Chapter 927 Black Tuesday is here again
PS: Thank you book lovers
Voted for 2 precious monthly passes, thank you!!
When he learned that the Mengzi fleet was safe and sound, Dong Ku increased the speed of the exchange of prisoners, and in just three days, all the prisoners were exchanged, including Marshall's generals.
The premise is that the United States needs to close the deal within a short period of time, or the exchange of prisoners will be terminated.
The tragedy in New York had not yet completely erupted, and the crisis had not yet appeared, but Roosevelt absolutely did not dare to do without these prisoners, and he ordered all the freighters, as long as all the freighters on the east coast of the United States were engaged in this transportation war, and in just three days, the ports of Santiago, Manzanillo, and even Havana, Mariel, and Matanzas joined the ranks of unloading. The soldiers boarded the ship mainly in San Diego and returned to the continental United States.
On the fifth day, it was all over. Except for the pilots and sailors, all the prisoners of the American army were returned to the United States. As a result, Dong Ku also obtained a large number of materials and lathes. These were too late to be transported, and they were piled up everywhere, like hills, so that the indigenous Cubans were crazy to put themselves into the work of transporting. With equipment, with supplies, they have jobs, they have income, and prosperity is just around the corner.
During these five days, Roosevelt personally met with the president of the Washington branch of the Eurasian Development Bank and expressed his intention to borrow money.
He had to make such a decision, the chaos in New York had begun to be uncontrollable, the information verification of the exchange was a huge siege, the gold was gone, as long as the outside world did not know the way, borrow some, he could temporarily tide over the difficulties.
All news was blocked, and in such a secret situation, the intention to cooperate was quickly reached, but gold. The branch had only one ton, and it didn't do anything inappropriately, only to ship it back from Switzerland.
The amount borrowed was 500 tons, and the delivery took a month away, and it was necessary to beware of interception by the Japanese. However, DBS offered a compromise. That is, with the United Kingdom as a guarantee, it borrowed 200 tons of gold from JPMorgan Chase Bank, and gave the United States a precursor to deal with the destruction of the exchange, stabilize the people, and avoid panic and a wave of withdrawals. The rest of the gold arrived in the United States a month later, and the bank took care of it at its own expense.
As for the terms of exchange, they are still the same, that is, they are the same as in the UK. Pledge your jewellery and artifacts directly to the branch here.
Having done this in three days was a temporary relief for Roosevelt. As long as there is no withdrawal and the news of the disappearance of the reserves does not leak, this crisis can be regarded as over.
But he knew there that what Dong Ku wanted was his materials and lathe equipment, and when these were in hand, it was time to give him a complete blow.
This would be impossible for the fierce man's fleet to be discovered anyway. Except for the 510 tons of gold that returned to Washington, the rest had already gone straight to Pontianak.
Look at the hot docks. Dong Ku said without looking back: "Adjutant, inform Connatas of a meeting, and we will leave Cuba in two hours." ”
Zuo Boyang informed Connatas in response, and then followed Dong Ku back to the residence.
After Dong Ku handed over this place to him and No. 7, he took No. 5, No. 6 and Zuo Boyang on a submarine and quietly landed ashore in Miami. Take the train and rush to Washington.
Dong Ku is going to do it, and he wants to let the United States completely fall into the economic wave.
He had already given orders to all the links to have Gast collect all the funds in exchange for gold, in exchange for them everywhere. Abolition of all financing companies. The front desk boss was handed over to Guo Weiquan's Three Q Party to dispose of, leaving no trace. As for the hired staff, ignore it.
At the same time, let the two or three hundred housing developers disappear, key personnel are evacuated, accounts are destroyed, and all traces are cleaned.
Needless to say, before the bombing of New York, $2.6 billion had been raised, and all of them had been exchanged for gold and supplies. The supplies were taken away by Canada, and the gold had long been deposited in the branches of the Eurasian Development Bank.
They plundered the wealth of the middle bourgeoisie, leaving them with illusory figures waiting for eventual bankruptcy.
