0420 Purchase of armaments
So many armaments? It's kind of ridiculous!
A group of councillors were talking, and Princess Katrina Kaaf nervously asked, "What's wrong?" ”
President Meng smiled slightly, leaning on Princess Katrina Kaf's soft body, "I'll come down, it's okay." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Are you alright?" Princess Katrina Kafu asked confusedly.
President Meng smiled: "Well, what? Do you still hope for something? ”
The speaker communicated with a few people around him for a while, and said coldly: "Okay, Mr. Representative of the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom, you have already said in detail, you can go and rest, and we will put it on the agenda for this week's discussion." ”
President Meng was very satisfied with his performance, and left with Princess Katrina Kaf, who was still in shock, and Li Xiande and Wang Zhankui, as well as President Meng's entourage, went out with him.
"What you just said is so good, it's just perfect, Mr. Yuemeng, congratulations!" Li Xiande thought that he was getting closer and closer to his plan, and said excitedly.
President Meng smiled faintly, and said in his heart, your special mother is still dreaming of occupying Taiwan, my country's inherent territory, by force? You wait to die! Dog stuff!
"Hehe, Mr. Li Xiande, thank you." President Meng glanced at Li Xiande with a smile.
President Meng is most satisfied with himself, not that he just used words to thwart the opposition parliamentarians, but that he threw out a golden plan that is not within the scope of today's discussion!
To improve the economic crisis, gold does play a vital role, but it is by no means a large number of government throws, but concerns about the people to save, savings is the root cause, a large number of selling, can only exacerbate the outbreak of the economic crisis!
However, no one just now argued with President Moe's point of view, he believes that the Americans of this era, or the Congress of this era, are indeed composed of empty heads of aristocrats, this is by no means a shrewd and efficient government, President Meng feels for the first time that the powers, the second powers, are really not so powerful! If it weren't for the fact that there was too much room for improvement in the national quality of the Great Qing Dynasty, it would be possible to beat the world within 20 years if it was a province!
This trip to the United States gave President Meng a more specific understanding of the economic crisis.
He also has a vague understanding of the Qing Kingdom, the world, and these strength comparisons, and he feels that he has gained a lot.
You know, in modern times, the farthest place President Meng went to, he didn't go abroad, this time he directly crossed the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean!
I'm going to go around the world.,Although I'm tired.,But President Meng is very happy.。
The blue sea, the blue clear sky, as if they all belonged to him.
Gold and the US dollar are the main international reserve assets, but there is an irreconcilable contradiction between gold and the US dollar - international liquidity is increasing and gold cannot grow in proportion.
As the contradictions continue to sharpen, a new international monetary system gradually takes shape, with the legalization of floating exchange rates, the demonetization of gold, the abolition of the official price of gold, and the ability of member states to buy and sell gold at market prices in the gold market.
President Moe has a new understanding of the money market and the economic crisis, and there are unemployed workers waiting for government relief everywhere, and he has a great feeling for President Moe.
As long as the international monetary system adopts a full credit standard, gold enters the demonetization phase and becomes a commodity.
Governments are free from the constraints of gold production and economic development, and can determine the supply of base money according to the needs of the actual economy.
The main driving force behind the complementary stage of economic globalization and financial liberalization is the United States.
At the same time, gold's position in the international monetary system has fallen rapidly, and some central banks have begun to continuously sell off gold reserves, resulting in a persistently depressed gold price, and investors have begun to distance themselves from gold, which only plays a role as a general commodity in the jewelry and industrial sectors.
However, the fatal flaw of credit currency has become more serious under the continuous quantitative easing in Europe and the United States, and the turbulence of the international political and economic situation has pushed gold from the edge to the foreground again and again.
During the financial crisis, the currencies of emerging market countries in East Asia were strongly impacted by European and American funds, and under the pressure of repaying their international debts, they called on their citizens to donate gold to relieve the country's difficulties.
Emerging market countries have placed considerable emphasis on the diversification of foreign exchange reserves, and gold reserves will enter the eyes of countries as an alternative.
On the basis of earning more than 220 million equivalent foreign exchange of China's official bank, President Meng has no intention of stopping.
Faced with the grim reality of the continuous depreciation of the US dollar as a foreign exchange reserve, the countries of the great powers have to re-examine the safe-haven function of gold in special periods.
Gold has reasserted its role as an anchor for financial stability.
After the demonetization of gold, the credit monetary system is unstable, and although the exchange rate mechanism dominated by floating exchange rates has played a certain positive role in adjusting the imbalance of international payments, it has led to a serious lack of stability in the international monetary system. The biggest winner of the floating exchange rate system is the United States, under the new exchange rate system, the dollar as foreign exchange has achieved a change in volatility from scratch, so the Fed's monetary policy has gained more room for maneuver, and it can choose the opportunity to coordinate the domestic and international market goals to maximize its national interests.
