Chapter 508 The Whole World Stands at Attention, Dragon Country Tests ICBM

"Why did the Jinlong Technology Index futures fall? The Hang Seng Index and the Weighted Index futures are also turning downward. Who is dumping the market?"

"Are you crazy? Choosing to short the upward trend, I'm afraid you want to go bankrupt!"

"It's still being dumped, it's still being dumped. It's down 2%. A lot of money is running away. Could something have happened?"

"It's very likely!"

"I'll run away first!"

No one expected that the Dragon Country stock market, which had risen for seven consecutive trading days, would see a sharp drop in index futures on the eve of the eighth trading day.

Those who often invest know that the global stock market trading hours are often six to eight hours, while futures trading can be traded around the clock.

Index futures are also called leading indicators.

Why do you say that?

Take the Hang Seng Index as an example. After the closing at 4 pm, the single-day trading day ends, but the index futures are still trading. At this time, the index futures can be used to judge the trend of the Hang Seng Index tomorrow.

For example, after the Hang Seng Index closes, the futures are still rising, so there is a high probability that the market will open tomorrow with an upward trend, but if it falls, it may go down.

Of course.

Investment is not that simple.

Whether it is the rise of index futures or the rise of stock indexes, it is possible that there will be a sudden drop at a certain node.

But the problem now is that there are fourteen technology companies leading the way in the Dragon Country stock market, and the momentum is strong, and it should not fall.

Anyone who knows a little financial knowledge knows that investment cannot go against the trend.

Going against the trend is like going out to sell cotton-padded jackets in summer and selling T-shirts in winter. If you can sell them, you will burn incense and bless them.

Whether it is investment or doing other things, you should follow the trend. Going against the trend often leads to a particularly bad fall, and less than one in ten million people can succeed.

But now, someone has actually smashed the three major index futures of Jinlong, Hang Seng, and weighted. Obviously, something happened.

When countless investors were confused, a well-informed Douyin blogger released a video to remind his followers.

[Attention all fans and friends, many banks in the United States have announced bankruptcy and restructuring, and the capital market is collapsing. This seems to be a good thing for us, but it is actually bad news.

Because the bankrupt banks are all gathering places for Asian depositors, according to insider information, our Chinese savings in the United States have been eroded by at least 200 billion US dollars, which shows that the United States is almost dead, so it has taken a risky move to prevent you Chinese funds from flowing back to Longguo. Now international capital is worried that the United States will take more extreme measures, so they are stampeding out of our investment market.

To put it bluntly, they are afraid that the United States will start S3. Everyone can understand it, and everyone looks at the prices of gold and crude oil, they are all crazy. Now the situation is a bit unclear. Everyone should be cautious about the stock market tomorrow. ]

When the blogger interpreted the bad news, many retail investors woke up from their dreams.

[Xiao Ai No. 7]: "Fuck, that's what happened. No wonder the three major index futures suddenly plummeted. I thought our listed companies had committed financial fraud!"

[Zhan Jian Zou Tian Ya]: "It really has the taste of the precursor of S3. The US technology and financial systems have collapsed one after another. It is not impossible to fight to the death. What is our military strength?"

[Cat Doesn't Eat Ginger]: "Let's not talk about our military strength for now, but this time the old US has dropped a mushroom bomb on our capital market. The Jinlong Technology Index Futures has fallen by 3% and is still going down!"

[Lao Wang Doesn't Invest]: "Tomorrow I will prepare to flee the stock market as soon as possible. This is terrible. The US feels a bit like a mad dog, and it wants to bite people before it dies."

Retail investors woke up from their dreams, and other financial bloggers also released videos to remind their fans. The three major index futures of the Dragon Country stock market also ushered in an epic plunge.

At 9:30 pm, the futures of the Jinlong Technology Index fell 7%, the Hang Seng Index and the Weighted Index fell 10% and 12% respectively, which made all investors panic.

