Chapter 1335: New Year May Not Bring New Changes

War, especially world-class war, is definitely not the best option.

Just look at the huge casualties and losses in World War I and World War II, and you will know!

Unless it is necessary, war is the last choice, especially for the countries that are currently in the forefront.

Because you have a war, other countries will take this opportunity to make a fortune in national disasters, giving other countries opportunities.

Look at Europe during World War I and World War II. European powers fought to the death, and as a result, Europe lost its hegemony over the entire world. The British and French colonial systems collapsed and were dismembered by the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States made a fortune in national disasters and became the world hegemon in one fell swoop. It competed with the Soviet Union for world hegemony. It can be called the most powerful empire and the most powerful hegemony in human history!

And looking at the losses during World War II, it is absolutely shocking, and it really caused great damage to social productivity.

The Soviet Union suffered more than 20 million casualties and lost 679 billion rubles, which is equal to a quarter of the Soviet Union’s total assets. More than 1,700 cities were destroyed in the war. France’s economic losses in the war were 140 million francs, equivalent to France’s GDP in the three years before the war. Poland lost 20 billion US dollars, Czechoslovakia lost 200 billion crowns, Yugoslavia lost 9.145 billion US dollars, Belgium lost 175 billion Belgian francs, Britain lost more than 25 billion pounds, and the Netherlands lost 1.1425 million Dutch guilders.

Japan also actively participated in this summit.

Now Japan is also trembling, after all, there is a guilty conscience, fearing that it will be repaid later.

The sins committed by Japan in Kyushu in the past have not been forgotten by the Chinese, nor by the Japanese.

There is a saying in Japanese society now, that is, once a war breaks out, Japan may become a battlefield of the war.

This makes Japan full of fear and worry.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult to sleep and eat.

In the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, Japan clearly saw the huge gap between the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the powerful countries in terms of military strength. This gap is very huge.

With the current strength of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, let alone attacking, it is even difficult to protect itself.

Japan was more active than any other summit in the past, even though the United States was unhappy.

The topic of Northeast Asian economic integration has reached its highest level in Japan in recent years.

Even at the 10+2 summit, Japanese scholars even shouted that Asia is Asia for Asians, which is a treasonous statement.

During the one-week summit, many exchanges were held, and exchanges in different fields have been ongoing.

This summit also achieved fruitful results, and all parties signed a joint statement. The joint statement shows that all parties will do their utmost to promote regional economic integration, implement the agreements reached, and remove obstacles for regional economic integration. At the same time, on the issue of how to deal with the economic crisis, all parties have actively stated that they will take proactive measures to solve the economic crisis.

And this time, the integration of politics, economy, culture, and military was rarely proposed, which shows that a solid step forward has been taken in the direction of regional integration.

After the summit, Liu Tao successively participated in the groundbreaking ceremony of the central and western lines of the Pan-Asia Railway and the groundbreaking ceremony of the Malay Peninsula Railway.

In addition to local materials such as stone, soil, and wood, these railways have to transport a lot of steel and cement from China, which is also digesting the relevant domestic production capacity.

Ordinary workers can be recruited locally. But skilled workers have to be called from China.

In addition to building railways, highways, national roads, provincial roads, ports and docks will be built in the southeast peninsula. Through large-scale investment in these infrastructures, economic development will be driven.

Large-scale infrastructure investment overseas has also increased government investment in China, driving economic development through government investment.

With the stimulation of the domestic market, various home appliances, cars, and motorcycles have been sent to the countryside. At this time, the product prices are much cheaper than before because of the reduction or even cancellation of tax rates.

With the efforts of all parties, 2008 quietly turned the last page and the world entered 2009.

It is said that the new year brings new atmosphere, but this is not true.

With the change of the White House, the new US government has officially stepped onto the stage of history. It has proposed a $900 billion economic stimulus bill. Once passed, the amount of the US government's fiscal rescue plan will exceed $2 trillion.

The direct consequence of the US government's huge fiscal stimulus plan is that the US government's fiscal deficit has soared. Many economic experts believe that the US fiscal deficit will exceed $2 trillion in the new year.

After all, in addition to supporting the previous US government's rescue plan, the new government has also launched its own financial rescue plan, including a promise to provide temporary tax incentives to US companies that create jobs in the next two years. Companies can get a tax break of $3,000 for each new job they provide; allowing American families to withdraw funds from pension accounts in advance with a total amount of no more than $10,000; for homebuyers who are in trouble but are still trying to repay their loans, the deadline for losing their mortgage foreclosure rights will be extended by 90 days; and calling on the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department to provide more economic assistance to state and local governments.

As for the three principles of financial regulatory reform, that is, protecting consumers, plugging loopholes in the financial system and regulatory system, and strengthening international cooperation.

As for whether it can be done, no one knows.

Barack, who was full of vigor and vitality, wanted to show his talents, but he was soon frustrated.

I found a perfect version in the 16-9 book forum!

Because Barack found that the previous government left a mess to this government. The huge national debt made the United States pay a lot of interest every year, and there was no extra money to save the market.

Even if quantitative easing and large-scale money release were carried out, there was a problem in front of him, that is, inflation.

He was able to win over his competitors because the inflation rate remained high, and Americans were quite resentful.

If more dollars were printed, the inflation rate would be high, the dollar would have to depreciate, and the purchasing power of the dollar would decrease. If the US government followed the rules, it would have no money to save the market, and it might even go bankrupt.

Barack tried to visit the other side of the Pacific Ocean, hoping to use international cooperation to overcome the economic crisis. But Barack soon found that his eloquence was ineffective.

When it comes to interests, what bargaining chips can the United States offer? This question is before the United States. Barack is faced with this choice and it is difficult for him to make a choice.

If he chose to exchange chips, he would be scolded to death.

As for the empty-handed trick he wanted, the other party didn't buy it at all.

This made Barack very angry. It's not that he didn't think about using military means, but after understanding it, he realized that the US military was the biggest ballast stone in the relationship between the two sides.

Military means are not advisable at all!

In this case, Barack's performance was not much better than George Walton. (End of this chapter)
