Chapter 244 Currency Wars on

Originally, the Xia Empire sent troops to help the Qing Dynasty defend the frontier, and the countries wanted to deal with the Xia Empire, but they were worried that there was no chance, and now the Xia Empire established a central bank and issued paper money, so that Britain, France, the United States and Russia finally found a breakthrough to deal with the Xia Empire.

After the Xia Empire issued an announcement on the issuance of banknotes at the end of June, the foreign ministers of Britain, France, the United States, and Russia, as well as financial experts, kept in touch and communicated with each other, studied the monetary policy of the Xia Empire, and looked for an entry point to attack the Xia Empire's currency.

If the Xia Empire can be defeated in the financial market and swept away its domestic wealth, the gain will be greater than that of defeating the Xia Empire on the battlefield, and the cost will destroy the Xia Empire's economy, and the Xia Empire will not be able to continue to expand its army or invade other lands.

In order to ensure the smooth success of this financial war, all countries are making full preparations.

In the past, all countries suspected that the Jewish family was behind the Xia Empire, but this time, in order to defeat the Xia Empire financially, each country had a detailed communication with its own Jewish bankers, and after they confirmed that it was not their own Jewish bankers who participated in supporting the Xia Empire, each country formed a special committee, ready to make a fortune after the Xia Empire issued currency.

Of course, just when the Four Kingdoms were preparing to attack the currency of the Xia Empire, the Sixth Empire would not miss this opportunity, and the family began to gather funds and prepare to make a big fortune, and the issuance of paper money should be the patent of Jewish bankers, and the Xia Empire actually put aside the Jews to issue paper money alone, which is really bold, and must give the Xia Empire a profound lesson.

You know, the most familiar in the world is the Jews in the business of issuing banknotes, and now all the banknotes issued by all European countries have the shadow of Jewish manipulation behind them, and without the support of the Jews, the finances of any European country will be paralyzed immediately, and even the financial affairs of the United States will not escape the control of the Jews.

The Xia Empire was the first country to issue paper money, if the Xia Empire succeeded in issuing paper money, then which country would be willing to be controlled by the Jews in the future? This undoubtedly cut off the financial resources of the Jews in the future, which is absolutely not allowed, no matter how much it costs, there is a naïve act of destroying the financial policy of the Xia Empire and preventing them from issuing paper money.

The Rothschilds joined the Rothschilds, which made the leaders of the four countries extremely excited, and decided to set up a currency committee headed by Nathan Rothschild, which was specifically responsible for carrying out currency attacks on the Xia Empire. Each country pays a certain percentage of the silver, the majority of which is from the Rothschild family, and after the silver is collected, Nathan is in charge of the operation, and the profits earned are distributed according to the proportion of the shares, and each country sends an expert who is proficient in the currency exchange business to participate in Nathan's committee.

The attack plan they formulated was very simple, that is, within 1 month of the Xia Empire's trial operation, according to the ratio of 134, use silver to exchange a large number of Xia Empire's paper money, and after the trial operation is over, then manipulate the silver market to depreciate a large proportion of silver, and then use paper money to exchange for the Xia Empire's gold, if the Xia Empire's gold reserves are insufficient, all the gold will flow out to Nathan, or the Xia Empire can only buy gold from the international market at a high price. The first possibility would destroy the Xia Empire's plan to issue paper money and cancel the gold standard financial policy, while the second possibility would greatly shrink the wealth of the Xia Empire, and even lead to the Xia Empire's wealth being swept away and the country's finances going bankrupt.

It is necessary to manipulate the market to devalue silver, and to exchange silver for the paper money of the Xia Empire, which requires a very large amount of silver, but the governments of various countries do not have so much silver in their hands, so they have to let countries organize domestic banks to join this action plan At the same time, under the manipulation of the Rothschild family, Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Portugal and other countries have joined the operation.

Governments and major banks contributed all the silver in stock, gathered more than 8 billion yuan worth of gold and silver, according to Nathan's plan, half of it was used to manipulate the silver market, so that the silver depreciated to the exchange ratio with gold of 70:1 to 801, and half was used to exchange the paper money of the Xia Empire, according to his estimates, the current economic development level of the Xia Empire issued a maximum of 1 billion yuan of paper money, no matter how much, the Xia Empire could not take out so much gold as a margin.

Time was very tight, and on August 1 the Xia Empire began to issue banknotes, and in order to better command the battle, Nathan Rothschild led the members of his committee to Singapore on a cruiser provided by the military, where he would command the battle. Cargo ships transporting silver from various countries also quickly concentrated in Singapore under the protection of warships.

According to the plan formulated by Nathan, within this month, all these silver should be exchanged for Xia Empire banknotes, in the first period of time, 50 million Xia Imperial Yuan should be exchanged every day, and in the second stage, at least 100 million Xia Imperial Yuan should be exchanged every day, and finally for the decisive stage, at least 200 million Xia Imperial Yuan should be exchanged every day The first stage is 15 days, and strive to exchange it for 1 billion Xia Imperial Yuan, this stage must be in a state of strict secrecy, and the second stage is 10 days, at least 1 billion Xia Imperial Yuan must be exchanged, which is in a semi-public state, The third stage has 6 days to exchange at least 1.2 billion Xia Imperial Yuan, and this stage is in a semi-open state of declaration of war, keeping 1 billion Xia Imperial Yuan worth of silver as a reserve fund.

In order to be able to exchange enough Xia Imperial Yuan at the beginning stage and ensure the smooth progress of the exchange, Nathan organized hundreds of exchange groups to take turns to go to the Xia Empire to carry out the exchange business, and each exchange amount was controlled within the scope of the Xia Imperial Yuan, trying not to attract the attention of the Xia Empire.

Li civilians, as well as ambassadors and consuls in European countries, all heard part of the content, that is, European and American countries united to prevent the Xia Empire from issuing paper money, and hoped to sweep away the wealth of the Xia Empire, and no one could find out the specific details.

Zhang Wei, Gao Jinyuan and others had long expected the occurrence of similar incidents, but they did not expect a financial confrontation with the entire Western countries this time, and they still underestimated the determination of the European and American powers to suppress the Xia Empire.

After discussing with Gao Jinyuan's five people, Zhang Wei could basically guess that the plan they blocked this time was nothing more than to exchange paper money in large quantities, and then exchange paper money for gold in the Xia Empire, so that the gold in the Xia Empire's treasury would be dried up, and then they would buy gold from Europe at a high price. Therefore, Zhang Wei and others decided to lead a team to Europe by Vice President Sun Zhengquan, and put all the German loans and the $200 million in free aid from the United States into the European financial market.

In order to ensure the smooth issuance of banknotes, Zhang Wei ordered Xiao Yuer to print 10 billion yuan of banknotes, which is enough for the exchange of European and American countries.

Then just wait for the arrival of August 1 to engage in a war without gunpowder with European and American countries. To be continued.