It's not the most ruthless, it's the real estate development that's the most ruthless.
Originally, the Great Depression caused by the stock market crash in 29 years had not yet eased, and those peasants and low-net-worth people did not have much money in their hands, so Dong Ku used the method of advance payment and the condition of installment housing to squeeze out all the money in their pockets and pay the down payment.
And Dong Ku's highest strategy is to build a house without investing a penny. He used high prices to make those building material dealers flock to him, but it was a blank strip of paper, and a large number of white strips were used to build a half-finished building, and the materials were also consumed. If this doesn't run, those material dealers will collapse and start to collect accounts instead of providing building materials.
They can't afford it, and they have indebted themselves to countless debts, only to be secured by half-finished buildings.
At that time, I was also a fan of money, seeing these hot buildings day by day, seeing the hot rush of the sales office, and the mortgage conditions given by the real estate developer, I felt that if I really waited until it was built, the material would be more than doubled.
Where would they have expected that this is a pit, a huge pit that has empty gloves for their white wolf, which is more cheating than private equity.
Private placement is a personal act, and being taken away is just a personal bankruptcy. But the building materials of these houses involve all kinds of industries, and once they collapse, it will be a frenzy that will sweep all industries in the United States, an unstoppable bankruptcy frenzy.
Countless steel bars, cement factories are going bankrupt, countless smelters and minerals are going bankrupt, and their impact will be chained, and it will be more tragic than Black Tuesday in previous years.
As news of an enemy attack on New York spread, private equity firms were left with temporary employees guarding their facades. They don't know where the boss has gone.
The gold of the banks in the cities was taken away by people one by one, one or two catties less, dozens of kilograms more, and these banks were shocked.
But they can't afford not to give it up, and if they can't do it, it will cause even more riots.
In these actions, the management of the housing site disappeared one by one, leaving a group of workers bored and waiting to arrange work. The sales offices also stopped selling, saying that they were waiting for the price to be repriced tomorrow.
The looming turmoil made these managers who had lived through the Great Depression smell danger, but they could not do anything about it. Roosevelt wanted to divert the public's attention, but gold had to be found. Otherwise. Once the exchange incident breaks out, it will be out of control.
In this tense atmosphere, Dong Ku returned to Washington, and then began to deploy.
As telegrams were sent out at the telegraph office, the United States was boiling in just an hour or two.
The exchange was bombed and all the bonds disappeared. All transaction records are also gone. The credibility of the newly restored point immediately erupted in the shadow of this once collapsed, and then the wildfire burned out of control.
All the people who still had money went crazy and started to withdraw gold. They understand that the disappearance of gold reserves means that the dollar is a blank slate. Last time the Great Depression evaporated hundreds of millions of dollars out of thin air, and this time it will still be so. Therefore, it is safe to hold the gold in your hands.
This is bad, the Morgan family, the Ross family and other financial giants were originally going to use their family wealth to save the American economy again, but this withdrawal was also affected by them.
It's not about the bank's credibility. Chase Bank's credibility is not worse than Citigroup's, and even higher, but the Morgan family is not a country, and he cannot guarantee that the dollar will not depreciate.
Therefore, as soon as the news was confirmed, those with identities and financial resources rushed to the bank to withdraw the dollars in their hands. Swap for gold.
Old Morgan looked at the crowd at the headquarters bank downstairs and didn't speak. But his serious expression has already shown that he has no way to deal with this withdrawal for the time being, and whether the family can survive this hurdle depends on the decision-making of the American political axe, but when it comes to credibility, he has not stopped the withdrawal. He's waiting. Wait for the political axe to come up with a plan, otherwise, he will not be able to bankrupt a political axe that is no longer able to maintain the value of the currency.
But other banks are not so high-spirited. Although they are also making withdrawals, they have slowed down and are ready to close at any moment. Even if the bank goes bankrupt. And they will do the same. Because if they don't, they'll go bankrupt, but there's still some gold left.
