Chapter 96: Please Your Majesty Give More Prayers

When Zhou Ming was still worried about the confession of the beautiful reporter Monica, the Mexican financial crisis planned and initiated by him had already begun. Later, an issue of the major financial events journal in the 1990s published by the Wall Street Journal gave the most detailed description of this.

On July 28, 1991, it was a clear day. The new Mexican president announced to the world on the platform in front of his presidential palace that he had recaptured the city of Pansas from the Indian Revolutionary Army. While all the Mexicans were celebrating the victory of the government army, their financial system was quietly collapsed, and the first thing to be affected was their currency peso.

No one knows when the depreciation of the peso began. Perhaps before the Mexican government forces entered Pansas City, foreign investors began to sell the peso. It is reported that the New York Stock Exchange opened on the morning of the 28th, and the Mexican peso had already fallen by 05%. If New York trading is just the beginning, then the subsequent Associated Press news caused the peso to collapse completely.

Almost at the same time the Mexican president announced the good news, Associated Press reporter Monica published an article pointing out that the Mexican government did not fight against the Indians at all, and the president just lied to the world. At the same time, Monica also pointed out that the Indian revolution was because he was suffering from very cruel serfs in Mexico, and the Mexican economy developed at the expense of the interests of these lower-class people. This is a way to kill chickens and get eggs.

This news shocked the world and forced investors from all over the world to start evacuating Mexico. The fluctuations in the foreign exchange market clearly proved this.

On that day, the Mexican peso exchange rate against the US dollar fell by more than ten percentage points! And the next day, the situation became even worse. Although the Mexican government was trying hard to emphasize to the world that the peso exchange rate would follow the US dollar and insisted that the peso did not depreciate, obviously no investors were willing to believe it, so the peso depreciation the next day actually exceeded 15%.

On the third day, due to the continuous withdrawal of international investment, Mexico's foreign exchange reserves were greatly reduced, and a large number of short-term bonds he had issued were also sold. In this case, the Mexican government was forced to give up his ten-year policy of following the dollar.

The Mexican Finance Minister publicly announced that the Mexican peso depreciated by 15%, which was the last decision of the Mexican government, but this decision immediately caused panic in the international market and exacerbated the depreciation of the peso. According to statistics, within two hours after the Mexican government announced the depreciation of the peso, the depreciation of the peso reached an astonishing 20%, while the depreciation of the Mexican peso exceeded the terrifying 50%, which is extremely rare in the history of world finance.

Perhaps you don’t have a deep understanding of these simple numbers. Then, after these three days, when you walk on the streets of Mexico City, you will see many people walking on the streets, holding various boxes and bags in your hands, containing a lot of things.

They were all people whose companies went bankrupt or lost their jobs by companies laying off employees, which was just the worst hit at the beginning. Later, as the financial crisis continued to intensify, more companies went bankrupt and more Mexicans lost their jobs. According to statistics from an international organization at that time, in the second half of 1991, more than 20 million people lost their jobs, which exceeded one-fifth of Mexico's total population.

The direct result of this was that in the spring of the following year, there were long queues at the entrances of various churches, and countless Mexicans came to the church on schedule every day to receive free food and water provided by the church.

The originally prosperous streets now only have a few

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The shop is still open, and more shops have been closed. Mexicans can be seen everywhere on the road. They are all people who have to sell their property to have money to buy things. Perhaps in the past, these people included corporate executives or even bosses, but now they only have one identity, that is, the poor.

...

These are not something Zhou Ming can do, because he has even more headaches.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are so amazing, do you know? In just these three days, the Mexican peso plummeted, which made me nearly 2 billion US dollars in profits. I think with this money, I can finally repair the entire Buckingham Palace, or not only Buckingham Palace, but also my Windsor Castle, etc.." Queen Elizabeth kept talking on the phone, and it could be heard that she was in a good mood.

She was in a good mood, but Zhou Ming had some problems: "Her Majesty the Queen, the Mexican government has added troops to Yutanka again. As the Queen of England, can you think of a way?"

Zhou Ming was helpless when he asked Elizabeth for help, because when the peso began to depreciate, the Mexican government was like crazy and ordered the government troops to press against Yutanka.

Just before Zhou Ming called Elisabe, Liu Qiangguo brought an Indian squad to ambush the government's outpost troops. However, although Liu Qiangguo fought very beautifully in this ambush battle, the Mexican government troops did not retreat at all. Instead, they continued to increase their troops. Zhou Ming even opened the window and could see the warships cruising on the sea, which seemed to be swearing to stop until he wiped out these Indian Revolutionary Army.

