USSR 1991

Vladimir also said casually, but what Yanayev said next surprised him.

"Although this idea is not very reliable, it is not impossible to implement it. We can properly warn all speculators who want to do things in the Soviet Union."

As a political activist in the United States, Soros has always been a loyal lackey of Washington in the United States, including the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Color Revolution in Ukraine, and the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. He is the head of the White House A pawn of the horse, while creating chaos for the world situation, it also cleared the way for his financial speculation. Behind the shadow of many regional wars from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, there is this Jew with glasses.

"It's time for this arrogant Dayton Peace Prize winner to know what true communist punishment is."

Vladimir asked hesitantly, "Start with Soros? This is to tear the skin off with the United States."

"That's not true. Soros is a smart person, and only smart people can see clearly our warning methods."

Indeed, a typical Russian-Maoist problem-solving solution has appeared in Yanayev's mind. If the use of foreign exchange to consolidate the exchange rate is a positive financial contest, then his plan is more crude and direct.

Yanayev said in a cold voice, "Don't forget the purpose of communism. In our country, exploiters and opportunists are shot directly and have no sympathy!"

Chapter 993 The First Round of Financial Attack

This is the most panic-stricken moment for international financial speculators after the Hong Kong market defeat. They thought it would not take much effort to win Moscow. Soros was even ready to complete his last sniper battle here and then completely stopped. Asia The situation of economic take-off has been severely damaged in his hands, and even the effect that the CIA failed to achieve after spending a large amount of budget was dormant under his small financial means. Even Soros couldn't help admiring his own means.

This is a card to claim credit for the White House and President Mario. At least he has slowed down the economically booming East Asian countries. While disrupting the financial markets of Asian countries, Soros and other international speculators have taken advantage of the price difference and made money from it. Lots of benefits.

He has almost won 80.00% of this financial war. Apart from provoking the Chinese authority behind Hong Kong, Soros believes that no one will be his opponent.

Until the bad news came from Russia, the Soviet government announced that it would use foreign exchange to ensure the stability of the ruble's exchange rate at all costs.When Soros looked at the stern guarantee from the spokesperson of the Financial Administration on TV, there was still a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, "The little foreign exchange announced by the Soviet government wants to use it to save the market? Are these old stubborn planners Don’t you know what a financial war is?”

Soros turned off the TV, and there was nothing on the news that could attract his attention. The foreign exchange reserves announced by the Soviet government were 1030 billion US dollars. Although there was some pressure to sell short, it was not enough to be hanged by the other party, and Stop immediately when the situation is not right.So Soros doesn't have to worry about heavy losses.

He is like a cautious gambler, fiddling with the precious chips in his hands. No matter how powerful the Soviet government is, it will not let him lose more than when it attacked Hong Kong.

Thinking of this, Soros felt relieved. He who was staring at the computer screen picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and ordered in an orderly manner, "Yes, sell them all, and don't leave any money in the liquidation. Be sure to To cause a sharp drop in the exchange rate, crush the ruble."

"Transfer all the funds from more than 20 accounts in the Bank of Zurich, yes, now, put all the chips in, don't worry, our gains will be much greater than our investment."

"Hello, West? Remember this number, I will deposit all the funds into the account later, yes, wait, wait a moment."

Another phone on Soros's desk rang. He picked it up and whispered, "I'm Soros, may I ask who you are?"

The background of the guy who dialed his private phone is not too simple. The person who has spoken to him the most recently is Yellen, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. The White House is eager to know from him the extent of this invisible jihad.

"I'm Yellen."

The chairman of the Economic Advisory Council said without any ambiguity, "What's the situation now? Your Excellency has limited patience, and I hope to see results in a short time, instead of wasting time here meaninglessly."

Soros secretly scolded the old fox. The White House completely uses itself as a gun, but he is still willing to become a lackey. After all, this battle was provoked by himself. He has no choice but to continue the war. .

"We are now launching the first round of tentative attacks. The foreign exchange reserves of the Soviet Union are not that deep. The Chinese government has nearly 2000 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves, but the Soviet Union has less than half of them. It will be allocated in the next week. Win or lose, although we lost briefly in Hong Kong, we will win the final war."

Soros admitted that his loss was due to his lack of strength. The red empire behind Hong Kong was terribly capital-sufficient. With his personal wealth and other international speculators, he was definitely not their opponent. As the world's top economies Well, China is not a country with a fragile economic structure like Thailand and Indonesia. Just the red giant standing behind him can scare Soros.

As for why they dared to attack the Soviet Union, it was also because the various regulations of the other party were not perfect enough in the early stage of market economy transformation, giving them opportunities to take advantage of.I have already established relationships with some of the bank presidents before, and jointly implemented these short-selling plans.

"After drawing the Moscow government out, we will carry out the first round of fierce attack and take the opponent's high ground in one fell swoop. At that time, nearly one-third of the start-up funds will be poured in, causing the ruble to fall in an avalanche. When the time comes, the bank will It will be close to bankruptcy because of the exchange rate problem. We have estimated that if the Soviet Union really uses all 1000 billion US dollars of foreign exchange to rescue the market, it can last for a week at most, and the tiebreaker will be a week later.”

