Yutanka's fiasco!
Mexican government forces suffered an unprecedented defeat in Utanka, after the Mexican government mobilized nearly 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Indian Revolutionary Forces occupying Utanka. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info8Ī1
The Mexican government army is well-equipped and has excellent personnel, on the other hand, the Indian Revolutionary Armed Forces did not even have their own weapons at the beginning of the army, and they do not have any heavy weapons until now, but the Mexican government army has everything from helicopter gunships to howitzers, and even warships cruising on the sea around Yutanka, ready to provide support.
Even the Mexican peso has risen for the first time after a continuous plunge of more than 5o, and it can be said that everything shows that the Mexican government army has an overwhelming advantage over the Indians. The Mexican president has vowed to the world's media that all journalists can spend the weekend in Utanka.
However, the end result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Mexican army, which had a huge advantage, ended up leaving 10,000 corpses on the beaches of Yutanka, and the Indians won the war with their stubborn will to fight.
It is expected that the credit of the Mexican government, which is already very low, will be completely bankrupt with the loss of this war, and the Mexican peso will also usher in a new round of collapse.
ā¦ā¦
This is the latest article by Associated Press reporter Monica, and with the publication of this article, it once again shocked the world, for which the world's major media have also expressed their opinions.
The British news agency Reuters was the first to react: Yutanka's defeat is simply unbelievable, and when our memory is still stuck in the muscles that the Mexican government has shown us, the Indians of Yutanka have already told us with the facts that it is fat at all! So can we think of the Mexican government's vows when it comes to the peso exchange rate?
Compared with Reuters, AFP is more direct: if the 100,000-strong army of the Mexican government army and his advanced weapons and equipment are the last fig leaf of the Mexican government, then the fiasco of Yutanka has obviously stripped off this last fig leaf;
With the Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse (AFP) setting the tone, the rest of the world's media outlets, despite their different reports, are remarkably unanimous in their core idea of the Mexican economy, and no matter what comments they make, they are very unoptimistic about the future of the Mexican peso.
If the credit of the Mexican peso was weakened, it is now bankrupt.
The Mexican peso plummeted in response to media coverage of the Mexican army's crushing defeat at Utanka, plummeting by more than 10 percent within two hours of the Associated Press news release. In other words, not only the previous efforts of the Mexican government, but also the peso exchange rate, which had finally risen back to some of its original formal, even fell lower.
To put it simply, if a Mexican had exchanged 600,000 pesos for $200,000 before the peso crashed, and now he has exchanged it back through the international market, he would have exchanged 1 million pesos for 1.6 million pesos, while if the pesos were exchanged for dollars, the current 600,000 pesos would have been exchanged for less than $80,000.
Such a sharp depreciation has greatly reduced the assets of many companies in Mexico, more companies are facing bankruptcy, and countless Mexicans are unemployed.
The Mexican government is undoubtedly the most troublesome person in the world, but there is actually another group of people who are more irritable, and that is the Maronite church.
You know, finance is just the reintegration of capital, it does not create any value itself, so no matter who earns money, it must be another person or a group of lost money.
The same is true of the peso crash this time, since Zhou Ming made a lot of money with Elisabeth and some French capitalists, then it is naturally the local enterprises in Mexico that bear the loss; unfortunately, almost all the enterprises in Mexico are controlled by the consortium within the Maronite Church, so that is to say, these losses are borne by the Maronite Church in the end.
No matter how rich people are, they don't want to lose money, so in the same way, no matter how rich people don't want to lose money, how can Zhou Ming not give the Maronite church a headache when he does such a big thing this time? Under this kind of headache, even Jefferson can't sit still anymore.
Just as the news of Yutanka's devastation came and the peso plummeted again, Jefferson was flying in a helicopter to a castle in the forests north of Mexico City.
The helicopter that Jefferson took this time was not a gunship, but just an ordinary private helicopter, because there lived the maroon priest there, who was the basis for everything he had now, and his Jefferson's father, Brando, so no matter how arrogant he was outside, at least for now, he had to put away his temperament.
Jefferson, who used to be arrogant in front of Zhou Ming in Harusburg, seemed very nervous at the moment, you must know that he was still on the helicopter, which shows how much pressure his father gave him.
