After the Communist government decided to change the original form of currency from the silver standard to the gold bullion standard, in order to avoid malicious exchange of gold reserves, it was stipulated that only after reaching the minimum amount of 16,000 Chinese yuan was allowed to exchange 10 kilograms of gold from banks. net

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is more reasonable, you see, unlike the gold exchange standard, which does not give you cash, as long as you can reach this minimum amount. But in reality, at least 99 percent of China's population is not able to reach this level.

At present, the monthly salary of domestic workers is generally about 10 silver dollars, and the higher ones can reach more than 10 silver dollars. More than 10 yuan a month, that is to say, it is only more than 100 yuan a year.

More than 100 yuan a year, more than 1,000 yuan in 10 years, only more than 10,000 yuan in 100 years...

A person who does not eat or drink for a hundred years just to exchange ten kilograms of gold? He might as well go straight to the gold store and buy it.

Of course, wages and other things will also increase, but when the time comes, the government will only need to raise the ceiling, and there is nothing to worry about at all.

In addition, the exchange rate of the banknotes issued this time is basically the same as that of the silver dollar in the past, and the maximum denomination of the banknote is 10 yuan, and the minimum denomination of the auxiliary currency is 1 cent, so as to facilitate circulation.

At the same time, at the beginning, the government only issued 100 million yuan in banknotes, and this 100 million yuan was still paid as the wages of civil servants―――――― and the government has always implemented the policy of high salaries and honesty, so the economic situation of civil servants is quite good, at least better than that of farmers and workers, so it is very reasonable for civil servants to come out and take on the "guinea pigs" at this time.

After all, the government of the Nationalist Society could not issue the 100 million newly released banknotes to the soldiers guarding the frontier, so it could only let the civil servants be the touchstone first. Moreover, even paper money cannot depreciate as soon as it is issued. After all, this is not a Golden Dollar...

In addition, the replacement of the silver standard by the gold bullion standard also took a certain amount of time to change, and it was impossible to directly ban the circulation of silver dollars in one step, so the government decided to use three years to slowly reduce the circulation of silver dollars in the market, and then replace them with new currencies issued by the central bank.

At present, there are more than 1,600 tons of gold in the vault as gold reserves, and 1,600 tons is by no means a small amount in this era. What's more, this number is increasing every year.

The only thing that is more troublesome is how to make the people recognize the paper money, after all, the thin paper money is not as good as the silver dollar, but fortunately, the credibility of the national government is not bad at this stage, whether it is at home or in the world, it is far stronger than the Republic of China in another world, so Yan Guang and others are not particularly worried...

――――――――――

"I didn't expect to be able to spend it..."

After buying goods from the store with a one-dollar note, a man in his 30s dressed as an intellectual breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he also understands how stupid his words are. But compared to the silver dollars of the past. Today's paper money is really not very trustworthy...

"Forget it, at least there's an advantage of being light..."

As he said this, the man carefully put the banknote with Yan Guang's head in his pocket.

At present, the newly issued banknotes are mainly auxiliary coins such as 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents, 1 jiao, and five jiao, and main currencies such as 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan.

On these banknotes, various patterns are painted.

For example, the one-dollar banknote in the man's hand is painted with Yan Guang's head on the front, while the other two-dollar, five-dollar, and ten-yuan banknotes are almost all like this.

As for the tier-by-level coins, the main ones drawn are architectural and military achievements such as the Empire State Building, the Yangtze River Bridge, and the Xingri Horse-class battleship. On the auxiliary coins at the corner level, it is the sum of the images of soldiers and workers, peasants, intellectuals, etc., of course, these are all obverse, and the back is the motherland's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, such as the Great Wall, the Yangtze River, Mount Tai, Everest and other ......,

Although many people have an instinctive distrust of thin banknotes, they still like the exquisite patterns drawn on banknotes.

It is in this case that Huayuan. This new currency began to circulate in full circulation in China. At the same time, due to China's strong national strength and large gold reserves, the Chinese dollar is a very good currency even in the world. Baidu search

……… At least. It won't be like fiat currency or gold yuan...

Although the Chinese people have some doubts about the replacement of the silver dollar with the Chinese dollar, the circulation of the Chinese dollar in the market is not a big problem. Of course, it is still within the limits ――――――of safety, after all, the lessons of fiat currency and gold yuan bills in history cannot be remembered, and the current national government has no financial problems, and there is no need to relieve financial pressure by printing banknotes.

