mind and take the spaceship,
I promise to make them understand that beheading, what revenge is, not just for one generation, but for generations,
Even if I wanted to, it would take only ten days for the spacecraft to make a round trip and transport fifty tons of gold from the moon.
If I can't warn those idiots, then when I build ten professional transport ships thirty meters long,
It is guaranteed that in less than a month, 1,500 tons of gold will appear in the hands of opponents in the capital world.
A year later, 18,000 tons of gold appeared in the Blue Star financial market.
The world's financial markets will be worthless as a result, and I will let all capital watch its value plummet or go bankrupt. ”
"This 、、、",
Many people who were thinking about the idea of fighting William were immediately stunned by William's description of using gold as a weapon.
Not to mention that ten spaceships are 18,000 tons a year, even if a spaceship is 1,800 tons of gold a year,
The price of gold, which has been slowly rising in the last year, will immediately plummet.
Although 1,800 tons is not much, it cannot be sustained that William can increase the supply once a year, or even ten times at any time.
Once gold is no longer scarce, confidence in the market has been severely damaged, and no one can sustain the price of gold.
When the price of gold plummets, so does the value of the currency.
Once the value of the large amount of gold reserves maintained by the United States is lost by more than half, the whole world will inevitably fall into a financial crisis again.
Some people are worried, and some people have bright eyes.
At first, some people wondered if this was another financial card in England's hand.
But along with this thought, the news of William's threat to everyone was spread.
Maybe they can make a windfall in the futures market from the collapse of gold prices?
As for what will happen in the future, these capitalists, who only have personal and immediate interests, can't do so much.
Otherwise, the world's officials will encourage and protect capital on the one hand, and prevent and suppress capital on the other.
In fact, there are too many capitals that only care about personal interests, and in the face of money, only a very small amount of capital cares about what happens to ordinary people's lives.
But William, who is also not a good person, will not stop these people from acting.
One also hopes that the price of gold will fluctuate, so that people can understand that he just said a few words casually, and has not yet taken action.
When the news reached the outside world, the market began to react, and the price of gold fell.
If this is really acted, will it be doubling the power, or even directly destroying the existing financial system, and putting the entire world of capital on the verge of bankruptcy, going back by hundreds or even hundreds of years?
On the other hand, as a member of the upper echelons of England, these people on the scene, whether they were officials or celebrities, were naturally William's allies.
Even if there may be some people who may have a competitive relationship with William, this kind of interest involves the interests of a whole group, and whoever stops it is the enemy.
William wouldn't do this kind of thing like an idiot.
Anyway, when it comes to suppressing gold prices, there is still a lot of room for things to turn around before he directly shouts at the outside world and takes action.
It should be a warning to those who want to fight his idea, as well as those who watch the show, and even allies who are related to their vital interests.
