The rise of heroes begins with Hong Kong movies

Prime Minister's Office, Conference Hall 1.

The atmosphere was depressing.

This meeting was of a very high standard. It was basically a cabinet meeting. It was presided over by Prime Minister Major himself. Lemon, Fangs Trow and many other senior officials of the Bank of England were all present.

Apart from them, there are the cabinet members - all present!

All people put together, there are only 13 people, but these 13 people are the ones who currently control the destiny of Britain. They can be called the chosen ones!

If you do it right and carry it forward, your reputation will last forever.

If you make a mistake and fail, you will be infamy for eternity!

Well, it is an exaggeration to say that he will be infamous for eternity, but when people mention him in future generations, it is inevitable to be ridiculed as incompetent and useless. After all, this is the fault of the general environment and the great era.

The mere fact that these 13 people could commit such a crime is definitely looking down upon them.

At the moment, these chosen sons are sitting on pins and needles, and like thorns on their backs. They want to leave immediately, they dare not speak a word, and they can't help but hold their breath.

I don’t even dare to look at Major! reason?

It's very simple, just like when the teacher asks a question in school, the students don't dare to look into the teacher's eyes.

As long as you watch it, then you have to answer the question!

As for this big problem at the moment, no one wants to answer it, and no one can answer it. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. If the business is in such a bad state, then of course Prime Minister Major will take the blame.

The conference room was extremely quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

Major suppressed his anger and swept his cold eyes over the faces of everyone present. He knew very clearly what they were thinking. He was so angry that he almost wanted to kill someone!

Yes, he wants to kill someone!

"Everyone!"

Mergeson suddenly spoke, breaking the dead silence. He gritted his teeth and said slowly:"There's still an hour and a half before the market opens. Oh no, it's not that long. There are only 75 minutes left."

"Don't you want to say something?"

"No?"

"good!"

"Then let me name them, Raymond, tell me!"

The person named by Major was a man in his sixties, with a big belly and a bald head.

He was shocked when he was suddenly named.

"this, this……"

The bald man panicked for a moment, but quickly adjusted himself, took a few deep breaths, and immediately said:"Sir Major, is there a possibility that the other party is just feinting?"

"In fact, they don’t have enough funds and they are just trying to hold on.

Major's eyes widened, he banged the conference table, and shouted:"Feint attack?" Today alone, the short-selling funds used by the other party have exceeded 12 billion pounds?"

"Tell me, is this a feint? So let me ask you, if we really launch an attack, how much short funds will it be?"

"30 billion or 50 billion?!"

"Raymond, is this your thoughtful answer?"

The bald man also realized that he had said the wrong thing. It was just a lucky idea. It was inappropriate and inappropriate to say it at this time.

He moved his lips and wanted to continue speaking, but Major did not Give him another chance

"Damn it! Major drank and ignored Raymond. He looked at Lemon and Fangs Trot, adjusted his mood and tried his best to stay calm.

He said:"Lemon, Fangs Trot, you guys how to think? Fangs

Tero looked as normal and quickly replied:"At this moment, as long as we still want to maintain our status as a member of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, we must significantly raise interest rates!""

"Only in this way can we attract global investors!"

The so-called raising interest rates actually means raising interest rates. In this way, global financial institutions can firmly hold the pound. At present, this is basically the only way to deal with short sellers.

Lemon nodded and agreed:"I think so too."

"The current situation is that Huo Wenyao and Soros are determined to short the pound. How many chips they have in their hands is still unknown, so we can only deal with the worst-case scenario."

"First, let’s assume that the chips they hold are enough to defeat us."

"This also means that our intervention will end in failure this afternoon, and in this case, raising the pound interest rate is our only alternative!"

"There is no other way!"

This is indeed the case.

In real history, this is what Britain did. At that time, they raised the pound interest rate from 10% to 12%.%！

"good!"

After listening to Lemon and Fangs Tero's words, Major's eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth and said with all his might:"Then let's do this, raise the pound interest rate!"

With countermeasures, it will be much simpler.

Lemon quickly said:"Sir, Mr. Major, our pound interest rate is currently 10%. How many points should it be raised?"

"My suggestion is 2 points!"

"Increased from 10% to 12%！"

Major thought for two seconds, shook his head, and said:"Two points are enough, but don't forget who our opponent is."

"Huo Wenyao!"

"Although that damn oriental boy is annoying, he has unimaginable strength. He is not an ordinary opponent, so my suggestion is 3.5 points!!"

What?!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the scene was shocked and their expressions changed.

The interest rate was directly raised from 10% to 13.5%?

Raymond immediately said:"Mr. Major, is an increase of 3.5 points not too much? Already? This has never happened in the history of our country. Major glanced at Raymond sharply and said,"Has something like today ever happened in the history of our country?""

Raymond:"……"

In a word, KO!

Lemon's eyes flashed, and he said fiercely:"Yes! What is happening now has never happened. I agree with Mr. Major's suggestion to raise the interest rate by 3.5 points!"

Fangs Tello also nodded and said:" I also agree that extraordinary measures should be taken in extraordinary times!"

Others nodded and agreed.

This matter is settled

……

……

They acted very quickly. After the agreement was reached, the order was immediately sent to the Prime Minister.The Public Relations Department immediately spread the order.

The whole world was in an uproar!

Today's war is no longer just a matter of Britain, but involves the whole of Europe.

The whole world is paying attention!

Any news related to this will spread throughout the world's major financial markets as quickly as possible. When it was learned that Britain had raised interest rates by 3.5 points, the whole world was shocked!

With an interest rate of 13.5%, as long as the pound does not depreciate, it is definitely a very cost-effective investment.

Of course, Huo Wenyao and Soros also learned about this immediately.

What was their reaction?

Panic?

No!

They - ecstatic!

The reason is simple. They know that they are only one step away from the final victory. The increase in interest rates shows that Britain is at the end of its rope. They have locked the opponent's fate!

Not only did this not scare them, but it was a signal urging them to pursue their victory!!

So, on the afternoon of that day, Huo Wenyao and Soros continued their big moves and sold as many pounds as possible!
