The monkey master hangs here every day, because Nephilim is not around, so he needs to collect the ingredients himself to cook.

So in this place, when everyone is busy, you will often see an idler walking slowly on the country road with all kinds of things, humming a song in his mouth, and his face is full of leisure.

Except for a very few people, no one knows who he really is, anyway, in the eyes of most people, he is an eyesore little white face, although he is a consultant, he does nothing, does not interfere in anything, and his daily pleasure is cooking, reading, and basking in the sun.

Spring is in such a wasted time, and it is officially coming. And with the arrival of spring is an unprecedented economic crisis.

Almost overnight, the banking industry in the United States collapsed, there was a run on the road, the prices of grain and daily necessities soared, a large number of industrial workers lost their jobs, and the government began to implement food and drug control, curfews, and military control policies.

Just after winter, famine followed.

It was the beginning of the implementation of the dual currency system of the gold standard and the grain standard that the dividing point of history was finally born, and it came to life without any warning.

Because of the food shortage, the whole of America began to fall into turmoil, the reserve grain had to be saved before the arrival of summer, the winemaking and animal husbandry almost came to a standstill, even the Blade Dance was severely affected, the organization's funds were reduced to a terrible degree, even all agents were no longer allowed to drive out to solve cases, and the food changed from a hearty lunch to a thin and coarse food that was enough to satisfy the stomach.

"Sure enough, you said it." Imola sat worriedly in front of the monkey master, eating fried chicken that she hadn't eaten for a long time, while calculating with a notebook: "The role of conventional money has degraded, and now everything is exchanged for grain, and milk, eggs, wheat, and flour have become currency. ”

"It's normal, humans originally used these things as currency, they are more reliable than money." The monkey master brought out the freshly made soup from the kitchen: "For a long time to come, these will be used as the main circulating currency. ”

"But like you said, it's weird, somebody's hitting our financial system?"

The child is not stupid, a little bit is thorough. There must have been someone in this matter...... No, this kind of thing is almost impossible for one person to do, this must be done by some economy hidden in the shadows, as for the intention, the monkey master does not think that they want money, but to make the social environment chaotic.

After the financial collapse, although the government imposed martial law, because unemployment reached a terrible level of 32 percent, the crime rate soared to 300 percent, the whole country was in a state of turmoil, shops were looted, the estates of the rich were detailed, terrorist activities against other races intensified, the police went on strike because they could not pay their salaries, and even a large part of the agents of Blade Dance were on vacation.

It can be said that after the economic blow, for the state of a country, it is far more direct than the armed strike, although it has not yet reached the state of changing children and eating them, but the panic of the people has undoubtedly spread to all corners.

In this case, no one will care if there are a few more weird people in a corner, let alone pay attention to who and who suddenly died somewhere, because living in this environment, everyone is an ant, living for the sake of living, and the ant will not pay attention to the birth, old age, sickness and death of another ant.

Although Blade Dance has discovered all kinds of things, it is suffering from a lack of manpower, so it can only be selectively ignored, and the police are even more unreliable, most of them are hungry on vacation.

A dozen A-class agents and Teresa are busy every day, but in fact, there are too few problems they can solve, no matter how powerful these dozen people are, it is actually a drop in the bucket, and most of the human resources are idle, this helpless emotion has already melted into the inside of Blade Dance.

It's been a few days since Imola has been seen, and today she finally had a day off, so naturally she ran to the monkey master to eat. I have to say that Master Monkey is not only in her eyes, but also in the eyes of the entire Blade Dance, a person with a great sense of life, and in the case of a shortage of materials to this extent, he can actually find many delicacies in various ways.

For example, the voles in the pasture and the grass that don't look good, but the smell coming from his kitchen is so real, but the good thing is that everyone knows that he will try his best to find food every day, otherwise someone will definitely say that he eats human flesh.

Teresa, who was still counting on him to help, seemed very helpless, in her imagination, the monkey master would definitely be able to reverse the current predicament of the Blade Dance with the power of one person, but this did not happen, except for the old bastard who was here to eat and wait for death, I am afraid that the rest is left to guard the house, after all, there is such a person guarding the house, and the safety factor is not one or two points.

"If you read today's newspaper, inflation has reached 2,000 percent, and if it goes on like this, it will enter anarchy."

During the meal, the monkey man chatted with Imola about the current situation, in just two days, inflation has reached an almost irreversible point, 45% of the government institutions are closed, the army has begun to assemble in patches, factories and farms have begun to stop production in large areas, and shops are closed. Hungry people can barely survive on daily food supply trucks, but if nothing else, this kind of food and clothing will become a luxury after a week.

"What to do...... It's really helpless, we obviously have enough force, but it doesn't help this state at all, if it weren't for the fact that we have always had doomsday reserves, I'm afraid even we would start to go hungry now. ”

Imola leaned back in her chair, her face worried: "What should I do......

The monkey didn't answer her, the people of this era don't have a deep enough understanding of the currency war, and many theories are too advanced for them, but the reason why the war can be called a war is enough to show its complexity and cruelty, whether it is a war on the real battlefield or a financial war that can't see the smoke of gunpowder, as long as it breaks out, then for a certain region, it is the same disaster.

However, this artificially provoked financial war made the monkey master very satisfied, he finally saw an organization that is not the kind of organization that keeps sending second-rate killers to constantly challenge the limit, there are no four heavenly kings, three protectors, and left and right evil stars to constantly harass and there is no boring task of destroying the world, some are just financial sniping for a country and a top short-selling team, such an advanced awareness and plan, which makes the monkey feel very surprised and interesting.

