After launching the missile, Green pushed the nose of the aircraft flat, the wings tilted, and began to turn to return.

The missile was still accelerating upwards, relying on the original speed of the carrier plane and its own speed, it continued to rise, and soon jumped out of the atmosphere, rising to an altitude of [-] kilometers.

Here, already in the vast space, the missile's infrared probe was activated at full speed, and it waited at the position where the target appeared according to the pre-ordered instructions.

At the same time, after flying for this period of time, not only did it increase in height, but its speed also increased to eight kilometers per second.

Finally, the infrared detector found the trace of the target!

The Solwind satellite was wandering alone, and in front of it, a missile was flying towards it rapidly.

At this time, the accelerator rocket at the tail has fallen off, and the missile is even smaller. The whole body is equipped with 56 small directional rockets to fine-tune its trajectory. The high-speed information processor is constantly calculating the best interception trajectory.

Finally, at the closest position to the opponent, it exploded into countless fragments, and these fragments flew towards the unsuspecting satellite.

A rain of bullets, a rain of bullets composed of countless fragments, enveloped the Solwind satellite, and the Solwind satellite was completely destroyed in this rain of bullets.

This anti-satellite experiment was a complete success!

(Anti-satellites are not anti-ballistic missiles. Satellites have clear orbits in space and are less difficult to intercept.) The news was sent back to the Pentagon, and Weinberg knew that the success of this experiment gave the US military a low-cost Fast and efficient anti-satellite weapons, such missiles carried by F-15 fighter jets are much cheaper than ballistic missiles. After receiving the order, they will be ready for combat within an hour.

It's a pity that after this experiment is completed, these technologies will be temporarily sealed up, because the United States has cut down many projects in Star Wars.

However, this experiment is very meaningful, because now, the Soviet Union already has an anti-satellite weapon system in actual combat that can destroy satellites in low orbits of the United States. The success of this own experiment will allow the Soviet Union to agree to reduce such weapons. Let those weapons of the Soviet Union eliminate the combat capability.

The US-Soviet summit meeting is about to begin.

Chapter 9 Nineteen Economic Bubbles Emerge

"Tanaka, I haven't seen you for a long time." A man said, in the subway, he happened to meet a former colleague he was familiar with.

Now Tanaka looks well-dressed, brand-name casual clothes, and Koizumi looks at himself, he is still wearing a company-issued suit.

In island countries, there are only two kinds of people who wear suits, one is company staff, and the other is clubs.

"Koizumi, are you still working in the company?" Tanaka asked.

"Yes."

With that said, the subway came, and the two walked into the subway.

"Now, going to work is a waste of time." Tanaka said: "Koizumi, if you listen to me, immediately mortgage all the funds in the family and the house, and use them all to buy stocks."

buy stocks?Koizumi listened to Tanaka's words. Now, it is said that the stock market has started to rise, but he doesn't know how far it can rise.

Hearing Tanaka's words, the people on the subway around him also pricked up their ears.

"Don't you know? Now the stock market has risen, and this upward trend will continue. If you invest 1 rì yuan now, it can become 2000 rì yuan in a month, which is more expensive than yours. Working in the company makes a lot of money." Tanaka said: "I have just entered the market for two months and invested 400 million rì yuan, and now I have reaped 600 million rì yuan, and depending on the situation this month, I can reap [-] million rì yuan Yuan."

Having said that, Koizumi was really moved, "Then, won't the stock price fall?"

"Now our rì yuan has appreciated so much, and our economic situation is very good. Under this situation, our stock price will only rise, not fall." Tanaka said: "The more we invest now, the greater the harvest."

"Okay, then I'll try." Koizumi said.

Koizumi is relatively outdated, and he has not made this kind of investment until now. Seeing Tanaka's current situation, he couldn't help being tempted.

The next day, I came to the stock exchange. Sure enough, there was already a sea of ​​people. Everyone was discussing the rise of the stock. In the past two months, the stock has been rising, rising, and the monthly increase. All above 15.00%.

Due to the timely intervention of the United States, various expenditures were cut to cope with the rapid depreciation of the dollar. Therefore, after two months of rapid decline, the dollar finally stabilized. Even so, the current ratio of rì yuan to the dollar, It has reached 120 rì yuan to one dollar, and the rì yuan has appreciated by more than 50.00%.

This appreciation has brought certain adverse effects on the export of the island country's domestic products. However, the main products of the island country are high-tech products, so although the profit has decreased, the competitiveness has not dropped much. In order to change this effect To allow the economy of the island country to continue to develop, the island country has adopted methods such as reducing deposit interest rates to stimulate domestic economic growth.

