I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 237 Yang Chen goes all out, devouring the eagle, then the ox, and finally reaping the wealth of stock market investors worldwide.

After the tactical discussions were completed, the Bald Eagle delegation returned home to prepare.

The 2000 billion Eagle Dollars previously lent to Four Seas Investment by BlackRock and Vanguard are now coming in handy. He has converted these dollars into Euros and deposited them into overseas accounts in preparation for buying European stocks.

Wall Street investment banks also quickly mobilized funds to prepare for the purchase.

With all preparations complete, Bald Eagle began to execute Yang Chen's tactics.

"To protect the legitimate rights and interests of the Bald Eagle and to compensate for our losses, we have decided to launch missile attacks on major European cities, including but not limited to London, Baltimore, and Berlin. This noon, three of our B-2 bombers will patrol the European coast. If Europe is prepared to go to war with us, then have the guts to shoot down our B-2s!"

The spokesperson's strong statement really frightened the reporters at the scene. It seemed that the bald eagle had lost face and was so angry that it didn't care about the consequences.

The video of the bald eagle spokesperson quickly spread to online platforms around the world, and this time netizens around the world panicked.

A Japanese netizen commented: "This time, it feels like the US is serious. Europe should back down quickly, lest they drag the whole world down with them. Your war will inevitably trigger Season 3; don't harm us! We in Asia have powerful nations to rely on, and we've always been very peaceful. We don't want to lose this peaceful life."

South Korean netizen: Hey, Eagle, I was just joking before. Fighting is brutal. Be good, listen to me, we won't fight. I'll give you a raise next year, okay?

A German netizen commented: "It looks like the bald eagle is serious. Although I'm a little scared, what's coming will come, and it has to come. We've been missing an opportunity to lift the ban, and this is our chance."

Italian netizens: See? We told you not to provoke the bald eagle, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, the whole of Europe is going to pay the price for your two pretentious idiots.

A French netizen commented: "What's there to be afraid of? What's meant to happen will happen. At worst, we'll just try again. What's the big deal? If we win, we make history; if we lose, we start over. I don't understand what you guys are afraid of?"
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Looks like we need to buy more weapons and equipment. This time they didn't give us slippers; we'll have to keep them for ourselves to protect ourselves."

At noon, three B-2 bombers indeed flew across the Atlantic to within 12 nautical miles of the European coast, and broadcast the event live to the world via cameras carried on board.

Upon witnessing this scene, European stock markets collapsed instantly, with financial stocks being the first to crumble. Capital fled at any cost, creating a stampede effect. The share prices of major European banks such as Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and UBS all plummeted, falling by at least 20%.

The technology sector was also hit hard, with the Stoxx 600 Technology Index dropping more than 300 points and still in a rapid downward trend.

As Yang Chen had predicted, the entire European financial market was in chaos and devastation.

The EU convened an emergency meeting of member states to discuss countermeasures.

Unsurprisingly, the representatives of the member states started arguing again.

Germany and France, aiming to become the leaders of Europe, remained pro-war at this time. However, other countries lacked the strength to become leaders and were unwilling to sacrifice themselves to fulfill the ambitions of Germany and France. They joined forces to denounce Germany and France, creating a chaotic situation that was on the verge of war.

The meeting ended in discord, with no consensus reached.

As soon as the meeting ended, Tusk immediately called Yang Chen for help.

“Mr. Yang, it’s all over. It seems the bald eagles are serious. Three B-2s flew over today, and according to satellite photos, their intercontinental ballistic missiles have even opened their silo covers and stood up. It seems we’ve gone too far…” Tusk said fearfully.

Yang Chen said with a smile, "Don't worry, with me here, Eagle won't dare to really hit you."

Tusk immediately said, "Mr. Yang, we trust you so much, don't play us for a fool, people will die, and many, many people will die."

Yang Chen comforted them, "Don't worry, with me here, a fight won't break out. Bald Eagle is angry right now, but once he's vented, I'll have a good talk with them and guarantee this matter can be resolved smoothly. Just tell your people to keep quiet and not to express any opinions."

Tusk replied, "Fine! I'll trust you one more time."