――――――――――

In a military camp in Thailand, many dark-skinned Thai soldiers are training on the playground, because this is a military forbidden area, there are not many civilians near the barracks, or there are no civilians at all, so in the past, except for the normal drill sound, it is still quite quiet.

But...

"Buzz Buzz Buzz...."

With a strange sound, trucks drove to the gate of the barracks.

"What people!"

Seeing the convoy of dozens of trucks, the soldiers in charge of the guards at the gate did not dare to take it lightly, and shouted and asked loudly while walking out with weapons.

It is no wonder that they are so vigilant, for the atmosphere in Thailand, or indeed in the entire Indochina Peninsula, has been quite tense recently due to the active anti-British and anti-French elements. Although the Thai side is not as lively as Burma or Vietnam, not all guerrillas and resistance groups are controlled by the national government, so some incidents still occur from time to time on the Thai side―――――― when the national government and Britain and France are at their deepest, the national government not only imported a large number of new Mauser rifles to the Indochina Peninsula, but also took out the old guns that were about to rust in the past, such as Hanyang-made and Martini, from the arsenal that had been unattended for a long time. It is given free of charge to resistance groups and local people in Indochina.

Therefore, the Indochina Peninsula is quite lively now. After all, when you have a gun in your hand, your mood is different.

But that's the result. Even the Thai border guards have to be cautious when patrolling.

"Don't be nervous !!"

Seeing that the guard came out with a gun, a young man in civilian clothes walked down in the passenger seat of the truck in front of him with a thing that looked like a document.

"We're delivering something, you should have gotten the news?"

The young people were a little strange when they said this, after all, the Thai government should have told the people here that they would send something today.

"Sending something?"

After taking the document and looking at it, the soldier looked up.

"Of course I do, but the situation has been a bit chaotic lately. So we have to be careful, too..."

"Understood, understood!"

After saying this with a smile, the young man retrieved his documents and said.

"Then you can let us in now?"

"Please wait a minute." Saying that, the guard ran back, and then he didn't know what to say on the phone, and it didn't take long for the guard to wave his hand, and the gate that had been blocking the convoy soon opened. The guard shouted at them. "You can come in!"

After getting permission. The young man smiled and returned to the co-pilot's seat and said to the driver.

"Let's go, go in."

"Yes!" ..., after answering this, the driver restarts the car.

Driven by the driver, dozens of trucks in the rear also restarted, and followed the first car into the barracks.

At this time, the Thai soldiers in the barracks seemed to know all the news of the convoy, so the Thai soldiers who were originally training waited on the playground one by one.

The barracks were not very large, so soon the convoy arrived at the playground in the center of the barracks.

"It's finally here."

A Thai general with a not very dark complexion said this. After greeting him, some soldiers around him stepped forward.

"You're the convoy that delivered things."

"That's right." The young man nodded. "Under the surname Cao, you are General Li."

The general didn't deny it either.

"I'll arrange for some people to help you unload your things."

"Thank you very much."

In fact, these are the things that the Thai people should unload, after all, the things are sent to them, and if you really have to rely on the people in the car to unload, it will take a long time.

Under the general's orders, these Thai soldiers were very diligent, and in just a few moments, the playground was already full of various wooden boxes. It's just that there are dozens of trucks coming this time, so it looks like you want to unload them all. I'm afraid it's going to take some time.

At this time, the general surnamed Li walked to a wooden box. It was only after a soldier who looked like a soldier who looked like a pro-soldier pried open the wooden box that he took out a gun from the wooden box.

"It's a good gun..."

In the wooden box, there were more than ten Mauser rifles neatly placed, and at this time, the other soldiers also pried open the wooden box, which placed in addition to the Mauser rifles, as well as a Wehrmacht equipped with a Browning **** and Madsen light machine guns, etc., and a relatively large wooden box even placed a 37mm infantry gun.

These are all military aids from the Nationalist government to the Siamese government.

In other words, it should be the second-hand aid provided by the Communist government to the Siam government, because all these weapons are second-hand goods left over from the Commune government. Of course, even if it is second-hand, it is still a very advanced weapon for the Siamese government, after all, whether it is the Mauser G98 rifle, and the Browning **** are quite classic weapons, even the Madsen light machine gun, which has eliminated a certain number of light machine guns in the national government, has also been used by Brazilians in the 21st century in later generations...

