The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology
Chapter 460 Yuqing Palace, the Enemy of the Federal Reserve
May 1995, Hideb, Somalia.
The plane slowly taxied down the airport runway and soon came to a stop on the tarmac.
Hidab Airport is not large; besides the more than 3,000-meter-long runway, there are more than a dozen huge aprons.
As for airport terminals and the like, they are basically nowhere to be seen.
It only has the essential airport equipment such as the control tower; nothing else.
"Matthew, welcome back."
The person who stepped off the plane was none other than Matthew Barron.
He personally escorted the goods this time because they were very important.
The blueprints for the aircraft engine of the Tu-160 bomber, which filled three large boxes, were very important to the Want Want Group.
This was also technical data that many senior executives valued highly, so Matthew Barron personally escorted it.
We were fortunate enough to bring them back.
Yabo Fein's words made Matthew Barron grin from ear to ear, and he excitedly said:
"Thank you, Mr. Finn, I..."
"Yes, we are all eager to acknowledge your contributions and will not overlook our great contributor. You can rest assured about that."
Seeing that the other person patted him on the shoulder, Matthew Barron felt his shoulder lighten a bit, and his smile became much brighter. All the hard work he had done before was worth it.
Several senior executives, including Zheng Baoyin, Fuller Carson, and Martinez, were present at the scene.
Especially Martinez, who is an old acquaintance of Matthew Barron.
A few years ago, the other person was just like him, an ordinary middle-class person working hard in Moscow.
However, Martinez is now a high-ranking executive.
Sometimes, the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.
The three large boxes of technical data were quickly transported to the underground laboratory.
The research team, which was already prepared, began to replicate them and translate the materials.
After copying, both the original and translated materials will be transferred to Harbin.
In fact, there are many researchers from Moscow in both the Somali Peninsula and Harbin.
However, within the Want Want Group, there are many people from various places, and in daily communication, the vast majority naturally use Mandarin and Chinese characters.
However, when it comes to communication between them, they naturally use their own language.
Therefore, the Want Want Group still needs to communicate in bilingual languages such as Chinese and English, Chinese and Russian, and Chinese and French.
However, everything was fine. Everyone involved was a researcher with strong learning abilities, so language communication was naturally not a problem.
A few days later, Zheng Baoyin looked at the head of aero-engine technology and asked:
"How are those documents?"
"Mr. Zheng, the information is perfect and detailed, with no omissions, and the order of the information is correct, without any errors."
"It's simply a masterpiece of God."
After the other party finished expressing their feelings, Zheng Baoyin continued to ask when the NK32 engine could be replicated with this information.
Upon hearing this question, the person in charge immediately fell silent.
Because of the short time available, he hadn't finished reviewing all the materials, so he couldn't give an exact timeframe.
Therefore, he needed to think things through clearly before answering Mr. Zheng's question.
Seeing this, Zheng Baoyin stopped asking questions and told the other party to go about their own business.
Anyway, his ninth uncle will handle the technical matters, so he doesn't need to worry about them.
Just then, Zheng Baoyin saw Pei Xiaojun suddenly walk over with a serious expression and report to him:
"Mr. Zheng, just now, Mr. Wang arrived at the port of Perpendicular and discovered he was being followed."
"We have now arranged for the local warlords of Berbera to cause trouble, and the situation is temporarily under control."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin's expression changed drastically.
The importance of the Port of Pepperla to the Want Want Group is self-evident.
Why did Wang Jianchao choose to travel by sea instead of by plane? What is he planning to do?
And didn't this guy say he was hunting in the Siberian primeval forest?
Why did they suddenly come to the Somali peninsula again?
On the other side, at the port of Perpella, Wang Jianchao's expression was equally grim.
He never expected that he would be targeted.
"Luckily, I hired enough bodyguards, and they were vigilant enough, otherwise, I might have died here."
After encountering five KGB traitors in the Siberian primeval forest, he made an emergency evacuation and did not stay there.
Although the Far Eastern Golden Shaded Dog is very important, it is far less important than his life.
After leaving China, he planned to visit the Somali Peninsula.
But now I'm being followed.
This means that someone must have been watching him.
So who is it?
He immediately found a safe place and then called his Uncle Nine.
Harbin, Weizigou Campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, on the island in the lake, inside the study villa.
