Chapter 911 Yugoslav turn
"The exchange rate of the United States against the Japanese yen and the mark has dropped by four percent in one day. We need some economic experts to evaluate the subsequent results!" General Chebrikov, the first vice chairman of the KGB and alternate member of the Soviet Central Presidium, quickly sent the details here, and the evaluation of the five-country finance minister agreement.
"Oh! Assessment. Just think that the economic strength of the United States will be even more expanded in a short period of time. I can do this assessment." Selov looked at General Chebrikov, then pulled out a smile that made General Chebrikov unable to touch his head, and said an assertion that no one could believe, "The real United States has been dead from this moment on."
This sentence is like the cold wind from Siberia blowing into General Chebrikov's heart. As the first vice chairman of the KGB who has experienced many battles, General Chebrikov will not be confused by one or two words under normal circumstances, but this sentence is different. His significance is too great. The General Secretary actually said that the United States, which has been fighting with the Soviet Union for decades, has accumulated strength to launch a huge counterattack, is it over?
Even if it was just a joke, Chebrikov hoped that this was true. Moreover, with his understanding of the General Secretary, it seemed that the other party was not the one who joked about such things. To be precise, Serov never joked about big things.
"General Secretary, I can't understand your words." General Chebrikov was silent for a moment and told the truth. It was obvious that the current situation was that the United States seemed to have burst out with huge forces. On the borders of Nicaragua, South Yemen, Indonesia and Malaysia, Thailand and other countries were constantly causing trouble for the Soviet Union, but from the words of the General Secretary, it seemed that this was not the case.
"The United States has put its future potential to the present, so it burst out with power that looks higher than its real strength. This is abnormal. This agreement has also hurt the two most economically strongest allies. The negative effects of this agreement will become greater and greater in the future, but in recent years, it is indeed a big trouble for us." Selov said without changing his face. "This kind of behavior of living in parents' houses and spending their children's wages, whether it happens in the country or individuals, is seeking death."
Waving his hand made General Chebrikov, who was a little happy and confused, go down, and he still buried some things in his heart. In fact, this square agreement will trigger an opportunity, and from the perspective of future development, China will benefit the most.
Faced with the pressure of currency appreciation, Japan and Germany adopted different countermeasures, which had completely different impacts on the macro stability and economic growth of these two countries. Germany's experience is mainly: timely adjustment of exchange rate policies and pursue an independent monetary policy. The Plaza Agreement also led to a significant appreciation of the German Mark and also caused a short-term economic recession. However, the Germans have always remembered the hyperinflation during the Weimar Republic, so they are very cautious about stimulus measures. The German monetary authorities have a clear stand on the policy of the country, focusing on the stability of domestic prices and outputs, and the exchange rate is in a relatively secondary position.
The lighter recession in Germany has nothing to do with any policy, mainly because the Western European market helped him. The Plaza Agreement completely defeated Japan's manufacturing industry, but Japan also had its own solutions.
The United States will change its trade deficit in the short term, but it is only in the short term. The essence of the US economy has not changed at all. The export quota reduced by Japan in this account book is just a replacement for another account book, and this quota has increased significantly. Similarly, the profit margin of Japanese companies has also increased significantly.
This method is to transfer the products originally produced in Japan to other countries and regions for production. On the one hand, it can use the cheap labor of other countries to reduce production costs, and on the other hand, it can reduce direct exports to the United States so as not to anger the deep-rooted trade protection trend in the US Congress.
The United States defeated Japan and Germany, which pose the greatest threat to its economy through the square agreement, and allowed Japan and Germany's capital to overflow to other countries, but ordinary countries cannot bear so much money. Whether in Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia, these overflowed capital has fewer choices than historically, because these two places are all Soviets.
Japan's first choice was South Korea, but South Korea had developed and was very wary of the United States to become the second Japan. The same is true for fraud, so Japan chose Southeast Asia, but in the end the capital went to China by itself. Sherov knew about this situation. The Forestry Bureau where he lived in his previous life was already considered a place that could not be smaller. Even in such a small place, he had seen two Sino-Japanese joint ventures when he was six or seven years old. It is conceivable how many Japanese-funded enterprises there were in the country at that time.
