A hundred years ago, Britain launched an Opium War against China, which was also nicknamed the Silver War, because the fundamental goal of Britain was to plunder Chinese silver.

Now, Quan Shijie has once again set off a financial war without gunpowder, and the core is still the competition for silver, but this time it seems that Britain, the United States and Japan are plundering Chinese silver on the surface, but in fact, the Tang Empire is in control of everything, because after several rounds of buying and selling, the Tang Empire controls most of the share of the global silver trading market.

Previously, Datang Bank, the central bank of the Tang Empire, hoarded cheap raw silver around the world on a large scale, and hoarded a huge amount of raw silver before and after with the strong gold reserves of Datang Bank and the strong purchasing power of Tang Yuan. This batch of raw silver has been hoarded until the United States and the rest of the world are buying raw silver to raise the global silver price, and selling it all close to the peak of the silver price, making a big profit of more than $5 billion.

With the sale of raw silver by Datang Bank and the cessation of the Federal Reserve's purchase of raw silver, the global silver price plummeted again, falling to the bottom in just over a month, causing countless financial dealers around the world to hoard raw silver to lose their money, and Britain, France, Italy, Japan and other countries have hoarded huge amounts of raw silver on the basis of national credit, and the result has also suffered heavy losses.

The most serious is the United Kingdom, the MacDonald government originally planned to take the opportunity of China's fiat currency reform to incorporate fiat currency into the pound sterling system, so that it can make a windfall, but it was overshadowed by Zhang Meng's Datang Bank, losing tens of billions of pounds, and the Bank of England bore the brunt of the closure, which once closed for half a month, causing panic throughout the country, and even broke out in many places A major riot led by bank customers broke out, destroying more than a dozen banks.

The MacDonald administration was blamed by powerful public opinion. Forced to resign en masse, Conservative leader Stanley acting Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

For the National Government, the London Financial Exchange closed its doors. The £400 million reserves promised by the British government to the Nationalist Government were postponed and collapsed within days with the collapse of MacDonald's government. This is a big blow to the national government, but the global silver price has plummeted, and China's silver outflow has stopped, which is a good thing for people's livelihood.

As the leader of the global financial predators, Zhang Meng sat firmly on the imperial throne of the Daming Palace of the Tang Empire, and was happily listening to the reports of Zhang Xiaochuan, Minister of Finance, and Yin Jiabao, President of Datang Bank.

"Your Highness. This time, all the silver we hoarded was sold out, and the conservative gross profit was as high as 5 billion Tang Yuan. ”

Yin Jiabao's face was full of elation, and Zhang Xiaochuan on the side also looked excited. It's just that it's much calmer than Yin Jiabao.

Zhang Meng laughed harmoniously: "President Yin has contributed a lot to the fact that the huge silver reserves can be sold out this time. However, this is not the end of the world, and the next global raw silver plummets, and when it falls to the bottom, it is important not to buy the bottom. Although the empire controls the lifeblood of gold trading around the world. But silver is also hard currency. The empire is also to be controlled in its own hands. ”

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys His Highness's will!" Yin Jiabao said respectfully: "Your Majesty has instructed that the major banks are ready to take action to recover the international raw silver, and we have used more than 300 shadow banks and futures trading companies to carry out large-scale short selling operations on the global silver price, and in less than three months, the raw silver that was sold at a high price before will all be bought back at a low price, which is a huge income of billions of Tang yuan." ”

Zhang Meng nodded, he was just pointing out Yin Jiabao in Dafang, Yin Jiabao completely relied on his excellent personal ability. Operated this matter steadily, Zhang Meng was very satisfied with him. I would also like to thank Tang Shaoyi for recommending this outstanding talent.

At this time, Zhang Xiaochuan suddenly said: "Your Highness, we have won a great victory in this silver war, which not only hit the global financial predators, but also caused heavy losses to the British government. However, Wechen has received information that the British side has terminated its cooperation with the Nationalist Government, should the Empire intervene in this matter next? ”

After all, Zhang Xiaochuan came from Chinese mainland, and although he was now the finance minister of the Tang Empire, he still couldn't bear to see his mainland comrades suffering from the silver war, and he instinctively hoped to help as much as he could.

Zhang Meng immediately understood Zhang Xiaochuan's heart, smiled slightly, and said: "It depends on the attitude of the Nationalist Government, if they are ready to seek support from the United States according to the original Jihua, then we are not good at interfering, after all, we are in a delicate balance with the Hoover administration, and we cannot break this balance unless we have to." ”

Zhang Xiaochuan was immediately overjoyed and asked, "Your Highness, if Weichen is not mistaken, if the Nationalist Government chooses the United States, then the Empire will create a silver war against the United States to disrupt their cooperation." ”

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "If that's the case, the benefits that can be easily obtained will naturally not be let go." ”

Zhang Xiaochuan glanced at Zhang Meng deeply, with a look of understanding you, and suddenly smiled: "If I were Hoover, I would definitely not cooperate with the Nationalist Government again, it would obviously be more than worth the loss." ”

Zhang Meng was noncommittal, but smiled mysteriously: "I hope Hoover is smarter than you." ”

At this time, Yin Jiabao said: "Your Highness, Wei Chen has the courage to recommend two outstanding young people in the financial field to Your Highness, and they have performed very well in this Silver War operation. ”

Zhang Meng couldn't help but show surprise and asked, "There is still someone who values Yin Aiqing so much?" Let's talk about it. ”

Zhang Xiaochuan also listened curiously, he knew Yin Jiabao's talent, and ordinary young talents were not in his eyes at all.

Yin Jiabao then told Liu Bin and Li Yun about the situation of Liu Bin and Li Yun in the Shanghai branch, and Zuihou mentioned that the two of them took the initiative to short the price of silver and made a lot of money for the empire.

"What a talent!"

Zhang Meng couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that he dared to short the price of silver on a large scale according to the historical trend, and those famous financial analysts who looked at the whole Shijie were all optimistic about the prospect of silver appreciation without exception.

Yin Jiabao said: "This operation is very important, Wechen only uses absolutely reliable people to short the price of silver in the major financial trading markets, and Wechen can guarantee that Liu Bin and Li Yun did not know in advance." ”

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "I naturally trust you, those two are indeed talents, so I will allow you to play and let them follow you to do things." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"However, the heart of defense is indispensable, the current strong rise of the empire is no longer as unnoticed by the international powers as before, and the spy organizations of various countries are infiltrating the core of our Datang at any cost, so before you really reuse and trust them, it is best to say hello to the Homeland Security Agency."

"Your Highness is wise, and the ministers obey the order!" Yin Jiabao naturally understands the stakes here, and he doesn't need Zhang Meng to remind him that he has to say hello to the Homeland Security Bureau.

There was nothing else, Zhang Xiaochuan and Yin Jiabao Shi Li retired.

At this time, the people from the guard room came in to report, and the director of the Homeland Security Bureau, Tan Jincheng, asked to see him.

Zhang Meng frowned, if it weren't for a major event, Tan Jincheng wouldn't have had time to see him in person, so he hurriedly announced that he would go to the palace.

After Tan Jincheng made the courtesy, he suddenly said with a nervous expression: "Your Highness, the intelligence department has just locked up a woman named Yoshiko Kawashima, and we suspect ......"

"What? Yoshiko Kawashima? ”

Zhang Meng didn't wait for Tan Jincheng to finish speaking, he stood up excitedly, and suddenly startled Tan Jincheng. (To be continued......)
