Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 287

“Portuguese Escudo fell 800 basis points against the U.S. dollar yesterday, marking the largest single-day drop in Escudo in five years…”

“The Greek drachma has fallen continuously against the U.S. dollar within a week, and the decline has expanded to 1,500 basis points, a record low in 5 years. The Central Bank of Greece stated that it does not rule out the participation of international hot money in speculating on drachmas. The Central Bank of Greece is confident to deal with everything. Provocation and maintain the stability of the Drachma exchange rate…”

“The Luxembourg franc has a flash crash, which once touched the bottom line of the European linked exchange rate. The Luxembourg central bank has applied for emergency assistance from the Bundesbank. The Bundesbank said that the establishment of the Association will go all out to maintain the stability of the Luxembourg franc…”

“The Belgian franc has fallen against the U.S. dollar for several weeks, and it is only one step away from the bottom line of the European linked exchange rate…”

…

Just when Sergei was in Yugoslavia mediating the crisis here, the Gorky Group took the lead in attacking Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece and Portugal, which are weaker in the European Community. In order not to allow Germany to overreact, the Gorky Group has been gently suppressing the currency in circulation of the four countries. Whenever the currency value of these countries is about to touch the European linked exchange rate, the Gorky Group will temporarily adjust the pressure on the central banks of the four countries mentioned above, making them think that they can defeat international speculators and hot money by their own strength.

Although the currencies of these countries have been continuously attacked by international hot money recently, it seems understandable to be targeted by international hot money because of their weak strength. For the core countries in the European Community-Britain, France, and Germany. As long as these countries can survive on their own, they will have no obligation and responsibility to help. Especially for Britain and France, their economies have just shown signs of improvement, and they do not have the spare capacity to help their neighbors.

At this moment, Sergeysha has not fully attacked the European linked exchange rate. He is doing the final test, because the European Community has intervened in the Yugoslav civil war, and Yugoslavia is now regarded by Sergei as his own ban. You know, because the mouth of the Black Sea is controlled by Turkey, the Soviet navy has never been able to enter the ocean freely. Once something happens, the Black Sea Fleet will be completely locked up by a tiny Turkey. Not even the Mediterranean Sea is accessible. Therefore, it has always been the wish of the Soviet Union to have its own outlet in the Mediterranean.

There are developed countries such as France and Italy along the Mediterranean Sea, which are also vital to the unified market group that is now striving to expand trade. It should be understood that the cost of sea transportation is much less than that of land transportation, and the trade prosperity of the Baltic countries cannot be compared with Mediterranean trade at all. Once Selesha can truly connect the unified market, the construction of a railway from Gdansk in Poland to the Port of Dulas in Albania is definitely a road to prosperity for the entire unified market. In addition, it will flow through Germany. The Danube in Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine in the Soviet Union can also provide some convenience for freight transport between the Soviet Union and Europe. But if Yugoslavia is missing, all this can only stay on the plan and will never be realized.

In order to get Milosevic to give up his plan to suppress Croatia and Slovenia by force, Sergeysha and the leader of the United Market Organization Mikhail ran out two big cakes for Milosevic, as long as peace is restored in Yugoslavia. , The Unified Market Organization is willing to accept Yugoslavia as a full member of the Unified Market, while Selesha expressed on behalf of the Soviet Union that it is willing to provide Yugoslavia with cheap oil and natural gas, provided that Yugoslavia wants to maintain peace.

I have to say that the temptation of the economy really tempted Milosevic. As the main ethnic group in Yugoslavia, Serbia is not an economically developed area. Slovenia and Croatia in the north are the main industrial clusters in Yugoslavia. A very important reason why Yugoslavia is so persistent on Slovenia and Croatia is that Serbia cannot get rid of its economic dependence on the North. In addition, the great power chauvinism of the Serbs is also one of the important causes of this civil war. Sergeysha vaguely felt that, in fact, Milosevic agreed to send troops to Croatia and Slovenia to a large extent was not his original intention. You must know that the Serbs who actually went to Slovenia and Croatia to fight in the war were in the name of a volunteer army, not In the name of the Yugoslav government. The term volunteer army is essentially no different from the militia. Although the Serbian Volunteer Army must have the shadow of the Yugoslav government behind it, as long as the Yugoslav government does not send troops in its own name, the war has always stayed on buying shields among the people.

The observer mission of the international human rights organization in Yugoslavia fears that the world will not be chaotic, and constantly tells the outside world that there is a serious human rights crisis in Yugoslavia~www.mtlnovel.com~Croatians and Slovenians are being massacred by Serbs. The Yugoslav government led by Milosevic is facing tremendous international pressure. Both the European Community and the United States have secretly provided a large amount of funds and advanced weapons to support anti-government organizations in Croatia and Slovenia. In addition, the United States and European countries have to cut off trade with Yugoslavia. At this moment, Sergei gave Milosevic a gift.

Sergei Shah and Mikhail, chairman of the Unified Market Organization, jointly put pressure on the Albanian side and asked the Albanian government to stop assisting Albanian anti-government organizations in the Kosovo region. We must know that the Autonomous Province of Kosovo is located in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, and the Kosovo issue has always been a serious concern for the Serbs. The Albanian government is eager to join the unified market and get rid of economic difficulties. So in the face of Mikhail’s request, the Albanian government dare not refuse to agree, but they only have one request, that is, to ensure the personal safety of Albanians in Kosovo.

Facing the great gift of Sergei Sha and Mikhail, compare the United States and the European Union countries that can only play tricks. Milosevic finally learned about the power of Selesha and the unified market organization. So within 72 hours after the Albanian government issued the statement, the Albanian anti-government organization in Kosovo and the Yugoslav government finally sat at the negotiating table and started a dialogue.

Sergei once again magically brought dawn to the crisis in Yugoslavia, and compared to the actions of the United States and the European Community in Yugoslavia, it was tantamount to fanning the flames for fear that the world would not be chaotic. This time, Milosevic finally made up his mind and completely gave up the illusion of the European Community and the United States. On the scale of competition, the unified market and the Soviet Union’s plan gained more weight.
