Iron Bull Legend

Phelps put down the phone and sat quietly in his seat. Then he remembered that he had not drunk the red wine in his hand. He felt a dry feeling in his throat and felt even more depressed as he blinked his lips.

What happened in the past few days also made him realize a problem. This mysterious consortium following them either leaked the plan themselves or was a super speculator. Otherwise, they would not have dealt them a fatal blow at such a precise time point.

The losses during this period really drove him crazy. That was more than 10 trillion US dollars. It hurt just thinking about it. Not only did he lose his bonus, but if he really couldn't get it back, his end would definitely be very miserable. He trembled all over just thinking about it.

Not throwing him directly into the sea to feed the sharks was God's mercy to him. Phillips didn't dare to think further. The more he thought about it, the more pain his nerves felt. He could only start looking at all the traders in the room, trying to find out who was the most suspicious person.

He must find out who the traitor is, otherwise, he will be the one to die. Even if he has to find a scapegoat, he has to find that scapegoat. This is human nature.

The American government is now in chaos. All the aircraft carriers and escort fleets disappeared overnight. Even the repeated calls were silent. They are completely panicked.

There has never been such a tragic event since World War II. Two aircraft carriers and thirty warships disappeared silently. This is absolutely unacceptable. Moreover, they dare not release any information to the outside world, not even to their own citizens.

At present, the country is full of people marching and demonstrating, and anger has reached the extreme. It is like a powder keg. Even a spark of fire can detonate this time bomb, which will make us even more passive.

Just this morning, the United States' currency came under attack again in the financial market. Compared with yesterday's sudden attack, today's attack was more severe, and it immediately stunned the unprepared financial regulatory agencies of the United States. Who has the courage to short the United States' dollar?

This is the US dollar of the United States, which is the world's most popular currency issued by themselves. It is also the world's most popular hard currency. How could someone dare to come to the United States to do such a unscrupulous thing? Who is so bold and who gives them the courage?

However, such a thing actually happened, and it happened so suddenly and so violently, almost emptying all the gold in their banks. This was their country's gold reserves, and it did not relieve much pressure even after being bought out by trillions of US dollars.

This happened again today, and it was even more powerful than yesterday. Tens of trillions of US dollars were directly short-sold, which caught them off guard again. It is really despicable and they are bastards.

The people in the financial sector of the United States are shouting in anger, but, so what, you are only allowed to short sell other people's currencies, but they can't sell you? Therefore, they can only be forced to take out more reserve gold to take over.

When other countries are being sold off and shorted, they can only take out a large amount of US dollars to take over, because other countries’ own currencies cannot take over during the selling process. This is a rogue and shameless behavior of the US dollar hegemony.

Now it is their turn. They can only use their gold reserves to receive the US dollars being sold off, and then immediately return the beautifully printed banknotes that were exchanged for gold.

It's a matter of fate. Tell me, is God very fair? He has always been so kind to the United States. You can't just rely on your hegemony to refuse to accept it and let your currency depreciate sharply. If you really continue like that, what kind of impact will it have?

They knew it very well, so they could only passively accept it and passively exchange the gold in their stock for their own currency to suppress the sell-off from all over the world. For a while, the war was raging, and the US dollar of the United States suddenly rushed directly to the critical point of 30 trillion sell-offs.

Tie Niu's investment of 4 trillion US dollars this time immediately blew up the US dollar market. With the sell-off of these 4 trillion US dollars, the United States' currency plummeted all of a sudden, and it had to take out the corresponding gold from the bank again to repurchase the currency and maintain the exchange rate of the currency.

However, this wave of selling was like a domino effect, forming an avalanche effect. Other countries also followed suit and were all suspecting that the United States was really on the brink of collapse. This was the bandwagon effect, which made the United States simply unable to bear it.

Speculators around the world sold off their remaining US dollars, causing the price of gold to soar. The US government was immediately thrust into the spotlight. Before they could reap the profits of other countries, they were reaped by the entire world. The tens of trillions of US dollars sold directly broke the exchange rate of the US bank.

