The Financial World Was About to Be Rocked!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host. You have received two new snippets of future information.]

Two messages?

Zucker didn't hesitate. He immediately checked the two messages.

"Th-this—this can't be real?!"

He hadn't known until he looked, but once he did... he was utterly stunned!

Message One: The Iraq issue.

On October 2, the U.S. Congress unanimously passed an agreement explicitly authorizing the president to use the armed forces whenever he deemed it necessary and appropriate.

What did that mean?

It meant the president of the United States had been given permission to deploy the U.S. military at any time and place, and to order military action against Iraq and Saddam Hussein.

This was the infamous Iraq War!

The war's main fighting alone lasted a full month, completely destroying Saddam Hussein's government. Hundreds of thousands of people died, while millions—tens of millions—were displaced and left struggling to survive. In the following decade and more, thousands of U.S. soldiers would also die, as the country became mired in war.

With the U.S. military's mobilization, defense contractors, grain and oil futures, and other industries would soon soar!

At the same time, the prices of gold, silver, and oil would all skyrocket.

Now that was what you called a wealth code...

This was it!!!

"However, this isn't what made me lose my composure. As someone who's traveled through time, I already know about it! Not only that, I even know the Iraq War will begin on March 20, 2003!"

"After all, this is a Big Event!"

"Even without the system's reminder, I know all about it!"

"But... the second message from the system really caught me completely off guard!"

Message Two: The Switzerland issue.

On October 18, 2002, Swiss voters approved a resolution to join the United Nations, making Switzerland its 191st member state.
