Chapter 1805 Harding's Crisis!
Although Xin Ran has come up with a set of practical rescue plans, the subprime mortgage crisis in Country M is still going through the most brutal stage.Just as Xinran, McKinley and the others were discussing, two large banks ranked ninth in M ​​country, No. 12, declared bankruptcy almost at the same time.The hard-earned money of a large number of depositors was instantly wiped out!Although the government of country M has announced that it will take over the two banks and assure the depositors that they will return their savings in the two banks in full, they just don't know when the government of country M will realize it. this promise.In the past, banks were regarded as the most trusted financial institutions, but at this moment, people have labeled banks as liars.

The successive failures of many banks have gradually plunged the people of Country M into panic.Those banks that were not affected by the subprime mortgage crisis also suffered!There are long queues of withdrawals in front of the banks.All of this happened so suddenly that most banks did not expect such a situation to happen. Due to lack of preparation, various banks put up the signs of closing down one after another.

This helpless move by the bank greatly angered the depositors.I was worried that the bank would go bankrupt, and my hard-earned money would evaporate out of thin air. Now that the bank has put up a sign that it is out of business, the anxious people of country M began to take to the streets. gradually evolved into a social crisis.An atmosphere of uneasiness is hanging over country M, and clouds are hanging over it! Country M is the center of the world economy, and any disturbance here will be magnified infinitely, and then transmitted to other capital markets around the world.Europe, island countries, and countries that have a highly close economic relationship with country M were immediately affected. This anxiety and panic quickly spread from the mainland of country M to Europe and island countries.It didn't take long for an island country company to face the danger of bankruptcy because it acquired a large amount of subprime lending business in country M.Moreover, all signs indicate that this is just the beginning, and everyone's heart seems to be filled with lead-like heaviness about what will happen next.

Naturally, Harding was not ignorant of all that happened outside. One emergency incident after another caused by the subprime mortgage crisis made Harding's head bigger than one circle.

"The chief of police reported that there were many incidents of vandalism and looting near Wall Street. The security situation is very critical! The Secretary of Defense even demanded martial law throughout the city. Harding, the situation is getting more and more serious!" In Harding's office, Levins frowned and said to Harding.

"I know, I know, I don't want to hear this anymore, I just want to hear Fen 7, how can we settle all this? God, how can this day be so long?" Harding shouted angrily, holding his head in his hands.

Levins said in a deep voice: "Harding, you must give a presidential speech immediately, let everyone know that your president is still alive, and give everyone a little hope!"

Harding smiled bitterly, and murmured: "Hope? If I had this thing, I wouldn't be sitting here. Levins, you asked me to give a speech, but what do you want me to say? I said, people of country M, the economy of country M is coming to an end, and you will become paupers in a short time? Levins! Any speech you make now is empty, and no one will pay attention to it. The key is strategy, method, Let's get through this crisis!"

"However, this crisis came so suddenly that no one expected it. Although I have already called a large number of economists to discuss it, I can't come up with a good solution in a while. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the people first!" Levins said bitterly.

"Damn it! I thought I did a good thing for the people of country M, but I didn't expect to send the economy of country M to hell! Damn Chinese people, they made me suffer!" Harding yelled as he slapped the table with his teeth gritted .

"What's the use of saying this now? It's already happened! Harding, do as I say, show!" Levins shouted in a deep voice.

"Okay!" Harding shook his head, stood up from behind the table, and accepted Levins' proposal with great helplessness.With a bitter face, he said: "It's really unexpected. When the crisis broke out, I, Harding, could only talk nonsense nonsense on TV! Other than that, I couldn't do anything else."

"Mr. President, McKinley is giving a speech, do you want to see it?" At this moment, Harding's beautiful and capable secretary rushed in, and said with a complicated expression.

"What? McKinley has already started giving a speech before I give a speech here? Levins, turn on the TV. I want to see what McKinley can say at this time." Harding shouted angrily .

