Chapter 213: False Prosperity
In 1920, the world was enjoying the benefits of technological innovation, and everyone was immersed in enjoyment, and the post-war world reopened the global economic market, and trade became another invisible battlefield.
"The Soviet kind?" Yarma didn't quite understand, "Which one?" What institution? ”
Eric touched his nose, and the next thing to say is the taboo in the world of capital.
"Market regulation."
Luther's eyes widened, and Armar let go of his hand in fright, and the teacup fell to the ground along a branch.
Syllable!
"Absolutely not!" Almar didn't care if the teacup was dropped or not, his mind was now full of a red map of Germany.
Eric knew that this reaction would occur, and did not stop Yarmar from standing up in anger and speaking out against it.
Luther, on the contrary, was much calmer, but he could not accept such an approach either.
When Eric established the Federal Republic of Germany, he made a short round of macro and micro control through parliament and strong connections, and everyone reluctantly accepted it. After all, the situation was really bad, and if there was no strong hand axe to finance, it was not only the common people who suffered, but also the bankers, entrepreneurs, and aristocrats who had a lot of money and reserves that could not be used.
This time, Eric's market regulation was obviously trying to refer to the practice of the Soviet Union, and the German capitalists and aristocrats could not accept it, because everyone was worried that if they didn't get it right, they would be dyed red together.
Eric can understand Yarmar's loss of control, if one day the president of Germany tells him that in the future, when the Eric Group wants to sell, buy, how much it spends, how many goods it buys, how much foreign exchange it earns, and how much technology it changes, it will have to be honestly reported to the government, Eric's first thought will only be to move.
This is the reason why the Soviet Union was resisted by the Western world, and all governments had the final say, and all the measures taken were to eliminate any privileged class, and how countries such as Britain and Germany could possibly accept it. How can a country like the United States, which is dominated by the trust bloc, give up its vested interests?
Although the situation in France is better, their attitude towards the Soviet Union is completely based on the restrictions on Germany, and if the Soviet Union really endangers France, France will definitely put aside its century-old enmity and fight the Soviet Union to the end, this is a political issue, and it is the interest issue that the entire elite is most concerned about.
The Second German Reich was a classic case of abandonment by the capitalists, and Eric had to pay attention to it, and the best solution was to learn from the Soviet Union.
In the same way, the status quo is cruel to Eric, he is not a god, he can't blow a fairy breath to make everyone do what he commands, once Germany is forced into the wagon of war by careerists, the driver of this carriage will not be him, but the capitalists and nobles and the military.
Although Germany, which was not as vengeful as in the original history, still kept its sanity, the Prussian militarism that Eric feared and admired the most was more perfect.
Eric's Jedi counterattack has been regarded by historians around the world as the most successful case of enthronement, and in the United States, Eric has been elevated to the same level as Washington.
"I mean it's good for us to learn what they are good at." Eric tries to fade the red shadow in the hearts of the two.
At this moment, Ananta had already opened the door and walked in. "Mr. President, is there anything you need?" She heard a noise.
"No need, you wait outside, you don't need anything here, no matter who comes to me, let them wait first." Eric's voice was a little weak, though he remained calm.
Eric was sad, and the hand-picked Yarma was his friend, and his unhesitating opposition to this matter made Eric helpless about what happened next.
Looking at Eric's performance, Luther thought for a moment and said. "Mr. President never discusses a matter for no reason, Almar, why don't you listen to it first?"
Luther seems to be persuading Alma, but in fact he is giving Eric a chance to go downhill, hurry back, otherwise it won't end and everyone will be embarrassed.
Yarma couldn't hear anything, but he knew Eric very well, and it seemed that he was discussing, but in fact, if he had an idea, he would desperately try to find a way to realize it, which was also something he was deeply afraid of now.
In Yarmar's view, Germany's economic momentum is now very good, with a president like Eric who founded the country with force, and his wife Eric Group is the country's leading financial hegemon, the situation is already very good, and there is no need to do anything more.
The ability to return to the position of the world's second-largest economy in 1919 is a testament to the strength of the government, and Eric, who was re-elected for a 16-year term, was almost one of the greatest men in German history. Maybe it can surpass the United States and become the world's largest economy, Yarmar never dared to think before, but now it has the capital and time to fight.
After Luther's words, Eric did not react, and Yarma did not seem to buy it, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.
Eric was first disheartened, then angry.
If he hadn't turned the tide in Germany, it would still be a scene of starvation, and the whole country would be in chaos in the dark.
"Damn capital, really, damn capital!" Eric said what was really going on in his heart.
Luther was confused by this play, and Yarma was also a little stunned, what happened to Eric today?
"You think it's ridiculous, but it's not." Eric adjusted his mindset and didn't want to give up on the plan. "This is for the collective good, not only the capitalists and aristocrats who can only drink blood and flesh, but also the broad masses of the people."
It was the first time Luther had seen Eric talk about this, and he was a little curious. Yarma had known Eric for a long time and had heard it when he talked to him.
"If you think about it carefully, it has only been more than one year since the end of the war, and the volume of global trade has increased several times instead of decreasing and unstable, which is abnormal!" The more Eric spoke, the more agitated he became, and he stood up.
"I have a hunch that this financial crisis will come soon, and it will be ferocious, and if it is not done well, it will disrupt the entire world pattern and reshuffle the cards." Eric was not afraid to say that the answer flashed his tongue.
After all, the financial crisis is mysterious and mysterious, and no one can say when it will come, where it will come, or how fierce it will be.
He was just another prophet who knew history and prophesied in advance.
"It's not surprising, this is the status quo of capital operation, it is uncontrollable, you can control your own house but you can't instruct others to be as selfless as you." What Yarma said was true, and Eric understood it.
He certainly understands that the financial crisis has continued uninterrupted into his time, and he knows the pain behind it, but no one is willing to contribute his own strength to alleviate it.
Eric is a little desperate, is there really no way? Is it really just a matter of allowing this crisis to devastate the German Confederation, which he has struggled with?