After hanging up the phone, Tusk immediately sent private messages to all member states, including the UK, asking them to remain silent for the time being and not to respond to the actions of the bald eagle.

When investors saw that Europe didn't even dare to make a statement, they knew they were chickening out, so they fled even more recklessly, causing European stock markets to fall for three consecutive days, losing nearly half of their wealth.

The EU held another meeting to discuss countermeasures, but the result was still the same: no results were reached. At the request of the member states, Tusk contacted Yang Chen via video link.

"Mr. Yang, how's it going? When are you going to make your move? Putting aside the possibility of a war between us and the bald eagle, our stock market has crashed these past few days. If you don't act soon, we're finished," Tusk said anxiously.

Yang Chen replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely take action. But I don't have that many Euros available right now, so you'll have to wait a little longer."

The German representative said, "Are we still waiting? By the time you raise funds and convert them into euros, we don't know how much money we'll lose. Here's what we'll do: we'll lend you the money, and you just need to make sure you can protect our stock market."

Yang Chen immediately refused, saying, "No, no, you haven't repaid the 1500 billion euros and 1000 billion eagles you lent us before, how can we lend you more?"

Tusk quickly said, "We're not in a hurry for you to pay us back. Let's keep things separate. Right now, we need you to help us stabilize the European stock market. With your earning power, lending you a little more is no problem."

Yang Chen sighed and said, "Alas...you guys are just ruining my life. Fine then, you immediately transfer the funds to Sihai Investment's account, and I will immediately buy large-cap stocks to stabilize your stock markets in various countries."

Tusk immediately replied, "Okay, okay, we'll transfer the money to the Four Seas Investment account right away. You need to give us a live video stream to show us that you did indeed buy European stocks. Is that alright?"

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course. We signed a financial cooperation agreement. I took your money, so I'll definitely do what you need. I still have basic integrity."

Tusk nodded and immediately instructed member states to pool funds into the EU account, from which the funds would then be transferred to Sihai Investment's account.

Although time was tight, they still managed to scrape together 1000 billion euros for Sihai Investment. The main reason was that each country was afraid of not having enough funds to support its own large companies, so they all generously allocated their national treasury reserves to Yang Chen.

"Yes, I've received the money. However, let me make this clear from the start: the profits from the trading are mine, and have nothing to do with you," Yang Chen said.

Tusk quickly said, "Just help us boost the stock market, and we'll return our principal. All the profits are yours; we don't want a single penny."

The German representative quickly added, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Representatives from other member states also expressed their views, stating that they had only two demands: that Yang Chen bring the European stock market back to normal and repay the principal after the transaction was completed; they had no other demands.

Yang Chen showed representatives from EU member states via video which companies Sihai Investment had bought shares in.

To stabilize the market, it is essential to prioritize buying large-cap blue-chip stocks.

"Deutsche Bank bought €80 billion, Baribank bought €60 billion, UBS bought €80 billion..."

Yang Chen verbally instructed the traders at Sihai Investment to buy shares in the companies he named. The traders not only used the money recently provided by the EU to buy shares, but also used the money already in the company's account to buy shares of the same amount.

Meanwhile, Wall Street has also entered the fray.

When everyone had almost finished buying, Yang Chen posted a Weibo post.

"Europe has signed a financial cooperation agreement with our country and has also granted operating rights to my Sihai Financial and Sihai Insurance companies. I am absolutely optimistic about Europe's future development and am now prepared to invest at least hundreds of billions of euros in Europe. Furthermore, I warn the Bald Eagles to know when to stop and put away your arrogant and domineering attitude. The money that Europe has legally earned in the Bald Eagles' stock market, you must immediately unfreeze and return to Europe. Otherwise, I will fulfill the financial cooperation agreement, stand up for Europe, short the Bald Eagles, and earn back the European funds. Don't force me to take action against you!"

Yang Chen has a dedicated online management team, and this Weibo post was immediately reposted and widely disseminated on external websites.

Representatives from EU member states who were having a video conference with Yang Chen were all very pleased after seeing this Weibo post.

German representative: Mr. Yang, you're so kind. Our cooperation agreement with you was definitely worthwhile; you really stepped up at this crucial moment. Thank you, Mr. Yang.

