Chapter 164: Forced to Stand in Line (Part II)

If the United States can choose, of course, it will choose Germany to stand unconditionally on the side of the United States, they are challenging the status of the British pound in the world's currency, one more country to settle in dollars is one more hope, needless to say that Germany still owes so many countries reparations, once it continues to settle in dollars, the payment to countries can only be dollars.

In fact, paper money has almost no cost to speak of, and if it is still gold coins or something, the United States will not compete for any world currency. At this stage, paper money can still go to the bank to exchange for gold, but basically no one will exchange it for gold unless necessary or non-malicious, which means that the "money interest" of paper money is definitely much more than that of precious metal currency.

What the United States wants is not only money and interest, their plan to make the dollar a world currency is not a matter of one or two years, it has been planned since the end of the Civil War, and it has been deployed and operated consistently for decades, otherwise it is not a fluke that this country has become a world hegemon?

In fact, Germany is currently playing a very important role in the world currency war of the United States, and it can even be said to be a very important part, you must know that Germany is responsible for the exaggerated amount of war reparations, and at the same time, the collapse of the German economy dooms the Deutsche Mark to become something worse than waste paper.

The Treaty of Versailles, as later amended, stipulated that Germany could repay war reparations with resources and commodities, but in the view of the Weimar government, repaying war reparations with resources and commodities was a very costly matter, because the pricing power of resources and commodities rested with the powers, not Germany.

Richie had a slightly different view from the Weimar government, arguing strongly for the use of commodities to pay war reparations, and rejecting the use of foreign currencies and resources.

In fact, not many people understand Richie's idea, and no one knows what it means for a country to flood its markets with goods.

At this stage, Germany must not be able to rely on the war reparations, since it cannot be relied on, then repaid with goods, the price of German goods has been depressed, the same product, German goods are cheap and of good quality, what will buyers choose, needless to say?

What is destined to be a loss, Germany's export of commodities is tantamount to making the markets of the great powers full of German products in the great contribution of the independent self-guidance of various countries, which is tantamount to dumping and propaganda. Is there anything more to celebrate than to produce such a phenomenon in desperation? Absolutely nothing!

In fact, not only German goods, but even products from Britain, France, and any country in the world, unless it is food, tobacco, and other non-industrial products, the United States has many restrictions on non-domestic industrial products to the point of frightening.

Yes, the Yankees refuse to allow the industrial products of any country to land in the United States, they stipulate this in the form of a law. Of course, when they enacted the law, they did not talk about "who cannot come to the United States to sell industrial products", but operated with adjustable tariffs and state tax amounts.

In addition, the United States itself is the world's largest industrial country, and the quality of its own products is still passable, and at the same time, it is a little cheap, and there are capital groups that incitement consumers with the name of patriotism at every turn, and the people of the United States are actually very reluctant to the industrial products of other countries.

Look, the United States is deliberately trying not to allow products from other countries to enter the country, but American goods are sold all over the world, but no country has an opinion on the US approach...... Or that the great powers have no opinion, and the small countries have no opinion. This, this, this...... It's not just a matter of saying that God loves America alone.

The great powers did not forcibly enter the US market, firstly, because the great powers had their own dumping places for their products, which were both colonies and some semi-colonial countries; Second, it is because it is not beneficial to all countries to provoke the United States. Look at how much the world hegemon British's tolerance to the United States, the world hegemon is like that, what can other powers do? What happened to the Second German Reich, the only one that provoked the Yankees, and what happened to the "chicken" that became the "chicken" that "killed the chicken and set an example for the monkeys", which frightened some thoughtful countries to die down immediately.

Rich can't offend the United States, but he doesn't want to flatter the United States either. Maybe in such a thing, he can still make the United States and Britain more filthy, but according to the urine nature of the British, it doesn't matter if there is no disgusting incident, once something disgusting happens, the British will take Germany every minute!

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Therefore, your country is able to reach an understanding with the United Kingdom, and we will absolutely cooperate with your country. Li Qi did not know Tai Chi, but he knew the charm, and said: "In fact, we need the United States, but we can't leave the British deterrence, and there is not much that can be done." ā€

Smith. Walker doesn't know what Tai Chi is, but that doesn't mean he can't hear it. He said: "Well, if the Rothschilds are willing, will His Excellency the Leader agree?" ā€

Li Qi raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Consul should know one thing, business behavior will always succumb to political pressure. The implication is that the Rothschilds are the Rothschilds, and Germany is Germany.

The Rothschilds are the sellers, and there is almost no seller in the world who will force the buyer to use what currency, especially since Li Qi is using the British pound, which is still the world's number one currency.

Dollar? At present, the US dollar is only used in a very small number of countries except for the United States, and that is still for the sake of the US dollar can be exchanged for gold, but it is basically concentrated in South America.

In addition to South America, the Philippines in Asia is also a region that uses the US dollar, and then the northeastern part of the Far East.

In order to improve the world status of the dollar, the United States is actually quite hard, such as being the first to use non-renunciation means to return Gengzi indemnity. Their way of returning the Gengzi indemnity was to give U.S. dollars, or to American goods, or to study abroad. There is only one reason why the United States is doing this, that is, to win the favor of the populous countries in the Far East, and also to make preliminary preparations for opening up the markets of the big countries in the Far East. The United States has already used a similar method on Mexico, and it will become a cripple as soon as it is done.

At this stage, the financial play of the United States is actually quite rough, but it is mild to send troops and plunder directly with the foreign powers. It is precisely non-military means, many countries simply do not realize that financial war is also a war of life and death, just look at the United Kingdom and the United States, which are actually already in a "state of war", the British do not seem to really realize the seriousness of the matter.

