"Zhu Bin?"

Roosevelt didn't react at first, but then he suddenly came to his senses at the reminder of his staff and consultant, almost jumped up from the wheelchair, and suddenly realized: "Yes! Why did I forget this guy?!"

Not only did he forget it, he never thought that this series of accidents would have anything to do with Zhu Bin!

Speaking of which, the President did not take Zhu Bin and the Chinese seriously. In his opinion, Zhu Bin was a prodigal son who didn't know how to be rich and had some ancestral property to squander. He relied on his little cleverness or accumulation of family background to have a place in the chaotic land of China. As for the cooperative relationship established with major American consortiums and companies, it was just a financial exchange, and everyone got what they needed.

As the nominal leader of China, Chiang Kai-shek was also regarded by Roosevelt as a fool who was insatiable and knew how to ask for support but did nothing. In that case, this kind of ambitious person could be brought to power in the United States. In the United States, hehe, his personal ethics alone are enough to drink a pot!

Think about it, in order to gain support from the United States and Western society, a Confucian child actually believed in Christianity against his will. What is this style? Can religious beliefs be changed randomly? A country leader actually does this, which is simply indecent!

China's chaos will sooner or later make a war of killing and wounding millions of people, and finally decide that the real winner will unify the world. This has been proven by history. Once in hundreds of years, it is not new at all.

It is obvious that the two people who were labeled such a label by Roosevelt would naturally not be placed on the list of suspicions by him. It is still that the Rockefeller family is hidden and has been paying close attention to and staring at the changes in the world. With their own intelligence system, they have found some clues and reminded him of their position as an American consortium.

Roosevelt suddenly remembered that if this series of actions were planned and implemented by Zhu Bin, it would be very reasonable!

Think about it, there are only a handful of people in the world who are capable of doing such things. The Martians in science fiction movies have never appeared. Mad scientists such as Tesla are working under his hands. The mysterious "City of Light" brings endless shock to everyone who has been there. However, the other party is strictly guarding and cannot bring out any real things at all. Moreover, those who are qualified to go are often scientists with problems with their brains... The information they provide can easily cause confusion in thinking.

Well. Aside from those reasons, Zhu Bin is really capable of planning and carrying out such an action. Even if it is not the gold he robs, he must be among the people who are making trouble in the London financial market! Moreover, the effort is quite strong. Otherwise, who else in the world can hold so many dollars in his hand besides Germany?

Sino-US trade has doubled continuously for six consecutive years. Until now, the import and export trade between each other is 1 billion, especially the large-scale nearby amount centered on Shanghai in recent years, which is 10 billion, which are all based on US dollars as the main settlement unit! In Shanghai alone, Citibank and GD banks, there are billions of dollars!

Not to mention, the GD Bank, which is equivalent to the Central Bank of China, already provides transaction agency services for countless domestic enterprises to import and export. In terms of the total number of imports and exports, China has even ranked among the top five in the world in just a few years, second only to Britain, the United States and Germany!

Then he broke the market. It was no wonder that he started to attack the US dollar by gold. Who told the American consortium that had a good cooperation a few days ago to sell him out without hesitation? If it were Roosevelt himself, he would never swallow his anger!

However, Roosevelt never likes to compromise with others in his life. In order to save the US economy, he even forced his backstage supporter Morgan without hesitation. It can be said that the great power of the United States to respond quickly after the Great Depression came from his efforts to force consortiums to take out money from their pockets.

Just imagine with his personality, how could he bend down to communicate with Zhu Bin on his own initiative? Dreaming!

Roosevelt immediately ordered his staff to quickly formulate a means of using Zhu Bin as an imaginary enemy to focus on the financial crisis and the possible economic attacks that may continue to occur. He then directly ordered the Federal Reserve: "I don't care what method you use, we must stabilize the exchange rate of the US dollar. We will not appreciate or depreciate! Just stay there and never go anywhere!"

In order to save the US economy after the Great Depression, the Roosevelt administration took the initiative to depreciate the US dollar by 40%, stimulating exports and production starts, which brought great improvements, but things always have to be done in moderation. The international trade pattern in recent days is very unstable, and the US start-up rate has also been restored, but the imported things are technical products that have not changed much when they depreciate. This has made no benefit in addition to raising domestic prices and causing consumption tightening.

Appreciation? Not to mention that, there is a bit of a trade deficit, how can you get through the appreciation? For the sake of the current plan, the price comparison between the US dollar and gold is stabilized!

The staff felt very embarrassed about this. There were some shadows of a consortium behind them supporting them, and they knew the truth about the Federal Reserve's robbery. Therefore, they felt that the President's request could not be implemented, and they made a very tactful statement: "If you want to achieve the goal, you must provide enough gold and US dollar repurchase capabilities, otherwise it may fail!"

Gold... Roosevelt's mind hurts. Yes, gold! The other party understood that gold in Britain and the United States was stolen, and the amount of circulating on the market was gone with just a slash. There was no selling order, and the gold price would be easily raised by them.