Roosevelt had gone mad by this time, and he didn't know how the news had leaked out, but he was powerless to stop the change. This requires thousands of tons of gold to support the withdrawal, not to mention the key is the exchange that will collapse again, where not only the United States itself invests, but also other countries.
Upon learning of the disappearance of gold reserves, those businessmen who had invested in the United States and owned a large amount of dollars immediately collapsed and racked their brains to find a solution. They knew the meaning of the evaporation of their wealth, and they began to extract gold when they could not find a solution to the political axe. At a time when gold withdrawals were restricted, some people thought of exchanging dollars for physical hoarding to resist the impact of the depreciation of the dollar.
As a result, in the wave of crazy withdrawal, the price of steel is rising at a rate of every minute. Oil, rubber, grain and other materials are growing like crazy. Those dollars seem to be paper money, originally a few cents, this will be a yuan. I still can't buy it.
Inflation is even more violent at this moment, and what seems to be a prosperous scene is actually on the verge of collapse.
In just a few hours, major cities in the United States were thrown into chaos. The factory owners stopped production. They can't turn the things in their hands into worthless dollars, and keeping the industry and materials in the trapped villages is at least wealth, and keeping the dollars is looking for death.
As a result, the rush to buy in just a few hours made many people understand that the ticket in their hand is not necessarily money, but the paper may be the largest.
Countries are also in turmoil and are looking for solutions to the impact of the depreciation of foreign exchange. On the contrary, these countries that are caught in the war are already wartime economies, and they have nothing to care about whether the dollar depreciates or not, and even if the dollar collapses, they will not have much impact.
When the United States was completely in chaos, Dong Ku, the initiator, put his ear on Liu Ruji's stomach, which was already like a basin, and listened to the little guy playing inside, stretching out his fists and kicking legs, with a happy face.
Liu Ruji, this will be regarded as real happiness, she has opened Longxiang International, and now it is operated by Uncle Tie, she is waiting for the birth, at most more than a month, the child can be born.
And the man she fancied returned to serve her in her busy schedule, which made all her previous unhappiness and worries disappear. Women, what more can you ask for?
"Husband, there will be no fewer dead people in this economic storm."
Liu Ruji didn't have a trace of reluctance, and shouted out the words of her husband that Dong Ku wanted her to call very freely, and said somewhat unbearably.
"If so, there are far fewer people who die like this. And our own losses are minimal. Speaking of which, I am considered merciful. ”
Dong Ku took his face away from Liu Ruji's belly, and said with a smile: "If the United States doesn't control it, once they swell, the number of people who die in the war under their hands will be several times as many as now, so. It can be regarded as the best way to contain this bloody occurrence in advance. ”
Liu Ruji's face was happy, and she stretched out her hand to hold Dong Ku's hand that covered her clothes, and she didn't have time to withdraw it: "Is that husband ready to save the city?" ”
"Save!"
Dong Ku's eyes flashed. Controlling the lifeblood of the American economy, this is what he has wanted to do for a long time, or he would not have gone to great lengths to make so many of them.
He wanted to destroy the United States, but it was unrealistic at that time. The United States' unique geographical environment makes landing operations the most difficult, unless it gains a foothold in Canada or Mexico and then attacks by land. Only then will there be a foundation to attack the United States. But the length of the supply line is destined to make the war fall into high investment, which is not in his interests, not to mention, and the manpower and material resources are not what he can afford at present.
Therefore, to control the economic lifeline of the United States, to reduce the United States to a second-rate country, after the war with China, Germany, the Soviet Union and other countries on the same starting line. At that time, it still existed. But there is no chance of becoming a hegemon again.
Looking at Dong Ku, whose momentum had risen sharply, Liu Ruji smiled. She knew that the man she liked had already made a comprehensive plan, so she didn't continue the topic, but changed the conversation and said, "Husband, is Sister Linglong here?" ”
"If you send it, I'm afraid your sister Linglong won't be able to come for the time being. Back there are several countries that want to issue currencies and launch the euro in the whole world, and she is busy, she wants to come, but I didn't let her come. ”
Dong Ku said apologetically.
