Chapter 432: , Let the World Pay the Bill

Herbert Walker was furious and now he wanted to kill this is the White House office, what can he do?

Apart from throwing things, there seems to be no better way to vent, right?

Compared to the angry Herbert Walker, Tang Dake, who was far away in New York, was extremely excited at this time.

Why?

He is now competing with two other Donkey Party candidates, Albert Gore and William Jefferson. If he can defeat these two, he will be able to compete with Herbert Walker.

Yes, competing on the same stage.

Compete for the final squad leader position.

Dukaki is an old man and not very competitive. On the contrary, William Jefferson, who is the same age as him, is the most threatening guy in Tang Dake's opinion.

After taking a quick look at William Jefferson's resume, Tang Dake would feel desperate.

William Jefferson was born in Hope, Arkansas, and entered Georgetown University in 1964, majoring in diplomacy.

While in college he served as student body president and assisted at the Federal Hospital working for William Leibster.

In 1973, he graduated from Yale University with a . and became a professor at Arkansas State University in the same year.

He served as governor of Arkansas for five consecutive terms from 1978 to 1992, with remarkable achievements.

With such a resume, how can Tang Dake compare with others?

He is born to do this job, but Comrade Tang Dake, apart from being young and promising, does not seem to have any outstanding features in other aspects.

You can't tell people that he has been decadent for many years, right?

But no matter how desperate he is, he will face the challenge head-on. How could he, a wealthy young man from New York, compromise and admit defeat?

Since you don't want to admit defeat, you have to work hard and try to defeat that bastard classmate William Jefferson.

Recently, someone in his team actually found a point of attack, which is to attack William Jefferson as a playboy who was multi-timing.

Although this kind of color news may not work, why not try it?

After finding the attack point, Tang Dake was of course happy.

He used his Internet verified account to personally discredit William Jefferson.

Chen Guohua, who was far away in Beijing, laughed like crazy when he saw the news.

“Hahahahahaha, he really is worthy of being the awesome wealthy young man from New York. This method is awesome!”

Song Xuyan didn't quite understand Chen Guohua's sense of humor, but he did understand one thing, which is that the more chaotic things are in Washington, the better.

why?

Because the collapse of the Moscow alliance empire is a foregone conclusion, and after Washington defeated Moscow, it no longer has any rivals.

No, to be precise, there is another opponent.

Long before the third oil crisis, or even before that, Washington had already wanted to take action against the capital.

In 1949, Stone, who was supported by Washington, was defeated and fled to the Taiwan Strait, leaving his weapons and armor behind.

And then came the Peninsular War.

The reason why Washington united with Great Britain and other countries and regions to launch the Peninsula War was nothing more than to strangle a certain Eastern power in its cradle.

This will in turn hinder Moscow's development in the Far East.

The results are obvious: Washington failed and wasted a lot of money.

Throughout the 1950s, Washington was always looking for opportunities to start another fight in order to maintain his military authority as the world's superpower.

But it was not until the 1960s that something happened in Haizhou City, and Washington seized the opportunity to dispatch troops to Haizhou City.

At that time, Moscow supported the city of Haizhou in the north, while Washington wanted to help Ho Chi Minh in the south to work together to take down the city of Haizhou in the north.

It is obvious that this battle of Haizhou City directly destroyed Washington's money.

After more than ten years of war, Washington's purse is empty.

How to do it?

This is what Washington did at the time: printing more dollars and over-issuing banknotes. Anyway, there was the Bretton Woods system, and global trade was settled in US dollars, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

In other words, by doing this, Washington is making Europe, Tokyo and other parts of the world pay for the debt of over-issued US dollars.

So can they agree?

This is definitely not possible!

At the beginning, it was only a few billion US dollars and no one had noticed it yet, but the battle of Haizhou City continued, and Washington had no money, so it could only print more dollars.

This is why California conglomerates grew rapidly after World War II.

