After dinner, father and son went to the study.

"Why, you love to drink Sanhua so much?"

Ling Shizhe nodded and said: "I'm used to drinking, I can't change it, this is good, this can remind me all the time, don't forget my roots, our Ling family is not born a rich family, Dad, you were also poor and bitter when you were young, at that time, don't talk about Sanhua, you don't even have tea foam, right?" Like last time, Ling Shizhe made Ling Zhigao a cup of high-quality jasmine tea, and made himself Sanhua.

Sanhua is the third-grade jasmine tea, the republic's grading of tea, the third-grade jasmine tea, the quality is very low, almost all of them are tea stalks, bitter and astringent to death, after the development of China in later generations, the tea that ordinary people drink, except for those who drink special offerings for the privileged class, which is not first-class, special-grade? Don't talk about Sanhua, even Erhua can't be seen on the market, if you want to find Erhua, you have to go to remote villages, you can find it.

The Sanhua that Ling Shizhe drank was a tea stalk that no one wanted from the tea factory that the boss of his previous life bought from the tea factory in order to save money, and used it as a welfare for employees.

Smelling the smell of Sanhua, he felt very kind, and he was able to stabilize his mind, he was a traverser, he had suffered too much in his previous life, and he became rich in this life, if a person suddenly became rich, his mentality would be seriously unbalanced, if he did not adjust his mentality to a normal state, he would completely lose his direction and destroy himself, this kind of example should not be too many, in order not to let himself be lost, Ling Shizhe used Sanhua to adjust his mentality, so that he always maintained a normal heart.

But this sentence is completely different to Ling Zhigao's ears, in Ling Zhigao's opinion, this is Ling Shizhe's good attitude of not being shocked, and his eyes are full of appreciation for Ling Shizhe.

Ling Shizhe didn't care what he thought in his heart, and talked to Ling Zhigao about some gossip again, and then went around to the Bretton Woods system, like last time, Ling Zhigao never thought that he would disintegrate, the reason is that the current dollar is the world currency, is an important foreign exchange reserve of various countries, relying on this system, the United States can become a superpower, if the Bretton Woods system disintegrates, won't the dollar become a piece of waste paper, then the United States is still a superpower? Then the United States is not finished, is this possible?

Ling Zhigao's question, Ling Shizhe understood why the last conversation broke up unhappily, Ling Zhigao obviously entered a misunderstanding, what is this misunderstanding? In his subconscious, once the Bretton Woods system disintegrates, the dollar will become waste paper, and the dollar will become waste paper, and the US economy will be finished.

This is a completely wrong logical circle, in the later generations of any person can see, with the power of the Internet, search on Baidu, can find out a lot of Bretton Woods system related knowledge, from the reasons for his establishment and historical background, the development process to the final disintegration of the cause, all explained clearly, these articles are all those international top financial experts summarized the essence, the language is quite refined, ordinary people do not need to have how advanced financial expertise, can understand, So that everyone can say one, two, three reasons for the collapse of the Bretton Woods system.

But in this day and age, who knows what people know about the Bretton Woods system, except for those experts who specialize in financial research? Looking at the relevant documents of the Bretton Woods system, the legal provisions on them are jerky and profound, if there is no expert to explain to you, what can ordinary people understand?

The Bretton Woods system is a very profound thing for most ordinary people in this era, and Ling Zhigao's misunderstandings are completely normal.

Ling Zhigao's erroneous ideological cognition of the Bretton Woods system is not an isolated case, but the cognition of the vast majority of ordinary people in this era, which is very representative and universal.

The reason why Ling Shizhe failed in the last conversation was that he ignored the fact that people in this era did not understand the Bretton Woods system, that is, the gold-dollar system, at all.

First of all, he had to give Ling Zhigao a bit of knowledge about the Bretton Woods system, and then explain to him the various problems encountered by the Bretton Woods system in the process of historical development, as well as the various measures taken by the governments of the United States and other countries, and finally used his own words to explain the reasons why the Bretton Woods system disintegrated.

