Since the reunification of the German Empire, the new Junker bourgeois and new aristocracy in Germany have faced the obstruction of the old aristocracy, just as the German Empire sought to expand abroad and tried to break the monopoly of the old capitalist powers, such as Britain, France, and Russia. The Rothschilds are known as the Sixth Empire, and their influence on the European and American aristocratic forces is extremely huge, which leads to a fierce conflict between the new German Junkers aristocracy and the Rothschilds.

In order to safeguard the interests of the Junker aristocracy, Bismarck, known as the iron-blooded prime minister of Germany, established the German Imperial Bank and the German financial system headed by the Junker bourgeoisie. The Junker aristocracy was converted from the feudal landlord class to the bourgeoisie, and in order to grow as soon as possible, it was necessary to have enough "food", so the Junker aristocracy set their sights on Hoss, the Rothschild ruler in Germany.

The state power in Germany was in the hands of the new Junker bourgeois aristocracy as the rulers, and Wilhelm II and his Reichstag fully represented the interests of the Junker new aristocracy, and in the face of the powerful state apparatus of the German Empire, the Rothschilds, who had no force in their hands, could only be exploited and oppressed.

Hawes's opinion was conveyed to the Downing Street headquarters in London, and after careful study and discussion, the Rothschild family parliament decided to support Hawes's proposal to fight the Junckers consortium through non-violent financial means in order to protect the family's interests in Germany. They will throw away all the silver in their hands, so that the silver in the hands of the Junkers consortium will depreciate and shrink before they have time to throw it, and then cause them huge losses.

This decision was made on the basis of Hoss's statement that "peers are enemies", and when the Rothschilds established their position in Europe's Sixth Empire, the rapid industrial growth of some emerging countries such as the United States and Germany created a large number of new financial enterprises and new aristocrats. Historically, the rise of the new aristocracy has had to be frantically suppressed by the forces of the old aristocracy, and the Rothschilds are no exception, and they want to reshuffle the international financial industry to ensure their dominance.

On March 15, the international gold-silver ratio was still at 1:20. As the huge silver reserves controlled by the third-party Rothschild family also began to sell, when more than 300 million silver dollars flowed into the international market, coupled with the huge amount of silver thrown by China and the United States, the international silver price was empty of 1.3 billion silver dollars, and the silver price fell sharply, falling to 1:28 in three days.

The price of silver fell to the bottom line of the banking group of 17 countries in the Far East within three days, causing 32 bankers in 17 countries to panic and start selling silver one after another. However, at this moment, no one dares to buy silver. The large-scale silver sell-off between China and the United States caused panic among the silver-standard countries such as Mexico, the Japanese and the Russian, who were not like the Qing Empire and the United States, which had a two-standard system and could quickly change one while the other was still able to maintain financial stability. They are all pure silver standard countries, which are difficult to change in a short period of time, so these silver standard countries have banned international silver flows into their countries, and central banks such as Mexico and Russia have frozen silver reserve projects and stopped stockpiling silver.

As a result, international financiers have been hit hard, and the silver in their hands cannot be thrown out, but can only continue to depreciate in their hands. Some large banks are still able to survive with strong funds, and countless small banks have failed overnight. Following the gold run in the United States, the silver deficit storm in the Far East quickly turned into a financial storm that swept through the global financial markets, causing economic crises in a large number of countries, especially Russia, Ben and Mexico, three typical silver standard countries.

Of course, where there is loss, there is gain. The old financial aristocracy represented by the Rothschild family made huge profits, and the emerging financial aristocracy represented by the German Junkers consortium suffered heavy losses. In the middle of this, the Qing Empire caused an economic loss of more than 40 million taels of silver due to silver losses in the early stage, but with the domestic silver cashed out into gold and stable foreign currency, the silver loss disappeared. And when the international silver price fell to 1:28, the lost 40 million taels of silver were earned. And if the price of silver continues to fall, when it falls to 1:33.5, it may even earn back tens of millions of taels of silver.

Emperor Guangxu was very happy and issued an edict to Wang Chenhao to be promoted by two levels, from the original third-class viscount to a first-class viscount and cloud cavalry captain.

When the promotion telegram was sent, Wang Chenhao was on a friendly visit to Athens, Greece, and of course the focus was on the auction of antiques.