The Peninsular War and the Battle of Haizhou City made the California consortium, which was mainly composed of military-industrial enterprises such as Lockheed Martin, Litton Industries, and Northrop Corporation, earn a lot of money.

Washington wants the world to pay for the extra printed dollars, but Europe and other regions will certainly not agree to it.

So, they directly pulled all the US dollars back to North America, exchanged the US dollars for gold, and then brought the gold back to their own country.

According to the Bretton Woods system, the . dollar and gold were pegged and convertible.

Therefore, countries and regions such as Europe and Tokyo can completely exchange the over-issued US dollars in Washington into gold and then bring it back.

Throughout the 1960s, Washington was flooding the market with money, printing more than one trillion dollars, resulting in them not having enough gold to exchange for it.

There are too many US dollars in this big pool of the world. Everyone ships the US dollars to North America, exchanges them for gold, and then takes them back.

This is why in the early 1970s, Washington unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the Bretton Woods system.

Because their Federal Reserve does not have that much gold to exchange for everyone, Washington simply chose to withdraw from the group and stop playing.

So why did Washington cooperate with Beijing in the 1970s?

The most important reason is that Washington was being held back in Haizhou City and had no way to compete with Moscow.

Although in 1969, the Washington Aeronautics Bureau achieved a curve overtaking and landed on the moon ahead of Moscow.

But we should not forget that in the 1960s, Moscow developed very rapidly, and Brezhnev was at the peak of his power in the Kremlin at that time.

Chen Guohua was well aware of the fact that the overbearing and tyrannical Brezhnev wanted to take over the capital.

After all, Brezhnev sent people to the capital many times to assassinate him.

Therefore, facing the rising power of Moscow, Washington at the time had no other choice but to choose to unite with the capital in order to delay Moscow.

A major event occurred in 1978, which was the start of reform and opening up in the country.

But in fact, there is another important thing, which is to cooperate closely with Washington.

In order to show our sincerity, the next year we beat up the monkey that was roaring so loudly in Haizhou City.

Almost killed the monkey.

However, the honeymoon cooperation in the 1980s was followed by Washington's successful conspiracy in Moscow.

In this way, Washington will be invincible in the world.

At this time, they certainly set their sights on Chen Guohua, Song Xuyan, Wang Dingzuo and others. But before they could act, war broke out in the Middle East and the third oil crisis occurred.

So Washington had to launch the Gulf War.

After the Gulf War ended, the world situation changed again.

That is the total collapse of the Tokyo stock and property markets, the global economic crisis, the increasingly obvious collapse of the Moscow Alliance, and the massive outflow of wealth.

Under such circumstances, Herbert Walker and his men were facing a general election, and they also needed to keep a close eye on Moscow. They wanted to make more wealth from Moscow, but they also had to be wary of the capital.

As a result, Herbert Walker almost died of heart failure.

There are so many things to deal with, there are just too many.

The current situation is that Herbert Walker has not yet started to confront Tang Dake, otherwise, he would be even more frustrated.

Song Xuyan knew that Washington was in a particularly chaotic situation right now, and that was enough.

Chen Guohua did not pay too much attention to these things. Anyway, Herbert Walker, who was busy with the election and getting money from Moscow, would not target the domestic situation at this time.

So there is nothing to worry or be concerned about.

"Old Chen, when are you planning to return to the capital? You've been here for nearly a month, right?"

"There's nothing going on in Beijing right now. The most important thing right now is the Northwest. I still need to work on scientific research projects. There are quite a few projects here, which waste a lot of my time every day."

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Song Xuyan couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"You mean wasting time? Running around? If I'm not paying attention, are you going to run off to Lake Baikal?"

"Speaking of Lake Baikal, what do you think about us going there to fish?" Chen Guohua suddenly asked.

Song Xuyan said unhappily:

"Don't even think about it. You know how chaotic Moscow is right now. If we run over there now, won't we just cause more trouble?"