After more than half an hour of flying, Jefferson finally arrived at the castle where his father lived, which was technically more like a huge church.
First of all, the castle had a huge dome structure, and in the center of the roof stood a huge crucifixion, which was very eye-catching, and on this cross, every inch of Jesus' expression and every muscle outline was carved to life. Even from a distance, Jesus could see clearly that the expression on Jesus' face was painful, but his eyes were sad and painful, indicating that he was not suffering physically, but suffering for all people in the world.
This expression alone can make many believers bow and worship, God knows how many stone carving masters were used by the Maroon Church to carry such a sculpture, and how many manpower and material resources were used to carry such a sculpture here.
Jefferson's helicopter landed on the tarmac behind the castle, and since this was the residence of the Maronite pastor, the apron was built to be large enough to park thirty helicopters at the same time, but when he arrived at the moment, the apron was left with the last spot.
Seeing this situation, Jefferson subconsciously shrank his neck: Damn!
As Brando's illegitimate son, Jefferson knew the castle's position very clearly, and even he was not allowed to use the tarmac without permission, but now there are no vacant seats here, which shows the significance of today.
Jefferson got out of the helicopter with trepidation, and led by the castle servant to the side hall of the castle, which was a meeting room, where Jefferson did not see Brando, but was told to let him wait here, and Brando Randolph would naturally come after he finished his business, but for this illegitimate child, the servant didn't even tell him what Grandpastor was doing, and Jefferson didn't dare to ask.
In this way, Jefferson waited in this side hall for nearly an hour before finally seeing Brando.
Brando had a very similar appearance to Jefferson, but he looked more mature and steady, and wrinkles could be seen in the corners of his eyes, and he walked slowly in a black monk's robe, with a pure white veil on his head and a scepter in his hand.
Jefferson stood up as soon as the door opened, and when Brando came in, he immediately walked over in three or two steps and took the initiative to support him, calling out to his father, and his attitude was so respectful that he couldn't be more respectful.
Brando didn't say anything about Jefferson's attitude, just walked slowly, as if Jefferson didn't exist, and finally sat down on a chair in the center of the room. Jefferson, who had completed the task of supporting, stood in front of Brando, bowing his head respectfully.
Brando still didn't speak or look at Jefferson, he first asked his butler to bring a cup of tea, he took a sip, and then looked up and said, "My child, I'm old, it's not suitable to keep my head up, can you sit down?"
Brando's words were soft, but Jefferson's listening made him even more nervous, and he didn't dare to have any disobedience, so he had to thank him and sit down in front of Brando.
Jefferson sat down, and Brando took his teacup and said to him, "You know? This is tea from the East, and three hundred years ago, it was a good product that only those who were closest to God were entitled to, and he came from a place called Huaxia, my child, do you understand why I came to you?"
It was just a simple question, but when Jefferson heard it, the hairs on his whole body stood on end, and a cold sweat oozed from his back.
"Forgive me for my stupidity, my Great Shepherd. Jefferson said his teeth were chattering, and although he was Brando's illegitimate son, he was not allowed to call his father.
Brando's expression was neither sad nor happy: "Then let me give you a little more hint, just four hours ago, there was a war between the Mexican government army and the Indians in Yutanka, and the Mexican government army lost, and it is said that a person who should not have appeared on the battlefield played the most important role in this war, and this person is from China." ā
Brando paused deliberately after speaking, and seeing that Jefferson didn't seem to have any intention of saying it, he continued: "His name is Zhou Ming, and it is said that he came to Mexico because of another revenge, and his target is my Maroon Church......"
This time Brando's words were not finished, Jefferson knelt down with a puff, and cried to him: "My Great Mu, I was wrong, Zhou Ming came to Mexico because of me, but I really didn't expect him to have such energy and be able to do such a thing, please forgive me, I promise to send someone to kill him!"
Brando waved his hand and said, "Then there is no need, your actions on the airport road are already very telling, and most importantly, it is no longer suitable for this." And you and my child, please keep your demeanor, your demeanor is too embarrassing now!"
After this reprimand, Jefferson immediately stood up like a spring on his body, but his face was still dazed, obviously still did not understand what Brando meant, so Brando had to continue: "To put it simply, we need to negotiate with him now, and you are one of the negotiators." ā