When Wang Duoyu saw the caller ID on his phone, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: This nephew had just boasted to him a few days ago about the Siberian tiger he had hunted.
Then they said they wanted to build a Siberian tiger wildlife park in Africa.
Why are you calling him now? Does he not have any money?
It's just a wildlife park; it's not worth much money at all.
"Uncle Jiu, something has happened to me."
As soon as the call connected and he heard the voice on the other end, Wang Duoyu suddenly sat up straight.
"Please tell me specifically."
Soon, Wang Jianchao began to explain the details.
After listening, Wang Duoyu was speechless:
"You shot and killed five KGB traitors in the primeval forest. Why didn't you tell me about that? And how could you dispose of the bodies so crudely?"
"It seems you haven't read those books I asked you to study much. No wonder you're being targeted now."
At the port of Perpella, Wang Jianchao, his face filled with shame, hurriedly said:
"Uncle Jiu, now that things have happened, what should I do?"
"What else can we do? Just make a cold scrambled egg salad!"
Wang Duoyu retorted irritably, then sighed and gave the order:
"You should leave the Somali peninsula first, then go to Tanzania to set up your Siberian tiger wildlife park. Don't contact anyone else, especially Bao Yin and his executives. Don't contact them for the next few days."
"I'll arrange for someone to investigate who's targeting you. But don't do anything yourself. Just treat this as a regular robbery or revenge killing. Don't overthink it."
All senior executives of Want Want Group have bodyguards, and they also have competitors among themselves.
Therefore, it's not entirely incomprehensible if competitors want to sabotage the executives.
However, the executives of Want Want Group also have other identities, which naturally cannot be revealed.
Wang Jianchao, in particular, needs to be extremely vigilant; otherwise, if he gets noticed, he'll really be in trouble.
Not long after the phone call ended, Wang Duoyu received another message: Alan Spencer is dead!
This made him sigh, "These are turbulent times!"
Wang Duoyu didn't know who killed Alan Spencer, but he needed to investigate, so he just needed to keep an eye on the Bureau of Investigation and other agencies.
He also believed that the financial tycoons behind the Federal Reserve would definitely take action.
He might even personally investigate.
Wang Duoyu is currently unable to confirm the specifics of the situation.
We can only take it one step at a time.
Rubenwagen is wandering in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in South America.
Ever since he was drafted by Wang Duoyu, he has dared not stay in Vancouver any longer.
Ushuaia is known as the world's most isolated and southernmost city.
Once you arrive here, you can set off for Antarctica, but Antarctic tourism has not yet been developed, so this is just an ordinary city.
After staying there for a while, Rubenwagen couldn't resist and found someone to connect him to the internet to find out what was going on.
As a result, less than five minutes after he went online, he was targeted by Wang Duoyu.
To be precise, it was locked onto by the Nuwa artificial intelligence developed by Wang Duoyu.
This artificial intelligence is extremely powerful, reaching the level of the most advanced artificial intelligence technology on Earth in 2015 of the original timeline.
If it weren't for the fact that the internet in Ushuaia is indeed very poor, with extremely slow broadband speeds, Nuwa's AI could definitely lock onto the target within a minute, or even half a minute.
Because of Rubenwagen, the hacker known as the "Dragon," all his internet hacking techniques and lifestyle habits have been recorded.
Nuwa's artificial intelligence could naturally use such internet habits to quickly locate the other party.
"Oh, so you've found the dragon? In Ushuaia?"
Inside the study villa, Wang Duoyu confirmed Rubenwagen's address through feedback from the Nuwa AI and couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, let's notify them and have someone pick him up."
Wild hackers have always longed for freedom.
However, Want Want Group could simply recruit these hackers and allow them to operate freely within the rules.
However, Wang Duoyu did not want them to join Want Want Group, but instead wanted them to join another, more secretive company.
In this way, he would no longer be able to utilize the current power of the Want Want Group.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows... no, I should say it's having an extra backup plan.
You must always have your own trump card, and it must be a trump card that no one else can know.
In the dark world, a very ordinary mission appeared on the leaderboard, with a reward of only half a million dollars, which was not much.
However, the task was very simple.
Karlheinz, a small town in Caminja in southwestern Iberia, successfully secured the mission.