The French representative stated: "This demonstrates our foresight in choosing to cooperate with China and Mr. Yang. The 'bald eagle' dared not freeze Mr. Yang's funds, but now that Mr. Yang has openly threatened them, let's see if they dare continue to freeze our funds."

Italian representative: Guys, give me another chance. I'm sure I can do it again. If the bald eagle really unfreezes our funds, then I think they're not so scary after all.

German representative: You and England have no credibility whatsoever. If we had any other options, we would never consider you again.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Alright, stop arguing. I did say I would cure your fear of eagles. Don't wait until I cure your fear of eagles and you're divided again. Otherwise, wouldn't I have wasted my time? What I want is for you to have strategic autonomy in the future, and to only consider the interests of both sides when doing business with us. Don't be influenced by the political correctness of the bald eagle. Understand?"

Tusk immediately said, "Oh dear, Mr. Yang is truly insightful. Europe lacks figures like Mr. Yang and Qin Shi Huang. If even one of them could emerge, we wouldn't be in such a disorganized state. Mr. Yang, rest assured, we will not let you down. As long as we can get the money back this time and preserve the European stock market, we will have enough confidence to achieve strategic autonomy."

The German representative exclaimed excitedly, "We have always desired strategic autonomy, but it has been hindered by certain practical conditions. Now the opportunity has arrived, and we will absolutely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance. We hope that other countries will share our ambition. European affairs should be decided by the people of Europe, not influenced by the bald eagle. Europe, rise up!"

The room erupted in cheers, with everyone applauding in agreement.

Netizens from all over the world were furious when they saw Yang Chen's Weibo post.

South Korean netizens: This is outrageous! What gives Yang Chen the right to threaten the US? Who does he think he is, trying to tell the US what to do? This is the consequence of the US not going all out against Yang Chen; he's completely lost his sense of power. If the US doesn't send agents to assassinate him this time, I'll look down on them. Japanese netizens: This is unbelievable! How can someone be this brazen? Yang Chen is openly telling the US what to do? I can't stand it anymore. If the US doesn't take any concrete action, I'll truly despise them.

A Bald Eagle netizen commented: "Who does he think he is? What gives him the right to tell us how to do things? He even threatened us! Absolutely despicable! Fuck! We suggest we send agents to take him out. We must let him and the whole world know what happens when you offend the Bald Eagle!"
A German netizen commented: "Mr. Yang, well done! This is the ally we've been looking for. He's incredibly strong. If the bald eagles have the guts, keep freezing our money. Mr. Yang will help us get revenge. Let's see if you freeze more of our money or have more of your money taken away."

Indian netizen: Huh? Yang Chen has become this powerful? I feel like it's not real. Are there any Chinese people who understand Chinese? Could you please translate this to make sure it means this? I really can't believe that Yang Chen would dare to threaten the bald eagle so openly.

Meanwhile, the bald eagles were also holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Yang Chen's Weibo post is too arrogant. It's clearly a threat to us! If we do what he says, how can we save face?"

"This is just a show. If we don't make it look convincing, how will the world believe that we've admitted defeat and that Europe is strong? We need to attract everyone to buy up European stocks at rock-bottom prices so that we can successfully do so. Once we've made enough money from this round of buying, then we can settle accounts with Europe properly."

"What's face to me? Isn't it better to make hundreds of billions of euros? If you give me hundreds of billions of euros, I don't care if you scold me for 24 hours a day."

"Ha ha……"

"If we can really reap double the benefits, it's not a big deal to let Yang Chen show off. Moreover, with this, we can use it to sow discord between Europe and Yang Chen at any time in the future. It can only benefit us, not harm us."

"Ha ha……"

The Bald Eagles reached a consensus and held a press conference to cooperate with Yang Chen's performance.

The spokesperson stated to reporters from around the world: "After repeated discussions, we have reached a consensus. We believe that economic issues should be resolved through economic means, not military or political ones. Moreover, we believe that Europe's investment in the Black Hawk market is a reasonable and legal investment activity and should not be frozen. We have now decided to unfreeze the European accounts and remove the military threat."

The reporters were stunned once again.

Was the bald eagle frightened by Yang Chen's warning on Weibo?
An AFP reporter asked: "Were you frightened by Yang Chen's warning? Are you worried that he will retaliate against you for standing up for Europe?"

