Chapter 185 We Are Alone
Speaking of being shameless and playing rogue, no one is an opponent of a country.

When the President and his staff decided to sacrifice the interests of some ordinary people, no one could change this decision, and it was a hasty decision, because the Baylor Federation was not as perfect as they imagined.

The economic and financial development behavior of this country has long been distorted. This is not an unshakable high-rise building, it is just a high-rise building built on a terrible balance beam. As long as there is a slight accident, it can collapse in an instant.

Many middle-class people are locked up because they bought a large amount of bonds. Coupled with the constant evasion of the president's cabinet, even if they sacrificed a few scapegoats, they could not solve any substantive problems, and this contradiction intensified.

Immediately afterwards, on October [-]th, an article titled "We Are Isolated and Helpless" was published. The article accused the president's cabinet of making wrong decisions since they came to power, including the isolation policy they relied on when they came to power. It is also the most failed policy ever.

The article exposes all the hidden contradictions and conflicts of the current federation, and uses the failure of the bond as an introduction to describe the most authentic current status of the federation in the international community.

Just like the title of this article, the Baylor Federation is isolated and helpless in the international community. The seemingly powerful federal government faces some obvious rogue behaviors.

In this article, the Baylor Federation is already on the verge of collapse, the accumulation of class contradictions, social contradictions, contradictions between capitalists and politicians, contradictions in education and medical care, it is like a leaky battleship, Soon it will sink.

On the second day after this article was published, the Federal Industrial Index ushered in its first sharp drop after seven years of uninterrupted gains, falling by more than 5.00% in just one morning.

A report uncovered the bloody reality that people wanted to hide, something XZ couldn't hold back!
This has also exacerbated the flight of foreign capital. A large number of international hot money has realized that the bonus period of the federation has ended, and keeping the money in the federation can only sink with the federation.

These international hot money who have never had a position or camp left without hesitation, and the trading volume of the stock market fluctuated abnormally. On October [-], the Federal Industrial Index rose again, and almost all newspapers and media gave positive comments. summary.

The slump on October [-] was just a technical adjustment, just to accumulate energy for climbing new highs. Some experts even used springs as prototypes on TV to tell everyone why the decline is the accumulation of energy for the rise, and explained why the decline can release more energy. Lots of upside.

In the next few days, the stock market seemed to be stable and rising steadily, as the experts said, but brokerage firms and financial companies were quietly closing their hands.

The trading volume, which is far more than twice the usual amount, is deliberately regarded by some people as the arrival of a new round of the market, but they do not know that there is actually a huge crisis hidden in it.

Even some things in reality have changed. For example, housing prices in first-tier federal cities have begun to decline generally, even supporting long-term installment payments, and banks' lending rates for mortgage loans have also begun to tighten.

Everything seemed to be getting better. Just when people were confused and didn't know who to believe, at the end of October, the Federal Industrial Index once again experienced the largest single-day decline of [-]% in history.

Only this time, no one laughed and told everyone that it was just a "technical adjustment".

On the last Saturday in October, Lynch just woke up. He sat on the edge of the restaurant and looked at the newspaper in his hand. The newspaper, which was supposed to be colored, seemed to have returned to a time when technology was not developed enough a few hundred or hundreds of years ago. Only black monochrome printing.

The first edition of the Exchange had only one word, which took up the entire page, and that was "catastrophe."

In just one day, the entire federal trading market evaporated tens of billions of funds, and every exchange was overcrowded. Even the bond rights protection groups that have attracted much attention, no one has the mood to care for them.

People are talking about stocks, because the Federal Industrial Index plummeted twice in a month, which is very abnormal. This has never happened before, let alone the last plunge, many stocks directly lost a third or even half of their market value.

This kind of decline is no longer as simple as a technical adjustment. What it adjusts is not parameters, not prices, but human lives.

An uncontrollable panic began to spread rapidly. Not only the "Trader", but almost all financial-related newspapers changed their usual colorful printing style into black and white and heavy tones. They seemed to be mourning what.