The Arctic Fox mercenary group has now moved from Cyprus to its current location.
They were forced to flee due to being hunted down by the security bureau and other agencies.
They haven't taken on many missions recently.
They are almost out of ammunition and food.
On the run, they gave up many things.
Although money is an external thing, now that they have saved their lives, they should start thinking about survival.
The money they earned before has been mostly spent. In their line of work, they can sometimes become very wealthy, but they can also lose their lives in a disaster.
They were lucky; the Arctic Fox mercenary group didn't suffer many casualties.
They only lost a lot of money, that's all.
“Bertrand, let’s go to Ushuaia. If we complete this mission, we’ll get some pocket money.”
However, Philipstone was very disgusted:
“Carl, it’s only a commission of five hundred thousand dollars, we…”
He was a greedy man, and he was also used to the fact that his commissions started at least at five million US dollars each time.
Furthermore, in the past year or two, there have been too many assignments with a minimum reward of ten million US dollars.
So they spoiled Philipstone's tastes.
"Hmph, can we please stop talking about this?"
Garen Thorne said angrily:
"We've escaped with our lives, but we're still on the CIA's kill list. If you don't want to die, shut up."
Anyone who accepts a high-paying mission will inevitably die inexplicably.
Previously, organizations such as the Eye of Sauron, the White Dolphin Mercenary Group, and the Dragon Tooth Squad had all been hunted down by FBI agents, nearly wiping out these organizations.
The Arctic Fox mercenary group should be grateful they escaped with their lives.
"Philip, be quiet."
Bertrand spoke up as well, and Phillipstone slammed his fist on the table in anger, turned around, and left.
After discussing it, they set off for Ushuaia.
This place is located at the southernmost tip of South America, and can be said to be the city closest to Antarctica.
As the Arctic Fox mercenary group set off, Nuwa's artificial intelligence also sent messages, pinpointing the locations of Wang Qingzhong and Liang Xingmin.
One went to a farm in the northernmost part of Alaska, and the other went to Iceland.
In any case, they've all hidden themselves away from the secular world.
But people like them have long been accustomed to wielding power and influence on the internet.
And since they enjoy lively places, they certainly wouldn't stay in such a desolate place for long.
So they returned to the bustling city center, found the computer, and resumed their original lives.
They were discovered very quickly after their return.
So Wang Duoyu started issuing missions in the dark world again.
"Nuwa, help me find out how many top-tier hackers there are in the wild right now, where they are, and rank them according to their abilities."
Just as Liang Xingmin, Wang Qingzhong, Rubenwagen, and the others were about to be brought back, Wang Duoyu gave another order to the Nuwa AI.
A self-taught hacker is naturally a capable person.
He should gather them together and put them to his use, instead of letting these people roam the world.
Nuwa quickly provided a list.
Wang Duoyu glanced at the list and discovered that the woman named Lin Xiaohui was actually ranked fourth.
That's pretty awesome.
Wang Duoyu became even more interested when he clicked on Lin Xiaohui's detailed profile.
It wasn't that the other person had a great figure, but rather that they had actually joined a theft gang and had carried out numerous theft missions.
The most recent theft was actually a raid on the British Museum—well done!
"They exchanged nearly five hundred million US dollars, huh? They're pretty impressive."
They traded national treasure-level antiques for a staggering $500 million.
It's unclear who won and who lost.
From Want Want Group's perspective, spending five hundred million US dollars to acquire so many national treasure-level antiques is undoubtedly a huge profit.
Because super-sized US dollars can be printed in large quantities at any time.
As for the cost, it is almost negligible.
On the contrary, those antiques are national treasures, irreplaceable.
However, from the Flying Squad's perspective, they couldn't recognize that it was a super dollar, so they happily left with five hundred million dollars.
That's five hundred million US dollars, a very large sum of money.
Since receiving the money, Lin Xiaohui has been traveling all over the world.
She also ordered two Dawn series supercomputers from others through the dark world.
Currently, the world's most advanced supercomputer is the Dawning supercomputer, developed and manufactured by Harbin Institute of Technology.
Leading the rest of the world.
Japan, the United States, and Russia also wanted to surpass Harbin Institute of Technology in the field of supercomputing, but unfortunately, they couldn't.