Therefore, when they saw that the wooden box was full of such weapons, the surrounding Thai soldiers quickly cheered.

Merely...

"Captain, can we go somewhere else and rest first?"

So it was the co-pilot of the other car, who was also the young man's deputy.

To be honest, the cars of this era are indeed not very comfortable means of transportation, although they are driving the latest new military trucks purchased by the Wehrmacht, but there are still problems along the way, just breaking down no less than 20 times, this road can toss them badly.

However, there is no way to do this, and the enterprises that provide military vehicles to the Wehrmacht naturally do not dare to deceive. The level is really limited, after all, the level of this era is like this.

Hear the deputy's complaints. The young man also seemed to remember the hard work on the road, so he turned his head to the general while his face was bitter.

"General, is there any place here where we can rest?"

When he said this, he naturally hoped that the general, surnamed Li, would provide some rooms so that they could have a good rest.

You know, there are no highways in Thailand in this era, let alone tell the road. Even the ordinary asphalt roads are not much, plus the military trucks of this era―――――― not to mention the subordinates below, even the young man himself is fed up, so he also wants to take a good rest, instead of just sending things here and going back directly. …,

However, just as the young man asked, General Li, who was opposite the young man, looked at the young man's deputy and several other people with a stunned look.

"This is..."

Pointing to the equipment on the young deputy's body. General Li said in surprise.

Look at General Li's hand. The youth saw only heavily armed men.

That's right, heavily armed.

Although it is in Thailand, and the equipment transported is supplied to the Thai side, but because the national government has imported a large number of weapons into the Indochina Peninsula in the past two years, a considerable part of the weapons have flowed into Thailand―――――― and the national government has indeed only given weapons to resistance elements in Burma and Vietnam, but the national government cannot control these people not to import weapons into Thailand, and this is also an important reason for the recent instability of the situation in Thailand.

Therefore. Although the transport mission was carried out in Thailand, after obtaining or forcing the consent of the Thai government, the convoy carried a large amount of weapons and equipment, and also carried some heavily armed soldiers for the escort mission.

The young man's deputy was in charge of commanding these soldiers.

At this moment, the young man's deputy and the soldiers under him were wearing a new type of tactical vest that the Wehrmacht had just begun to distribute to the troops, and there were two **** sticks on the vest. A string of grenades, in addition to various weapons such as sabers. In addition, he carried the latest semi-automatic rifle or Type 18 submachine gun on his back.

No matter how you look at it, these soldiers are definitely among the ones who are armed to the teeth.

In terms of firepower alone. It may be an exaggeration to say that these defense soldiers can eliminate ten times the number of Thai soldiers, but it is still no problem to eliminate five times the number of Thai soldiers themselves.

What's more, in addition to the equipment on the body, each truck is also equipped with a Type 19 squad machine gun on the roof, and the rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per minute is an absolute nightmare for the attackers. If it weren't for the lack of heavy equipment such as mortars and infantry artillery, it would not have been a problem to fight a battalion of the Thai army with just such a platoon.

"Excuse me, what kind of gun is that?"

According to the general, one of the soldiers was carrying a new semi-automatic rifle about a meter long and with 10 detachable magazines.

In terms of appearance, the gun is probably similar to the M1 Garand rifle equipped by the later MD, of course, these generals surnamed Li are not clear.

"This?"

The young man pointed to the rifle his men were carrying.

The new semi-automatic rifle was only finalized and mass-produced at the end of '24, but it was a time of peace, so it was currently produced in small quantities within the Wehrmacht, with only more than 200,000 rods currently in use in the main forces.

In recent times, due to the relatively unstable borders between China and Central and South China, young troops are qualified to be equipped with such rifles.

Of course, this is also thanks to China's progress in industry and national strength in recent years, otherwise the Wehrmacht would not be equipped with such a high firepower and high ammunition consumption troops. Even if it is equipped, I am afraid that it will learn from the British and put ammunition blockers on guns.

"That's right, that's it!"

The general surnamed Li did not know that this was a rifle that was only a small amount of equipment in the Wehrmacht, so he pointed to the back of the rifle.

"Can I see this?"

"Hmm..." Hearing what the general surnamed Li said, the young man was somewhat embarrassed, but fortunately, although this semi-automatic rifle was only a small amount of equipment in the Wehrmacht, it was not a very secret weapon, so the young man nodded after thinking about it. No problem! ”

Hearing the young man's answer, the general surnamed Li was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to arrange a place for the young man to live.

