Rebirth of Military Workers

"Are you about to launch an attack?"

Soros looked at Vincent Foster.

Vincent Foster nodded: "The offensive deployment has been fully completed. When the deadline is reached, Iraq will not withdraw its troops and immediately launch a full-scale offensive."

Soros thought for a while.

"In this case, there is at least one month's increase. This time the Chinese boy must have made a mistake in his judgment. Let's continue to be bullish and not follow him to see how much money he has to short the market."

Soros didn't know where Xie Kai had the courage. Under such a good market situation, he dared to short the international crude oil futures.

Unless there is a huge supply of oil, it is impossible for oil prices to fall sharply.

The international oil supply is inherently tight, and there is a shortage of oil supplies from the two major oil-producing countries, Iraq and Kuwait, and the entire international oil market has even more serious gaps.

So far, I haven't heard of any country that has discovered a large oil field, nor has I heard of a country that has achieved large-scale oil growth to fill the huge gap in the international market.

Gulf oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are desperately increasing oil production, while oil-producing countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and even Mexico are also vigorously increasing oil production. They cannot fill the gap in the international market due to the loss of crude oil supplies from Iraq and Kuwait in the short term .

With the development of the international economy, the demand for oil in Asian countries has greatly increased.

Especially in China, with the rapid economic development, the oil imported every year is also increasing.

International oil demand has greatly increased, but supply has decreased. Under such circumstances, how can international oil prices fall sharply?

"Staring at the international oil futures market, especially related news, once there is a change, immediately sell it, they should not make such a decision for a gamble..."

When Soros's team worked on international oil futures, they not only smashed all their funds into it, but also borrowed leverage to pursue higher profits.

Once oil prices do fall sharply, to the extent that Qi Zhengshan and others are short-selling, the drop will exceed $10 a barrel, and the position will be liquidated and the losses will be very heavy.

Soros and others feel that international oil cannot fall sharply.

Few other investment institutions in the world will follow the lunatics from Xiangjiang.

Many people have analyzed Qi Zhengshan's investment cases in the past few years, and every time he went slant, there was no mistake and no loss.

The profit is not due to Qi Zhengshan's keen sense of smell, but good luck.

Just like he was once known as the god of the stock market, he had bad luck at that time, and his investment failed one after another.

Everyone believes that the Xiangjiang stock god and Oriental Buffett made a wrong judgment on international oil futures this time and will lose a lot of money as a result.

Many funds followed the trend when Qi Zhengshan and others deployed. At that time, international oil prices continued to rise when a large amount of speculation funds poured in. Now the futures market is in a good situation, and naturally they will not follow Qi Zhengshan and others.

Instead, they continued to take over the delivery orders thrown by Qi Zhengshan and others.

As long as there is a single thrown out, countless people will take over.

Qi Zhengshan and others sold the oil futures in their hands, which triggered a wave of international increases. In just one day, without any stimulus, countless buyers who could not buy kept increasing their prices. International oil prices were very high. It quickly rises to $34 per barrel.

Qi Zhengshan and others are even more painful.

United States, White House.

Treasury Secretary Baker looked at the president with a serious expression, hoping that he would give an excuse.

"Your Excellency, this matter cannot continue. The international oil price has risen to 34 U.S. dollars per barrel, and domestic production costs have risen sharply. This not only has a very negative impact on our economy, but also affects our financial markets. . A lot of money left the stock market..."

As the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, Baker believes that the sharp rise in oil will make the United States' already slow economy even worse.

As the chairman of the regime fair, David Luther also complained to the president several times.

"As the international oil price has risen wildly, a large amount of funds have been withdrawn from the stock market. The stock market has experienced serious capital outflows, and the decline is not small... Only crude oil-related stocks are relatively active, and technology and industrial stocks have been severely affected..."

The rise in international oil has a great impact on the economic development of a country.

Especially like the United States, as the world's largest oil importer, both production and life consume a lot of crude oil every day.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

As the price of crude oil rises, the cost is naturally high.

When a large number of American industries rose sharply in international oil, production costs rose even more ridiculously, and corporate profits were consumed by high oil costs.

In just a few months, thousands of American companies that needed large amounts of crude oil declared bankruptcy and are undergoing bankruptcy and liquidation.

Bush comforted the leaders of the Treasury Department: "You guys, please rest assured that our army will soon take action, and at the same time, our secret agency will also suppress oil prices when the army takes action... Don’t let this continue too much. Long."

"President, it’s not that we are not at ease, but that the U.S. economy is unable to withstand the further rise in oil... Even the economies of European countries are getting worse and worse. If we continue, no one will be able to bear the impact of such results on the economy. The round of financial crisis will break out again..."

