Chapter 64: The Silver War

[First of all, I will give you a New Year's greeting, as for the suspension during the Spring Festival, I'm sorry, resume the update today, and try to compensate everyone]!!!!

After the excitement, the office returned to calm, and the air was filled with obscene smells, but it was quickly blown away by the air conditioner.

The temperature dropped, and Zhang Meng and Mira also calmed their desires, and then they got down to business.

Mira couldn't wait to ask, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, did not answer her, but pressed the electric bell.

Not long after, a beautiful secretary of the secretariat walked in quickly, and Zhang Meng instructed her to bring in a batch of relevant intelligence materials.

Zhang Meng signaled, Mila picked up one of the materials and looked at it, and asked puzzledly, "What is this?" ”

"You read all this information first!"

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, ignored Mira, instructed the secretary to bring in grape wine, turned out the window and drank by himself.

Mira then looked through the intelligence information, and at first she didn't think about it, but the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

Since ancient times, gold and silver have been the hard currency of all shijie, and unlike paper money, these two metals themselves have real value, so they have become a talisman for the people to protect themselves in times of international financial turmoil.

The global economic crisis that broke out in 1929 has now spread from the developed capitalist countries to the poor and backward countries, affecting the whole country, and the land of China under the rule of the Nationalist Government is not immune. In particular, the Hoover administration's aggressive purchase of silver caused the global price of silver to skyrocket, dealing a fatal blow to countries based on the silver standard. A large amount of silver was cashed out and flowed to the United States, and the silver dollars issued by the Nationalist Government were robbed.

The Hoover administration implemented the silver policy in part because it supported a financial consortium of Hoover. In the U.S. Congress, there was a silver bloc of silver-producing state legislators who were dissatisfied with the low price of silver and pressured President Hoover to raise the price of silver. On the other hand, the U.S. government believes that the root cause of the Shijie economic crisis is that the production of gold is insufficient to meet the demand, and the method of mining gold and silver should be used together. To make up for the shortage of gold with silver, we advocate the adoption of a double standard system. The only way to stimulate the purchasing power of silver currency countries is to raise the price of silver in order to market surplus products to these countries. Passing on the crisis.

Of course, the reason that really stimulated the Hoover administration to quickly implement the silver purchase bill was forced by the Tang Empire, because the new international financial system formulated by Britain, the United States and Tang Dynasty, most of the necessary reserves to maintain it were provided by the Tang Empire. This is tantamount to being controlled by others. The United States, as the post-war shijie hegemon, is naturally not very comfortable, so it will find a way to get rid of its dependence on the gold of the Tang Empire.

The impact of the U.S. silver policy involved many countries, dealing a fatal blow to China, which used silver as the standard currency, and plunging China, which had suffered from low silver prices, into the disaster of high silver prices, silver outflows, and deflation. The outflow of silver and the increase in the price of silver have greatly raised the value of China's currency, seriously hindering the development of foreign trade. All this eventually led to the collapse of the national economy, with reduced state tax revenues, an empty treasury, and difficult spending. Fiscal panic and deepening social crisis. This affected the ruling foundation of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing.

In response to the above situation, the Nanjing Nationalist Government adopted a series of emergency measures, such as formulating a silver export tariff and imposing an export balance tax, curbing the outflow of a large amount of silver, and striving to recover the direct economic losses caused by silver exports.

However, the Nationalist Government had no control over underground smuggling at all, and strictly prohibiting illegal traders from smuggling silver for export was basically a dead letter. As a result, the Nationalist Government had to demand through diplomatic channels that the United States "no longer buy shijie raw silver."

Mira could clearly see the content of the negotiations between the Nationalist Government and the US Government from the intelligence, and with her cleverness, she could naturally guess the basically intact transcript of the conversation with that information, and this kind of confidential content was able to be quickly delivered to Zhang Meng's hands, which shows that Zhang Meng's information is very amazing.

Mira couldn't help but gasp, Meimu glanced at Zhang Meng, and secretly wondered how correct her decision was, if she was an enemy of this man, I am afraid that the end will be miserable.

Mira shuddered, she didn't think about that anymore, she knew that Zhang Meng must have a purpose for letting her see these confidential information, she came to Zhang Meng this time, mainly because she had already understood that Datang Bank had been quietly hoarding silver, which was different from the Hoover administration's hype to buy silver, and it was not noticeable at first.

Mira believed that Zhang Meng was a guy who couldn't afford to be unprofitable, since he was also hoarding silver, then it must be profitable, which was guessed correctly by her, and it can be seen from the information that Zhang Meng did deploy a large-scale robbery operation in the financial field, and this time the main force was silver as one of the hard currencies.

Thinking of this, Mira didn't dare to be careless, and carefully looked at the rest of the information one by one.