Because the latest supercomputer developed by Harbin Institute of Technology, Dawning, is now aiming for a computing speed of ten trillion operations per second.
The two Dawning supercomputers that Lin Xiaohui purchased have a computing speed of 500 billion operations per second.
However, even now, the supercomputers of both the United States and Japan only have a processing speed of 200 billion operations per second.
Therefore, the gap between the two sides is not just large.
As a top hacker, Lin Xiaohui is well aware of the importance of supercomputers.
She had money before, but not as much as she does now.
Therefore, when she received the money, she asked someone to buy two Dawning supercomputers on her behalf.
After Zhou Ying, Bai Lichun, and Giovanni Kin received their share of the money, they either went to Las Vegas to live a life of debauchery, bought limited-edition supercars or airplanes, or dated supermodels.
Lin Xiaohui is a bit of a special case.
With a reward of 500 million US dollars, each member of the Flying Squad would receive approximately 70 million US dollars.
Everyone was very happy with this sum of money.
On this day, Lin Xiaohui was visiting Paris, France, when she received a phone call informing her that the two Dawning supercomputers she had ordered had arrived and that she should come over to sign for and receive them.
Lin Xiaohui returned to Hong Kong Island with great joy, received the supercomputer, and settled it in her home.
She then eagerly turned on the machine for a trial run.
In order for this device to function properly.
She specifically bought this detached villa in Deep Water Bay and even had the electrical wiring replaced.
Supercomputers are huge power consumers, and Lin Xiaohui couldn't possibly be unaware of that.
Ordinary electrical wires naturally cannot withstand such a huge current surge.
Therefore, she buys the best of all kinds of transformers and other equipment.
"Phew, that's great!"
After everything was finalized, Lin Xiaohui turned on the device, ready to enjoy herself for a few days.
She had only been playing for less than half an hour when someone knocked on the door.
The people Wang Duoyu hired have arrived at Lin Xiaohui's doorstep.
"What did you say? You want me to join you? No way!" Lin Xiaohui refused without hesitation. She wouldn't join any team. She was doing very well with the Flying Sky Squad.
"Ms. Lin, I believe you will make the wisest choice."
Then, the visitor showed Lin Xiaohui a document that thoroughly investigated her ancestors for eighteen generations.
They also thoroughly investigated everything about Lin Xiaohui, including her hobbies and habits.
In other words, if she chooses not to cooperate, she will very likely be taken to London.
So she had no choice but to back down.
A week later, in the middle of a large sugarcane field in the southern part of Mauritius, there were many buildings.
What are you doing bringing us here?
Throughout the entire process, Lin Xiaohui was quite surprised because the other party actually let her know where she was.
Mauritius has very beautiful scenery. She has been there several times and has a certain understanding of the environment.
The country's total area is approximately 2,200 square kilometers.
The entire country is land left behind after volcanic eruptions.
Therefore, the land here is not suitable for growing rice, but rather for growing crops such as sugarcane.
Whether it was during the French colonization of the country or the later British colonization period, Mauritius has always looked the same.
The island's population is also somewhat unusual in terms of ethnicity.
Of the million people, half are of Indian descent.
After Great Britain bought Mauritius from France, it brought in 500,000 laborers from India to develop the island.
After Mauritius gained independence, the country's Indian population became the majority.
There are also native-born people, descendants of French people, descendants of British people, and Chinese people.
Although the country is small and its population is pitifully small, it is also relatively poor.
In 1995, Mauritius' tourism industry was still struggling to develop.
The best scenery is in the north of the island and on Ile aux Cerfs (Deer Island), while the scenery is less impressive in the south.
Even so, the southern part of the island still boasts very beautiful scenery.
Lin Xiaohui thought for a moment, and based on her understanding of Mauritius, she believed that it was still possible for her to leave.
But she quickly changed her mind.
"Are you a dragon?"
Within the buildings surrounded by sugarcane fields, she saw several young people running.
During their conversation over dinner, Lin Xiaohui quickly learned the other person's identity.
Demon Dragon, Death's Scythe, Rice Shell, and others are all well-known figures in the hacker world.
"Yes, who are you?"
Wang Qingzhong frowned and asked.
Lin Xiaohui isn't exactly a stunning beauty, but she has a hot figure and pretty features, so she's considered a beauty no matter where you are.
