Chapter 769 Reagan's Five-Step Plan
"I know that you may not believe me just saying this, so I will tell you something important. Remember, Niam, what I said below is the words that cannot be leaked."
Seeing the boss's face solemn, Niam nodded heavily. Although he agreed with what the boss said just now, he still couldn't think of any way to make the red giant fall down.
Yang Jing fiddled with the notebook on the desktop, "This notebook represents the red giant, so first of all, we can be sure that although this giant is still very powerful on the surface, there are actually many internal problems. For example, the country's economy has shown signs of obvious recession; and, on the surface, although the country's currency is very strong, the official exchange rate of the ruble against the US dollar has even remained at a high of 0.6:1, but in fact, the ruble is now in a depreciation state, otherwise the black market
There will be no situation of one dollar for twelve rubles on the ground, which is enough to prove that the ruble is in a process of rapid depreciation; and we cannot deny that the country's financial market is actually very chaotic and its foreign exchange reserves are very poor! The most important thing is that the consequences of a single ruling party's long-term rule have been revealed now. The government of the Red Giant now reveals a kind of decay from the inside out. The situation of greed/pollution/corruption/corruption is already common in this country, and the people are now very uncomfortable."
"Niam, you know that red giant very well, so why don't you say what I'm saying right?"
"Yes, BOSS you said very well. But just this is probably not going to make this giant fall down, right?"
"Haha, what if I tell you that the current situation of the red giant is the result of someone silently pushing it behind the scenes?"
"Ah? This is the result of someone pushing behind the scenes? This, isn't it possible?"
"Why is it impossible? In fact, the most critical reason for the current situation of the Red Giant is that it comes from himself, but if no one is pushing it out in a targeted manner, it may take another twenty or thirty years to see the current situation. Of course, if a strong enough leader appears in the red country ten years later, then that kind of red panic may always be overwhelmed by the heads of the Western world." As he said this, a big man with a high hairline appeared in Yang Jing's mind. In the future, it was this big man who led the riddled hair bear to rise again.
But now, that person is just a small character...
After pulling back the slightly distracted mind, Yang Jing continued: "The Red Giant has implemented a planned economy for decades, which gave them huge national energy around the world before and after World War II. But now it is a peaceful time, this simple planned economy no longer conforms to the laws of economic development. But their government did not realize this, or even if it was aware of this, it was unwilling to make changes. This caused the outbreak of various contradictions. In this case, our inaugural president keenly seized this opportunity, formulated a series of measures and plans, and prepared to start dismembering the Red Giant in a more clever way."
"Our current goal is no longer to coexist with the Soviet Union, but to change the Soviet system."
"We are fully capable of using external pressure to change the Soviet system."
"It was the American goal to shake the Soviet system by exploiting weaknesses within the Soviet Union."
"You must have heard of these three sentences? The former was said by President Reagan, the second sentence was said by President Reagan's assistant to national security and Secretary of Defense Weinberg. As for the third sentence, it was said by former CIA Director William Casey."
"Yes, boss, I've heard all these words."
"Haha, there is no need to say about President Reagan. The remaining two were also great figures in the past few years. Since they said that, they would definitely complete what they said. Therefore, with their efforts, the Federation has now found several powerful 'alliers' within the red giant. Yakovlev, Ye Liqin and even the maphurd, probably have unconsciously become the 'alliers' of the Federation!"
Hearing this, Niam opened his mouth wide in shock and couldn't even speak. The names of the people the boss said were too shocking. These three people are currently the most famous figures in the red country. How could they become allies of the Federation?
"Haha, Niam, you don't have to be so surprised. You may think the word "alliance" I use is inappropriate, but what I can tell you is that although these people are not real allies, what they are doing now is actually no different from the hardest allies! And the reason for this is that our President Reagan has silently promoted it over the years."
"The opposition to the Red Giants in Eastern Europe, the Afghanistan War, the Polish crisis, and the famous Star Wars plan, are all targeted strategies made by the Federation against the Red Giants. I don't need to explain these, right?"
Niam nodded silently. He could clearly understand the major events that happened to the red giant over the past decade. If the federal government had not taken action behind the scenes, the red giant would not have fallen to such a difficult point today.