According to this rhythm, the next step is the early arrival of World War II, the German devils are also doing things, Japan has also broken out the first nationwide crisis after the Great Kanto Earthquake, Eastern and Western Europe has fallen into a stalemate in the social process to varying degrees, and the East Asian civil war is in full swing. Now it is much worse than the original trajectory of the world, and World War II seems to be inevitable.

At this moment, Blackjack hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in, holding a freshly printed newspaper in his hand, and then turned on the radio as soon as he entered: "The president has declared a national emergency." ”

The monkey master picked up the newspaper and read it, and after looking at it for a while, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Black Jack: "You haven't eaten yet, let's eat some together." ”

A state of emergency means that war is imminent, but is it really okay to fight in such a state? What had been a deflation and credit crisis turned into inflation and a food crisis, and with artificial interference, the war finally came early.

"Why is this happening?"

"War is often a catalyst for social change, and it is the best means of mediation when internal contradictions are irreconcilable." Master Monkey pushed his glasses: "But I always think that someone did it on purpose." ”

"Shadow Council, I've analyzed a lot of data, and I think they are the only ones who can do this, what do they want to do?"

Imola is very smart, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, but in the end he is still too young, he has already said before, the Shadow Council was once an organization that was enough to change the pattern of the world, although it was once, but the emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse, although it is not easy to operate such a big game of chess, but it is definitely not impossible. The Monkey Master believes that if he wants, he can also use the influence and financial resources of Tacheng to launch a world war and financial war on Earth.

And if he is asked to guess what the Shadow Council wants to do, it is really not difficult at all, it is nothing more than shuffling the cards, making the power and resources in his hands richer, and further expanding his influence.

This is obviously different from the Blade Dance, which is all muscles and does not have a brain.

"I'm going to intervene." The monkey master suddenly raised his head: "Prepare materials for me." ”

"Intervene in what? War? ”

"I'm going to investigate the Shadow Council." The monkey man raised his head, the lenses just reflected the sunlight outside the window, and he looked serious: "I thought about it just now, their methods are definitely not available in this era, they are too advanced, I think there should be someone I want to find inside." ”

Yes, this series of means is definitely not naturally generated in this era, first of all, this means of destroying the financial system is obviously the same as the giant crocodiles sixty or seventy years later, and secondly, the timing and pertinence of provoking the war are too suspicious, as if it was completely deliberate, deliberately dragging the whole world into the abyss.

War is uncertain, although it is said that modern warfare is about the industrial base and logistical supply, but it is so targeted, it seems that the means of knowing the hole cards have to make people suspicious.

"After eating, call Teresa to me."

"Got it."

Calling Teresa to him is an absolute shock to other people's ears, because even President Hoover needs to make an appointment in advance and invite her in beautiful writing, but the monkey is like the head teacher calling the naughtiest student in the class to come to the office, which is really quite good.

Although the monkey master was very unreasonable, Teresa actually came here soon after being summoned, and she was accompanied by the four analysts in the Dance of Blades and a large number of reference books and materials.

After the monkey master saw these people, he glanced at Teresa again: "Women really don't be too smart. ”

"What's so bad about that?"

When the monkey master began to teach them on the makeshift blackboard, Neferen's side was so sweet that it was not good, in stark contrast to the boring monkey master, as a powerful person, he was wearing an apron and picking up new recipes in the kitchen.

"Little sister, why did you say that you didn't get married at such an old age."

Since knowing that the young lady is thirty years old, Nephilian has been very concerned about this problem, in this era, there are really few people who have not been in love at the age of thirty, although in the eyes of outsiders, the person in front of him is the terrifying Princess Blade, but in front of him, the Princess Blade is just a little beauty with a good look and a good figure.

"I, ah, when I was younger, I was too focused on strength, and over time I became the fierce dog with a fierce dog inside." Isha, who was making a salad, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "What about you?" You're strong and cute, how can you not have a girlfriend? ”

Girlfriend...... This is an eternal pain in Nephiten's heart, there is only one girl he has chased in his life, and he is particularly unsuccessful. Why? Because it's a woman who is a fish dragon, and she is also a woman who was beaten by him to another dimension to go to the fish dragon.

The great power of the man took a step on this hurdle, which made Nephilim very ashamed to bring up the past, so when Isha asked, he seemed very evasive.

"Look at me, my work is not good, I am not paid and I always work overtime, and the key is that I often travel on business, and I am not at home for three days. The pressure is great, I have begun to lose my hair at a young age, I don't have much experience in eating, drinking and having fun, I make tea with wolfberries early, where can I have a girlfriend like this, do you think I'm the boring guy? I'm very busy at work. ”

"Boring guy...... Is that one amazing? Moreover, I also lost my hair. ”

"Well, it's him. He has a lot of girlfriends, so I can't, I don't like girls. Nephilim looked back at Isha and then reached out and grabbed a tuft of her hair, "You're not losing your hair, you're changing your hair in the spring." ”

Isha shook her head, flicked her hair out of Nephiten's hand, and looked up at him, "Will you go?" ”

"Of course I go, it's not my home." Nephilian stretched: "I still have a sister at home, and she still expects me to provide for her." ”

"That'...... I...... I know. ”

Nephilim looked at Princess Blade, who didn't look like Princess Blade at all, and patted her on the head, but turned around without saying a word. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, but there is a saying that the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, what is the heavenly machine? Everything these powerful people say is a heavenly opportunity.

"Don't overthink it." Quickly stir-frying the dishes in the pot: "By the way, I'll take you to the East tomorrow." ”

"Oriental? Why? ”

"Because your brother might be over there."
