Chapter 238: The Baltic Road


When the storm comes, everyone has exhausted all means and means to survive.

The same is true for banks, when the banking system suddenly has a large amount of non-performing loans, the first thing they have to abandon is their own customers, dissolve on sunny days, collect umbrellas on rainy days, and the ruthlessness of banks is vividly demonstrated at this moment.

Those large enterprises have better loans, they are the customers that the bank will always strive for, unless the Seibu Group is in a situation from which it will never recover, otherwise, the bank will never fall out with such a company.

The most unfortunate are the small and medium-sized enterprises that Japan is proud of, and they are the first customers in the banking industry to turn around.

In recent years, Japan's real estate and stock market have been unique in the world, and many people have also been dazzled by the fast money brought by the stock market, and many small and medium-sized enterprises with good development have even given up their own business and began to speculate in land and stocks.

With the help of Japan's economic take-off, they naturally made a lot of money.

So everyone's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and many people begin to try their best to use various ways to borrow funds, because according to the current rise rate of the property market and the stock market, even if they go to borrow usury to invest, they can make a lot of money, and many people are desperate to invest all their net worth.

But the bank's change of face made these people fall from heaven to the bottom all at once.

No one expected that the moment of low tide would come so quickly.

When the bank took its customer list one by one to inform its loan customers to cancel the contract, people couldn't believe it was true.

How can you afford a house without the support of the bank?

Housing prices in Tokyo are unaffordable even for white-collar workers at major trading companies.

Not to mention the ordinary people whose income is in the middle and lower classes, many of them even borrow from financial companies for the down payment, those people are all underworlds, and they can make your life worse than death if they owe them money.

Japan's Diet is still vying for power over Rikulut's stock time, and even the scenes of parliamentarians staging in the sacred Diet have been shown on television several times.

In the Japanese securities market, those unknown funds from all over the world are frantically shorting Japanese bank stocks, and the decline in bank stocks has triggered the decline of other industrial stocks in Japan.

In society, some news about losing real estate due to forced debts by banks and finally going to a dead end has also begun to appear in the newspapers frequently.

Unexpectedly, in the first year after entering the Heisei period, the entire Japanese society fell into chaos from the top.

Although there are some elements of unpredictable prophets in this, Seryosha still feels a sense of accomplishment, and the plan to carve up Japan has finally reached the harvest time.

The world's hidden funds in Switzerland, Panama and other places that have not been seen for many years have jumped out at this moment, and 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 has been decided, Seryosha can finally breathe a sigh of relief, even if all the funds of the West have been withdrawn, the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone can continue.

However, although its own problems were solved, the internal and external political environment of the Soviet Union was still not optimistic.

At a time when Seryosha was preoccupied with Japan's plans, Poland held its first general election after national reconciliation, in which Walesa defeated Jaruzelski, who had pushed for the Roundtable to resolve the Solidarity issue, and became Poland's first non-communist prime minister after World War II.

Seryosha should have been happy for Walesa, but the ubiquitous Americans actually contacted Walesa through the Holy See and promised a series of economic assistance to Poland, and under the material temptation of the United States, the Gorky Brotherhood, who had been saddle up for Solidarity all these years, was abandoned.

At this moment, Seryosha also experienced the ungrateful and ruthless side of the Poles, and the series of benefits that Walesa had promised to the Gorky Brotherhood were now countless, and the Gorky Brotherhood and Solidarity went from close comrades to face-friendly strangers almost overnight.

Poland is on the border of the Soviet Union, and in the face of Poland, which the Americans cannot control for the time being, the torrent of Soviet steel only needs to cross the border a little and walk around the Polish soil.

But Gorbachev did not have the courage to do so, and he chose to give Poland freedom.

This is simply leaving those communist comrades in Eastern Europe to fend for themselves.

In fact, Gorbachev did not blame him for not caring about Poland, because now the Soviet Union was about to face an even bigger problem.

That is, the party organizations of the three Baltic countries openly expressed their desire for independence to the Central Committee.

Yakovlev's open policy caused the Soviet minorities to re-examine their own history, and Gorbachev's inability to effectively manage local power after coming to power also provided the ground 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 unhappy with the rising number of Russian immigrants and the Soviet Union's policy of ethnic integration.

As a result, just before the bloodshed in Georgia, when the Georgian opposition was at its fiercest, the expulsion of Russian citizens in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania began to heat up gradually.

However, Georgia's counterinsurgency efforts have had a great deterrent effect on the separatists in the three Baltic states, who have abandoned the idea of direct confrontation with the government and adopted a peaceful strategy to express their desire for independence.

So some nationalists proposed to hold a protest on the Baltic Way.

The so-called Baltic Sea Road is a human chain connecting Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the capital of the San Kingdom.

At 4 p.m., everyone held hands for a fifteen-minute protest.

During the whole event, no one went on a hunger strike, no one sat in a demonstration, everyone just held hands and sang patriotic songs.

But Seryosha saw it very clearly, this is clearly the favorite color revolution of the Americans, this kind of protest and demonstration method is almost no danger, and the cost of participation is extremely low.

However, the international impact is not small.

After the lessons of Georgia, Seryosha and Gorbachev did not dare to use force rashly, but Seryosha was still extremely disappointed in Gorbachev, and now Seryosha really felt that Yeltsin should return to politics earlier. t1706231537:
