Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, and African colonies became independent one after another. The independence of these countries was an internal division. After each independence, they still followed the British system on the surface.

The other party left the proud British with the last face, and they didn't lose everything.

But now Argentina's actions really slapped the face, and the slaps made the British ashamed in front of the whole world.

As the saying goes, slapping people does not slap people in the face. If the proud British people are indifferent to this face being slapped in public, then someone may come up and step on it in the future.

In the Falklands War, Britain mobilized all the warships left over from World War II and went all out to fight.

The Argentine military government launched a small-scale trial war just to divert domestic attention. Although the Argentine military government took the lead in provoking the whole incident, they had no intention of fighting the British from the beginning to the end.

The lion still needs all its strength to fight the rabbit, let alone facing a former superpower like the United Kingdom.

Obviously, there is no need to fight this battle, and the result has already been reached.

Chapter 687 Inflation

Since the beginning of April, the world situation has suddenly become tense. On the basis of the Cold War, the whole world is like a powder keg that is about to be ignited. No one knows whether the Falklands War will become the fuse of the Third World War.

Britain and Argentina are not comparable to the small countries in the Middle East and Africa. One is a big country in Europe and the other is a big country in South America. Once the two countries really go to an all-out war, no one can guarantee what will happen next.

While countries around the world are closely watching Britain and Afghanistan, they are also secretly wary of each other in private.

The fuse of World War I, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were shot dead by Serbian youth Gavrilo Princip while they were inspecting in Sarajevo.

In the Sarajevo incident, a small assassination led to the outbreak of the First World War. Now Argentina and the United Kingdom are fighting directly, which is much more intense than the assassination.

There was only 20 years between the First World War and the Second World War. Now more than 30 years have passed since the end of the Second World War, almost 40 years. No one can guarantee whether the Third World War will break out in an all-round way.

In the early 80s, the polar bear was at its peak, and there were still ten years before its disintegration. At this time, no country in the world would have thought that ten years later, the giant polar bear would fall down without a word.

The First World War and the Second World War brought unprecedented catastrophe to mankind and brought huge disasters to the countries participating in the war. The legacy of the two wars has not completely dissipated, and many people still remember it vividly. .

No one can guarantee whether the war between Britain and Afghanistan will involve the United States and the Soviet Union. If the two superpowers are involved, then the Third World War will be impossible even if they don't want to.

When people all over the world were panicking, while Yang Chen signed an investment agreement with the Australian government, he secretly directed Yuan Tianfan in London and He Hongtao in Argentina to start a money-circulating plan.

In London, Yang Chen was doing it with great fanfare. With the start of the Falklands War, the London stock market has been completely messed up, with blood scattered across the board. Except for a few arms companies, the stocks of other companies have fallen to the point where they have no friends.

After two world wars, although the British were very angry about Argentina's war, both the high-level people and the people at the bottom of society clamored overwhelmingly to make Argentina look good.

However, if you say that you support it, the stocks in the stock market should fall or have to fall. Stocks were first invented by the British. Everyone knows that once a war breaks out, it cannot be controlled by others. Once Britain falls into the quagmire of war No matter how valuable the stock is in your hand, it will eventually become a blank sheet of paper.

Therefore, the clamor is the clamor, and when it is time to let go, the British are also very straightforward and unambiguous.

Yang Chen knows that this battle will not last long. Although the impact is great, it cannot shake the foundation of Britain. This war will not implicate many British companies. The drop in stock price is only temporary. After the war is over, it will recover quickly .

All in all, Yang Chen made Yuan Tianfan feel at ease and boldly buy the stocks of major listed companies in the UK.

At this time, no matter how low the price is, you can receive the stocks you want, and you can increase the leverage with the principal. In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Chen's play is very crazy, he is no different from a madman or a gambler.

Yang Chen didn't care about this, whether he was a lunatic or a gambler, he would know after the war in Britain.

And the British government was quite surprised by Yang Chen's actions, especially the royal family. Originally, everyone thought that Yang Chen mobilized funds to enter the London stock market to take advantage of the instability of the pound to make a fortune. Who would have thought that the other party would actually Under the circumstances that everyone is not optimistic, it is really surprising to buy the stocks of listed companies in the UK.

Different from the big moves in England, Yang Chen's actions in Argentina are very cautious.

