Saudi Arabia, which was ordered by the United States, announced its withdrawal from the OPEC price agreement this spring and announced a large-scale increase in production, which also directly led to the decline in international oil prices.

Although the Middle Eastern tycoon privately hinted to Moscow in advance because of the missile relationship between the two countries, it was of no avail.

The evil plan of the United States to drain the treasury of the Soviet Union will not come to an abrupt end just because a younger brother sends a message to the other side.

In fact, the United States also has an off-the-board move, that is, the release of the national strategic petroleum reserves.

In 1991, Saudi Arabia tripled its oil production, while the United States released a large amount of strategic petroleum reserves, causing the price of oil to fall to $8 per barrel on the international market.

At that time, the cost of oil production in Siberia in the Soviet Union was nine dollars per barrel, and the poor situation of making ends meet became the only trigger for the comprehensive collapse of Guomin's economy.

The end result is that a behemoth that can compete with the Western world will quickly disappear in a short period of time.

The chicken is not pessimistic about this: "Fortunately, we only need to persist for five years, if there is no turnaround by then, and even the situation we will face is more severe, we can only say that we have wasted thirty years of advanced knowledge for no reason!" ”

Already the year before last, the alliance implemented a program to reduce military aid to half a billion dollars.

It has also signed grain and arms barter agreements with South Africa, Brazil, Argentina and other countries, and can exchange weapons for each other's grain.

At the same time, we should vigorously develop high and new technologies, promote industrial transformation, and focus our exports on light industry, which is dominated by electronic products.

This combination played an important role in buying respite for the Soviet Union when the United States tightened the noose.

The foreign exchange reserves of the Union treasury have increased this year and have reached $105.3 billion, which is at an unprecedentedly favorable level.

It can be said that the established strategy, implemented in advance, helped the Soviet Union to build an economic defense barrier between the enemy and us.

When the country imports the bulk commodities it needs, it has greatly reduced its foreign exchange consumption, which has also allowed the United States to hit cotton hard.

Conversely, if you only think that the Yankees will only use the weapon of oil prices, you are very wrong.

When it comes to the use of "non-bloodshed weapons", Uncle Sam has the most experience in the world.

How can this country, which rules the world with its own currency, give up any opportunity to suppress its mortal enemies when it is right, even its own allies can be sacrificed?

So the question is, what is the "right time"?

For example, in June this year, after the Kremlin held a high-profile Victory Day military parade, the "Sentinel" defense exhibition, and the Union Import and Export Fair.

The United States pulled its own friends to give the whole world, including the Soviet Union, a blow to the head.

On June 22, 1985, U.S. Treasury Secretary James Brown Beck, Federal German Finance Minister Gerhardt? Stoldenberg, French Finance Minister Pierre? Bergberg, British Finance Minister Nigel? Lawson, as well as Japanese Finance Minister Noboru Takeshita.

Representatives, including the presidents of the five countries, held a foreign exchange consultation meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

In the end, the governments of the five countries jointly intervened in the foreign exchange market, resulting in the gradual downward adjustment of the US dollar against major international currencies such as the British pound, franc, mark, and yen.

Its purpose was clear: to help the United States solve its own huge trade deficit and at the same time to hit the Soviet Union's foreign trade exports.

And the biggest sacrifice is made by Japan, which on the surface is very different from American goods, and cannot form a direct impact.

However, with the sharp appreciation of the yen, a large amount of liquidity entered the stock market and the real estate market.

In the nearly five years since the Plaza Accord, Japan's stock price has grown at a rate of 30% per year and land prices at a rate of 15% per year.

The economic bubble completely shook off the real and ran wildly, and the most terrifying thing is that Japan's average GDP in the past five years is only 5%.

Subsequently, the Japanese government also intervened forcibly in a vain attempt to burst the economic bubble and bring the country's economy back on the normal track.

Stock prices and land prices have indeed fallen by nearly half in a short period of time, but they have caused a lot of bad debts on the part of banks.

It also plunged the Japanese economy into a two-decade recession, and has been in a slump ever since.

"By the way, Lilia told me that a windfall has come in!"

I also have to thank the United States, Japan, and the G5 (the five Western countries), without you, the deity really couldn't make this money.

With the yen rising from 250 to 200 against the dollar in three months, it rose by as much as 20%.

The huge amount of $5 billion that Miji spent in advance has also paid off quite well.

