Rügen is Germany's largest island, located in the Baltic Sea in northeastern Germany, with a long coastline and a variety of rich and magnificent coastal topography, especially famous for the famous and magnificent coastal cliffs of Northern Europe.

When a person stands on the top of a cliff and roars at the sky against the raging and raging ocean, what an exciting scene it is.

Yes, when the Russian Baltic Fleet appeared off the island of Rügen, it was so exciting.

When a fleet of six destroyers, 17 frigates, six landing ships, a number of minesweepers, missile boats, and conventional nuclear submarines crowded the narrow sea off Rügen, it was indeed difficult not to develop a sense of pride and ambition that "man will conquer the sky."

As far as the eye can see, nearly fifty warships of all sizes are dotted around, exuding the ruthless temperament of human war weapons. Such a scene could no longer appear at this moment in Germany, in England, in Italy, in France, in the Netherlands, in Spain, and in the whole of Europe, the opponents who could confront the Baltic Fleet were already very rare.

Especially when the twin 130mm naval guns of the Hyundai-class destroyers carry out expulsion fire on the civilian ships of nearby countries, it is even more terrifying.

With each shot of the 130mm naval gun, the splashed column of water was more than ten meters. Every deafening explosion made the crew and captains of civilian ships tremble. In decades of Cold War propaganda, the image of Russians is no different from that of a demon in hell. Under such subconscious influence, no one present could doubt that the Baltic Fleet had the courage to dare to drop shells on them.

Radio waves calling for help swept through all maritime call bands in an instant. What happened off the coast of Rügen spread almost at the speed of light throughout the world.

When the German defense minister confirmed the news and informed Kohl, the major news agencies had already released the press releases to the major media outlets. The news that the Russian fleet was holding exercises off the coast of Rügen Island and shelling civilian ships of Germany, Denmark and other Baltic coastal countries immediately caused an uproar around the world.

The Times, the New York Times, the Planet, the Asahi Shimbun, the Wall Street Journal, the Die Welt, and even Germany's own Bild newspaper probably knew what was going on off the coast of Rügen before Kohl.

With the exception of the printing press, which is working overtime to print extra newspapers, the television media is obviously running much faster. The BBC's correspondent in Copenhagen has found a fishing boat that is not afraid of death to go to sea, and CNN's correspondent is a little sluggish, but the correspondent in Hamburg is already running towards the shore. Bertelsmann even approached Russia's intelligence minister, Primakov, through connections, and simply clarified the situation from the source of the problem.

When the news of the confirmation of the situation came back one by one, the mainstream media of Blue Star was even a little at a loss. After shouting for forty years, the polar bear is coming, but the polar bear only turns around the door of the house twice, and the magnates of Western countries already feel a little weak.

In the past, the Soviet Union was still there, and everyone knew that if the two camps fought, it would definitely be a nuclear war, but as a result, the war could not be fought. But this time it was replaced by a broken settlement in Damao, anyway, they are all going to die, who knows if the Khitan people are in the mood to drag the whole world to be buried together?

Nima, do we continue to exaggerate the horror of Russian hair, or do we put some soft words to appease the hungry red-eyed polar bear?

Barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, in the past the USSR wore shoes with everyone. But with the big hair that will freeze people to death and starve to death, people are now barefoot, and there is no danger of nuclear war when they fight. But then again, Western Europe can't afford to fight a conventional war!

In the case of Iraq, Israel was also choked by scuds. The Jews of Tel Aviv are used to it, but the old men of Berlin, Paris, and London, if they die a single one, it will be a disaster! If Russia throws a cannon at it, I am afraid that the European economy will collapse in blood.

On this day, the old men of Western Europe finally remembered the humiliation of being frightened by the torrent of Soviet steel.

Since the merger of the two Germanys, Germany's economy has developed rapidly, on the one hand, it has inherited the economic growth driven by the East German market, and on the other hand, international tourists are optimistic about Germany's economic development and have entered Germany in large quantities.

It is precisely because of the large amount of international capital in hand that Kohl and the Germans dare to say no to Britain and watch the Soros Quantum Fund gallop across Europe. Because the Deutsche Mark itself is extremely strong, and the German Central Bank has ample foreign exchange reserves, there is no soil for a financial crisis in Germany.

But this is only relative, and modern finance is ultimately a contest of confidence and credibility between countries.

"Let Schmid come over at once and find someone to bring real-time exchange rate information on major European currencies to the TV in my office! Turn on the TV!"