"It's fine. It's important to be busy with business, and I really want to give birth to the child as soon as possible, so that I can help you like Sister Linglong. ”
A trace of loss disappeared in a flash, and Liu Ruji said with a smile.
Looking at Liu Ruji, Dong Ku didn't know what she was thinking? No matter how hot the catering industry is, it is better to help her do things for herself, so that she can feel more secure.
Stretching out his hand, he gently helped Liu Ruji to tease Liuhai, and said with a smile: "Ruji, you take care of the child first, I don't need you to help me in the past two years, and when the child can leave, there is really a very important thing that you need to do." ”
"Really!"
Liu Ruji's delicate face showed surprise, and he grabbed Dong Ku's hand and asked, "Husband, what's the matter?" Is it as important as what Sister Linglong did? ”
Dong Ku gently shook her hand with his backhand and said: "In the future, this matter will be more well-known than the Eurasian Development Bank, and will become the focus of the world's world, and it will also be the industry with the most income under my umbrella, and it is also the most beautiful industry." ”
"Great!!"
Liu smiled like a child. At this moment, she is no longer worried that she will help Dong Ku less than Shui Linglong, she is not competing for favor, but out of the nature of a career-oriented woman, she always has to do something big.
"If you send ......"
Dong Ku was just about to tell Liu Ruji what he was going to do in the future, but an aggressive knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Liu Ruji hurriedly withdrew his hand, subconsciously sat inside, and looked up at the door.
Dong Ku smiled, withdrew his hand and turned his head and shouted, "Come in." ”
Zuo Boyang pushed the door in response and walked over with a document.
"Captain, this is a message from Fugo Island, the Fierce Son's fleet security division has passed through Fugo Island and is heading south, and there is no search around it."
Zuo Boyang said as he handed Dong Ku a telegram.
Dong Ku took the telegram and read it quickly, knowing that Mengzi's fleet had safely converged, and used the headset to inform the personnel there on Fugo Island, so that there was no need to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the US army.
After reading it, he handed the message back to Zuo Boyang and took the document.
The document is Hardik's plan for the implementation of the plan for the treasury. Hardik was one of the first Jews on Crescent Island who came to the United States to set up an industry, and Hardik opened a small bank called Shengtong, which was not very large in Washington and belonged to the category of small banks.
Dong Kuzhi said that it would not be a good idea to let the Development Bank control the US economy alone, and the rescue of the market could not be all done by the Development Bank, so as not to be suspected of being planned by this side. In this way, there will need to be another bank to stabilize the US currency and prevent it from depreciating too much and causing a financial collapse in the world.
Hardik's bank has been in business for more than a year, has a good reputation, and is gradually expanding in scale, but the specific strength of the outside world is certainly not known to the outside world.
It was a document offering a loan of 500 tons of gold, which was transferred to him in exchange for real estate and private placement, plus a small amount of gold from the salvage of a Spanish shipwreck in the Florida Strait, and a dividend from the sale of weapons in Canada.
After reading the document, Dong Ku felt that there might still be implementation. The United States is now on the verge of financial collapse, and once all countries join this storm, the depreciation of the dollar will not be a question of recovery, but a question of whether it can still exist.
He pondered carefully with his fascinated eyes, then handed back the document and said: "Inform Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Hawaii to prepare, and start acting in half a month." This plan passes, but be prepared to control the situation and avoid problems with Hardik. ”
"Yes!"
Zuo Boyang was ordered to leave.
Liu Ruji didn't speak, just quietly watched Dong Ku deal with things. She didn't know what big things were going on with Dong Ku, but when she heard the names of three places she wasn't very familiar with, she still felt that Dong Ku was going to make a big move.
She didn't know that the law that ceding land required war was not certain, and that it could be done in other ways.
As for whether the Americans are dead or alive, although she can't bear it, she doesn't feel that these powers have anything to sympathize with. (To be continued......)
