Chapter 544 Financial Turmoil and the Seizure of Grain Pricing Power
New Year's Eve.

Southeast of Mengjia Bay, the Grete Strait.

Tijuana Group's fleet of sailors entered Malacca in a show of force.

For the past three years, the fleet has used Sri Lanka as a logistical support base, roaming the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal.

目前拥有2艘蒂华纳级4万吨排水量两栖航母、6艘现代化阿利伯克级8000吨排水量驱逐舰、8艘带有风帆助力系统的万吨战列巡洋舰、20余艘商改补给舰、3艘核动力战略潜艇。

If we include the federal technology and Israeli technology that the Tijuana Group acquired through the Smith family, the Mariners' Fleet, in terms of overall combat power, is in no way inferior to the North American Fifth Fleet, which has three aircraft carriers.

The eastward advance of the Tijuana Group's sailors' fleet caused Singapore and Malaysia, two regions that had joined the Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area due to the deterrence of the Commonwealth and the three systems of military power, to surrender without resistance.

Rubber, herbs, coconuts, and coffee beans that were originally destined for ports such as South Vietnam, Xiamen, Qingdao, and Vladivostok were sealed off overnight.

Singapore, which had initially remained silent on the arrest of Chen Jianghe, chairman of Pacific Oil & Gas Company and Singapore Golden Eagle Group, lodged a protest overnight with the Nanyang Alliance Committee of the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau Economic Zone.

The Philippines and Japan, which had previously given up hope of North America's return to the Asia-Pacific region, suddenly began to tout the power of mold.

North America, the Great Lakes region.

Morgan Estate.

Morgan, whose hair and beard are now completely white, is 89 years old.

Sitting in his electric wheelchair, he learned about the changes in the Tijuana Group's sailor fleet through his hearing aid. A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. "I feel like I've seen this scene before."

Sitting next to him, Welch gently stirred his coffee. "Two years ago, on New Year's Eve, Yu Sanyuan presented the J-11B Pro Max and the J-14 close-up to the Fifth Fleet to the factory through a live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala."

"Yes, I remember now."

Old Morgan nodded and fell into deep thought.

In 06, although the dollar's dominance still existed and the dollar market had doubled in size compared to before the millennium, federal capital had already fragmented.

The Morgan financial group and the oil tycoon were allies, yet they were wary of each other.

The Morgan family, the oil tycoon, and the Smith and Brooks families were in a hierarchical relationship, but the latter two gradually slipped out of control.

Meanwhile, the Tijuana Group rose to prominence, but due to the heretical style of its members, it became estranged from capital.

New and old classes, democracy and republic, religious beliefs.

Torn apart.

The Smith family has now sidelined the Bush administration, while the Smith family's ally, Tijuana Corporation, is following the lead of the White House, controlled by the Bush family, and has entered Southeast Asia to suppress San Yuan Agriculture.

This inevitably led Morgan to suspect that Smith and Brooks were working together to exchange favors with Yu Sanyuan through subsequent actions, in order to suppress the Morgan Group and the oil tycoon.

"How much money did Old Smith borrow from Yu Sanyuan?"

Welch responded, "The $5000 billion, the €5000 billion, and the HK$3000 billion will be paid off within two years."

"Assuming the Tijuana Group-Sailor Fleet enters the South China Sea and is completely annihilated, will we lose control of the Indian Ocean?"

“We have 11 military bases in the Indian Ocean, including Diego Garcia and the Maldives. Due to the conflict in West Asia, the closure of the Persian Gulf, and the rampant piracy in the Gulf of Aden, it is now difficult for the Federal Fleet to deploy a carrier strike group in the Indian Ocean. If the Tijuana Group’s sailors’ fleet is completely wiped out, we will retreat to the Arabian Sea.”

After Welch finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and then said again, "This will also affect our influence over the Arabian Peninsula. You know, in the past few months, European and American capital has continued to pour money into the oil country, with a total investment of more than 2 trillion US dollars. Yu Sanyuan is a bandit. We cannot rule out the possibility that after he takes over the shipping route in the Indian Ocean, he will march westward and, in a sense, capture the oil country and pocket the 2 trillion US dollars of investment."

