Chapter 238 The Baltic Road
When the storm comes, everyone uses all the methods and means to survive. The same is true for banks. When a large amount of bad loans suddenly appear in the banking system, the first thing they have to abandon is their customers, disband on sunny days and collect umbrellas on rainy days. The ruthlessness of the bank is fully demonstrated at this moment.
Those big companies have better loans. They are customers that banks will always strive for. Unless they are in a situation like Seibu Group, they will never fall apart with such companies. The most unlucky one is actually the small and medium-sized enterprises that Japan is proud of, and they are the first customers that the banking industry has turned against each other.
In recent years, Japan's real estate and stock market have become the world's only ones, and many people have been blinded by the quick money brought by the stock market. Many small and medium-sized enterprises with good development have even given up their own businesses and started to speculate in land and stocks. With the help of the rising wind of Japan's economy, they naturally make a lot of money. So everyone's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and many people have begun to try their best to borrow funds in various ways, because according to the current rising speed of the real estate market and the stock market, even if they borrow usury to invest, they can make a lot of money. Many people are staked in all their wealth.
But the bank's face changed, these people fell from heaven to the bottom. No one expected that the tide would come so quickly. When banks took their own list of customers to notify their loan customers to cancel their contracts, people couldn't believe that this was true. How could they afford a house without the support of the bank? Even white-collar workers in Tokyo could not afford the house prices. Not to mention the income of ordinary people in the middle and lower levels. Many of them even borrowed down payments from financial companies. Those people are gangsters, and they owed them money to make you live worse than death.
The Japanese Congress is still fighting for power and profit for Rikulut's stocks. Even TV shows several scenes of lawmakers performing all-in-one martial arts in the sacred parliament. In the Japanese securities market, unknown hot money from all over the world is frantically shorting Japanese bank stocks. The decline in bank stocks has triggered the decline of stocks in other Japanese industries. Just a few months ago, the celebrity stocks that were still rising are now pressed on the limit almost every day as soon as the market opens, and they cannot be sold at all.
In society, some news that some banks lost their real estate due to debt-forcing banks and finally went to a dead end began to appear frequently in the newspapers. Unexpectedly, in the first year after the Heisei period, the entire Japanese society fell from above and fell into chaos.
Although there are some elements of the unknown, Seriosha still feels very accomplished. The plan to divide Japan has finally come to fruition. Now there is no need for Seriosha to do it. The international hot money who is changing with the wind will fight to the death with the Japanese chaebols. The funds hidden in Switzerland, Panama and other places around the world have jumped out at this moment. While taking advantage of the bursting of the Japanese bubble, they are also fighting for a legal identity for themselves.
Now that the overall situation is settled, Selyosha can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Even if all the Western fence-bearers have withdrawn their funds, the Leningrad Special Economic Zone can continue to be built. However, although his own problems have been solved, the internal and external political environment of the Soviet Union is still not optimistic.
Just as Seriosha was devoted to Japan's plan, Poland held its first general election after national reconciliation. In this election, Varessa actually defeated Jaruzeelsky, who promoted the roundtable to successfully resolve the issue of solidarity trade union, and became the first non-communist prime minister in Poland after World War II. Originally, Seriosha should have been happy for Varessa, but the omnipresent Americans actually contacted Varessa through the Holy See and agreed to conduct a series of activities with Poland.
Le’s economic aid, under the material temptation of the United States, has been abandoned by the Gorky Brotherhood, which has been for the Solidarity Union for many years. At this moment, Seriosha also realized the ruthless side of the Poles. The series of benefits that Walesa promised to the Gorky Brotherhood are now uncountable. The Gorky Brotherhood and the Solidarity Union almost overnight changed from close comrades to maintaining a friendly stranger in terms of face.
Poland is on the Soviet border. Facing Poland, which the Americans are currently unable to control, the Soviet Union's steel torrent only needs to cross the border and walk around the land of Poland. However, Gorbachev did not have this courage and chose to give Poland freedom. This is simply to let the Communist comrades in Eastern Europe fend for themselves.
In fact, it was not his fault for Gorbachev not caring about Poland, because now the Soviet Union has to face a bigger problem. That is, the party organizations of the three Baltic countries publicly expressed their desire for independence to the central government.
Yakovlev's open policy allowed the Soviet minorities to re-examine their history. After Gorbachev came to power, he was unable to effectively manage local power and provided soil for the rise of separatism in some minority areas. The first secretaries of the party committees of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all locals. They were very dissatisfied with the rising local Russian immigration and the Soviet Union's national integration policy. So just before the bloodshed in Georgia, when the Georgian opposition was at its worst, the activities of expelling Russian citizens in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania began to heat up.
However, Georgia's counterinsurgency acted greatly to deter separatists in the three Baltic countries. They therefore gave up the idea of direct confrontation with the government and instead adopted a peaceful strategy to express their willingness to be independent. So some nationalists proposed protests on the Baltic Road.
