Chapter 296: No Way
Although Dave and Mindy's IQs have improved because of NZT-48, when it comes to IQ, they are still not as good as the natural genius, Tony Stark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What, the stock market, does that thing have anything to do with Dr. Doom?" Dave was noncommittal about Tony's claim, but Mindy was a little excited and asked curiously.
"Possibly, we can look at the logic in this." Tony smacked his mouth and commented, "This wine is not bad, I like it......"
"Tony!" Although Dave also felt that the stock market was too far away from them, he still expected Iron Man to provide him with some ideas, so he was a little resentful of Tony's digression before he finished speaking.
"Well, let's see it this way." Tony paused, he didn't need to organize his thoughts, just let the other people's attention come over, "The ultimate goal of Dr. Doom is the Tinder Source, the Mind Gem and the Reality Gem. To do this, he needs to trigger a battle between humans and Transformers, while weakening the forces on both sides so that he can attack the Infinity Stones and the Tinder Source, right? ā
"Well, that's the most probable, and judging by recent events, that should also be his goal."
"Let's do the math that this is one of the goals! We are the first to assume that Doctor Doom will use any means to provoke war in order to achieve this goal, and hope that none of our superheroes will be able to stop him from achieving his goal. ā
"It's a reasonable assumption." Superman nodded in agreement.
"Now, Doctor Doom has used an event to stir up the racial contradictions between humans and the Transformers, according to Superman, he may also use this incident in turn to deepen the panic, but these racial contradictions may be able to boil in the past few days, but in a sane modern society, they can't cause wars, the country is not stupid, they can see that there is no benefit in fighting with the Transformers now, and our contradictions are not so big."
"Well, that's what I thought before." Dave said.
"Therefore, what Dr. Doom needs to do more is to amplify the contradictions and create interests, for this, he will also do whatever it takes, and he is likely to use financial means." Tony cocked his fingers, "This method is very stealthy, but it works. ā
"How?"
"He only needs to create a financial crisis, and the economy of the whole planet will collapse, do you know how Germany, Italy and Japan got out of recession during the years of the Great Depression?"
"They started World War II." Mindy replied, "You mean, if the world is in recession, humanity will take the initiative to go to war with the Transformers?" However, the economic crisis is not the whole cause of World War II, there are fascists and Hydra's actions? There are no fascists in the leaders of various countries now! ā
"Yes, it does." Tony nodded, agreeing with Minty's words, "However, the economic crisis is the source of the war, the fundamental contradiction, because the people no longer have confidence in the economy, so it is necessary to divert the domestic contradiction and restore production through the war." While it is not necessary that an economic crisis will inevitably lead to war, it does give Doctor Doom the possibility of easily triggering a war. Let's just put it simply, the current Transformers parade is not annoying, they are blocked in the middle of the street, does it affect normal economic activities, and at that time, those who have lost money and even gone bankrupt, will they still have reason? ā
A rhetorical question, but it calmed several people, and the more Dave and the others thought about it, the more they felt that Tony made sense, and this matter was very likely.
Is it possible for man to be sane forever? No way!
If people who can afford to eat cake and drink red wine suddenly can only nibble on white steamed buns every day, or can't even nibble on steamed buns, and can only drink large porridge, can they keep their sanity? No way!
If they live in a house, if people who can afford to drive a car suddenly sleep on the streets every day, and a family lives in a bridge and a cave, and they are scared every night, can they keep their sanity? No way!
If everyone around them has a denunciation of something, if all the people who have suffered losses have found a target to blame, will they be able to keep their senses? No way!
So, if there really is a global economic crisis, if all the big capitalists lose a lot, even if humanity and the Transformers really fight, it is reasonable.
"There's a problem here, though." Dave thought for a moment and said, "While the economic crisis could indeed be Dr. Doom's conspiracy, how can you tell that this is a precursor to an economic crisis just from the stock market crash this afternoon, or rather, how do you know that this is Dr. Doom's ghost?" As far as I know, the economy itself fluctuates cyclically, and the stock market doesn't go up and down? ā
"Intuition, or what?" Tony tilted his head, "I didn't think of this possibility before, so I didn't look into it carefully, but ......"
Tony's hand began to swipe the screen quickly, typing words and data that Dave couldn't read.
The three of them immediately fell silent, quietly waiting for Tony's operation to be completed.
After about five minutes, the light and shadow on the virtual screen were fixed on a line segment diagram, and Tony frowned, and pondered for a moment before he spoke again: "Ah...... This time the global financial market, indeed, is a bit strange, the big fall started yesterday, and it is not the kind of cyclical fluctuations, today there is no rebound, but continues, at an even more terrible rate...... Although I didn't study finance in college, I can also see that although the crash simulated the process of bubble bursting and demand declining, the bubble in the steel energy market was obviously not bursting, it was artificial, and a large amount of capital was hitting the global market. ā
As soon as Tony's hand was lifted, the screen zoomed in and appeared in front of the other three.
But of course, in the face of the dazzling, tangled lines, and the large amount of data, Dave and Mindy are confused, they have not read the book on this at all, and they don't know anything about it, so they almost pose mosquito coil eyes like in the comics.
"It's not easy for that big capital to hit the market like this......" Superman understood a lot of things, and said, "However, at the same time, it has to impact so many multinational industries, and affect the entire financial market, this kind of strength must be national capital!" ā
"That's right, only the country can have the strength to come up with so much money to impact the entire market, and I guess the country behind this scene should be Latvia, the country controlled by Dr. Doom, does he want all the countries on the planet to die with him?"
"Is that really the case?" Dave asked, uncertain.
"Most likely, we can't find any evidence...... Tony said.
"So what are we going to do, how are we going to stop this economic crisis?"
"......" Tony was silent in vain, and finally shook his head a little dazedly, "There is no way, we have no way. ā