"Furthermore, during the period when Sanyuan Agriculture cooperated with us, the Mad Dog Think Tank made several attempts to issue US Treasury bonds, even going so far as to link the Hong Kong dollar to food and then back it with the Hong Kong dollar to issue US Treasury bonds."

"Yu Sanyuan already held a large amount of US Treasury bonds, and Old Smith borrowed nearly a trillion dollars from him, plus investments in the oil countries..."

"If Yu Sanyuan opens up the westward route and poses a military threat to West Asia, he can at least transfer 3 trillion US dollars of US debt to West Asia."

"As the red banknotes enter a depreciation cycle, they will be 'depreciated internally and appreciated externally' for a long time to come. It is expected that the exchange rate of the US dollar will fall below 1:7. Correspondingly, at this time, the US dollar will 'appreciate internally and depreciate externally'."

"If Yu Sanyuan successfully transfers 3 trillion US dollars in US debt and exchanges it all for US dollars, the international demand for US dollars will increase, and 'external depreciation' will turn into 'external increase'."

"If Yu Sanyuan manipulates the flow of these 3 trillion US dollars into North America, the US dollars, which should have appreciated internally, are very likely to experience 'internal depreciation'."

"With the Chinese yuan depreciating domestically and increasing internationally, and the US dollar depreciating domestically and increasing internationally, both sides are on the same starting line. It can be said that in this round of financial cycle, Yu Sanyuan used the tide of the Chinese yuan, like playing Tai Chi, to buffer the tide of the US dollar, making the global financial system more stable. The East should have suffered losses, but the East did not. North America should have profited, but North America did not."

"But the North American economy is sluggish while the Eastern economy is developing at an extremely high speed. This ebb and flow means that we have lost two or three decades of development."

After listening, old Morgan closed his eyes and rested for a long time. "So the eastward transfer of the Tijuana Group's sailors was a joint effort by old Brooks and old Smith, who instructed David to send a big gift to Yu Sanyuan."

Welch nodded. "If my guess about the currency strategy is correct, we will soon receive news of the Marines' disastrous defeat."

"The most important thing now is not Yu Sanyuan's struggle for the right to issue US Treasury bonds, but the fact that Bush, Smith, and David Engsger have joined forces."

Welch's expression hardened, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Should we recall our core military forces overseas to the mainland?"

"But I also worry that my suspicions are that Yu Sanyuan is deliberately misleading me so that our elite troops can return to the mainland so that he can go on a killing spree internationally."

Your concerns are not unfounded.

"What do you think?"

“Master, David Ensger is a religious madman. With his beliefs and style of doing things, it will be difficult for him to gain mainstream votes in North America, and it will also be difficult for him to enter the core power circle through elections. If we get rid of old Smith and make David the leader of the democratic faction, and then we make David confront the old Brooks family, which controls the Republican faction, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses.”

After listening, old Morgan closed his eyes to rest again.

for a long time.

"Can!"

...

New Year's Eve.

Construction site on Jing Shi West Road.

The mobile outdoor screen is playing a large-scale performance held at the Third Port of Vladivostok: Building a Big Ship.

Tens of thousands of ship engineers, wielding various tools and relying on building materials provided by thousands of laborers and automated equipment, are building a 10,000-ton transport ship at a visible speed in the vast shipyard, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.

Anyone who sees this scene would give a thumbs up and say "Awesome!"

Yu Yang held his teacup, reclining in the folding chair, quietly appreciating the moment.

Snowflakes began to fall again, but none of the migrant workers left the site.

Once the transport ship in the program is completed...

The factory secretary stepped forward and said, "Boss, the South Seas Joint Fleet has sailed from the southern waters toward Malacca, and the South Vietnamese shore-based missile cluster is also ready. It is expected that the Joint Fleet will meet the Marine Fleet in the northern part of the Karimano Strait tomorrow afternoon."

"Make a big show of it, but make sure to minimize the damage. Don't end up bringing back a bunch of junk."

"Understood, we are currently expediting the ammunition replacement."