This was still affordable for the United States, but as the exchange rate of the US dollar increased, the prices of domestic commodities increased by more than 30 percent compared to before, and people's lives became increasingly difficult. Inflation once again plunged the United States into dire straits.

The international crude oil price, which had just been raised, fell rapidly again like a roller coaster due to the run on the US dollar, and directly dropped from US$220.35 to US$107 per barrel, making James of the oil family furious again.

Because, just when the price of crude oil was pulled down to US$220.35, it was pushed down by a crazy surge of sell orders to close positions, and then it was pushed down again by a crazy surge of short positions. The losses from this in and out almost bankrupted them.

That mysterious sell order once again caused many of their long positions to be wiped out in an instant, so James was so angry that he vomited blood and collapsed on the chair. Before he could catch his breath, the family's investors called him directly.

"James, what is going on? Why did we just receive the financial report and find out that we have lost more than 20 trillion US dollars in investment losses? Didn't you do a risk assessment?" an old voice on the phone asked sternly.

"Uncle Heimer, our long position has been blown up. Today, the crude oil price that we just pulled up was suddenly blown up. This time, I may not have the face to see you. Perhaps, I can only apologize to all shareholders with my death." James murmured weakly. Because he had been drained of all his strength at once, and the whole person collapsed on the chair.

"What? Our long positions were blown up? Why didn't you close the positions in time? Why? Are you all pigs? Huh?" Heimer's voice sounded on the other end of the phone. It sounded so familiar to James. He thought to himself, isn't this what he said to Phillips? Isn't this what he said a few hours ago?

"We also wanted to close our positions, but no one gave us time. It's not that we didn't work hard, it's not that we... Alas, we were ambushed. This time, alas... we are finished, completely finished. I won't say goodbye to my father and mother. I have tried my best in this life, and I am really unwilling to give up. It's not that I didn't work hard, but... Alas..." James really didn't expect that he would be choked to death in a pit again.

"Shut up, how much money do we have now? Although the loss is huge, we are not powerless to fight back. We can still make a comeback..." Before Heimer finished his words, he heard a sobbing voice on the phone.

"There are less than 300 million. We are really finished. If a trader hadn't sensed something was wrong and closed his position and left, all our long positions would have been wiped out. Who would have thought that when we were trying to pull it up, the US dollar would burst, and we were also hit like an avalanche. Uncle Haimer, I really tried my best, I really tried my best..."

"James, my child, I know you tried your best. I just received the news that our US dollar was suddenly shorted. All of a sudden, even those bitches in the US government had no chance to fight back. Who would have thought that our own currency would be shorted? It was really careless. They are now powerless. No one thought that someone would dare to short the US dollar? It's really audacious. It's really hard to guard against. It was blown up in less than five minutes."

"Hey, Uncle Heimer, does this mean that not only has the price of our crude oil futures been hit, but the price of the US dollar has also been targeted? Tell me, tell me quickly who did this? I'm going to tear him apart. I can't resign myself to this. The honor and industry of our oil family have been ruined by me." James' face was full of tears and he suddenly became ferocious in anger.

"It's too late to say anything now. However, we still have some fixed assets and some resources, and we still have a chance to turn the situation around. However, I don't know if those oil mines in the Middle East can still..." Heimer couldn't continue.

This is because the loss this time has made them like a toothless tiger. If they still have the protection of the capital giants of the military-industrial group, they can still hold on. At least, they can replenish their blood within a month if they go full throttle. However, now it is really unknown whether the countries in the Middle East can ensure that they can continue to develop those oil well resources.

"Uncle Heimer, do you mean that our overseas oil wells may not be safe?"

"Well, now, according to the feedback I received, our American government's overseas troops have landed yesterday, but their situation is very bad. Hundreds of people died overnight. I don't know why those little sheep in Mesopotamia were like chicken blood, and they directly opened fire on our troops. What's more hateful is that their untouchables also attacked our army. It really surprised us that they dared to attack us and shoot us."