In the face of the unscrupulous Argentine military government, if he dared to make money in a big way, he might be directly attacked by others.

When a scholar meets a soldier, it is unreasonable.

People even dare to fight against Britain, what else can they not dare to do?

Compared with the British side, Yang Chen is more concerned about the benefits of the Argentine side, although Argentina can't compare with the British side in terms of military or economics.

However, Argentina is one of the largest countries in South America no matter what.

Argentina is one of the earliest independent countries in South America. With a land area of ​​nearly 300 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 5000 million, Argentina is the second largest country in South America after Brazil.

Since independence, Argentina's economy has developed rapidly. During World War I and World War II, it received a large number of European immigrants, and the domestic economy has entered the fast lane since then.

After World War II, Argentina's domestic economic development speed was not weaker than that of European developed countries, and its national strength was booming.

However, it is a pity that, like other South American countries, Argentina was deeply mired in the Latin American debt crisis during this period and could not extricate itself.

Since the end of the 70s, due to the outbreak of the second oil crisis, Argentina immediately fell into inflation, and the economic and social contradictions became increasingly acute. The inflation rate exceeded [-]%, which caused the unemployed population in Argentina to continue to rise.

The oil crisis in [-] and the sharp rise in global oil prices prompted the rapid spread of the US dollars reserved by European countries to all parts of the world, and then the oil-exporting countries deposited huge oil revenues in European international banks, and these banks in turn lent money to Developing countries, Latin American countries are the biggest beneficiaries.

The oil crisis greatly increased the international loans received by developing countries, and due to the low loan interest rate, the real interest rate was even negative. Countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico all believed that the low interest rate and the growth of export earnings would have enough fiscal revenue to repay the borrowed loans .

"Country Never Goes Bankrupt"

During this period, everyone and the country thought so. Before the Latin American crisis broke out, no one or country in the world would think that a country would go bankrupt because of loans.

However, the facts slapped everyone, especially lending countries such as Latin America.

The oil crisis not only brought serious economic impact to other countries, but also severely damaged the US economy. As a world superpower, the US will certainly not sit still. In order to stimulate the economy, after the end of the first oil crisis, the federal funds rate quickly dropped to pre-crisis levels.

Of course, this change has not yet had a major impact on the liquidity in Latin America, and Latin American countries can still persist.

However, with the outbreak of the second oil crisis in [-] and the Federal Reserve's loan interest rate continued to increase, the interest rate was raised to the highest level in history, and the balance was finally broken.

The impact of the second oil crisis far exceeded that of the first oil crisis. A large amount of funds flowed out of Latin America, the debt pressure of Latin American countries increased sharply, and fiscal deficits continued to expand.

Almost all Latin American countries are now in a debt crisis and cannot extricate themselves, and Argentina is no exception.

Chapter 688 The end of the war

The debt crisis led to increased domestic inflation in Argentina, and the immediate impact was the depreciation of the currency.

Money is worthless, prices have risen, and ten yuan can only buy things that used to cost five yuan.

The devaluation of the Argentine currency is naturally a bad thing for the Argentine people and the country, but for the financial giants, it could not be a better thing.

In any case, Argentina is a big country with a population of close to 5000 million, and it has been independent for such a long time. From the eighteenth century to the twentieth century, there was an interval of more than 200 years.

You must know that Argentina is quite rich in domestic resources. During World War I and World War II, just selling resources was enough for them to accumulate a lot of wealth.

Although Argentina, like other Latin American countries, is deeply in debt, but the thin camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Argentina is one of the old powers in South America, and it is also a developed country. Than.

Taking advantage of the high atmosphere in Argentina, er, yes, the atmosphere is high.

Contrary to what everyone thought, when the Falklands War broke out, the Argentine people were not only not worried, but were extremely excited, as if they had been beaten.

The full name of the Falkland Islands is the Malvinas Islands, also known as the Falkland Islands. It is located on the Atlantic Ocean close to the South American continent, like an open scallop, consisting of more than 300 large and small islands, covering an area of ​​more than 1 square kilometers.

The Falkland Islands are mostly mountains and hills, and the plains are small, but the marine resources here are very rich, and the minerals are mainly iron, aluminum, silver, coal, oil and so on.
