Chapter 843： Military and Economic Relations

Is the island country going to invest? In everyone's heart, the first thing that comes to mind is, is this a conspiracy? After James told all the conditions, everyone understood the key.

Behind the island people, of course, is the Soviet Union! The conspiracy of the Soviets is to make the United States acquiesce to the status quo of South America! Damn it! Why were all these opportunities seized by the Soviets?

"We absolutely can't agree. If the Soviet forces have a foothold in South America, it will be an unacceptable consequence for both of us." Bush first expressed his disgust: "In those days, we could not tolerate the Soviet Union's deployment of missiles in Cuba, as it is now. The whole of America is our traditional sphere of influence, and we cannot allow the Soviets to intervene, otherwise, our strategic security of the United States will be further weakened.”

Bush will not agree. Argentina has become the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, which is a severe strategic deterrent to the United States. America, like the empire on which the sun never sets, is about to begin to decline!

Argentina, must not stop the army, must finish this battle!

However, Bush Sr.'s consideration does not represent the views of everyone in front of him. Hearing that new funds have been added, Treasury Secretary Donald's eyes are already bright.

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

At this time, funds from island countries are very important! As for the war in Argentina, even if it were won, what effect would it have on the U.S. economy? Now, European countries are afraid of the collapse of their own stock markets, and no one will provide funds to the United States, and the United States must rely on everything it can rely on!

What happened to the island country? The island country used to be a follower of the United States. Although it made some unpleasant things in the past, in the hearts of the island country people, they still yearn for the western world!

"I think we can look at this," Donald said. "It's a great way to save our stock market and save our economy."

"No, Donald, if we do this, we're betraying our country!" Bush said. "The Soviets are trying to get us to stop fighting for South America. If we compromise this time, the Soviets will gradually eat away at ours. Territory, until all our tentacles are cut off! This is a conspiracy of the Soviets!"

"I don't know what conspiracy the Soviets have. I only know that we didn't have much interest in South America. In this war between Argentina and the United Kingdom, if we didn't blindly support the United Kingdom, then Argentina would never fall to the Soviet Union! The Falkland Islands, whether British or Argentine, are still our traditional allies. However, we relied on our own force to force Argentina to the Soviet side!" Donald said: "Our army Our strength is because of our economic strength. If our economic strength is gone, our military will decline rapidly. Now, we should give up some temporarily to save our economy. Bush President, you love wars and forget that our pockets are empty."

"You idiot! If we don't have a strong military, how can our economy be strong? We rely on our force to maintain the world order! To maintain our dollar hegemony! Because we have been in the military time and time again. The failure of the United States has caused our economy to continue to decline! If we want to save the economy, we must be strong militarily!" Bush stood up, pointed at Donald's nose and roared: "We have compromised, backed down again and again, and the result has been , let our economic situation in the United States deteriorate step by step, and now, it is out of control! God knows whether our stock market crisis is spontaneous, or is the result of manipulation by the Soviets behind the scenes! Now, they provide Funds are used as an excuse to ask us to stop the war. In this Falklands War, it is the Soviets who will benefit in the end! In short, as long as the Soviets want, we will not give it!"

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 these!

What the Soviets want to do, they must not be allowed to achieve their wishes!

"You know war? Do you understand the economy?" Donald was also angry at Reagan's words and deeds: "Our economy is about to end, and now, even the stocks of shale oil companies are starting to fall! Our taxes this year will be lower. It's less than half of last year's, except for our social welfare and public spending, we don't have any extra funds for the military at all, not even a cent!"

"Then cut social welfare, cut public spending, and keep arming our military!" Reagan continued to raise his voice.

"You idiot, then our country is doomed!"

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

"Enough!" Reagan watched his men fight each other, and finally got angry. Now, has the United States begun to decline inevitably? I really didn't expect I can't do as well as Carter!

Military first, or economy first? Even Reagan had no choice.

"Cathy, what do you think?" Regan's hands trembled a little. He sat back in his chair and looked at the assistant beside him. CIA Director William Casey, who doesn't talk much, but has always been the most capable, Reagan wanted to hear his thoughts.

"I'm only in charge of intelligence, economics and politics, so I can't interject, but I do feel very sad about the current situation." Casey said: "We, the United States, are the most powerful in terms of economy and military. Yes, the economy and the military complement each other.”

"After the end of World War II, we relied on gold reserves to replace the British pound and became the world's currency. Then, with the reduction of gold reserves, our economy was also hit hard. After that, we used oil instead of gold to restore the Our economic revitalization, and in this, our military strength, also plays a key role, and we provide protection to those countries in the Middle East, allowing them to recognize the only system for the settlement of oil in the dollar."

"But now, our failure in the Middle East has made us unable to find an alternative to oil, and our dollar has returned to become hot money, which has caused this stock market crisis. At the same time, our economic decline has made it impossible for us to support the huge "It is very difficult for us to solve these problems, but I think our vision may be more long-term. For example, we may be able to find the revitalization of the United States from Africa, for example. hope."