Baker's face was full of seriousness.

He told the President that if the matter is not resolved, the consequences will be unbearable by the US government.

The U.S. government was preparing to fight Iraq, and the Secretary of the Treasury asked the president and his staff to consider it clearly.

War can stimulate the domestic military industry and, in some respects, can drive economic development.

But the Middle East is related to the lifeline of the world economy.

The supply of crude oil has been drastically reduced, and international oil prices have risen sharply. The rising oil prices will be borne by the production costs of various enterprises.

What's terrible is that in order to solve the huge fiscal deficit problem, the government has also invested a large amount of money in the international crude oil market...

Many of the current delivery orders have been thrown out by secret investment institutions under the US government.

The President once assured the Ministry of Finance that it will not take too long and will quickly suppress oil prices, and at the same time, it will provide the Ministry of Finance with huge profits.

"We need to wait until the deadline. Please rest assured that it will not exceed a week..."

Bush once again assured several people.

Many experts in the international market say that the price of oil will rise to $40 per barrel, and the president is naturally very clear.

Many experts are arranged by the government to allow more people to take over the current international oil futures orders.

At that time, these investment institutions and investors who want to make money in the international oil futures market will become the sheep who are cut by the US government.

They will help the US government bear the cost of rising oil.

At the same time, this is also related to the U.S. government's plan to completely link world oil to the U.S. dollar. Once realized, the U.S. will let countries all over the world help the U.S. share the cost.

Too many debts?

It's okay, just depreciate the dollar.

Depreciation by 20%, debt will shrink by 20%, so cool.

Dismissing the bigwigs in the financial world, the President once again called a meeting with senior generals from the Ministry of Defense.

Looking at his generals, Bush said: "Gentlemen, our economy can no longer withstand the consequences of rising international oil. What do you have to say about this?"

"Your Excellency, we have completed the operational deployment and can launch an offensive against the Iraqi army at any time. At the same time, the international oil market, which is secretly invested by the defense department, has also been deployed, and the layout has begun to short-sell, and war funds will also be borne... Only in this way In order to quickly and drastically suppress international oil prices..."

Deputy Minister Ansnio reported on the current situation to the President.

The Ministry of Defense has long been prepared for the offensive.

"What about our newly developed weapons and equipment?"

The president is most concerned about this.

New weapons need to be tested by war.

"Your Excellency, these are used to test the achievements of our military-industrial units in recent years of military technology research and development and advanced equipment that is close to you. The preparations have been completed and the deployment has been completed...Electromagnetic weapons, graphite bombs, etc. have been deployed to Saudi Arabia, depleted uranium bombs. It was also delivered to Saudi Arabia..."

Secretary of Defense Faircam reassures the president.

These weapons will definitely be tested on the Iraqi army.

"According to the combat plan provided by the Joint Theater Command, the U.S. Central Headquarters Commander General Schwarzkopf, and the Chief of Staff General MacDill, the air force will be used to strike against military targets in Iraq before the start of the war. Bombers Launch cruise missiles from warships to test our ability to accurately strike targets in a long-range manner; focus on the F-117 stealth attack aircraft to attack important areas such as Iraqi radar stations, command centers, and airports to test the penetration of our stealth attack aircraft. Performance; the subsequent long-term aerial bombardment of Iraq, the ground forces will be dispatched to attack only after the Iraqi command system is determined to be paralyzed, and the ground forces may launch an attack in advance..."

The Secretary of Defense personally reported on the combat plan.

"Has all the advanced weapons and equipment been shipped?"

The President confirmed it again.

"It's all shipped."

Hearing this, the president was relieved.

Most advanced weapons have not been developed for a long time and have not been tested in actual combat.

Congress simply does not agree that the Department of Defense purchases too much, and the prices of these weapons are too high.

Congress needs to see the effects of actual combat tests before it will consider approving large-scale purchases by the Department of Defense.

It just so happens that this time is the best test opportunity.

It is not easy to find an opponent like Iraq. ,

As the spokesperson of the domestic military-industrial federation, the president naturally hopes to give full play to the advantages of these weapons.

Let the bragging Iraqi army test the power of weapons and equipment, thereby preventing Congress from cutting military expenditures and ensuring the interests of the military-industrial complex. ,

At the same time, it can also deter the Soviet army.

After all, the Iraqi army was built according to the Soviet army's construction model.

No matter how huge the torrent of steel, under the new style of American warfare, there will no longer be any advantages at all.

"Your Excellency, whether it is our long-range bomber force or warship, they are all ready to launch missiles at any time..."
