Chapter 270: The Second Feast

readx;

"The current republics of the former Soviet Union are really poor and crazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ye Kai said to the second old man.

Due to the asymmetry of information in this era and the secrecy of financial operations, many things about the Soviet Union are not clear at home, and even the huge intelligence agency of the US government is still unable to accurately control the economic intelligence of the entire Soviet Union, but can only reasonably infer from some appearances.

Therefore, when the Soviet Union announced its disintegration, many people felt dazed and incredible, and did not understand why such a huge red empire collapsed overnight.

Where did the wealth created by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years go?

In fact, in the 80s, a series of political events that took place in the USSR at that time attracted the attention of international financial capital groups. The huge economic interests behind the political change aroused the strong interest of a tycoon named Vantaa, and a mass robbery of the Soviet ruble began to be put on the agenda, and the new Republican Financial Group, headquartered in Wisconsin, was born.

In order to keep its operations secretive and not to be noticed by the outside world, the registered capital of the New Republic Financial Group is pitifully small, only tens of thousands of dollars, and on the surface it looks like a fraudulent leather bag company. However, with the continuous injection of funds by international financial capital groups and US secret accounts abroad, the amount of money under Vantaa's control has been expanded by hundreds of millions of times.

After entering 1990, the economic and financial foreign exchange market of the Soviet Union was already in turmoil, and a major crisis could break out at any time. On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet financial edifice, Vantaa, with the help of American financial experts and admirers within the Soviet Union, sold 140 billion rubles borrowed on the black market at a price several times higher than the black market price, which at that time was as high as 28 rubles to 1 dollar, a staggering profit, because the 140 billion rubles were later devalued and worthless, which was equivalent to a profit of $5 billion made by the white wolf with empty gloves.

The profit of 5 billion US dollars in one transaction cannot but be said to be a legend in the history of international financial transactions. Vantaa's saga is not over yet, he used the $5 billion he made out of thin air, plus the high interest rate leverage on the black market (the high leverage is about 100~500 times. That is to say, Vantaa's $5 billion was magnified to $500 billion ~ $2.5 trillion), and began to unscrupulously short gold in the London gold exchange and the New York trading futures market in the United States.

At the beginning. The bulls of gold are still holding on. But under the pressure of a huge amount of money selling in Vantaa, the gold bulls completely collapsed. Vantaa has cumulatively shorted up to 2,000 tonnes of gold.

Entering 1991. The sky over the Soviet Union was already overpowered, and the financial market was even more noisy. Vantaa began to aggressively short gold, exacerbating the short-term economic situation of the Soviet Union, which relied on gold exports for a short period of time.

The collapse of gold prices on the international market finally sawed off the last pillar of the Soviet financial edifice, and the Soviet financial edifice soon collapsed with a bang to put the Soviet ruble in the grave.

Before and after the great changes that took place in the Soviet Union, international financial looters, with the help of American financial experts and the Soviet Union's superstitious belief in the advice of Western experts, frantically looted the unsuspecting state assets and wealth of the Soviet Union.

It feels a little strange that Russian President Boris Yeltsin's presidential decree needed to be written by the American economist Jeffrey Yeltsin, who called the "secret weapon of the White House". Saxophone modifications. The legal provisions of the Russian National Duma and the administrative regulations of the government require the approval of the American legal expert Jonathan Brown. The sea personally formulated another one known as one of Harvard's "double sa", Lawrence of the U.S. Treasury Department? Summers directly instructs the Minister of Finance of Russia on how to formulate Russia's fiscal and financial policy.

Russia is already terminally ill and its economy itself is already weakened, so will it have any chance of recovery under the careful care of a group of American economic experts, financial elites, and policy advisers?

In the winter of 1991, the Russian economy was close to paralysis, the country and the people had become extremely poor, and even Gorbachev, who had been awarded the "Peace Prize" by the West, had to leave early when he attended the West Asia peace seminar in Madrid in November 1991, because the Russian national peace delegation no longer had enough money to pay for the hotel room during the conference.

The artificially unleashed hyperinflation of international financial capital is like a howling hurricane, sweeping away the remaining wealth of the people of the former Soviet Union that can withstand the severe economic cold. In the aftermath of the hurricane of hyperinflation, the number of beggars continued to increase, the people of the former Soviet Union were displaced and homeless, and their life savings were destroyed in an instant, and people from all walks of life, from respected university professors and doctors who saved lives to military officers defending the homeland, began to peddle at low prices on the streets of the bitterly cold where they could sell goods that could be sold at home.

How powerful, how glorious, and how admirable the Soviet Union was!

