Chapter 1003: Desperate
"Boom~~"
In the air, a fighter plane turned into a ball of sparks.
Not far away, another ball of sparks appeared in the night sky, which was very dazzling.
Each ball of sparks meant that a fighter plane was destroyed by an anti-aircraft missile.
The Yugoslav air defense forces did not intercept the incoming missiles, but specifically intercepted NATO aircraft.
Before NATO launched military operations, the Yugoslavia had learned the news.
After all, large numbers of aircraft were dispatched, and radar detection systems could not be hidden.
NATO aircraft were shot down, and similarly, explosions occurred on the ground in the Yugoslavia, which was hit by NATO air strikes.
At the Yugoslav Air Force Airport, the Air Force was dispatched, and 350 Yugoslav fighters were dispatched. Air Force pilots drove slightly backward aircraft to fight, full of blood.
The main models of Yugoslav aircraft were MiG-29 and MiG-21!
The Yugoslav Air Force looked tragic.
The eyes of the whole world were focused on the Balkan Peninsula.
In Xiangjiang, Liu Tao was also paying attention to the situation in the Balkan Peninsula.
Xiangjiang TV, Balkan Peninsula Special, the video at this time, one side is the pre-war buildings, and the other side has turned into ruins.
The war has lasted for 78 days.
Except for the beginning, the air defense force of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia caused great trouble to the NATO Air Force. As the air defense force of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was exhausted and the air defense positions were destroyed, it could no longer cause trouble to the NATO Air Force.
Except for the first half of the month, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia shot down 213 NATO aircraft and sank 12 NATO warships. From then on, no NATO aircraft was shot down or NATO warships were sunk.
London was hit by two medium-range missiles, Paris was hit by three medium-range missiles, and Berlin was hit by two medium-range missiles. The worst injured were Italy and Greece, after all, Italy and Greece were within the attack range of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's short-range missiles.
Although the NATO air defense system shot down a large part of the missiles, there were still more than 200 missiles that landed in Italy and Greece.
Until now, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was purely passively attacked. NATO aircraft attacked the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia wantonly, not only military facilities, but also civilian facilities.
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia suffered the same fate as Iraq.
In the world, only a few countries supported the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and Iraq was one of them. Saddam took this opportunity to sell a wave of misery to the world.
NATO's brutality also frightened many countries.
As a result, the most popular products in the international arms market recently are individual air defense missiles and air defense missile systems.
After all, the most practical and threatening thing to deal with the air force is still air defense missiles!
Panshan Group's "Vanguard" individual air defense missiles and "Aegis" air defense missiles, and Polar Bear's SAM air defense missiles have been in short supply recently.
As early as the Spring Festival, Chinese students, tourists, and businessmen who were studying in the Balkan Peninsula returned to China for the New Year.
Even in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, there were only a few foreign affairs personnel and war correspondents.
The polar bear sent 200 paratroopers to control the airport, planted the polar bear flag, warned NATO not to bomb the airport, and evacuated the citizens calmly.
Although NATO's air strikes continued, Liu Tao had to withdraw from the stock market and foreign exchange market.
This time, it can be said to be a big harvest.
Short the US dollar, short the British pound, and long the US dollar, double-headed profit.
Short the European stock market and long the US stock market, and double-headed profit again.
When shorting the euro, the exchange rate of the euro to the US dollar was 1:1:18, and now it has fallen to 1:0.82!
Before this, when the euro was born, the euro was more valuable than the US dollar, but now the war has reached the present, and the euro has plummeted by more than 30% against the US dollar; the exchange rate of the British pound to the US dollar was 1:1.73, and now the exchange rate of the British pound to the US dollar is 1:1.38, a plunge of more than 20%.
More than 1.5 trillion US dollars have flowed out of Europe, of which 1 trillion US dollars flowed to the United States and 500 billion US dollars flowed to the East.
The US dollar is getting stronger!
Compared with the pre-war period, major European stock markets have fallen by at least 20%, and some have even fallen by 40%; on the contrary, major US stock markets have soared.
Liu Tao began to collect the funds back. Although there are several procedures to eliminate traceable traces as much as possible, he will return to Hong Kong by the end of the year.
He did not think about buying up Europe's high-quality assets at a low price. Americans can do this, but Liu Tao cannot.
Americans have a huge influence in Europe, whether it is political influence or military influence, but Liu Tao does not.
If he dared to buy up Europe at a low price, European countries might be angry and directly eat up his investment without any martial ethics.
The impact of the war on Europe is huge.
Look, the originally ambitious construction of the European high-speed rail network has been stopped.
"NATO is really crazy!" Liu Tao shook his head.
Since the outbreak of the war, NATO has bombed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, causing huge losses to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. More than 20 hospitals were destroyed, more than 300 schools were damaged, more than 50 bridges, 12 railways, 5 highways, and 5 civil airports were destroyed, 39% of radio and television transmission lines were paralyzed, and a large number of factories, shops, and power plants were destroyed.
It can be said that the construction achievements of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia since the end of World War II have been completely reduced to ruins.
Liu Tao turned on the computer and browsed more news.
A month ago, European and American countries recognized the current Thai government, Malaysian government, Indonesian government, and Philippine government, and the four countries inherited their original status.
This is undoubtedly a good start!
By now, Southeast Asia has been able to restore peace.
As for the suppression of bandits on some individual islands, that has been a long-term thing.
This turmoil caused the deaths of tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to Australia. Now, peace has finally come.
This is good for all parties!
The old order collapsed and a new order is being established.
Africa is even more chaotic. As Europe's power further weakens, this war is more obvious.
Spain could not withstand the pressure and had to accept more refugees, but Spain naturally could not accept so many refugees. Then Spain made a magical operation, which was to bring refugees to other European countries.
This made European countries jump.
The war has not ended yet, and this troublesome thing has challenged European integration!
Under the promotion of the Americans, the triangular trade carried out in Europe at that time was constantly mentioned. It was a bloody executioner. There was even an organization that jumped out and called for Europe to accept African refugees, just because it was to atone for the ancestors, and then shouted that Europe had an obligation to help develop Africa.
The Americans, like the British, have almost maxed out their talent and ability to stir up trouble.
And this operation has made Europe miserable.
The Americans are trying to suck blood from the Europeans so that they can live better and eliminate a major threat.
