Chapter 106: Currency Wars

"Don't be in a hurry, Shacht." Leon smiled calmly, "What if we can do it without leaving people unemployed?" ”

After saying that, Leon looked at the group proudly, waiting for them to ask themselves impatiently, "Then what".

However, the group of people did not speak, but looked at Leon quietly, and they strongly condemned Leon's appetizing statement.

Seeing that no one responded to him, this made Leon a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat, and explained helplessly: "I plan to give them jobs instead of relief, we pay for the construction of public facilities, and the people contribute to work, so that we not only pay for the construction of public facilities, but also solve the problem of people's work and food, the best of both worlds." ”

"That's a great idea!" Speer's eyes lit up and he said, "Cash-for-work, the Führer is really amazing!" ”

"Haha!" Leon listened to Speer's praise, laughed twice, then looked at the adoring eyes of the crowd and said, "Alas, low-key. ”

"Okay, okay." Everyone nodded and smiled, solving the biggest trouble of people's livelihood and making everyone's mood much better.

"So, Führer, the United States has raised import tariffs to pass on the economic crisis, do we need to follow suit?" Schacht asked.

"No, we don't raise tariffs." Leon shook his head.

"However, if we do not raise tariffs, Germany will become the target of dumping surplus goods by other industrial countries, and then our hard work will be in vain." Hans Luther urgently.

"We are not not not going to raise tariffs, but we are going to suspend all import programs with the countries of the great powers!" Leon said coldly, "At the same time, we will increase imports from the weak and small countries around us, but all settlement currencies must be in marks!" I'm going to take this opportunity to create a currency, a mark-standard area around it. ”

"Mark on the line?!" Everyone was stunned by Lyon's ambition, "This is not easy to do, not to mention the United States and the Soviet Union, even Britain and France around us will not agree to us to build a mark standard area." ”

"They? Hum! Leon snorted, "Let's find a way to make sure they survive this crisis safely." ”

"What about ourselves? Are we also going to give up the gold standard? Schacht asked.

"Of course, the gold standard should have been abandoned." Lyon replied, "If the regional mark standard is successful, we will be able to control the economies of all the countries in the mark standard, and then we in Germany will be able to return to or even surpass our former international position." ”

Everyone was silent, and if the "regional mark standard" proposed by Lyon could succeed, then Germany would really get rid of all the negative effects of the defeat in World War I and become a world power again.

Such a bright future has made everyone here start to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan.

"I support this plan of the Führer." After thinking about it for a long time, Schacht expressed his support, "I have to say that in the current situation, it is really very feasible!" ”

"I also support, for the sake of great Germany!" Hans Luther stood up and said firmly.

"For the great Germany!" Everyone else stood up and shouted.

The natural efficiency of the Germans allowed Lyon's orders to be carried out flawlessly and quickly.

A week later, 15 railways and 47 roads were built in Germany, and the construction of these infrastructures has greatly reduced the pressure on employment in Germany.

At the same time, under Schacht's auspices, Germany began to increase its support for farmers, raising the prices of agricultural products to stimulate agricultural production.

And with the temporary suspension of Germany's imports of all goods from the great powers, the economic crisis in the rest of Europe became even more serious.

Just as the Great Powers relaxed their surveillance of Germany in an effort to solve their own problems, Lyon's plan for an economic invasion, code-named "Currency Wars," unfolded silently.

Czechoslovakia borders with Germany.

"Don't crowd everyone, line up one by one!" Standing on a truck, Richard shouted in Czech to the crowd in front of him, "Even if we buy enough today, we will come tomorrow!" ”

Richard was originally just an ordinary bank clerk, but after the economic crisis broke out, his bank went bankrupt and he lost his job.

After losing his job, Richard and the dense number of unemployed people looked for work on the street for more than a month, but in today's environment, it is difficult to protect the enterprises that have not gone bankrupt.

So Richard, who had been wandering for more than a month, not only did he not find a job, but he also spent the little money he had left in his pocket.

Just when he spent the last bit of money on a loaf of bread, he finally saw "the most beautiful people in the world" - a group of recruiters.

He hurriedly swallowed the small bread in three or two bites, and at the same time rushed with the crowd towards the recruiter.

After a "hard struggle" with his compatriots, he finally squeezed in front of the recruiter.

"You, hello, my name is Richard." He gasped for breath as he introduced himself to the recruiter.

"Well, hello, Mr. Richard, what was your previous job? What are the specialties? The recruiter lowered his head and said mechanically.

"Okay, I'm a former bank clerk, and I'm fluent in German, English, and Czechoslovaki Chinese a."

"Oh? Are you fluent in Czech? The recruiter looked up and gave Richard an interested look.

"Yes, I grew up in the Sudetenland as a child, so I'm fluent in Czech." As soon as Richard heard that the other party was interested, he felt that he probably had a play.

Sure enough, the man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are very suitable for a job on our side, come here, you have been admitted." ”

Richard thanked him happily when he heard this, and then walked behind him with the envious eyes of others.

The recruitment lasted for a long time, and the recruiters carefully selected a small number of people who were proficient in foreign languages from among the thousands of unemployed, and then took this small group of people into trucks and drove towards the city hall.

When they arrived at the city hall, an official picked them up from their car and took them to a conference room.

"Gentlemen, I guess you're curious as to why you're here." The official smiled and said to everyone, "Oh, maybe someone has already guessed it, yes, the person who hired you is the government, the Führer!" ”

"Führer? The Führer hired us?! ”

"God! Did I hear me right? I'm a civil servant too?! Hearing this, the people below let out a commotion.

"Be quiet, guys." The officer patted the table, "I know you're excited to find a job in this damn environment, I understand that." But you should always hear me tell us about what your future work is, right? ”