However, Wang Qingzhong and his fellow hackers were all hardcore otaku who preferred the kind of girls from comic books.
Lin Xiaohui's figure is more like that of a slightly plump supermodel.
After all, supermodels are all skin and bones, so hugging a supermodel is like hugging bones.
Lin Xiaohui has a slightly fuller figure, but compared to supermodels, she is still quite thin for an average person. However, she is curvy in the right places and slim in the right places.
However, her figure is still somewhat different from that of a manga character.
It's not that Wang Qingzhong and the others don't like Lin Xiaohui's type.
But they're not in a good mood right now, and they're wary and guarded towards beautiful women and everyone else.
Therefore, their manner of speaking will naturally not be very good.
"My name is Lin Xiaohui, and my nickname is Enchanting."
Liang Xingmin and Rubenwagen's expressions changed instantly.
She's stunning! She's a top beauty in the hacker world. Although her hacking skills aren't the most advanced, she's still incredibly attractive.
Unexpectedly, I actually met him in person.
After getting to know each other, the group became even more enthusiastic about their conversation because of their shared identity.
At the same time, a question arose in their minds: what exactly did the person behind this, who had gathered these hackers together, want to do?
The next day, they quickly learned what their place was called.
Yuqing Palace!
Good heavens, isn't this the residence of Yuanshi Tianzun from ancient Chinese mythology?
Lin Xiaohui and the others knew the meaning of the name, but the foreigners like Rubenwagen did not. However, after Wang Qingzhong and the others translated it, they quickly understood.
Therefore, the fact that this place is called Yuqing Palace suggests that the person behind it is most likely a Chinese person who likes ancient Chinese mythology.
At the very least, they are people who are very passionate about ancient Chinese culture.
After gathering Lin Xiaohui and the others, Wang Duoyu assigned them a task: training!
Enhance technical capabilities to prepare for the future.
Mauritius will soon be connected to the outside world via an undersea network.
The islands are isolated overseas; the nearest island to them is Reunion Island, and even further away is Madagascar.
As for the African continent, that's even further away.
The Seychelles and the Maldives are at least near the equator, unlike Mauritius which is right on the Tropic of Capricorn.
Too far.
Therefore, to connect to the internet, an undersea fiber optic cable must be laid to Mauritius.
Wang Duoyu plans to arrange for someone to develop Mauritius, boost their tourism industry, attract more visitors, and also earn some pocket money.
That's the end of the matter at Yuqing Palace. Wang Duoyu doesn't plan to assign any more tasks in the short term.
However, in the future, whenever there are any operations, Lin Xiaohui and the others will be assigned specific tasks.
The headquarters building of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C.
Brian Ward was still in a very bad mood; the identity of who killed Alan Spencer remained a mystery.
We have a preliminary direction based on the bullets, but the assassin has escaped. It is difficult to locate the enemy based on bullets alone.
On the other hand, information from the CIA suggests that Allen Span may have offended two major conglomerates in Texas and California.
The people behind them would arrange for an assassin to target Allen Span.
The Great Purge plan was drafted by Alan Spencer, but it was temporarily shelved due to previous events.
But for some unknown reason, the two major conglomerates in Texas and California found out about this, which is why they chose to silence them.
But this is merely a conjecture by the CIA based on the information it currently possesses, nothing more.
How can a case be closed without evidence?
dong dong!
Operations Department Director Darren Watson entered from outside, his expression serious, and said:
"Boss, the intelligence agency just called and said they've uncovered three more major transactions in Europe, totaling a whopping $5.2 billion."
"Federal Reserve representative Roland Morgan drew his gun on the spot, forcing General Barnes to immediately send someone to Europe."
hiss!
The situation is getting increasingly chaotic.
Brian Ward looked distressed; he genuinely didn't know what to do.
Even the cunning Baker Barnes was threatened by Roland Morgan, let alone others.
Five billion US dollars is an extremely large sum of money.
If this continues, I'm afraid the US dollar will soon be flooding the world.
When everyone starts using the US dollar as worthless paper, the collapse of the credit system won't be far off.
However, these are not things that Brian Ward should worry about.
The Federal Reserve will certainly pressure agencies such as the National Security Agency, the Intelligence Agency, and the Bureau of Investigation to solve the case as soon as possible.
