Chapter 566: Confrontation
In fact, Yang Fuhrer was not prepared to completely collapse the United States.
It would not be good for him to bring down the United States, he had to face the Soviets, Comrade Li, and even his European allies at this time, once the United States collapsed, then the Ming Dynasty would become the target of public criticism, if he had a country about the same size as the United States, and the population was about the same, he might consider embarking on the evil road of world domination.
But with these 60 million people, let's save it!
It's good to be a Nanbatian.
In this case, he needs someone to pull hatred and attract firepower in front, and this great task must be handed over to the Mi people.
"Your Excellency, do you need my help with gold?"
Yang Feng said to Kennedy.
On both sides of the negotiation table in front of them, there are dozens of representatives of the two countries, who are lying on the documents one by one and writing hard, this is the grain importer from Daming and the main grain exporter of the rice country, in order to show his friendship, Yang Yuan personally came forward this time to pull a huge order for the farmers of the rice country, all kinds of grain alone amounted to 3 million tons, and there are also 2 million tons of pork, beef, frozen chicken, etc., which can be said to make all the rice farmers cheer.
"Nima, you just forced me to exchange eight hundred tons of gold, and now you're crying rats again?"
Kennedy was in his heart.
The reason why he gave in on this issue was completely forced by Yang Feng, not that he was afraid that Yang Feng would not do anything in the Wa Kingdom, if Yang Feng quit, he would directly throw the Wa Guo to He Bald, anyway, it was this guy who had the most headache at that time, what he was really afraid of was Yang Feng throwing the dollar, which would make the dollar collapse directly. As soon as he thought of the threat implied by this guy to the British, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness, the dollar in Yang Feng's hand had become his lethal weapon, and the foreign exchange reserves of 10 billion US dollars were pressed on top of Mi Guo's head like a huge two-handed sword.
"Your Excellency. Do you have any good ideas? ”
He asked with a smile.
"It's very simple, I still have more gold in my hands, if you need it, I can sell some of it in the market, so that I can probably pull the price of gold down."
Yang Feng said.
"And what about the conditions?"
Kennedy said.
"Well, I really like the beautiful scenery in the middle of the Pacific Ocean."
"Which island?"
"Palau!"
As soon as you hear the name. Kennedy hesitated, Palau is their trusteeship, it is less than 1,500 kilometers away from Guam, if Yang Feng gets Palau and then stationed an air base there, then he can threaten Guam at any time, but even if he is not given it, Guam is within the range of the Ming army's Yinglong bombers, and there are a bunch of Yi missiles aimed at it. Once the war starts, it can be said that Yang Feng will raze it with his hand, and from this point of view, there is no substantive difference between giving him and not giving him.
gave it to him, if the situation between the two sides is tense in the future, it is nothing more than that Yang Feng has a card to play a small game.
"Your Excellency, I need to take this issue to the Congress, and I will also have to consult the United Nations and the local population."
He hesitated.
"Of course, I'm waiting for your good news."
Yang Feng said.
He wants Palau to be just a rabbit in the grass, and stabilizing the dollar is what he wants to do. He did take the opportunity to siphon off the gold reserves of the United States, but the goal had been achieved. He has managed to bring the country's gold reserves below 10,000 tons, so the next step is to bring the dollar back to normal. In this way, he can sell some of the gold at the highest price, recover a large amount of dollars, and replenish his foreign exchange reserves back to 10 billion. Of course, this refers to the US dollar foreign exchange reserves.
And his gold was exchanged from the United States at a price of 35 US dollars, and now he put out the high price of 800 tons of gold, and at the current gold price of 45 US dollars a ounce, he will make a huge dollar profit.
In the end, he actually didn't take a penny out, and he earned back countless benefits.
He exchanged gold from the country of rice at a low price. Selling it on the market at a high price is actually a gold speculation.
This game is very simple, basically everyone understands, but no one dares to do it, because this is only a temporary stabilization of the dollar, the future dollar will fall again, this is an irreversible trend, unless the economy of the United States recovers, the huge trade deficit of the United States changes, otherwise the dollar will depreciate after all, these countries must hoard gold as a reserve instead of using it to earn another dollar, not to mention that no country has the ability to come up with thousands of tons of gold to protect the dollar.
But Yang Feng dares to do it, only he dares to do it in this world, and only he has the ability to do it.
Because he is not short of gold, his gold reserves are so much that they are useless, and there is no real difference between increasing these eight hundred tons and not increasing these eight hundred tons, so only he dares to make this money.
In addition, only he is not afraid of saving too many dollars in his hands, because these dollars are different in his hands and in the hands of central banks, and the latter will become waste paper if they save too much, because they can't buy millions of tons of rice grain like Yang Feng, and they can't buy a large number of rice industrial products to impact their own industry, but he can buy grain from rice country, in fact, Yang Feng bought more than 1.5 billion US dollars of grain and meat this time, such a large amount can not be eaten except for the Ming Dynasty, which is seriously not self-sufficient.
