Chapter 770 The Vantaa Project

"Leo Wanta?" Niam asked in surprise. Yang Jing could see from his expression that this big man who is also famous in the American financial industry did not seem to know Leo Wanta.

So Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's Leo Wanta. It's normal for you not know him or have never heard of this person, because only a few senior officials in Washington know this person at present. Now this person is carrying a very huge financial trap set up by President Reagan and President Bush. As long as the red giant step into this trap, the red giant will completely fall."

Yang Jing's words made Niam gasp. Of course, he knew how much weight the two presidents valued, let alone, whether it was President Reagan or President Bush, he would hand over the final step of dismembering the red giant to this stranger to operate, which was enough to prove how powerful this person was.

Anyway, Niam thinks he will never have such ability, and he will never let both presidents take it seriously.

Looking at Niam's expression of disbelief and shock, Yang Jing could only slowly shake his head.

Of course he would not explain to Niam what kind of feat that Rio Wanta did that shocked the world and the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it was this American who looked harmless with a pair of myopic glasses, who looked harmless, who pushed the red giant who had been standing in the West for more than 70 years into the abyss that would never be restored.

Of course, one of the most important reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union came from the Soviet Union itself, and the other was from Ronald Reagan. These two reasons ultimately caused the Soviet Union's dilemma in the 1980s and early 1990s. Leo Wanta just pushed the red giant behind the abyss, and then made the giant fall down.

But it has to be said that if Wanta had not formulated that series of financial plans and received full support from the entire United States and Western European countries, the red giant would not have fallen so easily.

In fact, there is a lot of information about Leo Wanta and the famous "Wanta Plan". Yang Jing also learned about it from the original time and space. Yang Jing was also very clear that these information was more correct than information. After all, the fact that the Western world subverted the Soviet Union was even in the United States, even if it was placed in the United States, it was a top-secret file. It would be impossible to decrypt it if it didn't take decades.

However, there are many capable people in this world. These capable people slowly infer some results based on a series of things that happened back then. In the end, all of these things were summarized on Wanta, and the Wanta myth was directly described.

For example, Wanta's true identity was President Reagan's most trusted financial war expert at that time. He was an agent and senior official of the US Treasury Department, the CIA, and the FBI. In the 1980s, Wanta was directly ordered by President Reagan to engage in a secret financial war aimed at subverting the Soviet ruble. He established the "New Republic Financial Group" in Wisconsin, USA. The company's operating capital was only $17,000, but soon after the capital injected from the secret overseas account of the United States, Wanta's business grew bigger and bigger.

Legend, this is just a legend. In October 1990, Wanta bribed some Soviet officials with a lot of money, and then used a price of several dozen times lower than the official exchange rate to buy 140 billion rubles for 5 billion US dollars.

You should know that at this time, the official exchange rate of the US dollar to the ruble remains at about 0.6 rubles for 1 dollar, and the official value of the ruble is far higher than that of the US dollar, which is comparable to the British pound.

Although at this time, because the economic situation in the Soviet Union was very difficult, 1 US dollar could even be exchanged for 12 rubles on the Soviet black market, Wanta actually exchanged 140 billion rubles at a ratio of 1:28. If there is no trick in this, it would be strange.

As a result, after Wanta exchanged these rubles, he held it in his hand for a year, and then began to sell rubles in the international market in October 1991, causing the ruble to plummet. Some international hot money and some hedge funds supported by Western countries took the opportunity to suppress the ruble's exchange rate, which eventually led to the ruble's official exchange rate plummeting three times in just a few days, from 1:0.6 to 1:1.8.

The official exchange rate of rubles was a joke at that time. In the black market in the Soviet Union, because of this plunge, one dollar could even be exchanged for fifty or sixty rubles!

Before selling the ruble, Wanta shorted London gold in the London gold market in January and February 1991. After all, one of the main methods used by the Soviet Union to exchange foreign exchange was oil and natural gas, and the other was gold. But President Reagan had already killed the Soviet Union's oil and natural gas. Now Wanta is attacking gold, the only foreign exchange pillar of the Soviet Union. The plunge in international gold prices and the sharp depreciation of the ruble eventually made the red giant, who was worried about internal and external troubles, unable to hold on anymore and fell down...

In other words, if the entire Wanta plan is divided into two parts, Leo Wanta suppressed the ruble exchange rate and shorted gold, which is the first part. And when Leo Wanta finished the first part, it was really a problem in the Soviet Union. In the end, the red giant fell to the ground!

If the Wanta Plan only has the first part, it will definitely be called an "extremely powerful" plan. After all, just this part has knocked down the Red Giant. Let me ask, who in the world can do this?

But in later generations, the Wanta Plan was called "the most evil, most charming but also the most lethal financial plan" by many people, and was even known as the "Second Marshall Plan", which can not be achieved by just this first part.

The truly evil, exciting and cruel part of Wanta's plan lies in its second part.

If the first part of the Wanta Plan led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, then the second part is how to use hundreds of millions of dollars to completely disintegrate the fallen red giant, and completely empty the wealth of $27.5 trillion that originally belonged to the red giant!

For Wanta's plan, the previous rouble plummeted was far from enough. If we want to empty all the wealth accumulated by the Soviet Union over the past 70 years, it is obviously not enough to just devalue the ruble to one dollar to fifty or sixty rubles. Wanta needs to do more ruthlessly!

However, although he also formulated the second part of the plan and started to be implemented a long time ago, Wanta did not enjoy the honor and benefits brought to him by the second plan. He was arrested by the United States federal government before he saw that the second part of the plan was about to be perfectly implemented, and he was arrested in prison for more than 20 years...