But on the contrary, the US stock market, which had just opened, began to turn upward, with the Nasdaq, Dow Jones and S&P indices rising by 10%, 6% and 7% respectively. International funds seemed to have re-examined the value of the US stock market.

However, rather than saying that international funds are re-examining the value of the US stock market, it is better to say that they are looking for a relatively safe place.

The teacher once said that the regime comes from the barrel of a gun. If you don’t have military strength, you are a lamb to be slaughtered, so international funds choose to return to the United States for investment.

The United States has hundreds of military bases around the world, as well as F22 Raptor fighters, B2 stealth bombers, and more than a dozen aircraft carriers. Its military strength is recognized as the world's first.

On the other hand, the real military level of Longguo has not been officially and completely revealed.

If the United States is really anxious, international capital thinks that the United States may win, so the funds will run back to the United States overnight.

…

The capital of Dragon Country.

The office of the village chief of the Securities Regulatory Commission.

Xiao Gang looked at the plummeting index futures and could not help but slam the table and angrily said, "The Dragon Country stock market has finally risen for a few days, and the damn Americans are out to make trouble again."

According to the Securities Regulatory Commission, the Dragon Country stock market will rise for at least a month this time, because technology companies such as Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Jiangyu Technology have taken the lead in promoting it.

But what about now?

Not to mention a full month, it hasn't even been fifteen days!

Xiao Gang combined the information he had in his hands and learned that international capital was worried that the United States would go completely crazy. After hesitating for a few seconds, he called Wang Shan to explain the situation.

Wang Shan was also furious when he learned the news. The last incident at the signal base station had not been long ago, and now it has come back again.

"I know about this. Isn't it because international capital thinks that our Dragon Kingdom is unable to protect their funds? Then show us your sword!"

Wang Shan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and Xiao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly asked: "Want to show off armaments?"

"That's right, it's time to show it off!"

As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, he continued: "Okay, let's talk later. I'll first ask what kind of armament can be used as a deterrent."

"Okay old chief."

Xiao Gang suppressed the joy in his heart and responded.

Now international capital is worried about the United States overturning the table. The only way to resolve their concerns is to show off military equipment and show off its muscles.

After Wang Shan hung up the phone, he immediately called Song Weiguo in the Fengtian Military Region.

"Dududu——"

After a few busy signals, the call was connected.

"old…"

Before Song Weiguo could speak, Wang Shan lowered his voice and said: "Intercontinental missiles haven't been tested for decades, right? Go study it and give our capital market a gift."

"..."

Song Weiguo was a little confused.

What's going on?

Use intercontinental missiles to put fireworks on the capital market?

Although he also knew some news, saying that after the Longguo stock market data exchange, it rose by 80% in seven days, and Longxing Group even created a staggering increase of more than ten times, but would it be too extravagant to use intercontinental missiles to put fireworks?

We must know that the cost of an intercontinental missile is about 3 billion. Song Weiguo is a little confused by celebrating 3 billion.

"Old chief, are you kidding?"

Song Weiguo hesitated.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Wang Shan asked.

"Although it doesn't look like it, it is a cost of 3 billion. As you know, the Fengtian Military Region will also allocate part of the funds to develop the latest model of drones."

When Song Weiguo said these words, Wang Shan knew what he meant.

"Okay, okay, don't bother with the ink. I'll apply for military funding for you. You arrange the intercontinental missiles as soon as possible. The bigger the sensation, the better. Do you understand?"

“Bigger is better?”

“The bigger the better!”

"Then I have to study it carefully."

"Then go and study it, and do it quickly, don't be too grindy."

"Guaranteed to complete the task as quickly as possible!"

After the two hung up the phone, Song Weiguo, who was far away in the Fengtian Military Region, immediately called his deputy Zhang Xiaoping and said: "Notify all departments immediately and have a meeting in the strategic command room in fifteen minutes."

"yes!"

Zhang Xiaoping responded loudly.

Not a moment.

