Chapter 749: San Francisco Earthquake!
"In order to contribute to the health of the whole world, we in Germany are ready to resume the Olympic Games, which were previously suspended because of the world war! ……”
This is another speech by German Chancellor Adolf at the Diet, and it is obvious that he has thrown out another big plan, and shouting this, of course, is to hope that the Congress will approve money for him.
The right to the budget is still in the hands of Congress, and this is all learned from the United States...... Well, the current United States of America no longer exists.
So this Olympics......
At the beginning, it was done by Franz I of Austria, which is equivalent to restoring the old things, but later, because everyone can see, this Olympics is completely a money-losing business, you see that Austria lost money, and it is simply grandma who doesn't know it.
No one does anything to lose money, unless there is some other special purpose, such as Franz, to find something to do for his countrymen, and there is also a way to promote his national prestige through this kind of sports event, which many people also understand.
In itself, so-and-so will do this since ancient times, what were the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, they were all held at the conference, and then whoever disobeyed, I would do you if I didn't obey, and then the hegemony was achieved. In fact, it's the same, and there is the ancient Dayu, that's also, Dayu inherited Shun's position, and then held a meeting, whoever doesn't accept it, I'll kill you if you don't accept it, so everyone listens to me.
The same is true for Europeans, there is no difference between everyone, the so-called will, this is the role, so why is Germany going to hold such an Olympics now?
Is it a demonstration against the other victorious powers?
That's why......
"Improve the overall physical fitness of the people. And it's just the right time for the whole people to have fun. Entertain yourself......" That's what Adolf said to Stresemann in private.
Other words. That's what he really thinks about this Adolf!
It's really too much to do such a grand event just for entertainment, so ......
"Mr. Adolf, you are really a foresight." Stresemann is very obedient to Adolf now, no two hearts, you are right, that's all.
In fact, Adolf would have considered. In fact, it is indeed far-sighted.
Why is that?
It's simple, that is, the German general election is coming again, so this election, how can we the German People's Party say that we can't hand over a report card that satisfies all the people?
And this Olympics, that's a very, very good end to this report card, and the rest, it's up to the whole people to vote.
In this way, Adolf is indeed quite politically mature, but this Olympics. Of course, it won't be too early, at least in the autumn of this year.
Anyway, there is still some time. And this so-called budget, needless to say, the German Reichstag at this time is basically the same, you Adolf is right, we all listen to you.
So, these things, Germany has got to this point, and has done so many incredible things, and this Olympics, these things, where does the real money come from?
The answer, of course, is from the Pacific Empire!
First of all, the two countries said that they want to establish a foreign exchange reserve system, and the new Tang Yuan is your Germany's foreign exchange reserves, a reserve currency, to issue German marks.
In fact, the concept of this reserve currency, this is definitely a very good creation, an absolute creation, because the previous currency issuance basis was gold, but this battle is not much gold, so we have to find a basis for issuing currency.
Some people have tried to use land, that is, to use the land of the whole of Germany as the basis to issue currency, but this thing is very unreliable and very dangerous, because land lacks one advantage, that is, fast realization.
You can't sell land to a foreign country, can you? Isn't that a traitor?
Therefore, this thing is not good, so there is only one way to find something else, and at a glance, the best thing is actually the new Tang Yuan.
Of course, the pound was not bad, but the British didn't want to fight at the time.
Then with this foundation, this money will be easy to do, from the Pacific Empire.
Then, a loan agreement was signed, which is actually very good, although the amount is not very much, that is, 1 billion New Tang dollars, but this thing is very important, and there are other things derived from it, but more than one billion.
Because, other commercial banks will also follow suit!
Why can't our commercial banks do business that your state-owned banks can do?
This is absolutely not good, so commercial banks will inevitably follow up, so of course the amount will not be small.
In addition, Keynes didn't give a suggestion, that is, to increase the money supply a lot, and this caused the interest rate of the New Tang Yuan to be lowered.
Why not borrow money?
That's right, as long as you're not a fool, then there's no reason not to borrow this new Tang Yuan, because this thing is just perfect for now.
Hard currency, fast circulation, fast realization, and low interest rates, basically all the advantages have been accounted for.