Even if such coercion may not be effective, what if it works?
"Let's send someone over too, even if it's just to go through the motions."
Brian Ward waved his hand, utterly exhausted.
The Allen Span case isn't over yet, and so many mega-dollar transactions have emerged in Europe. If this continues, even if Brian doesn't collapse from the stress, he might break down first from the heavy workload.
These are truly turbulent times!
Back in New York, around a luxurious round table, old Morgan and his colleagues were discussing two things.
"Since there is suspicion, there is no need for evidence. Just send people to warn California and Texas to keep their people in line."
William DuPont tapped the table and said in a deep voice:
"I'm very curious, why haven't those two European conglomerates made any statement? Don't they know about the Great Purge plan?"
Upon hearing this, John Rockefeller smiled and said:
"In the end, it's just a small conglomerate that hasn't been around for long. Whether it's the foundation or the financial resources, it's still lacking. It's normal that they don't know about the Great Purge Plan."
In their view, they have already concluded that Alan Spencer was the one who arranged for people from the two major financial groups in California and Texas to do the deed.
Logically speaking, these two conglomerates should also have some pride and shouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
In reality, once the purge plan is implemented, the two major financial groups in California and Texas will inevitably be weakened.
It might even be completely divided up by other covetous conglomerates like the Cleveland Group.
Don't assume these bystanders are just spectators. As long as the California conglomerate reveals a flaw, others certainly won't miss out on such a capital feast.
It's no longer possible to persuade Allen Span to abandon the Great Purge plan through legitimate means.
And it cannot be stopped.
That's why they arranged for an assassin to take out the person in charge.
They were all bullied like this, and all they did was kill the person in charge, that was all.
That's quite a show of respect for the Morgan, Rockefeller, and DuPont families.
The message was quite simple: the purge plan was over, otherwise, we wouldn't hesitate to fight to the death.
Regardless of the family, they all resorted to such assassination methods in the early stages of their rise to power.
Historically, those who were assassinated, as far as the outside world knows, were naturally figures like Kennedy.
Behind the scenes, many princes and important heirs of large conglomerates have also been assassinated.
It's just that it's little known to most people.
But nowadays, given the choice, no one would choose to resort to assassination.
This is a last resort, a desperate measure that will only be used when all other options are exhausted.
The Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, the DuPont family, the Mellon family, the Cleveland Group, the California Group, the Texas Group, the Boston Group, European conglomerates (Maple Leaf Holdings), etc.
These conglomerates already have established power. If everyone disregards the rules and uses assassination methods at will, chaos will ensue, and they will inevitably be attacked by other conglomerates.
After all, nobody wants to live in constant fear; such a life would be worse than death.
So no one would resort to such methods.
However, John Rockefeller's conclusion was incorrect.
In fact, the reason why the California and Texas consortia knew about the purge plan was simply because Want Want Group accidentally leaked it.
The plan was learned by the commercial spies assigned to these two major conglomerates.
Everything was just right, and the timing was perfect.
The purge plan is aimed at these three companies. It makes no sense that the Want Want Group has already launched a full-scale challenge, while the two major conglomerates in California and Texas are just watching from the sidelines and even enjoying the fruits of victory, thus avoiding this disaster.
However, Zheng Baoyin and his senior executives did not expect that the two major conglomerates in California and Texas would resort to assassination.
It's a bit rough, but the effect is immediate.
Therefore, Morgan and his team will definitely not pull this trick again.
"Let's talk about the Super Dollar case now. The counterfeit money syndicate is too rampant. Now they've pulled off three major transactions in Europe, with a total transaction amount of $5.2 billion."
When J.P. Morgan said this, he was extremely angry and harbored deep resentment.
But there was nothing they could do.
"I propose that the Federal Reserve release the latest version of the dollar immediately; we can't keep delaying it like this."
"We also need to speed things up and issue more US dollars."
Upon hearing this last sentence, William DuPont and John Rockefeller all smiled.
Yes, they also took advantage of the mega-dollar case to make money.
Anyway, George Herbert and his people will clean up the mess, while the Federal Reserve can just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Given the current status of the US dollar in global transactions, more than 80 percent of international trade is settled in US dollars.
Other currencies are not trusted.
Countries around the world that want to buy oil can only use US dollars.