Cole, a brilliant politician and economist, realized what was happening in a matter of moments.

Give the Russians a little daddy, they might dare to fire!But the Khitans ...... A group of traitors, if they provoke the old men in Western Europe again, they will really be alone, I am afraid that it will not be cooler faster.

But this can only be said behind closed doors, and Cole cannot convince international capital with this logic. Yeltsin was also a ruthless man, single-handedly ending the Russian president of the Soviet Union, who can guarantee that he would not do anything out of the ordinary. Even Cole is guaranteed that his qualifications are not enough.

Germany was on the front line of the Cold War, and the Baltic Fleet is now off the coast of Rügen. In short, Germany is now within the range of Russian missiles.

"How can you persuade international capital to stay?

On this issue, the first power in the universe probably has some say. Cao County's level is not even one percent of Russia's, but as long as Xin Pang throws a nuclear bomb, the won and the yen will roll down. Not to mention a nuclear bomb, if there is a big move in the north, the South Korean economy will have to stage a disaster movie.

In the end, there are still a few well-known domestic enterprises in South Korea, and international investors are even more afraid of it.

Something similar is happening in Germany today.

By the time Bundesbank President Schmidt rushed back to Kohl's office, news and data from all sides had already been gathered. As soon as the BBC reporter's fishing boat approached the exercise area, it was fired at by a minesweeper. In the distance, the Russian Baltic Fleet was full of murderous aura, swaying up and down in the distance of the live footage sent by satellite.

The reporter who risked his life to send back the picture stood in front of the camera, hoarse in the face of the wind and waves.

"The Russian Baltic Fleet has completely blocked the passage between the North and Baltic Seas, and all ships have been warned to expel them. The Russians are crazy, they are firing shells and bullets at civilian ships! This is an act of war! Russia must be punished!"

"Bastard!"

Cole slammed his fist on his desk, glaring at reporters with a more ferocious expression than at the Russian fleet.

"The Russians are just for the money, and they can get out of the way if they send a few hundred million. These people at the BBC are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

"Prime Minister, there is a problem with the exchange rate market!"

Schmid, the governor of the central bank, raised his head from the connected trading terminal and almost screamed: "Someone is shorting the mark, a large number of short and sell orders are traded, and if we don't interfere, our exchange rate will soon be untenable!"

Kohl turned his head, looked at the situation in the exchange rate market, and said in a deep voice: "Doesn't the central bank prepare a plan? It is necessary to ensure that the mark is strong, and there is no problem with the fundamentals of the German economy, and these speculators cannot shake the general trend of the market!"

"We can use the foreign exchange reserves of the central bank, and we can also raise bank discounts and raise bank interest rates...... At the same time, we can find the main short-selling force through some special means to persuade them not to attack the mark. ”

"Okay, let's do it. Cole breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Let the foreign exchange bureau enter the market now and immediately purchase the sell order." The Financial Supervisory Board was convened to approve a proposal to continue raising interest rates in the shortest possible time. ”

"And ...... Let the central bank's staff immediately find out who is shorting the mark. As long as the other party agrees to suspend shorting the mark, we can compensate it from other sources...... Guaranteed to make more money than they did by shorting the mark!"

Cole is not worried about a deficit in foreign exchange reserves or being taken advantage of by quantum funds in the financial markets. In the final analysis, it is just money, and will an economy like Germany be short of money? But the attack on the exchange rate of the mark is unacceptable to him, and the mark must remain strong, which is related to Germany's political position in the EU in the future.

With Kohl's order, the German state apparatus was quickly put into operation. In the exchange rate market, the battle between long and short is thrilling, and the Bundesbank, with its deep foreign exchange reserves, has temporarily maintained the exchange rate of the mark at a stable level.

However, the news from the Bundesbank and the intelligence services is not optimistic, the main funds involved in the short sale of the mark exceed 10 billion US dollars, and a large number of clues point to the Zurich Financial Services Group. At this time, the short money, which had already exceeded two billion marks, was still growing.

As for who is behind the Zurich Financial Services Group, this is a bit more complicated.

In any case, Mark does not seem to have repeated the mistakes of the pound and is vulnerable to international travel. The Bundesbank intervened, and the effect was extraordinary.

"It looks like we can try to get in touch with the Zurich Financial Services Group. Behind this fund, there must be the shadow of the British, these bastards who are causing trouble!"

Cole gritted his teeth and vowed to avenge this arrow sooner or later!