Wait until the youth group arrives at the place to rest. The general surnamed Li was holding the newly acquired weapon and caressed it lovingly. After a while, the barracks began to hear gunshots.

When it first started. There were also Thai soldiers who thought something was happening, but when they arrived at the playground, they found that it was only a general surnamed Li who was holding a rifle and firing it test.

"It's a good gun..."

After knocking out three magazines in a row, the general surnamed Li said in admiration.

At this time, the general surnamed Li fell in love with the Type 19 squad machine gun on the truck, and looked at this light machine gun that was completely different from Madsen, and the general surnamed Li's curiosity as a soldier burned.

It's just that when he said he wanted to give it a try, he was rejected by the soldiers who stayed behind.

However, the soldiers left behind said so. But on the contrary, it aroused the curiosity of the general surnamed Li.

So the general surnamed Li ran to the residence, found the young man who was resting on the bed, and expressed his request to give it a try.

Considering that they were all on the territory of this general surnamed Li at the moment, the young man did not refuse.

Not long after, the general surnamed Li had already run back and played excitedly with a Type 19 machine gun. It didn't take long. The barracks resounded with the sound of the Type 19 squad tearing cloth with a machine gun.

"What kind of weapon is this..."

When the general surnamed Li pulled the trigger under the guidance of the soldiers. Then when he watched the wooden target not far away being torn to pieces by the bullets fired by the machine gun, the general surnamed Li said in surprise.

"This is our latest Type 19 squad machine gun..."

Of course, sometimes this kind of squad machine gun can also make a cameo appearance as a general-purpose machine gun, as if it was just now.

“……… If it was on the battlefield, then there must have been a lot of people who died under its guns ...

Looking at the machine gun whose barrel seemed to be a little red, the general surnamed Li said slowly.

A few hours later, when the youth and their men had finally rested. In front of the young man, the general surnamed Li asked him to leave a semi-automatic rifle and a Type 19 squad machine gun as gifts.

However, the young man who had just allowed him to conduct a test shot flatly refused at this time.

"I'm sorry, but these weapons are very new even in the military, and those of us who are soldiers don't have the right to give away government weapons..."

In fact, the main thing is that it can't be explained, after all, it's easy to explain with less ammunition, but if there are a few less machine guns...

The general surnamed Li was naturally very sorry for this, but he never thought of being tough, even if he was the supreme commander of the more than 10,000 Thai troops―――――― a few years ago. Thailand was cut by Britain and France, although China is not necessarily stronger than Britain. But it must be stronger than France, and in this case, the general surnamed Li does not dare to make trouble for his country.

After a few hours of rest. The group also regained some physical strength, and at this time their main task, the task of transporting weapons, had also been completed. So the group quickly left the barracks in a truck, and inside the barracks, the Thai soldiers who had received the new weapons were smiling one by one, after all, they could finally get rid of the old weapons of the past.

At this time, the general surnamed Li was still pondering.

"Chinese......... Has the technology of the Chinese advanced to this point..."

Even now, the general surnamed Li can't forget the feeling when he first used a semi-automatic rifle and a squad machine gun, that ferocious firepower...

Don't think that you are born in Indochina, it must be a turtle, Siam has reached a considerable degree of Westernization after the Chulalongkorn reform of King Rama V, and almost every year young students will study in the West, such as Rama VI once went to the United Kingdom to study, and even served in the British Army, so the Thai ** team is not lacking in understanding of the West...

"Perhaps, we should really think about the future..."

――――――――――

At this time, in the Thai royal palace, the ambassador to Thailand, who was a guest in the royal palace, whispered for a moment to the same embassy staff, and then smiled and said to King Rama VII, who was sitting there in the royal palace.

"Your Majesty, the weapons we promised have been delivered!"

"That's good." King Rama VII, who had just ascended the throne and was only in his 30s, stood up and said. "Anyway, thank you very much..."

"Your Majesty is gracious." Ran Zheng smiled. "My government has always been generous to our allies..."

Rama VII nodded.

"I also believe that I am making the right decision now..."

As he said this, Rama VII glanced back at the portrait of Rama VI hanging on the wall.

"I hope..."

――――――――――

It's still Huayuan, and it's a bit too old to use literature as a unit
