"When I went to the banquet yesterday, when I went to the house of my friends and friends, I saw that the front of the bank next door was overcrowded, businessmen, coachmen, pawns, women and children all rushed to be the first with deposit receipts in hand, and the police could not stop them from blowing their whistles. The queuers held deposit receipts in the tens of thousands, and the few were three or five, and they all heard the rise in silver prices. After the banquet, I called Guangzhou and Tianjin, and the answer was the same. Yellow and white things seem to become famous overnight, opportunistic, generous donations, and all living beings are nothing more than this. At the time of writing, my wife had a bank of China deposit certificate of 200 and asked if she could exchange it. I say that the foundation of the nation cannot be destroyed by silver. Western guns are unfavorable, so they will do the next means, which is really delusional!

The Shanghai Communiqué shattered the Chinese dream, and China was no longer the Manchurian court of the past, but the people's confidence was insufficient, and they mistakenly returned as foreigners. Therefore, I would like to say that there are not many machines in my Republic of China, but silver abounds! The dream of 40,000,000 people cannot be achieved without baptism, and cholera silver can only unite my heart and boost my people's morale. ”――

Central Daily of the Republic of China.

The silver crisis that began in Shanghai began to spread, and Guangzhou, Wuchang, Chongqing, Tianjin, and even Hong Kong and Singapore all heard about silver. The front of the bank is crowded every day, and the people who go to the exchange to wait for the news are even more cloudy, and the whole country is swept up by the gradually expanding tide.

The British Chamber of Commerce on the banks of the Huangpu River sang and danced, men and women dressed up in dresses amid the melodious sound of saxophones, and golden champagne gushed out of the bottle to release countless white foam. Suddenly, the melody changes sharply, the Marseillaise, representing victory and revelry, flows from the stage, and a man from the Bank of France raises his glass: "Guys, the Chinese are no longer good." Their silver reserves are running out, and it's time for them to spit out the dividends of war. Cheers to victory! ”

"God, how I wish time had stopped forever in this moment."

"For our gold and silver."

"I want to know, what is the expression of His Excellency Yang Qiu now? Maybe we should have a train ready. ”

"Haha."

The laughter in the banquet hall was unbridled, and greed and extravagance were carnivaled, and from the bottom of their hearts they vented their contempt for the country they once looked down upon. In their eyes, China should export cheap labor and resources. It should be turbulent, poor, backward! There shouldn't be any industry in the country. There shouldn't be any national capital! Because only in this way can they provide a steady stream of miners and coolies for the world colonies behind them, and only then can they unscrupulously turn their gardens into racetracks.

on the corner of the hall. Hanger stood quietly by the window, scoffing at the revelry.

William Hamill noticed him, took two glasses of red wine from the waiter's hand, walked to his side, handed them the glasses and asked, "Your Excellency, why are you sullen?" Their stocks are running out, and the dollar can already be smelled in the stock and bond markets, is there any problem? Are you sad for your friends? ”

Hanger took the wine glass and glanced lightly at the reveling crowd: "Your Excellency William, don't you think it's too early to do this?" ”

"Really? Does His Excellency Yang Qiu still have the strength to turn the tables? His silver inventory is less than half, and his foreign exchange needs to keep an eye on stocks and bonds. His people did the wrong thing, and imprisoned more silver in their wallets without releasing it. What's more, he lacks an effective financial team and helpers, do you really think he will use gold to turn things around? ”

"Of course not." Hanger shook his finger affirmatively: "For Yang, gold is the pillar of the country. As long as he keeps the gold, even if he discards all the silver, he can still rebuild the country and financial order with his ability. ”

William Hanmill looked at Hanger strangely and asked, "Then what are you worried about?" ”

Hanger smiled: "Your Excellency William, do you know why President George Washington was able to lead our United States of America to a final victory?" Perhaps you know better how His Excellency Abraham was victorious. ”

William smiled, and secretly cursed in his heart for why this American cowboy didn't open any pot and mention which pot, and the British Empire was silent about this past. This guy compares the current situation! Although extremely reluctant, he said politely: "George and His Excellency Abraham are my most admired heroes, and their victory stems from their own efforts to uphold the will of the American people. ”

"Haha." Hanger suddenly laughed, and wanted to scold him for hypocrisy. Waving his hand: "Your Excellency, William, I know you don't want to talk about this past. But what I want to tell you is that President George Washington's victory lies in the Manifesto **, which never existed, and the Emancipation Proclamation issued by His Excellency Abraham in front of the whole world, and the two different declarations actually have one thing in common. ”

"What do you have in common?"