Ling Shizhe spoke for two hours, Ling Zhigao also fully understood, after listening, he didn't say anything, but he was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Ling Shizhe to have such a deep understanding of the Bretton Woods system, the language he just told was quite straightforward, people who are completely ignorant of financial knowledge can understand it, and he understands the extent to which he understands this system, you can imagine.

Ling Shizhe didn't continue to speak, he wanted to give Ling Zhigao a period of time to digest, and by the way, he also drank saliva, smoked a cigarette, and rested.

Ay! It's really tiring to give people popular science, all aspects must be considered, all aspects must be explained clearly, and you can't explain the complexity yet, you must be simple and straightforward, so that others can understand, otherwise, you will talk in vain.

This is even harder than the dungeon command of the famous online game "World of Warcraft" in later generations, especially when you encounter a novice like Ling Zhigao, you have to be so tired that you vomit three liters of blood.

After a long time, Ling Zhigao raised his head and asked, "Will the United States ......?" ”

"Okay, let's talk about the next question, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, that is, the gold-dollar system, will the United States be finished?"

Ling Zhigao nodded.

"To illustrate this problem, first of all, you have to know, what is the reason why the United States has become a superpower?"

Ling Zhigao said without any thought: "Military." ”

"Wrong, it's not his military strength, but because of his comprehensive national strength, it is precisely because of the comprehensive national strength of the United States that the dollar will become the world currency, not because of his military and financial, financial and strong military power, but because of the benefits brought by the strong comprehensive national strength of the United States." Suddenly, he somewhat understood the reason why GMD failed, they never understood what comprehensive national strength is, they only superficially believed that the United States' strong military strength and all kinds of advanced weapons were because of the United States' developed economy, and the United States economy was indeed developed, but this development was based on strong comprehensive national strength.

What is comprehensive national strength? I'm afraid many people don't know.

National power is the most important indicator to measure a country's basic national conditions and basic resources, and it is also a comprehensive indicator to measure a country's economic, political, military, cultural and technological strength.

Comprehensive national strength is the combined force of all the strength and international influence that a sovereign country relies on for its survival and development.

The connotation of comprehensive national strength is very rich, and its constituent elements include both natural and social; It contains both material and spiritual content; It contains not only strength, but also potential and the mechanism for transforming potential into strength, which is a complex of organic correlation and interaction between a country's politics, economy, science and technology, culture, education, national defense, diplomacy, resources, national will, cohesion and other factors.

Comprehensive national strength is a systematic concept, so it should be understood, analyzed, and defined from a systematic point of view.

Comprehensive national strength is not a simple sum of its constituent elements, but the overall function of a system with certain structural characteristics and certain operating laws constituted by the interconnection and interaction of various elements, and the status or level of its functions is determined not only by the status or level of each element of its constituent elements, but also by the structural proportion and coupling mechanism between its constituent elements.

The structure of comprehensive national strength is very complex, including not only the "internal ability" (i.e., the ability to survive and develop) to do a good job in the country's internal affairs, but also the "external ability" of the country to influence and control other countries in international affairs. It includes not only the "hard power" of military, economic, scientific and technological development, but also the attractiveness of a country's ideology or the "soft power" of establishing a politically oriented ability that can reflect the will of other countries to a certain extent; [1] It includes not only the innate national resource endowment (i.e., geographical location, natural resources, etc.), but also the acquired ability through hard work (i.e., technological, economic, military, etc.).

In a simple description of the comprehensive national strength, we can judge the reason for the failure of GMD, when they were competing with GCD, they did not make full use of the above resources, they were not only corrupt ** or embezzlement**, or they were foreign compradors to make money.

