USSR 1991

He took a deep breath. The attack on Hong Kong had already caused him a lot of losses. The ruble exchange rate war this time made Soros feel heavy. He already felt that the Quantum Fund's vitality was severely damaged, and it was difficult to support the overall situation on its own.

"I'm going to call other people and tell them this war is over."

Soros' voice was hoarse, not as bold as before. Quantum Fund, which swept the entire world in the 90s, finally lost its ambition to conquer after two consecutive defeats.

"we lose."

"It's a complete loss."

Chapter 998 The Scarlet Butcher

The chain effect of the dominoes has exploded, and the offensive has begun to show a 180-degree turn, developing in places they did not expect.

The sudden withdrawal of Soros Capital Group caused quite a financial earthquake, and those who followed them and wanted to profit from this muddy water were not so lucky.The departure of the largest capital group directly led to heavy losses for later entrants, who were almost wiped out.

Yanayev used iron and steel to keep the ruble's exchange rate, and bit all the speculators fiercely. The last looper of the deadlock was untied, and the Soviets resisted the first financial attack.

Compared with other battlefields filled with gunpowder, Moscow finally had a victorious smile. They stepped on the bloody corpses of speculators, bankers, and financiers, and had the last laugh.

From a rich man worth over [-] million to being impoverished overnight, this is the bloody law of the financial market. If you fail and fall down, you will never get up again.Desperate speculators lost their last sum of money. They stood on the top of the skyscrapers in New York City, with no coins left in their pockets. Looking at the neon city, they closed their eyes and jumped out of their pockets. Down.

"Damn Soviets!"

This is the last thought that crosses the financier's mind before jumping off a towering building.

The final effort to attack Moscow’s financial war failed, and they could only leave with despair. They were the victims of the financial turmoil, and they were also the initiators of the failure. The speculators drew the end of an era with blood. No one dared to challenge the Soviets, and they became complete losers.

From the street to the river, from the office to the study, there are the corpses of losers. This war is more tragic than the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate. They stopped when they saw the situation was wrong, but Moscow’s financial war cleverly set up a situation. Just when they thought victory was imminent, they took a sharp bite back.

The police didn't even have time to clean up the financier's body.Because the entire United States of America ushered in a wave of suicides in the financial world.Almost every time I open the office, I can see the scene of them committing suicide with a gun, and the back of their heads are scarlet.

After the end of this "financial bailout", what Yanayev was most concerned about was not the stability of the financial market and the exchange rate, but the news of how many financial speculators committed suicide by jumping off buildings. Showing an astonishingly rising probability, those speculators who lost heavily chose death in the most desperate gesture.

This war marks the end of an era.The era of American speculators using financial means to shake the economies of other countries is over.

The Quantum Fund under Soros also suffered heavy losses. He can no longer maintain his previous brilliant record, and the next most likely situation is bankruptcy and reorganization. , Instead, he lost the money for attacking England and Southeast Asia before, and Soros's wrong prediction paid a heavy price for him.

For a while, the proud Quantum Fund was on the verge of collapse and collapsed at any time.

He still wanted to make a comeback, but there was no chance. Druckenmiller told him that his former allies were no longer willing to provide loans because of the heavy losses, and that the rewards promised by the US government were no longer due to the dramatic comeback. Bring it up.The White House government represented by Yellen has shown the face of a politician, and all previous promises are nullified.

There is only one ending for Soros, to close the Quantum Fund.

And bury his glorious record since the 90s.

This is an unacceptable reality.

The two remaining red republics started the bloodiest war as soon as they took action. China made the capitalists in the West feel the pressure, and the Soviet Union turned their victory into a nightmare.

worst nightmare.

"It seems that this group of people will not take any action in a short period of time. We won this war. It is really thrilling. If it is not for the investment of the last sum of money, I am afraid that the bank plan that the Soviet Union has just implemented now has completely collapsed .”

Vladimir sighed. He didn't even close his eyes in sleep these days, worried that the ruble would completely collapse in the financial war, but Yanayev withstood all the pressure and insisted on the stability of the exchange rate.

The final outcome has already come out. Not only does it crush Europe in terms of military strength, but even in the financial war, Moscow’s performance is much better than the so-called London Stock Exchange gang. Sterling and Mark did not win the attack of international speculators , and the ruble made them suffer.

Yanayev sounded the alarm for the next leadership team, making them realize that there are many such external crises waiting for them as they continue to deepen reforms.

"We are not the British government. Under successive economic crises, we can't even resist the attacks of Quantum Fund. We bought a lot of pounds back then and couldn't stop Mark's attacks. But it's hard to say in the future. Although we won the first game War, but the war is not over, we still need to continue to deepen reforms, Comrade Vladimir, from now on your important tasks will be concentrated on economic reforms, if our system is not perfect, we will be like Southeast Asian countries, only need one External shocks can end their economies."

Vladimir nodded. The fate of Southeast Asian countries is already obvious. I don’t know how many ambassadors and counselors broke their legs, trying to discuss with the Kremlin about joining the economic organization.

Now in the eyes of the Russians, Yanayev is no longer a tough leader, he is more like a god who saves the country.

The 1998 financial crisis had a far-reaching impact. In the next few years, Southeast Asian countries have not recovered from this nightmare.However, the Soviet Union relied on its strong foreign exchange reserves to withstand this wave of financial shocks, and even counterattacked, forcing a group of international speculators to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

The Soviet Union became famous in the first battle, which even surprised many self-righteous financial analysts.

Polar bears who have just transitioned from a planned economy have actually won the war waged by established financial giants?

