As we all know, any large-scale military mobilization and transfer is never something that can be concealed.
Because there are often hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of personnel, equipment, and logistical supplies concentrating in a certain direction, the noise caused by them can be seen and heard by anyone who is not deaf or blind.
Except for people like my loving father who are extremely stubborn, self-willed, and used to being arbitrary, I am afraid that most leaders with normal IQs and rationality will subconsciously do this when they see neighboring countries amassing large numbers of troops on their borders and deploying various war materials.
Be prepared for invasion.
After all, mobilizing so many people and materials will inevitably incur huge costs.
If it weren't for the purpose of obtaining higher profits through war, who would be full and tossing around for no reason.
Is it because you think your financial pressure is not high enough?
In the same way, as the ninth level of Baator Hell officially entered the state of war mobilization, hundreds of millions of devils were gathered into complete legions one after another, and everyone smelled the breath of war.
Especially since there are already many huge cyberpunk cities with forces from various outer planes and material planes, countless spies have long begun to inquire about who they are going to war with.
Especially those demon lords whose brains have been beaten to pieces, every one of them is very worried that Asmodeus and Zuo Si will suddenly join forces to launch a large-scale invasion of the Abyss at this time, and once again occupy and transform several or even
Dozens of levels.
In that case, the weak balance currently maintained by the two sides will be completely broken.
Even the Spider Goddess Rose has stepped up her activities, and many originally low-key dark elves have become extremely active, trying to figure out which battlefield the huge assembled legions are going to.
After all, her kingdom is on the 66th floor of the abyss. Once the devil starts to invade on a large scale, she will definitely bear the brunt.
In addition, the orc god system and the earth spirit system, which had completely broken up with Zuo Si before, could not help but become nervous.
Gruumsh even suspended the long-term war with the old enemy elves and transferred his heavy troops back to his own country.
Cyric, the Prince of Lies, urgently formed an alliance with the Demon Prince Demogorgon.
The entire universe, whether it was gods or other divine powers, held its breath because of Zuo Si's sudden big move.
Not to mention them, even the lords of other dimensions who were also in the hell camp were tensed up.
Although most devils do not think that the prince, who has never been very interested in expanding influence and power, would attack one of his own.
But even if there is only one percent possibility, it is enough to make a guy like Viscount Maman, who was once an enemy of Zuo Si, feel nervous.
At this moment, in the stock exchange in the huge cyberpunk city, countless gamblers and speculators are performing a tragedy and comedy of ice and fire.
the reason is simple!
Such a large-scale military operation will 100% have a huge impact on the financial market.
What's more, the so-called "securities trading" here is not to facilitate resource allocation, it is simply a complete casino.
At any rate, the financial system on earth has greatly helped the development of real industry and technological innovation during the more than three hundred years of the rise of capital.
After all, the start of the financial industry can be traced back to the beginning of the Age of Discovery.
At that time, ocean trading was undoubtedly the most profitable business.
As long as a ship can successfully sail to Africa, which is rich in gold and gems, or Southeast Asia and India, the origins of spices, and East Asia, the famous homeland of silk, tea and porcelain, and return to Europe with these specialties, you can make money immediately
Several times or even ten times the profit.
But along with high returns come unimaginable huge risks.
Whether it is storms, pirates, local chaos and turmoil, or those from other European countries, a ship full of cargo may disappear into thin air.
Even the richest merchants, nobles, and royal families cannot bear such huge losses alone.
Therefore, in order to join this gluttonous feast, many European countries began to think of ways to pool private wealth and build more ships to control routes and important ports to ensure that they had an absolute monopoly in certain regional trades.
This model of raising funds and paying dividends to investors is the beginning of modern finance.
As long as we look at the history of the European Age of Discovery, it is not difficult to see the key role played by finance.
It can even be said that almost every maritime power at that time developed an extremely advanced financial system.
For example, Britain was the first to complete the Industrial Revolution, and the Netherlands, which was able to become a sea coach driver by virtue of its extremely small territory, and France, which had fierce competition with Britain.
In fact, before the end of World War II, finance played a role in serving the real industry.