After the factory secretary finished speaking, he took out a secret report from the intelligence system: "Two hours ago, Old Smith, along with Buffett and Soros, arrived in Hangaixi under the pretext of learning about and visiting the financial business of the trading hall. They then transferred to the factory's train and checked into the Dongyue Hotel in the western suburbs of Tai City."

"They've come here to seek refuge. After all, the penniless European Jewish capitalists, the Bush family who oppose Jewish capitalism, and the Morgan financial group that can't sleep soundly all want to devour North American Jewish capitalism."

Do we provide protection?

"It has been more than a year since the lady left. She must have been so lonely on the road and needed her beloved husband to accompany her."

"Us?" The factory secretary raised his hand and rubbed his neck.

"Forget it, for the sake of the top supporters, let's not stab each other in the back. Let fate decide, but Old Shi absolutely cannot die on our turf."

"clear."

After we finished talking, Lao Dong called.

In addition to offering New Year's greetings, they also brought news of the successful trial operation of the eighth hydropower station on the Yarlung Tsangpo River.

This means that Tibet, with a population of less than six million, has a total installed capacity of 2.4 units.

Once the power transmission and transformation project is completed, together with the border defense, the problem of electricity shortage in Tibet will be solved in one fell swoop.

Correspondingly, the third brother started causing trouble again.

He even boasted that once the Tejas fighter jet was rolled out, he would definitely teach Yu Sanyuan a lesson.

After ending the call with Lao Dong, Yu Yang, filled with curiosity, opened the AI ​​and searched for the Tejas fighter jet.

In another time and space, he must have heard of the glory that his brother had developed for nearly thirty years.

However, after checking the intelligence recently, I found that India's self-developed fighter jet is called the LCA fighter jet project. Almost all of its components, including the engine, are imported from abroad, and the first prototype was test-flown in 01.

On the contrary, the fifth-generation fighter jet that France is developing is called Tejas.

Yu Yang initially thought it was a time warp, but now it seems most likely that Third Brother bought the entire Tejas project and then gave the LCA fighter jet the nickname "Tejas".

The problem is that France's Tejas project was led by European shoguns. When the project was initiated, the original intention was to create the world's most powerful fifth-generation fighter jet. However, times have changed. In the dazzling world of air combat, not only has hypersonic speed become the mainstream, but also the integration of information warfare platforms has become standard.

This Frankenstein's monster, cobbled together from multiple companies, is hardly compatible with the 'military industry ecosystem'.

In other words, using France's early warning radar, Germany's fire control system, England's aerodynamic layout, Italy's large combat model... and then installing a Microsoft system, assuming the hardware is 10 out of 10, it would be quite good if the fighter jet could achieve 20% of its performance after takeoff.

Conversely, by using the oil country's early warning radar, oil country's fire control system, oil country's aerodynamic layout, oil country's large combat model, and then equipping it with the oil country's three-system underlying system, assuming a hardware score of 6, the fighter jet's performance can be utilized to the fullest extent after takeoff.

A score of 10 with 20% is far superior to a score of 6 with 90%. The former will definitely be crushed by the latter.

This is the power of ecology.

Therefore, the fifth-generation fighter jet, Tejas, which was developed under the leadership of France, looks good on the surface, but in reality it belongs to the third-and-a-half generation.

The Indian government's purchase of the seemingly fifth-generation fighter jet, which is actually a third-and-a-half-generation aircraft, is likely a waste of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Giving hundreds of billions to European Jews would be better than giving it to Sanyuan Agriculture to buy high-performance J-10 fighter jets.

At least the high-performance J-10 can easily outperform the Rafale.

Unfortunately, behind the Third Brother is Israel, and behind Israel is the Restoration Judaism, which originated from European and North American Judaism.

Now, Judea in Europe is selling good things to India, which is like the older brother cheating the younger brother, and Judea itself has no say in the matter.

Yu Yang closed the pages related to Radiance and casually browsed the forums for the three systems.

The top trending topic wasn't the factory's internal party.

Instead, it was the announcement on January 1, 2006, that the public grain quota was cancelled.

