Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

To make money, the easiest and quickest way is to find a way to put the money in other people's pockets into your own pockets.

The purpose is the same, but the means are different.

It can be called trade by means of commodity exchange; it can be called finance by buying low and selling high in the stock market, foreign exchange market and futures market; it can be called finance by means of secretly transferring other people's wealth for personal use by means that others cannot detect for a while. Theft; the use of force to force others to surrender assets can be called robbery.

So it is about to deal with Soviet Russia-no, it will not be called Soviet Russia soon. It will split into 15 countries, so it can only be called former Soviet Russia. A series of financial operations against former Soviet Russia. What should it be called?

This is really a good question.

Tan Zhenhua flew to Kiev with this question.

Compared with Moscow, which has become the center of the storm at this time, Kiev seems to be relatively calm. The three Baltic independence incidents that occurred one after another in the first half of the year did not seem to have too much impact on Uklan, but Tan Zhenhua knew that it was peaceful here. Below the outside, the dark tide is surging.

After he arrived in Kiev, he called on many current senior government officials one after another, and had a full day of closed-door consultations with Vinogradov, the president of the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank". What did they talk about, outsiders? I don’t know, but the employees of "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" all found that after this conversation, the expression on their president’s face was very strange for a long time-excited? perturbed? fear?

Can't tell.

But one thing is certain. After this conversation, the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" obviously changed its business strategy, becoming more radical and bold. The interest rate for absorbing savings was 10% higher than that of the Central Bank of Russia. The interest rate has been increased by another 10%, and the loan approval authority has been strictly tightened. All loans must be reviewed by Vinogradov personally-but all the loan officers found that no more loan can be approved!

If this is due to the turbulent situation that caused Mr. President to be more cautious in granting loans, then it is even more incomprehensible for the most core senior leaders of the bank that Vinogradov still used various names. And the interest that is higher than the market price, continue to borrow large amounts of funds from the branches of the major state-owned banks in the Soviet Union in Uklan!

These actions quickly caused the number of rubles on the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" to inflate like a balloon. This made some senior bank staff who knew the inside story very worried-holding so many rubles in cash, but neither Lending, not investing, letting the money lie quietly on the account, and paying interest for the money that far exceeds the market price, is Vinogradov crazy?

Or, is the young China boss crazy?

The base camp of the "Black Sea International Commercial Bank" is in Kiev, and most of the main branches are scattered in the territory of Uklan. It was only because of the case of China Xia’s purchase of Su-27 from the Sukhoi Design Bureau that there was a non-regular person in Moscow. Open business branches, so these senior staff of the bank did not know. At this moment, similar actions are being staged in Moscow at a more frantic pace. There, since 1989, Soviet Russia opened up the banking industry to foreign and private companies. The same actions are being staged in various banks of unknown origin, both large and small. The interest they have set up is even more exciting. The ruble also flows from the hands of residents and from state-owned banks to these foreign or private companies. Bank of!

So it’s not that Tan Zhenhua is crazy, but all the foreign banks are crazy?

Tan Zhenhua is of course not crazy. He is very sober and calm now. After leaving Kiev, he went directly back to the Stanford campus. Every day, he went to the "Matrix" laboratory at three points and one line at home, laboratory, and library. For official business, he seemed to put everything aside, and concentrated on writing his doctoral dissertation.

In the United States, it is not easy for an engineering student to get a doctorate. The pass rate is barely just over 50%, and the average study time is over 5.4 years. He has been "studying" for 5 years, and he really should bring that top. PhD hat.

It seems that this is the case. All those who follow Tan Zhenhua’s every move are surprised to find that the figure who is frequently active in hot events around the world seems to have suddenly calmed down, and is fully aware of all recent events that have shaken Blue Star. indifferent.

On August 19, Soviet Russia had a terrifying coup. Vice President Yanayev, Prime Minister Pavlov, First Vice Chairman Bakranov of the National Defense Council, Defense Minister Marshal Yazov, Interior Minister Pugo, KGB Leader Kryuchkov and other hard-line members and conservatives once deprived Grbanchoff of his presidential rights and announced the establishment of a "National Emergency Committee" to implement a state of emergency for six months in parts of the Soviet Union. The whole world was shocked by it.