(In later generations, this action hosted by the United States was mainly to reduce the trade deficit. However, after the signing of the agreement, the export of the United States did not increase, and the export of the island countries did not decline. The purpose of this signing did not achieve the expected purpose. Until It was in 87 that the results of this agreement became apparent.) With the reduction of deposit interest rates, it is not suitable for the islanders to deposit the excess funds in the bank, and it is more effective to invest them. Therefore, the stock And real estate, began to pour a lot of money.

In addition to the islanders themselves, there are more foreign funds pouring in.

The capital that entered earlier made a lot of money during the appreciation of the rì yuan, but those who entered later did not have the opportunity to make a fortune this time. The government of the island country began to intervene under the pressure of the United States. The exchange rate finally stabilized at 120, and it is meaningless to invest in rì yuan speculation.

However, the influx of international funds was absolutely unwilling. They saw the potential for appreciation in the stock and real estate industries, and began to inject funds into these financial fields.

As a result, with the influx of these funds, the island country's stock and real estate markets suddenly became hot.

Hidden in these funds, the funds of the Far East Trade and Investment Corporation are also constantly flowing in it, fueling the rise of the island country's stock price.

Prince Waleed, who is full of confidence, has reached an agreement with the Tokyo authorities to purchase 500 square meters of land in Ginza Sicho, the central district of Ginza, at a price of 250 million rì per square meter, with a total amount of [-] billion rì yuan , This is the largest acquisition in the Ginza area. This acquisition fully demonstrates the strength of Kingdom Construction Company.

Prince Walid claimed that a 120-storey skyscraper will be built here, which will be a landmark building in Tokyo after it is completed.

500 million rì yuan per square meter is definitely a very good price. In later generations, just after entering the 90s, the land price here has reached [-] rì yuan per square meter, which has increased five times in value!

Therefore, the main thing for Prince Walid now is to be the king of the land, to enclose the land!Tunnel it first, and then sell it when the land price is the highest.

Just farming land can make enough money.

Moreover, at that time, he also has enough reasons, because at that time, he needs to spend all the funds to become the owner of the United Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia and become the largest shareholder of the bank.At this time, the United Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia had a poor system, a small scale, and suffered losses year after year.Just after Waleed took over the bank, within a few years, it became the most profitable bank in Saudi Arabia and even the Middle East.

In later generations, although Prince Waleed made his fortune in real estate, the real big one was in the banking industry.

Taking control of this bank has a more far-reaching purpose, which is to integrate the financial business of the entire Middle East.In the future, the Middle East will be a unified whole. For example, like the European Union, a unified currency will be used. In addition to central banks, commercial banks will also play a big role.

At that time, Prince Walid will have enough reasons to sell the property, take several times the profit, return to Saudi Arabia, and give up the high land price to the successor. When the market is turbulent, let this unlucky man The guy committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Out of the United Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia, Prince Walid also bought the largest commercial bank in the United States, the shares of Citibank. Now, due to the economic problems in the United States, Citibank may have a problem of capital disconnection prematurely. Therefore, There are enough reasons for Prince Waleed to withdraw capital from the island country and fool the island people.

The Kingdom Construction Company has bet all its working capital on this project, while other real estate markets in the island country have been secretly invested by the Far East Trade and Investment Company.

Other investors flocking in are also frantically buying various stocks and real estate in the market.

Now, with the continuous influx of hot money, the island nation has begun to experience economic bubbles.

On the basis of GDP only rising by 5.00%, the stock and land prices have risen by more than 15.00%. The bubble is already obvious.

But at this time, the people of the island country have not realized the danger, and even Takeshita Noboru is complacent about the prosperity of the island country's economy.

This appreciation action is completely beneficial to our own side!Once the domestic capital has accumulated enough strength, it can expand overseas. Taking advantage of the serious problems in the US economy, it is a good choice to buy the stocks of American companies.

………Moscow.

As a superpower on earth, the new leader of this country should also have a strong hand, otherwise, he will not be able to convince the public internally, and will be despised externally, which is very dangerous.

Although Gorbachev attaches great importance to the development of the domestic economy, it does not mean that he can tolerate all actions of the United States. For example, the United States has actually conducted an experiment in outer space and destroyed a satellite!

This means that in the future, all Soviet satellites flying over the United States will be dangerous.

Although the Soviet Union has conducted such experiments long ago and deployed anti-satellite weapons, it is not good news for the Soviet Union that the other party has the same weapons.

So, the Soviet Union issued a stern protest, which will trigger a more intense race between the two sides in outer space!
