Section 718 Exposure
Yang Chao thought that using Rockefeller's transportation channels would already be very harsh, because it meant that Mexico's oil was still controlled by Rockefeller, but he didn't expect that the compensation demand issued by the Americans would be just harsh. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They demanded a huge compensation from Mexico for a billion that they did not have.
They have a basis, but this basis is not based on the current market price, but on the peak of oil prices before the economic crisis, and their reason is that the price of oil will rise sooner or later, and many American investors invested at that time, so Mexico must compensate them in full.
Well, the Americans are passing on all the losses in the economic crisis of the American shareholders to Mexico.
After intense negotiations, Mexico acceded to almost all of the demanding demands of the United States, launched a massive fundraising campaign in the country, stirred up the national sentiment of the whole nation, and paid the first huge sum of $100 million.
The Mexican government chose this because Yang Chao told them that he had bought a piece of information of high value, and that Mexico's coastal waters contained huge oil reserves, probably ten times higher than Mexico's current oil reserves.
The Mexican government was moved by this news, so it was eager to get rid of the control of the Americans, take back the state-owned resources as soon as possible, and then develop new resources.
As for why they trust Yang Chao so much, in addition to the accidents that Yang Chao has always shown, it is also related to the fact that they are still relatively naïve, after all, they are a group of democrats, how much scheming can they have, of course, when they work hard in politics for decades, they will mature at that time.
And more importantly, $1 billion was not a very heavy burden for them, because their good brother, their former suzerain, the current government of the Spanish Republic, temporarily lent them a sum of $300 million in cash to help them get through the situation.
Fighting tiger brothers, after all, they are the old masters, and they are a nation after all.
That's why, the whole world does not support the government of the Spanish Republic, and Mexico is the only one that openly supports the legitimate government, not only out of justice, if justice, why are Asian countries indifferent, but also important national feelings, because Mexico and Spain are inextricably linked in history, because in the past Mexico was a colony of Spain, just like every time something happens to Britain, whether the United States helps or refuses, everyone will care about their attitude, It is because of the history of the United Kingdom and the United States that they have a natural sense of identity.
Although not all Americans are willing to support Britain all the time, almost all Americans, subconsciously, will think that they have something to do with Britain, that Britain is not a country that has nothing to do with them, you can oppose it, you can support it, but you can't ignore it.
The support of the old suzerainty made it easier for Mexico to repay the debts of the United States, and at the same time made them more supportive of Spain, but unfortunately the current Spain is already in danger, and if there is no new support, it may be difficult for them to survive for half a year.
The Mexicans fully agreed to the U.S. conditions, and the U.S. Congress quickly approved and reached an oil redemption agreement with Mexico, closing the case.
It's just that Roosevelt was always very uncomfortable in his heart, because he saw that Yang Chao was involved horizontally, and suddenly had a strong influence in Mexico, and any country intervening in American affairs is something that the United States does not want to see, especially intervening in Mexican affairs, especially China's involvement in Mexican affairs, is the last thing they want to see, because of the current international situation, the pattern of China and the United States competing for hegemony in the Pacific Ocean has emerged, which is an unavoidable reality.
But he really didn't want to do anything with Mexico.
After he came to power, due to the economic and social crisis, the first thing he had to guard against was to prevent drastic changes at home and prevent the United States from becoming a fascist or GC country, so he began to shrink the power of the United States, gave up military interventionism in the Americas, withdrew the armies of several small countries in the Caribbean, and sang the praises of good-neighborliness and friendship.
Mexico, as one of the most important countries in Latin America, can make a good start by being friendly to Mexico and greatly improve the image of the United States among Latin American countries.
But the Chinese intervened, and everything seemed to be supported by China, and Mexico withdrew its oil resources, which is a very bad signal, which will make those countries in Latin America that are deeply controlled by the United States slowly move closer to China, and then bring Chinese power into the Americas.
Although Yang Chao has always used his private status and he does not have any public office now, a figure of Roosevelt's level knows what is going on in Chinese politics, and Yang Chao has always been a political figure, even if he is no longer an official, he still has the ability to influence China's political situation - if not control it.
