Chapter 843 The relationship between the military and the economy

The island country wants to invest? The first thing that everyone thought about was a conspiracy? Only after James told all the conditions, everyone understood the key.

Behind the islanders is of course the Soviet Union! The Soviet conspiracy is to make the United States acknowledge the current situation in South America! Damn it! How could all these opportunities be seized by the Soviets?

"We absolutely cannot agree. If the Soviets gained a foothold in South America, it would be an unacceptable consequence to both of us." Bush first expressed his disgust: "At that time, we could not tolerate the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba, which was the same as it is now. The entire America is our traditional sphere of influence. We cannot let the Soviets intervene, otherwise our strategic security of the United States will be further weakened."

Bush would not agree that Argentina became the Soviet sphere of influence, which is a severe strategic deterrent to the United States. This means that from now on, the United States will only be the United States' sphere of influence! The United States, like the former Empire of the Sun and Never Set, is about to begin to decline!

Argentina must not give up its troops, and this battle must be completed!

However, Bush's considerations did not represent the views of everyone in front of him. When he heard that new funds were added, Treasury Secretary Donald's eyes were already lit.

No matter where the funds come from, as long as you are willing to save the market and save the US stock market, the US will not collapse! As long as the US economy survives this cold winter, the US can still continue to develop!

At this time, funds from island countries are very important! As for the war in Argentina, even if it is won, what role can it play in the US economy? Now, European countries are afraid of the collapse of their own stock markets, and no one provides funds to the US. The US must rely on all the power it can rely on!

What's wrong with the island country? The island country was once a follower of the United States. Although it was a little unpleasant before, in the hearts of the island people, they still yearn for the Western world!

“I think we can think about this plan,” Donald said. “This is a great way to save our stock market and our economy.”

"No, Donald, if we do this, we are betraying our country!" Bush said: "The Soviets are trying to stop our struggle for South America. If we compromise this time, the Soviets will gradually erode our territory until we cut off all our tentacles! This is the Soviet conspiracy!"

"I don't know what the Soviets conspired. I just know that we didn't have much interest in South America. If we didn't blindly support Britain in this war between Argentina and Britain, then Argentina would never turn to the Soviet Union! The Cambridge Island, whether it's British or Argentina, are our traditional ally. However, we rely on our own force to force Argentina to the Soviet side!" Donald said: "The strength of our army is because of the strength of our economy. If our economic strength is gone, our army will decline rapidly. Now, we temporarily give up some and save our economy is the first priority. President Bush, you just like to fight wars, but forget that our pockets are empty."

"You idiot! If we don't have strong military strength, how can our economy be strong? We rely on our force to maintain the world order! Maintain our dominance of the dollar! Because of our repeated military failures, our economy has continued to decline! If we want to save the economy, we must be strong in the military!" Bush stood up and pointed at Donald's nose and shouted: "We compromised and concessions again and again, and as a result, the economic situation in the United States has deteriorated step by step. Now, God knows whether our stock market crisis is spontaneous or because of the Soviets' manipulation behind the scenes! Now, they use the excuse of providing funds to demand a ceasefire. In this Cabernet War, the Soviets are the ones who gain the benefits in the end! In short, as long as the Soviets want it, we will not give it to you!"

Bush Sr. was also angry. As a veteran, he watched the United States fail again and again, and the situation continued to deteriorate. He was also heartbroken, and he could not bear this!

What the Soviets wanted to do, they must not let them achieve their wishes!

"You know how to fight? Do you understand the economy?" Donald was also angry at Reagan's words and deeds: "Our economy is about to end. Now, even the stocks of shale oil companies are starting to fall! Our tax revenue this year will be reduced to less than half of last year. Apart from our social welfare and public expenses, we have no extra funds to the army, not a cent!"

"Then cut off social welfare, cut off public expenses, and continue to arm our army!" Reagan continued to raise the volume.

"You idiot, then our country will be over!"

"As long as there is an army, the country will not be over! You are the idiot!"

"Enough!" Reagan was finally angry as his subordinates fought against each other. Now, has the United States begun to decline in inevitable? I really didn't expect that he would do better than Carter!

Military first or economic first? Even Reagan couldn't make a choice.

"Casey, what do you think?" Reagan's hand trembled. He sat back on his chair and looked at the assistant beside him. CIA Director William Casey, who didn't speak much, was always the most capable. Reagan wanted to hear his thoughts.

"I am only responsible for intelligence, economic and political aspects, and I am not convenient to interrupt, but I do feel sad about the current situation." Casey said: "We in the United States, the economy and the military are the most powerful, and the economy and the military complement each other."

"After the end of World War II, we relied on gold reserves to replace the pound and became the world's currency. Then, as gold reserves decreased, our economy also faced a heavy blow. After that, we used oil to replace gold and boost our economy again. In this regard, the strength of our military power also played a key role. We provide protection to the countries in the Middle East and let them recognize the only system for the US dollar to settle oil."

"But now, our failure in the Middle East has made us unable to find a replacement for oil, and our dollar has returned and become hot money, which has caused this stock market crisis. At the same time, our economic decline has prevented us from supporting a huge armament." Casey said: "It is difficult for us to solve these problems, but I think our eyes may be able to take a longer view, for example, maybe we can find hope for our revitalization in Africa."
