Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1852: System Collapse

Fidel has recently faced a very serious problem. The ex-CIA employee who is now a top RAND analyst is in big trouble - he wrote an opinion piece on the rabbit economy, very fair and just, but...  

Fidel admitted that his previous article was written with ideological contempt, and as a result, many things were seriously wrong in forecasting. For example, the rabbit actually intervened in Banana Country, and went out of the base to break the blockade of the first island chain. No one expected this.

Well, after learning from the pain, Fidel woke up this time. He carefully observed all aspects of the rabbit society, and came to the judgment that the rabbit economy will develop on the positive side - the expansion of domestic demand and the surge in imports will drive the world economy out of the abyss of crisis.

Fidel thought to himself: This time I won't scold, and I won't come up with bad ideas. I call on everyone to come to Rabbit to make a fortune, this should be okay.

But people are not as good as God!

As the world's largest oil importer, Rabbit has not only significantly reduced oil imports, but also announced that it will export oil next year. What the rabbit said sounds nice—we have discovered a super-large oil field, and shale gas technology has made a revolutionary breakthrough. Human energy will usher in a bright and beautiful future.

Hey, Rabbit, you got the wrong script.

bright? good? Does not exist!

As soon as the news of the rabbit came out, the stock price of 'Aramco Oil', which had just been listed on the market for a long time, immediately plummeted - cut in half. The blue-chip stocks that countless investors rushed to be optimistic about and bought one after another are now turning into junk stocks.

Countless financial institutions either cut their flesh and fled, or were deeply locked up.

This is not a question of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, but a question of thousands or trillions of dollars.

It was a natural disaster.

You must know that since the "Arabian Winter", the life of the big dog has not been easy in recent years. In order to raise money to continue their lives, other crown princes have started to learn "Gong Dou" - arrest a vote of wealthy princes in the country and collect protection fees, and don't even think about leaving if they don't pay.

People finally thought about reforming, and the rabbit hit the stick head-on. The calculation of the Great Elder Rabbit is very simple - the petrodollar system of the eagle sauce must be punctured for it, and it cannot be allowed to continue its life with this thing. We want to implement the oil soft currency system, and we also want to sell oil.

In the future, the pricing power of this thing will be determined by the rabbit.

Because oil is the blood of the industrial system and the lifeblood of many countries' economic systems. Not to mention cutting oil prices in half, even cutting one or two dollars would be a huge disaster-this will lead to a decline in trade volume, a sharp drop in capital flow, and people who play finance will have a hard time.

Due to the peculiarities of oil, this deflation can spread to the entire industrial system. At present, most countries in the world are only a certain link in the industrial system. If there is a problem in the source link, all subsequent links will be unlucky-the economy will be sluggish like an infectious disease.

To put it bluntly, the economic crisis will explode violently.

Only one situation can reduce the harm of this terrible crisis, and that is huge domestic demand and a complete industrial system-money is the economic lubricant. As long as the flow of funds is smooth, the government guarantees, and the bank does not collect debts, it doesn't matter if you earn less, and you may be able to earn more.

Now you know why the rabbit does such a ghostly thing? If there is domestic demand, if there is a system, if there is a system, the whole world will not be afraid of this trick. When the whole world is living a tight life, only it can live happily behind closed doors.

And Fidel's unlucky luck was in the article he published touting the rabbit economy. He believed that the import and export of rabbits would continue to increase, and as a result, many financial institutions accepted his arguments for futures speculation.

In fact, Fidel's judgment is completely correct, but when the "weekly half price" jumps out and slashes, all oil futures in the world will immediately collapse.

No one was impacted by the brutality of this 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'. Many financial funds have lost all their money, and playing free fall on the rooftop has become a very fashionable thing in the financial industry.

When Fidel read various economic reports in New York recently, it was like a huge plunge. As a financial center, Manhattan is performing performance art every day.

The New York Police Department had to send people to guard the rooftops of all skyscrapers in Manhattan to prevent people from jumping down again-otherwise it would be too late to collect the bodies, and the hospital morgues were full.

Fidel himself has nothing to lose, he is still doing research in Rabbit's magic capital. In the current situation, he does not intend to return to China for the time being. Because in the past few days, countless people who have failed to invest have called him, either wanting to have some kind of super-friendship with him, or wanting the lives of his whole family.

And Fidel's friend, Chuck, who is an intelligence and contraband broker, has a much better life. Because he has recently received several inquiries and large smuggling orders-in the past, the rabbit asked him how to get good things from Europe and the United States, and now many companies in Europe and the United States asked him how to buy things for the rabbit.

"Fidel, do you know who I'm having dinner with today?" Chuck shouted enthusiastically when he saw his friend.

Fidel was in a daze on the sofa in the living room of his residence, shaking his head listlessly and said, "I don't have time to care who you have dinner with."

Chuck happily stood opposite Fidel, leaned on the recliner with his legs crossed and smiled and said, "Do you know the Hans family's 'Deutz' company?"

Fidel raised his head slightly, "'Deutz'..., 'Deutz' that produces diesel engines, right? Europe's quasi-first-class level, technically not top-notch. What's wrong with this company?"

Chuck approached Fidel with a mysterious probe, and said with a low laugh: "They want to trade some sensitive technologies with the Rabbit government, but they are unwilling to do so publicly. They hope to do it through me. And I have seen the technology catalog they provided. , and behind it are the shadows of several companies in Finland and Sweden.”

Several small countries in Northern Europe have world-class technology in machinery. They are small and have a small population, and they only need to sell some high-end goods to live very comfortably. But now that even these small countries are feeling the harshness of the economic winter, it can only show that the traditional western market has shrunk.

Now that electric vehicle technology is developing rapidly, traditional diesel engine technology is likely to be eliminated. Maybe those small Nordic countries want to sell some high-power military diesel engine and gearbox technology at a good price now.

The first-class military diesel engine in Northern Europe can be half smaller than the second- and third-rate products under the same power. This is a great advantage for tanks, the main battle equipment where space is always tight.

"So what's the rabbit's reaction?" Fidel asked.

"The Rabbit Army doesn't seem to be too eager for technology, but they are very keen on the technical personnel and scientific research systems accumulated by Nordic companies for many years. They are more inclined to recruit people on a large scale." Chuck laughed.

Talent is more useful than pure technology, otherwise technology alone is dead technology.

Regarding the ambitions of the Rabbit Army, Fidel pouted and commented: "Those companies in Northern Europe are definitely not willing to hand over their technical backbone."

But Chuck lowered his voice and laughed again: "You are wrong. As long as you have money, you can do anything. It's just that you have more money and less money. I'm going to make a fortune this time, and the commission will be extremely generous."

Fiddle immediately rolled his eyes—the rabbit's tossing this time has left the landlord's house with no food left. If you are a human being, you have to bend your waist for three buckets of rice!

It seems that the world system established by Eagle Sauce after World War II cannot last long.
