English term or phrase: WALL STREET OUTPOST
Good evening!

I'm trying to figure out a translation on African politics, war and world situation. I'm a French-specialised translator but have been asked to translate from English to Spanish for once and I'm stuck at some stages. For instance:

"The demonstrations and unrest shook the foundations of the Pentagon and Wall Street outpost which serves as a bulwark against the reunification of the Peninsula and the attempts aimed at the destabilization of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) based in Pyongyang".

What would "outpost" mean in this context? It is my understanding "outpost" mean avanzadilla, a war-related term, so I cannot guess its meaning accompanying "Wall Street". Could you pleas help me out?

Thank you so much!!

Spearhead is a synonym for outpost.

The Pentagon and Wall Street are used as symbols of the Evil Empire . The text seems to refer to South Korea.