"Hey, the British and the Japanese are also involved?"

Mira was once again shocked by the information below, Zhang Meng not only obtained the confidential information of the US government, but also controlled the movements of the British and Japanese one by one, how powerful this ability is.

Mira smiled wryly and shook her head, continuing to read.

Japan was the first to get the news that the Nationalist Government was preparing to reform the currency system, so it forced the Nanjing Nationalist Government to incorporate the fiat currency into the yen system by means of "Sino-Japanese economic cooperation" and "credit lending", while the British appeared as the first advocates to help China carry out currency reform, trying to incorporate the Chinese currency system into the British pound group.

Kong Xiangxi, the financial director of the Nationalist Government, negotiated with the British and the Japanese respectively in line with the principle that "whoever can provide loans for China's monetary reform, China's currency will be nailed." However, the Japanese have always regarded the Nationalist Government as meat in their mouths and simply wanted the British to intervene, so during the Sino-Japanese and Sino-British negotiations, the Japanese had the audacity to assassinate the negotiators of the Nationalist Government and the British, thus putting the Sino-British negotiations on hold.

Mira endured the shock in her heart, those information were far beyond the scope of her cognition, it can be said that what she knew before was just scratching the surface, in fact, she found out from this intelligence that Britain, the United States and Japan were secretly doing things in order to tie the fiat currency to their chariots, and the agents of the three countries even fought and demolished each other.

When she picked up a copy of the information, her hands trembled suddenly, because it was written that the U.S. government had taken retaliatory measures against Britain a week later in order to prevent Britain from using the London silver market to support the Nationalist government's fiat currency reform.

"Hoover wants to take revenge on the British?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at Mira very calmly.

Mira was confused and asked, "Britain and the United States have always been allies, how could Hoover take revenge on his allies?" ”

Zhang Meng took a sip of wine and said indifferently: "There are no ironclad allies between countries, only ironclad interests. Whoever can get the power of China's currency reform right now will be able to make immeasurable profits, and in the face of this profit, allies will also become enemies! ”

Mira was still a little unconvinced, and asked, "In that case, how is Hoover going to take revenge on Britain and how to get China's right to reform the currency?" ”

Zhang Meng smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll naturally know in a week, but now I need your favor!" ”

Mira rolled her eyes suddenly, and knew that Zhang Meng must not have been at ease when he showed her the confidential information, but she began to make requests as soon as she read the other party.

Looking at Zhang Meng's harmless expression, Mila smiled helplessly: "Let's be straight, if you eat meat, I'll drink some soup, as long as you don't beat my idea of family property, no matter what you want me to do." ”

Zhang Meng coughed dryly, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Don't worry, I can't look down on your little property." ”

Zhang Meng then said his jihua, but only a small part of it to Mira. As for asking Mila to help, it is purely because the financial predators of various countries have already known about the special relationship between Zhang Meng and Mila, so Zhang Meng wants Mila to take the lead in front to mislead the judgment of other financial predators, so that Zhang Meng will make huge profits at a critical moment. Of course, Zhang Meng also gave Mira a rich reward, otherwise Mila would definitely not be able to do it with her shrewdness.

Rao is like this, Mira is also very reluctant, after all, it is not very pleasant to be taken out by Zhang Meng as cannon fodder, and once Zhang Meng plays tricks, he can directly swallow all of Mira's assets, which must be very risky.

Seeing Mira's strange expression of believing you, Zhang Meng suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Look at what kind of expression you have, no." ”

Mira and Zhang Meng looked at each other for a long time, and Zuihou's momentum suddenly softened, and he sighed: "Okay, I'll trust you once." ”

Mira knew that if she didn't agree to Zhang Meng's request, Zhang Meng's huge strength would be enough to destroy everything in Mira, so Mira had no choice but to hope that Zhang Meng would not be too dark in her relationship.

Zhang Meng smiled, got up and came to Mira to hug her, kneaded her huge pair of firmness, and said gently: "Hoover's method is nothing more than to take revenge on Britain by suspending the purchase of silver in the London market, and then win over China." Therefore, the price of silver in London will inevitably fall sharply after a week, and China's silver will not be able to be sold, and it will not be able to continue to exchange for pounds sterling as foreign exchange reserves, and the foundation of the fiat currency will also be shaken. ”

"Y-I wish!"

Mira was kneading by Zhang Meng's delicate panting, and the red tide that had just been pushed down climbed up her whole body again, and she couldn't help but let out a tempting panting.

Zhang Meng saw that Mila looked like she was picking, and he couldn't hold back and kissed him again.

Who says that Eastern men can't satisfy Western women? Zhang Meng was born unconvinced, and fought with Mira for 300 rounds, vowing to write the myth of the golden gun of the Oriental man. (To be continued......)
