Chapter 736 The third blow, the financial storm!
The "Abyss Stalker" is fully powered in the Atlantic Ocean. The power generated by the superconducting magnetic fluid injector can make it reach a speed of more than 60 knots per hour. When needed, it can even accelerate to 100 knots in a short time, which is simply an oversized super torpedo!
Such a monster is invincible in the deep sea, but the vibration caused is extremely small. The specially designed front end will produce an oversized cavitation covering the surface when it moves forward rapidly. Even if it does not activate the weak electromagnetic repulsion shield, it can ensure quiet and high-speed stealth. In addition, its pressure-resistant shell can easily reach a depth of 1,000 meters, no country in the world has the ability to discover it!
It took a day to cross the Atlantic Ocean and go directly into the New York Bay, drill holes in the deep waters and go straight under the Federal Reserve Bank of Manhattan's Financial District.
This bank is the second most gold store in the world after the Bank of England. It opens up half a football field-sized space in the granite layer 15 meters below sea level. The natural environment provides it with a super defense and stable foundation that is almost impossible to dig through. The upper Renaissance building provides enough buffer thickness. Even the super ground-boring bomb in Zhu Bin's hand may not be able to rush here in one breath, and it also has to face a thick reinforced layer of reinforced concrete!
Compared with the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve Bank's gate design is even stronger than that! It uses high-strength alloy to create a circular drum-shaped structure weighing 90 tons, which is set on a 140 tons frame. Its own strength is that even if the main gun of the battleship is close to the design, it will not be able to penetrate it!
Every time I open this weird door, I actually have to slowly turn the 90-ton cylinder to light it out. Usually, it is simply a super thick seamless steel barrel, with air not smooth, let alone stealing. So, in theory, it cannot be broken here, and it cannot be stolen!
Same, Americans never thought that there would be a monster like "Abyss Stalker" in the world!
Combining the advanced technology of the interstellar spacecraft, the high-power ultrasonic gun driven by nuclear power and the pulsed laser barrier-breaking mechanism can penetrate almost all obstacles in the world. As long as it is given enough time, even the Himalayas can easily drill a transparent hole! What's more, a mere Manhattan Island!
The drilling of "Abyss Rider" will hardly cause too much vibration. The stable rock formations of Manhattan Island also make it easy for people above to notice the changes. No one at midnight did not expect such a danger to happen, so the tragedy was born!
The total gold reserves in the entire United States are more than 8,000 tons, and only half of them are stored here. This is part of the debts paid after the last war, and part of them was sold during the Great Depression. After Germany's rise, it was worried about being captured by Hitler and transferred nearly 2,000 tons in advance. At the same time, as pledge, a large amount of materials and weapons were purchased from the United States.
In short, there are at least more than a thousand tons of gold from the British here!
Compared to London, which has a tight security guard, the Americans who thought they were completely out of world disputes and regarded the United States as a paradise, never expected to be robbed so wildly. After the "Abyss Rider" easily broke through, he still emptied more than 100 compartments of the vault and transferred it to a disguised cargo ship in New York Harbor. Then he left a vault full of water and left!
However, this time is obviously not as perfect as last time. Compared with the conservative and stubborn British, Americans are more likely to accept new things. The secret shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank are also partners of the WorldCom Group. Therefore, they secretly learned the electronic supervision and alarm system installed in the Shanghai branch of Citibank, which is a branch of the WorldCom Holdings.
Under the secret promotion of Bell Labs and Morgan Electromagnetic Laboratory, they also created their first alarm device. However, they were not completely blocked. When the gold in the vault was replaced by a large amount of river water, the air was polluted, and the sensitive probe placed outside was corroded, the alarm sounded in the bank guard room as soon as possible!
The armed guards who flocked to the bank manager came and opened the door, and were immediately rushed out by the surging river. The diver went down to search and concluded that the gold was stolen! But no one knew where it was gone!
Although the "Abyss Rider" carefully sealed the holes at both ends when retreating, it was different from before, and Americans were not fools. It was impossible for so much water to come from other places except the Hudson River. After starting the high-power pump to draw the water in the vault, they quickly discovered the traces of large holes at the bottom. What was strange was that the granite layer seemed to have melted again and solidified again!
Has hell? Perhaps, the bankers absolutely don't believe there is that thing! The shareholders of the Federal Reserve Bank are actually the major consortiums that control American finance. They directly control the US currency issuance rights and indirectly manipulate the US government. They have great power and are well-informed. They made a fuss in less than an hour, and someone robbed them!
The big guys who realized the seriousness of the matter did not reveal the news, but the tabloid reporters everywhere in the United States noticed the movement. Hundreds of police and National Guard soldiers were dispatched together, the Air Force and Navy mobilized together, Manhattan Island and New York City were surrounded and investigated strictly. All municipal engineering staff canceled the holidays together, and sewage flowed across Manhattan Street seemed to explode water pipes, and the center of the storm was the Federal Reserve Bank!
