"It can't be!" As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Bechtodd shook his head and said, "It is impossible for us to allow foreigners to interfere in the country's currency issuance. The Germans may be able to tolerate the issuance of currency in the hands of a Chinese, we will never do that! ”

Lin Youde thought to himself, "It's really not that simple", but his face still had a confident expression, he put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and exerted invisible pressure on the Austrians while saying: "You may not know it, but now the people of your country have already begun to use paper marks in black market transactions, and even in public transactions in areas closer to Germany. ”

"Hmph," said the Minister of Finance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who once again showed his "ingenuity," "it turns out that our country still has commodity trading, and I just heard your alarmist words, and I thought that my country has become a forbidden area for commerce." ”

"You're too worried," Lin Youde replied with a smile, "even if the economy collapses completely, people will barter to get the necessities they need, and as long as humanity survives, trading will inevitably happen." And the people of your country apparently believe that the paper mark is good enough to serve as evidence of the transaction. Unless you can restore the trust of the people in the krona, it is a foregone conclusion that paper marks will be widely circulated in the field of trade, and you will not be able to prohibit the flow of paper marks into your country, because the people on the border are trading with the German border people on a daily basis, and they will definitely have paper marks, which will spread from the border to the mainland of your country. Are you going to ban this trade altogether? This will make your country's economy even worse. ”

After Lin Youde finished speaking, he leaned back on the back of the chair and put on a comfortable posture to look at the Austrian.

Silence enveloped the room.

Seeing that the Austrians had no intention of speaking, Lin Youde said: "Actually, you are all smart people, and there is no shortage of people under you who are proficient in economics. But you have not adopted them, because they are detrimental to your personal interests. Your inaction has led to the current result. At such times, I propose a solution that will not seriously harm your interests, but will actually solve the problem, and I can even promise you a one-to-one exchange of paper marks for the kroner that has become waste paper, and I think this price is tempting enough, so I will propose it. ”

Lin Youde found that when he mentioned that he could exchange paper marks for krona one to one, some people's expressions were obviously shaken, and it was obvious that not everyone present had enough time to exchange the krona in their hands for gold before the gold standard was lifted.

Sure enough, the key to the negotiation was to "offer a price they couldn't refuse", and the words of the great godfather Corioni were true everywhere.

At this moment, Sissi suddenly said, "I thought that Your Excellency the Special Envoy had come this time to help those who believed in your theory. ”

"I'm helping them, stabilizing the currency is only the first step in economic reform, and then there will be a series of reform actions, and when the economy improves, people's lives will improve, and their demands will be met. In the same way, I am helping you, and as long as the people's demands are met, your regime will survive. ”

Lin Youde felt that he was playing more and more smoothly with retreat, and it seemed as if he had given in and given up the demand for annexation of Austria, but in fact, Prime Minister Berchtodd was right just now, after a country's currency issuance power is controlled by others, sovereignty is in a precarious state.

It is true that the top leader of Germany's currency issuing agency is Lin Youde, but the foreign exchange and investment banks themselves still have the German brand, and the parliament also has a certain degree of supervision. As soon as Austria-Hungary allowed the paper mark to be circulated publicly, it was tantamount to giving its currency entirely to a foreign country.

At that time, Germany's economic penetration will be pervasive, and within a few years the country will become a vassal of Germany, a backyard. Coupled with the fact that the two countries have the same language and the same species, sooner or later they will still have to be annexed.

At the same time that Lin Youde's wishful thinking was shaking the sky, the officials of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were also making eye contact, and finally, Prime Minister Bechtodd said on behalf of everyone: "Your Excellency, Special Envoy, we need a little time to discuss your proposal, plus you have come from afar, I think this is the end of today, right?" ”

"Okay," Lin Youde readily agreed, "It's not too early, I booked a VIP seat for tonight's concert, and after having a meal and getting ready, it's time to go." ”

As he spoke, Lin Youde stood up.

Ferdinand also stood up at the same time, and the emperor stretched out his hand to Lin Youde: "I wish you a pleasant evening, to be honest, I also wish I could go to a concert, I haven't enjoyed the beauty of music for a long time." ”

"You're going to get your chance." Lin Youde held the emperor's hand and responded with a smile, "Then I'll retire first." ”

After letting go of the emperor's hand, Lin Youde left the stool, took two steps back and bowed to the emperor, and then left the conference room.