The Bald Eagle spokesperson immediately replied, "No, no, no, this is our own decision. It has nothing to do with Yang Chen or anyone else. We are the most powerful country in the world. We do everything according to our own will, and we don't need to, nor will we, consider, the opinions of others."

The reporters laughed; they all thought the spokesperson was just being stubborn and making excuses.

A Reuters reporter asked, "Did you really make this decision after careful consideration? Have you thought about how people around the world will view you when they see this decision? Aren't you worried about the impact on the country's dignity and reputation?"

The Bald Eagle spokesperson replied, "We have made the right choice, and people all over the world will applaud us. We will be even more dignified. Don't you think it's a good thing that we don't militarize or politicize economic issues? This is a great step forward for the Bald Eagle, and people all over the world should cheer for us."

All the reporters present were stunned. They even suspected that the bald eagle might have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise the spokesperson's words were too stupid, so stupid that it was hard to believe that a spokesperson for the bald eagle could say such a thing.

Is the bald eagle really worried that Yang Chen is shorting their stock market on behalf of Europe?

The video of the bald eagle spokesperson was uploaded online, and foreigners were completely taken aback.

South Korean netizens: Huh? Why is this happening? The bald eagle has become so cowardly? Are you even capable? This is so disappointing. We won't renew the contract next year. You should just leave. You don't deserve to be our bodyguards.

Japanese netizens: What?! The Bald Eagle really did what Yang Chen said? Is this still the Bald Eagle we know?

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "This is so disappointing! How can such a powerful country like ours not be able to deal with him? Why should we be afraid of him? If he dares to short our stock market again, we should freeze his money directly. What about dignity? Don't we care?"

German netizens: Haha...Are you convinced or not? I'm asking you, American netizens, are you convinced now? You guys are always swaggering around and bullying others, and now someone can finally put you in your place. Awesome! So awesome! Long live Yang Chen!
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "As expected of my idol, this is incredible! Throughout human history, Yang Chen is definitely the greatest warrior, even more valiant than Xiang Yu, the pinnacle of martial prowess in Chinese history. It's hilarious to see some netizens from other countries getting so worked up, haha..."

The video of the Bald Eagle spokesperson was transmitted to the meeting of EU member states, and Tusk ordered his staff to play it for everyone to see.

After watching it, cheers and jubilation erupted immediately at the scene.

The German representative exclaimed excitedly, "I told you we would win! Did you see that? The bald eagle chickened out; it stopped pretending to be strong. Glory belongs to Europe!"

The French representative was also very excited, shouting at the top of his lungs: "This is the meaning of our efforts! France has finally proven itself! From now on, no one can call us capitulationists. Look at our masterpiece! In this day and age, what other country can make the bald eagle submit?"

The Italian representative also shouted, "Brothers and sisters, give us another chance! We will never fail again! Glory belongs to Europe, to all Europeans!"

After their excitement, the foreigners didn't forget to thank Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, thank you for speaking up for us. From now on, you are a loyal ally of the European Union!"

"Mr. Yang is invincible! Glory belongs to Europe, and also to Mr. Yang!"

"Mr. Yang, please sell your goods in Europe! The people of Europe welcome your products!"

……

Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Thank you everyone. The glory belongs to Europe; I'm just basking in the glory. I've already done half the work for you. The other half is to boost the European stock market. Everyone, watch carefully; I'll only demonstrate once."

Yang Chen immediately gave instructions to the trader to blindly buy financial and technology stocks with the remaining money.

Massive purchases naturally drive up stock prices in a short period of time. Coupled with the system's "buy and it rises" skill, the financial and technology stocks such as Deutsche Bank and ASML that Sihai Investment bought rose rapidly, which also drove the overall market to rise rapidly.

In just over an hour by the close of trading, these stocks had generally risen by more than 20 points, with a few even rising by more than 50 points.

Representatives from EU countries were overjoyed to see the stock market's strong performance.

The German representative said with a smile, "Mr. Yang is truly an investment genius. Whether he's shorting or going long, he never makes a mistake. I heard that the first batch of Xingchen cars has already been unloaded at the port. I'll immediately order a MAX version to support Mr. Yang."

