In Tokyo, even the most fierce dragon is afraid of the hatchet

Page 335

Both countries are major oil exporters. With the outbreak of war, crude oil prices in the market continued to rise and the stock market was also chattering.

Although the market only fell by about 2 or 3 percent every day, it fell for five consecutive trading days, and countless people felt the cruelty and horror of war.

However, compared with previous rescue efforts, no one is calling for a rescue this time.

Japan has always been an energy importer, and automobile sales account for a large proportion of its trade exports. It is obvious that if oil prices continue to rise, it will have a huge impact on automobile exports.

The financial risks brought about by this war are beyond human control.

"If the situation continues to deteriorate, there won't be a world war."

"It's hard to say. The worst-off country is probably Japan. If it really turns out like that, and we get hit by a few more big guys, we might disappear from the face of the earth."

"I don't know what those idiots in the cabinet are thinking. Tying us Japanese to the American chariot, are they trying to make the Yamato people cannon fodder for the United States?"

"We little Japan are just a dog of the United States. Don't you realize it yet?"

"..."

Because of the performance report.

Nao Nagano came to Tokyo.

After the meeting, I got together with Ryouta Iue and Kenichi Sato to drink.

Suddenly I heard Kenichi Sato say that Japan is America's dog, and I was immediately choked and speechless.

This guy's awareness is too good!

But Iue Ryouta obviously did not accept such words, and angrily cursed: "Sato, you are a beetle in the soil, a parasite. As a civil servant, you are supported by us, but you actually said such words that betrayed the nation. How can a lowly nation like the United States be compared with our Yamato nation?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Iue, please stop making personal attacks, okay? I admit that we civil servants are parasites who do nothing, but I'm just being realistic. If we allow the United States to deploy military bases in Japan, then aren't we little Japan America's dogs?"

"This is just a historical issue. Besides, we failed in China and were eventually taken advantage of by the United States! Although we lost the war, we are now colonizing this inferior nation economically."

"But isn't that still a loss? What is there to be proud of?"

"What does this have to do with what you said? It was because we lost to China that the United States took advantage of us. Otherwise, how could such an inferior nation defeat the Yamato nation?"

"What difference does it make? We are still defeated and reduced to running dogs."

"What? How dare you say that? The Chinese are only slightly worse than us, but they have more people, so it's not surprising that they lost. If it weren't for the Chinese, how could the inferior nation of the United States defeat us, Japan?"

"..."

The two idiots were arguing endlessly.

Nagano Nao didn't even know how to start.

How come the Chinese are just a little bit worse than you little Japan?

It's a pity that I am just a little Japanese.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's talk about drinking. What's the point of arguing? Besides, it's just a war in the Middle East. It's not that serious. It should stabilize soon!"

"You are too politically ignorant, straight man. If Iraq completely occupies Kuwait, it will mean victory for the Soviet Union and Mao. With such a sharp increase in oil prices, the Soviet Union and Mao will probably recover."

"You know about this, so how could the Americans not know? Since they have already sent troops to Iraq, they will definitely respond."

"..."

International relations are always a matter of interest.

And justice is even more of a false proposition.

But what’s interesting is that among interests, there is always something called justice.

Even more than 40 years after the war, people can see the shadow of US-Soviet competition and confrontation in almost all regional conflicts.

But proxy wars are one thing, and one country violating the sovereignty of another is another.

The Security Council meeting was convened in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

A large part of them chose to agree, and those who ultimately did not make a choice looked at spokesperson Su Mao.

Abstain!

One vote cast.

This result is surprising, but also reasonable.

Although Iraq was one of the few close allies of the Soviet Union in the Middle East for many years, it was not easy to openly support the invasion.

result.

The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 14 with 0 votes in favor, 1 votes against and 660 abstention, condemning Iraq's violation of the UN Charter and demanding its withdrawal.

Seriously.

No matter what kind of war it is, it is a matter of interest.

The same is true for the relationship between countries.

Such is the war between men and women.

clap clap.

When summer comes, places like Japan are always full of typhoons and heavy rains.

The violent storm, accompanied by lightning and thunder, struck the earth and composed a beautiful melody.

on your computer.

The dim screen reflected a dazzling light.

During this time.

While the international community was buzzing about the Kuwait War, Naoyo Nagano did nothing but enjoy dragging Mrs. Yamaguchi to watch the market with him.

One month.

Crude oil has risen from $11 to $21.

Double the profit?

NO.

US crude oil futures come with leverage.

A five percent margin means a twenty-fold leverage, a one-fold increase, and a profit of nearly twenty times.

Profit of US$874586000.

Nao Nagano held Mrs. Yamaguchi in his arms while sitting on a chair, staring at the screen and poking it slowly.

But every time she was poked, Mrs. Yamaguchi felt like her heart stopped beating, like a fish that had lost water, her body tensed, her mouth open, and she had difficulty breathing.

More than $800 million.

What concept?

Converted into Japanese yen, it is over 100 billion, which is too huge for normal people to understand.

But Nao Nagano grabbed Mrs. Yamaguchi's fingers, picked them up, and pressed them on the keyboard, again and again.

Once per click.

Millions of dollars are fluctuating.

The price fluctuations on the computer are impossible to capture with the naked eye. They flicker wildly, causing the heart to beat rapidly.

"Can't......"

Mrs. Yamaguchi begged for mercy.

Millions of dollars.

Hundreds of millions of funds are transferred in the blink of an eye.

She had never played such an exciting game before, and it was beyond her ability to bear.

But Nagano Naoto had no sympathy at all and continued to push her, pressing his fingers on the keyboard.

In the market, suddenly a large amount of short positions were closed, which turned into long positions due to trading rules, and directly pushed up the price of crude oil by one dollar.

So.

On Nao Nao's account.

Profits instantly increased by tens of millions of dollars.

Wall Street.

The manager of an investment company collapsed instantly when he saw the short positions in his account being forced to close due to the rules.

But this was just the beginning. As crude oil prices continued to rise, countless short sellers were hit at their stop-loss points and suffered a massacre.

Empty flat.

Large-scale empty flat.

Those who short sell know that closing their short positions means becoming long, but if they run fast they will leave a leg untouched, while if they run slowly they will be pinned to the ground and rubbed hard until they die.

Countless short sellers raised their butcher knives and chopped at their own necks.

Even though these short sellers knew they were killing themselves, they kept closing their positions in the hope of escaping.

The market crashed again and again.

Crude oil prices rose 3 percent as short positions were liquidated.

The computer screen is pierced by a huge positive line.

Countless bears felt as if their souls were torn apart and they had lost all their will.

Empty! Empty!

The bulls have not made any further effort.

The short sellers, however, are chopping themselves down without caring about their lives!

As massive short positions were killed, crude oil prices skyrocketed, bringing more collapsed liquidations.

Mrs. Yamaguchi also broke down again and again.

One billion dollars!
