I am a policeman

Chapter 599 Sniping the Pound
"Director!"

Seeing Yazi in the front and Zhou Xingxing in the back, Wu Junru, Ye Zimei, and Su Guoli quickly stood up and saluted.

"It's all my own, so you don't have to be polite." Yazi waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, then turned on the projector, and projected the prepared materials on the screen.

"I called you here today because there is an important task for your monitoring team. This task is very dangerous and life-threatening, so we must cooperate with the Flying Tigers to act together."

"Unite with the Flying Tigers to act together." Hearing this, Ye Zimei and the three looked at the Flying Tigers commander and chief superintendent Zhou Xingxing sitting in the front row.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything, just like you, I was dragged here by Ms. Yazi when I first arrived at the headquarters." Zhou Xingxing, who likes to play tricks, found that everyone was looking at him, and spread his hands and didn't know anything.

"Our target this time is Group A of the CIA in the Eagle Country. If 007 is the trump card of the Sixth Bureau—the king of spies, then Group A is the sharpest knife in the Sixth Bureau.

Since its establishment, it has performed countless missions, such as blowing up the heavy water storage tank of Germany's Nusk Heido factory in Norway during World War II. The operation code-named Feiyan was their handwriting.

If you are interested in Operation Feiyan, you can check it out. The commandos sent by the Eagle Kingdom, with the cooperation of the local resistance organization in Norway, climbed over the cliffs and detoured the inaccessible valleys before successfully sneaking into the factory.

Then through an underground tunnel, I came to the heavy water storage tank without anyone noticing, installed 18 packs of explosives inside, connected the wires, checked both sides, and after confirming that they were correct, lit the fuse and quickly evacuated.

This attack successfully blew up 450 kilograms of heavy water produced in Germany, making Germany's atomic bomb plan come to naught. For this reason, then Prime Minister Qiu personally received the special forces involved in the operation.

Operation Feiyan is just one of the many battles in Team A. There are too many battles that are not known because of confidentiality. You just need to know that each member of Team A is an elite among the elites, and they can count as ten. "

"What's so great about this, our Flying Tigers can do the same." Hearing Yazi brag about Team A, Zhou Xingxing was a little dissatisfied with the Flying Tigers.

"A Xing, don't be proud, Team A is different from Flying Tigers." Yazi shook his head and retorted,

"Group A is a special force, which is selected from tens of thousands or even 10,000+ combat troops. Its purpose is to attack and complete tasks in the shortest time.

The Flying Tigers are selected from tens of thousands of front-line police forces. Compared with the A team, not only is the selection range much smaller, but the combat effectiveness of the police and the army is not comparable.

For example, in the 400-meter obstacle course, the passing standard of the Flying Tigers is not to mention the special forces, even if they are in the army, it is also a failure.

Otherwise, Dong Ge, who had been in team A, would not be able to wipe out the Flying Tigers team one by one. "

"Director, what do you mean, Director Lei is still related to Team A." As a member of Bawanghua, Wu Junru was one of the witnesses of the competition that year.

Facing the proud Instructor Jian and the others, Lei Weidong taught them a good lesson.

"When Brother Dong was studying in London, he stayed in Team A for a while, not only as the ace in it, but also participated in several actions, in Dong Ge's words.

If in the city.

The Flying Tigers who are familiar with urban combat can exchange two or three for one with Team A!

But in the wild, none of the five Flying Tigers would necessarily be replaced by a Team A member.

The gap between the two is all-round. "

"The gap is all-round. The director really looks down on our Flying Tigers." Zhou Xingxing was a little dissatisfied with Lei Weidong's evaluation.

If it was before, it would not matter to criticize Zhou Xingxing of the Flying Tigers.

Although he is from the Flying Tigers, Zhou Xingxing has long regarded himself as a married daughter after being away for more than ten years.

However, it doesn't work anymore.

Zhou Xingxing has returned to the Flying Tigers and is still the chief instructor. If he says that the Flying Tigers are not good, it will be a slap in the face.

"I know you are not convinced, so Brother Dong gave you this chance." Waving his hand to signal Zhou Xingxing to be safe, Yazi smiled and said, "According to the intelligence, Team A will arrive in Xiangjiang tomorrow, and the mission of the Flying Tigers is Cooperate with Surveillance Zu to monitor them secretly.

