Eight Hundred and Forty-Six: Capital and War
Why do some people in Congress say that targeting mercenary lands is thankless?
First of all, the territory of the mercenary land is in the Middle East. American satellite missiles are not that far away and can carry out long-range bombing without the help of any soldiers. This is impossible. Even if it is possible, the missile will fly over the head of China or Russia. After being blasted, they won't allow American missiles to pass overhead, so if they really want to fight, they can only send troops!
Well, even if it sends troops, the United States still has absolutely advanced land equipment to defeat this poor country in the mercenary land. But the key is, even if you win the mercenary land and treat it as a colony as a victorious country, you are still very poor. It is difficult to protect this place. Once a war starts with other countries, your area will be disintegrated first.
Moreover, if you send out troops, you will need manpower and material resources to fight the war, which means that there will be the possibility of wounded soldiers and sacrifices. This will increase the huge capital investment in war funds. When the time comes, if you win, it will be difficult to hold on. This is your fortress for future wars. To put it bluntly, the mercenary land is not an ideal military base that restrains Asia, so why is it called thankless?
Putting this aside, there is only one reason left for the United States to insist on attacking the land of mercenaries.
crude!
That's right, the only crude oil resource that can be snatched at the moment seems to be the land of mercenaries.
There is no way to rob the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, so we can only focus on the mercenary land that has been in chaos.
And everyone knows clearly that the Rockeffield family in the United States started from oil. They monopolized 70% of the oil in the United States and created the Mobil Oil Group, the world's second largest market capitalization, worth more than 500 billion U.S. dollars! So it is not difficult to see their shadow behind this war.
This is the Mobil Rockefey family's conspiracy to expand by annexing more crude oil.
Their goal is to move from monopolizing the United States to monopolizing the world.
Allowing the United States to obtain crude oil resources is a situation that other major countries do not want to see.
Therefore, if the United States wants to transport missiles to the Japanese country, it is completely feasible for the Japanese country to launch missiles from the Japanese country with enough range to the mercenary land. However, the two major obstacles in the middle, China and Russia, will not allow you to launch smoothly. They will It is not difficult to intercept from it or use the anti-missile system to intercept and deflect the missile's trajectory.
This is something the United States is not sure about, so it has no choice but to send troops.
In fact, as the White House said, they have another way, which is to land directly from the Indian Ocean to the mercenary land! With aircraft carriers, landing in the mercenary land is a piece of cake.
However, there are always some powerful countries that are unwilling to let the United States do what it wants. If you swim from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, the problem lies in the Pacific Ocean. So why does the United States always want to contain Asia? In fact, this continent is stuck between the tropical and subtropical regions of the earth. In the area of Kudao, your various military strategies really cannot avoid this continent!
If your aircraft carrier wants to make such a big circle to scare people, you can!
However, the armed forces must be reduced sharply, otherwise it will be judged according to the laws of the sea. You are provoking many countries in the two oceans, and you will be punished.
Therefore, if the United States really wants to launch a full-scale war against the mercenary land, it must send troops to take it down one by one.
This means that it is a waste of time, energy, manpower and materials, and it is a war that consumes capital.
In this way, other countries will be happy to see that they also have a way to target you, which is to sell arms to the mercenary land. On the one hand, they can make money, and on the other hand, they can exploit the financial resources of their old opponents. Why not?
The United States guessed from the beginning that other countries would support the Mercenary Land in this way to hinder them. However, what they did not expect was that the financial resources of the Mercenary Land to purchase arms were exposed!
The first arms purchase amount is 50 billion US dollars!
After the President of the United States saw this report in his office, he sat up directly.
"This is impossible! Where did they get so much money? Even if they have crude oil, they don't have the most advanced refining technology and can't sell much crude oil. It's only been less than half a year since the founding of the country. It's impossible for them to have 50 billion US dollars in the treasury! They Don’t we need construction for development? Let me investigate whether they used land or oil mines to mortgage the arms they bought.”
Secretary: "No, they all use funds, not credit."
This is a bit embarrassing.
This war in the United States is indeed sponsored by the Rockefey family, but although the Mobil Group is worth more than 500 billion, it is impossible to give you 50 billion to fight the problem. At most, the first payment will be 10 billion to test the waters. . If you want 50 billion for a fight, even a big family can’t stand it. Even though Citibank, owned by the Morgan family, has more than 3 trillion US dollars in reserves, it is citizens' money and they don't dare to give you tens of billions of loopholes to squander.
If every war costs so much, then you will die at a loss, so how can you make a fortune from war?
For example, the entire national assessment of crude oil minerals in Mercenary Land is worth more than 200 billion U.S. dollars. This will still take decades to operate and sell. If you really go for other people's crude oil, you have invested 50 billion in this war just after it started. You are a fool. will invest.
Then here comes the problem.
Where does the mercenary land get its money?
The answer lies in the stranger.
Yi Ke has no money, but Xu Cheng has money!
The Abu Dhabi incident caused a global oil supply shortage and oil prices rose. At this time, while Haber, his father and others were working together to rectify the crude oil and other resource projects in the entire Abu Dhabi country, Haber quickly took action and bought Mobil Group for 70 billion. All individual stocks were shorted and sold worth hundreds of billions!
In and out like this, the net profit was 30 billion US dollars!
In addition, Harper himself sold off all the 20 billion stockpiled by his family and Abu Dhabi crude oil.
30 billion to close the deal.
90 billion investment, 40 billion terrifying profits!
At the same time, Harper was also disgusted with Mobil. After he shorted 70 billion of individual stocks, it directly affected the stock market panic. Mobil's stock suddenly fell. Whenever something happens to the Mobil Group, Harper The rectification of the Abu Dhabi crude oil project was very fast, giving Mobil almost no chance to dilute its shares and make a wave of money. They announced to the public that the Abu Dhabi crude oil reserves were restored.
Just such a piece of news, Mobil stock fell again!
Because Abu Dhabi has resumed supply from the world's second-largest crude oil country, it means that oil prices will fall. As a result, Mobil's stock has been hurt.
This makes the Rockfield family feel like they have been fed dead flies.
In this incident, the 50 billion invested by Yike turned into 75 billion US dollars! Then Xucheng itself is worth more than 30 billion in working capital.
So this time he can sponsor the mercenary land with 100 billion US dollars to go head-on with the United States!