However, Zhou Ming would not simply believe that the Mexican government came for these tens of thousands of Indians. It must be that the depreciation of the peso made the church organization that dominated Mexico angry, or that Jefferson also told the church about his own affairs, so they wanted to kill themselves at all costs.

Now on the narrow peninsula of Utanca, there are increasing Mexican government forces in front of them, and there are warships on the sea behind them. Zhou Ming can only choose to ask Elisabe for help. After all, Britain is also an old-fashioned power, and there is another church behind her. She has also helped her make so much money, and it is unreasonable that she can't think of a solution.

"I'm sorry, Yutanka is a territory of Mexico. Even if I am the Queen of England, I can't interfere in other countries' internal affairs, right?" Elizabeth continued, "But Mr. Zhou Ming, since you have made so much money for me, of course I can't be too heartless. At that time, I will contact a merchant ship on the surrounding sea to dock at the port of Yutanka. Mr. Zhou Ming, you just need to get on the ship. Mexican warships will never dare to stop it."

Zhou Ming was stunned when he heard Elisabe say this, because he could hear Elisabe just emphasized that there was only one ship, so her meaning was obviously just to save Zhou Ming. After all, only one ship could not transport tens of thousands of people no matter what. Even a large cargo ship could barely hold so many people, how should food and fresh water be solved? Not to mention so many people, what if there is an infectious disease?

"Her Majesty, I think I need to remind you that I still have tens of thousands of Indians here," said Zhou Ming.

Elisabe smiled at the time when Zhou Ming’s reminder: “Mr. Zhou Ming, you are so cute. Don’t tell me if you plan to transport all the Indians away?”

"If they were not transported away, they would probably die here." Zhou Ming said, "Her Majesty, when I brought these Indians to the revolution, I promised to fight for freedom and equality for them and no longer allow them to suffer exploitation and discrimination; and their brave revolution also hit a large extent

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) The credibility of the Mexican government is the direct cause of the depreciation of the peso, right?”

"So what? They are still Indians after all, aren't they?" Elizabeth asked back.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I know you have a kind heart. You can't bear to watch these Indians massacre by government forces, so you can completely close your eyes and walk away." Elisabe said, "You must know that you are the culprit of disrupting a country and causing heavy losses to the Malong Church. They are the target of 100,000 Mexican government forces. It is not easy for me to rescue you."

"Mr. Zhou Ming, you know that there are thousands of miles from Britain to Mexico. Even if I send warships now, it will be useless. Besides, I cannot interfere with the internal affairs of another sovereign country, right? Our United Kingdom respects international law very much."

Elisabeth continued, "So I can only pick you up Mr. Zhou Ming to the greatest extent. Of course, your bodyguard and the people you are closest to. Even if you want to take hundreds of people away, it's okay. This is the bottom line. As for the other Indians, I believe their God will bless them, right?"

Elisabe also emphasized: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you are a speculator. Those Indians are just the chess pieces you use. Then the chess pieces can be completely abandoned after completing their mission. This is their long-destined destiny, not your fault, Mr. Zhou Ming. This is also something that any great person must face."

Speaking of this, Elizabeth paused for a moment before finally saying: "Okay, Mr. Zhou Ming, I have said so much, I think you should understand it too, right? Those Indians, let us pray for them, and Mr. Zhou Ming, you, I will contact the nearby British merchant ships to dock and pick you up..."

Before Elisabe had finished speaking, Zhou Ming interrupted her and said, "Thank you Her Majesty for your prayers, so please add more prayers."

"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course I decided to stay and I want to fulfill my commitment to these Indians," said Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, this joke is not humorous," said Elizabeth. "I think Mr. Zhou Ming, you should understand that if the Mexican government forces launch an attack next, it is likely to be very fierce. I don't know what the orders given by the Mexican government and the Maronite Church are, but if it were me, I would not care about your life or death."

Zhou Ming said: "Of course I understand that they will kill me, or even if they don't want to, on the battlefield, maybe a bullet that flew from from where could kill me."

Elisabe asked curiously: "So do you still want to stay in this way?"

Zhou Ming replied: "Yes, because I can't watch these Indians who were taken away from their homes by me, and followed me to fight for their dreams to realize their dreams and stayed here and were massacred. They would hate my betrayal. Do you still have tens of thousands of unjust souls asking for your life underground every day? Can you still sleep peacefully? I don't know what will happen to others, but I absolutely can't do it!"

"Maybe for Her Majesty, they are just numbers and chess pieces, but for me, I can see them talking to them every day, and they are living people in front of me!"

Zhou Ming said: "I can't figure out why anyone can be so cold-blooded. I can feel at ease when watching so many people being brutally killed because of their decisions? If this is the coldness of politics, then I'm sorry, I can't do it because I'm still a person with emotions and passion, and my heart can still be pounding. I can't do it like you!"