Without this square agreement, China cannot develop so quickly. The General Secretary will not sympathize with Japan and Germany. Who makes you not an independent country at all deserve to be sucked by blood?
Selov believes that from now on, there is no suspense that the Cold War will win. Either he led the Soviet Union and waited until Reagan's chicken blood failed to attack. If he failed, he would wait for a little more than twenty years and wait for China to expand and attack. The difference between the two is just the difference in the victory time.
But twenty years later, he might not be the General Secretary, so the former is more tempting. Reagan would not have thought that the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was happier than the US president who reversed the trade deficit. He rarely poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass to the air, and celebrated himself with himself.
Because of the signing of the square agreement, Selov specially invited Jihonov, hoping that Jihonov would take some money to buy land in Japan. You should know that the General Secretary did not mention this issue at the Central Plenary Session, but it has indeed begun to implement the idea of compensating cadres for retirement. Cars require money, and houses also require money. How can the Central Committee get money? I wonder if the General Secretary deducted too much?
Jihonov did not stop Selov's actions, and the Soviet Union was not as good as not even the money to buy land. On the contrary, the total amount of foreign exchange in the Soviet Union was incomparable to that of Japan, but it was also a huge amount of money. There were fewer channels for foreign exchange.
When the US dollar is about to depreciate, it is not so incomprehensible to find a place to maintain its value. The General Secretary thinks that Japan is good and buys land for the sake of insurance.
"It seems that the harvest season is coming soon!" Selov said to himself. The test now is at best the darkness before dawn. When it comes to the day of victory, he will also learn about Brezhnev and say something to the people of the Soviet Union. It's not far away...
Reagan seized time to make the American power expand again, which does not mean that Selov did nothing. The General Secretary did not exchange life experiences with Xiao Maomei every day, and then went to the hospital to see if the second secretary and the Secretary of Defense died, it would be fine.
Since Tito and Stalin's discord, Yugoslavia has been a heart-wrenching problem in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had lacked an outlet in the Mediterranean and lost Yugoslavia and later Albania, further weakening the Soviet Union's influence in the Mediterranean. If Brezhnev had not had the unprecedented courage to support Selov, the Soviet Union would not have been able to maintain its existence in the Mediterranean for a long time.
The chess-raid attack on Turkey has resulted in a huge change in the situation in Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact on the land has saved a lot of troops from defense against Turkey and Greece, and the Soviet Red Navy has been unobstructed in the Mediterranean from the ocean, which has consolidated the friendship with Egypt, Syria and Libya. It has saved huge energy and expenses.
But this does not mean that Yugoslavia is not important. Yugoslavia's military strength among European socialist countries is second only to the Soviet Union and Poland, and its soldier quality is second only to the Soviet Union and Democratic Germany. In addition, more than 300,000 Yugoslav troops, including the border guards, have been against the Soviet Union and the more than 20 million people in the entire Yugoslavia, which is undoubtedly a huge internal friction.
In the end, Serov sent out his ultimate move and lived a long life. Under the cover of time, Tito died. He began to protect some Serbian Communist cadres as early as the 1970s. Today is the day to reap the results.
On December 7, the Kremlin was dressed up in a new way and welcomed a Yugoslav leader with the highest etiquette. Rankovic, general secretary of the Serbian Communist Party, who had long faded out of politics but returned from Tito's death.
After his comeback, Lankovic relied on the Serbian Communist Party, the strongest within Yugoslavia, to start fighting for the supreme power of Yugoslavia, and of course the support of the Soviet Union. Finally, after fighting for the Communist Party of Montenegro, Slovenia and other communists, he completed a phased victory against the Croatian Communist Party.
Today is the official day when Rankovic visited Moscow. In fact, within Yugoslavia, the Serbs have become hard-core pro-Soviet factions and have completed the suppression of Tito elements. Serov is also very satisfied. I can't beat you when you Tito is alive, and can't beat you even if you die? I believe this is also what Rankovic thinks.
"We are allies in history. When the Russian Empire resolutely joined the world war with bad conditions, it was because it could not bear the enslavement of the Slavic brothers. Of course, it was the era of imperialism. Later, we should have had a good relationship, and the era of Tito was just an episode of the long-term and good relationship between our two countries. Do you think it is, Comrade Lankovic!" Selov welcomed Rankovic to the Kremlin with great welcome.