If they don't violate the regulations, let them go. Once there is a place that goes beyond the rules, they will be arrested immediately. "

"Director, why did Team A come to Xiangjiang? Is there a major event that requires them to participate?" Seeing the content of the action Yazi distributed, Ye Zimei asked.

"Squad A is the sharp knife of the CIA Sixth Bureau. Considering our relationship with Gui Lao, if nothing else happens, they will support the director and the governor to deal with us."

Zhou Xingxing, Ye Zimei and the others are all on their own, and they have followed Lei Weidong for more than ten years, so there is no need to hide many things from them.

"Since they are here to deal with us, why not arrest them directly, and arrest them to save trouble for the director." Zhou Xingxing proposed with a fist the size of a sandbag.

"Now we have a very delicate relationship with the director and the governor. You have me, and I have you. No one dares to go overboard. If you attack Team A first, you will be passive in righteousness.

And the team A that came this time is just a small team, and it doesn't matter if they are eliminated. It's better to monitor them first and wait for the ghost to make a move. Yazi shook his head and rejected Zhou Xingxing's proposal.

"Would it be too passive to wait for the ghost to make a move?" Ye Zimei asked.

"Don't worry, Xiangjiang's inability to make a move doesn't mean that other places can't make a move. It's probably a mess in London now." Yazi laughed.

As the head of the intelligence department, Yazi got the news that the international hot money represented by the Quantum Fund has launched a sniper attack on the British pound, and the ghost is too busy to take care of himself and Xiangjiang.
-
As the first central bank in human history, Eagle Country's central bank is far more powerful than HSBC, holding an unknown amount of wealth.

Even after two wars, the empire on which the sun never sets has fallen from the altar of world hegemony, but the Bank of England is still one of the financial institutions with the largest assets in the world.

In the financial market, especially in London, a place with an acre of land, he has never met an opponent.

But all of this came to an abrupt end with the actions of Soros and others.

The main reason why international hot money sold on the pound was because they found a loophole.

And this loophole began in 1978, when Europe proposed the establishment of the European Monetary System.

Because the purpose of becoming a monetary system in Europe is to implement a stable exchange rate system.

That is to say, as long as they are members of the European Union, their currencies must establish exchange rate parity with each other, that is, the benchmark exchange rate between currencies, and the fluctuation range of the actual exchange rate cannot exceed ±2.25% of this parity.

If a member state's exchange rate fluctuations against other member states exceed this limit, then the member state must assume the responsibility for adjusting the exchange rate.

For example, by means of buying and selling the domestic currency to stabilize the domestic currency, so that the fluctuation range of the domestic currency exchange rate returns to within the limit of ±2.25%.

After the establishment of the European Monetary System, all EU member states joined the system in a short period of time, only the eagle country did not participate in the system.

The reason for not joining is simple.

Because if the eagle country becomes a member of the European Monetary System.

Then, as one of the five rogue countries, the Eagle State must assume the responsibility of stabilizing the exchange rate like the Gallic chicken, which will reduce the room for the Eagle State to use the exchange rate changes to regulate the external and internal economy.

For example.

If there is an economic crisis in Eagle Country.

Then, in order to reduce the impact of the economic crisis on the country, Eagle Country can adopt the method of currency devaluation to improve the competitiveness of its products.

To put it simply, it is to stimulate exports, restrict imports, and promote the increase of GDP, so as to escape the economic crisis safely.

But joining the European Monetary System will not work.

As a member of the European Monetary System, Eagle Country must abide by the discipline of the European Monetary System, and cannot use currency devaluation to stimulate the economy at will.

However, as a major European country, if the Eagle Country does not join the European monetary system, the Eagle Country will lose its influence in the process of European integration.

In the end, the Eagle Country weighed repeatedly and joined the European Monetary System in October 1990.

As a major European country, after joining the European Monetary System, the Eagle Country set the exchange rate of its own currency, that is, the British pound and the Mark, above 1:2.7780.

In other words, once the exchange rate falls below this rate, Eagle Country must take action to stabilize the exchange rate.

In later words, this was a huge mistake, because at that time Germany's economic development was in full swing and its economic strength continued to grow.In contrast, the national strength of the eagle country is declining day by day, and it is difficult to support the fixed interest rate of the British pound to the mark.

Even more unfortunately, this flaw was discovered by international hot money.

When the Eagle Country just joined the European exchange rate system, the exchange rate of the pound to the mark was 1:2.95.

