Chapter 517: Invisible Gunsmoke
readx;
Original At the last moment when he was about to touch the sea, Chen Bingyong pulled up the cāo pole hard, due to the ground effect, the wing instead had excess lift, the nose of the fuselage was raised, the belly and tail of the fuselage hit the sea first, and then, the nose and the fuselage were separated, and the American technicians in the fuselage were all smashed by the violent impact, and the person in the nose of the fuselage was lucky to fall to the sea after a buffer, and the nose of the fuselage went down, just pulling away the water, and the impact was greatly reduced
Chen Bingyong desperately got out of the broken rear engine room and surfaced. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧
The sea was already a little cold, and in the darkness, he saw the lights of a ship sailing not far away.
………
On this sleepless night, it was not only the fait accompli military conflict between Hokkaido and Sakhalin in the north, but also in the south, in Hong Kong, where the invisible smoke of gunpowder was permeating Hong Kong's financial circles.
Britain has been taking a hard line in the Hong Kong negotiations, as if Britain still has enough strength to maintain the glory of the once unruly empire after settling the Falklands dispute at a high cost, but the truth is no longer the case. ≦≧At least, Hong Kong people don't have that much confidence.
In the past few days, the Hong Kong dollar has begun to fluctuate sharply, although it will recover later, but Hong Kong zhèngfu is very worried, this is just a precursor before the collapse of the Hong Kong dollar.
Hong Kong's zhèngfu has already reported to the British authorities, and the British has begun to take out most of its small foreign exchange reserves, preparing to save Hong Kong's zhèngfu from a possible currency crisis at a critical moment, and at the same time, preparing to borrow a part of the US dollar from the United States.
Although there is a little bulge in the pocket, however, Hong Kong zhèngfu does not have any confidence, because, now in the market, the Hong Kong dollar is performing very badly.
They seem to have seen it. There was a huge pit, waiting for them to jump down, and besides, shouting to them from a high place, "Are you ready?" ”
At this time, at Ousheng Electronics Company, Zhang Manyu was watching the people secretly coming from the Middle East, and was directing the cāo handicap to perform cāo work on the computer terminal. ≦≧ their hands were tapping on the keyboard. That's no ordinary keyboard, that's dollars!
"Miss Zhang, are you afraid?" Hikmat looked at the beautiful Chinese woman. Said. Because this matter is very important, Hekmat personally stepped in. According to the orders of His Excellency Qusay, and the knowledge he has at his disposal, he is ready to make a big deal here.
Their subordinates have scraped together a total of $30 billion, of which $20 billion is from Saudi Arabia, $8 billion is from Kuwait, and one billion is from several other Gulf countries, of which only $500 million. It's Iraq's own.
This can be said to be the great trust of several other Gulf countries in Iraq, and they already have a blind identification with Qusay, since the war is very good, then the investment must also be good, they do not know. In fact, Qusay is really not good, in his previous life, he was a special soldier, not a financier.
However, Qusay has his finger on the pulse of historical developments. He knew that the Hong Kong dollar crisis would erupt. This crisis has attracted the speculation of countless international investors, and in the end, some people have made a lot of money, while others have lost all their money. ≦≧ Hong Kong announced the linked exchange rate system on October 15, and the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the US dollar, and the exchange rate was set at 7.8 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar.
Although they only mobilized $30 billion, and Hong Kong's local foreign exchange reserves also have tens of billions of dollars, they can borrow more through financing, mortgages, and loans. And, as they begin to move, there will be a steady stream of investment armies that will increase their strength.
In later generations, there is a professional term called financial speculator, and there are more detailed classifications, such as real estate speculation groups.
And they are here to speculate on the Hong Kong dollar, but the more they speculate in real estate, the higher they speculate, and the lower they speculate in the Hong Kong dollar.
For a few days, Hekmatt had been letting the cāo handicap slowly eat the Hong Kong dollar, using the dollars they had on hand to buy the Hong Kong dollar, and as they ate the Hong Kong dollar one after another, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the dollar was gradually rising, but this was just a flashback, and when they sold the Hong Kong dollar in large sums, then the exchange rate would immediately plummet.
While eating the Hong Kong dollar, they also ate stocks in the market, waiting for the simultaneous sell-off, while depressing the Hang Seng Index, they accumulated a large number of short positions in the Hang Seng Index futures market, and made a big profit in the markets related to the foreign exchange market, the stock market and the futures market. ≦≧
Today, it is a real battle, this kind of war, there is no gunsmoke, but it is more tense than the battlefield between Iraq and Iraq, because the $30 billion is almost all borrowed, if the money is lost, Hekmat will not want to go back to take charge of the oil project in Iraq, even if he directly buys a piece of tofu in Hong Kong and dies, His Excellency Qusay will pick him up again and scold him.
