Chapter 430: A Common Goal

The reason why this kind of occasion appeared is that Kennedy has already touched the bottom line of some people. The legalization of silver in the United States began with the 1792 Minting Act of 1792, which established the legal status of the U.S. dollar. One dollar contains 24.1 grams of sterling silver, and the ratio of gold to silver is 1:15. The U.S. dollar, the most benchmark measure for U.S. currency, is based on silver. Since then, the United States has maintained a dual-track system of gold and silver currencies for a long time. Silver is more dispersed than gold, and production and supply are much larger, making it more difficult to control, and because the potential mineral resources of silver are so huge, once countries around the world start to explore and develop on a larger scale guided by market prices, it will threaten the financial system that is now in place.

A month earlier, Kennedy had signed a little-known but not yet formally implemented presidential decree ordering the U.S. Treasury to issue silver coupons backed by any form of silver owned by the Treasury, including silver ingots, silver coins, and standard silver dollar silver coins, and to immediately put them into circulation. Kennedy's intention was clear, to take back the right to issue money from the private central bank, the Federal Reserve! If the plan is finally implemented, the US government will gradually get out of the absurd situation of having to borrow money from the Fed and pay high interest, and a money backed by silver is not debt money that "overdraws the future", but "honest money" based on the fruits of people's already labor. The circulation of "silver bills" will gradually reduce the liquidity of the dollars issued by the Fed, and it is likely that it will eventually force the Fed banks to go bankrupt.

Judging from Kennedy's current popularity among the American people, as long as Kennedy announces his candidacy, he will definitely be re-elected as president of the United States again, and it is difficult to say whether they will be able to contain Kennedy in four years.

And Kennedy, far from being an obedient marionette, deliberately exaggerated the Soviet missile threat in the election to deceive the populace and finally defeat Nixon. Jumping too high during the Cuban Missile Crisis and almost catching up with the United States made everyone here very dissatisfied, but if he didn't put his mind on currency, everything would still be discussed. But they will never back down on this issue, and even the most prestigious president of the post-war period will not hesitate to do so.

A Kennedy will not make everyone here like a great enemy, after all, he is only one person, even if he adds Kennedy, a very powerful family, what can he do? How many people can a family have, and how much capital can it control? In addition, some forces that have a good relationship with the Kennedy family are still weak in their eyes.

But things can't be seen that way, will those who can control the US currency not have a long-term vision? By the time Kennedy had just made the move and stepped in to do it himself, they had already seen potential supporters of the presidential decree once it was implemented. The reserves of silver are far larger than those of gold, which is even more difficult to control. What is the largest silver-producing area in the world? It was Spain's Viceroyalty of Mexico, and most of Mexico's territory had been annexed by the United States after the Mexican-American War, and the western states of the United States had huge silver reserves, and various upstarts would soon become supporters of Kennedy.

The reason why they couldn't tolerate Kennedy for a few years was that they were afraid that once this opening was opened, it would never be closed again, and the swarming silver mine owners would become a formidable challenger for them, a challenge that was even 10,000 times more terrible than that of the Kennedys, and those present could not even guarantee that they would win.

"If only the Soviets could help us finish off JFK, can we do something while JFK is out of the country and let the KGB find a chance to do it!?" A burly middle-aged man suggested that the man's huge stature made his suit a little small, but no one would laugh at him on such an occasion.

"The Soviets are not stupid, how could they do the assassination of the president of the United States, do they want to provoke a world war?" Another old man with snow-white hair said categorically, "We can only do this by ourselves, so that some restless people know that if anyone is crooked about currency in the future, Kennedy will be the end!" ”

Not only did they want to kill Kennedy, but they also wanted to let everyone know that Kennedy's death was unknown, and in this case, they also had to block the mouths of all those who knew that the cause of Kennedy's death was not simple, which had only one purpose, to tell everyone that it was useless for all of you to know that there was a conspiracy in Kennedy's death, and we just want to tell you through Kennedy's death who is the real controller of this country, so as to prevent the emergence of a president who challenges the financial system with a slap in the face.