As a result, since the eagle country joined the European exchange rate system, the pound sterling has continued to depreciate.

Because Eagle Country's domestic economy is sluggish, in order to stimulate consumption, Eagle Country has lowered interest rates so that more funds can enter the market and improve the domestic economic level.

And Germany doesn't need it.

Because the German economy is developing very well, not only companies but also individuals have a lot of money in their hands.

It is an exaggeration to say that the money cannot be spent. Anyway, even if the outside funds do not come in, the German economy can develop very well. It can be said that Germany at this time has not raised interest rates, which is already the greatest help to the Eagle Country.

Of course, the Eagle Country hopes that Germany can lower the bank interest rate, so that the pound can be devalued in compliance with the European interest rate system, so that the Eagle Country can expand exports through currency depreciation and improve the competitiveness of its products in the international market.

Otherwise, the shrinking exports will inevitably lead to a further decline in Eagle Country's economy.

However, Germany does not agree with the devaluation of the mark.

Therefore, the British pound can only depreciate within a reasonable range. From the initial exchange rate of 2.95 to the Mark, the exchange rate of the British pound to the Mark has slowly declined, first to 2.85, and then to 2.8. It seems that it is close to the 1:2.7780 of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.

Under the circumstances that Germany was unwilling to devalue the mark, Eagle Country had no choice but to take out 33 billion pounds from the bank to intervene in the market.

This move, in the eyes of speculators, is a sign that the pound is about to fail.

Because, if the pound is so strong, what need for central bank intervention?

So under such circumstances, speculators from all walks of life have been eyeing the pound and began to short the pound. A large number of pound holders began to sell the pound. Suddenly, most of the market was selling the pound instead of buying the pound.
In this buyer's market, in order to sell quickly, the seller will continue to lower the price, resulting in a further depreciation of the pound.

Although the depreciation of the pound is conducive to stimulating the eagle's economy and expanding exports.

But embarrassingly so.

Eagle country joins the European Union.

As long as it is a member of the European Union, it must abide by the European exchange rate system.

The pound can be devalued, but according to the agreement, the exchange rate between the pound and the mark cannot be less than 1:2.7780.

That is to say, unless the eagle country withdraws from the European Union, otherwise he must hold on to 1:2.7780. No matter how the pound depreciates, no matter how it is conducive to economic growth, the exchange rate against the Mark cannot be less than this value.

Unless the mark also depreciates together, the pound can get more room for depreciation.

This is why Lei Weidong knows that international hot money such as the Quantum Fund can make a fortune on the British pound, but he does not dare to be the main force and can only earn pocket money.

Because, for Soros and other international hot money, they dare to bet that Germany will not devalue the mark.

As long as Germany is unwilling to devalue the mark, Eagle Country has no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy pounds in the market.

Because if everyone in the market is buying pounds, the price will be in the hands of the seller, and the buyer will continue to increase the price in order to buy pounds quickly.

In this way, the UK can hold the line of 1:27780.

But Lei Weidong didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't gamble, because he would definitely lose if he gambled.

The reason is very simple!
Sniping the pound seems to be the work of Soros, but in fact the real tycoon is the Wall Street capital behind the hot money.

The reason why everyone remembers Soros!
It is because Soros likes to appear in front of the camera and enjoy the envious eyes and words of praise from others to increase his fame.

The benefit of this is.

As an invincible financial predator.

Fame is appeal!
When attacking an opponent, as long as you have a great reputation, you don't need to say it yourself, and no one will charge behind you.

Wall Street is also happy to have people like Soros as targets, so that they can make a fortune behind their backs.

Although Wall Street is hidden behind international hot money, it does not mean that they have not exerted their influence.

When being impacted by international capital.

On the one hand, Eagle Country provided funds to stabilize the market, and on the other hand demanded the devaluation of the Deutsche Mark.

If we say that it was Lei Weidong who attacked the pound.

Then, in the face of the pressure from the Eagle Country, Germany is likely to devalue the mark and together with the Eagle Country people loot Lei Weidong.

In this case, no matter how much money Lei Weidong spends, it will be in the hands of Eagle Country and Germany.

No amount of personal money can compete with the country.

It is not the same when Soros and others hit the pound.

The influence of Wall Street is huge, and in many cases it can represent the will of Lao Mei.

Facing Eagle Country and Old America, all fools know which side Germany sits on.

It can be said that it is inevitable for the people of Eagle Country to be beaten.