However, the brutal world wars caused by the old capitalist powers' competition for resources and markets, the widespread rise of proletarian regimes, and increasingly fierce internal class antagonisms have led to the elites beginning to actively pursue deindustrialization, retaining only high-end value-added industries.
.
This is why the social conflicts in developed capitalist countries in Europe and the United States were greatly alleviated after the war.
Even a few decades later, young people will still praise capitalism and think it is the best system in the world.
Little do they know that all this actually stems from "self-castration".
Without a large number of low-end industrial workers, the low-profit manufacturing industry has been transferred to less developed countries, and the originally fierce social opposition will naturally cease to exist.
Moreover, it can also lower the cost of goods through cheap labor, and then use financial means to harvest the wealth that the other party has finally created, so that the people of the country can enjoy a better quality of life without a significant increase in income.
Later, as the concept of neoliberalism was clearly proposed, the modern financial system on earth completely turned away from reality and turned into a numbers game driven by debt.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the securities market in Baator Hell is just the opposite. It was designed from the beginning to be a Shura field full of intrigues and traps.
Its rise and fall are not directly related to earnings and financial reports, but are entirely determined by the intentions of speculators.
Its purpose is not to harvest wealth through capital means, but to harvest the souls of those speculators who participate in this game.
This means that even small relevant news may become a tool for traders behind the scenes to hype and create panic.
Therefore, the stocks and bonds here are undergoing violent fluctuations every day that people on earth cannot even imagine.
Maybe one second it was still rising, and the next second it would fall directly to the bottom and become worthless.
Not to mention such earth-shattering actions as the lord starting to mobilize for war.
By the way, in the stock exchange of the huge cyberpunk city, leverage of more than ten times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times is a common operation.
Because everyone who enters the market has one idea, either to make a fortune or to lose their soul.
It's only with such motivation and environment that good results can come out.
"No!!!!!!! Money! My money!"
"Oh my god! I...I'm actually bankrupt! How can I pay off so many debts?"
"Why? Why is this happening? Obviously everything was as I expected!"
"Damn it! It's all over now!"
"Hahahaha! Sent! Sent! Thank you to the great Prince Soth! From today on, I will be your most loyal believer!"
"Me too! Who would have thought that originally I just wanted to buy some military stocks and wait for them to appreciate in value to make a small fortune, but in the end, my money suddenly doubled thirty times."
"Not only are military industry stocks rising, but the stocks of several mercenary intermediary companies have also taken off. It looks like they will continue to rise for at least several days."
"Let's go, find a place to have a drink?"
"Together! I happen to know a place that provides special services. You can enjoy other services while drinking."
…
Looking at the various figures in the trading floor who had either completely fallen into madness or were laughing like madmen, the financial experts from the Marvel Universe and Earth only felt their scalps numb and their whole bodies soaked with sweat.
You must know that on earth, any sudden stock market crash will be dubbed "Black Friday".
But here, similar situations happen almost every day.
Especially the impact brought by this war mobilization simply exceeded the limit of everyone's imagination.
Similarly, they have gradually begun to have a deeper understanding of this "completely free" financial market that connects countless worlds.
Even some people who originally highly praised financial liberalization began to make a 180-degree turn, believing that an unregulated market will eventually turn into a terrible disaster.
Because it is so "free" that long-term investors have no way to survive. In the end, all that's left are crazy gamblers and speculators who chase bad money for good money.
Several older traders even suffered heart attacks and died on the spot because they could not withstand the steep curve that suddenly climbed and then plummeted.
Thinking of this, the person in charge from the People's Federation took out a napkin and wiped the dense sweat on his head, and asked without looking back: "How about, our asset allocation table should be able to barely maintain a breakeven, right?"
"Judging from the current situation, it should be about the same, and even a small profit. However, Kabor has not submitted the report yet. If he has not lost too much." Another woman in her fifties said with lingering fears.
replied.
After trading started today, all financial derivatives such as stocks and bonds experienced ups and downs like a roller coaster, and so did the mood of all the operators.
After all, once a huge loss occurs, the loss is not just as simple as money, but also related to the life and death of the entire earth.