In fact, reporting such pessimistic news at this time not only does not help the financial market, but will directly burst the bubble.

Once panic selling is formed, it will be difficult to stop unless there is national power to take over, but it is clear that the federal government does not have the financial power to take over for the entire society.

Even if they did, they wouldn't do it, and if the Conservatives bankrupt the federal government, then they will surely become a joke in history - the first party and their president to bankrupt the federal government.

Thinking about it makes people shudder. Instead of becoming a joke, they will only choose to ignore it.

Looking at the news, Lynch was very calm and calm. He hadn't touched these things for a while, and he knew very well that these things were destined to be shattered. External forces were only part of the factor, and there were many problems within the Federation itself.

Of course, the most deadly is the isolation policy promoted by the Conservative Party government, which directly blocked international trade. In fact, you can see it from history.

Today's powerful countries in the world, barely counted as the Federation, actually first made their fortunes in the Age of Discovery, and that era didn't pay much attention to isolationism.

Any country that pursues isolationism can only become weaker and weaker. On the contrary, those countries that are actively engaging with the international community and constantly expanding and plundering are getting stronger and stronger.

Unexpectedly, more than 100 years later, under the leadership of the Conservative Party, a group of soft bastards who are afraid of war actually reversed the history. exposure to the outside world.

However, this cannot be regarded as a bad thing at all. At least this disaster has woken up the Federation, and some things will become easier to operate.

When Lynch was still having breakfast, Ferrara hurried over, just like Lynch thought, he was here to inquire about something related to the financial market, and he thought Lynch would be more familiar with this aspect, There will also be a more mature view, which is the impression Lynch gives to others.

"Breakfast for Mr. Ferrara..." After Ferrara explained the purpose of coming, Lynch asked the maid to get another breakfast, and at the same time closed the newspaper and put it away, "These things are actually It has nothing to do with us."

His first sentence affirmed a tone, "There are only two listed companies in Sabine City, one of which has completed delisting, and the other one will go bankrupt soon even if they don't experience this stock market crash. "

"The only people who will be really affected are those who have made heavy bets in the stock and securities market. These people will lose their money. If they use credit loans, the situation may be even worse, but these people only occupy the majority of society. few."

Ferrara looked sad, "If most of the residents in the entire city are bankrupt, even if the President's cabinet assists us with some financial allocations, we will not be able to afford the needs of the entire city."

Lynch smiled slightly, "You imagine things are too complicated. When things are enough to make people desperate, people's only need is to 'live'."

"No matter whether those people lived in big houses and drove luxury cars or not, after they go bankrupt, they have to go to receive relief food like ordinary people. Just add some flour to the food."

He paused as he said, "Actually, I think that when you find it difficult to afford, turning solid food into liquid food can meet more food needs without increasing new investment."

"Moreover, hunger contributes to the relative stability of the bottom society!"

When people are so hungry that they don't have the energy to do bad things, law and order will naturally stabilize, and there is nothing wrong with saying that.

Ferrara shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't know what to say. Sometimes Lynch said these words calmly and rationally, not like what a young man should say, but he had to deny that he was right.

When external conditions do not allow, people's requirements will be reduced to as simple as "survive".

The maid delivered a rich breakfast at this time, and Ferrara began to enjoy the rich breakfast after thanking him. He had just eaten a few mouthfuls, and Lynch suddenly asked, "The article "We Are Alone and Helpless", Is it from the Progressive Party?"

Ferrara suddenly stopped eating, and he said with a smile, "Of course not, we won't do such a stupid thing. It's not a good thing for anyone."

Lynch looked at him with a smile. Under Lynch's stare, Ferrara gradually became overwhelmed. Lynch's gaze was very firm and certain, which made Ferrara lose most of his appetite at once.

He was silent for a while before he took out his cigarette and lit one, "The high-level decision, they just informed us."

After getting confirmation, Lynch nodded and said with a smile, "This is politics."

Ferrara seemed to feel more meaning from this sentence, and he also sighed and said, "This is politics!"
