Chapter 368: Goodbye, Wall Street! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Nov. 26, 7 a.m. ET.
Long Island, New York, located east of Manhattan, is a real rich area, where there is no hustle and bustle of Manhattan and drunken fans, only the low-key but rich temperament.
One regal manor after another, scattered across the narrow islands, idyllic and serene.
Paul. Schiff got up early in the morning, stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling glass window, held a quilt of coffee in his hand, and drank and watched the dazzling nascent days of the East, while pondering how much the U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar would pull back.
In fact, in the past two years, as the two world empires, the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom, have moved from cooperation to confrontation, and the degree of confrontation has been intensifying, US stocks, US bonds, and US dollars have all been "very beautiful"! Although Zhuge Weijiu, Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille wanted to make Paris a white financial center that replaced London, they could not see how big the United States was and how big France was. And France will destroy the door of creditors one moment, cut off the heads of rich people at another, and produce an emperor who fights endlessly...... That's it, and it still wants to be an international financial center?
Therefore, when the European capitalists saw that Britain might be in danger, they began to look to the United States. Paul Brown, the head of the Schiff family, who once came out of Frankfurt's Jewish Street to the world with the old neighbors upstairs and downstairs of the Rothschild family. Schiff came to New York with tens of millions of pounds (some of which belonged to him, but most of it was his client), ready to make a big splash in the New World.
Because the capital and talent from Europe are constantly running to the United States, although the United States has a strange president who is bent on closing down his country's central bank, still wants to do a good job of industrialization, and wants to build the country as a farmer all the time, the US economy is still too good to be true. In the past two years, the United States has undoubtedly been the fastest growing economy in the world.
And U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar, of course, are also extremely strong, and Wall Street capital, which controls U.S. finance, can make money even while lying down...... The news that the Norfolk naval base had been bombed by the Japanese just came last night. Schiff seems to be absolutely unable to interrupt America's upward trend.
Because Americans are "everyone has a gun and is not afraid of war", and they are far more numerous than the Japanese in Texas and the native white people in Mexico. Even if the land conflict in Texas escalates into a full-scale war, the United States will win even if it takes human lives.
And the Atlantic Ocean is far away from the Ming mainland, and it is almost impossible for the Ming Navy to attack on a large scale...... Otherwise, the Ming would not have fostered the Mexican Empire and the Republic of Colombia as agents.
However, the United States is already an industrialized country that can produce its own battleships and armored cruisers, and it is by no means something that the Mexican Navy and the Colombian Navy, which rely on the support of high-priced arms purchases, can confront it.
Although the "Texas Japanese Overseas Maritime Self-Defense Force" created by the Ming Dynasty without the help of its agents can create some trouble for the United States, the long distance has already determined that this "Texas Maritime Self-Defense Force" will not be able to succeed in the end.
And as long as the United States can force Da Ming back at home, then her national fortunes will be counted!
So, Paul. Schiff was going to leave the house early today, and he had to rush to the Wall Street office by 9 o'clock, and then have a meeting with his traders to take advantage of the panic selling triggered by the bombing of the Norfolk base.
Just as he was about to hurry out, he suddenly heard the voice of his wife, Lusa from another Jewish family, the Warburg family: "Honey, do you see that? There are many small black dots in the eastern sky, which seem to be flying towards us! ”
"Little black dots in the sky? What kind of seabird, right? "Paul. Schiff squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of his wife's finger, and he saw that there were quite a few of them, dozens of them, and they were flying very fast, and in a short time they were flying to Paul. Schiff's mansion was empty.
This time Paul. Schiff has already seen the true colors of those "little birds"!
"Oh my God, that's an airplane!" Paul. Schiff exclaimed.
His wife, Lusa, asked, "Is that our plane?" ”
"No, that's not our plane," said Paul. Schiff shook his head, "We don't have such a good plane......"
Paul. In the past few months, Schiff has met with many American "aircraft inventors" who have come to look for investment, and although those people have also come up with some planes that can fly, none of them can compare with those biplanes that are about to fly over their heads...... And as far as he knows, now the US naval aviation, army aviation also do not have such good aircraft.
"And whose planes do they belong to?" Lusa asked.
"yes, whose planes are they?" Paul. Schiff watched as the planes got closer and closer, wondering who these planes were that looked so good. Which company produces it? Is it listed? What is the share price?
Just as he was concentrating, dozens of planes that suddenly appeared got closer and closer, and then almost stuck to Paul. The Schiff family mansion flew overhead, and Paul . Schiff could see the bombs hanging under the bellies of the planes and the three-leaf sunflower logo under the wings.
"Damn, it's the Japanese, no, it's the planes of the Chinese, they're coming to New York!"
Paul. Schiff exclaimed, his hand shook, and he didn't even hold the coffee cup in his hand, and it fell to the floor with a thud and shattered. He didn't know how to clean up, so he just spread his legs and ran upstairs until he reached the roof platform of his big house, and then he looked up at the group of small planes flying in the direction of Manhattan, New York!
"God, they're going to blow up Manhattan...... They want to bomb the financial center of the United States! "Paul. Schiff exclaimed, his expression horrified.
As a capital elder, Paul. Schiff knows too well the attitude of capital to war - capital, of course, is not anti-war, but they are afraid of shells falling on their heads! And capital also hates the high taxes levied by governments that have been driven to the brink of bankruptcy by high military spending.
That's why capital on the European continent has been flowing to Britain, which has been relatively stable for the past 1200 years, and now to the United States, which is safer and has better development prospects...... But if the United States does not have the ability to guarantee the safety of Manhattan, New York, then capital will also run away!
If a bunch of bombs fall every three or five days, which big capitalist will still play with you? No matter how bad Britain is, London hasn't been bombed yet!
Paul. When Schiff felt that something was wrong, Lieutenant Feng Mingshan had already flown his winged "Double Dragon" over Manhattan, New York, the future city of white capital.
At this time, Manhattan is not full of skyscrapers, but the buildings below ten floors are already dense, everywhere, at first glance it looks a bit similar to Fengmingshan's new hometown of Shanghai Tang, but it is not as prosperous as Shanghai, and the density of tall houses is also a little worse.
In addition, there are many construction sites in Manhattan...... There are actually construction sites everywhere, and there are at least one or two buildings under construction! You can also get a feel for the vibrancy of the city...... Maybe in time, New York might be able to catch up with Shanghai!
At this time, Feng Mingshan's headphones came from the voice of Captain Li Zhaoxun: "Everyone, we have arrived in the sky over New York...... Now start bombing freedom! Remember that we only have a quarter of an hour, blow up and go, don't stay! Also, be sure to pick a house that looks more expensive and blow it up!"
"Yes, sir!" Feng Mingshan answered, and then stretched his neck to look down, as if he wanted to sell the house below......
At this time, someone had already dropped bombs, and orange-red fires began to rise on the busiest streets of Manhattan, New York! And several of the bombs landed in the bank building next to the world-famous "Wall Street"!