**

As soon as Lin Youde left on the front foot, Sissi said: "That Chinese still wants to annex Austria, and we can't be deceived by his superficial words." ”

"But," said the Archduke of Bohemia, who had not spoken, looked at Sissi, "and he was telling the truth, for in the province of Bohemia, where the vast majority of the inhabitants held paper marks, and the use of paper marks to pay bills in transactions was also popular, and the status of the crown was indeed declining. ”

"It is clear which is more popular than the krona, which has been depreciating since June last year." Another nobleman shook his head, "I personally welcome the fact that I can exchange all the krona I have deposited with the Vienna State Bank for the same amount in marks." ”

After this man finished speaking, many nobles echoed each other, but among the nobles at the rank of Grand Duke, only the Grand Duke of Bohemia showed an expression of approval.

As soon as Sissi wanted to say something, Archduke Ferdinand said in a cold voice: "Aren't you all here who have devalued the krona what it is now?" ”

The emperor's words made the whole room quiet, and those marquis all made straight faces, for fear of angering the emperor.

At this time, Bechtodd said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the use of paper marks is only the first step in what he calls reform, and you have all heard that his aim is to satisfy the demands of the peasants and workers, and if their demands are met......"

Bechtodd didn't go on.

Sissi watched all this with cold eyes.

Outside Schönbrunn Palace, Lin Youde just got into the car and asked the fox: "Do you have a magic guide communication device with you?" ”

"Boom!" The fox uttered onomatopoeia as he pulled out the small magic equipment from his chest, "Take it with you!" How to use it? ”

Although the fox was carrying a small version of the magic telecompeter, with the ability of the goddess, it was still possible to send secret telegrams to the listening posts on the German-Austrian border.

"Inform Hybert and keep pressing." Lin Youde said and looked at the driver in front of him, he knew very well that this Austro-Hungarian driver was tasked with monitoring his movements, but Lin Youde had already planned to let the other party know that this was his own pressure.

There will be some more radical actions in the future, but as long as Austria-Hungary can't catch the handle, they can only stare at Lin Youde knowing that these are what Lin Youde did.

The fox deliberately delayed his voice in response to Lin Youde, and then began to fiddle with the magic communicator while humming a small song.

In the early hours of the next day, four Junkers 1 transport planes appeared over the mountains of northern Austria.

A night flight over the Alps is a feat that only the bravest and most skilled lads of the Lufthansa team can do.

In the cabin of the pilot aircraft, the pilot bows his head to confirm the time.

"At six o'clock, the indication sign should have been lit on the ground, and all crew members should pay attention to it." The squadron commander radioed the planes, "It's a big cross, and now that the visibility is so good, it should be easy to confirm." ”

Before he finished speaking, the young man in the co-pilot seat who was looking at the ground with a telescope reported in a loud voice: "I see it, a cross made of fire!" Eleven o'clock direction! ”

"Very well, pay attention, let's turn upwind and approach."

After saying that, the squadron commander patted the door between the cockpit and the cabin, and immediately Oz? Scholes' scarred face appeared in the cockpit: "Are we there?" ”

"Ready to airdrop in five minutes."

"Understood."

Scholes immediately returned to the cabin, where the original horizontal row of seats had been removed and replaced with benches against the walls of the plane, filled with heavily armed Task Force 141 members.

None of the team members wore military uniforms, and everyone was dressed differently, which made the entire cabin permeate a strange atmosphere.

"Don't be nervous," Scholes said with a grinning smile to his players, but his smile was horribly hideous and had no comforting effect at all, "just like he usually trains." The landing field was even a little longer than the one we had in training, but a little bit rougher. If you find yourself incapacitated due to a broken leg after landing, please wait for the local organization to receive you. Anyone who didn't have a broken leg came to me right away. Well, all stand up and check the equipment at the last time! ”

The task force immediately stood up, checked each other's umbrellas, and began to report on the situation from start to finish.

At this time, a shout came from the direction of the cockpit: "One minute!" ”

Scholes nodded to the team guarding the door, and the door opened, and the Austrian night breeze immediately poured into the cabin.

"It's time to jump!" The pilot's voice came from the cockpit again.

Scholes gave a thumbs up to the players: "See you on the ground!" ”

Then he jumped out of the cabin first.
