"Director!" Seeing Yazi in front and Zhou Xingxing in the back walking into the conference room, Wu Junru, Ye Zimei and Su Guoli quickly stood up and saluted.
"We are all our own people, so you're welcome." Meiko waved her hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, then turned on the projector and put the prepared materials on the screen.
"I called you here today because there is an important task for your monitoring team. This task is very dangerous and life-threatening, so we must work together with the Flying Tigers."
"Work together with the Flying Tigers." After hearing this, Ye Zimei and the other two people looked at the Flying Tigers commander, Chief Superintendent Zhou Xingxing, who was sitting in the front row.
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything. Just like you, I was dragged here by Miss Meako as soon as I arrived at the headquarters." Zhou Xingxing, who found that everyone was looking at him and liked to do tricks, spread his hands and didn't know anything.
"Our target this time is Team A of the Sixth Bureau of CIA in Eagle Country. If 007 is the ace of the Sixth Bureau - the King of Spies, then Team A is the sharpest knife of the Sixth Bureau. It has carried out countless missions since its establishment. For example, during World War II, they blew up the heavy water storage warehouse of Germany's Nusk Heido factory in Norway. Operation codenamed Feiyan was their work. If you are interested in Operation Feiyan, you can check it out. Commandos sent by Eagle Country resisted in Norway. With the cooperation of the organization, they climbed over cliffs and detoured through inaccessible valleys before successfully sneaking into the factory. Then through an underground tunnel, they arrived at the heavy water storage warehouse without anyone noticing. They installed 18 packets of explosives inside, connected the wires, and checked both sides. , after confirming that it was correct, lit the fuse and evacuated quickly. This attack successfully destroyed 450 kilograms of heavy water produced in Germany, which made Germany's atomic bomb plan a failure. For this reason, the then Prime Minister Fatty Qiu personally met with the participants. Special Forces in action. Operation Feiyan is just one of the many combat cases of Team A. There are too many combat cases that are unknown due to secrecy. You only need to know that every member of Team A is an elite among the elites, and one can be as good as ten."
"What's so great about this? Our Flying Tigers can do it too." After hearing Meazi bragging about Team A, Zhou Xingxing was a little dissatisfied with the Flying Tigers.
"Axing, don't be proud. Team A and the Flying Tigers are different." Meiko shook her head and retorted,
"Team A is a special force, selected from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of combat troops. Its purpose is to attack and complete the task in the shortest time. The Flying Tigers are selected from tens of thousands of front-line police forces, and Group A In comparison, not only is the selection scope much smaller, but the combat capabilities of the police and the army are not comparable. For example, in the 400-meter obstacle course, the Flying Tigers' qualification standards are not qualified to be in the special forces, but even in the army, they are failed. Otherwise, Brother Dong, who has been in Team A, would not be able to wipe out the Flying Tigers one by one."
"Director, what do you mean, Director Lei still has a relationship with Group A." As a member of Bawanghua, Wu Junru was one of the witnesses of the competition that year.
Facing the proud instructor Jian and others, Lei Weidong taught them a good lesson.
"When Brother Dong was studying in London, he spent some time in Group A. Not only was he the ace in it, but he also participated in several operations. In Brother Dong's words. If in the city. The Flying Tigers who are familiar with urban operations can fight with Two members of Team A are exchanged for one or three are exchanged for one! But in the wild, five members of the Flying Tigers may not necessarily be replaced by one member of Team A. The gap between the two is all-round."
"The gap is all-round. The director looks down on our Flying Tigers too much." Zhou Xingxing was a little dissatisfied with Lei Weidong's evaluation.
If it were before, it wouldn't matter if he criticized Zhou Xingxing of the Flying Tigers. If you are not in the government, you will not seek the position. Although he is from the Flying Tigers, Zhou Xingxing has long regarded himself as a married daughter after leaving for more than ten years.
But not anymore. Zhou Xingxing returned to the Flying Tigers and was still the chief instructor. If he said that the Flying Tigers were not good, it would be a slap in his face.
"I know you are not convinced, so Brother Dong gave you this chance." Waving his hand to signal Zhou Xingxing to calm down, Yazi said with a smile,
"According to the intelligence, Team A will arrive in Xiangjiang tomorrow. The Flying Tigers' mission is to cooperate with Supervisor Zu to monitor them secretly. If they don't violate the regulations, they will go. If there is anything out of line, take immediate action to arrest them."
