Chapter 69: I can only blame myself for death

"The funds deposited by Nicholas II in the Daming Royal Bank are completely unaccounted for by the Ministry of Transfer, and the Cabinet and Congress do not even know that this money exists, and it was directly allocated to us by His Majesty, so we can temporarily embezzle this money to save the emergency, if there is no ...... this money"

"You're finished—with my old man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I know what you're trying to say. I held my head and pondered.

To be reasonable, the trouble I'm facing right now is big, quite big. I can't even imagine how much money it would take to overthrow a superpower.

If I can't fill the gap, my teacher will have to be dragged out and shot.

This damn Chang Kaishen! I don't want to find a way to save the economy that is getting weaker and weaker, what are you doing to fight tigers? You're going to kill me sincerely! I really don't have any affection for this guy, whether it's the Cabinet First Leader in this plane or the CCP Transport Captain in another plane. Now, that disgust has escalated into hatred.

This can't be blamed on me, when Chang Kaishen took office, he declared that he would completely punish the Zhou Rao Republic, improve the domestic economy, and increase jobs, but after coming to power, he did not fulfill any promises, and cut military spending in order to improve the economy, but the money saved was invested in the chaebols of Jiangsu and Zhejiang - such as the surname Song, the surname Kong, and the surname Chen...... The money is constantly giving, but the economy is still declining, and those local kings and heroes in Nanyang have gradually become disobedient. After facing economic failure, this guy slapped his head again and decided to fight the tiger: "Since the policies are all good, but they have all become bad policies, then it must be the fault of the big tigers." ”

But if you fight a tiger, you can fight a tiger, but the guy who is not moving and the alliance will be implicated, but he found Jinyiwei, the most important intelligence agency in the Ming Dynasty. I've seen anyone with colored glasses, but I've never seen anyone who dares to wear colored glasses like this, and I'm not afraid that the emperor will be really annoyed one day and really drive him out of power! I really don't know how he was able to stay in this position for eight years, and the emperor is also from him! Well, forget it. In fact, except for Chang Kaishen, there is really no one in the Ming Dynasty who can take the lead, and compared with the Alliance, the rotten Confucians of the Donglin Party are even more unreliable.

Well, the League and the Donglin Party are the ruling party and the largest party in the current Ming Congress, respectively. In terms of scale, there is still a gap between the League and the Donglin Party, which has a history of several hundred years, and the League can govern because it has formed a ruling alliance with the Liberation Society and the Gongjin Association. I recently heard that they were recently plotting to form a larger radical party that would outnumber the Donglin Party outnumberedly.

In this way, Chang Kaishen's current trouble with Jinyiwei is also building momentum for the next action - although Jinyiwei is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven and does not allow its members to join the political party, Jinyiwei is relatively close to the Donglin Party because of practical interests.

I really hope that the emperor can use the privileges granted by the constitution to quickly remove this Chang Kaishen from power - I don't have to count to know that this person named Chang Kaishen will definitely not be able to save the current Ming Dynasty, and I have to ask Li Desheng and Mr. Wu to come to talk about it.

But no matter what Chang Kaishen is, what he urgently needs to solve now is the problem of Jinyiwei's funding gap.

"The current funding gap of Jinyiwei ......"

"That's about a thousand pounds of gold."

"Why don't you just exchange it for currency?" I glared at Fan Tong in front of me, "Just say how much money you owe!" ”

"But what we're missing is hard currency, not paper money." Fan Tong coughed, "At the beginning, we supported the uprising of the Bolsheviks in Russia and shipped gold directly. No way, who recognizes my pen and paper in that place, arms dealers and officers and soldiers seem to prefer hard currency that will never depreciate.

I...... I really want to scold my mother! If you are short of pen and paper, there are ways to solve it. But you all dare to use gold directly as cash, are you really not afraid of being cut off your head?

Thousands of pounds of gold...... The gold reserves of the treasury of a great power range from a few hundred tons to several thousand tons, okay!

"Anyway, why does Jinyiwei have so much gold?"

"Because the funds for the activities that His Majesty has given us are gold. After all, Jinyiwei has different functions from other departments. Fan Tong coughed lightly, "If you directly allocate paper money to us from the treasury, sometimes it is really not useful." ”

There was no Bretton Woods system in this parallel space, and there was no world currency such as the US dollar, and the use of gold was still a fairly common behavior in settlements between countries.

"Is Nicholas II's gold in the Ming Royal Bank? It doesn't make sense. At that time, the relationship between my Ming and Tsarist Russia was not good. ”

"That's the dowry of the eldest Russian princess Oldia." Fan Tong's words were astonishing.

"Dowry?!" I was shocked, this is another great royal secret.

"Yes, at that time, Aurora fired a cannon, the Tsar fled from St. Petersburg, and he was forced to use the hand of my Ming to suppress the Red Army, so he proposed to marry Olga to the crown prince of my Ming at that time - that is, His Majesty today." Fan Tong said, "And in order to show his sincerity, Nicholas II transported the gold deposited in Almaty to the territory of my Daming. However, it was not long before the family of Nicholas II was captured by the Red Army because of a mutiny in the United States, and then shot and killed in Kazan. Therefore, Princess Olga did not really marry, so this dowry had to be turned into a deposit of Nicholas II in the 'Daming Royal Bank'. ”

The egg hurts, so there was such a twisted story back then? This is much more interesting than the February Revolution and the October Revolution in another time and space!

What the? Do you want to say that the Ming Dynasty "guards the country, the king dies, does not cut the land, does not pay compensation, and does not make peace"? But the prince marrying a foreign wife is not a good relationship......

"Is it possible to talk to Anastasia and ask her to lend you that gold for the time being?" I asked.

"We've thought about it before, but ...... You know, it's better to borrow, and I think that Miss Anastasia will agree to this clause. But the question is, what should we say if Your Majesty asks, 'What are you Jinyi Wei borrowing money from a weak woman?' You know, Your Majesty can't buy it. Fan Tong sighed, as if he was unlucky to have such a master.

Could it be that the commander of the Jinyi Guard could still run to the emperor and say, "Your Majesty, we have embezzled ourselves privately and have a deficit, so we need to operate to deal with the audit of the National Assembly and the Cabinet"? I think the Emperor will be the first to kill the Soviets when he hears that they are sponsored by the Jinyi Guard!

Alas, in the final analysis, I can't complain about others, I can only blame Jinyiwei for his own death.
