Chapter 192: Great Huaxia's First Bloodbath on Wall Street
Bayard and Niu Quyun negotiated for seven days on the abandoned freighter, and finally the two sides finally reached a treaty, which was basically formed according to the framework proposed by Hu Zhen, which was extremely beneficial to the Huaxia Guild.
The Treaty of San Francisco between the Huaxia Guild and the United States of America (because it was a treaty signed on a broken cargo ship, it was later derivefully called the "Treaty of the Rotten Ship"), which stipulates the rights and obligations between the Huaxia Guild and the United States people:
1. The United States apologized to the Kingdom of Hawaii for the killing and wounding of Hawaiian citizens by the Mi Army in the Kingdom of Hawaii and paid compensation of 200,000 pounds.
2. The United States shall compensate the Huaxia Army for the losses incurred by the Chinese Army in counterattacking the reckless actions of the Chinese Army in the military expenses of two million pounds;
3. The Mi Army withdrew from Hawaii and no longer interfered in Hawaii's affairs, and the Mi country recognized Hawaii and the Pacific islands under its control as voluntarily incorporated into the Huaxia Guild;
Fourth, the United States shall not discriminate against the Chinese people, the Chinese people enjoy normal treatment in the United States, and the Government of the United States apologizes to the Chinese people who have been damaged in the anti-Chinese movement, and compensates 1 million meters, and agrees to assist the Chinese people who do not want to stay in the United States to leave the port of the United States smoothly;
5. The two sides shall conduct fair trade, and the rice country agrees that the planting and industrial products in the area controlled by the Huaxia Association will enjoy the most-favored-nation treatment, and enter the rice market with the lowest tariffs, and the products of the rice country will also enjoy the most-favored-nation status within the territory of the Huaxia Association;
6. The government of the United States shall assist the Chinese Association to purchase machinery and equipment products worth at least 8 million pounds from the enterprises of the United States at the normal market price in the United States.
After the treaty was given to Hu Zhen to read, he laughed and waved his pen, even though he signed and ratified the treaty.
Of course, many people will not be satisfied with this treaty, but Hu Zhen knows that this is already the best result, because this rice country is already the world's largest industrial output value, although its naval and army strength is not as good as England's, but if it is completely annoyed, the entire United States will invest all its industrial capacity in arms production regardless of it. There is really no country in the world that is an opponent.
Moreover, in the early days of the rise of the Huaxia Association, there was still a great need for the huge market of the United States, such as the rubber tire products monopolized by Nanyang Antai Company in the world. If Antai's products cannot enter the rice market, when the automobile industry rises rapidly, it will inevitably seek alternative products from other regions, and Antai's dream of monopolizing the world market may be aborted.
Moreover. The industrial production capacity of the United States is strong, the product quality is still very good, and the Huaxia Association is in urgent need of a large number of machinery and equipment during the large-scale construction in Nanyang.
Finally, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, Hu Zhen plans to borrow 8 million pounds equivalent to 40 million rice yuan from the bank controlled by England to buy industrial equipment products in the United States, and give the English people a little superficial sweet benefits, in exchange for the English people agreeing to the control of the Huaxia Guild over Hawaii, at least so that the English people will not jump out and openly oppose it, so as to find a combination of interests between the Huaxia Guild and the English Guild again. The two sides were once again tied together through interests, so that the Huaxia Guild would not be hindered by the English in the initial stage of its rise.
After the treaty was signed, there were not so many institutional entanglements on the Huaxia Guild's side, and after Hu Zhen signed and approved it with a wave of his pen, the matter was given like this, but what kind of separation of powers was the system in the United States, but in addition to the president's signature, it also had to be approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the procedures were very troublesome.
In order to let the people of the United States ratify the treaty as soon as possible, Hu Zhen arranged for Niu Quyun to notify Thomas Francis Bayard in advance. Before the Chinese army formally ratified the treaty, the Chinese army should use the seashore on the west coast of the United States as a training ground for the fleet, and the fleet opened fire and bombarded every day, which made the people of the United States tremble.
Hu Zhen also ordered the old cruiser Dahlgren, which had captured the Mi Army, to be pulled outside the port of San Francisco. In full view of the people of the United States, they used it as a target ship, using guns of various calibers on battleships and cruisers to aim and bombard, and finally blew it into pieces and sank it under the seabed.
The marines of the Huaxia Army also forcibly landed in a remote and uninhabited place in the United States. Shoot and fire on the soil of the United States.
When have the people of the United States been attacked like this?
As soon as the Huaxia Army marines landed, they drove away several police units and the National Guard, occupied several villages and towns, and demonstrated to the mainland of the country.
At the same time, Hu Zhen also urgently telegraphed Zhang Suan, who was stationed in Europe, to mobilize the two major groups of Frodo and Olang, who had already made a good capital layout in the United States before the Hawaii incident, to start working, first releasing the short news all over the sky, and at the same time violently selling important domestic stocks in the United States, and making every effort to short the United States market.
All the attention of the US government was focused on the Hawaii incident, and it was unprepared for a surprise attack on the stock market, and it was caught off guard by a blow to the head, and the stock market plummeted, and the Dow Jones index, which was created in 1888, became a digital machine that jumped off a building like crazy.
The strength of the United States is first of all the economic strength, and the economic strength is reflected in the rise and fall of the stock market.
At this moment, the stock market of the United States is surging wildly, and everyone wants to cash out and withdraw from the stock market, and the more this is the case, the more the stock market plummets.
The bonds of the US government have always been known for their good reputation, and they are important investment objects in the world in later generations, but they have also plummeted in this trend, and the market is full of rumors that the US government is about to go bankrupt, and many people are even willing to sell the bonds in their hands at less than half the original price.
In just a few days, the two major enterprise groups of Frodo and Oulang, in accordance with Hu Zhen's instructions, used the financial warfare methods of later generations, sent thousands of traders to use thousands of vest accounts, and swept away more than 400 million rice dollars, equivalent to more than 80 million pounds, in the stock and bond markets of the United States through various legal means, and this result was not lower than the capture of Hawaii by Hu Zhen's army.
Many Mi people have lost their fortunes in this trend, and Wall Street in New York has become a jumping street, and almost every minute someone commits suicide and jumps from the roof.
This was the first massacre of Wall Street planned by Hu Zhen, known as "the first bloody sweep of Wall Street in Greater China".
The stock plummeted, making the economic predators of the United States unable to sit still.
The lobbyists and writers hired by the Frodo and O'Lang cliques secretly took advantage of the opportunity to publish articles in the media and make a big splash of public opinion on social occasions to lure the big businessmen who have business dealings with the United States of America, indicating that if the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Congress do not ratify in a timely manner the "San Francisco Treaty between the Chinese Guild and the United States of America," which is still favorable to the United States, the stock market will plummet, and even the stock will become a piece of waste paper worthless, and the economy of the United States will suffer an unprecedented heavy blow.