Having said that, the pressure of 1000 billion US dollars on Soros is still not small, but he can afford to wait until the Moscow Monetary Authority is at a loss, and he will use the last sum of money to make a fortune. Leave and leave the Soviet government to clean up the mess.

The shamelessness of investors knows no borders, and they swarm like a swarm of flies whenever there is a profit to be made.

Soros was the best of the bunch.

Yellen also heard the purpose of Soros' plan, and he has to say that he is very interested in this financial wizard. What will happen if he is allowed to become a loyal eagle dog of the United States?

Just one person can hinder the economic development of all second- and third-tier countries in a region. This is the real charm of capital.

"If the U.S. government can add more firewood, the effect will be better."

Soros asked tentatively, "After all, it is more certain to do so."

"Don't try to take money from the White House, Mr. Soros."

When money was mentioned, Yellen's tone also changed, "If you succeed, the White House will naturally reward you. You know this kind of policy support the most. We will not spend capital, President Mario Every dollar of money in hand needs to be reviewed by Congress."

Soros sighed, it seems that it is impossible to deal with the Soviet Union with confidence.

"I know, but it is the Soviet Union after all, and I'm afraid there will be unexpected situations when shorting the Hong Kong dollar."

Yellen's tone was a little impatient, and she said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about this later, I wish you a successful start, Mr. Soros."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, Soros was a little uneasy, he was worried that there would be some unexpected situation.At this time, the curve on the computer screen was developing in the direction he expected, and everything seemed to be under control.

But something always felt wrong.

Chapter 994 Killing the Financier

Soros did not show due concern, because in his opinion, the Slavic gray cattle can't handle things like finance at all. After more than half a century of planned economy, they need to be in line with international standards in a short period of time. It is simply a difficult thing for the strongman. Soros calculated that the Soviet Union’s oil price income was used to support the construction of the Far East, which is invincible. Therefore, the Soviet Union is not as powerful as imagined. The announced foreign exchange savings alone can show the lack of confidence.

False analysis coupled with false intelligence, Soros committed the specified error, he overestimated his own strength, while underestimating the Soviet Union's financial resources.The half-truth and half-false document circulated was originally a trap used to confuse Soros and others, and it was only after they took action that they discovered that these were all planned by the Financial Administration.

The attack on the first day quickly produced preliminary results, and the exchange rate showed large fluctuations. Soros was very satisfied with the first wave of attack. Within four to five hours, he had earned nearly one billion by means of short selling. However, the counterattack of the Soviet Union was also launched very quickly. By issuing a large amount of bonds, the exchange rate of the ruble was raised, which in turn promoted the sharp rise of the exchange rate, as if the scene of the financial war in Hong Kong at that time had first appeared.

However, according to Soros’s judgment, after the first round of aggressive rescue efforts by the Moscow government, there will be a lack of follow-up. After all, they are not as strong in capital as China, so Soros used nearly half of the account funds on hand. A challenge was launched against the ruble's exchange rate.

But he never expected that his rash decision would actually be the beginning of the collapse.

Lukashenko has already sat in the Monetary Authority and personally supervised this invisible war. He has not taken office yet, and currently he does not have to take on the daily work of the prime minister. Yanayev threw this difficult issue to him, just to see Judging from the opponent's ability, to be appreciated by General Secretary Yanayev, at least he has to show some achievements that are enough to be proud of.

Lukashenko, who has always hated capitalists and Western economic theories, adopted the simplest and rude method of freezing accounts.

Any suspicious bank account in the Soviet Union, the Soviet government has the power to freeze unconditionally, and it must be an account in the Soviet Union. This is also to reduce the emergence of some malicious short-selling speculative giants.

In just one day of the international speculators' attack, the Financial Accounts Authority locked down two banks and hundreds of accounts with suspicious capital flows.Lukashenko almost kept freezing them all, and then went to chat with the two unlucky bank presidents.

Chatting as the future Prime Minister of the Soviet Union, few people can bear this kind of pressure.

Lukashenko always spoke very calmly and asked. "I heard that your bank was involved in activities suspected of maliciously shorting and disrupting the financial market?"

"No." The bank president shook his head, almost patting his chest to assure him, "I swear that I am absolutely not involved in any illegal financial activities."

Lukashenko hummed undeniably, and greeted the people around him, "Call the comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no, call the comrades from the KGB to come in. It is impossible to talk to him calmly. I think the KGB Comrades know better than I how to get this man to talk."

The bank president looked at Lukashenko with a flustered expression, but the other party just said calmly, "Don't worry, the KGB's interrogation methods have always been very prudent, and no one can find any traces of abuse from you. Do you know about waterboarding?" It is to cover your face with a cloth, and then pour water on your face from time to time until it is too much. This method is insidious and vicious, and there will be no trace of injury."

The bank chief looks pale and could become the first person to be waterboarded for financial fraud.

"If you want to be honest, now is the time."

Lukashenko has always maintained the tone of talking like an old friend, but he almost paralyzed the bank president.He quickly explained the dealings between him and international speculators, including conniving at the random flow of funds in their accounts in a short period of time, and taking bribes.

Lukashenko nodded with a smile, and ordered the people from the Financial Management Bureau to record everything.
