Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 352 [Fan ] Dimensional strike, the whole Nanyang is in chaos

Stanley Barracks on Hong Kong Island, which originally belonged to the Eagle Country garrison, was sold to Luk Yiu-wen by the British Hong Kong government for HK$700 million.

Luk Yiu-wen announced that he would transform this place into the largest nursing home on Hong Kong Island, and then blocked off the entire Stanley Corner. Since then, no one knew what was going on inside the Stanley military camp.

It’s just that nearby residents often see large transport planes landing in this military camp.

One night in late January, five large military transport planes landed one after another on the military runway of this military camp, carrying an entire Russian brigade.

Their equipment was transported to Hong Kong Island over the past half month.

"Andre, you made me wait so long."

After receiving the news, Lu Yaowen, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time, walked up to his cheap brother-in-law Andre and said with a smile.

"Awen, we actually received a layoff notice five days ago. We just wanted to let our men understand how difficult life is right now, so we specifically let them go home for a few days to let them know what they should do as the backbone of their families."

Boris, Krafke and other ambitious people who wanted to split the Russian Bear were veritable insects. In just one month, they "squandered" more than half of the achievements made by the Russian Bear Country over the past 70 years.

The Russians who used to be able to queue up to buy bread no longer have to queue up in sub-zero temperatures in the cold winter, because all the bread is on the black market, and if they want to have enough to eat, they have to pay a high price to buy it.

You said you have no money?
These ambitious people don't care about the lives of the poor, all they want is to have enough food to eat.

For Lu Yaowen, this was not a bad thing. In just a few days, he made Ermao and other laid-off soldiers realize that if they wanted their families to have enough food and clothing, they had to work hard.

"I promise to pay soldiers five hundred dollars a month, and officers two hundred dollars a month for every rank they advance."

Andre continued.

"..."

After hearing Andre's words, Lu Yaowen's eyes were slightly stunned. My goodness, it was really unfair for Galitsky and Andre, the father and son, to live in the Bear Country. They were more capitalist than the capitalists.

Soldiers risked their lives for five hundred dollars a month, and he wanted to ask Galitsky if there was any Yuta blood mixed in his Cossack blood.

However, Lu Yaowen had no plans to raise the salaries of these Russian soldiers for the time being. Raising their salaries before they had done anything would only make these Russians regard him, Lu Yaowen, as a sucker. After these Russians had done something and made contributions, he would increase their monthly salary by $100, which would make them grateful to him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yaowen realized that he had to keep the Chinese soldiers in Jinshan Cape at a proper distance from these Maozi soldiers. After all, the monthly salary he gave to the Chinese soldiers was tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars...

"Awen, is my salary too high?"

Seeing that Lu Yaowen remained silent for a long time, Andre felt a little nervous.

With the collapse of the Bear State, the ruble has depreciated sharply. Now in the Ermao region, even for citizens in Kiev, the average monthly salary is only about 200 US dollars. In fact, a salary of 400 US dollars is enough to get these soldiers to work.

However, this brigade can be regarded as Andre's base, so he slightly increased the price.

"No, Andre, the salary you offer is just right. I am very satisfied. I will pay the first month's salary on the first of next month."

After hearing Andre's words, Lu Yaowen immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"That's good."

Andre breathed a sigh of relief, and then a hint of joy surged in his heart. It was already the end of the month, and February 1st was just a few days away. As long as he saw the money, the morale of his men would be stabilized.

"Andre, you will have to work hard for a while."

Lu Yaowen patted Andre's shoulder, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Awen, we are all family."

Andre replied immediately.

Andre was very polite to his brother-in-law, not only because Lu Yaowen was the biggest financial backer of his family, but also because with just one word from Lu Yaowen, his father-in-law became the vice prime minister in charge of industry.

Moreover, Lu Yaowen also suggested to his father that he, the second son, should inherit the family's power in the military. Now, Andre is thinking about establishing a closer relationship with Lu Yaowen so as to improve his status in the family.

"You will rest in this military camp for a while and wait for my notice. Remember, from now on, you are a mercenary army and are not affiliated with anyone or any force."

Lu Yaowen warned.

"clear."

