The protagonist crossed over unexpectedly, the system was dumbfounded, and the protagonist was confused. One system exists to survive and live more comfortably, while the other tries to avoid havin...
After some discussion, the top brass of the Bald Eagles finally decided to focus their main targets on Japan and South Korea, because Japan and South Korea perfectly met the criteria.
A dog, and a godson.
Their combined economic strength ranks among the top three in the world, especially Japan, whose economic strength is already among the top five in the world. With South Korea added to the mix, ranking among the top three shouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, they were weak and obedient, and dared not resist.
Actually, the Japanese and Koreans are quite strong; they wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against France and the United States, both of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
However, in terms of strength, compared to whom, even if the Japanese and Koreans combined, they couldn't withstand China for a week, or even less; three days would be enough to make them struggle. It would take about the same amount of time for the bald eagle to take action against China.
But if you take them out of the box and put them in other places, they would definitely be dominant forces; even the French and the British might not be able to beat them in a one-on-one fight.
However, in the eyes of China, Russia, and the United States, they are just weaklings.
The bald eagle acts as the big brother to the Japanese and the godfather to the South Koreans. It's perfectly reasonable for the big brother to take some money from the little brother to recoup his losses, right? By the same token, it's also reasonable for the godfather to take some money from his godson to spend, right?
Furthermore, both Japan and South Korea have American troops within their borders. Once the troops receive their salaries, they can't continue to use US dollars for spending. Therefore, exchanging US dollars for Japanese yen and then for South Korean won is reasonable and quite common.
Now all we need to do is have the people who pay the bald eagle soldiers exchange their US dollars for local currency first, and then distribute the wages in local currency.
With so many people's wages, it's reasonable for them to exchange more, since some of them need to support their families and it's normal for them to send some to their wives and children back in the United States.
Now things are different. What I have is local currency. If I want to give it to my wife and kids, I have to exchange it. If I don't, I can only spend it locally.
This is certainly a good thing for the Japanese and Koreans; they can spend their money wherever they can make it.
Inside the Bald Eagle military camps, of course, it doesn't work that way. Salaries are still paid, but in digital currency, directly deposited into their accounts. Soldiers then take their wages and exchange them for local currency.
Meanwhile, other people from the Bald Eagles who settled in Japanese and South Korean territory also used US dollars to exchange for local currency.
Investments and large-scale business transactions followed one after another.
As things continued to churn, the bald eagle's health began to recover, while the Japanese and Koreans' health decreased without anyone noticing.
These two places were just the key points; other places weren't overlooked either. It's all about harvesting韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for exploiting people); there are good crops everywhere, it's just a matter of how many.
This clandestine approach, though slow, is like boiling a frog in lukewarm water; by the time it's discovered, it's too late, and the bald eagle will have a thousand reasons to explain itself.
Moreover, neither the Japanese nor South Koreans expected that the United States would take such drastic measures against them.
The Japanese and South Koreans have to swallow this bitter pill; no matter how hard it is, they have to face the bald eagle with a smile.
Upon learning the news, China immediately analyzed the ins and outs of the matter and then entered a state of currency war.
Russia is a ruthless man. He keeps quiet on the surface, but secretly refuses to use US dollars for all major transactions. If rubles are not acceptable, Chinese dollars will do.
The bald eagle turned to China to exchange money. China directly asked how much they wanted, saying that cash was too troublesome and that bank transfer would suffice, as it could be used in Russia.
Having failed to profit from China and Russia, the United States has simply abandoned both countries.
Nobody's a fool. China wants to take this opportunity to increase the influence of its currency. Since Russia's currency can't appreciate, they'll attack the US dollar.
What the bald eagle fears most is the rise of the Chinese currency's influence, so it has chosen to abandon the idea of profiting from the people in these two countries.
But how to put it? Well, as I said before, nobody's a fool. The Middle East is also starting to recognize the Chinese Yuan, only accepting a portion of the US dollars for payment, and the rest in either gold or the Chinese Yuan.
This forces the bald eagle to seek its blood elsewhere.
The bald eagle did not expect that the Chinese yuan was already showing signs of rivaling the US dollar.
The recovery plan cannot be implemented in places that are on good terms with China, but it's not a big problem to do it secretly.
The main targets for recovery are countries that are at odds with China, such as Japan, South Korea, and India, as well as the United States' own allies.
Ye Zi made her routine visit to the gates of hell, and then listened to Sister Meng complain about the Bald Eagle's recovery plan.
Then a bold idea popped into my head.
There are still two nuclear bombs at the gates of hell. If we were to launch a major attack on the Japanese at this point, and then pin the blame on the bald eagle, then we'd have quite a show to watch.
Moreover, there was a bunch of drugs in Ye Zi's space. These were all obtained from the jungles of Myanmar. Although it wasn't much, it wasn't a small amount either. Besides, there was plenty of this stuff in the jungles of Myanmar. One trip there could easily yield thousands of kilograms.
I just don't know if the plan will go through, or if these drugs will even be of any use.
In other countries, gangs use drugs to control women and make money for them, but in Japan, the sex industry is thriving, so there's no need to use drugs to control them at all.
However, someone at the Gates of Hell knew about the situation in Japan. After finding the nobody, Ye Zi whispered:
"Old Zhao, have you been to the Japanese side? Are there many drug addicts there?"
"There are many drug addicts because of the immense pressure. Otherwise, how do you think those gangs make money? Gambling, prostitution, and drugs are very common in Japan." The little nobody stared intently at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi continued:
“I have a bunch of drugs, from the Burmese jungle, that I haven’t dealt with. Maybe I should sell them to the Japanese? Make some money.”
"This plan is brilliant. A hundred years ago, the Japanese came here to sell opium. Now we'll sell drugs and let them taste the poison of drugs."
Ye Zi grinned mischievously, then thought for a moment and said:
“I feel that the inventory is not enough. I should go to Myanmar again and get at least a few tons to sell.”
"Yes, get more. There are many rich people on the Japanese side, with antiques and gold in their hands. Take this opportunity to do something practical."
Ye Zi gave Xiao Tou a knowing look, and the two of them grinned mischievously.
Their mischievous grins successfully caught Meng Jie's attention. Meng Jie immediately knew they were up to something, and then asked:
"Tell me what bad ideas you two have, and I'll see if they're feasible."
Drug trafficking.
Sister Meng glared and said:
"How could a billionaire like you, with assets worth tens of billions, have thought of getting into drug trafficking?"
"I plan to sell drugs to the Japanese and get some gold and antiques or something."
Meng Jie narrowed her eyes, and a wicked smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. This plan was actually quite feasible, because Ye Zi had a spatial ability, making it too easy for her to bring drugs into the country.
Moreover, this is a great opportunity to strike at the Japanese economy. The bald eagle is already sucking the blood of the Japanese; if drugs are added to the mix, the Japanese economy will surely take a big step backward.