"Director, why did Team A come to Xiangjiang? Is there something important that requires their participation?" Ye Zimei asked as he looked at the action contents distributed by Meazi.
"Team A is the sharp knife of CIA 6. Considering our relationship with Mr. Gui, if nothing else happens, they will support the director and the governor to deal with us." Zhou Xingxing, Ye Zimei and others are all their own, following Lei Wei It has been more than ten years since they met, and there is no need to hide many things from them.
"Since they are here to deal with us, why not arrest them directly? If you catch them, you will save the director trouble." Zhou Xingxing proposed with a fist as big as a sandbag.
"Now our relationship with the director and the governor is very delicate. We are among you, and you are among me. No one dares to take a step beyond the bounds. If we attack Team A first, we will be passive in the interests of justice. And this time A is here. The team is just a small team, and destroying them has nothing to do with the overall situation. It is better to monitor them first and wait for the ghost boss to make a move." Meiko shook her head and rejected Zhou Xingxing's proposal.
"Would it be too passive to wait for Gui Lao to make his move?" Ye Zimei asked.
"Don't worry, just because Xiangjiang can't take action doesn't mean that other places can't take action. London is probably in chaos now." Meiko said with a smile.
As the head of the intelligence department, Meazi received news that international hot money represented by the Quantum Fund had launched a sniper attack on the pound. Gui Lao was already too busy to care about himself and Xiangjiang.
--------As the first central bank in human history, Eagle Country's central bank is far more powerful than HSBC and controls an unknown amount of wealth.
Even after two wars, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets has fallen from the altar of world hegemony, but the Bank of England is still one of the financial institutions with the largest assets in the world.
In the financial market, especially in London, a place with three acres of land, it has never encountered any rivals.
But all this came to an abrupt end with the actions of Soros and others. The reason why international hot money took action against the pound was mainly because they discovered a loophole.
This loophole began in 1978, when Europe proposed the establishment of the European Monetary System.
Because the purpose of Europe becoming a monetary system is to implement a stable exchange rate system. In other words, as long as you are a member of the European Union, your currencies must establish exchange rate parity with each other, that is, the benchmark exchange rate between currencies. The fluctuation range of the actual exchange rate cannot exceed ±2.25% of this parity.
If the exchange rate fluctuation of a member country with respect to other member countries exceeds this limit, then this member country must assume the responsibility of adjusting the exchange rate.
For example, by buying and selling the domestic currency, we can stabilize the domestic currency and bring the fluctuation range of the domestic currency exchange rate back to within the limit of ±2.25%.
After the establishment of the European Monetary System, all EU member states joined the system within a short period of time, except for the Eagle countries.
The reason for not joining is simple. Because if Eagle Country becomes a member of the European Monetary System.
As one of the five major rogue countries, the Eagle Country must assume the responsibility of stabilizing the exchange rate like the Gallic Chicken. This will reduce the room for the Eagle Country to use changes in the exchange rate to adjust its external and domestic economy.
Let’s use an analogy. If there is an economic crisis in Eagle Country. Then, in order to reduce the impact of the economic crisis on the country, Eagle Country can use currency devaluation to improve the competitiveness of its domestic products.
To put it simply, it means stimulating exports, restricting imports, and promoting the increase of GDP, thereby safely escaping the economic crisis.
But joining the European Monetary System will not work. As a member of the European Monetary System, Eagle Country must abide by the disciplines of the European Monetary System and cannot arbitrarily use currency devaluation to stimulate the economy.
However, as a major European country, if Eagle Country does not join the European Monetary System, Eagle Country will lose its influence in the European integration process.
In the end, Eagle Country weighed again and again and joined the European Monetary System in October 1990.
As a major European country, after joining the European Monetary System, the Eagle Country set the exchange rate of its own currency, the pound and the mark, at above 1:2.7780.
In other words, once the exchange rate falls below this rate, Eagle Country must take action to stabilize the exchange rate. In later words, this was a huge mistake, because at that time Germany's economic development was at its peak and its economic strength was growing.
In contrast, the national strength of Eagle Country is declining day by day, and it is difficult to support the fixed interest rate of pound to mark. What's even more unfortunate is that this flaw was discovered by international hot money.
When Eagle Country first joined the European exchange rate system, the exchange rate between pound and mark was 1:2.95.