On the contrary, although the GCD at that time did not understand what comprehensive national strength was, they made full use of all the resources related to the comprehensive national strength, and in addition to their honesty and integrity, they were supported by the broad masses of the people, even the capitalists supported them in the end, and in the face of the rotten GMD, it was natural to beat them to pieces, no matter how the United States supported him, he was a failure, and the second KMT-Communist War, that is, the War of Liberation, was doomed to the failure of GMD from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe secretly shook his head, he didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, Lao Tzu in charge of him would repair him ruthlessly, because he Lao Tzu was a dignified GMD lieutenant general, and if he said it, he would only find death, he wouldn't be so stupid.

Ling Zhigao didn't know what he was thinking, but he was interested in the idea of comprehensive national strength proposed by Ling Shizhe, Ling Shizhe suddenly thought that this idea seemed to have been put forward in the late 70s, well, he gave birth to a new idea in advance, and had to spend a lot of saliva to explain what comprehensive national strength is.

After explaining the idea of comprehensive national strength, we will use the concept of comprehensive national strength to measure the question of whether the US economy will be finished.

Ling Shizhe spent a lot of saliva to explain the relationship between the United States' comprehensive national strength and the Bretton Woods system, and finally concluded: "All in all, the disintegration of the Bretton Woods system will not have any bad impact on the United States, but it will be very beneficial to him, because in this way, the United States will justifiably rely on a lot of international debts, and the United States will repay its debts.

Don't tell me anything about international credit, when have those foreigners abided by international credit and social responsibility, they will never be good people if they can be robbers, they will never be gentlemen if they can be rogues, and only fools will be gentlemen and good people. If you take a closer look at how those Western countries developed in history, one of them developed through hard work and became rich, why are they so rich, they didn't get rich as robbers, and that country in the West didn't get rich like this?

Of course, when the Bretton Woods system just collapsed, there would be a certain amount of chaos in international finance in a short period of time, and the dollar would become waste paper in a short period of time, but this was a short period of time, and with the strong comprehensive national strength of the United States, the dollar would eventually become the main international currency. The United States has found a new direction for the dollar, that is, the material currency system, once oil and food, two indispensable resources for people, are linked to the dollar, the dollar will once again become an international hard currency, no country's modernization and development can be separated from oil, no country can survive without eating, as long as they need oil and food, they need to use dollars to buy, to obtain dollars, those countries can only use their own resources to exchange with the United States, in exchange for dollars, Then use the dollar to buy oil and grain, this is the petrodollar system and the food dollar system.

This plan has been planned by the United States for more than 20 years, and it is almost ready, and now they just lack an opportunity, and the opportunity is the Middle East war, once the Middle East war starts, the United States will announce the decoupling of the dollar from gold, now you should understand why the United States would rather offend all the Middle East oil-producing countries, but also support Israel, because Israel plays a key role in the petrodollar, and the reason why the United States spares no effort to support Israel is because the American economy is controlled by the American Jewish group, The most important thing is that Israel promises to help the United States peg the dollar to oil and become the-stirring stick of the United States in the Middle East.

If the Middle East countries do not agree, the Middle East war will not end for a day, and if they want to usher in peace, the Middle East countries must agree to the petrodollar plan, otherwise the United States will not mind completely destroying the Middle East.

As for the European countries, they can only agree to the US petrodollar plan, hmph, if they don't agree, they have to agree, otherwise the dollars held by those countries will become waste paper, and the wealth accumulated over decades will come to naught, coupled with the Soviet Union's military threat to Europe, they want to get US military support, and they have to agree to the US petrodollar plan.

If they do not agree, the United States only needs to withdraw its troops in Europe, and the countries of Western Europe will start a mess before the Soviet Union can attack. That's all the U.S. plan, how about I make it clear enough? ”

Ling Zhigao was dumbfounded by Ling Shizhe's powerful reasoning, in order to prove the disintegration of the gold dollar, he actually found such a strange reason, saying that he was right, this is too unbelievable, right, he couldn't find a reason to refute, all kinds of things that have happened in the world over the years seem to be developing according to what Ling Shizhe said.

Ling Zhigao was dizzy by him, took a sip of tea, stood up, waved his hand at him and said, "I can't tell you, your theory is too powerful." With that, he opened the door of the study and walked out.