Where did the huge national wealth accumulated by the people of the former Soviet Union for 70 years go? Was the Soviet economy "insolvent", or was it looted by various forces under a financial shady? The answer is undoubtedly the latter, as the vast fluctuations in the exchange rate have depleted the wealth accumulated in the former Soviet Union, which has been harvested by the ostensibly "friendly" looters under the cover of a huge financial shady.

"I started a little late, and I didn't catch up with this capital feast." When mentioning this, Ye Kai's face was full of regret, and he only hated that it didn't coincide with the event.

After all, he obtained the memory of posterity at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and he did not have enough funds to operate, how could he fight with the financial group represented by Vantaa in the financial market?

On the Forbes rich list, you simply won't find the names of financial capitalists who really rule the world under the cover of financial shady. The Western media has long been the eyes and ears of these people, and Vantaa is one of them.

Vantaa's real identity is that of an expert in financial speculation and trading, and a senior official who has worked for the US Treasury Department, the CIA, and the FBI. It was he who brought down Soviet finance, and at the same time made his own fortune. According to conservative estimates, Vantaa's personal wealth is in excess of a trillion dollars, which is much stronger than the world's richest man, who is worth tens of billions of dollars.

Thinking of these things, Ye Kai felt a little choked, this feast was missed, but there is still a chance to make a fortune, since the opportunity to make a fortune from the former Soviet Union is gone, then it is still possible to find some opportunities from the current CIS, so he first set his sights on the various military resources left by the Soviets.

"For us now, it is still very cost-effective to come back from the countries of the former Soviet Union to make some good things, although it is a small fight, but it is better than nothing, and there are some things that are very useful for the improvement of the quality of our own military products." Ye Kai said, "So, I paid to buy back the equipment, and the intelligence and technical data belonged to the military and us, how about this operation?" ”

"Did you choose a target?" The second old man is also very interested in this, although he doesn't know much about economic things, but when he heard Ye Kai say this, he felt that it seemed to be very powerful, plus Ye Kai's previous operation had always been very fierce, like a great white shark, so the second old man was still very confident in Ye Kai.

"On the one hand, on the one hand, they will get back their scrapped nuclear submarines, and on the other hand, they will do something about the aircraft carriers under construction and strive to buy them back as a whole." Ye Kai said.

"Sizzle......" When the second old man heard this, he suddenly gasped, "This is not an easy thing to do!" ”

"I don't have the heart to do easy things, do I? Anyway, I'm also at the deputy department level now, so I don't have time to pay attention to those little things. Ye Kai replied with a smile.

"Since you insist, then I will put your "Groundhog Project" on the record with the Military Commission, and if you encounter any trouble in the future, then this will be explained, well, it will be listed as the highest secret, and if you are not a member of the Central Political Bureau, you have no right to check it." After thinking about it, the second old man made up his mind, "When the time comes, I will set up a small organization in the Military Commission to cooperate with you." ”

"That's great!" Ye Kai was very satisfied with this.

The reason why Ye Kai chose to do it first was because of its high value.

Although the titanium alloy nuclear submarine has a unique advantage that is difficult to compare with other submarines, it is a pity that it has not been lucky and has never been able to become the main attack nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Navy, and after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, Russia stopped building this expensive nuclear submarine.

The reason for this is that the cost is too expensive. Titanium is an extremely precious metal on the earth, and the price of titanium alloy is very expensive, and even the United States only uses titanium alloy for the construction of spacecraft.

The former Soviet Union, as the largest producer of titanium alloys, not only stopped the export of titanium in order to build all-titanium alloy submarines, but also imported a large number of them, which made the price of titanium rise sharply.

The processing technology of titanium alloy is also very difficult, and it is difficult for ordinary shipyards to master, which involves the transformation of shipyard process facilities, adding equipment and training workers, etc., which are the reasons why titanium alloy submarines cannot be produced in large quantities.

Because of this, the United States has not used titanium alloy to build submarines.

In particular, after the crash of the US nuclear submarine "Longtail Turtle" in April 1963, which killed 129 people in the sea, the US Navy has always been apprehensive about the excessive pursuit of a large diving depth and has taken a relatively cautious attitude.

In fact, only a planned economic system like the former Soviet Union has the ability to build such all-titanium submarines at any cost.

During the Cold War, this kind of high-priced and high-performance nuclear submarine was reluctantly acceptable to the former Soviet Navy, but in the case of Russia's tight financial resources, it is naturally unaffordable, and the Russian Navy will not build such nuclear submarines again.

Ye Kai values the value of titanium alloy itself, and what the military needs is the technical resources of titanium alloy nuclear submarines themselves, and the two hit it off.

"Although it has not caught up with the capital feast of the former Soviet Union, this second feast of plundering military resources must not be missed." Ye Xingxing thought to himself. (To be continued)