Because they have already deployed the Seven Sisters, securing most of the world's crude oil producing regions.
Besides that, there are other forms of trade.
Therefore, the US dollar is very important.
As the super-dollars became increasingly rampant, J.P. Morgan and his associates gradually lowered their guard and began to participate themselves.
Making money is the most important thing.
As for whether or when the super-large dollar case will be solved, they are anxious, but not in a great hurry.
As long as they have the truth in their hands, they are not afraid.
"By the way, the Euro seems to be coming soon. Did George Herbert still fail to stop it?"
According to the Dror Report adopted in 1989.
Then they will establish and implement a European monetary union, replacing member state currencies with a single currency.
It is now 1995, and the Euro is almost ready to be born.
Based on the current situation in Europe, the Euro is already being designed and is expected to be announced and issued in the European Economic Community in 1999.
By then, everything will be set in stone, and the Federal Reserve will have one more enemy to face.
Who are the Federal Reserve's enemies now?
The number one enemy is the newly promoted super dollar factory, a counterfeit money giant.
If this thorn is not removed, the Federal Reserve will be in grave danger.
Although J.P. Morgan and his associates could use the cover of the super dollar factory to print more dollars and then pocket them.
Of course, these tycoons aren't fools; they don't just pocket the money directly from the printing plant.
Instead, they legitimize these dollars through market transactions.
With the businesses controlled by tycoons like J.P. Morgan, completing this part of the legalization process would be a piece of cake.
It's even more discreet and faster than transactions through a super dollar factory.
This is the foundation of a conglomerate.
The second enemy is, of course, Russia.
That's beyond doubt.
Although Russia is no longer what it used to be, there is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse."
When Yeltsin took over the reins from Gorbachev, he inherited more than 90 percent of the legacy.
The polar bear had died, and Morgan and his associates had taken a large share of the profits.
But it is still a polar bear, and remains very powerful.
For example, the ruble is now slowly recovering.
Within Russia, a significant amount of international trade is settled not in US dollars, but in rubles.
As is well known, Russia possesses abundant natural gas, oil, and other mineral resources.
Meanwhile, a certain large country in the Far East is rich in coal but poor in oil and gas.
Therefore, starting in the 1980s, this country began to import large quantities of oil and natural gas from abroad.
Last year, Russian oil companies proposed for the first time to build an oil pipeline directly from Siberia to a major country in the Far East.
Although it is still in the negotiation stage, the plan has not been officially launched.
But J.P. Morgan and his associates were not fools; they knew that if the plan were passed, it would inevitably affect the dollar system.
why?
This is easy to understand.
Let's assume that before the pipeline was laid, a major country in the Far East would have needed to spend ten billion US dollars annually to purchase crude oil from places like Australia, the Middle East, and the United States.
This figure of 10 billion US dollars is not fixed, but will increase with economic development.
So where did that big country in the Far East get its dollars from?
The only way to buy oil is to export large quantities of cheap goods, earn dollars in the international market, and then use those dollars to buy oil.
However, if the pipeline is successfully laid.
A certain major country in the Far East wouldn't need to spend so many US dollars; it might only need eight billion US dollars, or even just six billion US dollars.
The remaining quota can be purchased directly from the Russian channel.
It may seem like only a few billion dollars, but you have to remember that a small leak can sink a great ship.
Morgan and his associates weren't fools; they naturally understood the enormous impact such a pipeline project would have on the United States.
Furthermore, weakening Russia is the key objective.
Therefore, they will try their best to sabotage the construction of this pipeline.
The third enemy is a certain major power in the Far East.
I understand everything I understand.
The fourth enemy, naturally, is Japan.
Even after the bursting of Japan's bubble economy in the early 1990s, Japan's economy never recovered.
However, Japan remains very active in the international trade market.
In particular, Japan's six major conglomerates own a great deal of assets overseas.
These assets are located all over the world, and even J.P. Morgan and his ilk are extremely envious.
The Federal Reserve finds it difficult to maintain the dollar's dominance in 90% of global trade because of the existence of currencies like the yen and ruble.
The situation was rather chaotic, but Morgan and his associates could distinguish between enemies and friends.
"George isn't very capable. I estimate we can't stop the birth of the Euro, even if we back down a few times." (End of Chapter)
