Revised Edition, Volume 18, The End of the World, Chapter 4, Currency Fraud

Jiang Xu's negotiations with the Wood Elves went smoothly, and in less than a month, he formed an alliance with the eighteen Wood Elf tribes on Nagano Island, and stationed the soldiers of the First Army all over the island, officially occupying the place, forming a semi-encirclement of the central continent of Masco, where Feria was located. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLike most primitive peoples, the terms of loss of power and humiliation under the pressure of powerful external forces were easily achieved, not to mention that we also gave many preferential terms, not only writing blank checks for the partition of the country after the conquest of Feria, but also paying conscription money on the spot - although the elven civilization was still relatively primitive, it had reached the level of bartering with precious metals or ores. It's more convenient for us than anything else.

Samsung is rich in precious metals such as platinum, gold, and silver. At first, it was monopolized by the Space Administration and the Samsung General Administration, and the production and sales volume were not high, and it was so-so that he could make a few dollars to make up for the shortfall. After I got the power, I fully opened up production, but the main planet circulated paper money and online bank cash flow, and as early as a thousand years ago, metal coins were not used as the main currency, but only made some worthless broken steel plates to deal with vending machines. And it is a joke to sell gold and silver ingots directly, who will buy so much? A few clicks can bring down the precious metals trading market! Han Han thought of a way to use the precious metal to press the commemorative coins into various names with patterns and shapes to the main star to cheat money. At first, it was quite a bit of money to sell the concept of "star stocks" and take advantage of people's patriotism, but because the production and sales were so high that they were dumped, it didn't take long for the precious metal commemorative coin market of the main star to be shattered, and in the past two years, most places have begun to openly or covertly refuse to trade three-star commemorative coins - although their own value is indeed very high. The huge amount of commemorative coins piled up in our warehouses that are not marketable are being voted for by these primitive races, which is really an unexpected big gain.

From the secular perspective of modern society (including the Taiyan and Wuji Army in the Heavenly Realm), it is really impossible to understand the rationality of a gold coin that is not as valuable as an ordinary thief bicycle can levy a high-level creature with intelligence and speech to serve as a soldier. If they knew that Jiang Xu had only used two hundred platinum coins and ten thousand gold coins to buy the ten thousand wood elf warriors of the Yuyue clan who had first come into contact with him, they would have smuggled here en masse to sell human beings in a frenzy. At this point, I finally began to appreciate the pleasure of the rule-makers: in the case of Samsung, the difference between the mining and manufacturing costs of platinum, gold, and silver coins was no more than 150%, but the ratio we had set for them to exchange with each other was 100 to 1, and silver coins had quickly become the most widely circulated currency among the wood elves of Nagano Island, and once in a while, anyone who could come up with a gold coin would be jealous of the rest. If prices were always fixed now, and there would be no change in the total amount of money I put in, I could just open a few chests of platinum coins in the hold and buy all of Nebuchu's legged creatures; If I had to use a fleet to bring money from Samsung, they would have to sell me the entire planet and make deliveries.

Thinking about this cheap thing, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Power is a good thing, especially to the point where it is powerful enough to set the rules for the operation of the world. What's wrong with Chen Qi being angry with me? If it's a three-star time, she has to work hard for half a day and swear sweetly, gambling and swearing, just like that, she has to prevent her from running away when she encounters something unpleasant from time to time. And now? Some time ago, she was so unhappy, and after receiving a few elves from Jiang Xu, she ran back happily. Since she went to the third star, the original appearance of the Beidu mansion door is no longer there. Even when I lived with me in the shogunate's military residence, I was deeply poisoned by modern human rights doctrine, and I asked a few maids and orderlies to help me with the work, but I did not send them to serve Chen Qi and me as masters. Now that Jiang Xu has sent these beautiful and diligent long-term workers, he is really too understanding, and he is happy to serve Chen Qi, and I will be happy with the general-so it is not all bad things, and it is still very satisfying to cultivate to the level that Jiang Xu can both do things and shoot horses.

