It’s Christmas again. Compared with previous years, because the joint statement has been issued, there is no tense situation this year.
Although Li Jianhui personally has no feelings about Christmas, the general environment is such that he can only follow it.
On this day, students were on holiday and businesses were suspended, making the already crowded Heung Kong even more crowded. Whether it was Central, Mong Kok, or even several major new urban business districts, there were huge crowds of people.
Because he has many children and it is rare that he does not have to go to the company, Li Jianhui did not go anywhere and spent this Christmas warmly at home with his daughters and children.
However, on this day, something happened that shocked the world. I don’t know who gave Argentina the confidence to send troops to raid the Falkland Islands on such a holiday.
When Li Jianhui got up the next day and received the news, he was quite shocked. He really couldn't imagine where the Argan country would have the courage to take action, knowing that Britain attached great importance to the Falkland Islands.
Shocked, but Li Jianhui does not think that Argentina will be able to regain control of the Falkland Islands because of his influence.
Although the Donghua Society currently has some markets in Argentina, its influence is not large. Li Jianhui does not pay too much attention to this matter. It has little to do with him anyway.
It's a pity that he was wrong, and very wrong. In the afternoon of that day, Li Chenyulian, as the Minister of Defense of the Governor of Donghua Territory, received calls from the Queen and Thatcher one after another.
There is only one meaning, and that is to hope that the air force and navy of the Donghua Territory will accept the dispatch of the British military, especially the twelve most advanced Mirage 2000 fighters.
Since the infrastructure of the Donghua Territory is still under construction, sea, land and air forces are training in England. It is said that it was discussed with Chen Yulian, but it is more like a notice. Moreover, it has advanced equipment and the existence of a treaty. This time, England is under attack. Li Jianhui
It doesn't matter whether you disagree or not.
In order to avoid falling into an unprovoked war, Chen Yulian signed a treaty with the British specifically stipulating that only if the British were not the first to start a war and were attacked, the troops in the Tung Wah Hui territory would accept the deployment of the British military.
Previously, Li Jianhui believed that due to his influence, it was basically impossible for the Argan country to take action. But without this, in the next few decades, the British would basically send troops to fight other countries, and no one would attack the British. The British military would not command Donghua at all.
Possibility of territorial troops.
Who would have known that Agen Country would be so reckless this time, and as a result, Donghua Territory was also involved, leaving Li Jianhui quite speechless.
And after this time, the Donghua Association is afraid that it will lose the Argentine market, and even the development of the entire Latin American market may be hindered.
However, the troubles don't end there. A domestic report in the United States and the operations of Wall Street wolves in various stock markets have pushed the global stock market into the abyss.
No matter how stupid Li Jianhui was at this time, he knew that the United States must be behind Argentina's move, and the other party was targeting Britain, or the pound.
In the past two years, the internationalization of the British pound has been extremely rapid. Not only trade within the Commonwealth is settled in British pounds, but intra-EC, ASEAN trade, mutual trade, and trade with Commonwealth countries and regions are also settled in British pounds. In the north, because of the British concessions in Hong Kong,
The main currency is British Pound.
This has led to a substantial increase in the international status of the pound. At the beginning of this year, the European Community adopted the pound for settlement, and the pound surpassed the US dollar and regained the number one spot in the world.
Li Jianhui originally thought that the United States would tolerate it for a year or two, at least until the last leader of the Soviet Union came to power and carried out economic reforms before taking action against Britain. After all, for now, the United States' number one enemy is still the Soviet Union.
It's a pity that Li Jianhui overestimated the patience of the American elites, who were obviously unwilling to let the British climb over them again.
And if you don't take action, it will be a fatal blow. If a country is caught in a war, its currency will obviously not be strong. Coupled with the large amount of short selling in the stock market, the economy will naturally be affected.
On the other hand, Japan, as the second largest economy, announced that its foreign trade will be settled in Japanese yen or US dollars. The US dollar will be Japan's main foreign exchange, and the British pound will be excluded. This is also a big blow to the British pound.
At the same time, the North also announced that due to the impact of the international environment, foreign exchange will decrease in pounds and increase in dollars.
The problem of external attacks is not big yet. The biggest problem is in the European Community. Perhaps the rapid economic recovery and the rapid development of high-tech industries in the UK in recent years have made some countries in Western Europe feel threatened, or some forces are instigating it inside.
alienation.
The central banks of many European Community countries have stated that they will consider issuing a unified European Community currency, while promoting the internationalization of this currency, and have also invited the United Kingdom to join.
This was another heavy blow to the pound. As for giving up the pound and issuing a unified currency together with the European Community, the British had never considered it.
The sharp fall of the pound has also caused considerable losses to countries and regions whose foreign exchange is dominated by the pound, and the stock markets have also been hit hard as a result, including Hong Kong and ASEAN.
For several days, Li Jianhui was not in a good mood. The British troops were already heading towards the Falklands. However, the focus of various forces was not on that, but on the London Stock Exchange.
This is the real center of the battlefield. This time it depends on whether Britain can maintain the pound exchange rate, and more importantly on Britain's diplomatic methods.
Compared with the British pound, the Falkland Islands is just a small problem. If the British pound cannot hold its own this time, then the British pound will never have the chance to suppress the US dollar and regain its glory in the early 20th century.
Bryan and Kesos in Xiangjiang also took active actions. Li Jianhui even received calls from the Queen and Thatcher one after another, inviting him and Chen Yulian to visit London.
Although the situation is somewhat unfavorable to the Xin Jian Clan and the Donghua Association, Britain and the United States are facing each other head-on. This is something Li Jianhui is very willing to see, and his support for the development of Britain over the years will not be in vain.
As long as Britain does not follow the United States wholeheartedly, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Western Europe will not be controlled by the United States, and the Tung Wah Association's industrial development will be more manageable.
Even if the pound cannot hold its own this time, the Donghua Conference will also suffer losses. After this time, the relationship between Britain and the United States will probably decline significantly. Although there will not be a military conflict, trade frictions will occur from time to time.
Various forces in Hong Kong have also held emergency meetings one after another in the past few days. In the past two days, many companies of Sun Hung Club and New Asia Club, which are backed by American capital, have been suppressed by the Bryan government overtly and covertly.
The Far East Club pointed its finger directly at the New Asia Club. This force, backed by the First Citigroup, was under tremendous pressure at this time.
Many public opinions have pointed the finger behind the collapse of the Hong Kong dollar and stock market on Citibank and New Asia Club, which owns Citibank's capital.
Although the members of the New Asia Club feel extremely unjust, it is a pity that public opinion has now fermented, and there are many forces pushing it. In addition, the person in charge of Citibank Xiangjiang has remained silent, so they can only say nothing now.
Under such a situation, at three o'clock in the afternoon on December 31, the Hong Kong Financial Secretary held a Hong Kong Financial Conference.