"Also, our Asia-Europe Economic Cooperation Organization can consider going online. Now that the strength of various Southeast Asian countries has been greatly reduced, it is time to let them know that the red polar bears in Eastern Europe are ready to start to regroup."

"This time, the red butcher will use another method to make the whole world tremble."

Chapter 999 Cultural Export

Sniffing out and eradicating traitors, this sentence is not only valid within the KGB, but also applies to the Monetary Authority. Those banks that are inextricably linked to foreign speculators will not be able to escape, and they will directly go to the bank suspected of financial short-selling. The boss took it away directly, without any room for negotiation.

At the beginning of the establishment of the market, the Soviet Union’s crackdown on and prevention of financial crimes was far stricter than other countries. Yanayev was 12 vigilant about the market economy. If he believed in the integrity of capitalists, it would be better to believe in world peace. After 20 years, even a big country will not open real estate groups everywhere, using high housing prices to maintain the growth of gdp.

After withstood the last wave of aftershocks, nothing can stop the strengthening of the ruble exchange rate. At least this incident also made the White House realize the fact that the Soviet Union is not a giant to be messed with. This is not only reflected in their The strong military strength is reflected in the strong financial support of the Soviet Union. Even President Mario couldn't figure out why he had jumped from a country on the verge of disintegration to a wealthy country in just a few years. An oily country.

This is not just a change in the system. The oil dug directly turned the Soviet Union from a turbulent country into a rich and oily country. The foreign exchange reserves of hundreds of billions of dollars also gave the Soviet Union the confidence to challenge the United States. After the United States, Europe and the Soviet Union unanimously disturbed the situation in the Middle East, their advantages will become more obvious.

The victory of the financial war also made Yanayev start to think about some actions that turned from defense to offense, such as the output of ideology. There has been no special progress. Now Yanayev wants to change his thinking, not only to instill red consciousness, but also to earn a fortune from the Western world.

Games, movies, and books are the best weapons for them to spread their ideas. The first two have a far greater impact on Western teenagers than bullets and gunfire. In the 90s, with the popularization of Microsoft systems, computers will be in people's future. occupy an increasingly important part of life.

Thinking about how young people in Western Europe will become rooted in the struggle for the liberation of all human beings in the future, this subtle power is terrifying.

He called the ideological leader Surkov to his office, and gave him and the think tank team behind him a new task to silently infiltrate their socialist ideas into Europe and the United States, and occupy the high ground of public opinion.

Surkov felt a little strange. The people in the Propaganda Department hadn't let up in fighting in this area over the years. Why did Yanayev emphasize the need for a new war?

"The times have changed." Yanayev whispered, "The methods of the past are no longer suitable for the development of this era. We can see from the latest games released in the United States that they have not realized that this is a propaganda. Tool of."

Surkov reminded, "But I don't think this deserves too much attention from the General Secretary. After all, using computers to promote our consciousness is just one of many means..."

Yanayev shook his head. Sure enough, even some of the far-sighted people in the Kremlin cannot get rid of the limitations of the times. I am afraid that the only one who is also aware of the importance of this matter is the kind elder in the Republic who wears black-rimmed glasses .

"Comrade Surkov, you made a mistake. In the future, the Internet will enter ordinary households and will no longer be a high-end luxury. We can all see the trend of popularization in recent years, and it will radiate at an explosive speed in the future. spread."

Yanayev did not give Surkov the room to refuse, and said directly, "The Soviet Union will sell the first game. This is the first signal that we are challenging the West."

"This game will be funded by the Kremlin itself. As for the cost, we will not care about it, but the picture must be exquisite, the plot must be exciting enough, and even the music. I said that the best soundtrack will be used regardless of the cost. Our ideological indoctrination should not be too obvious and deliberate in the characters of the game, so that European teenagers will receive the cultural influence. And this is a game for European teenagers, so it must not be too specific to the configuration of the computer There is a lot of pressure. And it will be handed over to the company, and it is best for the government not to participate in the game of the market.”

Propagating ideology through games really opened Surkov's eyes. Perhaps other people in the Kremlin would just shake their heads in disdain when they heard this move.But intuition told Surkov that General Secretary Yanayev would never be wrong.Red Alert, which was launched under his instruction, caused a wave of enthusiasm in Western European countries, and they all expressed surprise for this new type of fighting game.What's more, through well-planned plots, such as soldiers holding grenades and rushing towards enemy tanks, soldiers saying goodbye to their mothers, and tanks crushing the enemy, the Soviet Union was planned to be a hero of the country, and the Soviet Union's position in the world was slowly reversed. The brutal and barbaric image left before the peoples of all countries.

They are more like romantic victims of the war, refreshing many people's attitudes and views on this country for a while.

However, after all, Yanayev casually said Red Alert, and even he never thought that it would cause such a major response. After that, he began to carefully plan a long-term public opinion tug-of-war.

It is no longer the dull and boring newspaper propaganda of the Ministry of Truth, but the occupation of public opinion that keeps pace with the times.

"This is the first game launched by the Soviet Union to the world, and it is also a signal to start a new round of public opinion war. We must go ahead of the Americans and promote the development of a new industrial chain. These are essential Work. As long as the Soviet Union sets up a brand of political missions and can attract the attention of businessmen, we will succeed. Don’t underestimate the power of capital, as long as the central government nods and affirms this approach, then politically correct games will emerge endlessly , and smashed it in the direction of Western Europe. By the time the CIA realized something was wrong, we had already planted the red flag in their hearts."

Look at the problem with a perspective that transcends the times. Although in the eyes of later generations, it is common for the United States to export values ​​​​through Hollywood movies and games, but in the 90s when the Internet was just emerging, this was a unique strategic vision.