If they want to smash it, they either have no selling orders to make them helpless, but the other party must know that they just need to move around the gold in their hands on the market, which will create the illusion of trading and the price will naturally rise.

Or you have to pay real money to fill the holes, and you can buy as much as you buy, and you will spend all your money. You will spend your dollar reserves and then fall back to your ideal position, showing the firmness and strength of the dollar. Logically, this is the best way, even for the reputation and credit of the United States, you have to do it.

But the problem is that a lot of gold is needed! Conservatively estimated, at least a few thousand tons of gold must be prepared to support the wave-making people and the mixed-in-one Germans to fight together!

When Roosevelt thought about the fact that there was silver involved, he was even more annoyed! The other party obviously looked at the weakness of the United States. The silver trend that had just calmed down immediately set off a bigger wave. The cruelty of the attack was outrageous! Forty thousand tons of silver were thrown out in a day. What do they want to do!

Frowning hard, Roosevelt ordered: "Tell the Fed's shareholders that this is related to the overall interests of the United States. If we fail, they will suffer the greatest losses! So, no matter what solution you think, you must win this battle!"

The implication is that I will fight for you, and you have to take out gold and dollars to save the market!

This is the other party's viciousness. With the US monetary policy, the US dollar is paper money. As long as it is needed, the Federal Reserve can print a lot without worrying about the substantial depreciation of the assembly. As long as the United States goes on a whole day, the other party sees this point, so it is necessary to force the US dollar to return and rob gold at the same time to force out this secret of the United States to create greater chaos! Once it succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The staff are still in a dilemma. What are the attitudes of the Fed shareholders? They know too well! Rockefeller proposed to ask Roosevelt to talk to Zhu Bin, which is the gentlest. Morgan simply proposed: "Either the United States will send troops to deal with the damn yellow-skinned monkey, and at least it must support Japan in dealing with him through war!"

Pay money? Bankers can do things without profit, but they won't do anything they beat to death! The United States still has gold reserves, but only half of the lost ones, let alone whether they can recover them. The remaining 4,000 tons are enough to support it, right? Anyway, it doesn't rely on that thing to issue currency, more or less is temporary. They are not British people.

In essence, bankers are war dealers, and consortiums are profitable and developed from war. What they are happy to see is a world of constant wars and are not actually interested in the isolationist practice of the United States. But the problem is that on the surface, more than 70% of the people in the United States are unwilling to get involved in the war. Life is a little better, so they would rather close the door and watch the fun.

There is another big problem! Although the United States will not implement the gold standard, it requires the total amount of currency issued by the Federal Reserve. Forty percent of the gold in physical gold must be used as the benchmark. After Roosevelt took office, he increased the price of gold per ounce from more than $20 to 35, which forced gold to appreciate and brought convenience to the US dollar to issue additional issuance. When the United States has more than 8,000 tons of gold reserves, the total number can already support the operation of the entire country. This is also an alternative gold standard.

Now, the entire stability ratio is about to be broken in just a few years. If it gets out of control, the United States will not know what it will become!

Roosevelt was upset. Didn’t these problems be created by you greedy bankers? If you do business with Zhu Bin well, you won’t be a virtue! Now that you are being counterattacked by the other party, you are going to come to the government to solve the problem? It’s simply outrageous!

Things have to be done. He didn't talk to Zhu Bin, but he asked someone to pass the message to Jiang Jiang through Kong Xiangxi. The United States can increase its support for him, but the condition is that he must try to restrain or even resist Zhu Bin on the spot and not let this guy cause trouble for the whole world!

At the same time, Morgan's proposal also obtained his default. It is difficult to directly send troops to attack Zhu Bin, which is difficult to pass the parliament, but simply increasing loans to Japan and exports of certain weapons is something that many consortiums are happy to see. It can not only drive the US economy, but also indirectly intervene in robbing the interests that Japan has already robbed. Now, the three affiliated northeastern provinces and the continuous oil-sparking Sakhalin Island are becoming the targets of greed among the American consortiums! There are not many fat and oily places waiting for people to share!

Then, the unofficial commander of the South Pacific Fleet came forward and threatened and protested against the Chinese Navy led by Zhu Bin, at least cut off its shipping route and blocked Zhu Bin's operation space from the sea.

This series of actions basically does not require approval from Congress, and a considerable number of lawmakers are also angry that Zhu Bin may be the murderer behind the scenes and clearly supports Roosevelt's sanctions.

The British joined this action without any consideration and made it clear that the Malacca Strait and the Suez Canal passage would be cut off, and that Chinese ships would not be allowed to pass by Zhu Bin's freighter.

In this way, it is equivalent to starting to siege Zhu Bin from the national level, which is simply an upgraded version of the dismemberment of the WorldCom Group action! It comes quickly enough! It is cruel enough! It is direct enough!

The gold mobilized from the United States was suddenly launched! With the tough Churchill's repeated insistence, the British government also joined the battle and provided 1,000 tons of gold reserves to participate in the battle. The next day, as soon as the London Gold Exchange opened, all gold buying orders were blocked, and paper transactions were completed together with more than 1,300 tons of gold yesterday!