The net profit of $6.3 billion is not too much, and it is not too much to say less.

"Hehe, this is their deserved reward!"

The big pineapple also made the Soviets buy yen options in large quantities, and now it's time for a bumper harvest.

If this meeting is fake, it is specifically for the purpose of bringing the alliance into the set.

Then it shows that the actor president is gambling with the American economy, and if he is not careful, he will hold back internal injuries.

The chicken is also betting that this product simply can't afford to play such a win-lose Sho-hand game.

If only 10 billion US dollars (the chips of the second-hand youth + big pineapple) can slow down the alliance economy for a year.

These two gamblers must have directly packed a piece for the next ten years, because it is too cost-effective.

"As long as the sun is far away and the upper limit of appreciation is not reached, we can continue to bet!"

Anyway, everyone is here to share the food, and the Yankees shouldn't mind if the deity drinks some soup too.

The arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, which was in a white-hot stage, cost enormously, and the proportion of fiscal revenue occupied was increasing year by year.

This not only made the Soviets feel powerless, but also exhausted the Yankees, who had to move in to rescue the troops.

And at the moment, the Japanese are the best back-up men around the actor president.

The U.S.-Japan alliance gives the world's largest creditor country no reason not to do its part.

“…… Cheers! Big Pineapple doesn't refuse such a small test

For the sake of his health, the doctor advised him to give up spirits altogether, but he could still drink wine with a very low alcohol content.

Making money from a shocking conspiracy laid by the United States to bring down Japan is enjoyable even if you think about it.

It's as amazing and wonderful as those Hollywood blockbusters that this kid offers.

But this is a real thing, and those made-up plots can't be compared.

Feeling a little drunk, the big pineapple in a very good mood continued: "At the beginning of the year, the Americans slandered us for deliberately indulging the exchange rate and demanded that we make a sharp appreciation of the ruble against the dollar. But now it seems that they have realized that this is simply not possible, so they have taken matters into their own hands. ”

The appreciation of the ruble against the US dollar is equivalent to the depreciation of the US dollar against the ruble, but the ruble is only the official price, which is a non-world currency and is not directly linked to major currencies such as the US dollar.

The Soviet Union has been tightly locking the ruble at 1.3 against the dollar, and even if the economy has improved, there is still no sign of loosening or changing.

Both the US Treasury and the US Federal Reserve demanded that Moscow appreciate the ruble to 1.5 or even 1.6, but the latter simply ignored it.

The media on the other side of the ocean immediately launched an offensive of public opinion, declaring: the self-righteous Soviets are using the false exchange rate to export goods in large quantities, which is a despicable act of maliciously overdrawing the country's credit!

In response to Washington's verbal and written criticism, the Kremlin spokesman said: The Soviet Union is an independent and powerful country and will not be at the mercy and instigation of any hegemonic lackeys!

But this was not enough to export bad anger for the coalition, and Pravda immediately wrote: the cost of producing dollars is almost zero, and the Fed can produce them in batches at the push of a few buttons.

The large line of words in the note next to it is very powerful: it doesn't seem to be enough, and I want to print a thousand tons anymore???

The Red Star mocked: Did the compilers write a mistake in the last fiscal year when the US debt was so high, or did their money printing machine break?

For this reason, the master was specially asked to match a witty and humorous cartoon.

A maintenance worker stood helplessly in front of the money printing machine with a wrench, and the US Secretary of the Treasury asked him why he hadn't repaired it yet, and the other party had to say: I will only repair the conventional-powered money printing machine, not the nuclear-powered one!

Soviet Foreign Minister Volotnikov hit the nail on the head: The United States, as the producer of world currency, has an unshirkable responsibility for global inflation. The economic scare of any country is related to the dollar! In fact, the development of the United States is based on the exploitation of the whole world, especially many developed countries!

Aliyev, the second-in-command in charge of the economy, said to the outside world relatively modestly: The accusations against the ruble exchange rate are incorrect, irrational, and inappropriate excesses, and if you don't want your country's economy to fall into a trough, it's best to be vigilant enough against the dollar, because this kind of green banknote is the root of all evil!

Big Pineapple didn't say anything, but the others had already said the same, and they could basically represent him.

According to reports published by the US media, the Soviet Union's military spending reached $286 billion last year, accounting for about 21.34% of GDP.

