Chapter 661: Unbearable Economic Losses

Immediately after, the United States announced the temporary closure of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ market, the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and all major stock exchanges stopped trading. At 10:22 a.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. stock market announced a market closure, and the opening time will be announced to the public according to the situation.

The foreign exchange market reacted quickly, and there was a sharp shock in the aftermath of the disaster, with the pound hitting a six-month high against the dollar, peaking at $1.469 per pound sterling, compared to $1.462 per pound sterling, and rising to $0.909 per euro before the incident, when the euro was trading at $0.8975 per euro against the dollar.

European stock markets took a heavy hit, with the DAX 30 index falling 8.5% in Frankfurt and the Financial Times 100 index falling 4.9% on the news.

Soon, all Latin American stock markets came to a halt.

Affected by the suspension of the U.S. market, Asian stock markets have also been affected, especially the Nikkei and South Korean stock markets, which have fallen sharply, and the Hong Kong stock index has also been affected.

The President of the United States urgently summoned the Homeland Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency and other departments, demanding that the truth must be ascertained as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the President of the United States addressed the White House.

"Good afternoon, today, in New Jersey, on Wall Street, we have been hit by a series of premeditated and inhumane terrorist attacks. In this attack, we had more than 30 citizens killed and nearly 100 injured. I mourn in silence for their misfortune. Our hearts are filled with jealous grief and wordless, uncompromising anger. The purpose of the terrorists is to intimidate our country and plunge the United States into chaos. ”

"But they are doomed, our country is very strong, our great people have taken action, bravely defended our motherland, terrorist attacks can destroy Wall Street, but they will not destroy the iron will of the American people."

"After the incident. We immediately activated the government's emergency response plan, and our army is the most powerful, and they are well prepared. I have ordered all intelligence and justice departments to work together to identify those responsible and bring them to justice. ”

"We will treat terrorists and those who harbour them equally, and we will not tolerate them. Today. I ask you to pray with me. Pray that they will find strength and comfort from Psalm 23. The United States has defeated its enemies before, and we can do it this time, thank you, and may God bless America. ”

Although the President of the United States only mentioned Wall Street briefly, Wall Street was the most damaged place in this attack.

The bombing of Wall Street and the closure of the New York Stock Exchange will collapse the US economy. The answer is, no.

But it is certain to cause significant losses.

The U.S. government responded very quickly. The next day, the major financial institutions were back up and running, and the major financial institutions on Wall Street had their own data backups, and they were all stored in other cities, such as the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ, with a total of four storage centers in the United States.

The data is transmitted there at the speed of light and then stored, so that even if the NYSE is bombed, it will not leave its data empty.

But the losses are still huge, the New York Stock Exchange's trading system collapsed, and its losses are calculated in minutes, about 3 billion to 5 billion losses in a minute, and finally Wall Street gave a report that the United States lost a total of 300 billion in this missile attack, and the consequences are serious.

Any volatility on Wall Street is global, American finance is a global product, and European countries have also suffered certain losses in this round of attacks.

The video that Muyang put on the Internet was constantly hyped and played by the media, and the US intelligence department also analyzed it and used it as important evidence.

The FBI director reported to the president: "The number one suspect, 'Abdukhaliq,' who is the person in this video, has carried out terrorist bombings in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and France, and claims that this is to make a name for the Xinjiang Tunist group, and they want to create a new group that is stronger than al-Qaeda." ”

"After analysis, we felt that the video was recorded in the United States, and some details in the video revealed his real location, and a commercial banner with English was revealed."

"As for other information, if someone has caught it, don't tell me about these useless things, China was able to get his intelligence and warn us before, but why did the US intelligence agencies have no achievements and have no knowledge of the whereabouts of this terrorist, and let him cause such a serious bombing in the United States." Mr. President is still angry.

Although the loss of personnel this time is not large, but the economic loss is unbearable, the US government will lose a lot of money for this, just when he saw the loss report, his head hurts, before he was warned by many big conglomerates, yes, it is a warning, Wall Street's loss, the US government must bear.

God, the United States is now running deficits every year, and it lives on those big conglomerates, and no one dares to offend Wall Street, including Washington.

Moreover, these presidents also relied on the funding of big conglomerates to come to power, and the supporters behind them, how could they not ask him to contribute to his own group at such a time.

Now Mr. President's idea is how to appease the anger of the domestic consortium and then direct the fire to other places.

Terrorists are definitely a good target for.

"After the analysis of weapons experts, the bomb used by the terrorists this time was an electromagnetic pulse bomb, and its power is equivalent to the power of the electromagnetic strength of a weak nuclear bomb, which is why it caused such a heavy loss, and after material analysis, it is ......"

At this, the FBI director paused and looked at Mr. President.

"Speaking of which, what is the result of the analysis, it was made by that country, if it is a Middle Eastern country, I will make them pay the price, even if it is China and Russia, we will ask for an explanation."

"After expert analysis, this bomb is our American technology, although it is still in the research laboratory stage, but it can already be manufactured into a finished product, I don't know how those terrorists got it, we have collected some shrapnel wreckage, after analysis, it is also produced in the United States."

"Our own bomb?" Mr. President's eyes widened.

"Check, we must strictly check all possible channels of outflow, find out those moths, and catch the terrorists." (To be continued.) )