So Roosevelt had to get what he wanted, what he wanted, what Rockefeller wanted was oil interests, what Roosevelt wanted, of course, was political interests.
Before he agreed to negotiate with the Mexicans, he communicated with the Chinese government, and the two sides reached an agreement and signed the "Inter-American Agreement", which is a treaty similar to the "Sino-British Intercontinental Agreement", but in order to make the Europeans worry that China and the United States will divide the world, thus causing political confrontation, so this agreement is limited to the Americas, and China promises that any official actions in the Americas must be understood by the United States.
This is tantamount to allowing China to recognize the hegemony of the United States in the Americas.
Without any hesitation, Pan Xun asked people to sign this agreement, because Roosevelt promised him that once China agreed to this agreement, the United States would immediately contact Mexico's blockade, and would no longer refuse economic exchanges between China and Mexico, nor would it interfere with China's economic expansion in other countries and regions in the Americas.
Pan Xun's biggest headache is the current public opinion condemnation of him because of the seizure of the Yangzi Petroleum Company's cargo ship by the United States, and next year there will be a congressional election, which will be held every two years, and one-third of the seats will be elected each time.
Therefore, he is anxious to solve these troubles, and he can also get the Americans to guarantee that they will not interfere in China's economic expansion in the Americas, which means that this kind of thing will not happen in the future, which can be regarded as a diplomatic gain and a political achievement that can be shown in front of the people. Of course, the Americans also got what they wanted, and Roosevelt let the American people know that they had finally made China recognize their special status in the Americas.
However, I am afraid that neither of the two politicians will think that this kind of treaty is really binding, but just joining forces to deceive each other's voters.
But the trouble was finally solved.
But the troubles that followed came one after another, and it was an abnormal year for Americans.
Just after the Western New Year, Roosevelt had to face something that made him feel unbelievable, counterfeit money, counterfeit dollars, massive counterfeit dollars.
Yang Chao printed counterfeit dollar money, which will be discovered sooner or later, without any luck.
Because Yang Chao printed too much, he printed 30 billion US dollars, if all this money goes to the United States, let alone discovering, I am afraid that the American economic system will collapse.
$30 billion doesn't seem like much, Roosevelt's New Deal also ran a fiscal deficit of $36 billion, and the U.S. capital circulation was $45.3 billion in 21 years and $73 billion in 29 years.
However, the capital circulation of Americans does not rely on printing paper money, but on the developed banking system, and the amount of paper money they circulate in the market is actually not large, 3.68 billion US dollars in 21 years, and in 29 years, not only did it not increase on a large scale like circulating capital, but decreased slightly, from 3.68 billion US dollars to 3.64 billion US dollars.
29 years is a peak of the U.S. economy, and obviously the circulation of paper money should also be a peak, but even this peak has only circulated more than 3.4 billion US dollars, and Yang Chao directly printed 30 billion US dollars, it can only be said that it is not surprising that it was discovered, and it is strange why it was only discovered now, rather than long ago.
There are several reasons, the first is that the economic crisis destroyed the developed banking system in the United States, and then Roosevelt also dismembered banking giants like Morgan, so to speak, in this economic crisis, the American banking industry was greatly hit, the financing ability was greatly weakened, and the ability to create capital was naturally greatly weakened, which is why it was not until Roosevelt's death that private investment in the United States increased for the first time, because the ability of banks to create capital was too weak.
During the economic crisis, more than 10,000 banks in the United States went bankrupt, accounting for half of the number of banks in the United States, and it can be said that the entire banking system underwent a major operation, and the banking system's ability to control the currency after the operation was extremely weak.
There are other reasons, such as the money laundering of Soviet Russia, they are very knowledgeable to disperse black money around the world, many countries did not immediately spend the dollar, but saved it as a currency reserve, because not every country is in deficit with the United States, and those countries with a surplus either choose to hold dollars or choose to exchange for other currencies, so a large number of dollars have not returned to the United States for a while.
And, and perhaps the most important, reason is that Nazi Germany is rearmament. (To be continued.) )
