"Let's get down to business."

In addition to Lao Jiang and his wife and Kong Xiangxi, there were also Chen Bui, Chen Guofu, and Chen Lifu brothers, Zhang Qun, chairman of Sichuan Province and vice president of the Executive Yuan, Wang Chonghui, minister of foreign affairs, Yu Hongjun, minister of finance, and Wang Shijie, director of the Military Counselor's Office, Lao Chiang's most important staff group.

In other words, except for Lao Jiang and Qin Wei, who have military positions, and Wang Shijie can also get involved with the military, the rest are all senior officials in government affairs or party affairs. And Wang Shijie is just a staff member, Lao Jiang is the top leader of the country, what is Qin Wei? A general, but he can put his hand into the party and government circles...... You must know that even a big man like He Yingqin does not dare to casually touch power into the scope of the "government". When Jiang Dingwen, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, reported to him about the famine in Henan, he didn't dare to say anything, he could only say that he would wait for the government's report...... But now Qin Wei and Lao Jiang are sitting together with these "masters" in the party and government circles, what does this mean?

It's a pity that Qin Wei doesn't seem to be aware of this.

"As I said earlier, the Americans will certainly not take the bait easily. But they can't ignore the lure of China's huge market...... Back then, Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Germany, Italy, and Japan, how many powers wanted to get a piece of the Chinese market? But now the Chinese market is basically only Japan. Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders, "In the eyes of our Americans now, it's a big fat meat that keeps bubbling out of oil." Even if they see it clearly and understand our intentions, they will definitely try it. But as long as they have this heart, they must speak for China in the Allies. ”

"What does Chief Qin mean, what do we need to do?" Kong Xiangxi was extremely frustrated now, and Zhang Qun was excited to see it next to him...... He now hopes that Lao Kong will resign directly because of excessive frustration. As a result, Soong Ziwen, the most competitive one, is now in Washington negotiating with the Yankees and the British. I can't leave for a while, and I have always been disliked by Lao Jiang, but he is a close confidant of Lao Jiang...... At that time, as the vice president of the Executive Yuan, he will inevitably become the most powerful contender for the Executive Yuan. Thinking of this, his attitude towards Qin Wei, the most important "person responsible" for the current situation, is naturally much better than others. What's more, he, the chairman of Sichuan Province, in a sense, was only able to get it with Qin Wei's help. If Qin Wei hadn't managed to "send away" the warlords in Sichuan, how could those guys agree to let him take charge of the Sichuan provincial government?

In addition to negotiating with Soong Ziwen and Yan Huiqing in Washington, the Americans will definitely send people to Chongqing. Therefore, the Executive Yuan must cooperate with our plan at that time, and at the same time be neither humble nor arrogant, but also keep seducing the Americans. Make them want to stop. Qin Wei said.

"The Americans will definitely put forward their own conditions, so should we agree to them?" Yu Hongjun is also one of the giants of the Executive Yuan, and he couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Specific conditions, specific consideration. But I think we can make fiat completely pegged to the dollar. Qin Wei replied.

"Chief Qin," Yu Hongjun smiled. "Since the 25th year of the Republic of China, the fiat currency has been pegged to the pound and the dollar."

"And all these years. In order to cope with the domestic situation. Especially with the Japanese aggression, the government adopted a policy of inflation, and the fiat currency depreciated sharply. On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the total amount of fiat currency issued was only a little more than 1.4 billion, but now, the amount of fiat currency issued has exceeded 100 billion. So whether we want to peg fiat to the dollar or not. Americans can't afford to pay for us. Zhang Qun also followed suit.

"I don't know much about that, but I do know that all the hyperinflation in China since the beginning of this century is actually related to the United States." Qin Wei said in a deep voice. "Decoupling from the US dollar, while its own paper money lacks credit and economic strength to support inflation, is the general path of China's inflation. It's like the deflation seven or eight years ago. It is precisely because the United States passed the Silver Acquisition Act, which authorized the U.S. Treasury to purchase silver in domestic and foreign markets until the price of silver reaches the prescribed price, or the value of silver in the U.S. Treasury's reserves reaches 1/3 of the gold reserves. The U.S. takeover led to a sharp rise in the global price of silver, at a time when we, the largest country on the real silver standard, had to tighten its currency across the board. As a result, our dreams of becoming an export market were shattered, and our period of 'golden development' was shattered by the Americans...... So, neither the gold standard, nor the silver standard, is right now for China, what we need now is the 'dollar standard'! ”

"How could the Americans agree to such conditions? They wanted to use us as their dumping market. Wang Chonghui also joined in and said.

"If it's long enough, they'll agree." Qin Wei said, "Because then the Americans can plunder the wealth that should belong to us in China in an invisible way through the simple way of printing money." This will also be the first step towards 'dollar hegemony'. Roosevelt could not have refused such an temptation, just as he could not have rejected the huge market of China......"