Li Qi is not a financial expert, he is just a "well-informed" time-traveler. He had pondered whether to remind the British government of the seriousness of the economic war, and then give up.

The British are very proud, they may not be unaware of the seriousness of the matter, but they are proud to believe that they are the world hegemon, and the United States simply cannot shake the world position of the pound. Then, the British probably also thought that even if the currency war failed, it didn't mean anything, because Britain's colonies were so vast that they couldn't count them, and even if they lost the war between the pound and the dollar, Britain could still survive in its own colonial system.

Richie sent Smith away. Walker, didn't wait for him to talk to Hans. Luther chatted a few words with the British consul in Bavaria. Here comes Phillips.

In much the same way, the National Socialist Workers' Party was destined to become the ruling party, and although the countries had received some promises from Rich, it was after they knew that they would become the ruling party and they would actually become the ruling party, and the same thing was necessary to be confirmed again at different times.

"Yes, on the issue of the Rothschilds' deals." Jerry. Phillips represents Britain in a way, and Britain is now the world hegemon, and the intelligence agencies do not know how much advantage it has over the Yankees. Moreover, the deal between Li Qi and the Rothschilds was not hidden. Phillips said, "I know Walker just said that it should be about the settlement currency, right?" ā€

Li Qi nodded and said: "The United States has proposed a lot of preferential policies, issued a $500 million unsecured, interest-free loan, on the condition that our transactions with the Rothschilds will be settled in US dollars, and at the same time let us give up the form of internal 'bill trading'." ā€

Jerry. Phillips seemed relatively calm, and he said: "With the consistent position of His Excellency the Leader, Walker's proposal should have been rejected?" ā€

For a long time, Richie had followed a pro-British line, and even to France was to some extent much closer than the United States. He took the pro-British and French line because of the influence of the situation, and the matter was really very simple, even if the United States showed its face after the First World War, but the United States only showed the strength of an industrial power, and there was hardly much political and military performance.

In short, the United States is an industrial power, but the United States is not a political or military power. In terms of international status, the United States is still at a disadvantage compared to Britain and France, and it can even be said that the United States is not much stronger than Germany in terms of political status.

Germany was defeated because the defeat had lost too many points, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Weimar government shrank back and made Germany lose points in the international community, but the long-term prestige still has some foundation.

In fact, there are too many opportunistic corners for the United States to become a great power, and it does not rely on hard power, which inevitably gives people the impression of picking up bargains. With this impression, especially in the country, no one will think in their hearts that its status as a great power is that even if the United States has demonstrated strong economic and industrial strength, it is still not recognized by the world's major powers, and independent countries that are not major powers only show respect on their faces, and it is difficult to say whether there is respect or not.

If a country wants to be recognized as a strong country, it is really not enough to have economic and industrial strength, but also to have a military force that can defend the economy and industry. Therefore, the powerful countries are basically fought out, and there is absolutely no smile on it, or it is smashed out with money, and the United States must also know this very well, and is making necessary preparations, from the Great White Fleet to the strong support of various military industries, all of which are accumulating on the foundation!

Richie & Jerry. Phillips didn't talk for a long time, and the communication was actually not very pleasant, because Li Qi made it clear that they were the buyers, and they were buying in the form of loans, and they could play a relatively low degree of dominance.

"Yes, we confiscated some of the Rothschilds' property, but there is a misunderstanding that we are carrying out a total eviction." Jerry. Phillips said without blushing and without a beating heart: "The confiscation is only for temporary safekeeping, and it is not a state-owned asset. ā€

If Richie believed it, he would be a ghost, and he probably remembered that the British were "temporarily confiscated" indefinitely, and until the 21st century, they were still involved with the Rothschilds, and they were very shameless in denying some nonsense.

If the British government is weakened, it can be so shameless, does it make Britain, which is still the world hegemon, want to be embarrassed? They are notoriously domineering and unreasonable.

It will be until the British know how to be reasonable, and it will also be the moment when the British lose their world hegemony. And it was the Yankees who pulled the British down from the world hegemony, and the Yankees started from the colonial system, which led to the successive independence of the British colonies, but in this way, the British still followed the Yankees behind their buttocks and licked their stomachs for decades......

Richie sent Jerry away again. Phillips, and then he took turns to meet with France, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark...... and other countries from Europe and other continents, including the delegation from Japan.

There were not many people in the Japanese delegation, but there was one person whose name made Li Qi stunned when he heard it. That person's name is Hiroshi Oshima, and there is no doubt that he has become a German brainless figure, but later he did more damage to Germany than the ten divisions of the Allied army, and is known as a powerful spy for the Allied forces lurking in Germany.

It was only a matter of etiquette for the Japanese to come, and after they had finished talking about business, they said to Richie as if they were casual about something they wanted to discuss the situation in the Far East.

Far East? During the Second German Empire, it had an influence in the Far East, such as forcibly leasing Qingdao, but now the German state has no concessions in the Far East for a long time.

Richie probably knew what the Japanese delegates meant, probably about some of Germany's industrial support programs for the countries of the Far East.

Japan has always tried to land on the mainland, and this time the Soviet Russian civil war showed itself so actively, it was nothing more than a test of the feasibility of landing on the mainland. Then, Japan had two preparations for landing on the mainland, one of which was naturally to take action against the first power in the Far East, and the second option was to bite the Russians.

Richie didn't say anything too special, he didn't even have that spare time. Before or after the election results, he has a lot of things to do, the more urgent thing is to choose sides in Britain and the United States, and then he is ready to profit from the world economic crisis, so he has no spare time to take care of little Japan.

Yes, the world economic crisis is coming, and Litchie has been preparing for this for six years, and recently hooked up with the well-funded Rothschilds, just waiting for a feast to begin. (To be continued.) )