The French representative chimed in, "Haha... I've already contacted Xingchen Auto Experience Store. They'll call me to pick up the car as soon as it arrives. I absolutely love its powerful engine and Porsche-like appearance. Oh, and I've also bought a tri-fold phone, and pre-ordered a Sihai drone and a robot dog. I'm trying to get a complete set of equipment made entirely by Mr. Yang's company."

Tusk also said with a smile, "I suggest that, to thank Mr. Yang for his help, each member state's representative should buy a Starcar, a Sihai mobile phone, or something similar to express their sincere gratitude to Mr. Yang. There will be many more places where we need Mr. Yang in the future, and we must maintain a good relationship with him."

The Italian representative quickly said, "To show our sincerity, I will suggest that all government vehicles be replaced with Star Motors. Brothers, please give us another chance. Mr. Yang, please put in a good word for us. Please."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I just said I wouldn't interfere in your internal problems; you can solve them yourselves. However, if you truly admit your mistakes and promise not to mess things up again, I believe that since you share the same ancestry, other countries will still accept you. Okay, that's all for today. I'm logging off now. Bye, everyone."

Representatives from various countries quickly waved goodbye to Yang Chen, who then exited the video conference.

Chen Xi immediately asked, "Chairman Yang, there's a question I'd like to discuss with you. You see, if in the future the US sues the EU, claiming we colluded with them to set up the EU, will the EU retaliate against us?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "This is the handle I deliberately left for the bald eagles. If they don't use this handle to sow discord between the EU and me, and the EU doesn't target my industries, how can I have the nerve to continue exploiting the EU? As our ancestors said, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.' Foreigners are just tools that provide me with wealth; I can't possibly be friends with them. Besides, we haven't settled accounts for what their ancestors did to our ancestors. As long as they don't abolish the short-selling mechanism, I've got them wrapped around my little finger. If they abolish the short-selling mechanism, capital from all over the world will flee Europe. They can't afford that loss. Anyone with a sane brain knows what to choose. With this mechanism, I can live off them for life."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "I understand! We are just reclaiming what our ancestors took from them back then. We are only collecting interest now. We haven't asked them for the principal yet. They will have to repay it slowly."

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Hey, that's right, that's the right mindset. When we were backward, they tried every means to bully us. Now that we're gradually becoming stronger, they want to coexist peacefully and be friends with us? Wouldn't that be a waste of our strength? Just wait, my next step is to make them return the cultural relics they stole from us."

Europeans are itching to make money as the stock market soars. Those with stock accounts are rushing to make money, while those without are opening accounts to do so, all waiting to blindly rush in and make a killing when the market opens tomorrow.

People from other countries, though puzzled and even angry at the bald eagle's kneeling, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to make money. Stock market investors also rushed to deposit money to buy European stocks.

This scene seems familiar. Stock market investors in China have done something similar before, and ended up getting trapped on the same day, and are still trapped now.

The fact that Chinese stock market investors were trapped last time only shows that they don't understand the international situation at all, don't understand what the US's interest rate hikes and cuts mean, and don't understand China's basic national policy of "building a nation on industry and not playing the financial game." Paying tuition is only right.

Yang Chen's analysis at the time indicated that the A-share market would only fluctuate around 3300 points, neither rising nor falling too much. More than half a year has passed, and his prediction has been completely confirmed.

This is the level the country wants. Foreign capital has no room to short sell, and going long carries risks. This ensures that foreign capital will not dare to cause trouble in the A-share market, thus guaranteeing stock market stability. The focus of China should still be on developing industry. Industrial development is the only true path to achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; everything else is just a bubble.

The fact that European and other overseas stock market investors were trapped in this situation is purely a trap set by Yang Chen and the White Eagle.

The next day, when European stock markets opened, almost all stocks rose, with some high-performing stocks even rising by more than 10% at the open, demonstrating just how hot the market was.

European stock markets have no daily price limits, and new investors don't understand technical analysis or company fundamentals. They just buy whichever company looks good, and then see their accounts showing increasing profits, making them very happy.

Life should be complete; it's time to let foreign stock market investors experience what it's like to be a Chinese stock market investor.
