Chapter 840: The Crisis of World War

Stock stock market crash, a terrible stock market crash! The stock market crash that occurred in October 1982 swept across the United States on Monday, and began to spread in the Western world on Tuesday.

Industry in the entire Western world has many connections. Although this stock market crash was mainly a problem of the United States itself, it quickly affected other Western worlds after it occurred. In Hong Kong, Macau, Britain, and Western Europe, the stock markets all saw a significant decline, and countries were suddenly filled with grief.

At the same time, the news of a stock market crash in the Western world also spread to the Eastern world and to Moscow.

So far, although the Soviet Union is also carrying out market economy reforms and many companies are decentralizing their autonomy, the Soviet Union's industrial foundation is still state-owned, and so far, the Soviet Union has no such thing as the stock market.

Stocks were issued by enterprises in order to raise funds and go public. Until now, the Soviet Union's economic reform has not yet involved reforms in capital operations. Therefore, this stock market turmoil in the Western world will not have any adverse impact on the Soviet Union.

However, this incident still attracted great attention from Moscow! After all, the emergence of this situation was also unfavorable to the Soviet Union.

"The domestic economy of the United States has suffered a heavy blow. Under such circumstances, the danger of Americans launching war will be greatly increased." As the Secretary of Defense in charge of military affairs, Ustinov carefully analyzed all factors at the first time, which is really bad news!

The Soviet Union now uses various means to continuously create pressure on the United States, but these pressures are within the scope that the United States can withstand normally! The Soviet Union's goal is of course to defeat the enemy without fighting. All kinds of pressures make the United States give up its plan to attack Argentina and maintain the status quo. As a result, the Soviet Union obtained a reliable naval station in the South Atlantic and achieved a new breakthrough. At the same time, using Argentina as a springboard, it continues to develop the Soviet power in South America and presses against the United States step by step.

But now, the development of the situation is unexpected. Americans are likely to be desperate! The decline in the real economy of Americans depends entirely on oil income and the boom of the stock market. Now that the stock market has collapsed, the US economy is facing the danger of collapse. At this time, if the American rulers deliberately promote it, it is easy to unify people's hearts and solve it by launching wars to the outside world!

Of course, the Soviet Union is not afraid of fighting with the United States, but in this situation, the Soviet Union has the advantage and can completely erode the living space of the Americans step by step. If the Americans fight madly at this time, it will not be much beneficial to the Soviet Union! If the Soviet Union wins, it will be a tragic victory, just like World War II in history. Although the Soviet Union won, the men in the country almost lost all the men! The country's economy plummeted.

Not cost-effective!

"Yes, we must make the worst plans." Gromiko also said: "This is a big shock to the entire capitalist world. We must be highly vigilant to prevent them from launching World War III."

If there is any closest time to the World War in the Cold War, it is probably the Cuban missile crisis and the current US stock market collapse! And this time it is even worse because the United States is already at a loss!

When a beast is desperate, it will definitely rise up and fight back, and when the Americans are desperate, the consequences will be quite terrible!

"General Secretary, our Indian Ocean Fleet, General Andrei requested a video call." At this moment, Marshal Ogalkov said.

Video calls! In this era, it is absolutely rare! After all, due to electronic technology, the transmission bandwidth is limited. A video call needs to occupy almost all the transmission bandwidth of a communication satellite. Unless it is an emergency, it would be nice to have a voice call.

"Take it." Andropov said. Every time when encountering a crisis, Andre is rushing to the front. Now Andre must have a way to resolve the crisis in front of him!

There was a snowflake on the screen, and finally, the image appeared. Behind Andre was the familiar structure of the cabin. It seemed that Andre was still staying on the Soviet aircraft carrier.

"Hello, General Secretary, everyone." Andre's voice came over a long distance and passed it over, with a few seconds of delay: "I'm very happy to see you. You must be worried about the US stock market crash, right? I have a solution that can solve the current problem."

Just after receiving the news of the US stock market crash, Andre immediately became anxious. If the Americans started a war like crazy, the Soviet Union would really not be able to bear it. At least, Argentina's interests would have to be abandoned!

After all, it takes time to transport anti-ship ballistic missiles to Argentina, and they also take time to deploy them, so they cannot quickly form combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the laser weapon that launched the sky is only a trial production process now. The first experiment has not been carried out yet. I don’t know how high the success rate is. If both sides start planting mushrooms at this time, the Soviet Union will suffer a loss.

Andrei has such a plan to cheat money through the stock market and sweep away American wealth, but it is definitely not now. After all, if Americans are forced to get angry at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!

This stock market crash suddenly broke Andre's arrangement, and at the same time, Andre was not discouraged. After thinking for a night, Andre's mind finally matured. After trying to answer the video call, Andre was no longer worried, but excited.

"We use economic means to solve the problem. Now, it is an opportunity." Andre said: "The US stock market crash, and we can control the shares of many large American companies at extremely low prices. We inject funds to save American companies. For the United States, this is also the most suitable solution to save their economy, and Americans will never refuse."

When everyone present was stunned when they heard Andre’s plan, what was this called a plan? The Soviet Union provided funds to rescue American companies? Let the Soviet Union save its opponent? Andrei had been floating on the Atlantic for too long and was shaking his brain? Besides, if the Americans were willing to accept it, that would be a hell!

"Andre, there seems to be nothing to do with your proposal****?" Gromiko asked. As a former ambassador to the United States, Gromiko knew that Andre's plan really didn't work.

"Of course, if we take the initiative, it will definitely not work. However, aren't we very friendly with island countries? We can let island countries come forward. After all, before we were with us, island countries were quite close to the Western world, and many island countries companies have investments in the United States. Moreover, now that the island countries are so developed, it is absolutely fine to free up some of their funds to inject into the US stock market." Andre said.