With Hekmat's orders, the cāo handicappers got to work, selling the Hong Kong dollar and swapping it back for the dollar!
Because when they bought the Hong Kong dollar, Hong Kong zhèngfu was also trying to increase the Hong Kong dollar, which led to a slight increase in the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar, and then they exchanged the Hong Kong dollar back for the US dollar, and made a fraction, of course, then the exchange rate began to fluctuate, gradually declined, and finally stabilized again.
This time it was not to make money at all, and he would never make money in this way, he just tried it, if he threw out the Hong Kong dollar in his hand, could it cause the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to fall, now it seems that the answer is yes.
The real money is the short positions accumulated in the futures market when the Hong Kong dollar falls and the stock market crashes. ≦≧
After the cāo was finished, Hikmatt asked the cāo to rest, they have all gathered in the Hong Kong branch of Ousheng Electronics Company in the past few days, these people are not allowed to contact the outside world until they run away with a large amount of dollars, to prevent accidents.
Looking at Hekmat, who had already relaxed, Zhang Manyu couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you sure that you can really make a lot of money by doing this way?" ”
"I'm not just convinced. I'm pretty sure of that. "You're going to see the storm coming in Hong Kong's financial sector," Hikmat said. ”
Before the storm in Hong Kong's financial circles came, in the international community, the Soviet Union's diplomatic turmoil had already arrived ahead of schedule.
On September 1, 1983, in the United States, several newspapers controlled by the Republican Party began to vigorously promote an incident that happened last night: Korean Airlines Flight 1490, due to navigation failures, deviated from the course and, as a result, was shot down by Soviet fighters in the Soya Strait! At this time, it was only twenty kilometers from the maritime border line of the USSR and RIBEN!
All the people on the flight were killed, this is a heinous crime committed by the Soviet Union, which should be strongly condemned by the whole world!
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
Many people began to think that five years ago, Soviet fighter jets unceremoniously shot down a South Korean Airlines Boeing 707 plane, and this time, they shot down a South Korean passenger plane, they are so destined!
The whole world was in a sensation, and the news of this explosion immediately overshadowed the serious crisis of confidence that the United States had fallen into. At the same time, the head of the press office of the White House made a harshly worded speech that such actions of the USSR were a challenge to the international aviation order, and the United States would definitely not tolerate such behavior! What's more, there are still some Americans on this Boeing 747 plane! The Americans were innocently shot down, this is a great shame! Two aircraft carrier battle groups of the U.S. Pacific Fleet began to gather near Hokkaido at the same time.
Public opinion in the United States has finally changed, and Reagan secretly took chances.
The American people don't know that they have been fooled again, and if they know the truth of the matter, then all the high-level officials in the entire zhèngfu who know about this matter will probably have to step down! dared to transfer the passenger plane and detain those passengers; Dare to use a passenger plane as a weapon to challenge the Soviet air defense, this is an unforgivable deception of the people!
And if the American zhèngfu is really tough, then, last night, it was time for them to send out their air force stationed in Riben to confront the USSR over Sakhalin.
It's a pity that the United States zhèngfu didn't, and after learning that the airliner was shot down, everyone, including Reagan, actually breathed a sigh of relief.
And the Soviet Union, faced with the watery condemnation of the cháo, simply calmly commented: this unidentified plane flew to the firing position of the Soviet long-range ICBM, this is a violation of Soviet airspace, and in order to protect the interests of the Soviet Union, they must shoot down this invading plane!
The Soviet Union denied that it was a passenger plane shot down yesterday, that the other side had no navigation lights, and that the flight path was seriously deviated, so it could not be a passenger plane at all, but a large plane invaded by the United States. As for whether or not they shot down the electronic jamming plane yesterday, they did not have a definite result, and moreover, the missile that was originally launched had already flown over the center line of the strait, so for various reasons, it was impossible for the United States to tell the world the truth, and the Soviet Union also deliberately concealed some of it.
All this is the same as history, but there are also slight changes, in the previous life, although the unlucky Chen Bingyong was not shocked to death by the fierce impact at the moment, he was also soaked in the seawater after the body slowly cooled down, and finally the body floated on the surface of the sea, and the body was salvaged by the ship sent by the Soviet Union.
And now, lying in the bilge of the Iraqi freighter Ugheim, staring vacantly at the dim light, but his heart is full of mixed feelings.
After rescuing the captain, the Ugaim picked up two more American bodies, and the time was almost up, and immediately left the sea. The body was placed in the cold storage where the food was stored on the Ugham, and the living man was temporarily taken into their custody. To be continued
