Chapter 381: Looking Back at 1986 Again
Su Su sighed: "When the credit of Shandong currency is established, there is actually no suspense in this currency war. On the one hand, it is an emerging regime supported by the broad masses of the people in the Shandong base area, and on the other hand, it is a Japanese puppet occupied area where the people are not able to make a living and become corrupt. The profiteers and puppet soldiers in the occupied areas want to get rich, and the common people also want to eat. ”
"So the steps of the currency war are as follows: very simple, cancel all the second-way traffickers and scalpers, all intersections have children's league members to watch and check the road, salt and peanut oil are all included in the monopoly of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the purchase of these materials must use Shandong currency, and the use of legal tender silver dollars is prohibited, what is this? Does Brother Qiang feel familiar? ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "Supply and marketing cooperatives? ”
Su Su smiled: "International Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, written OPEC, pronounced OPEC!" ”
Wang Qiang: "OPEC, OPEC, I've heard of it!" ”
Su Su smiled: "That's the thing, the Turks are the land, but in fact, they are very avant-garde, and they played decades earlier than OPEC." And in 1973, when the dollar abandoned the gold standard and began to peg to oil, countless economists regarded this move as the greatest feat in the history of currency, but as early as 40 years ago, the Turkish Communist Party was already pegging currency to oil, and peanut oil is also oil, isn't it? ”
Wang Qiang was really shocked: "It's really avant-garde!" That is to say, if you want to get salt and peanut oil, you have to exchange steel and medicine for Shandong currency? And then bought oil with Shandong coins? ”
Su Su smiled: "Yes! It's not just steel medicine, it's a good thing, and those who come don't refuse, anyway, it's for Shandong currency, and the money printing machine brushes the seigniorage tax. Anyway, people can live without high technology, but they don't have oil and salt to eat...... I guess prehistoric humans couldn't bear it, right? ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "Why do you want to change it?" The Japanese puppet army directly pressed the border to rob it? ”
Su Su laughed: "Brother Qiang, do you really think that the Eighth Road is the enemy advancing and I retreating?" In fact, there is still a large area of territory on the Tuba Road that the Japanese can't take, and even the reorganized 74th Division, which has all the U.S. weapons and equipment of the national army behind it, can't take it. So this is the premise for a currency war, that is, it can't be taken down by direct force, or it is too wasteful to take it down. ”
Wang Qiang sighed: "It's really a very simple truth. ”
Su Su sighed: "The next thing is really simple, the Japanese puppet trade sanctions on the base area have completely collapsed, and the high-tech products that were originally prohibited from being exported to the base area have entered the base area from the occupied area in a steady stream, and these merchants are the wall grass that cooperated with the Japanese puppet to sweep the goods last time." Even if the Japanese puppets increased their patrol and search, they just collected some money and opened their eyes and let them go, after all, not all puppet soldiers are hardcore traitors, and there are still puppet soldiers who want to consider leaving a way back......"
"Then the credit of Shandong currency is getting stronger and stronger, and it began to circulate in the occupied areas around the Shandong base area, and the occupied areas from civilians to merchants have sold excess materials to the base area for Shandong currency reserves, and the Shandong base area has also developed from this, and in 1947, after the Japanese surrender, Shandong has become the most prosperous and rich area of the Turkish Communist Party, if the political center of the Turkish Communist Party is in northern Shaanxi, then the economic center is Shandong!"