Leaders of various departments in the Fengtian Military Region gathered in the strategic command room. Song Weiguo glanced around and raised his voice: "Just now! I received an order from my superiors, saying that the Longguo capital market is rising very well, and they want us to have fun with the fireworks!"

"Putting off fireworks?"

"We can at best set off cannons, but I can't do fireworks, Chief Song."

"Yeah, how should I do this?"

The department leaders present were confused. They thought they were going to fight Zhu Rihe again and conduct military-level exercises, but they didn't expect that they would be asked to put fireworks in the capital market.

Looking at the people who were looking at each other, Song Weiguo suddenly raised his voice several times.

"Wenyuan."

"arrive!"

The moment a middle-aged man with a strong build and sharp eyes heard the word "Wenyuan", he subconsciously straightened his back and responded.

"Notify other military region troops that we will conduct military exercises in the Bohai Sea, and also notify the 093 naval unit and missile unit to load Dongfeng intercontinental missiles onto the ship!"

"yes!"

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. He did not ask why. Song Weiguo told him to load, so he had to let people load him.

Others' expressions changed slightly. What level of exercise actually used intercontinental missiles?

It is important to know that intercontinental missiles are not simple. They are generally used with nuclear warheads and are the ultimate armament.

Even in Zhu Rihe's drill, Man Guangzhi never used the Dongfeng intercontinental missile, because it is a big killer weapon of the Dragon Kingdom. One Dongfeng Express can carry several nuclear warheads, and it can be called a doomsday weapon.

"Wang Zhan."

"arrive!"

Another person answered.

Song Weiguo was full of momentum and said in a deep voice: "Planning the landing point of intercontinental missiles. What I want is to maximize influence. The bigger the public opinion stirred up, the better. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear!"

"Invesco."

"arrive!"

"Notify the United Nations that our Fengtian Military Region is conducting an intercontinental missile test-firing exercise to give them a shot in the arm so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"receive!"

"Zhaosong."

…

Under Song Weiguo's deployment, all departments of the Fengtian Military Region took action. The heads of several military regions next door couldn't help but rush to the Bohai Sea overnight after seeing the telegram news.

And on the other side.

United Nations Headquarters Building.

Offices in various countries have received notices of Dragon Country's intercontinental missile test-firing exercise. In an instant, countless people were restless.

U.S. Representative Alexi Morgan’s eyes were full of disbelief, and his hand holding the paper letter was trembling.

Intercontinental missile!

That's an intercontinental missile!

If he remembered correctly, the last time Long Guo tested an intercontinental missile could be traced back to 1980, nearly forty years ago.

What do you want to do now when you suddenly test fire?

And those who know about weapons and armaments know that intercontinental missiles are generally used with nuclear warheads. To put it bluntly, this is a nuclear bomb test military exercise.

"Is it possible that Longguo wants to strike first?" Alexi Morgan's body was trembling. He did not forget Einstein's words.

Someone once asked Einstein to predict when the S3 season would start. He replied that he did not know when the S3 season would start, but it was certain that the weapons used by humans in the S4 season would be sticks and stones.

Yes!

He predicted that after the end of S3, humans would restart!

However, this is not without basis. Modern warfare is not comparable to the past. Even if nuclear bombs are not used, thermobaric bombs can make a regiment lose its combat effectiveness instantly.

When Alexi Morgan passed the message, the United States immediately sounded the military alarm and entered the highest level of combat preparation.

No one knows whether Longguo is conducting a real exercise or a fake exercise.

When Davic learned the news, he quickly dispatched a plane to Britain.

Although he was ruthless, he still cared about his life.

Before leaving, he did not forget to send a voice message to Wei Yan.

"I need to go back to the Rothschild family estate in Britain. Wei Yan, you will take charge of the US Federal Reserve for me first. If you have any questions, call me."

After successfully sending it, Davic left without stopping.

Not only Davic, but also the financial tycoons on Wall Street hurriedly booked tickets and fled, fearing that there would be emergencies in this Dragon Country exercise.