And he can also use dollars to buy raw materials from Xinhua and crude oil from the Soviet Union, although these countries are inseparable from the United States, but in fact they like the dollar the most.
The United States Congress did not let Yang Feng wait for a long time, and then after a heated debate, it agreed to transfer the Palau trusteeship to Yang Feng, at this time the most important thing is to smash the gold price down, so that people can restore confidence in the dollar, but if you want to smash the gold price down, don't throw hundreds of thousands of tons of gold out of the United States is not to expect, at this time let the United States throw an extra ton of gold The Federal Reserve is painful, let alone throw so much at once.
As for the harm of Yang Feng after getting Palau......
That's not worth mentioning, even if he doesn't get Palau, he wants to raze Guam just by pressing the missile launch button.
As for seeking the views of the United Nations and the local population, that would be pure nonsense.
In this way, when Yang Feng was about to return to China at the end of his visit, the two countries urgently signed an agreement in Washington on the transfer of the Palau Trusteeship, and this small Pacific island, together with several smaller islands around it, was changed from the trusteeship of the United States to the trusteeship of the Ming Empire, or simply said that Yang Yuan had drawn a new territory for his country.
Although this territory is a little smaller.
But it's still much bigger than Sint Maarten.
Just after the signing of this agreement, London and New York two major gold markets, suddenly someone began to sell a large number of gold, and not a little bit of selling, directly is hundreds of tons of throwing, still in the continuous rise of the gold price was smashed instantly, the original round of panic buying is with a certain panic, after calming down the market began to return to stability, as the sellers continue to throw gold, gold prices finally began to slowly fall.
Yang Feng quickly replenished the foreign exchange reserves of the Imperial Bank back to $10 billion.
And at this time, a unique battle began in the distant Wa Kingdom.
"Target Four!"
An early warning plane hovering off the eastern coast of Ibaraki Prefecture suddenly sounded an exclamation, and four striking points of light were moving at high speed on the radar screen.
"Target Four."
Fifty kilometers away, in front of a computer screen connected by a data link, an officer on duty shouted.
"Target Four, launch!"
Almost at the same time, in a steel-rain rocket launcher 30 kilometers away, another officer shouted, and the soldiers next to him immediately pressed a button in front of him, and instantly spewed flames behind the launch box tilted to the sky, and a campaign-tactical missile flew out quickly under the impetus of strong thrust, followed by the second, and the two missiles dragged a striking track straight into the sky.
At this time, at an altitude of 50,000 meters hundreds of kilometers away, four Scud missiles were gradually reaching the apex of their ballistics.
At a launch position near Fukushima in the north, Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Andrei said to his subordinates: "Retreat!" ”
The latter saluted and left, and then the hundreds of Soviet and Japanese soldiers at the launch site moved quickly and methodically, putting away all the launchers and preparing to evacuate, waiting for a lot of bits and pieces of this missile, and they needed a few minutes to put them away one by one. Lieutenant Colonel Andrei watched this scene with great satisfaction while smoking, this was his sixth successful launch, because of the rich combat experience gained on the battlefield of the Japanese Kingdom, there was no suspense about promotion after returning to China, and it was soon estimated that even the general star would be carried on his shoulders.
However, it was still a little far away, but what was close at hand was the gentle soothing of the female comrades of the Japanese country.
He didn't know that at this moment, the four Scud missiles he had just launched were staggering past the other two missiles dozens of kilometers away, and the soldiers of the Soviet and Japanese armies who were busy preparing to evacuate also did not know, they were talking to each other casually and preparing to go back to the hidden base to enjoy the delicious food and the adoring eyes of the female comrades! Until an officer in the command car pushed open the door with a pale face and rushed out.
"Missiles, missiles, enemy missiles!"
He screamed like madness.
Everyone, including Lieutenant Colonel Andrei, stopped their work and turned their heads to look at him in amazement, and at this moment, two meteors fell rapidly in the sky, and before they could react, the first meteor had already reached the top of their heads. Immediately after that, there was a sudden explosion at an altitude of more than 100 meters, and the powder column in the missile warhead exploded, shattering the shell of the warhead and pushing 950 fist-sized bombs in all directions, smashing them into the ground like a rain of steel and fire.
Before the first bomb could hit the ground, the second missile exploded at about the same height, and the same 950 bomblets were scattered in all directions.
Lieutenant Colonel Andrei looked up at the sky dumbfounded, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in his vision, and a heavy and hard thing slammed into his head, and the next moment his world was only a fiery red. (To be continued.) )
