[China’s official statement released, not an ICBM, but a spaceship][China’s National Port of Heaven successfully launches the Chang’e 8 lunar probe!][Secret launch at 5:30 a.m. local time in China][U.S. fails to detect China’s rocket launch][Defense experts, serious concerns about U.S. security… … ][Jinhoo Kang, did you know in advance?]The news of China’s Chang’e 8 launch after the Space Z explosion was enough to shake the world.
The collapsed global economy came to a temporary halt. As it was something that no one expected, everyone responded that they did not know what to do.
-what? Why is China here?
– Wasn’t it a Space Z failure?
– What kind of spaceship is China? Do you have the skills to do that?
-Hehe, if it was a Chinese-made spaceship, it would explode.
– The one that exploded is an American spaceship.
-Chinese technology should not be taken lightly. In the space industry, only China can compete with the United States.
– He continued to send spacecraft to the moon, and he said that he would send a manned spaceship within three years.
-By the way, was this really what Kang Jin-hoo planned?
-Ah, maybe… … .
– It’s not like you can launch a lunar exploration rocket in a day or two. This is 100% that Jinhu Kang was working with China even before the announcement of geratinium.
– Did you know that Space Z would fail and have insurance in China?
– A big picture after Gangjin… … .

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire world was watching the Fat Phoenix launch scene.
This was also the case with OTK Company.
The launch took place at 3:15 p.m. local time. In Korea, it was still early in the morning, but many employees went to work and watched the situation on TV.
Team leader Jeong Ki-hong prepared promotional materials to be sent to the press in the morning. But when Pat Phoenix exploded in mid-air, his mentality exploded as well.
At this moment, there was only one thought in my head.
‘ruined!’
In the meantime, OTK Company has been pouring out the funds raised by selling bonds to defend against speculative forces.
It sold dollars in the foreign exchange market to buy yuan and emerging market currencies, and actively bought futures and options in the derivatives market.
But as soon as Fat Phoenix exploded, the market began to plummet. Investors who feared that there is no way to prevent the collapse of the global economy joined the sell-off.
Jung Ki-hong turned his head to the side and said.
“Perhaps… … Are we ruined?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Park Sang-yeop recalled Kang Jin-hoo’s instructions with a contemplative expression.
‘Before and after the launch, there will be a lot of sell-offs and a crash will start. When that happens, pour out all the remaining funds and buy as much as you can.’
According to the instructions, they had been preparing for purchase several hours before the launch. But when the crash started, I couldn’t afford to buy.
After finishing the phone call with Kang Jin-hoo, Taek-gyu gave instructions to the staff.
“What are you doing? Buy it quickly.”
Shin Yuri asked in surprise.
“Come on, wait a minute. Are you buying under these circumstances?”
“Huh. There is a saying that you live out of fear.”
Jung Gi-hong asked carefully.
“Uh, um, it’s like living in hell, not in fear.”
The staff nodded his head as if he was right.
Taehyung smiled and said.
“No worries. I’ll take full responsibility, so I’ll buy it.”
The staff tapped the keyboard with trembling fingers.
In an instant, tens of billions of dollars of purchases were signed in the foreign exchange and stock markets, but the market showed no sign of rebounding.
The ever-falling market was enough to terrify people.
But at that moment, breaking news broke out that China had launched an ICBM.
Park Sang-yeop was perplexed.
“what? Why are you flying an ICBM in this situation?”
Jung Ki-hong was determined to be as it should be.
“After all, the economy has collapsed, so isn’t it that we should all be destroyed by nuclear war?”
“Does that make sense?”
‘No. It might be possible in China for some reason.’
But soon the screen changed, and the official statement from the Chinese government that it was a rocket sent to the moon, not an ICBM, came out.
At that moment, the market, like a lie, stopped falling and began to rebound.
Junggi-hong quickly looked at Park Sang-yeop and shouted.
“Did you know this would happen?”
He had no idea. But what does that matter?
Park Sang-yeop shouted as he stretched out his hands to the sky.
“Damn it! I believed it!”
Jung Ki-hong burst into tears without knowing it.
“Oh oh! CEO Kang Jin-hoo!”
Shouts erupted throughout the company. Staff clapped, jumped in place and hugged each other.
It wasn’t over yet, but it felt like everyone was about to fall to the bottom of Hell and barely managed to be a knight.
Park Sang-yeop said looking at the staff.
“Good! Let’s do it!”
“Wow!”
Taek-gyu looked at him with a happy expression on his face.
‘okay. This is the reaction I wanted!’

Golden Gate Korean branch.
Ellie was startled by the news from the United States and China one after another and looked at Hyun-Joo Oh.
“How did this happen? Did you know?”
“no. I didn’t know either.”
Oh Hyun-joo, who had been silent for a moment, burst into laughter as if it was ridiculous.
“I thought they were still lovers, but now they are all grown up.”
I must have deceived everyone and prepared a card like this.
Hedge funds launched an offensive, and almost all financial institutions were fleeing China. Some investment companies were taking short positions along with hedge funds to recover their losses.
Among US IBs, JP Morgan was the most active in short selling.
JP Morgan is known as Rothschild’s main bank, with a significant portion of the stake being owned by Rothschild.
On the other hand, Golden Gate has taken a neutral stance.
She called her husband.
Henry said in a relieved voice.
[I was really surprised. I wish I had prepared a card like this.]“I think I have to learn from both of them now.”
[It’s not over yet.]It has only just succeeded in firing. All work will be completed only when the spacecraft carrying the mined samples returns.
“If it’s Jinhoo and Taekkyu, we will definitely do it.”
Henry agreed with her.
[I think so too.]Knowing who will win, it is clear what to do.

