Chapter 841 Turbulent crude oil

8days ago Celebrity fiction 15
On September 21, 1,000 Star Ring Trade Marines boarded the ship from the port in Manila, ending a two-month military occupation.

In the future, the security of Manila will be under the responsibility of the military corps and the Moro army, while the garrison of Star Ring Trade in the Philippines will be reduced by half again, and only half of the brigade will be retained.

On the one hand, this is to respond to the United Nations peace initiative, and on the other hand, it is to free up hands.

After boarding the transport ship, the soldiers did not return to Koro Island, but met with another large transport ship. Under the escort of the Guardian-class frigate, they passed through the Indian Ocean and set foot on the island of Madagascar at the southern end of Africa.

Last week, Madagascar opposition leader Sanvini was successfully elected president, revoking all the privileges of Arrowhead in the country and revoking their business licenses for 17 charges including tax evasion, murder, and bribery.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Freemason to honestly give up the forces operating in Madagascar for more than ten years.

On the first day of Sanvini's sworn in, more than a dozen Arrowhead special forces lurking in the capital Antananarivo ambushed Sanvini's convoy.

The president, who had been in office for only 24 hours, died tragically under the rifle of Arrowhead Company.

Madagascar was in an uproar.

Arrow Company simply took advantage of the situation and launched former President Rajona, claiming that the Liberal Party colluded with foreign forces in an attempt to subvert the stability of Madagascar. The election was invalid and a re-election must be re-election!

However, if that's the case, Rajona did not mean to re-election.

With his support in the southern constituency, he formed a presidential guard with the help of the Freemason, and also hired the Arrow Company to go straight to the armed coup.

Anyway, coups can be much more frequent than general elections for these uncivilized small African countries.

The president died and the Liberal Party was in chaos.

Fortunately, Vice President Bernard made a quick decision and took over the presidency as soon as possible, took control of the Madagascar army, and vowed to resist to the end.

The regular army has only 2.16 million, and the total tanks is no more than fifteen, and the armored vehicles are not enough for a mechanized brigade.

With such a backward army, it is obviously unrealistic to fight against Raqiaona, who is supported by the Freemason.

Urge the army to defend the defense line from Anzirabe and block the rebels 120 kilometers in front of the capital. On the other side, Bernard immediately contacted Jiang Chen, the supporter behind the Liberal Party, and sought help from the Star Ring Trade that Gang repelled the Freemasons in Manila.

Allies ask for help, and the Star Ring Trade is of course unshirkable to take over.

A mechanized brigade set sail on a transport ship, landed at the northern port of Madagascar, and rushed directly to the front line to exchange fire with the rebels.

The so-called Presidential Guard and the Madagascar Army have become decorations, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that what really determines the outcome of this war depends on who wins and loses in the trade between Arrow Company and Star Rings.

Therefore, this war is also nicknamed by many people as agent wars and mercenary wars.

The longer this war is delayed, the more beneficial it will be to Jiang Chen.

Star Ring Trade mainly dispatched foreign corpses, individual drones, as well as armored vehicles and tanks purchased from Russia, and did not dispatch Tiger Hunting II and Aurora-20.

Only by consuming Madagascar's national strength as much as possible can it be obedient after the war is over and not have the wrong ideas of starting a business.

Although some of them are sorry for their allies, they can only make sacrifices for the sake of the new country.

……

Just as the Star Ring Trade and Masonic battles were in full swing on Madagascar, a financial tsunami was quietly brewing.

The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate. From the IS in Iraq to the Turkish civil war, those who are interested can clearly find that this soil surrounding Babylonian civilization has fallen into continuous wars.

This war around black gold is also filled with smoke in the international crude oil market.

Since the bottoming out at the beginning of the year, the price of crude oil per barrel has continued to rise.

As we all know, the US economy has long relied on the two pillars of oil and the US dollar.

According to the International Monetary Fund estimates, every $5 rise in oil prices will cut global economic growth by about 03 percentage points, while the U.S. economic growth rate may drop by about 04 percentage points.

It can be said that the US dollar has a negative correlation with oil.

It is precisely because of this that the United States has been deliberately pushing for oil depreciation.

As early as 2014, the shale gas revolution doubled Texas' oil production by three years.

Many people subjectively believe that all oil comes from the Middle East, but ignore the fact that the UAE's national output is less than that of a Texas state in the United States.

However, even so, the reduction of production in Middle East oil due to the war is still a heavy blow to international oil prices.

On September 23, Star Ring Trade and Arrows exchanged fire in the northern mountainous area of ​​Anzirabe City in Madagascar. The US dollar has been falling for three consecutive days due to fluctuations in the international crude oil market.

Wall Street traders predict that the probability of the Federal Reserve hike in September will reach 47%, while a report from Future People Bank was also placed on Jiang Chen's desk.

As the Fed's expectation of interest rate hikes heated up, the US dollar rose slightly, stopping the dollar's downward momentum.However, there is no sign of stabilization in the international crude oil market. At this time, interest rate hikes have laid the hidden dangers of the economic crisis in the future.

And this economic crisis is destined to be paid by other countries.

Standing at Jiang Chen's desk, David Smith, CEO of Future People Bank, explained the report to Jiang Chen.

Is the US dollar depreciating?Jiang Chen held the report and fell into deep thought.

It comes faster than I thought.

If the US dollar depreciates, the interests of the future group and even the new country's economy will be affected first.

The appreciation of crude oil will also have an immeasurable impact on the industries in New Matthew and Anga Island.

In the future, people's group can produce minerals and grain, but the only thing oil has never been solved.

The waters of Xinguo are vast and rich in minerals, but there is no oil.

And oil is a very important thing in industrial production.

From fuels, plastics, synthetic rubber, and even clothes, pharmaceuticals, and even food, petroleum covers a wide range of areas.

It is also for this reason that oil is used as an important indicator for evaluating global economic expectations.

Any good ideas?Jiang Chen put the report aside and asked to look at David Smith.

certainly.Mr. Smith clicked, and from his expression he obviously came prepared.

I noticed that the new country is still using US dollars for settlement, and its resistance to foreign exchange market fluctuations is quite fragile.If the US dollar depreciates sharply, the first thing to go bankrupt is the new country's finances.If the US dollar depreciates by ten points, the GDP of the new country will become a bubble for the whole year last year.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen almost broke out in cold sweat.

Damn, this is too dark!

Originally, he planned to wait until the space elevator was completed before doing this, but now it seems that it must be advanced!

It coincided with Jiang Chen's idea. After a moment of pause, Smith expressed his suggestions.

With the current population of the new country, it is fully capable of supporting a monetary system.Considering the influence of Future Ren Group in the New Country, I propose that Future Ren Bank join forces with several private banks in the New Country to establish an institution similar to the Federal Reserve to issue the New Country’s own currency!