Wang Qiang frowned: "Wait, what is 1947 after the Japanese puppet surrender?" It's clearly 1945, okay! ”
Su Su smiled in surprise: "I'm sorry, the context is ambiguous." Because in 1947, a major event happened here in Shandong, that is, as I just said, all the American weapons and equipment of the national army were reorganized into the 74th Division, which went straight to Shandong, and then became a transport brigade in Menglianggu! This battle is super famous in the history of the Turkish Communist Party, and it can be regarded as a practice with the weakened version of the US military in advance before the Korean War. ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "It turns out that this battle is the national army coming to rob the economic center of the Turkish Communist Party?" ”
Su Su smiled: "Exactly! In 1947, the internationalization of Song Ziwen's fiat currency failed just now, and in the face of high inflation, he chose to sell gold to buy a whole basket of fiat currency in accordance with the principles of Western economics, trying to return the currency to stabilize prices. But gold, the king of money, is not good in the face of Chinese characteristics. ”
Wang Qiang scoffed: "It's better to open a warehouse and release grain, the four major families definitely have grain, right?" ”
Su Su said with a smile: "In short, the economy of the Nationalist Government has collapsed, and there is no way to make a full-scale war with the Turkish Communist Party." But Lao Jiang still has hundreds of millions of US aid in his hands, that is, the ace 74th Division, Lao Jiang actually has several goals, and northern Shaanxi must be counted as one. Then Lin Shuai in the northeast had the strongest army, and he also received a lot of weapons and heavy industry factories surrendered by Japan, which is counted as one; Then Nie Shuai in North China posed too much threat to Beiping and Tianjin, the political and economic center of the North, and counted one; Then there was Liu Shuai of Dabie Mountain, who posed the greatest threat to Nanjing and Shanghai of the Nationalist Government, and should have borne the brunt...... But in the end, Lao Jiang decided to wave his army and didn't seem to have much strategic position in Shandong, which really made 10,000 grass and mud horses gallop back and forth in the heart of General Su of Shandong! ”
Wang Qiang laughed: "Just to grab money?" ”
Su Su smiled: "Brother Qiang shouldn't know that the Shandong coins of this period have entered Shanghai, and they have begun to collect seigniorage under the nose of Lao Jiang, if an enemy country uses pieces of paper to exchange things for Brother Qiang's economic center, can Brother Qiang bear it?" ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "Of course I can't bear to exchange pieces of paper for things!" If you change to my brother, I will be the first to kill Ya! ”
Su Su smiled: "That's what happened later. So, as long as you control key strategic goods, you can make your currency a trade settlement currency, and further become a mainstream reserve currency, even the enemy's territory can be mobilized. This is the currency war. ”
Wang Qiang said with emotion: "I understand a lot, the Turkish Communist Party is really low-key and has connotation." ”
Su Su smiled: "Then congratulations to Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang graduated from the second grade of Economics Primary School in the first semester." ”
Wang Qiang couldn't cry or laugh: "This is graduation?" ”
Su Su nodded: "Actually, didn't Brother Qiang ask what happened in 2008 at the beginning?" I wanted Brother Qiang to understand, so I made such a big detour to let Brother Qiang graduate in the first semester of the second grade of elementary school. So strike while the iron is hot and take a refresher course - as I just said, the premise of a currency war is that force cannot be taken down, or it is inconvenient to waste force, so how should the United States deal with China? ”
Wang Qiang was surprised: "Want a currency war? ”
Su Su said in a deep voice: "That's right. The reason why the United States came to power was that the two world wars provoked Germany to take the former hegemon Britain, and Britain won the war twice, but the benefits did not decline at all, and the sun never set turned into a small Britain, and finally the United States was fulfilled. But after World War II, the United States swelled, personally went into battle to fight North Korea and Vietnam, especially the 20-year Vietnam War, directly collapsed its own economy, and relied on the subtle tricks of petrodollars to resurrect with full blood, think about it or have palpitations, so the United States after the Vietnam War summed up the lesson, not easy to fight around the big powers, so they invented a new way to play the ship - currency, oh no, a higher-end financial war! ”
Wang Qiang frowned: "The United States is hanging like this, does China know?" ”
Su Su smiled: "China can't ask for it!" Isn't the so-called new game of ship play in the United States just the remnants of Guan Zhong's play more than 2,000 years ago? With China's military, technology, and economy at that time, if it really fought with the United States, it would be tragic. Therefore, since it is more inconvenient for China to use force against the United States, it is as he wishes - so China's situation began to be laid out in 1986 during the "golden 10-year period of Sino-US friendship against the Soviet Union", that is, from 1986 to apply to join the US-led WTO, which is also known as TO, it took 15 years until 2002 to join the ......"