Andre instantly understood what Lu Yaowen meant and nodded in response.

After explaining these things to Andre, Lu Yaowen took his men away.

On the way back to Central, Lu Yaowen took out the satellite phone and dialed Sima Nianzu's number.

"Azu, you can make a tentative attack on the Siamese currency, and hint to those Wall Street capitals where you will make your move next."

After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

Just like attacking the British pound, Lu Yaowen still needs to rely on the power of Wall Street to short the Thai baht.

After all, wouldn't it be a waste to have such a powerful fighter and not use him?
What's more, the Siamese government dared to overturn Lu Yaowen's desk, but it did not dare to overturn Wall Street or America's desk.

"Okay, Brother Wen!"

Sima Nianzu's voice came from the receiver.

After more than half a year of preparation, Sima Nianzu had already prepared sufficient ammunition and was just waiting for Lu Yaowen's order.

"I will have people publicize your every move on Wall Street. You can stop this move after the Siamese government reacts. It will be the time for you to really make a move after all the Wall Street capital starts to act."

Lu Yaowen continued.

"understand!"

Sima Nianzu responded immediately.

After hanging up the phone with Sima Nianzu, Lu Yaowen called Ma Zhihua again and assigned Ma Zhihua tasks in America.

……

The next day, Sima Nianzu, following Lu Yaowen's orders, launched a tentative attack on Siam's currency.

In just one day, the exchange rate of Siam's currency dropped by 7%. When the Siamese government reacted and prepared to fight back, Sima Nianzu immediately stopped and left with a profit of more than 100 million US dollars. At the same time, Sima Nianzu's actions in Siam were almost simultaneously reported by newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, attracting the attention of many international investors, especially Soros, the head of the Quantum Fund.

The last time Sima Nianzu shorted the pound, Soros felt like he had been preempted.

This time, Sima Nianzu shorted the Thai baht again, which once again made Soros feel similar, as if the road that was supposed to be developed by him was developed by someone else in advance.

Although he felt a little strange in his heart, decades of investment experience made Soros understand that Siam and even the entire Southeast Asia is definitely a place more worthy of shorting than the Eagle Country.

These international capitals on Wall Street, like sharks that have smelled blood, have begun to turn their attention to Siam and sharpen their knives to target pigs and sheep.

Time quickly came to February 1st.

Stanley Barracks.

More than 6,000 Mao soldiers stood in a row on the training ground, filling the entire venue with a solemn atmosphere. They quietly watched a Mercedes-Benz sedan and three trucks slowly stop in front of them.

After Lu Yaowen opened the car door, he immediately felt the sharpness of the army in front of him, and thought to himself: They are worthy of being the elite selected by Galitsky from the Soviet army, they are indeed strong enough.

'Papapapa~'

As the sound of Lu Yaowen's applause fell, more than a dozen employees of the security company moved stacks of US dollars out of the truck's compartment and neatly stacked them in front of thousands of Russian soldiers. They soon piled up into a "small mountain", which made these Russian soldiers look a little stunned.

"Everyone, you left your hometown and came here to help me. The only thing I can give you is US dollars!"

Lu Yaowen picked up a red sheet that he hadn't copied and spoke loudly.

"In addition to your fixed monthly salary, you can get extra US dollars if you help me fight, you can get extra US dollars if you help me kill, and you can get enough US dollars to last you a lifetime if you fight for me."

With just a few words, Lu Yaowen made thousands of Russian soldiers remember him completely. Especially after they got the US dollar bills with Franklin's portrait printed on them, these Russian soldiers looked at Lu Yaowen with some fiery eyes.

"Andre, I need you to take a boat to a small island in a month. The mission is very simple. I want you to kill all the Javanese on the island."

After boosting the morale of these Russian soldiers, Lu Yaowen walked to Andre's side and spoke slowly.

“This is what we do best.”

The corners of Andre's mouth curved slightly.

"After that, I need you to enter the mountains in the center of the island. When the second batch of Javan troops arrive, you need to give these people a fatal blow and completely subdue them! Make them afraid!"

Lu Yaowen continued.

To force a government to give up enough interests, it is necessary to put them in a desperate situation economically and militarily, and make them understand that if they do not compromise, they will lose more.