Foreign exchange risk is almost not taken seriously, and the demand for hedging in the process of international trade is rising, and the foreign exchange hedging tool to preserve the value of gold has come into being.
The operation of the global economy is constantly driven by credit leverage, and gold has shown itself to be the king of hedging risk and preserving assets during the crisis.
The hedging attribute of gold should be adjusted accordingly according to the characteristics of the market in order to achieve the role of value preservation and hedging risks.
The surge in demand for gold's safe-haven properties is partly due to the stimulus of the booming gold market after the demonetization of gold, as gold can meet the safe-haven investment demand that is translated into investors' expectations of distrust of credit currencies.
Gold is one of the most liquid assets in the world and is the only asset that does not have to be liquidated by national credit or corporate commitments.
People are happy to accept gold, and for large transactions, gold tends to be faster than other assets. Gold can not only be bought and sold in the financial market, but also has gradually become a recognized collateral, which has further enhanced its liquidity and further amplified its hedging function.
The reaffirmation of gold's safe-haven properties under new historical conditions has made people gradually realize that this round of economic crisis is different from the cyclical crisis in the past, and is more of a structural crisis under the current international monetary system, as long as the current international monetary system remains unchanged, no amount of monetary and fiscal policy can prevent the recurrence of imbalances. Therefore, for ordinary investors, it is necessary to grasp the hedging function of gold in times of political and economic turmoil, and flexibly respond to the purpose of hedging risks.
In short, before the design of a more authoritative and stable international currency to replace credit currency, the hedging demand for gold is an irreplaceable part of its asset portfolio for countries and economies, as well as private investors, and this hedging demand will always be accompanied by the defects of the international monetary system, sometimes due to the intensification of structural imbalances in the international monetary system and continue to emerge, and sometimes because the international monetary system is temporarily in equilibrium and silent.
"You really did a great job just now, President!" It's the first time that Princess Katrina Kave has called Xuan Yuemeng so sweet and greasy, "I really admire you!" ”
President Meng smiled slightly: "It's nothing, don't be too happy too soon, it's hard to say what the specific result is." ”
Li Xiande nodded and said, "Mr. Yuemeng knows well, but it's still very difficult!" It may be that for your defense, you will sell some of your armaments to the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom, but the quality and quantity are not certain. I estimate that the artillery should be sold as the most advanced, after all, it is to show its power, and it is difficult to imitate, but in terms of rifles, a batch of old guns that the army will need to be updated may be sold. ”
President Moe frowned, "Are you referring to expired weapons?" Hmph, I won't take it! ”
Li Xiande was stunned by what Xuan Yuemeng said, and nodded, "Yes!" However, even the standard equipment of the Civil War period was still very advanced in Asia. Mr. Yuemeng, you must know that no matter which country you buy ordnance from, it is difficult to buy the latest equipment, after all, countries, especially big countries, have their own considerations, for fear of getting involved in regional conflicts, you think, if you fight with people, weapons and equipment are provided by the United States, the United States has an unshirkable responsibility. ”
President Meng smiled secretly, isn't this what the United States made its fortune from?
President Moe snorted, "If that's the case, I won't ask for anything!" What I need is the most advanced thing of this era, otherwise, I would rather not have it. ”
Li Xiande sighed, "Then, I'm afraid you won't get more." Mr. Yuemeng, this is not a vindictive thing, you have nothing, and you are now asking others to buy things, this is a matter of no way, think about it, if you have advanced technology, are you willing to sell cheaply? ”
President Meng didn't speak, however, he won't change his mind easily, I'd rather lack than abuse, it is indeed President Meng's idea of building an army!
President Meng asked his Danzhou army, at the beginning of its establishment, it must be at the forefront of the world, at least to reach the first level, otherwise, he can't stand it, he doesn't want to fight the tactics of the sea of people, otherwise, you can't even use guns, just get a hundred thousand people with big knives and spears, President Meng now has this strength, this is not what President Meng needs.
Princess Katrina Kafu and Wang Zhankui don't understand what President Meng is thinking, and under President Meng's hands, no one will oppose him.
Li Xiande's heart was clouded, he felt that Xuan Yuemeng was too powerful, dealing with such a powerful person, Li Xiande was a little frightened, but at this stage, Li Xiande hoped that Xuan Yuemeng could purchase as many armaments as possible to meet the needs of the war. (To be continued.) )