Hanger handed the unsiped red wine to his assistant and became serious: "First, they are all great leaders. Second, they all have the ability to modify the rules of the game! Similarly, in this country, Yang Qiu has become an unshakable leader by relying on victory in the war, so he is fully capable of changing the rules of the game at any time! I think such a celebration is too early, unless the British Empire and the United States of America are willing to make an expedition to China, the consequence of provoking him is the emergence of a country in the East that does the same as Moscow to abolish all the rules of freedom! ”

No matter how stupid William was, he knew what these words meant, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "Your Excellency Hangel, do you mean that he will unite with Moscow?" Is he going to break the promises he made in the U.S. Congress? ”

"Your Excellency William, as far as I know, the Russian envoy Garrahan is in Nanking. And don't you think, there is no difference between a politician and a Broadway actor? I know him, he's a good actor, he's been acting since the day we met, and of course I have to admit that he's an actor who sees the country as his life and can contag people's hearts. After Han Gele finished speaking, he smiled slightly, turned his head and asked his assistant, "Is Your Excellency Yang Qiu still in Shanghai?" ”

"I heard that he has returned to Nanjing to welcome the birth of his second child." The assistant said.

"I think, before he was thoroughly enraged. I should go see him. Halfway through his footsteps, he suddenly stopped, and William Hamill thought he had something to say, but after a moment he sped away.

Hanger left for Nanjing to prepare for the price list, but the silver crisis continued to ferment and expand. As in the parallel world of the 1924 Franc Crisis, the central and provincial local governments, although they had issued temporary regulations to strictly prohibit private speculation, could not stop the exchange of huge amounts of silver. Banknotes were sold.

In front of Nanjing's Zheshang Bank, dozens of students held banners protesting against Anglo-American financial interference, and several businessmen who wanted to go in to run on silver were blocked at the door before they could enter.

"Don't exchange silver! Now the foreigners wish that we would be tightened in silver. The state should be supported. ”

"Fuck you, the money in Lao Tzu's hand is going to be waste paper, and if I don't exchange it for you, I will eat and drink."

"Why are you unreasonable? The crisis is only temporary. Banks have silver to deal with foreigners. ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care if it's a foreigner or not, get out!"

The students and businessmen were in a mess, pushing and shoving, but fortunately several policemen arrived to push the two sides away to stop the conflict. Seeing that they could not stop the merchants from continuing to run on the silver, the students became even more anxious, and several of the girls even began to cry.

In the car in the distance, Yang Qiu saw the clenching of his fists behind this scene. Zhang Wenjing next to him thought that he was worried about the crisis, and hurriedly said: "Vice President, don't worry, Yan Xishan and Kuang Jingyang have good news, and Jin Shang and Nanyang are moving." Now that patriotic businessmen across the country are taking action, I expect that in 10 days at most, we will be able to gather 5,000 tons of silver. And I have already discussed with the Prime Minister's Office, if the situation worsens, I will directly freeze all transactions! Temporary closure of the exchange. Wait for the country to stabilize before opening the market. ”

"Wenjing, actually."

Looking at Zhang Wenjing's red eyes after staying up all night, Yang Qiu suddenly sat up straight, his eyes looked at him painfully as his Adam's apple squirmed, as if he had something urgent to say, but when it came to his mouth, he suddenly held it back. Close your eyes and slowly lean back in your chair. This strange behavior made Zhang Wenjing very strange, and he hurriedly asked, "Vice President, do you have anything to say?" ”

Needless to say, it's just about to be dumped! But can it be said?

