Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Chapter 366: Without sufficient economic reserves, how can we maintain the military system?

The year is 1985, six years before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

At the same time as the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States tore off its mask of kindness and revealed its hideous face.

With dozens of thugs and allies, he set up a huge encirclement of Longguo.

The honeymoon period is over, and all technologies and commodities that can help the development of Longguo have been listed as controlled items by the United States.

Even if some event nodes in this time and space change, the Soviet Union can continue to survive for a few more years, it still cannot change the inevitable result of the United States targeting Longguo.

During the Cold War, all countries with a bit of capability were full of martial virtues.

Needless to say, the Dragon Kingdom has the strongest army on earth.

The arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union for nearly four decades has produced various weapons that can kill humans hundreds of times.

And not a single one will be left, kill them all.

Chief Mustafa said: "I agree to come with you, which means I trust you unconditionally. In this economic war, I don't care how much money our Di City can make. What I care about is blocking the interference of the United States in the desert area."

"This is the most important thing to me. I hope Mr. Lin can understand that once you start, you must show no mercy."

"Hahaha, Your Highness, great minds think alike."

Lin Kaifeng laughed loudly and said, "You countries hate the United States' meddling in your affairs, and the Northern Machinery Group is also worried that the island country's enterprises today will become our tomorrow."

"Our group's products are selling well in the U.S. market and have completely replaced products from the island countries."

From the perspective of interests, Lin Kaifeng and Chief Mustafa have the same idea.

The desert countries have severely damaged the United States, and it is unable to interfere in their affairs.

Only if the United States temporarily curbs its hegemony can the oil autonomy of all countries be guaranteed.

Lin Kaifeng also wants to bring the United States to its knees.

Chief Mustafa nodded. There are more than a dozen major oil-producing countries in the desert area, and they have more money than they can spend in their lifetime.

Earning more or less doesn't make any sense to them.

The reason why they agreed to participate in Lin Kaifeng's foreign exchange plan was simply to severely damage the United States and make it unable to interfere in desert affairs.

From the discovery of the first oil field in the desert at the end of the last century to the present, the United States can be seen behind any oil business.

Even though the desert countries have regained control of most of the oil fields through bloodshed and sacrifice, they still cannot escape the influence of the United States.

The United States uses threats and other means to require other countries to sign an agreement with them to use the US dollar as the currency for oil settlement.

After signing the agreement, the United States wrote countless blank checks.

Promising to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds is a business that is sure to make money.

The more the United States behaves like this, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion.

Chief Mustafa is well aware that signing the agreement and purchasing U.S. treasury bonds is tantamount to complete dependence on the United States.

Oil is settled in US dollars. It is impossible to use the funds in hand to buy a large amount of US Treasury bonds and then cut off ties with the United States.

Once the United States is seriously damaged in this exchange rate economic war, it will take at least three to five years to recover.

A few years is enough time for Chief Mustafa to complete all the layout work he wants to do.

Try to avoid the United States from completely controlling Di City.

The cooperation between the two people is completely based on their respective needs.

Since the 90s, the humiliation inflicted by the United States on China has been greater than in the previous thirty years combined.

What does it rely on?

Naturally, it is strong military and economic strength.

The Dragon Country must not only develop its economy, but also enhance its military research and development and military construction.

Before the fallout, we will have a modern army that can compete with the United States.

Up to now, Northern Machinery Group is involved in more than a dozen fields.

Machinery, home appliances, semiconductors, chemicals, automobile manufacturing, clothing and food...

Lin Kaifeng also helped a large number of domestic companies develop by investing in them.

When Northern Machinery Group is fully grown and enters the international market in big strides, it will also lead many domestic enterprises to conquer overseas markets.

Thinking of this, Lin Kaifeng's mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.

If the United States is severely damaged in the economic war, can the plan to link oil and the US dollar be implemented smoothly?

Without sufficient economic reserves, how can the United States maintain its huge military system?

Will the Star Wars project be aborted?

Star Wars is not only the United States' anti-missile project, but also represents a new round of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in the field of space.

The space race was expensive, and even the average person can tell you how much it cost.

The United States is fleecing the island country, but it doesn't know that behind them, Lin Kaifeng is sharpening his knife.

We need to cut off a large piece of meat from the United States and the island countries respectively.

If this operation is successful, Northern Machinery Group will no longer have to worry about funding issues for at least the next 20 years.

And we have the ability to turn several key projects into reality within two years.

Including satellite navigation research, large aircraft projects, and nanolithography machines.

A few days later, an unexpected incident attracted the attention of journalists from various countries on the island.

The island nation’s finance minister suddenly disappeared.

Only Lin Kaifeng knew that the island country’s finance minister did not disappear, but went to the United States on a secret visit and entered the Plaza Hotel.

Discuss currency appreciation with finance ministers of several other countries.

Soon, the Plaza Accord appeared in news programs and newspaper headlines in media around the world.

Lin Kaifeng and the traders hired by Chief Mustafa all took their positions.

The United States, which had been preparing for many years, sold off US dollars at the first opportunity, using this method to achieve the goal of devaluing the US dollar.

In ten days, the U.S. and many other countries' finance departments sold a total of nearly 70 billion U.S. dollars to the market.

Countries that artificially intervene in the depreciation of the US dollar have used various methods to increase the value of the island nation's currency.

Hundreds of employed traders opened hundreds of thousands of accounts and had only one job to do every day: to eat up the US dollars that appeared in the market.

Twelve days later, the United States once again sold 30 billion US dollars to the market.

In total, the amount of US dollars sold reached hundreds of billions.

Chief Mustafa's funds are about to run out, and the funds raised by the Northern Machinery Group are also running out.

As a last resort, Lin Kaifeng contacted General Liu and borrowed 20 billion US dollars from the bank.

Relying on two large-scale arms exports, the military-industrial system earned 640 billion US dollars.

One third of it was borrowed by Lin Kaifeng.

All invested in the foreign exchange market.

One month after the Plaza Accord, investors from various countries discovered an unusual situation. The U.S. dollar did depreciate slightly, but the island nation's currency not only did not appreciate, but depreciated as well.

Unlike the stunned finance departments and investors of various countries, the people of the island continue to indulge in their dreams of prosperity.

As night falls, numerous boutiques in the metropolitan area light up brightly.

Young men and women from the island country flocked into the store to shop.

Every time I go out, there will inevitably be a lot of shopping bags.

There was absolutely no sign of impending disaster.