"So, in order to plunder our wealth for a longer period of time in the future, they will surely be willing to suffer a certain amount of losses in the next few years?" Wang Shijie also asked.

"If it were you, would you give up this opportunity?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"But then we'll be at the mercy of others." Lao Jiang had already understood. Plundering other people's wealth by printing money, this kind of thing he has always done, so he is no stranger. However, his character does not allow others to hold his life. He finds it hard to accept the thought that in the future, the United States will only need to turn on the money printing press twice and turn its hard-earned wealth into a pile of waste paper.

"Everything will be rewarded if you give it." Qin Wei said in a deep voice, "I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf!" Americans are much smarter than wolves, and if the bait is not big enough, how can they possibly fall for it? ”

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to trap the wolf, but will trap ourselves." Kong Xiangxi suddenly snorted coldly, "You just said that Americans are good at beggar-thy-neighbor. Since they were able to come up with a "Silver Acquisition Act" seven years ago to interrupt the rapid development of our Chinese economy, they will definitely use your 'dollar standard' to continue to grab China's wealth in the future. …… You have to remember: the advantage of the great powers is not so easy to take advantage of. ”

"The world has just experienced a serious economic crisis, and this crisis has not really passed yet. And one of the big reasons for this world war is this crisis. Qin Wei ignored Kong Xiangxi, "And now the protectionism that prevails in the trade of the world." That is, the mutual restriction of international trade is actually the most important reason for the economic depression in the world today. Therefore, after the end of the war, solving complex international economic problems, especially formulating international trade policies, will become an important task facing all countries after the war. ”

"We are pegged to the US dollar, and even directly use the US dollar as foreign exchange reserves, and the US dollar as the currency of the issued reserves, then, once the international trade order is rebuilt. The Americans will certainly not forget about us? Yu Hongjun is worthy of being a financial expert, and as soon as he heard Qin Wei's words, he immediately realized many things.

"From the level of population and industrial production of the United States, as long as they do not make a big mistake, this war will inevitably have them as the ultimate victors." Qin Weidao. "At the end of this war, Europe will lose its place at the center of the world. In its place, it will inevitably be the United States. Other words. The United States will be the maker of new international trade rules! But the rules also need to be enforced, so the United States must enlist some other countries to play this 'game'! They won because they were the supreme rule-makers. But in the same way, in other countries, whoever can enter this circle one step earlier will be one step ahead of the other country to get more benefits. China has a huge market. But today, most of our market is still a subsistence small-scale peasant economy, and if we want to grow quickly, we have to look outward, and we have an advantage in this area...... So. The sooner we integrate into this circle of international trade, the sooner we will develop. Especially after we got Japan's industrial base! ”

"Japan, Japan...... Let's not talk about whether we can realize this plan, even if we can realize it, since we can attack their homeland earlier and force Japan to surrender, why wait any longer? Kong Xiangxi asked loudly.

"Because if we choose to attack on a large scale at this time, it will be tantamount to sharing the pressure on Britain and the United States, and it will also make Japan put more strength in front of us! At that time, we will also have to suffer even greater and more serious losses. Old Jiang glanced at him, "Therefore, we would rather choose a method with less losses and more time-consuming to complete this war." Moreover, with Britain and the United States sharing the pressure of the Japanese for us, we will have a greater chance of winning. ”

……

"The matter of the oil field makes my eldest sister's family almost white-headed, Qin Wei, you are open-minded, don't worry too much about them, right?"

The meeting just set a tone, and Qin Wei was not an economic expert, just reading from the book. The specific plan still has to be discussed and formulated by Yu Hongjun and others. Therefore, the meeting took about two hours from start to finish. However, after this time, Qin Wei's status in the national government was completely different, and many people, including the Chen brothers, looked at him differently than before. It's a pity that Song Meiling doesn't care about these now, she still thinks about the "field" of her eldest sister's house! Therefore, after the talks, she left Qin Wei alone with Lao Jiang.

"I understand what Madame means." Don't worry too much? Isn't it just that don't want that field, so that it still has the surname "Kong"? Qin Wei had a headache. Again and again, again and again, Song Meiling is already tantamount to cheating. But in the same way, Song Meiling's practice of fighting face and not wanting to put on him is much more pressure than before.

"I know that you understand, but I hope you can put this understanding into action......" Song Meiling blushed a little: "Of course, I also know that this will make you very difficult." So, whatever conditions you have, you can mention. ”

"Any conditions?" Qin Wei asked.

"As long as I can do it." Song Meiling said. While speaking, she glanced at Lao Jiang who was sitting on the side, only to see Lao Jiang pick up the teacup next to her......

"Actually, it's not difficult for me to fail, I hope ...... I was able to donate the Dury oil field! Qin Wei smacked his lips, "Donate to the country!" What do you think? ”

"Okay-" Before Song Meiling could speak, Lao Jiang had already thrown the teacup on the table, "For the country and the people, you Qin Wei is second, and absolutely no one dares to say first!" I agreed! ”

"......" Song Meiling. (To be continued......)