"One thousand three hundred tons! Tsk tsk! I didn't expect that the foreigners are really rich!"

Looking at the report of the closing market in the morning, Zhu Bin couldn't help but exclaim. These guys reacted so quickly. Before he could make a move, he blocked the hole first. It was indeed an old imperialist and a veteran in finance!

Serena was fussed with him: "Western powers began to rob the world from the fifteenth century, and until now. In the past four hundred years, it has almost covered most of the 100,000 tons of gold accumulated by humans over tens of thousands of years! Even if one-third of these are missing and one-third are held by the people, then one-third is in their national reserves, and one-third is still 30,000 tonnes in their national reserves! You only rob 1,200 tons, which is at most abrupt, but it is far from enough to knock them down!"

"So many?" Zhu Bin glared. This number is a bit scammed! Based on the current price comparison, a ton of gold is about 1.25 million US dollars. Ten thousand tons is 12.5 billion! He doesn't have that much US dollar foreign exchange in his hands now!

But at least there are billions to mobilize. Unless the foreigners shamelessly stop trading, there is no problem in purchasing thousands of tons and forcing the gold price to soar! The key is that Zhu Bin has greater ambitions. He wants to control the price of gold, indirectly control the currency exchange rate, and become the world's financial overlord in one fell swoop!

Serena rolled her eyes beautifully at this: "Don't dream! It took the British two hundred years to establish the hegemony of the pound. The Americans relied on decades before and after the Civil War and the First World War to seize half of the country. With your current strength, you want to seize power? Unless you win them on the battlefield first!"

Zhu Bin scratched his scalp in annoyance: "If the spaceship is fine, we will run directly to the edge of the solar system and drag an asteroid back, dig out the gold core inside, and instantly collapse the price of gold in the world!"

In the interstellar era, gold is no longer valuable, and it is not even valuable metal. If you are happy, it is no problem to build a spacecraft with gold. It is extremely difficult to refine gold on the earth, but the cores of asteroids that have existed for billions of years in space have long gathered a large number of heavy metal cores. Which one has hundreds of millions of tons to go up?

Serena knocked on the table: "Faced with it! They have joined forces to encircle the world, what should we do?"

Zhu Bin sneered: "Simple! They are playing global divorce with me. If we cut off our shipping, then we should stop transporting us! Help them and block several canals and straits directly. I see who can't stand it!"

With Serena's powerful computing power core of biochemical intelligence, she was shocked by Zhu Bin's response strategy like a broken can! Good guy, just slap and glar, no one should be better, it's cruel enough!

In the world's current shipping, there are several most critical transportation thrones, the longest and largest Strait of Malacca, which connects the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Panama Canal, which shortens the American route by 10,000 kilometers!

These three major throat ducts bear most of the world's ocean shipping hub functions. It can be said that ocean shipping in the whole world is inseparable from the convenience of these three places.

Nowadays, Britain controls Suez and Malacca, and the United States controls Panama. The two giants become the world's leading powers is not a lucky chance, but this is a testimony of strength! Zhu Bin's accumulation of just eight years is obviously not enough to challenge them, but it doesn't matter. He can't beat you, I will torture you to death!

Serena couldn't help but wonder, if the British and Americans knew that Zhu Bin would react like this, I wonder if he would go crazy?

Just a few hours later, a team of 10,000-ton freighters returning from Germany were intercepted in the Panama Canal. These were more than 20 standard Panama-type cargo ships, with a maximum full load displacement of 50,000 tons, and a 32-meter slender hull that could barely pass slowly by the edge of the 33.53-meter gate chamber.

When the order arrived, two ships had entered the gate chamber at one end of the Caribbean Sea. The Governor of the Canal commanded his men impatiently: "Let all the damn Chinese ships go aside! Don't let them pass for the time being! Ah, what are the bastards in the government doing? Don't they know that it is difficult to distinguish the ships that are scattered with nationality?"

That is, they have been stationed here all year round and have already figured out the situation of the ships coming and going. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find Chinese nationality from thousands of giant ships! Besides, there are no Chinese nationality ships these days?

Ignoring the protests of the fleet, the Governor returned to his villa lazily to enjoy afternoon tea. Unexpectedly, before he arrived at the place, someone caught up with him panting and told him in a panting manner: "General! The big thing is wrong! The Chinese freighter that had entered the lock suddenly exploded and caught fire!"

"What?! What happened?!"

The Governor (also also an American general) was frustrated on the spot! What the hell is going on?! He has seen with his own eyes that those damn Chinese ships are huge in size and can fill the locks. Once there is something wrong, it will take a lot of trouble to get it out!

But this is not the first time that this happened. He waved helplessly: "Ah! Damn stupid guy! Hurry up and ask someone to drag it out, don't delay the normal operation!"

Before the subordinate could run away, the second bad news followed one after another at the lock, and there was a problem. Another freighter suddenly sank and was stuck in the tunnel. Now, a fire was burning. It seemed that it was an oil tanker...
Chapter completed!
