After 911, the skies cleared in the United States for a few days. There wasn't a single plane, and the whole world was impressed. On the other hand, the U.S. financial markets were closed for several days, and not a single U.S. stock could be sold. At first, there was no market in New York, there was no market, and then there was no market.

The markets of other Western countries have also stopped trading US stocks, and no one dares to come out and make a bank.

To be a banker, the investment banks in the United States do it themselves.

No one is the banker, and the financial assets and wealth that are vigorous and capable of self-freezing are frozen, and the bourgeoisie of the United States and the whole world know that this is the most serious thing.

After the suspension of the market for four days, all the financial wealth of the United States was frozen coldly and hard, and the stocks of other industrial countries also fell in an uproar, but unlike the United States, they did not close their doors, and their financial wealth was not frozen quickly.

The biggest characteristic of financial wealth is that it must flow, and the faster it flows, the better, and the more boiling it is, the better. If a financial asset has a bad history of being frozen. It's not that fun.

"The so-called non-performing assets are all derived from good assets. Financial experts in the United States are investigating how high and high other people's non-performing assets are all day long, and they do not expect that tens of trillions of good assets in the United States may also be inexplicably frozen into non-performing assets in one day. Fan Wuxian said to Jiang Luo, "The blue sky and white clouds are still the same, the enemy planes are no longer coming, the sky of the United States cannot be cleared for a long time, the stock market of the United States cannot be left open, and if the financial wealth is frozen for too long, it will not only be that the United States stocks and bonds are worthless, but the consequences of the chain reaction are unimaginable." ”

Jiang Luo only knows a little about financial matters, and he listens to Fan Wuxian give him a make-up lesson, and he also listens to it with relish, after all, Fan Wuxi, a master-level financial master, gives him a make-up lesson, which is very simple, and the examples given are also very detailed and easy to understand, and you can understand what is going on when you listen to it.

If U.S. stocks continue to be sold for a long time, they can't be sold, and hundreds of millions of dollars of property can't be turned into cash, just like people in the desert, and it's useless to own many, many U.S. stocks, and it's better to have a poor person with a bottle of water next to you. If the market continues to close its doors, not only stocks and bonds will become waste paper, but the dollar will inevitably become a pile of waste paper.

During the stock market freeze, the huge international and domestic dollar payment machines were fortunately still circulating. The plane hit the building, but I didn't expect the building to collapse. The building collapsed, and I didn't expect that the financial wealth would be frozen and that it might be further turned into a pile of waste paper and unredeemable numbers.

The consequences of the suspension of the market are very serious. Who bears the blame?

The chairman of the exchange did not dare to assume this responsibility, and neither did George W. Bush. Therefore, there are only a few enemy planes that have discovered terrorism, and no new ones have appeared, so it is better to quickly restore the liberalization of the skies and open the market to thaw.

In fact, the suspension of the market for four days is a bit of an overpanic. There will definitely be some American financial experts who believe that one or two days is enough, not four days, and many good assets may be frozen because the quick-freezing time is too fast and too long, at least the reputation is frozen, which could have been avoided.

Inevitably, people all over the world, including ordinary people, see this weakness of the United States.

The financial system is not just the soft underbelly of the United States, it is the hind root of Achilles in a deeper sense.

"There was a demigod in ancient Greek mythology, and his name was Achilles. When Achilles was born, his mother lifted him upside down. As soon as you dip in the holy water of the River Styx, you will be invulnerable. However, his mother was so dense that her son was immersed in holy water, and only his heel was exposed to the water, but he was not immersed in the holy water. When Achilles grew up, he was a god of war, extremely brave, and won many battles, but the final outcome can be imagined, and the secret of his heel was revealed. "The Greek descendants of Achilles have not been able to answer this question until today, why did his mother leak this secret?" Who did she inadvertently leak the secret to? Who is the second person to know this secret besides his mom? Modern scholars of ancient Greece have speculated that this person was probably also a member of the Greek immortal society, and was definitely not an Arab, because in Greek mythology, Arabs were just playing tricks. The United States was beaten, his heels were bandaged, and he was no longer paralyzed, but the fact that he was born with two heels that had not been soaked in holy water is indisputable, an open secret, and there will never be a way to heal and keep it secret. ”

Jiang Luo said thoughtfully, "Therefore, the Americans are in a hurry now, and it is impossible to fight a war without letting go of their hands and feet." ”

In fact, the Americans were already starting to deploy troops, and two days later, news came from the Pakistani side that the United States was threatening them. Pakistan was asked to cooperate on the issue of counterterrorism, and the Americans said that if Pakistan refused to cooperate, then the US Air Force would use bombs to return Pakistan to the Stone Age.