The Jewish consortium fled in all directions, and the Ansa consortium saw it, and they also took this opportunity to try to regain control of important economic industries.

At the same time.

Parliament Hill in Washington.

Renato Marotta looked at the document report and couldn't help but angrily scolded: "Damn Jewish capital, it actually used the bankruptcy of banks to wipe out the Chinese in the United States. No wonder Dragon Country suddenly conducted an intercontinental missile test. This will not really start the S3 season, right?"

He was a little uncertain.

But he understood that deployment must be made.

Of course.

The most important thing now is to find an air-raid shelter to hide in, so that the exercise test will not become a real one. He also cherishes his life.

Not only the United States, but other countries are a little uneasy, especially neighboring countries such as island countries, Vietnam and the peninsula.

When the whole world is panicking, the Longguo military issued a detailed announcement of the exercise and the final landing point of the intercontinental missile.

[Announcement of intercontinental ballistic missile test launch]

[In order to test the performance of weapons and equipment, improve the training level of troops, and safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, according to the routine arrangement of annual military training, the Longguo Rocket Force will test-fire intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Bohai Sea at 8:00 am on March 20, 2016.

The intercontinental ballistic missiles tested this time carry training simulation warheads and will pass through the airspace above the peninsula and island countries and fall into the designated waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Before the test launch, we have strictly followed international law and international practice and notified relevant countries in advance through diplomatic channels to ensure regional peace and stability and avoid any misunderstanding or misjudgment. ]

As soon as the announcement was issued, Yue monkeys breathed a sigh of relief, but the peninsula and the island countries were on edge.

Flying over their own airspace, they only hoped that it was a simulated warhead.

As the announcement was issued, comments on the foreign network had exploded.

[Yoshizawa Taketa] (Japan): "Oh my God, Longguo tested an intercontinental missile. This is a naked show of muscle. Can they succeed?"

[Cullo Coburn] (England): "The success rate of intercontinental missile launches is less than 40%, even the United States can only achieve 50%, but Longguo's announcement gives me the feeling that they can launch 100% successfully."

[Dong Shaoyang in the United States] (US): "If the motherland needs it, you can lock my IP address and fire at me!"

[Rachel Monroe] (Germany): "I have to stock up on food. I always feel that the S3 season is about to start. I don't want to eat expensive bread."

Overseas social media has exploded. The world has focused on the test launch of this intercontinental missile, including the international funds that have just withdrawn from Longguo.

Perhaps many people don't know the significance of intercontinental missile test launches.

Let's put it this way, as long as you successfully test launch an intercontinental missile, it is equivalent to having the ability to "nuclear bomb wash the ground".

Yes!

Nuclear bomb wash the ground ability!

As we all know, there are three ways to drop nuclear bombs, one is strategic aircraft drop, one is nuclear submarine, and the other is the combination of nuclear warheads and missiles.

Using strategic bombers to drop, it is easy to be intercepted.

Nuclear submarines are easy to be intercepted and need to fight near the coast.

Only the combination of nuclear warheads and intercontinental missiles can achieve the goal of taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away.

Intercontinental missile test launches are not simple. Three of the five permanent members of the Security Council have failed in test launches, with a success rate of less than 50%. If you want to simply summarize the difficulties of test launching intercontinental missiles, it can be divided into three points.

1. Engine.

Intercontinental missiles require advanced rocket engine technology, because intercontinental missiles fly outside the atmosphere most of the time, so rocket engines with their own oxidizers must be used.

Furthermore, the weight of an intercontinental missile is basically over 40 tons, and the ballistic altitude is over 1,000 kilometers, which requires the rocket engine to have a huge thrust.

The technical threshold for manufacturing a high-thrust rocket engine is extremely high, and only a few countries can master it at present.

2. Navigation and guidance system

Due to the strategic regulations of the Dragon Kingdom, only missiles with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers can be called intercontinental missiles.

