Rebirth of England.

Chapter 965 Satisfactory Punishment

In fact, in America's global strategy, it controls strategic fulcrums in major regions.

For example, Japan and South Korea in Asia, Britain in Europe, and Israel in the Middle East.

So here comes the question. Apart from Japan and South Korea existing as colonies, the other two countries have a complicated "conjugate father-son" relationship with the United States...

If Britain and Israel have irreconcilable conflicts, whose side will America stand on?

One is the biological father, the other is the illegitimate father. Of course, there is no doubt that America will stand with Israel. Faced with such a situation, what else can Britain do except complain about being an "unfilial son"?

What's more, even if Barron has great influence in Britain, he still cannot represent Britain. At least for now, he cannot exist as the "uncrowned king" of Britain.

Therefore, if his conflict with Israel escalates, in addition to his current own strength being unable to compete with Israel, the United States will of course take action to prevent their strategic... uh, fulcrum in the Middle East from being hit.

This is what Nigel said to Barron, they needed to respond to Mossad's involvement in Barron's assassination, but they also needed to limit the scale of the response.

In addition to providing some weapons to Hamas to attack Israel, Barron also expanded the "adoption" of Palestinian orphans and will train a group of sufficiently qualified forces for the future Palestine at the Munger base.

"I'm so glad you're okay..."

"There were a few minor problems, but they're all over now, honey."

After being released, Ivanta stabilized the situation of IC Capital and immediately flew to London.

For safety reasons, she deliberately took the first-class cabin of the civil aviation this time.

In this incident, Ivanta rejected the other party's threat to cooperate, which can be said to have passed Barron's test and temporarily dispelled his doubts about Ivanta's "backstabbing" of Jianguo in his previous life.

Of course, it is reasonable to think so. After all, in her previous life, Ivanta chose the interests of her and her husband's "small family". Now, although Barron and she have no official status, they can also be considered a "small family".

And she is also a smart woman who understands that although she manages IC Capital, most of the time, she can only achieve her current success because of Barron's support.

Otherwise, based on ability alone, is she stronger than her father?
Think about how much assets the entire TP family has now, and how much assets the IC Capital she manages has, and the reasons become clear.

A person can be smart, stupid, or ordinary, but as long as he understands the limits of his abilities, it is not difficult to have a good ending.

In addition to Ivanta's arrival, John Bogle also arrived in London shortly after her.

"It's not easy to come to see you, Your Highness. After all, such a long journey is not easy for me now."

John Bogle looked older than when Barron first met him; after all, he is 84 years old.

He sat in the seat where Avril Haynes had sat before and said to Barron, "I have not been involved in the affairs of the Vanguard Group for a long time, but now in this regrettable situation, they have invited me out again..."

By the time John Bogle showed up, Barron already knew why he was there.

After all, during these few days, they did not give the Jewish capital the opportunity to withdraw in time, or in other words, when the other party hesitated, the opportunity had already slipped away.

When the opponent's attack was the most fierce, the share prices of listed companies controlled by DS Group, including United Energy Group, O2 Telecom, Woaw Technology and other companies, fell by between 20-25% at one point, which was enough to cause panic in the market.

However, after DS Group obtained funds and began a massive counterattack, and after each company announced that major shareholders would invest to increase their holdings to stabilize confidence, and after Barron's spokesperson stated that all companies were operating well and had achieved profit growth in the third quarter of this year, the stock prices of these companies began to rebound strongly from the bottom, not only recovering lost ground, but even experiencing a retaliatory rise compared to before.

This situation has made short-selling capital including Vanguard Group and BlackRock Group very uncomfortable. According to conservative estimates, their losses in this short-selling will exceed US$150 billion!
You know, Societe Generale's loss of nearly 50 billion euros almost caused the bank to go bankrupt. If the losses cannot be reduced as soon as possible, even if it will not cause serious damage to companies such as Vanguard and BlackRock, it will cause them to lose more funds - this will make them lose the trust of a considerable number of investors, and thus choose to withdraw their investment.

"Luckily, you still get to see me, Mr. Bogle. This is God's blessing to me."

"This is a very irrational and unforgivable mistake, Your Highness. This also goes against my original intention of establishing the Pilot Group..."

Regardless of John Bogle's true thoughts, at least at this moment, he still showed emotions of anger and sadness.

He said to Barron sincerely:
"The board of directors will remove William from his position as chairman and CEO, dismiss all personnel involved in this matter, and stop the malicious short selling of all companies related to you..."

When John Bogle said this, Barron did not respond immediately, but continued to look at him with a smile, waiting for his next words.

"Of course, in order to avoid market turmoil, I hope you can temporarily stop operations here so that we can complete the closing of positions smoothly."

The other party’s loss in this short-selling operation is already certain. The only uncertainty is how much the loss will be.

John Bogle's meaning was clear: he wanted to reduce their losses.

"I'm just curious, if I'm not blessed by God this time, will you give DS Group a chance to retreat safely?"

Hearing Barron's words, John Bogle touched his nose, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"It's meaningless to say this now. I can only tell you that if I were still in control of the Vanguard Group, this wouldn't have happened and we would still be close partners. But now that it has happened, all we need to do is try our best to make amends. Those who were involved in this matter..."

He looked at Barron and deepened his tone slightly:

"You will get a punishment that satisfies you, but if you really continue to fight like this, in order to avoid further losses, these companies, including Vanguard Group, can only try their best. You know, the assets controlled by these companies exceed 20 trillion US dollars... This is not a threat, Barron, but just a statement of fact. Neither investors nor the board of directors will allow too much loss in this action..."

"You understand what the punishment is that satisfies me, Mr. Bogle. In addition, I can temporarily stop DS Group's buying operations from that time on, but there is one condition."

"You said."

“Vanguard and BlackRock will withdraw all shares currently held in these companies. I will arrange for other companies to take over at the price you close your positions.”