"Let's fight, anyway, Afghanistan is a quagmire, and once the Americans fall into it, they will never be able to get out." Fan Wuxian is very open to this.

Anyway, he knew that this matter was definitely going to happen, and Fan's Investment Group was also fully prepared and had enough time to deal with the consequences caused by this incident, and now Fan Wuxian was very calm in his heart.

But there is some good news, after many days of waiting, the Barents Sea finally came to the good news, mixed with the filming team, finally got the skin material of the Kursk nuclear submarine in the chaos, and at this time has returned to China safely.

The above still attaches great importance to this matter, because there is still a relatively large gap between domestic nuclear submarine technology and the international level.

The US Naval Intelligence Agency has pointed out in a report that China's nuclear submarine technology is still very backward, and the noise level of submarines built in recent years is not as good as that of the Delta-3 class submarines built by the former Soviet Union 30 years ago. The U.S. Navy was able to pick up the noise of Chinese submarines on the island of Guam, thousands of kilometers from China.

The latest Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarines of the U.S. military are seventy times quieter than the Los Angeles-class attack submarines in service. Some analysts believe that the Seawolf-class submarine cruises at a speed of 25 knots per hour, and the noise produced is also less than that of the Los Angeles-class when docked in port.

Because of the large technological gap, the United States still does not regard the rapid increase in the combat strength of China's submarines as a major threat, and for the United States, the gap between China's nuclear-powered submarines is particularly large.

This is an embarrassing state of affairs. But to close this gap, it is obviously not something that can be done overnight, so this time the sinking of the Kursk, and Fan Wuxian obtained the broadcast rights, it was a good opportunity that the military was looking forward to, and now they have finally succeeded.

When mentioning this incident, Fan Wuxian remembered one thing, once, the British Avant-garde ballistic missile nuclear submarine collided with the French nuclear submarine Triumph in the Atlantic. At that time, both submarines were underwater, carrying out their respective tasks, and they carried nuclear missiles on board.

In general. Ships can use sonar to detect other ships that are close to their own. However, perhaps the anti-sonar technology on the submarines of both sides is so high-end that neither sonar device can detect the other.

Hearing such news, Fan Wuxian couldn't help but be shocked by the technological superiority of Britain and France in nuclear submarines.

The two types of submarines are equipped with extremely advanced sonars, and it is said that the enemy submariners will be listened to when they fart, but they did not avoid the collision. What does this mean? It can only show that the avant-garde and triumphant silent technology has reached a supreme level.

In the past, there were always people who boasted that the Kilo-class was an oceanic black hole, but it was surprising to see the collision between the avant-garde and the triumphant dash.

On another occasion, the US Navy's attack nuclear submarine USS San Francisco ran into a serious reef accident on the seabed more than 500 kilometers from Guam while en route to the port of Brisbane, Australia, killing one person and injuring 24 others.

At that time, the San Francisco slammed head-on into the submarine mountain at a speed of thirty knots, and the impact was so violent that one sailor flew up and crashed into a pillar and died, and twenty-four others were seriously injured. However, the sturdiness of the American submarine was astounding when the boat was able to surface and return to base under its own power under such a violent impact, and then it was completely repaired.

For such a submarine, it is estimated that the anti-submarine torpedo will be like scratching the itch in the boots.

Fan Wuxi also felt very puzzled, if the domestic submarine met Triumph and avant-garde and collided at a speed of 30 knots, what would be the result?

Fan Wuxian has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and he has not come up with an answer that can reassure him, all in all, the gap between China and Britain, France and the United States in nuclear submarine technology is quite large, this does not mean that some people can be reassured by standing up and declaring.

As the ultimate combat force of nuclear strategic deterrence of major powers hidden deep in the sea, the importance of nuclear submarines is self-evident, so although the Kursk also has problems of one kind or another, it seems that the military, which is anxious to find some reference materials that can be used as references, can obtain some skin materials on the Kursk, which is also very useful.

However, in Fan's view, learning from it will help, but it is far less important than self-developed technology. After all, it is very difficult for the imitation technology to complete a transcendence, and it is easier to find another way or solve the problem.

There are no pop-ups