"Congratulations to Lord Wang on his promotion to a first-class viscount! I really didn't expect you to have such a skill, my lord, and you actually expected that there would be this silver loss crisis! ”

Qiao Yuying had always been secretly annoyed by Wang Chenhao's frivolous behavior towards her that day, and she didn't talk to him for several days and deliberately avoided him. But when she learned from the telegram sent by Qiao Zhiyuan, Wang Chenhao's words actually set off a financial storm in the Far East, and it was a trap for more than 30 banks in 17 countries. Qiao Yuying may not care about other things, but she is also the daughter of a businessman in the financial field, and Wang Chenhao's outstanding ability in this regard will inevitably cause Qiao Yuying to look at him with admiration and appreciation from the heart.

Wang Chenhao smiled faintly, he didn't expect this result. Originally, he just wanted to try to preserve some national strength, and he couldn't let the foreign devils snatch the Chinese's silver. However, among the great powers, there are also huge contradictions within the financial oligarchs, and as a result, Wang Chenhao's small wings were flapped, and a financial storm was blown. However, Wang Chenhao was very happy when he thought that the bank group of the 17 countries had lost tens of millions of yuan, and that the two close enemies of Yueben and Russia had also borne huge silver losses because of the use of the silver standard.

"The foreign devils are always thinking about invading us, especially in the face of our aggression economically in recent years, it is far more harmful and lost than the two opium wars have brought us much more, and these 17-nation banking groups are the bridgehead for their economic aggression against us.

Qiao Yuying looked at Wang Chenhao with admiration, and said with a smile: "My lord is really angry with the people!" I wonder how adults deduce it? ”

There is no need to extrapolate the ironclad facts. Wang Chenhao wanted to tell her this, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "After the United States experienced a gold run crisis, the shortcomings of the gold and silver dual standard system were undoubtedly exposed. In particular, a group of international financial predators are aiming at the market of the United States, the world's largest industrial power, and they will definitely make money from it. At present, the major imperialist powers in the world are on the gold standard, so their strong financial resources will definitely carry out economic aggression against the non-gold standard countries. And the huge silver reserves of the United States are precisely their tool of aggression, and these financial predators first created a gold run crisis to force the United States to abandon the silver standard. In this way, the United States will have to sell off its domestic silver. The huge inflow of silver into the international market will definitely cause the price of silver to fall, and then these international financial predators will target countries that implement the silver standard, such as us, Tsarist Russia, Japan, Mexico and other countries, causing these countries to lose money, so that they can make huge profits from it, this is a war without gunpowder, and its profits are far higher than waging a real war. ”

Qiao Yuying listened to Wang Chenhao's explanation, and her eyes were full of admiration. But there were some words she had never heard of, such as financial predators.

Wang Chenhao explained: "Crocodiles are the kings at the top of the food chain, and international financial predators are a group of people who specialize in preying on money. Most people only know that the world is in the hands of politicians in various countries, and behind them is the influence of these financial predators. ”

Qiao Yuying asked in surprise: "What the adults said is really an eye-opener for Yuying, and it is really thought-provoking when you think about it." It's just that Yuying still wants to know how the adults judge that the silver loss will reach fifty percent? As far as Yu Ying knows, dozens of financial experts from the 17 countries bank group judged that the silver loss was only 20% at most! ”

Wang Chenhao looked at Qiao Yuying's curious expression, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Qiao Yuying was very curious, and she would never be willing to ask the bottom of it, so she pestered Wang Chenhao to prevent him from leaving, and said coquettishly: "How can adults tell Yuying?" ”

Wang Chenhao said with a smile: "Since it is a heavenly opportunity, naturally I can't tell outsiders." ”

Qiao Yuying said: "We are now a cooperative relationship, we are people in the same boat, and I am not an outsider." ”

Wang Chenhao suddenly joked to her: "Then are you an insider?" ”

Qiao Yuying asked puzzledly, "What does it have to do with the insider?" ”

Wang Chenhao further explained: "Either an insider is naturally an outsider! ”

Qiao Yuying exclaimed, only then did she understand the meaning of Wang Chenhao's words, and her face suddenly turned crimson with shame, and she didn't dare to look at him when she lowered her head. After a long time, Qiao Yuying calmed down her nervous mood, and when she looked up at Wang Chenhao again, he was already laughing and flashing. Obviously, Wang Chenhao deliberately teased her, Qiao Yuying couldn't help but stomp her feet violently after she figured it out, her silver teeth clenched, but she didn't dare to chase after her anymore and entangle.
