Chapter 619 Stock Market Crash: America’s Crazy Military Gamble

The United States, Island Country, Britain, Gaul, West Prussia, Garden Country, Kangaroo Country, Windmill Kingdom, Maple Leaf Country.

Capital-developed countries are like dominoes.

The U.S. stock index collapsed, and stock indexes in various countries also began to fluctuate violently.

Investors from all over the world agree on one thing.

A crisis that horrifies countless Americans.

In 1929, the Great Depression occurred.

The precursor to the Great Depression in the United States was the stock market crash.

The prelude was the collapse of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

In one week, it fell 22%.

That year, the United States entered an unprecedented economic winter.

Countless companies went bankrupt and capital tycoons fell to the bottom of society.

If it weren't for the emergence of President Franklin, the United States would probably have been completely devastated.

The nearly two-week-long decline has made only a few people feel that a stock market crash may occur.

More investors and capitalists are still dreaming that everything will return to normal.

The crisis is getting worse.

The war in which the multinational coalition forces attacked the country of Lak suddenly became less noticeable.

In early November, senior U.S. officials repeatedly injected funds into the stock market but were unable to stabilize it.

In the circular office, President Reagan seemed to have aged by several decades.

In a few months, he would be able to smoothly hand over power and leave this place of trouble. Why did God play such a big joke on him?

The military offensive against Latin America made no progress, and the stock market crash caused the U.S. economy to face its worst recession since 1929.

Compared to President Reagan, the cabinet members were more anxious.

President Reagan is about to leave the round office and become a civilian.

However, senior cabinet officials will not lose their power as a result.

Many people have already been designated as the next cabinet members or important department heads.

If the economic crisis causes the United States to collapse, everyone will be held responsible for this crisis.

"Mr. President, the only way now is to issue national debt as soon as possible and gather the power of the entire capital world to help us overcome this difficult time!"

"Mr. Vice President, I have contacted the European countries. These countries also need funds to cope with the difficulties and are unable to buy our national bonds. In addition, many countries have revealed that they plan to withdraw their troops from Lak."

The Minister of Economy gave an answer that left everyone despairing.

It is impossible for European allies to purchase Treasury bonds to help the United States cope with its difficulties.

Not only were they unwilling to lend a helping hand, they even planned to recall all the troops sent to the country of Lak.

On one side is the economic crisis, and on the other side is the high cost of war.

In peacetime, Western allies are willing to assist the United States in military operations.

Whenever faced with the trouble of crisis itself, these people only have themselves in mind.

A cabinet member said: "In fact, we should think about the selfishness of Western countries. It is no problem to let them fight a favorable battle, but it is more difficult to ask them to provide us with blood transfusion assistance than to kill them."

"The best way is to ask desert countries to buy a large amount of our national debt. If they don't buy, we will use the army to force them to buy."

Next, several other cabinet members expressed their opinions.

The United States has no money anymore.

Years of fiscal deficits forced the Round Office to choose war as the solution to the problem.

The original intention was to complete the strategy against the country of Lak with lightning speed, consolidate the US military threat in the desert area, and in this way threaten the desert countries to obey the US's orders.

The oil settlement policy is firmly tied to the US dollar, and the wealth of desert countries is being squeezed step by step.

However, plans did not change quickly.

No one expected that a stock market crash comparable to the economic depression of 1929 would occur in the United States in the blink of an eye.

The stock market crash affected the global economy and the status of the US dollar was shaky.

The Minister of Economy said in a serious tone: "Mr. President, please make a decision as soon as possible. Currently, in addition to a large amount of foreign capital fleeing the United States, countless people are queuing up at banks to try to redeem their treasury bonds."

"what?!"

President Reagan stood up suddenly and asked in astonishment: "Tell me again, how many people are ready to exchange their bonds?"

The Minister of Economy said bitterly: "Too many, it is difficult to count the exact number. Banks and economic departments in various cities are facing runs. People no longer trust the national debt in their hands, just like people lost confidence in the US dollar back then."

Two years ago, the US dollar depreciated significantly.

The United States’ response plan is also to increase the national debt and, through various propaganda efforts, induce European countries and its own people to buy national debt.

We overcame the last difficult period by using funds from purchasing government bonds.

Now, a large amount of capital is fleeing the United States, and the country's people are ready to abandon their national debt.

Given the current financial situation in the United States, it is unable to redeem the treasury bonds in the hands of ordinary people.

Since the United States is trying to pry open the door to the desert world through war, it might as well do it thoroughly.

Two hundred thousand American troops are enough to threaten desert countries to purchase a certain amount of national debt.

Of course, this will have two consequences.

First, the desert countries fear the military threat from the United States and are willing to spend money to increase their holdings of national debt.

Second, it is very likely to stand by Abdul and the RAK and fight the United States to the end through military struggle.

The US deputy commander said disdainfully: "Even if these countries stand together, what can they do? Their military strength is not enough to confront us. If they stand on the opposite side of us, we will have sufficient reasons to support puppets in these countries and turn the authorities who oppose us into vassals who are dependent on us."

As the words fell, Commander Reagan's solemn expression gradually disappeared.

Support puppets, subvert other countries, find excuses for aggressive wars, and stand on the moral high ground to attack countries that refuse to obey the United States.

To use the majority to bully the few and the strong to oppress the weak.

These are the most commonly used methods in the United States.

If we can achieve success in one battle, we can spread the war from Lak to the entire desert world and defeat the regular armies of various countries.

Civil unrest will surely occur in all countries, and they will take this opportunity to support puppets to take power.

Replace them with a group of princes and nobles who are willing to serve the United States as dogs.

Thinking of this, a resolute expression appeared on Commander Reagan's face.

It's a crazy solution, but it works.

Desert countries have one common characteristic: the richer they are, the weaker their combat effectiveness.

No matter how many modern weapons these countries buy from the United States, it cannot change the fact that they are all waste.

The upper class is extremely wealthy, and the lower class people also have bulging pockets.

How could these cowardly soldiers be a match for the American soldiers?

Moreover, the weapons used by these countries almost all come from the United States.

The United States can sell them weapons, but it can also limit the use of those weapons.

"Convene the military leaders and hold a joint strategic meeting."

After a moment, Commander Reagan decided to take a gamble.

Exchange war for economy.

Get enough money through military gambling.

Change the deficit dilemma and eliminate the threat posed by the economic crisis to the United States.