After a pause, he continued:

"Besides, didn't you say you wouldn't go abroad? Why are you thinking about going abroad now? Even if you want to go fishing, there are so many big rivers and lakes in China, aren't there enough for you to fish?"

"Could it be that you have fallen in love with fishing since you came to Chang'e Town this time?"

What can Chen Guohua say about this issue?

It's because they are coveting the freshwater and fishery resources at Lake Baikal.

"Of course it's not enough. You know Lake Baikal. That place originally belonged to us. Otherwise..."

Chen Guohua did not continue to say the following words, but his meaning was very clear.

How could Song Xuyan not know this?

It’s a pity that the place doesn’t belong to us now, but to someone else.

"But I still want to go fishing there. If that doesn't work, I'll go fishing in the Yangtze River or somewhere else."

"I especially hope that Chang'e Town can have a stable water source and build more reservoirs so that we can raise more fish in them."

"In the future, these reservoirs will also be able to help coordinate floods, droughts and other disasters in Chang'e Town."

Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Song Xuyan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Do you think there will be another flood in Chang'e Town this year?"

Where is Chang'e Town?

That is located at the foot of the Altun Mountains in the northwest, which is a very dry place.

Logically speaking, there should be no floods or waterlogging disasters, but there are snow-capped mountains in this place.

During the hot summer, the melting snow in the mountains forms a huge torrent that rushes down the mountains and spreads around the Chang'e Town.

If adjustments are not made in time, flood disasters will really occur.

In the past, who cared whether there was a flood?

But now Chang'e Town has gradually become a small county town, and its resident population is almost over 100,000.

Therefore, it is natural to pay attention to floods and droughts in this area.

"Not necessarily, but building more reservoirs, even if they are not used to regulate floods, can't they provide water resources for Chang'e Town during droughts?"

Chen Guohua said with a smile, but Song Xuyan spread his hands:

"It's relatively easy to build a reservoir, but the question is how to mobilize more water resources?"

In response, Chen Guohua remained silent and did not answer the other party's questions.

Chang'e Town is either backed by mountains several thousand meters high or the endless Taklimakan Desert. Where can it draw water from?

The entire Taklamakan Desert is short of water, and there are not many oases.

What about groundwater?

How much groundwater is there?

But that's not necessarily the case. After all, over the years, so much melted snow from the mountains has flowed down and disappeared in the desert area of ​​Chang'e Town.

So, there may not necessarily be groundwater.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Song Xuyan suddenly called Chen Guohua to go fishing together.

"Come on, I'll take you to a place and let's go fishing together."

"real or fake?"

Chen Guohua was quite surprised. Why did the other party suddenly want to go fishing?

How strange!

However, no matter how strange it was, Chen Guohua still got on the plane.

When the plane flew directly to the vicinity of the Three Gorges, Chen Guohua finally understood why the other party brought him here.

The relocation work at the Three Gorges has been completed, and the construction work downstream is almost finished.

You know, the entire Three Gorges Dam hydropower station was started in 1986, and it has been almost five years now.

Five years is not a short time, and it is enough time to accomplish a lot of things.

Even though water storage has not started yet, it is still possible to catch big fish here given the amount of water in the Yangtze River.

"The place we chose is definitely the best fishing spot. Old Chen, look, aren't there a lot of people fishing over there? These are the fishermen nearby."

Song Xuyan stood by the Yangtze River, pointed at the water ahead, and said to Chen Guohua with a faint smile.

The latter nodded and said, you know what, this is the best fishing spot.

But from the current perspective, I am afraid there are not many large cargoes in this area.

Because this is a good place, how could the nearby fishermen not know about it?

So they must come here to fish often. At this time, Chen Guohua and Song Xuyan also come here to fish. Unless they are lucky, it is still a question whether they can catch fish.

While Chen Guohua and his friends were leisurely fishing for big fish, Sergeyevich, who was far away in Moscow, had completely given up. (End of this chapter)