Although he has very poor financial knowledge, it can be said that he has no financial knowledge at all, but at least he knows the methods used to deal with speculators in the early days of the founding of the parallel world republic, and he also knows the famous "Glassstille Act", so after surviving the initial panic, he has actually thought of ways and countermeasures.

Check the exchange, return to 0 trading, restrict short buying and selling, cut off gold and silver output, formulate strict silver laws, and so on. Sitting in his position, there are more ways to deal with this kind of speculation, but there is one biggest problem that makes him keep holding himself down and not making a move.

That was the global financial crisis nine years later!

This crisis has been thoroughly analyzed by later generations, and any manufacturing surplus is a lie. The real reason is that the United States took too much gold and silver in World War I, and in order to keep the gold and silver, Wall Street also came up with the most disgusting thing in the world. It is to issue treasury bonds with gold and silver as a low-pressure substance, and then throw the treasury bonds to Britain, France or investors, so that the huge gold and silver reserves are frozen in the United States and cannot leave.

It was fine to do this for the first five years of the post-war recovery period in Europe, because the market and European manufacturing had not yet fully recovered, but after the recovery of the world's manufacturing industry five years later, everyone found that they were facing an extremely serious problem.

No money!

In the era of the gold standard, any currency was to be measured equivalent to gold and silver, so there were strict rules for currency issuance, and currency could not be issued without gold and silver, otherwise it would depreciate violently! But the problem is that the United States alone occupies one-third of the world's gold and silver, and locks it in with national bonds, which is equivalent to holding one-third of the world's money in the palm of its hand. As a result, after the recovery of European manufacturing, a large number of manufactured goods will face a deflationary and moneyless market. So Wall Street came up with a "trick", which is to amplify the short buying and selling of credit, and even magnify it to dozens or even hundreds of times when it is craziest. In this way, the virtual money comes out, and the world liquidity is restored. But the problem is that virtual money can't replace real money, so in the end, when Britain siphons out the money, it eventually leads to a financial plague of the century.

If they now implement the restrictive measures of the 1929 period, then when the economic crisis really breaks out, Europe and the United States, which pursue pragmatism and take-it-or-leave-it, will be able to copy this bill without bothering their brains, quickly resolve the crisis, and reverse the biggest financial tragedy in the history of the white world! Without the crisis of 1929, or the time was too short to have a full 6 years of tragedy, the world economy that had entered the fast lane at that time was something that China could not catch up with anyway, without 1929, where could you buy so many cheap machinery and equipment? Without 1929, where would it be to get hundreds of thousands of skilled people and immigrants?

Yes, any country-to-state confrontation cannot be pushed by conspiracy alone, but the problem is that as long as the United States does not come up with those gold and silver, the world's gold and silver production is far from meeting the strong demand for commodity trading, and China's poverty alleviation and entry into industry also lock in a large amount of gold and silver, etc., the economic leverage effect will lead to the 1929 crisis on a larger scale than in history, and even worse!

China has a population, a huge market, a small manufacturing scale, and a pitiful amount of exports, coupled with the infrastructure that cannot be built for decades, which is many times stronger than the foundation of Europe and the United States to resist the crisis!

So what he was facing was a completely unsolvable problem, either to come up with a Chinese version of the "Glassstille Act" in response to the 1929 crisis, or to temporarily retreat and make every effort to keep the right to currency, and the strategic industries of domestic manufacturing, finance, and telecommunications, and then secretly accumulate strength to survive the past few years.

The concession now may be a hundredfold return! But the problem is that nothing is absolute, what if you are wrong? So outsiders simply can't imagine how fierce the young vice president's inner struggle is at this time. And the secrets of his heart have not been confided in so far, so he has been out of this world from beginning to end. This is no way, a soul living in the world of the Internet, television and advertising, back in this era how can there be real friends?

Yang Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the students who were still fighting, his heart was very distressed...... ()
