Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"Second Lieutenant Black, look, there is a military residential area over there. Generally, officers of captains and above, as well as the family members of sergeant majors, usually live here. It is the third district, and there are four other military districts of the same size."

"It's a recuperation center. It's a recuperation center, but it feels like a resort. It's managed by the Leisure Planning Command. Of course, it's in name, but in fact it's managed by our Yongsan base."

"There is an officer's restaurant over there, and the seafood meal is good. The one over there, although it is a soldier's restaurant, but their ham stewed rice cake tastes very good. It is a Korean specialty. Many people like to go there occasionally to try it."

"There is also the Currier Indoor Gymnasium. It has just been built a few years ago. The facilities in this gymnasium are quite complete! During the day, many companies' physical training will be arranged here, but it is convenient at night! You have When you are free, you can go there to keep fit, or play ball or something.”

Sitting in the car of the base, crossing Itaewon Road and entering the South Camp of Yongsan Base, Carter instantly felt as if he had come to another world.Compared with the northern area where the headquarters building is located, the southern area of ​​Longshan base is obviously more lively!

In addition to the messy facilities such as gymnasiums, resorts, restaurants, canteens, etc., there are even dental clinics, swimming pools, hotels, and a school!

Although Carter knew long ago that Longshan Base directly manages three military schools that are theoretically managed by the Ministry of National Defense, Carter, who has never had a chance to set foot in the Southern District, is the first time he has seen the real thing!
At the gate of that elementary school, I watched the children who were leaving school, and the parents in casual clothes who picked up the children at the gate.
The entire southern area of ​​Longshan Base, if not for the high proportion of people wearing military uniforms, it would not look like a camp, but more like an oversized community.
After the report, Carter didn't start to think about anything, but just followed the old people in the department, getting familiar with the daily work.Well, it's very complicated!Also very trivial!

What kind of shops are complained about illegally occupying public areas; what kind of parking spaces are registered; what kind of shops do not do a good job in sanitation work, and they are complained and asked to cancel their operating qualifications in the camp area.
If it weren't for the conflicts between residents and business tenants that people from the housing management department did not need to mediate, Carter almost thought that what he was doing was actually a property management job!
"Don't always want to make big news. In theory, the construction of barracks in various bases in the surrounding area should be in our hands, but generally they are either here to ask for money or people. Don't worry about the specific approval work. We don't have that. Power! You, just live a down-to-earth life. You can’t do anything else here, but life is nourishing. Okay, let’s stop talking, I’ll pick up the kids!”

While Carter was dumbfounded, a middle-aged captain rushed out of the office, and the time was only three o'clock in the afternoon? !

Shaking his head speechlessly, Carter had no intention of leaving get off work early.I'm alone at home, and I can't go out at will to have fun, so I might as well sit in the office for a while and do something of my own!

For example, continue to look at the exchange rate issue between the United States and Japan
What I was worried about before, the Bank of Japan greatly increased the money supply of the yen, and now they have done it.So, what do those international capitals use to guarantee their own returns?
Five days have passed since the day I set off to today!

It is enough to watch the movement without the rest day!
It's not unbelievable, it's shocking to see.In this confrontation, the international capital's style of play can be described as quite rough: Didn't you Japan throw out the yen?As long as you dare to throw it away, I dare to buy it!

After waving the dollar to buy the yen, turn around and deposit the yen currency directly.Yen that cannot enter the market circulation, no matter how much you come out, it is meaningless
Because the yen in circulation in the market is still scarce. On the contrary, there are more and more dollars!

Along with the fluctuation of the exchange rate, Japan's financial market reform is carried out simultaneously.The foreign investment management law has become less restrictive and Takeshita's hair is thinning.
Everyone understands a problem. Those yen that have been taken away by international capital are not put into the Japanese market now.It seems that I can increase the supply of yen, so that they have no money to collect, but that will inevitably lead to a certain day in the future, when international capital finds that Japan is playing tricks.
When they print the yen recklessly, the panic will make them throw out all the yen stocks in their hands. Coupled with the opening of the Japanese financial market, by then, there will be a wave of super intense imported inflation!

The United States, which was almost crippled by ten years of inflation, is just around the corner.At this time, who dares to challenge the power of inflation? !

At least, Japan dare not!
After a period of strong resistance, Japan gradually reduced the supply of yen currency.And this also means the overall fall of the yen exchange rate.
On May 5, the US-Japan exchange rate officially broke through 12:160
On May 5, U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker made a public speech, stating that "the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the yen has been fully adjusted and will not continue to depress the U.S. dollar."

The appreciation momentum of the yen currency has slowed down.
the emergence of this scene
It made Carter more and more sure that there was a driving force behind this!Even this pusher has surfaced: James Baker!

It seems that only the Minister of Finance, who is backed by the United States, has the status and credibility to mobilize the financial power of all countries to jointly attack Japan.Only he can give confidence to so many financial institutions so that they no longer worry about risks
Just like now, he publicly stated that he would not let the dollar continue to depreciate, and the financial institutions of all countries stopped.Because they all understand that if the United States is not behind this, it is really possible for them to break their teeth
And Finance Minister Baker's battle of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain also made Carter feel for the first time what a fucking boss is!What are real thighs!
Compared with the old treasury secretary who was arguing with Nancy Reagan that day at the White House, Baker, the new treasury secretary, is obviously more domineering!
It's just that after arranging for the relatives in my hometown in Texas, I hurriedly brought things to the pier in Houston to build relationships.Carter was also wondering, what exactly does Baker want to do? !
Playing such a big game of chess, if it is for profit
So in the situation shown on May 5, Japan is obviously in a state of loss.At that time, if the financial institutions of various countries continue to attack, it is very possible to break through 12 and 150!
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Japan can no longer mobilize a large amount of yen currency, and they dare not issue more currency.
Financial wars are sometimes very simple. In the final analysis, it is about who has more money!

The United States relies on the US dollar as the leader of the international settlement currency, and he is not worried about the problem of too many US dollars.If you throw the dollars that the United States can't digest into the world, someone will always want them!

But Japan is different. Once there are too many yen currencies, there will be fewer people outside who need yen.At that time, a large amount of yen will only be piled up at home, and then destroy the entire Japanese consumer price system, causing serious inflation
So, in this situation where Japan has run out of ammunition and food, Baker suddenly stopped, why?
Carter didn't think he would be a nice guy.
There are basically no good lawyers in the United States.
Even in the words of a certain teacher Zhang San, it is easy to lose humanity when studying the Fa.
Such a "wolf-hearted and dog-lung" person suddenly turned around and stopped, there must be a reason for it!
