"Portuguese escudos fell 800 basis points against the dollar yesterday, the largest one-day drop in escudos in five years..."

"The Greek drachma fell against the U.S. dollar within a week, and the decline has expanded to 1,500 basis points, hitting a new low in five years. The Greek central bank stated that it does not rule out that international hot money will participate in the speculation of the drachma. The Greek central bank is confident that it will deal with everything. provocation, maintaining the stability of the drachma exchange rate..."

"The Luxembourg franc experienced a flash crash, which once touched the bottom line of the European linked exchange rate. The Central Bank of Luxembourg has applied for emergency assistance from the Bundesbank. The Bundesbank stated that it will go all out to maintain the stability of the Luxembourg franc..."

"The Belgian franc has fallen against the dollar for several weeks, and it is only one step away from the bottom line of the European peg..."

...

When Sergei was in Yugoslavia to mediate the crisis here, the Gorky Group took the lead in taking the lead in taking the lead in Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece and Portugal, which were weaker in the European Community. In order to prevent the German side from overreacting, the Gorky Group has been gently suppressing the currencies in circulation of the four countries. Whenever the currency values ​​of these countries are about to touch the European linked exchange rate, the Gorky Group will temporarily adjust the pressure on the central banks of the above four countries, making them think that they can defeat international speculators and hot money with their own strength.

Although the currencies of these countries have been continuously attacked by international hot money recently, it seems understandable for these countries to be targeted by international hot money because of their weak strength. For the core countries in the European Community - Britain, France and Germany. As long as these countries can sustain themselves, they have no obligation and responsibility to help. Especially for Britain and France, their economies have just shown signs of improvement, and they don't have the spare power to help their neighbors.

At this moment, Seryozha has not fully attacked the European linked exchange rate. He is making the final test, because the European Community has intervened in the Yugoslav civil war, and Yugoslavia has now been regarded by Seryozha as his own territory. You know, because the outlet of the Black Sea is controlled by Turkey, the Soviet navy has never been able to enter the ocean freely. Once something happens, the Black Sea Fleet will be completely locked by the little Turkey. Not even the Mediterranean Sea can be entered. Therefore, it has always been the wish of the Soviet Union to have its own outlet in the Mediterranean.

There are developed countries such as France and Italy on the Mediterranean coast, which are also crucial to the unified market group that is now striving to expand trade. We must know that the cost of sea transportation is much lower than that of land transportation, and the trade prosperity of the countries along the Baltic Sea cannot be compared with that of the Mediterranean trade. Once Seryozha can truly connect the unified market, building a railway from Gdansk, Poland to Duras Port, Albania will definitely be a way to get rich for the entire unified market. , Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Danube River in Ukraine within the Soviet Union can also provide part of the convenience for freight between the Soviet Union and Europe. But if Yugoslavia is missing, all this can only remain on the plan and will never be realized.

In order to allow Milosevic to give up his plan to suppress Croatia and Slovenia by force, Seriosha and Mikhail, the leader of the Unified Market Organization, gave Milosevic two big cakes, as long as Yugoslavia restores peace , the unified market organization is willing to accept Yugoslavia to become a full member of the unified market, and Seryozha, on behalf of the Soviet Union, expressed his willingness to provide cheap oil and natural gas to Yugoslavia, but the premise is still that Yugoslavia wants to maintain peace.

I have to say that the temptation of the economy really tempted Milosevic. As the main nation of Yugoslavia, Serbia is not an economically developed area, and Slovenia and Croatia in the north are the main industrial clusters of Yugoslavia. One very important reason why Yugoslavia is so stubborn about Slovenia and Croatia is that Serbia cannot get rid of its economic dependence on the North.

In addition, the great chauvinism of the Serbs is also one of the important causes of this civil war. Seryozha vaguely felt that Milosevic's agreement to send troops to Croatia and Slovenia was largely not his intention. You must know that the Serbs who actually went to Slovenia and Croatia to fight in the name of volunteers, not On behalf of the Yugoslav government. The term volunteer army is essentially no different from the militia. Although there must be the shadow of the Yugoslav government behind the Serbian Volunteer Army, as long as the Yugoslav government does not send troops in its own name, this war will always stop at the people buying shields.

The observation team of the international human rights organization in Yugoslavia feared that the world would not be chaotic, and kept telling the outside world that there was a serious human rights crisis in Yugoslavia, and that Croats and Slovenians were being massacred by Serbs. The Yugoslav government led by Milosevic faced enormous international pressure. Both the European Community and the United States have secretly provided a large amount of funds and advanced weapons to support anti-government organizations in Croatia and Slovenia. In addition, the United States and European countries have to cut off trade with Yugoslavia. But at this moment, Seryozha gave Milosevic a big gift.

Sergesha joined hands with Mikhail, chairman of the United Market Organization, to put pressure on the Albanian side, asking the Albanian government to stop aiding Albanian anti-government organizations in Kosovo. You must know that the Autonomous Province of Kosovo is located in the Republic of Serbia, and the Kosovo issue has always been a serious concern for the Serbs. The Albanian government is eager to join the unified market and get rid of the state of economic difficulties. Therefore, in the face of Mikhail's request, the Albanian government dare not refuse, but they only have one request, which is to ensure the personal safety of the Albanians in Kosovo.

Facing the great gift of Seryozha and Mikhail, let's compare the United States and the European Community countries, which are only playing tricks. Milosevic finally understood the power of Seryosha and the unified market organization. So within 72 hours after the Albanian government issued a statement, the Albanian anti-government organization in Kosovo and the Yugoslav government finally sat at the negotiating table and started a dialogue.

Once again, Seryozha miraculously brought light to the crisis in Yugoslavia. Compared with the behavior of the United States and the European Community in Yugoslavia, it is nothing more than fanning the flames, lest the world will not be chaotic. This time, Milosevic finally made up his mind and completely gave up his illusions about the European Community and the United States. On the balance of competition, the unified market and the Soviet Union's plan gained more weight.