Hearing Lu Yaowen's words, Andre did not speak, but just nodded slightly.

On the same day, Sima Nianzu launched a second attack on the Siamese currency, selling off US$2 billion worth of Thai baht in just one day.

The Siamese government also responded immediately, mobilizing its foreign exchange reserves to buy up the Thai baht sold by Sima Nianzu.

However, with the entry of international capital from Wall Street, the Siamese government began to feel overwhelmed.

Originally, the Siamese government was not as powerful as the Eagle Government, and it only had more than 20 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves.

In just three days, the Siamese government used up a quarter of its foreign exchange reserves to protect the Thai baht.

Once the foreign exchange reserves are exhausted, the Thai baht will depreciate rapidly, and Siam’s development achievements over the past decade will be plundered.

At this time, there were only two options left for the Siamese government. The first option was to completely cut off the foreign exchange market, preventing international capital such as Sima Nianzu from obtaining "bullets".

However, if this happens, the Siamese government's open policy of more than ten years will be interrupted, and without foreign capital, Siam's development will stagnate.

The second way is to cancel the fixed exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar, and at the same time regulate the foreign exchange market, limit the speed at which international capital obtains "bullets", and not block the road. In this way, there will be room for maneuver.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Siamese government chose the second path and urgently passed a financial regulatory ordinance to regulate exchange transactions exceeding 10 million US dollars.

However, what the Siamese government did not expect was that Sima Nianzu and international capital from Wall Street were directly lending to the Siamese people, exchanging US dollars for Thai baht and offering a sky-high interest rate of 50 percent.

This interest rate made the Siamese go "crazy". In just two days, the Siamese lent out more than 100 billion Thai baht, and all these Thai baht became bullets for Sima Nianzu and Wall Street international capital.

After this incident, the Siamese government understood that if they did not completely cut off the foreign exchange market, they would never be able to prevent the Thai baht from being shorted, and a "catastrophe" would be waiting for their country.

On February 6, the Siamese Finance Minister announced that the foreign exchange market would be closed indefinitely until Siam was through the crisis.

Following the Finance Minister's speech, Siam's real estate collapsed directly. In just three days, Bangkok's housing prices dropped by 20% at a visible rate.

At this moment, Hong Kong Island.

After seeing the news that Bangkok house prices had fallen by 20 percent, Lu Yaowen picked up the satellite phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Xie, it's your turn to exert your strength."

After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

Soon, many media in Siam began to fiercely criticize the Siamese Ministry of Finance's policy of closing the foreign exchange market and the Siamese Finance Minister himself.

To stop foreign exchange trading and isolate the country of Siam from the world was described as the most stupid act.

Some economic and financial experts in Siam have also begun various analyses, claiming that if the Siamese government continues to close the foreign exchange market, Bangkok housing prices will fall by 70 percent in just one month.

As public opinion fermented, Siamese people also began to take to the streets to protest, demanding that the Siamese government reopen the foreign exchange market and that the Siamese finance minister step down.

Amid public outcry, on February 20, the Siamese Finance Minister announced his resignation. The next day, the acting Finance Minister announced that the foreign exchange market would be reopened and that the Thai baht would adopt a floating exchange rate and would no longer be pegged to the US dollar.

Afterwards, Sima Nianzu used up all the "ammunition" he had prepared, and with the help of Wall Street international capital, the exchange rate of the Thai baht dropped by 230% in just one week.

This action of shorting the Thai baht was considered by international capital on Wall Street as a complete "dimensionality reduction attack". The Siamese government was like a baby in its cradle, with no room for fightback.

After the Siamese government's 'surrender', a large amount of foreign capital poured into Siam, snapping up Siam's high-quality assets.

The Xie family, Chen family and other wealthy Chinese families in Siam "stepped forward" when foreign capital was "snatching up" and spent a lot of money to "save" Siam's most important livelihood assets, such as the water company, the power company, etc.

At the same time, with the collapse of Siam, other Southeast Asian countries were also severely impacted. Just when all Southeast Asian countries were in a precarious situation, a cargo ship, escorted by several warships and submarines, sailed to Zengmu Island...