Levins found the remote and turned the TV on.On the screen, McKinley looked very angry, as if someone borrowed money from him to fatten his wife!He said with righteous indignation: "People of country M, our country is falling into an unprecedented crisis. This crisis is so dangerous that it is devouring the wealth of the people of country M! Some people will ask , Why did this crisis come so suddenly and so violently? I can tell you responsibly that all this was caused by our President Harding, who proposed a wrong plan at an inappropriate time! Harding takes full responsibility for this crisis!"

"Bastard! This bastard!" Hearing this, Harding seemed like a bomb that had been detonated. It exploded, and everything on the table was swept to the ground.Roaring crazily: "How can he say that, how can he?! This is slander, this is a low slander to me! I will sue him, and I will completely destroy his political future!"

"Harding, calm down! This crisis was indeed born after we put forward a plan to suppress housing prices. Our experts also said that our proposal to suppress housing prices was the direct cause of this crisis! From this point of view What McKinley said is not wrong, you can't do anything to him!" Levins said helplessly.

"Levins, why do you say that? You should know that this subprime mortgage crisis will explode sooner or later. My bill actually avoided greater losses in country M. I am not the culprit. I am country M. Hero!" Harding roared angrily.

Levins murmured bitterly: "It's a pity that most of our people are not as smart as we imagined."

"Tithe what?" Levins' words made Harding's body pause, and his face quickly darkened.

On TV, McKinley was still impassioned, denouncing Harding's crimes! The people of Country M completely believed McKinley's words, and even shouted slogans to get Harding off the stage in front of the TV cameras.Since Harding took office, he has never encountered such a serious crisis of confidence, and his reputation seems to have dropped to a freezing point all of a sudden.

All this was too cruel for Harding. Just a moment ago, he was still dreaming of being re-elected president. At this moment, he has become a criminal in the eyes of the people of country M.All of this seemed to him like a dream, a nightmare that made his heart skip a beat.

Harding had no idea at all, and looked at Levins with a look full of help.Although Levins tried to be calm, it was not difficult to see from his gaze that his mood at this time was also extremely complicated and dignified.How to solve this crisis?A big question mark lay like a mountain in front of him, who was known as the smartest staff member in country M.

"Levins, do I need a speech?" Harding murmured.

Levins shook his head and said in a bitter voice: "Speech now will only have the opposite effect. No matter how you explain it, it will make the whole result darker and darker! In front of the angry people of country M, any explanation is a Pale and pointless!"

"Then I just let McKinley talk nonsense and put shit on my head? Levins, last night's debate, I lost a mess, I'm already very passive, and continue to be talked nonsense by McKinley , I think I'd better withdraw from the election myself to avoid embarrassment!" Harding roared angrily.

"Harding, anyone can mess up now, but you can't mess up! Let McKinley say what he says. No matter how much he says, it's just empty. As long as we find a way to solve the subprime mortgage crisis, it's better than what he said. A thousand words! Every crisis creates a great president, and this is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You should be happy!" Levins said with a smile.

Harding shook his head and said: "You are right! But this loan crisis is fierce, and it is not so easy to solve. It is not a child's play!

"You have to be confident! We have the best economists in the world, and we will definitely come up with a solution. The subprime mortgage crisis is not the end of the world, so don't be nervous! However, the only thing I am worried about now is what happens if Mai Jinli and the others figured out a solution to the crisis first, so what should we do?" Levins said with his brows furrowed.

Harding shook his head like a rattle and said, "Impossible! The Democracy Hall is just playing with politics, but they are laymen when it comes to economics! Looking back at the several economic crises that have occurred in the history of country M, which one was not ours? The people of the Republican Church solved it? The people of the Democratic Church will only make the economy worse and worse!

Levins said with a serious face: "The people in Democracy Hall are indeed not very good at economics, but who knows if there will be someone who is behind the scenes to help them? Just like the debate last night, we think it's a sure thing , but it turned out to be a disastrous defeat! Could it be said that this was a coincidence? Harding's expression was shocked by Levins' words, and he asked, "You mean to say that there are people behind the Democracy Hall?If so, who would it be?Levins said in a low voice: "In country M, the people who have such a powerful force to interfere in country M's election can be counted with one hand. I think it is most likely the Chinese Federation!
