Chapter 924 The Meaningless Louvre Agreement

Author: Khurav

"Brother, the Panama War."

"Shh! Go further away before we talk!"

After coming out of the Lewis family farm, Bush just walked in front with his head lowered and his steps hurried.

It wasn't until the two returned to the car and drove a certain distance that Bush waved the driver to get out of the car.

"You were a bit hasty in your actions. You easily attacked those big defense contractors before you were fully prepared. Do you think your life is too comfortable? Not everyone is like those few people just now.

They are all equally easy to talk to.”

"Lewis plans to set up a new company. Its main business is to undertake vocational training, equipment maintenance and the like for the military. The military is facing a transformation. General Powell gave a speech some time ago. After he inspected everything from Florida to Alaska,

After joining the troops, he raised a question: 'Our soldiers and officers are all ready for high-intensity war, but general confusion lingers in the minds of every commander. Who are we going to fight? Where?

Fight? Who is our enemy?'"

"Everyone is mentally building and preparing to start a third all-out war with the Soviet Union. But in fact, this war can no longer be fought! I don't know if you understand the current situation in the Soviet Union."

"I understand a little bit, and I agree with this point of view."

In 1987, there were only four short years left before the disintegration of the Soviet Union. At this time, even if he did not deliberately investigate the Soviet Union, Carter could guess just how bad the current economic situation of the Soviet Union was just by learning a little bit of history.

It can even be said bluntly that the Soviet Union has lost the Cold War by now.

"Well, General Powell, Chief of General Staff General Wycombe, and General Warno who you just met all agree on one point: the future development of the army will inevitably lead to inevitable reductions in military expenditures. At the same time, the scale of the standing armed forces will

It will also be reduced. General Wycombe has previously led the establishment of several light armored divisions. In the future, this kind of organization may become the mainstream norm of the army."

"So, what the senior brother means is that the company that General Lewis plans to build can. On the one hand, it can handle the employment of retired soldiers after the army may be laid off. On the other hand, it can hand over some maintenance work in the base in the form of commercial outsourcing.

Outsiders, serious active-duty soldiers only maintain combat personnel and a small number of administrative personnel to achieve the goal of reducing the establishment and reducing military expenditures."

"You are right. I don't know about other branches of the military, but there is a consensus on this matter within your army. So, I just said that Lewis is short of money, so you come and provide the money! There is no need to think about it.

What interest rates, what repayment issues.”

"Well, I understand! It's an exchange of interests! I cleared part of their profits from the US military stationed in South Korea, but I helped them with their future. I even said that when they realized this problem,

After this future development direction, they may also know in their hearts that the income from the US military base in South Korea may decline in the future, and they may even face the possibility of reshuffling."

Carter nodded and immediately agreed to the matter.

Think about it again along this line of thinking. Panama, as Lao Bu just mentioned, needs to prepare for a war. Don’t worry about whether it can actually be fought. The corresponding reserves of wearing parts, targeted training of soldiers, etc., this is all business!

It’s the green Franklin!

Use the excuse of the Panama War to bring them some business, a two-pronged approach, in exchange for their benefits in letting go of the US military stationed in South Korea.

The whole situation comes alive!

"Have you not thought about your own benefits?"

While Carter was thinking, Old Boo's laughing voice suddenly came to Carter's ears.

"Hahaha, let's not say that they will definitely pay back the money. Even if they really don't pay back, with these connections, am I still afraid that I won't be able to make money? What's more, my brother is now preparing to run for president and handle the relationship with these people.

, if you have their support, your chances of winning will be greater. When you become president, won’t my good days be coming?!”

Carter laughed, he still had some patience.

"It's best if you think so, because at this stage, I really can't take care of you. I hope you can understand."

"Don't worry, I understand everything! I completely understand this too"

After talking about the transfer of interests of defense contractors and the issues in South Korea, when the driver got in the car and started back to Washington, Carter raised another question:

"Brother, I suddenly thought of a question. Why did Mr. Baker suddenly suggest that the U.S. dollar can continue to depreciate recently? The current trade deficit is already huge. If it depreciates further, our lives may be even more difficult. You know, the U.S. dollar in my name

Black Flag Savings Bank has been losing money all the way from 1979 to now, and it will soon be losing money for ten consecutive years!"

"Didn't you ask him? I remember you have his contact information."

"It's not easy for me to ask this question. I don't want to be the stock god on Capitol Hill because of insider trading."

"Capitol Hill Stock God?! Hahaha, that's a good name. The situation here is actually not complicated. I will tell you something, and you may understand it! Have you noticed the change in the Japanese cabinet?"

"Noted that Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone was re-elected, former Tibetan Minister Noboru Takeshita was transferred to the post of Director-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Liberal Democratic Party General Secretary Miyazawa Kiichi took over as Minister of Tibet."

"This is a deal! When the Japanese yen sharply and continuously appreciated, perhaps ordinary people among the public would feel good about it, but those large Japanese companies were very dissatisfied with it. This would have a strong impact on the Japanese Prime Minister.

Election support rate”

"Treasury Secretary Baker then used that to make some sort of deal with them."

Carter thought thoughtfully, what would be the content of this agreement?

It’s impossible to pretend to stop the appreciation of the yen now, and after you finish your selection, don’t stop me from continuing to devalue the U.S. dollar?! Isn’t this just a matter of taking off your pants and farting?! At that stall, Japan has already

There is obviously no ability to prevent the dollar from depreciating!

"Yes! Mr. Baker's request is also very simple. The big Japanese companies are dissatisfied because the appreciation of the yen has reduced the scale of exports and reduced foreign demand. The original agreement reached by Mr. Baker and Noboru Takeshita was that Japan should lower interest rates.

Stimulate domestic demand growth”

"It is precisely because Takeshita Noboru agreed to this condition that the two public statements you saw last year were made. But unfortunately, at the beginning of this year, the annual fiscal budget announced by Japan's Ministry of Finance was obviously a tightening policy. They broke their promises.

Got it!"

Because Japan broke its promise and got fat, so.

No wonder!

When he heard this, Carter already understood why the Japanese yen would appreciate seriously again at such a time point. After a long time, the United States took action again!

If the core of the appreciation of the yen this time is because Japan rejected the conditions of the United States, then