A range of 8,000 kilometers requires a high-precision navigation and guidance system to ensure that the missile can accurately hit the target.

3. Internal stability.

An intercontinental missile is a system composed of hundreds of thousands of complex combinations with completely different properties, materials, configurations, and processes.

If there is a slight flaw, the intercontinental missile may explode in mid-air like the space rocket of the island country, with only a small sound.

There are currently only five permanent members of the countries that can solve these three points.

But there are only three countries above that can successfully launch.

An arrow shot after forty years also attracted Chen Xing's attention.

Taking into account the recent bankruptcy of many banks in the United States, international funds were afraid of overturning the table and fleeing the Dragon Kingdom. He had already guessed the true purpose of testing intercontinental missiles.

Aren’t international funds afraid of security issues and afraid that the United States will overturn the table if it is on the verge of death?

good!

Then show off your muscles!

See if it dares to flip the table!

This is just like Iraq in the past. The United States took washing powder and said it was a weapon of mass destruction, and directly sent troops to loot resources.

What if Iraq really existed at that time?

Does it still dare to be unscrupulous?

The answer is obvious.

When the time is right, you must show off your muscles, otherwise people will really think you are a soft persimmon and things will become even more uncontrollable.

As long as this test launch is successful, the whole world will have to weigh it again.

Because using intercontinental missiles to clear the ground is no joke.

…

The next morning.

A large number of people from the Dragon Kingdom got up early, and some went to cities near the Bohai Sea to witness this intercontinental missile test.

It seems that in order to expand the influence, reporters from the state station also arrived at the scene.

"Hello, viewers, we are currently in Jincheng, Bohai Sea, and I am Song Wen, a first-line reporter from China Taiwan."

"Because the launch city of Pancheng has been evacuated and blocked, we can only give you a general view of the launch process from a distance in Jincheng. Following the direction of my finger, you can see a warship parked in the waters near Pancheng. The details are The model is not yet known, but what is certain is that it will be used as a launch carrier.”

The national TV station broadcast live around the world. When they saw intercontinental missiles being launched from warships, people around the world who were paying attention to this incident took a breath.

Launching missiles from silos is extremely difficult and has trapped several countries. How about launching one from a Dragon Kingdom warship?

Standing at the door of the air-raid shelter, Renato Marotta watched the live broadcast and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God, is this the fifth launch method of intercontinental missiles?"

As we all know, there are four launch methods for intercontinental missiles, namely underground launch from underground silos, underwater launch from nuclear submarines, mobile launch from roadbed railway and mobile launch from roadbed road.

Each of these four types of launch has its own advantages and different difficulties. Among them, underground launch from underground wells is the most common and has the least difficulty.

That is, the least difficult underground silo launch. The Mao Xiong's chamber exploded. You can imagine how difficult it is to launch an intercontinental missile.

But now!

Battleship loading and launching?

What kind of material can withstand temperatures of thousands of degrees?

While the whole world was stunned and waiting with bated breath, Song Weiguo personally came to the front line of the exercise. He glanced at the time, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Everyone is here, listen to my order, countdown to the last minute."

"59!"

"58!"

"57!"

As he counted down, the missile engineers on the warship held their breath and put their hands on the switches of the instruments they controlled.

As the countdown came to the last ten seconds, the missile engineers turned on the switches in front of them in turn. The engineer in charge of the ignition button also opened the transparent protective cover and placed his palm on it.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"ignition!"

"ignition!"

When the red button was pressed, white smoke billowed from the warship deck, and an intercontinental missile with flames spraying from the bottom shot straight into the sky.

The global military bloggers and senior military officials who saw this scene were stunned on the spot. No one expected that the Dragon Kingdom would actually launch an intercontinental missile from a warship.

This means that when the Dragon Kingdom warship sails in other sea areas in the future, you have to judge whether it is carrying intercontinental missiles, because it may be carrying nuclear warheads!