Although it is already the end of January in the Gregorian calendar and the public grain tax has been officially abolished, in the eyes of Easterners, the Spring Festival is the beginning of a new year.

The abolition of public grain tax marked the first time in 2600 years that farmers in the East had been subject to imperial grain tax.

As a result, there are a staggering 59.88 billion comments below, and the number is still growing rapidly.

The second most searched topic was the factory's internal party.

Before 10 p.m., the number of people watching online worldwide has exceeded 6 million.

This enabled Sanyuan Agriculture to achieve a leapfrog progress in the field of brand promotion.

The third spot on the trending search list was strongly recommended by financial players.

The content reads: Five minutes ago, Allen stepped down as chief economist of the Federal Reserve Board of North America, and Bernanke took over as chief economic advisor for North America.

Most ordinary people would hardly realize what had happened.

To put it simply…

Allen is a Judean from North America. He has served as the chief executive of the Federal Reserve since 1987, spanning six terms as the governor of North America. He is known as the global "economic czar" and "governor of the US dollar".

Its treatment in various countries is the same as that of the North American General Manager, and the 'economic engine data' in its briefcase is equivalent to the nuclear button in the hands of the North American General Manager.

Such a powerful figure, who had global influence before 2000, was also a hidden card in Old Smith's hand.

但2001年之后，北美先后遭遇纳斯达克泡沫、被欧洲犹资偷袭、被余三元接连瞎几把操作、联邦基金利率降到45年来最低的1%…截止06年，北美股市账面损失已经累计到6万亿美刀。

Allen gradually came under scrutiny.

In early 06, in particular, Allen predicted that North America was about to enter a new period of economic recession and end the longest period of economic expansion in North American history.

During the economic downturn, North American unemployment rose, the North American financial system experienced a major upheaval, and the status of the US dollar faced new challenges.

At the same time, it was proposed that the "rate hike plan of 25 basis points each time" would gradually reduce the economic stimulus policy.

However, raising interest rates means increasing debt, and the federal government's debt is already unacceptable, which has greatly displeased the Bush administration.

Normally speaking, Allen is backed by Smith, and the Democratic faction led by Smith has already sidelined the Bush administration, making it difficult for Bush to remove Allen from power.

But what if J.P. Morgan intervenes?

Morgan, who already saw old Smith as a potential threat, would find it easy to bring Allen down.

After Allen stepped down, whether it was Bush's people or Morgan's people who came to power, they were not members of the North American Judeo community.

Will Wall Street be convinced? Will the democratic faction be convinced? Will the Smith Foundation be convinced?
The North American financial and economic system is likely to be in a mess.

With the North American financial and economic turmoil and the instability of the US dollar market, those holding US dollars will inevitably sell them.

Yu Yang thought for a moment and had someone remove the third trending topic pushed up by the financial players, so as to prevent anyone in North America from seeing through his plans through player comments.

He then ordered his think tank to sell all their foreign exchange holdings, including Chinese banknotes, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese yen, euros, and Thai baht, and to focus on acquiring US dollars and US Treasury bonds.

At the same time, they contacted the Clintons to buy up the grain stored in the Americas after last fall's harvest.

Old Smith had no money.

Old Bush doesn't care about the power to set food prices.

Morgan Sr. should suspect Tijuana Group of not yet realizing the importance of food.

The oil tycoon is still obsessed with brain in a vat...

“Use euros, Japanese yen, etc. to exchange for depreciated US dollars, then use the US dollars to buy up North American grain, and then sell the grain to the Japanese islands in Europe at high prices, finally getting more euros and Japanese yen in return.”

The question is, what do I need so much money for?

Yu Yang pondered for a moment and then looked at the fourth trending topic.

Avian influenza has invaded Europe, West Asia, Africa...

Since the three major groups seized a large share of the meat market from European and American food companies, epidemics of poultry and livestock have broken out every now and then.

The current blockade of 3-line products by Europe and the United States in the international market suggests that this wave of avian influenza may spread globally, and could even lead to an unprecedented outbreak of swine fever.

"Then let me show you what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot."
