"Politics is a dull frustrated knife, which he frustrates and slowly achieves its purpose" – Montesquieu (French)

Time passed little by little in the midst of controversy and rush. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will naturally be disputes. So every time you are faced with an important choice, there will always be some people who want it that way, and some people who want it that way. The opinions of the two factions are often far from each other, and the disputes are fierce and abnormal, and it seems that the contradictions between the two factions are irreconcilable at all. What's more, a little spark can trigger a big fight between the two factions.

Often this is the time to test politicians. They must put together two political demands that are 108,000 miles apart, weigh them, compare them, seek common ground while reserving differences, and satisfy the vast majority of people as much as possible. In order to avoid causing greater losses, they abandoned hatred and hostility, put down their bodies, took the initiative to communicate with their mortal enemies in private, communicated openly, and then compromised and regressed again and again, and finally reached a result that satisfied most people.

In the world of politics, every day is playing out such a filth that the Taoist gentlemen are not accustomed to and disdain. But it is precisely because of these filthy blessings that many seemingly irreconcilable contradictions in history were finally alleviated, and then pointless wars were avoided again and again.

After so much tempering, gorgeous politicians are gradually maturing. Although most of them are still young people. At the age of less than thirty or forty years old, he has huge wealth and power, and has an unparalleled right to speak. And drifting away from the life of the past – yes, drifting away. Now, even the most stubborn guy has adapted to life in Wolong Mountain, and he is no longer the grassroots style of the day. Therefore, their way of looking at problems has gradually detached from the perspective of ordinary people.

So in the face of an imminent war, the vivid soldiers become numbers on paper in their eyes. A series of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division numbers, like the bullets produced by the arsenal every day, have become important strategic materials. Other than that, there is no point. They will use these numbers to apply a formula, or simply a simple measurement, to get a preliminary and imprecise estimate, and then start to consider whether the value is worth the benefit compared to the gains.

And in this process, some things have different weights in the eyes of different people. For example, the country, such as the nation...... If you are a young man in his early twenties who is full of enthusiasm, he will definitely regard these two as extremely important, even more important than his own life; on the contrary, as he grows older, these things will slowly fade in the hearts of the once hot-blooded young people. They will gradually be corrupted by this world and become interested creatures like those big country politicians in the other world

The U.S. dollar, or the Chinese dollar, is the currency issued by China and the United States, used for internal use, has not yet been circulated externally, with silver coins and steel rods, as for paper money or something, I thought about it at first, but there are a few young men who know a little about finance in the crowd pointed out that the issuance of banknotes is based on national credit, to put it bluntly, there must be enough solid wealth, such as the Federal Reserve's strategic gold reserves, so as to ensure the issuance of banknotes, otherwise it is easy to lead to inflation, and now Huamei obviously does not have the capital to issue banknotes, so it can only issue metal currency。

However, fortunately, there is no complete financial system on this continent today, and the currencies minted by various countries are very different, and even the fineness, size and weight are very different, and it is impossible to form a circulating financial system, so the currencies are very mixed.

Although there is such a thing as gold coins here, but gold has been a heavy metal since ancient times, whether it is another world or this world, it is impossible to mint too many gold coins, which are generally used by those nobles, and the middle and lower class people cannot afford to use them at all.

Therefore, the main currency in circulation on the mainland is actually only silver coins, copper coins and even iron coins, which is also very convenient for today's Wolong Mountain.

Well, if they want to, they can turn that pool of Tiberium into a blind man's head gold at any time, but unfortunately deep in the heart of the steppe, this thing is not very useful at the moment.

Today's U.S. dollar is divided into two currencies, one is silver coins, the other is steel and hammers, as for copper coins or something - that's too extravagant, because of military reasons, 30% of the copper production of the entire Wolong Mountain is now used to make bullets, and the rest is civilian, so naturally copper coins will not exist.

Silver coins, divided according to the amount, the smallest is a hundred dollars, the above is two hundred dollars, until five hundred dollars, but this is not the main currency in circulation, steel hammers are.

There are one, five, ten, and all the way up to a hundred, just like the financial system of a pseudo-red empire, which is the currency used by the residents of Wolong Mountain.

According to the calculations of a few financial ghosts, it is best for Wolongshan to make contact with mainland countries within three months, so that their internal currencies can be accepted by external circulation, and economic aggression will be carried out first, and then other influences, so that Huamei, a new country, can gain a firm foothold on the mainland.

For a long time, as a traverser, each traverser has some bad tastes that only belong to the traverser. For example, at the beginning, the rifle created was called M1641, and from the appearance of the shape alone, it was indeed M1.

With the passage of time, this kind of bad taste, either out of revenge on the original time and space, or purely for spoofing, is gradually amplified with the development of Wolong Mountain.

For example, the current traversers, in addition to the state-owned production system in Wolong Mountain, more or less have their own private industries.

For example, Zhang Tianchi, this guy set up a dragon servant arms company, hired a group of kobolds as employees, specializing in the production of firearms for export and domestic sales, as well as the exchange of territory for the orc empire.

Front-loading flintlock pistols, Wisworth hexagonal rifles, low-quality grenades, and other 20th-century weapons were sent off the company's production line and then sent to the transport trucks destined for the Imperial City of the Orc Empire to fulfill their promise to the Orc Empire.

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the treaty some time ago.

Ceding the entire southern grassland, the orc empire's high-level leaders thought about it and still refused, but because they coveted the firearms in the hands of the traversal and the need to befriend a powerful neighbor, the group of nobles still gave the territory of a hundred kilometers of Wolong Mountain to the traversers, and the size of the entire territory was about the same as a large county, but for the current traversers, it was enough.

In exchange, a number of firearms and cars that were better made than the dwarves made.

However, the ammunition was stuck in the hands of the traversal crowd, and it only provided a training consumption of about three months, no matter how the representatives of the orc empire pleaded and how much they paid a large price, the traversal crowd only had two words - not for sale!

The ammunition consumed in three months is not much, but it is also a lot, and it is enough to deal with a small battle, and in response to the question of the representative of the orc empire, Shi Wenbo, who is in charge of foreign affairs, said very calmly: "In order to maintain regional peace and long-term stability, and for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, I really can't give more ammunition, but I can give a few more cannons, with three bases of ammunition." The representative of the fox clan who received such an answer immediately agreed, and returned to the imperial city happily, waiting for the traversal to personally send the made weapons.

And using today's military production line to manufacture these backward weapons is really a bit of a fuss, and it just so happened that Zhang Tianchi set up an arms company, which led to a large order from the government for the dragon servant military industry.