Just as I was proud, Chen Qi came over and mixed me with tea, and asked casually, "What are you happy about?" ”

I told her about the ambition that I had just thought of to buy Nebuchu and bring it back to the exhibition, which made her laugh out loud. After laughing for a while, he said: "It's just a stock market, and it's not so exaggerated." ”

"Of course, prices will go up, and the release of these currencies will have to be calculated with extra precision. But don't worry, Han Han has already marched to this side with the second batch of reinforcements. It is okay to suspend the money supply now, and we cannot raise prices to an uncontrollable level before the cold comes. Ordinary soldiers can also be paid in these currencies. Well, it's really good to imagine that all of a sudden the problem of military spending was solved air-to-air. However, these things are too complicated to implement, and we will discuss them when the cold comes. But Xiao Chen, we are developed, this is true, not false at all. ”

"Feel free to coax, there's always an end, right?" Chen Qi questioned: "The credibility of what you say is too low, and you look like a big liar when you hear it." ”

I sighed disappreciatively: "Ahem, Xiao Chen, when you were still learning to tie your shoes in the aristocratic girls' school, we developed a fifth-level offline in Nanshan to sell seal oil and swing machines, what is this little thing!" ”

On 16 September, some of the advance personnel of the second group of reinforcements had arrived on the mainland of Verle, including Basque ice and cold. Han Han has already given birth to a boy, and Basque Bing is very proud of this, carrying a stack of photos with him, and blowing it when he sees someone. I tugged him to look at the pictures, but I didn't have time to say hello to the other visitors. Seeing him so proud, Han Han couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Is it just you?" Proud of that! ”

I smiled and said, "Haha, Ah Bing'er and I have been friends for many years, of course I understand his feelings, congratulations." ”

Han Han smiled slightly and asked, "What about you, don't you think about it?" ”

I shook my hand and said, "Ahaha, we still have so many important business to discuss, when will we have the opportunity to talk about these inconsequential and vulgar matters again." ”

The advance party had arrived, and the army behind was approaching. The first thing Han Han suggested to me was not to "accumulate food and slow down the king", but to hold a grand party to welcome reinforcements and celebrate two great victories, which was said to have a great morale-boosting effect, and also facilitated the intimate exchange between me, who had already made great achievements in the first step, and His Excellency Overmars, who arrived one step later. I've always been unfamiliar with parties, but it's necessary to be friendly with Overmars, and I can't just start up fighting in Nebuchu right now. So I said to Han Han according to the old rules, "Then, I will leave this matter to you." ”

Han Han nodded, and asked again: "How to make decisions about the rear economy?" Titus's opinion is that it can't be delayed any longer, I came from the rear, and I can see very clearly that the military management has probably reached its limit, and now it has begun to consume the production of the base. ”

"I am not alone in the ...... of military management needs," I protested weakly, closed my eyes and thought for a while, and said: "I also considered it before you came, so with the preparation of building a and B elite soldiers, I can reduce a lot of costs in the transportation of soldiers." Many wood elves have been recruited as soldiers here, and Jiang Xu is training them. However, the combat quality of these guys is really poor enough, and they don't know what it is like to face the strong army of Feria. In this way, it is agreed that Tan Kang and Titus will choose 1/3 of the areas under their respective jurisdictions as pilot projects to restore economic vitality and abolish military control. However, this plan will be submitted to the global parliament at the same time, and the reduction in output value will also be shared by me and Overmars, so there is no reason for him to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our savings. ”

"Something is better than nothing." Han Han turned the pen in his hand and sighed, "The rear is changing too fast. Two and a half years have passed since you set out on the main planet, and my children are one year old. But how long will it take to fight here? Three years, five years? Do you think the rear can continue to starve and feed us for more than ten years? ”

I nodded and said, "I know, I understand." A lot of things in the rear are passing too fast, and in addition to time, there are also people's hearts. However, we only need to be concerned about how to fight the battle of Nebuchu now. ”