Therefore, Germany is based on an almost unlimited amount of New Tang Yuan, so of course they can engage in national employment, of course they can engage in all kinds of large-scale infrastructure construction, and of course they can engage in this Olympic Games......
Actually, even if you want to engage in that moon landing program, it's okay, but it is estimated that if Li Mengyang knew, then he would definitely scold.
"What a loser!"
This is simply a pair of strange father and son, the key is that the father does not recognize the son, and the son does not know the father......
But on the German side, this has also caused a lot of benefits, that is, they have created a lot of market demand.
The demand has increased, in fact, Keynes's theory has succeeded, and that's it.
In other words, of course Li Mengyang knows that Keynes's theory is not omnipotent, but Keynes's theory is very important at this time and in the following decades, and it can even be said that it is very consistent with the present.
As far as Li Mengyang knows, in the era when he came, in fact, the people who dominated the world's economy at that time, or to be more specific, the people who led the world's central banks, were all monetarists.
In fact, the monetary school pays attention to the fact that all economic activities are centered on money, and even say that there is an economy with money, and there is no economy without money.
And the ancestor of this school is Keynes.
To put it bluntly, Li Mengyang now has a genius economist like Keynes, so it is tantamount to using the advanced economic means of later generations in advance.
The news that Germany is going to host the Olympic Games will immediately spread throughout the world, and soon everyone will know, so how many countries are willing to participate at that time, everyone will discuss with each other, but at this time, there is also an earth-shattering event on the side of the Pacific Empire!
The time entered April, and San Francisco, the original capital of California, was San Francisco, and at 5 o'clock in the morning on the 18th, the place suddenly shook on the spot!
Thundered! Thundered......
Click! Click......
"Ahh What's wrong? ”
"It's, an earthquake! There was an earthquake! ”
"Oh God! Run! ”
At more than 5 o'clock in the morning, at this time, most of the people in a city were still asleep, and at this time, suddenly the earth began to shake, the ground was shattered, and the building was almost instantaneously unstable, a large number of collapses, and the construction of San Francisco was still very good, although the industrial aspect is very general, but after all, it was developed early, and this is the place where the earliest gold rush began.
The most important thing is that the epicenter of this earthquake is very close to the city center, so how did everyone run?
Moreover, during the earthquake, the ground was torn so badly that it caused a large number of gas pipes to burst, and as soon as the gas came out, it quickly formed a fire!
The city has more than 600,000 residents at this time, which is not a small number, and most of this number are Chinese.
San Francisco, it's normal for the majority of Chinese to be Chinese, this is the earliest city in the west, and it is also the place where Li Mengyang, the emperor, began, so isn't this the land of Longxing in the eyes of traditional Chinese?
Although it is said that the emperor does not live in this place now, then the meaning of this place is still there.
As a result, the Chinese are the main group in this place, which is simply speechless, and this time the earthquake is not only in San Francisco, but also in the entire Northern California, and many cities near San Francisco have been affected, but the size is different.
And as soon as the news of this earthquake came out, of course, it came to Li Mengyang's desk as soon as possible......
"Huh? Earthquake?! When Li Mengyang saw the news, he was simply shocked and sweated out!
Why is that? Could it be that Li Mengyang is scared?
It's not that he's afraid, it's that he's repentant!
Why do you regret it?
It's very simple, as a traverser, Li Mengyang knows about the San Francisco earthquake, and he definitely knows it!
However, as a traverser, no matter how good his memory is, it has been more than 40 years since he came to this era, and he still has to deal with so many official duties every day, he Li Mengyang is not an immortal, he really can't remember this matter!
Besides, he couldn't remember what day it was!
Li Mengyang just knew that San Francisco was not safe, there was always a hidden danger of earthquakes, on what plate, not only San Francisco, but also Los Angeles, but ...... It seems that the small life of the future generations over there is also very good, what Silicon Valley, what Hollywood, right?
Therefore, Li Mengyang really can't remember this matter, so now......
"All-out disaster relief!"
Li Mengyang, as the emperor, directly approved these four big characters! (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you! Thank you, Brother Feng...... Thank you all for your continued support, thank you very much!