"At present, the U.S. military is only sending advisers to train the South Vietnamese army, and there is no trend of expansion, and it seems that Kennedy wants to avoid the Korean War, and our first secretary also judged so!" At this time, in the office of the chairman of the KGB at No. 11 Lubyanka Square, Sakhatowsky, who had already served as the first deputy chairman, wondered, "Could it be that China's support for Vietnam has frightened the Americans?" ”

"Kennedy wanted to avoid a war in Vietnam and not look at what people in their country thought? Didn't Kennedy have a term? When the time comes, he will not be the president, and he will not be able to prevent the United States from going to war in Vietnam. Our first secretary forgot that the president of the United States can be replaced! Serov, who was wearing a white vest, said, "This president is unwilling, and the next president may be willing......

Thousands of miles away from the United States, at 11 Lubyanka Square in the Soviet Union, two people also talked about the issue of the president of the United States. However, the two men were mainly assessing the possibility of an expansion of the Vietnam War. The mention of JFK is only in passing. During the Cold War, although the United States and the Soviet Union could not be called doing their best to engage in an arms race, they could definitely be called serious military confrontation, and so many weapons and ammunition were completely stored in warehouses after they were produced?

The Soviet Union could have done this, because the Soviet state control was still there, and it was able to suppress the manufacturing needs of the military-industrial complex. But the United States is faced with more than just manufacturing needs, and there are also the interests of many arms companies. If you don't consume so many weapons, won't there be fewer orders in the future? How to make money with fewer orders? But if there is a need for war, it will be different, and orders for weapons will fly like snowflakes, and these orders will be money.

The last thing the United States wants the end of the Cold War is the arms company, for these people, the Soviet Union is their food and clothing, although the Soviet Union has not taken any action for the time being, but China has made the same move, anyway, they are all enemies, the Soviet Union is not easy to blow for the time being, so it will blow the threat of China and make do with it first.

What is the most profitable, apart from the financial capital predators on Wall Street, it is these arms companies that sell war that make the most money. So there must be a demand in this, Kennedy prevented the expansion of the Vietnam War, that is, he was stopping the demand of American arms companies, as for whether there was such a factor in the cause of Kennedy's death, Serov would not speculate, he was not an American.

On the issue of the expansion of the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union and those arms companies that needed war were completely brothers in the trenches, and the Soviet Union needed the United States to fight in Vietnam, and the strength of the United States itself was stronger than that of the Soviet Union, both economically and militarily at present, and the Soviet Union could not do anything at all if there was no place to draw the attention of the United States.

In the Cold War, if the United States and the Soviet Union had looked at each other and stared at each other, there would have been no period of Soviet offensive in the 70s.

"At present, the Chinese side has a lot of involvement in Vietnam, and it seems that stabilizing the situation is enough." Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky took the report of the First Directorate General and said, "If the war expands, will China continue to invest?" ”

"Yes, the expansion of the war will make China feel the threat of American military power, but China's purpose is not to support the reunification of Vietnam, which is different from our purpose, our purpose is to use the Vietnam War to try to bring Southeast Asia into our camp, so when we come on the field, the support will be greater than China!" Serov said indifferently, "Once our first secretary realizes the benefits of the United States getting into the war, he will agree to support Vietnam!" ”

"Well, it seems that what the President of the United States said on this matter does not count!" Lieutenant General Sakhatowsky nodded and said.

Not to mention that this highly rated president is about to die, and maybe it is going on now. Serov didn't know that he was also acting as a prophet at this time.

Even if he knew about it, he would not take it to heart, as he said, on the matter of Kennedy's death, the financial predators of the Soviet Union and the United States were on the same side. If Kennedy did not die, the Vietnam War would not expand, and if the Soviet Union did not expand, there would be no chance for the United States to be deficient, and it would not be easy to overtake without this opportunity, and no one knows how many years it would take for the United States to catch up if the Soviet Union did not die, and when the time came, the anti-war demonstrations and social tears in the United States were enough for the Soviet Union to have a ten-year offensive period, and when the United States healed these wounds and then turned back, it is difficult to say whether it could regain its advantage as if it was in history. You know, this time the USSR was more fully prepared.

"When China launched support in Vietnam, we mainly took a defensive position, and finally solved the Indonesian problem in a short period of time, and then coordinated with Vietnam's offensive direction to take a north-south attack, and Southeast Asia would not be a problem. Indonesia must not have chaos, let the First General Directorate collect the garrison points of the Indonesian Army, we help the Indonesian Ministry of the Interior to develop a combat plan, in the event of a surprise attack by the Indonesian Army, there is a record. Serov finally pointed his finger at the map of Southeast Asia. (To be continued.) )