This year's defense budget is estimated at $313 billion, an increase of 9.44 percent.

Based on a GDP of $1.4 trillion, it accounts for 22.36% of GDP this year.

By comparison, last year's GDP was as high as $3.87 trillion, and military spending was only $249.8 billion, or only 6.45% of GDP.

The implication of this contrast is that the economic restructuring pursued by the Union has reached a dead end that cannot be reversed.

However, military spending has remained high and has continued unabated, which shows its strategy of reckless military force.

Any country when its defense budget accounts for more than 20% of the country's gross domestic product.

It will bring the country's economy to the brink of collapse, and at the same time bear an extremely heavy financial burden.

Although this is only an analysis and speculation made by the American media, since the USSR has never published its own military spending.

However, in order to defend against the United States and the NATO bloc, successive alliance leaders have adopted this costly offensive strategy.

Moreover, the Soviet Union's military spending utilization rate was lower than that of the United States, and in order to maintain a rough balance of power, military spending could be 120% or even more of the enemy's.

For the new equipment that is constantly emerging in the Soviet army, especially those displayed in the Victory Day parade.

The American media also classified it as a luxury item, and believed that the production of these high-tech weapons must be extremely expensive.

Moscow firmly denied this, and pointed out: the largest military bloc in the world is NATO, and the biggest hegemonic country is the United States! The Soviet Union's defense budget has always been within the limits of its national strength, and there is no need for any side to worry about it. The West is doing this in order to spy on the military intelligence of the Soviet Union!

Sweden's Stockholm International Peace Research Institute believes that the actual military expenditure of the Soviet Union is neither as small as the Soviet Union officially claimed, nor as large as the US official claims.

As for the exact amount, perhaps only they themselves know.

A number of Western media have synthesized the data given by various parties, and after some scientific calculations by relevant experts, they finally believe that the Soviet Union's military spending is about 270 billion to 290 billion US dollars.

Historically, the Soviet Union's military spending has been a mystery of much concern.

To this end, the CIA also established a "Soviet Evaluation Office" to assess the Soviet Union's military activities and economic development potential, so as to calculate Soviet military spending.

Seeing that the time was ripe, in order to completely confuse the United States and NATO, the alliance offered another killer weapon.

Defense Minister Marshal Akhromeyev told major media: "We have been able to prepare a 10-year military refitting plan for 1986-1995, which will be implemented in two five-year phases, and some equipment has already been delivered to front-line combat units. ”

The plan envisages the replacement of 10,000 new main battle tanks, 10,000 infantry fighting vehicles, 200 air defense systems, 2,000 helicopters, 2,000 fighter-bombers, four large aircraft-carrying cruisers (aircraft carriers), four missile cruisers, 20 destroyers, 50 frigates, 20 nuclear submarines, and 50 conventionally powered submarines for the four major conventional services (army, navy, air force, and air defense forces).

The official announcement of the plan will cost a total of one trillion rubles, that is, the equipment ordered by the chicken from the movie space, plus the part produced by the alliance itself.

As for the specific delivery speed, the second-hand young people did not dare to pack tickets.

Anyway, as long as the system does not fail, it should be able to be sent over as scheduled, and it is to fool the Yankees.

How many new weapons the Soviet army is equipped with, it is simply impossible for the White House and the Pentagon to figure out.

The T-54/55s in the Alliance's inventory have been shipped to the Middle East theater and will not be loaded with such mobile scrap metal in the future.

Not only them, but also the T-62/64, which has a total of 10,000 units, will also be temporarily sent to warehouses as a strategic reserve.

In the future, the main battle tank of the Soviet Army will be the T-90MS or T-84M, and the second-line troops and partners will be equipped with the T-72.

The expensive T-80s will not be easily abandoned, they will be fully upgraded to bring them to the operational level of the T-84 "Bastion".

Before all these big guys return to the factory, they will also play a leading role in Poland and shake the NATO bloc by a small amount.

The large-scale military exercises "West-85", supervised by the Chief of the General Staff Marshal Ogarkov and presided over by the Chief of the Army Staff Marshal Valennikov, took place on the Baltic coast in mid-September.

A few years ago, with the NATO bloc as the imaginary enemy, the "West-81" mobilized almost all branches of the armed forces, including mechanized infantry, armored troops, artillery, anti-chemical warfare units, missile units, airborne troops, marines, and aviation units.
