London.

St. Mary's Hospital.

Zhou Hexuan looked in the mirror again and again, very unhappy, he was so broken.

The small half of the ear that had been blown off by the bullet had been sewn back up, but the scar was faintly visible. The most speechless thing is that there is a hole in the center of the auricle, the kind that is breathable, although it is not big, but it is very eye-catching.

In addition, Zhou Hexuan's side face also left a bullet mark, extending from the cheekbone to the root of the ear, making his handsome face have a tough guy temperament.

"Don't sigh, I think it's pretty good." Zhang Leyi comforted.

Ma Jue also smiled and said: "Yes, I also think it's very good-looking, and national heroes should be like this." A scar is a medal. ”

After the nurse removed the stitches on the ear, the doctor examined the wound on Zhou Hexuan's abdomen and said, "Mr. Zhou, the wound has recovered quickly and can be discharged from the hospital." However, do not do strenuous exercise, it is easy to cause the wound to burst. Also drink plenty of water, you have taken an overdose of sulfonamides. ”

"Thank you, doctor." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Yu Peichen asked, "Sir, do you have to go through the discharge procedures today?" ”

"Why was it discharged? I haven't fully recovered from my injuries. Zhou Hexuan said without thinking.

Now the whole world is scolding Japan, as long as Zhou Hexuan stays in the hospital for one more day, Japan will be scolded for one more day. At the same time, the pressure of public opinion on the British government is also related to Zhou Hexuan's hospitalization.

How can I be discharged from the hospital at this time?

And when I went home, I could only lie in bed to rest, and the wound on my abdomen was too big, and it would take at least ten days and half a month to recover.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Yu Peichen immediately ran to open the door.

Howard Sassoon put his hands in his pockets, smiled and walked in and said, "Zhou, it seems that you are recovering well." ”

"Are you here to see a joke?" Zhou Hexuan didn't have a good airway.

"No, no," Howard Sassoon shook his head, "you're not a joke, you're a hero, and the Mayor of London has decided to give you the title of 'Honorary Citizen'." ”

"That's an honor." Zhou Hexuan's tone was mocking.

Howard Sassoon snatched the fruit basket from his entourage, put it on the bedside and said, "Can you talk about it alone?" ”

"Of course." Zhou Hexuan motioned for Zhang Leyi and Ma Jue to go out.

After the ward was emptied, Howard Sassoon smiled and said, "Our plan was successful, and the British government convened a cabinet meeting to determine to bypass Japan and help China solve the silver crisis." ”

"Congratulations." Zhou Hexuan said.

"Each other, each other." Howard Sassoon said.

In fact, as early as the ninth day of Zhou Hexuan's assassination, the Nanjing Nationalist Government had already announced a currency reform. Without the support of any state, it unilaterally implemented a fiat currency policy, banned the circulation of private silver, and declared that China's fiat currency was pegged to the pound sterling.

Obviously, Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen have been driven crazy, and China's economic situation is so bad that it can't be delayed any longer, even if the principal and foreign exchange reserves are not enough, they can only take risks and issue fiat currency in advance.

Historically, Britain was trapped in this way, because the Nanjing government unilaterally announced that it was pegged to the British pound, which led Japan and the United States to think that China and Britain had a secret deal.

Britain is like a little daughter-in-law who has been forcibly taken home by a poor man, and for its own interests, it reluctantly provides help to China one after another. Annoyed, Japan began to spread rumors and run on Chinese silver, almost destroying the credibility of the newly issued fiat currency.

China's currency reform caused the international silver price to plummet, and the silver group on the American side was unprofitable, and finally agreed to Roosevelt's intervention. By that time, the United States had lost the opportunity and had to quietly negotiate with the United Kingdom, and the two countries would join forces to crowd out the yen with dollars and pounds.

There were no real victors, and China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, having dragged on the silver crisis, did not reap much of the benefits.

Now that Zhou Hexuan is doing this, Japan is at a loss, and Britain has no worries. Although the date of the Nanking government's monetary reform has not changed, the British have decided to move forward. The changes brought about by this are: China's fiat currency can be issued more smoothly, Chinese businessmen and ordinary people will have a better life, and foreign businessmen who invest in China can reduce their losses. And Japan's run speculation is no longer so effective, and the black money is not as much as it was historically.

As for the rest, nothing has changed.

Zhou Hexuan felt very relieved that he had contributed to the country, at least he could make the national capital and the common people slow down. Of course, being shot in the black still made him very depressed, which was purely unexpected.

Who made Japan so stupid, Li Hongzhang was inexplicably shot by the Japanese back then, and as a result, the military compensation of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" was 100 million taels of silver.

Where is Zhou Hexuan going to reason?

"When will Britain strike?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

"It's already done," Howard Sassoon complained, "and the cabinet has been meeting for nearly half a month to discuss, and those idiots are too slow." At present, HSBC (Shanghai) has mobilized funds to provide China with sufficient pound sterling foreign exchange to ensure the smooth issuance of China's fiat currency. ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "Everyone is happy." ”

Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen played very slippery this time, and unilaterally and forcibly announced that the fiat currency was pegged to the pound without the consent of the United Kingdom. The British government has not been able to explain the misunderstanding caused by Japan and the United States, because British businessmen in China are also secretly fueling the trouble.

The next thing is easy to do, HSBC (Shanghai) controls the financial power of China Customs, and has a large amount of British pound foreign exchange, which is enough to support the smooth issuance of fiat currency.

Japan will certainly be very uncomfortable, but it can only be uncomfortable, and at most it will play some shady tricks such as rumor-mongering and runs.

"You don't mind if I smoke, do you?" Howard Sassoon pulled out his humidor.

"Of course I mind, I'm a wounded." Zhou Hexuan said.

Howard Sassoon swallowed, could only put the cigar back in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Big hero, when you recover and are discharged from the hospital, I will prepare a big drinking party for you." ”

"There's no need." Zhou Hexuan said.

"So be it, see you next time." Howard Sassoon stood up and said.

As soon as this guy opened the door, he saw a bunch of women and children standing outside, Meng Xiaodong, Wanrong, Liao Yaquan and Ruan Lingyu all came with children, and even his godsister Zhou Xuan was standing in the aisle.

"Brother Xuan!"

"Brother Xuan, are you okay?"

"Brother, does the wound still hurt?"

"Dad, where are you hurt, I'll blow it to you."

"Dad, your classmates say you're a big hero!"

“……”

Howard watched a bunch of women rush into the ward, stunned, and then said with a strange smile: "Chinese men are really happy, I like China." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan in surprise: "Why are you here together?" ”

Meng Xiaodong explained: "I happened to be performing in Shanghai, and Miss Ruan took the initiative to contact me, and then we asked Wanrong to come by boat with them. ”

What Zhou Hexuan didn't know was that Vivien Leigh was also here, and she had just gotten off the boat and rushed here.

The ward will soon explode......
