The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

After Germany proposed to ship back 1,900 tons of gold stored in the United States, which was rejected by the United States, and the two sides were still engaged in a war of words, Argentina proposed to ship back 50 tons of gold stored in the United States, which was flatly rejected by Barack, who also claimed that Armando Mayora could not represent Argentina.

How could this not make the world uproar!

Armando Mayora is the president of Argentina, the democratically elected president of Argentina. His approval rating in Argentina has never been lower than 70%. He is called "Argentine hero" and "Son of Argentina" and is supported by people from all walks of life in Argentina.

Now Barack actually said that Armando Mayora cannot represent Argentina!

If even Armando Mayora, the democratically elected president of Argentina, cannot represent Argentina, who can represent Argentina?

Is it really as Barack said that the one who can represent Argentina is decided by the US court?

This is simply outrageous!

This further aroused concerns around the world. Is the gold stored by various countries in the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, USA really safe? Did the United States touch this gold and secretly sell the gold stored by various countries in the United States?

You should know that the gold stored in the United States by countries around the world is as much as more than 7,000 tons, which is a huge amount of wealth.

Although the currencies of countries around the world are no longer based on the gold standard, but adopt the national credit system and use national credit as endorsement.

However, gold is still a major guarantee for the value of currencies of various countries and an important manifestation of a country's wealth.

If these countries are lost, the currencies of many countries will depreciate significantly, and even the paper money of many countries will not be as good as paper.

The whole world is discussing, if the United States really touches the gold stored in the United States, what can everyone do?

The result that makes the whole world terrified is that countries have no way at all.

Except for two countries in the world, other countries are far from being comparable to the United States in terms of economy, military or other aspects.

And these two countries do not store gold in the United States.

If the United States plays rogue, these countries that store gold in the United States will have no way to deal with the United States.

The world's concerns about the safety of gold stored in the United States quickly affected the international market.

The depreciation rate of the US dollar has accelerated sharply, and the price of gold in the international market has risen rapidly.

The price of American commodities is rising rapidly, and the inflation rate has risen again.

In order to regain the confidence of the market, Barack made a state visit to Germany after arriving in Germany, intending to persuade Germany to give up shipping back the gold stored in the United States.

However, Merkel's attitude was very tough. She said that Germany had indisputable sovereignty over the 1,900 tons of gold and could deal with the gold at will.

Faced with Merkel's tough attitude, Barack had to compromise and agreed to Germany to ship back the 1,900 tons of gold, but Barack gave a deadline, that is, Germany would ship back the 1,900 tons of gold in batches over ten years.

In other words, Germany can ship back 190 tons of gold from the United States every year.

Then it was asked that Germany help the United States say good things.

Although the United States has always wanted to devalue the dollar, this is a slow devaluation, so that the United States can print more dollars.

In this way, although the dollar is depreciating, other currencies are depreciating more. In this way, the dollar is printed more, but the domestic inflation in the United States will not be too obvious.

As for the rapid depreciation, this is not what the United States wants.

Because of this high inflation, the perception of the American people is very obvious.

Merkel weighed the pros and cons and finally agreed to the American conditions.

After all, the most urgent task is to be able to transport the gold back to Germany.

But even if Germany and the United States reached an agreement and the media promoted it, the discussion about whether it is safe to store gold in the United States has not stopped, and the concerns have not been eliminated.

Because compared with Germany, everyone is worried about whether they will encounter what Argentina encountered.

No matter what, Germany is one of the major European countries, the largest economy in the European Union, and the locomotive of the European Union economy.

And they are not much stronger than Argentina, and even most of their military strength is not as good as Argentina.

This can be seen from the sharp depreciation of the currencies of many countries.

Because for these countries, the gold they keep in the United States accounts for half or even more of their country's gold reserves.

Originally, it was in the world economic crisis, and the world economy is becoming more turbulent at this time.

Especially countries close to the United States have suffered the most trauma in this world economic crisis.

Because many of these countries are resource-based countries that export resources to the United States.

In South America, because the United States openly supported Britain's Second Falklands War against Argentina, South American countries have successively expressed their support for Argentina and will give Argentina support, including military support.

Venezuela's Chavez said that South America belongs to the South American people, not to the United States and Britain. South America is unprecedentedly united at this moment.

In order to show support for Argentina, Chavez held a grand military parade in Venezuela, which was the grandest military parade held since Chavez took charge of Venezuela.

A total of 100,000 active troops and 50,000 reserve soldiers participated in the parade, as well as 1,000 armored vehicles, 400 tanks, 100 fighter jets, 50 helicopters and 500 military horses.

After Chavez took over Venezuela, he not only nationalized oil, but also increased military investment and built a modern army as Venezuela's fiscal revenue increased significantly in recent years.

As early as a few years ago, Chavez proudly announced that the Venezuelan army had achieved mechanization and was a powerful mechanized force.

Following Chavez, it was Colombia. The situation in Colombia was similar to that in Venezuela, and it was also an anti-American front.

Colombia and Venezuela are both under tremendous pressure from the United States. The United States regards them as a thorn in the eye. Their presidents are regarded as dictators by the United States and are assassinated every year.

They know the truth that the lips and teeth are cold better than anyone else.

So they have been pushing the South American Union to allow South American countries to become truly independent sovereign states in fact, so that everyone can cooperate instead of being controlled by the United States.

The most widely circulated saying in South America is: too far from heaven, too far from the United States!

Every economic crisis in South America has been clearly analyzed by South American scholars. It is the United States that is harvesting South America. The United States is the biggest obstacle to the prosperity of South American countries and the biggest vampire lying on South American countries.

It is said that learning from the American democratic and free system can make it prosperous and strong, but in the past, South American countries all implemented the American system, but no country has been good.

South America has lived a good life in recent years, or South American countries have learned from Venezuela to take back the nationalization of oil, natural gas, mineral resources, etc., so that they can have a better life.

The people of South American countries have a sharp contrast between their lives before and after, because they are the ones who have experienced it personally. (End of this chapter)