"Behind this series of plans, there is a general plan name, the code name of this plan is called 'NSDD-75'. The NSDD-75 plan mainly attacks the red giant at the national level, while another plan codenamed NSDD-66 that cooperates with this plan is to attack the red giant from the economic level. The plan's plan is Henry Ron, the Soviet economic adviser of Reagan."
"In order to dismember the red giant economically, over the past decade, the federal government has implemented the NSDD-66 plan in five steps. The first step is to block the export of oil and gas resources from the Soviet Union! We all know that in 1979, the Soviet Union signed an agreement with Western Europe to provide natural gas to Western Europe, which could bring 32 billion US dollars of foreign exchange every year. So in 1981, President Reagan ordered the blockade of all oil exploration technologies against the Soviet Union because the Soviet Union did not have independent oil exploration technology. This move caused almost all new oil exploration in the Soviet Union to stop the Soviet Union and could no longer increase oil revenue. At the same time, President Reagan ultimatum to Western Europe that natural gas pipelines must be blocked and any opportunity for the Soviet Union to earn US dollar foreign exchange."
Niam nodded. Of course he knew about this. At that time, President Reagan had just come to power and proposed to implement such a policy against the Soviets, which almost triggered a war between the two countries. However, President Reagan insisted on this policy very strongly, and the Soviets had to pinch their noses and recognize the sucker.
"The second step is to loans to the Soviets. We know that before President Reagan came to power, the loan interest rate that the Soviet Union enjoyed from Europe, especially Western European countries was very favorable. After all, the horror of the Red Giant is not a joke. The European countries were afraid that the steel torrent of the Red Giant once again swept Europe, so they could only pinch their noses and keep allowing the Soviets to enjoy this preferential loan interest rate."
"But after President Reagan came to power, in 1982, President Reagan directly threatened Europe that if the loan interest rate to the Soviet Union was not raised to 17%, European banks would not be allowed to do business with American banks. In the face of President Reagan's toughness, Europe, especially those Western European countries surrendered, and they raised the loan interest rate to the Soviet Union overnight, completely cutting off any channels for financing from the Soviet Union."
Of course, Niam also knew about this. For that matter, the Red Giant almost issued a war alarm to Western European countries, but because of the financial power, the red giant had to surrender even if it roared so hard.
There is no way. World War II has almost forty years. These days, it is not just a torrent of mushroom bullets and steel. Nowadays, as long as you fight, you will be money! The red giant is very clear about his family’s background. What can he use to fight with others if he doesn’t have money?
In the end, even the red giant can only talk to Western European countries...
"If President Reagan's first two steps are directly facing the red giant, then the next two steps are targeting the Soviets from the side. President Reagan's third step is to attack the Soviets from the oil side!"
"Niam, you should know that the largest foreign exchange export project of the Soviets was oil and natural gas. The Soviets' natural gas exports from Western Europe have been completely blocked by President Reagan, so President Reagan will take action on another Soviet export-making project, oil. We all know that once international oil prices rise, it will be a great thing for the Soviets. On the contrary, the Soviets will be in trouble. So under such circumstances, in 1985, President Reagan gave a note to Saudi King Fahd.
, demanding it to expand oil production. Saudi Arabia itself is our hardcore brother. Coupled with President Reagan's tough attitude, even Saudi Arabia dared not reject President Reagan's completely unreasonable demand. Therefore, after Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries expanded oil output, international crude oil prices quickly dropped from more than 30 US dollars per barrel at that time to twelve US dollars per barrel. The sharp drop in international oil prices immediately hit the Soviet Union's oil exports, reducing oil exports by at least 10 billion US dollars per year."
"Then, taking advantage of the Soviets' foreign exchange being reduced and less, President Reagan implemented the fourth step, which was to devalue the only US$20 billion foreign exchange reserves that the Soviets had! To this end, President Reagan devalued the US dollar by 25% with the help of the square agreement, which directly reduced the purchasing power of the US dollar's only US$20 billion foreign exchange reserves to a level of only US$15 billion! In addition, in the past few years, it happened that the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and the people in Washington supported the Afghans behind their backs, and directly dragged the Soviets into the quagmire of Afghanistan and could not escape. Until last year, the Soviets withdrew troops from Afghanistan in shame, but that war became an unbearable harm for the Soviets!"