"As long as we win, there will be a new world, right?" Han Han looked at the ceiling a little distractedly, and suddenly laughed: "What kind of new world will it be, will you be the emperor?" ”

"If this counts as 'persuasion,' you're already one step behind the little whore." I smiled and shook my head, "You don't have to think about it that long. ”

At this moment, the orderly hurriedly came to knock on the door and delivered an urgent document. When I opened it, my face froze: the report said that a million Romans had rebelled in the Adams mines, and that the rebels had invaded Adams proper. The strength of the Samsung Guard was really insufficient, so Tan Kang sent a note in the name of the Global Parliament, requesting that Yang Husheng's troops, which were still halfway out, be transferred back to Samsung to quell the rebellion. This note was sent to Simba, commander-in-chief of the Nebuchu Front, and two shoguns. Simba and Overmars, who were on the march, had already signed their consent. In that case, there is no need for me to get in the way. After signing the electronic seal as usual, it was forwarded back.

Little did I know at this time that the rebellion at the Adams Mines was not as trivial as the report suggested.

By mid-October, Ovimas and Simba's reinforcements had arrived at Nippelson Gate, and Dai Jiangnan personally led his small fleet to meet them. He was very pleased with the results: more than eighty warships lost in the battle were replenished, and two additional battleships were added, so that his fleet was still the strongest independent fleet in the human universe. However, at this time, except for Dai Jiangnan, probably no one could laugh: Yang Husheng arrived at Samsung the week before, and immediately sent a report that "the thief army is strong".

Yang Husheng has 30,000 troops under his command and a fleet of planetary guards to carry them. But after dismantling most of the weapons for the transport of troops, the combat effectiveness of that guard fleet was very pitiful. According to Yang Husheng's description, Adams has been completely occupied by the thief army, numbering at least 300,000 people, and the other outcasts are obviously providing them with logistics services, and they can be converted into military power at any time. It is a pity that the palatial Caesar's Palace has become a place for them to go wild and carnival. It wouldn't be too much of a problem if it was just a luxury hotel being destroyed, but there was also a starship building plant on Adams, and it was clearly in full swing right now. Although it is impossible to have enough materials to create a fake and shoddy version of the modern class, there are many university professors, cosmology experts and skilled workers among the more than one million exiled Romans, and it is not impossible to master the modern assembly line and build some frigates to harass the three stars or even the main star. The goal of these rebels was not to capture Adams and die of addiction, but obviously more far-sighted.

Although Yang Husheng's troops are not small, in the face of such a powerful thief army, it is obviously not enough to solve the problem in a more peaceful and bloodless way. Moreover, there are many virgins on the ground who sympathize with these "poor people who have been innocently exiled and framed in the abyss of a foreign land", and they do not even think about mass destruction operations such as throwing heavily armed troops down to harvest their heads or dropping nuclear bombs cleanly -- the main planet has been under the control of the military for many years, and the public resentment is already boiling, and the anger that has accumulated for a long time is looking for a breakthrough, and the government army cannot use its actions to justify those with ulterior motives. Yang Husheng had no choice but to use Lei Longdo as his base camp and sent a division to guard Alpha to prevent the rebels from swelling too much, and asked for more armament for his planetary guard fleet. These are all headaches, and I can't make a sudden decision on my own, so I'd wait until Overmars and Simba arrive. But we dragged on here for ten days, and the sheep had to endure for a month in the palm of his hand, which was probably enough for him.

After Han Han learned the news, he sighed leisurely: "Unexpected, and expected." ”

"I understand what you mean, but in this case, the combat policy at the front will be changed again." I finished a cigarette and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to do it even more with the help of the natives." I don't know how well Jiang Xu trained those guys who smeared oil on the soles of their feet when they heard the gunshots, I have to go over and see for myself. ”

"Do you need to prepare?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's just an official visit, I'll come back when I go and see it, and I'll have to go to the welcome party." In addition, Overmars is coming soon, you inform Chen Qi that it's okay not to come out and wander around, it's always bad to bump into too many people in person. It's hard for me to say that, only you can say it. (To be continued.) )
