Chapter 994: Kill the Financier
Soros did not show due concern, because in his opinion, the Slavic gray cattle can't play with finance at all, and after more than half a century of planned economy, it is simply difficult for a strongman to integrate with international standards in a short period of time, and Soros calculates that the Soviet Union's oil price income is used to support the construction of the Far East in the invincible hole, so now the Soviet Union is not as strong as it imagined, and the confidence can be seen just by announcing foreign exchange savings.

Erroneous analysis coupled with false intelligence, Soros made the indicated mistake that he overestimated his own strength and at the same time underestimated the financial resources of the Soviet Union. The half-truths and half-truths that circulated were originally a trap used to confuse Soros and others, and it was only after they made a move that they found out that these were all sets that the Monetary Authority had already planned.
The first day of the offensive quickly showed initial results, the exchange rate showed large fluctuations, Soros was very satisfied with the first wave of the offensive, in four or five hours through the means of shorting he has earned nearly a billion, but the Soviet counterattack also quickly launched, through the issuance of large bonds, raised the exchange rate of the ruble, and then promoted the exchange rate to rise sharply, as if the scene of the financial war in Hong Kong at that time appeared.
However, according to Soros's judgment, the Moscow government will have a weak follow-up after the first round of vigorous bailouts, after all, they are not as strong as China's capital, so Soros used nearly half of the account funds on hand to challenge the ruble's exchange rate.
But he never imagined that his rash decision would become the beginning of the collapse.
Lukashenko has long been in charge of the Financial Services Authority, personally supervising this invisible war, he has not yet taken office, and he does not have to take on the daily work of the prime minister, Yanayev threw this thorny issue to him, just to see the ability of the other party, to be appreciated by General Secretary Yanayev, at least he has to show some proud achievements.
Lukashenko, who has always been disgusted with capitalists and Western economic theories, has adopted the simplest and most brutal method to freeze accounts.
Any suspicious bank account in the Soviet Union, the Soviet official has the right to unconditionally freeze, and it must be an account in the Soviet Union, so as to reduce the appearance of certain speculative crocodiles who maliciously sell short.
In just one day of the international speculators' attack, the Financial Accounts Authority locked down two banks and hundreds of accounts with suspicious flows. Lukashenko froze them all almost without a second stop, and then went to talk to the two hapless bank presidents.
Chatting in the capacity of the future prime minister of the Soviets, few people can withstand such pressure.
Lukashenko always spoke very calmly and asked. "I heard that your bank is involved in suspected malicious short-selling activities that disrupt the financial markets?"
"Nope."
The president of the bank shook his head, and almost patted his chest to assure, "I swear that I have absolutely not been involved in any illegal financial activities." ”
Lukashenko hummed undeniably and greeted the people around him, "Call the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no, call the comrades of the KGB in, it is no longer possible to talk to him calmly." I think the KGB comrades know better than I know how to get this man to speak. ”
The bank president looked at Lukashenko with a panicked expression, and the other party just said very calmly, "Don't worry, the KGB's interrogation methods have always been very stable, and others can't find any traces of abuse from you." Do you know about waterboarding? It is to cover your face with a cloth and pour water on your face from time to time until you can't bear it. This practice is insidious and vicious, and no trace of harm can be found. ”
The bank president is pale, and he may become the first person to be waterboarded for financial fraud.
"If you want to confess, now is the time."
Lukashenko has always maintained a eloquent tone like an old friend, but he almost paralyzed the head of the bank. He soon confessed to his dealings with international speculators, including allowing their accounts to flow freely in a short period of time, and taking bribes.
Lukashenko smiled and nodded, instructing the people at the Financial Authority to record everything.
Lukashenko didn't even spend much effort on the first trash fish, it was easier than he imagined. However, he is extremely cautious when it comes to restricting the flow of funds in suspicious accounts, as Yanayev has said that it is better not to use such measures unless absolutely necessary, as in the long run it will lose the confidence of investors.
In that case, he had no choice but to impose the second restriction.
Soros was enjoying the sweetness of the glass, he was sitting on the bed enjoying the joy of victory, and the palm and white sand outside the window did not attract his attention, but the boring curves of the financial markets were the only thing that could attract his attention. Staring at the rise of the curve on the computer, he was about to buy at a low price when the time was right, but found that several accounts in his hands were frozen.
"Well, what's going on?"
Soros is a little strange, he has changed several accounts in a row, and it is the same situation.
He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and at this time, the phone ringed next to him, and Soros, who was sitting on the bed, didn't even have time to put on his slippers, so he hurriedly picked up the phone.
The voice on the other end of the microphone was unusually anxious.
"Oh no, Manager Soros, now turn on the TV and go to the news station, now the Soviet Union is attacking us."
Soros picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and just in time to see the spokesman of the Financial Authority being interviewed by reporters, and what he said shocked Soros.
"The governor of the People's Bank of the Soviet Union has been arrested by the Moscow police in accordance with the law on suspicion of participating in the disruption of the domestic financial order, and our financial management bureau said that it will further thoroughly investigate the behavior of disrupting the financial order and stabilize the market order."
The glass in his hand was shattered, and the sharp glass was torn apart. Soros stared at the news dumbfounded, not believing that Moscow actually did not play its cards according to the script, and adopted the way of taking the sword sideways.
Block your account and see what else you can do to make waves.
"Manager Soros, are you listening on the phone?"
The tone on the other side was extremely anxious, because he still had to rely on Soros to give instructions for the next step.
However, before Soros could speak, several other phones rang at the same time, completely throwing him into a chaotic situation.
This group of financial speculators clearly underestimated the strength of the Soviet Union and the way in which they handled the problem. The person on the other end of the phone reported the bad news to him almost with trembling voices.
"There are two financial speculators...... Killed......"
