Chapter 1324 Where to Cut the Meat?

The exports and imports of European and American countries have fallen sharply this year.

But this is normal. People in European and American countries have shrunk in wealth, so of course they have to live frugally.

After all, people in European and American countries do not have the habit of saving, and most people cannot even afford $1,000. They invest most of their money in the stock market.

Since 2007, the wealth of people in most European and American countries has shrunk severely, and many have even gone bankrupt.

The public deficits of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain all exceeded 3%. They were called the "European Pigs" and their bonds became junk. The yields on the European Pigs' government bonds all soared, and the international rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded their ratings. to 'junk level'.

Affected by the crisis in the United States, a crisis has also broken out in the Eurozone, and the debt crisis here is extremely prominent. If you are not careful, the entire European Union may fall apart.

The Franco-German alliance composed of France and Germany unanimously strengthened their armaments and prepared for war.

Other countries are also preparing for war, and the possibility of war has risen sharply.

Georgia is preparing to move troops to South Ossetia in an attempt to divert the crisis.

If it weren't for the Beijing Olympics, I'm afraid the war would have started.

Latin America is too far from paradise and too close to the United States. No country in Latin America has not been affected by the American crisis.

Countries that nationalize sooner will fare better in this crisis.

Mexico has been quelling warlord wars for many years and is on the verge of breaking out.

In Australia, conflicts between Japanese immigrants and Australia have begun. The Japanese immigrant community has armed themselves and openly resisted the first inspection by the Australian police. The two sides are already engaged in a war of words.

As an export-oriented economy, South Korea has been hit to pieces. Since last year, the production and quality of South Korean love action movies have been rising rapidly. According to this trend, it may not take long for them to catch up with Japan.

The Japanese economy has also been hit hard again. It experienced negative growth in 2007, and negative economic growth this year is a foregone conclusion.

A few years ago, the Japanese were lamenting the "lost ten years", but now Japan is destined to suffer the "lost twenty years"!

The closer it is to the U.S. economy, the more severe the impact will be.

Even in Bharat, as American soldiers no longer spend their money in the red light district and bars, the decline can be seen with the naked eye around the US military base in Bharat.

Nowadays, the price for street girls is not even half of what it was before. Even so, the business is much worse than before.

The whole of Bharat was greatly affected.

Boeing and other companies have set up factories in Bharat, but they have not yet officially started large-scale production, so they have to face the end of bankruptcy and lose all their money.

Orders originally coming from Europe and the United States have dropped significantly, and many Bharat export companies have closed down due to a lack of foreign trade orders.

Now, Bharat is like a powder keg, with extremely fierce conflicts among various internal forces. In this case, one can either choose civil war and fight until exhaustion, and the conflicts will be alleviated or even eliminated; or one can choose to go to war externally to transfer the conflicts.

When going to war with foreign countries, the possibility of shifting conflicts is the greatest!

George Wharton didn't look good. As the helmsman of the giant ship of the United States, he naturally had to consider all aspects.

The effectiveness of the bailout was greatly reduced, which made the U.S. government realize that it alone could not bail out the market and tide over the difficulties.

There are only three choices before the U.S. government. One is the outbreak of internal conflicts, which may lead to a repeat of the Civil War. The civil war will wipe out all kinds of contradictions in the war and give birth to new countries. Of course, there is also the possibility of USA, USB, and USC. , USD and so on.

One is to launch another war with foreign countries, use war to divert conflicts, use war machines to re-stimulate economic development, and use war and arms trade to reconstruct American industry.

As for the choice of war, going north to Canada, this would not be able to achieve the goal. It does not mean that it cannot be won, but it can be won very easily and cannot divert the conflict.

To the south is Mexico. There are more than a dozen warlords in Mexico. Each warlord ceded territory and became king. Previously, it was just a ceasefire due to huge international pressure and money to be made.

Mexico is a big mudflat. Even if you don't have it, you can't be sure. Once you get in, you will take over Mexico with overwhelming force and sweep away all the major warlords in Mexico. Instead, you will get stuck in the big mudflat and be unable to get out.

The United States now has two large mudflats, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. These two battlefields consume hundreds of billions of dollars every year. If another large mudflat appears, the United States will be doomed.

Of course, you can also choose South America further south. Whether it is Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, etc., they are all good targets. However, these countries all have strong military strength, not as good as Iraq at the time, but they are also in the world. Once the battle is fought, it is hard to control how big and how long it will take.

In addition, you can also use Iraq as a springboard to attack countries rich in oil and natural gas such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. These oil and natural gas are wealth. However, in addition to the Arab League, there are also major powers from outside the region. It is easy for the three countries to directly break out. In the war, even the United States has to be cautious.

In addition, it is to seek cooperation with China and get help from China to tide over the difficulties.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

But as Liu Tao put it, what price is the United States willing to pay to get help?

This question has actually been popping up in front of him since last year.

But this question is difficult to answer!

The United States is in a very difficult position!

South Korea, Japan? Or do Japan and South Korea have to catch up?

Or - Guam! ? ?

These are the core interests of the United States!

Like Japan, the United States can suck blood from Japan every time, and the benefits are quite amazing. In South Korea, behind the major chaebols is actually Wall Street in the United States. A large part of the money South Korea earns every year falls on Wall Street.

As for Guam, it is the largest naval and air force base of the United States in the Western Pacific. Various military facilities account for 1/3 of the entire area of ​​Guam. It is an unsinkable aircraft carrier. The United States is also reluctant to give up Guam.

Apart from this, there are no benefits to pay in the surrounding area.

Looking at George Wharton's face, Liu Tao sighed secretly. He said with a smile on his face: "George, you are about to arrive. You, the Republican Party, have absolutely no chance this year. It is better to leave the mess to the Democratic Party. This way you, the Republican Party, can also compete for the latter.”

"Of course, as friends, your family's business in China and ASEAN will not encounter any obstacles." Liu Tao said, "We must believe in the wisdom of future generations and believe that they have the wisdom to solve current problems."

When it comes to core interests, this is not something that can be achieved easily.

After all, no one wants to cut their flesh, it hurts too much!

The initiative now lies in China's hands, and time is on China's side.

As for going ocean-going, there's nothing we can do about it. The Americans have the advantage. But in China's periphery, South Asia, and Nanyang, the Americans have no advantage. (End of chapter)