2 months ago.
When I met with President Zhang Pinghua and Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu, I talked about JN Battery and plans to mine geratinium from the moon as a way to prevent the collapse of the Chinese economy.
Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu asked with an absurd look.
“You want to make a battery by mining geratinium from the moon? Do you think that would be possible?”
“Isn’t China capable enough?”
After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, space was nothing more than an American arena. China is the country that has come up with a new challenge here.
In the early days of China’s space industry, the People’s Liberation Army was in charge. However, as the scale grew, China established the National Port of Heaven in 1993 and started full-scale space development.
Exact data are not disclosed, but it is estimated that the annual budget alone is 10 billion dollars and the number of people involved is over 300,000.
In the past, the space race was a battle for pride between hegemons. But in modern times, it has begun to take on a slightly different meaning.
The space industry itself began to become money.
The moon is the most important forward base for advancing into space. Just as the United States pursued the Constellation and Artemis plans to build manned bases and launchers on the moon, China also announced the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program for lunar exploration and construction of Giza.
Starting with the launch of Chang’e 1 to the moon in 2007, Chang’e 3 was landed on the moon in 2013, and Chang’e 4 carrying a rover was landed on the far side of the moon for the first time in the world in 2018 to investigate the geological structure and resources of the moon. .
After several successful lunar missions, China’s National Port of Heaven hastened the launch of Chang’e 5. Unlike the previous exploration, Chang’e 5 was scheduled to return to Earth by collecting resource samples from the lunar surface and then docking it unmanned in lunar orbit.
“You just need to change the spear plan a little. However, the whole process must be carried out in secret.”
If known, sabotage will come in by all means. Rothschild’s influence extends to the United States and Europe.
On the other hand, China strongly regulates foreign capital in the financial market. So the Rothschilds are trying to dominate the Chinese financial market through this.
President Zhang Pinghua asked.
“Do you know what it means to launch rockets in secret?”
“I know.”
All you have to do is trick the whole world and send your spacecraft to the moon. But it’s not as simple as it sounds.
The basic principle is the same as for a spacecraft or an ICBM.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
When cargo or equipment is loaded onto a rocket that can break through the atmosphere and sent to space, it becomes a spaceship, and when it is dropped back to the ground with a nuclear warhead, it becomes an ICBM.
Since launching a satellite or missile can be a provocation against neighboring countries, the international community must be notified in advance.
However, in order to do this in secret, you have to take a certain amount of risk.
The US and China are imaginary enemies of each other. Firing rockets in secret is revealing the most important military card to the enemy.
Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu said sternly.
“How can you believe that geratinium exists on the moon and that you can make a battery out of it?”
I did not back down and responded.
“When I gave advice to prepare for the Big One, President Ronald said the same thing. If you hadn’t believed me then, what would America be like today?”
Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu frowned at my words, but said nothing.
At that time, Big One was a threat that might or might not come. The financial crisis, on the other hand, is already happening.
“If you think about the possibility of failure, you can just sit back and watch China collapse.”
Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu hit the table hard.
“Shut up your words! Do you think China can’t defeat the speculators?”
“The situation is different then and now.”
“What is different?”
“The enemy has become stronger. Unless I’m an idiot, I won’t repeat the same mistakes as last time.”
Hedge funds launched an offensive with full preparations. On the other hand, the economic situation in China is worse than before.
Prime Minister Bo Xiaoyu told President Zhang Pinghua.
“The odds of success are extremely slim. You can’t take risks in things you’re not sure about.”
If the launch of Space Z fails, the market will take it as my failure. Likewise, if China fails to launch a rocket, people will take it as a failure of President Zhang Pinghua.
Now, China is focusing its efforts on defending against attacks from speculative forces.
It would be difficult to avoid political accusations if it became known that money and time were wasted on useless things in this situation.
The Communist Party justified its dictatorship by stating the achievements of economic growth. The collapse of the Chinese economy meant that the state-led, planned economy system led by the Communist Party was being shaken at its root.
There is already a division within the party, and there is even talk of returning to the collective leadership system.
As it is unknown what kind of aftermath will strike if he fails, he too must risk his political life.
“I’ll bet everything here. If it fails, the OTK Company will go bankrupt before the Chinese economy collapses.”
People lie, but money doesn’t lie.
I looked directly at President Zhang Pinghua and said.
“If you are afraid of failure, you cannot do anything. Even if it pours out foreign exchange reserves to defeat the speculative forces, do you think China will be okay? Even if we win, the Chinese economy will be in ruins.”
Attrition battles inflict great damage on the winning side or the losing side.
China also had to bear huge losses when it defeated the speculative forces last time. Foreign exchange reserves have shrunk, consumption has slumped due to a hastily raised deposit interest rate, and many companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Zhang Pinghua, who had been staring at my face for a while, slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s dry. Whether it is heaven or earth will be decided with just one match.”
