#468 - Chapter 468: The plane crashed into the building, chaos! Funds entered the market, crazy harv
Large destroyers?
Aircraft carriers?
China has none of those!
Tsarist Russia does have some.
The problem is, their performance is terrible, especially compared to North America…
Whether it's performance or quantity, the difference is like a hundred thousand miles.
To put it bluntly.
The restraint against North America is the electronic warfare pod.
But!
It's not impossible to crack, it just takes some time.
“Besides, a comprehensive sanction doesn't necessarily mean it will escalate into war.”
“Even if it is war, with our military strength, with the number of our allies, are we still afraid?”
“Sanctions!”
“Comprehensive sanctions!”
Almost all the top brass in the military unanimously passed the sanctions resolution.
Sanctioning China?
It will affect their vital interests.
They will definitely be dissatisfied, and even… sing a different tune from the government.
“Can't control that much…”
Suddenly!
Just as Henry finished speaking, a sharp alarm sounded.
In the air, inside a civilian airliner, several bearded men in robes completely controlled the plane.
There were a total of four such airliners.
The planes were diving at full speed!
The target was…
The Pentagon!
On September 11, 2001, the Middle East launched this attack, triggering North America's 20-year war on terror against the Middle East.
In this life, it's more than two months earlier.
In just two minutes.
The airliner was close to the Pentagon.
Boom!
A fiery cloud soared into the sky.
The black and red fireball spread rapidly, and even faster than the fireball was the invisible shockwave.
The power of the explosion was beyond imagination.
Theoretically.
Not to mention the fuel in the airliner, even if the cabin was filled with TNT, it wouldn't have this much power!
In Chen Hao's previous life, after the Pentagon was attacked, only one corner of the structure was damaged.
This time…
The shockwave raged, and the entire above-ground structure of the Pentagon collapsed like a house of cards.
The power was no less than a thousand tons of TNT equivalent.
Almost a tactical nuclear weapon!
Not just Washington?
There's also New York!
Earlier than Washington, two airliners crashed one after another.
The Pentagon is a military building.
The target in New York was the financial center.
…
Shanghai.
Chen Hao held a bottle of beer and clinked glasses with the resentful Deng Xiaoyan.
“When are you getting married to Zhao Yunjie?”
He asked with a smile.
Looking like an elder urging marriage during the Spring Festival.
“What marriage?” Deng Xiaoyan was confused.
“Love that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around!” Chen Hao lectured earnestly.
“I didn't say I wouldn't get married, but…”
That's not right!
Deng Xiaoyan recovered: “Whether I get married or not is none of your business? When are you getting married to Xia Qingmo?”
“Why should I answer you?”
“You…”
Fine!
Deng Xiaoyan realized he was being played.
Haozi's expression clearly treated him like a godson: “You're carrying a dead mouse on your waist, you and I…”
Suddenly!
Just as Deng Xiaoyan was about to explode, the satellite phone suddenly rang.
After answering, in less than ten seconds.
Chen Hao suddenly stood up: “Let's go! Start working!”
Without even settling the bill, the group left, leaving Deng Xiaoyan stunned.
“Little brother, please… settle the bill.” The boss smiled.
“It's not…”
“You don't want to eat a free meal, do you?”
A group of people were eating, and suddenly ran away collectively, looking too much like they were trying to eat a free meal.
Finding the boss staring at him, Deng Xiaoyan reluctantly took out his wallet.
On the other side.
The group went straight to the Longyu Network computer room.
Just sitting in front of the computer, Chen Hao casually refreshed the webpage.
What caught his eye…
Falling so hard that even his mother wouldn't recognize him!
Before, shorting US stocks was targeting a few individual stocks, but this time it was the entire stock market.
After all, he didn't know which stock would fall the most, and besides, a single stock couldn't accommodate so much capital.
It could only be dispersed!
“Microsoft plummeted 38%… and it's still falling!” Gong Wei shouted excitedly.
“General Electric fell 31%!”
“Walmart fell 29%!”
“ExxonMobil…”
Without exception, they were all falling, just with different magnitudes.
“Keep an eye on them all!”
Chen Hao didn't even dare to blink.
Leverage was added!
He wasn't sure how much it would fall today, nor was he sure if there would be a rebound tomorrow.
Due to the high leverage, even a short-term rebound could be forced to liquidate.
Therefore.
Shorting won't last for many days, just make money on the first day.
On the first day, there will definitely only be a fall!
…
The entire North America was in chaos.
The White House was even more chaotic.
News poured in like snowflakes, and the president was almost on the verge of collapse.
There were various departments seeking assistance.
There were various countries inquiring about news.
There were many groups and chaebols cursing.
The key was that the ground part of the Pentagon was almost flattened in an instant, and the military's top decision-making level was directly wiped out.
The army was in a state of no one in charge.
Who to turn to?
Only the president!
The entire president's office was surrounded by various departments.
Countless problems were waiting for his decision.
“Mr. President!”
Smith squeezed in: “Stock market news…”
“Get out!”
The president was exasperated: “At this time, you're still talking to me about the stock market?!”
“Huge amounts of funds are shorting!” Smith said urgently.
He is the director of the CIA.
Besides, the last time the president gave him a task, it was to keep an eye on the behind-the-scenes short sellers.
Last time, the mastermind shorted a few individual stocks and directly took away hundreds of billions of funds, and it must not be allowed to happen again!
“What?!”
The president stood up instantly: “Why didn't you say so earlier?!”
“…”
Smith was dumbfounded.
I came to say this, but you told me to get out!
“Freeze it!”
The president's face was livid: “Damn rats! They dare to come and short when we're in trouble – let them lose everything!”
There are formal means to deal with shorting.
For example.
Use North America's strong funds to go long and confront the damn shorts head-on.
North America has the strongest financial resources in the world.
Are they still afraid of not being able to beat the shorts?
But…
That depends on the situation!
For more than two hundred years, North America was attacked on its own soil for the first time, the Pentagon was almost flattened, and the New York financial district was full of casualties.
Using funds to fight a defensive war is a means of dealing with shorting.
But this time…
It's not something that money can solve!
Although the president made this decision with factors of annoyance and anger, it was also the only way at the moment.
However, it's not a formal means.
It's like doing business.
You buy and I sell, it's a legitimate transaction.
What about now?
I directly rob your wallet, which is essentially robbery and already illegal!
It's just that, as the world's only superpower, no country can convict North America.
The order issued by the president was sent out by Smith.
The Federal Reserve.
Major banks.
Securities Exchange Center.
Jointly launch the freeze program!
…
Longyu Network computer room.
Excited voices came one after another.
Making a killing!
“Chairman Chen, I've made four times my money here!”
“I've made more than five times!”
“I…”
Gong Wei was even more excited.
The funds he was responsible for had already expanded six times.
But!
Just as he was about to shout, his expression suddenly changed drastically: “Chairman Chen, it's not good! The funds have been frozen!”
“Me too…”
“Damn! I made almost six times!”
“Open robbery? Scumbags!”
“What to do?!”
Exclamations and scolding rose and fell.