What else can happen? The bank must have been robbed!
If you can use so much power to intercept, the robbery is probably worthless! It is no secret that there is a super vault below. Tabby reporters these days have no moral integrity. They can even call them aliens when they see strange-looking stray dogs on the street, let alone such explosive news!
For a time, the rumors about the "Federal Reserve Bank's vault was stolen" were in full swing!
The bank manager hurriedly held a press conference to deny it, and played a video of hundreds of kilograms of heavy gold bricks on the shelves in the vault on the spot. However, this became more and more like "no silver here, three hundred taels of silver". The tabloids who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more riotous. In less than a morning, the whole world learned about this earth-shaking news!
At this time, two modified cargo ships containing more than 10,000 tons of gold had just entered the Atlantic Ocean. A fleet of dozens of ships was sailing slowly towards the Panama Canal.
In the top office of GD Group Building in Shanghai, Zhu Bin put his legs on the table, tilted his body and held a tabloid fax in his hand, sucking his teeth and sighed: "Oh! This job is not done well enough, and it was discovered by the American devils in less than a day. It still needs to be improved!"
Serena was wearing a slim suit and skirt, looking hot and charming, and put the latest news of the movements of various countries on the table, and responded casually: "It was exposed too early, and the two ships may not be able to come back! You must make other plans!"
Zhu Bin stared at the Fenglong breast that was exposed when she leaned over, and laughed: "With the domineering and arrogant foreigners, the ships that drove from their ports in the past few days will be intercepted and randomly checked! Compared to losses, they would rather be threatened by the ship owners! But it doesn't matter whether they will come back or not. What's important is that they will lose this batch of gold forever, and our subsequent actions can begin!"
Serena nodded: "I'll call them in!" She turned around and went out with her waist.
"It's so fatal!" Zhu Bin held his chin outside and looked at her round buttocks, making a lewd moan. The smile on the corner of his mouth completely ruined his dignity when he was in front of others!
Serena didn't look back, and gently pointed her fingers back. A flash of lightning hit Zhu Bin's chest, making him scream. The chair "bang" hit the bulletproof glass window behind her. Despite the thick curtains, it still made the amorphous transparent metal material that could withstand the direct shot of the 105mm cannon and buzzed.
"Looking for such a woman will be reduced by at least ten years!" Zhu Bin muttered himself, waved his hand and pulled off the carbonized shirt, took out one from the drawer under the desk and put it on.
The door was knocked, and then, Zhang Guoshu walked in with more than a dozen backbones. He arranged in an arc and half circle around the desk very consciously. Zhu Bin solemnly stuffed the hem into his belt, which made the person who had just seen Serena go out couldn't help but look strange on his face.
Zhu Bin probably felt something wrong with the atmosphere, coughed dryly and raised the tabloid fax at them, shouting: "Everyone probably knows it! The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States was stolen! According to our information, this matter should be certain! Hehe, although I don't know which hero did the good thing, I have to say that it was a big help for our actions! So I think the time for action has come!"
A group of backbones looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces. They had just learned the news, but they all subconsciously thought that the tabloids were talking nonsense! But judging from Zhu Bin's appearance, this matter is accurate!
Stephen Siegel, who once hangs on Wall Street and has now become the world's leading financial tycoon and is in charge of Zhu Bin's GD Bank Fund's overseas operations, said seriously: "I have to say that this person is the most courageous in the world! However, I think it's better to be cautious. If you know so much gold, you can't ship it out of the United States at all. Maybe it's a trap they deliberately set when they know our actions!"
Zhu Bin nodded with satisfaction: "It is good to be cautious! But I think that regardless of the truth or false news, our established plan will remain unchanged, and the arrow will be on the string. I announce that from today on, the 'financial storm' operation will be implemented immediately! Do you have the confidence to join me to overturn the great powers' stalls?!"
His burly and majestic figure showed a mountain of majesty under the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Not only did his subordinates feel oppressed from the bottom of their hearts, but also had a surge of trust. It was also the implementation of such an unprecedented crazy plan. The Chinese employees couldn't wait to get ready to shout excitedly!
"Where will the boss point, where will we rush! He will beat the foreigners!"
Stephen Siegel and a few Western employees suddenly showed embarrassment and dissatisfaction on their faces. Zhu Bin raised his hand and pressed it down and said seriously: "Don't engage in ethnic attacks! You must know that there are many talents like Mr. Siegel in our team!"
Several Chinese people realized that they seemed to be a little lost and immediately apologized for them.
Stephen's face was a thickness that was impossible to penetrate. It immediately turned cloudy and turned sunny. He waved his hand with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Everyone has been bullied and squeezed and sold out by those stubborn bankers. It's normal to have such an emotion!"
Turning his head and asking Zhu Bin: "So, dear boss! What is our first goal?"
