Chapter 1408: The Next Goal

There is a financial turmoil in the United States, which must be resolved, President Wilson has not closed his eyes for two consecutive days, and he was busy dealing with things in New York before, but after the rumors and run on the wind appeared, he no longer had the heart to put it on this, how to get through this difficulty, this is not his job alone, even if in this matter, he did not have any mistakes, at that time, he treated China, treated Chinese Americans, he obviously stood in the perspective of opponents, but unfortunately these are useless, do not solve the current problem, If American industry is not allowed to re-emerge, he will be the president.

Wilson is a scholar president, whether he can continue to be this president, he doesn't care much, but if the United States is bound to lose, and even have to pay a lot of price, when the result is written on the pillar of shame, Wilson is of course impossible to accept, he is as anxious as possible with experts in all aspects, organized a public relations meeting, but this meeting has lasted for a day and a night, they have no way to find the answer, although they have also made some contingency plans, But there was a contingency plan that was so bold as to completely destroy Wall Street and add it to the disaster.

The plates of the financial industry in the United States are already quite huge, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of plates, many of which are virtual and value-added, and now they are suddenly back to their original shape, even worse than the prototype, it is certain that there will be huge losses, even including the credit of banks, 300 banks, maybe half of them are saved, which represents the great reshuffle of the financial industry, and also represents the wealth of countless families, which has come to naught.

The United States is very financially developed, banks are everywhere, bankers have always been the darlings of the high world, but unfortunately most of the banks, there are not many fixed assets, and even their liquid assets are invested, this financial storm throughout the United States, just like a hurricane, swept across the United States, foreign banks that set up banks in the United States, also because of the financial turmoil in the United States, there has been a heavy blow, the impact is far away, almost rare in the world, and even because of money, many families have all their deposits destroyed in one fell swoop, Not only the loss of data, but also the bankruptcy of banks and many other aspects, the impact is far-reaching.

In the end, the U.S. government barely got a bailout plan, first of all, it had to get money, and in the middle, the U.S. government had no money, and the huge deficit formed during the war had not yet been repaid, although there was a little spare money, but it was not enough to save the market.

The U.S. government has no choice, in the course of the previous war, several major consortia that have reaped huge benefits, they must come up with money, at this time, these consortia in the United States, also saw that something was wrong, and stood up one after another, generously, even in this Wall Street, the Morgan family, which suffered heavy losses, also reluctantly took out 200 million US dollars, plus some other small and medium-sized consortia, they took out a total of 4.7 billion US dollars.

Although they have suffered heavy losses, they also know that this sum of money has a huge effect on the current financial situation in the United States, but correspondingly, the effect is not as big as imagined, on Wall Street, the United States has lost a total of 500 tons of gold, this huge wealth that has attracted worldwide attention, if it is not taken out, there will be financial turmoil in the United States, and even a greater financial turmoil.

Money is easy to do, but gold is such a thing, not money can make up for it, who will bury a large amount of gold in their own homes, maybe only Chinese will be like this, Chinese habits of saving and storing gold and silver currency, really not a good thing.

It is different for Americans, the United States is a commercial society, money is taken out, it is to be spent, only by spending enough money, can you earn more money, in this case, even if the United States is a consortium, will not store a large amount of cash, let alone gold, most of it is investment and fixed assets, under the premise that the banks are hit hard, their ability to mobilize funds is weakening.

Because of this, the financial turmoil in the United States is intensifying, although it has been suppressed with the help of several major conglomerates, but the crisis is still there, but the outbreak is slightly delayed, if the gold problem cannot be solved, the financial order of the United States will still collapse.

In this way, under the joint efforts of the United States and the Central Powers, the influence of the attack on New York is still expanding, and this result is beyond everyone's expectations, in the eyes of Germany, they did not attack the United States, the reason is too dangerous on the one hand, and the battleships that are easy to accumulate cannot be wasted because of ground attacks, but it is clear that this sudden attack, especially the attack on the financial sector, has absolutely far-reaching impact on a country, if they had thought of it a long time ago, Before the war begins, when the United States is about to enter the war, it may be more effective to carry out an attack.