As a result, the pound has continued to depreciate since the Eagle Country joined the European exchange rate system. Because of the sluggish domestic economy of Eagle Country, in order to stimulate consumption, Eagle Country lowered interest rates to allow more funds to enter the market, thereby improving the domestic economic level.
But Germany doesn't need it. Because the German economy is developing very well, not only companies but also individuals have a lot of money in their hands.
It is an exaggeration to say that there is not enough money to spend. Anyway, even if outside funds do not come in, Germany's economy can develop very well. It can be said that Germany at this time has not raised interest rates, which is the greatest help to the Eagle Country.
Of course, the Eagle Country hopes that Germany can lower its bank interest rates so that the pound can depreciate in compliance with the European interest rate system, allowing the Eagle Country to expand exports through currency depreciation and improve the competitiveness of its products in the international market.
Otherwise, exports will continue to shrink, which will inevitably lead to further economic decline in Eagle Country. However, Germany does not agree with the devaluation of the mark.
Therefore, the pound can only depreciate within a reasonable range. From the beginning, the exchange rate of pound to mark of 2.95 slowly fell, first to 2.85, then to 2.8, and it was close to the European exchange rate mechanism of 1:2.7780.
When Germany was unwilling to depreciate the mark, the Eagle Country had no choice but to take out 3.3 billion pounds from the bank to intervene in the market.
This move, in the eyes of speculators, is a sign that the pound is about to lose its support. Because, if the pound is very strong, why is there any need for central bank intervention?
So under this situation, speculators from all walks of life focused on the pound and began to short the pound. A large number of pound holders began to sell the pound. For a while, most of the people in the market were selling pounds instead of buying pounds. In this buyer's market, sellers will continue to lower prices in order to sell quickly, leading to further depreciation of the pound.
Although the depreciation of the pound is conducive to stimulating the Eagle Country's economy and expanding exports. But it's embarrassing. Eagle Country joins the European Union.
As long as they are members of the European Union, they must abide by the European exchange rate system. The pound can depreciate, but according to the agreement, the exchange rate between the pound and the mark cannot be less than 1:2.7780.
In other words, unless the Eagle country withdraws from the EU, it must hold to 1:2.7780. No matter how much the pound depreciates, no matter how beneficial it is to economic growth, the exchange rate to the mark cannot be less than this value.
Unless the mark also depreciates, the pound will have room to depreciate further. This is why Lei Weidong knows that Quantum Fund and other international hot money can make a lot of money in pounds, but he does not dare to be the main force and can only earn pocket money.
Because, for Soros and other international hot money, they dare to bet that Germany will not devalue the mark.
As long as Germany was unwilling to devalue the mark, the Eagle Country had no choice but to spend a large amount of money on the market to buy pounds.
Because if everyone in the market is buying pounds, the price is in the hands of the seller. In order to buy pounds quickly, the buyer will continue to raise the price.
In this way, the UK can hold the 1: line. But Lei Weidong didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't gamble, because he would definitely lose if he gambled.
The reason is very simple! The attack on the pound seems to be the work of Soros, but in fact the real predator is the Wall Street capital behind hot money.
The reason why everyone remembers Soros! It's because Soros likes to appear in front of the camera and enjoy other people's envious eyes and verbal praise to increase his fame.
The advantage of this is. As an invincible financial predator. Reputation is appeal! When attacking an opponent, as long as you have a good reputation, there will be no one behind you to charge without having to say anything about it.
Wall Street is also happy to have people like Soros as a target so that they can quietly make a fortune behind their backs.
Although Wall Street hides behind international hot money, it does not mean that they do not exert their influence.
When being impacted by international capital. On the one hand, the Eagle Country provided funds to stabilize the market, and on the other hand, it demanded the devaluation of the German mark.
If we say, the one who attacked the pound was Lei Weidong. Then, facing the pressure from the Eagle Country, Germany is likely to devalue the Mark and loot Lei Weidong together with the Eagle Country people.
In this case, no matter how much money Lei Weidong spends, it will be in the hands of Eagle Country and Germany. No matter how much personal money you have, you cannot compete with the country.
It is different when Soros and others attack the pound. The influence of Wall Street is huge, and it can often represent the will of the United States.
Facing the Eagle Country and the United States, any fool knows which side Germany is sitting on. It can be said that it is inevitable for the people of Eagle Country to be beaten.