Zhu Bin narrowed his eyes slightly and poked the tabloid with his finger: "Since this is the case, let's start with gold! In order to solve the troubles caused by the Great Depression, the Americans not only lowered the exchange rate of the US dollar to the pound by 40%, and actively depreciated caused huge losses to the British, but also tried to stabilize the exchange rate between gold and the US dollar at 35 US dollars per ounce, and then develop a comprehensive dominance of world currency settlement with the pound! The first thing we have to do is to break their plan and first pull the gold price up! Then the silver price is down, and I can see if the Americans can withstand it!"
He chose the United States as his goal, and since he wanted to engage in an economic war, Britain and the United States were the two main opponents. Although the British were temporarily strong, they had done their best to deal with the Germans. Not only did they have no sense of accomplishment, they also did not help the current crisis.
The Americans are different. They got great benefits in the last war. This time, they obviously wanted to use the same trick again. If Zhu Bin attacked the British, it would only allow the United States to completely consolidate the hegemony of the US dollar and would have no spare energy to deal with them at that time.
Therefore, Zhu Bin decided on a plan to come with the United States from the beginning. As long as the gold price is forced to rise, the US dollar must appreciate if it wants to top the gold price, which will make the series of benefits obtained by Roosevelt's new policy disappear! If Americans want to keep the US dollar exchange rate not to appreciate, they will have to face the collapse of the strategy of binding the gold price. The US dollar is equivalent to the loss of the credibility of gold. It will also bring an uncontrollable chain reaction, and world finance will fall back into a melee of multiple countries!
It’s not safe to just pull gold, but Zhu Bin viciously released the monster silver!
If it is other non-silver circulating countries, a large amount of silver will not cause much loss when it hits the market. But the United States is different. It has seven states that produce a large amount of silver. And in the silver acquisition case that has just ended a few years ago, the government forced the total value of silver to hold is equivalent to one-third of the gold reserves!
If the market is filled with silver and the US gold stock is not enough and it is difficult to stabilize the silver price, the seven states will continue to make trouble. The related economy will also be greatly affected! Roosevelt will be even more worried!
Zhu Bin's hands now have silver in tens of thousands of tons! There is no problem with spilling more than one billion taels of taels, which is much more than the overall stock of the United States. Even if it uses a large amount of silver cables to build warships, this time, he has to use it as a super invincible fist and smash it hard at the Americans!
Even though this group of elites has experienced a lot, they can't bear to see that Zhu Bin's goal is too amazing. This is to use his personal strength to confront the powerful United States of America and the top consortiums in the world behind it! Not to mention the result, this courage and ruthlessness alone is admirable! Being able to personally participate in such an unprecedented financial war is enough for them to be proud of their lives!
Stephen's excited cheeks were twisted, his eyes shone with a crazy light, and he tilted his mouth and shouted, "That's great! I've long wanted to fight head-on with the Morgan Consortium. Thank you for the great opportunity for us by the boss! Please rest assured, I will do my best to give them a good look!"
His level is not a big deal. He holds hundreds of millions of funds and hard currency. He has been rampant in the financial market for several years and has no defeat. After the split, Worldcom Group has no restrictions. Now it can be said that a tiger enters the mountains and forests, and the dragon returns to the sea. You can let go of your hands and feet and do a big fight!
Zhu Bin patted his shoulder hard: "Well! I have always believed that our team is the best! Everyone, let's start!"
"I will win!" More than a dozen people waved their fists excitedly and flocked to each other.
Before their actions could be launched, the world's gold market was already in full swing! As soon as the London market opened, the gold price immediately soared, and it was impossible to hold on!
In fact, this is not surprising. As soon as Britain, France and Germany announced the war, even though the fight had not yet begun, the whole world was in a state of tension. As a hard currency, gold is an iconic equivalent to guarantee value in troubled times, and it has no market value. Even the Germans who had thousands of tons of secret gold were constantly purchasing and storage, which means that the miserable Japanese people fought hard with China and continued to put the new gold they dug into the market one after another in exchange for various raw materials and equipment.
The news of the robbery of the Federal Reserve's vault was not confirmed, but the lethality of the gossip is often even more amazing. As soon as the five major shops in the London gold market opened, various purchase orders flocked to it!
Although the purchase qualification is limited, physical transactions are destined to be more chaotic and cannot be easily controlled. Whether it is really short of gold or deliberately making trouble, the gold price was raised a lot as soon as the market opened in the morning, and these traders, without exception, were actually paying in US dollars!
If it were normal, the US dollar might be stronger, but judging from the posture of these people, it seems that if you can stop the loss earlier by selling it earlier, will the US dollar not maintain its value?
Compared with the huge US dollar issuance, the total number of orders at the beginning was not too outrageous. But when the market closed in the morning, a large order with a total of more than 500 million US dollars fell from the sky, knocking the five major gold suppliers out of the blue! This is a purchase of 400 tons of gold!
At this time, the Bank of England also discovered something was wrong with the vault. When they saw that it was full of smelly river water, the bank manager fainted immediately and the gold market was completely in chaos!
Chapter completed!