That day, Tan Zhenhua stayed in the library from 7 in the morning to look up materials, and did not go home until 12 in the evening. He only made one call at noon that day, calling the Governor of Arkansas Bill Clayton Yes, I wish him a happy birthday and also greet his wife Ms. Hillary’s health.

On August 20, Rakshasa President Ye Liqing announced his refusal to obey the orders of the National Emergency Committee. He stood on a tank and gave a speech: “Because TV and radio are not available, I declare here. Wen, fellow citizens of Rakshasa, from the evening of the 18th to the 19th, our legally elected president was forced from the seat of power. We declared that the "National Emergency Security Committee" is illegal!" He called for a national meeting. A general strike protested against the actions initiated by Yanaev and others. The next day, Grbanchov announced that he had regained control of the situation and resumed the once-interrupted contact with the outside world. The Soviet Russian Defense Ministry decided to withdraw and implement a state of emergency. For regional forces, the Soviet-Russian cabinet issued a statement stating that the president’s instructions were fully implemented, and the coup that lasted only three days ended like a farce.

During those two days, Tan Zhenhua stayed in the laboratory for 48 hours. He had a lively discussion with his mentor, Dr. Hennessy, on a certain digital signal processing circuit and conducted many experiments. Finally, the two reached an agreement. Tan Zhenhua proposed The scheme was successful in the experiment.

On August 24, Gulbanchov announced his resignation as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. At the same time, he suggested that the Central Committee of the Soviet Union dissolve itself and order the cessation of the activities of various political parties in the military and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other military and state agencies. An order was issued to form a committee headed by Silaev to govern the national economy.

That day was Saturday, and Tan Zhenhua took a rare day off and went to climb the hill behind the Stanford campus with Vivian, and visited the famous Palo Alto Research Center by the way, along with McGregor. , McGregor, who has already become famous, also very generously invited all the former colleagues of the research center to have a big meal.

On September 6, the Soviet Russian Council passed a resolution to recognize the independence of the three republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (the three Baltic states).

On November 16, Raksha President Ye Liqing announced 10 presidential decrees, taking over a series of powers belonging to the central financial sector, including the precious metal production sector, depriving the alliance of important financial resources, and stopping about 80 central government agencies. Ministry of Finance.

Later, he announced that the Central Bank of Rakshasa would take over the State Bank of Russia and the Bank of Foreign Economic Relations, and hold the currency power of the Union.

Since this month, Western countries have adjusted their policies towards Soviet Russia, and leaders of various countries have made speeches suggesting their support for the independence of the Soviet republics.

On December 1, the Ukraina Republic held a referendum on the issue of secession from the Soviet Union and the election of the president. The United States said before the vote that if the Ukraina vote indicated that it would be independent from Soviet Russia, the Ukraina Congress would recognize it as soon as possible. 99.85% of voters voted for independence, and Kravchuk was elected as the first Uklan president.

On December 8, Raksha President Ye Liqing, Uklan President Kravchuk, and White Raksha President Shushkevich held the "Agreement on the Establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States" in the Belovez Forest. History Called the "Belover Agreement", this agreement declared the "Commonwealth of Independent States" on the stage of history.

On December 21, the 11 republics of Soviet Russia except the three Baltic States and Georgia signed the Almaty Declaration and the Commonwealth of Independent States Agreement Protocol.

At 19:35 on December 25, Grbanchov announced his resignation as the President of the Soviet Union, and at the same time handed over the "nuclear button" that controls the launch of nuclear warheads to Shaboshnikov, the interim commander-in-chief of the "CIS" armed forces. Ye Liqing, President of Rakshasa.

At 19:38, the Soviet Russian flag with a sickle and hammer pattern over the Kremlin was slowly lowered, and the Rakshasa's white, blue and red tricolor flag was raised on the flagpole. .

On December 26, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union held its last meeting and announced that "Soviet Russia" as a country and subject of international law was about to cease its existence.

At this point, a country that has existed for 70 years and survived the bloodiest dark days of World War II, one of the most powerful countries on the Blue Star, has disappeared in the long river of history.

...

On that day, Tan Zhenhua locked herself in the room and sat quietly all day without saying a word.

Goodbye, Davarish.

See you again.