The Americans and the Germans will not know that this is just the beginning, the attack of the Chinese fleet on the United States in 1916, known as the originator of asymmetric strikes, is not in the struggle for the gains and losses of a city and a place, bypassing the front, to the rear, to attack the weak places, at a considerable level, to strike at the opponent's, in order to achieve the victory of the final decisive battle, this is the essence of asymmetric strikes, and China, but grasped this, and is constantly increasing, although this tactic to seamlessly access to the beginning of the 20th century, it is somewhat difficult, But it's not entirely impossible.

The problem of the United States, eight days after the attack, ushered in a turning point, the United States with the support of the consortium, stabilized the financial situation, the United States turmoil gradually decreased, which made the United States see hope, suppressed the hope of the financial crisis, of course, the problem of gold, it is impossible for the United States to solve it by itself, the United States can not solve it, he can only invest in funds, no way, he found the United Kingdom.

Relative to the United States, Britain is one of the countries with the largest gold reserves, in the past history, as one of the world's most important powers, Britain has stored a lot of wealth, and even known as the Boer War of World War I that weakened Britain, it was fought for gold, although Britain spent huge sacrifices, and even invested huge military spending, but the huge amount of gold made up for the British investment, until now, the gold of the entire South Africa is also in the hands of the British, which is the largest gold mining area in the world, The annual production occupies a large share of the world.

The turmoil in the United States, of course, Britain knows that among the Entente countries, Britain, France and Russia are no longer able to defeat Germany, and they must help the United States.

Britain reluctantly used part of its reserves, 100 tons of gold, and part of the transaction was given to the United States, which will stabilize the financial market in the United States to a greater extent, although it can't make up for the consumption, because between 100 tons and 500 tons, the difference between the numbers is too big, but it finally makes the United States breathe a sigh of relief.

Since it has helped the United States, Britain is of course a good thing to do in the end, and Britain has used London as a guarantee for its own credit, and with the strong support of some large conglomerates, including the Rothfield consortium, it has mobilized a part of gold and wealth, which can be regarded as making up for half of the consumption, as for the other half, the United States has stabilized the instant market, and forcibly recovered the gold of the people by means of liquidation, and the gold stored by the people in the United States is at least more than 200 tonsIn the end, after 3 months, nearly 400 tons of gold were used as the base reserves, at the cost of a 30% depreciation of the dollar, which was considered to have survived this difficulty.

Because of the depreciation of the dollar, the people who have been exploited have also been compensated, and the United States cannot forcibly suppress it at this moment as before, and such suppression will not only not do any good to the result, but will cause a storm.

For the United States, to stabilize the current financial situation, so that the people can rest assured, continue to invest in industrial production, what is lost will eventually be able to be replenished, the United States to support the entire Entente materials, clean up the Chinese power, the industry is simply in short supply, although this pain, will hit for a period of time, but with the support of funds and gold, like a shot in the arm, directly injected into the key parts of the United States, a little loss is acceptable.

Those consortia gritted their teeth and gave support to the US government, and the people put a yard on the US government under the propaganda of public opinion, thanks to the time of war, when the material was rationed, it was slightly tilted towards some people, and it was easy to control the direction of public opinion.

Everything that happened in the United States, as if it was a financial tide, when the storm was surging, New York became the core of the American fleet, and this attack of the raid fleet hit New York of the United States hard, and it was also like a hornet's nest, countless warships frantically headed towards New York, their movements were slower, coupled with the relationship of being sneak attacked, they lost almost 300,000 tons of fleet, but near New York, there were almost 1.5 million tons of various warships, and they were forming a ship group. The frenzied search party to blame the United States for the destruction, however, they are doomed to nothing.

Cheng Biguang led the fleet, in a secluded place 400 nautical miles away from the coast of the United States, after completing the replenishment, once again regained strength, this time, they did not choose New York, but more than 100 kilometers from New York to the south.

For the group of warships that were attacked in New York, most of them were concentrated near New York, after all, the fleet was less than the sneak attack fleet, only a certain number of warships could confront Cheng Biguang, they were also extremely careful, and the United States could not suffer more damage, but they did not expect that Cheng Biguang was 400 nautical miles away, and after completing the supply, he set his sights on a port in the United States, which was nothing else, and was located in Philadelphia, about 150 kilometers south of New York.
