Chapter 836: Sunset Invasion and War Bonds
Fengdu International School of Economics and Political Science started classes according to the plan.
The future Roman surrealist female writer and the Eastern Roman demon king both stayed in the ivory tower, enjoying the quiet years.
But at the other end of the Beiyin Continent, a life-and-death operation is being assembled.
Counterattack Europe from Yinzhou, support the Germans, and complete the feat of Sunset Invasion.
All this is ready to be sent.
The Ming side can afford to wait, but the Germans really can't support it anymore.
After the study of the General Staff of the Marshal's Office, it is believed that the time is ripe for the Ming Dynasty to intervene in European affairs.
At this time, if it is no longer completed in one battle, the revival of the Ming Dynasty will miss a good opportunity.
In fact, there is not no opposition of one kind or another in the Marshal's Mansion.
Some people think that it would be unwise to rush across the Atlantic and fight a war of attrition with the white bandits in their homeland when the white bandit forces in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Maine, New York, Quebec, New Brunswick, and so on have not been completely wiped out.
After all, Daming has long passed the era of needing to bet on the fortunes of the country.
Nowadays, it is the best policy to pay attention to a soldier who does not need to be strange, does not need to take risks, and is upright and upright.
In this regard, Zhu Fugui thinks it makes sense.
But I didn't listen.
Although Zhu Fugui is not a master of micro-manipulation, to be honest, he thinks he still has two ideas in the overall situation of jumping out of the barriers of the times.
This is too many Wolong and phoenix chicks in later generations to set a good example for him.
Zhu Fugui knows very well that if he always pursues a radical and adventurous strategy, and gambles on the fortunes of the country at every turn, such a country will not go far.
It is true that if you want to get rich, you can't do it without stud.
For the beginning of entrepreneurship, stud is indeed a kind of wisdom.
Only stud can accumulate wealth at the fastest speed and achieve exponential rise.
But this kind of big gamble, just gamble once or twice in a lifetime, and it is an eternal common sense that you will lose if you gamble for a long time.
The Japanese made the right bet on the First Sino-Japanese War, and the right bet on Japan and Russia, and finally lost all the principal and floating profits at Pearl Harbor.
This is the extreme adventurism route that the Ming needs to guard against.
However, another line of ultra-conservatism is also something that the Ming Dynasty needs to guard against.
And the person who taught His Majesty Zhu Fugui this lesson was none other than the Red Empire, which was both prosperous and sudden.
If someone asks, when exactly did the Soviet Union begin, it was doomed to perdition?
Metaphysicians will say that the moment the insects in high positions abandon the ideals of their predecessors and abandon the beliefs of their predecessors, it is doomed to the tragedy of the Soviet Union.
However, Zhu Fugui believes that from the perspective of pragmatism, the Soviet Union did not dare to stud, or rather, it did not dare to make a big gamble.
At one time, the Soviet Union trembled in Western Europe with its steel torrent, and the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons hung over the world like an endless haze, from the foot of the Great Wall to the front of the Louvre, from the Statue of Liberty to the palace of Buckingham, its name was like a nightmare, keeping countless people awake at night.
But it is such a country with the largest arsenal of weapons in the history of mankind......
Suizong will only slap his shoes and shout loudly at the United Nations General Assembly, but he will not dare to press forward step by step in the Cuban crisis;
Xunzong's weapons are so many that they are not used twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, rifles are like dust, and tanks are used as scrap metal, but he only dares to use the mighty West-81 military exercise to make a fierce roar; Chen had millions of soldiers, but he never dared to really advance even an inch to the west.
The high population and high maintenance costs have exploded a large number of oppressive mid-level troops, and even caused the three technologies to be delayed in upgrading, but they did not dare to push other people's main bases, but instead went to fight wild monsters like Afghanistan who had no experience.
To put it mildly, if Xun Zong had exploded troops to attack a sub-base of the anti-Soviet alliance, he would have been a bit bold, and as a result, he fought Afghanistan......
It's strange that desperate to explode troops just for the sake of junglers, so that a game does not fail.
Today's Daming is certainly not the red empire of Xunzong.
The Ming Dynasty had unlimited steel, abundant grain, a wide range of light industries, and even cultural products that could influence Europeans.
However, there are some common truths.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
Therefore, on April 1, 1877, the fifteenth year of Dewu, Zhu Fugui decided to send an April Fool's Day gift to Europeans.
On this day, the "General Mobilization Order of the Sunset Invasion Plan and the No. 1 Order of the Generalissimo's Mansion in the 15th Year of Dewu" was officially issued to all relevant troops on this day.
The 27th, 28th, and 29th Divisions, the 9th Brigade of Railway Engineering, and the 1st Wing of the Land-based Aviation Corps, and the 1st Division of the Atlantic Command, the 1st Wing of the Kamikaze Commando, the 1st Wing of the Anglo-Saxon Homecoming Regiment, and the Atlantic Combined Fleet, totaling 83,000 people, formed the Sunset Advance Force and chose the opportunity to carry out a landing operation on Europa.
The former enemy headquarters of this operation was located at the Havana Naval Base, with General Morishita as the chief commander of the operation, and was in charge of land and sea affairs.
In terms of the landing force, Liang Weixian, commander of the 27th Division of the former Northern Yindu Command Division, and Yang Tiezhu, the imperial trainer, served as the commander of the corps and the imperial trainer respectively.
Morishita is mainly responsible for naval and offshore landing combat missions.
In fact, this Directive No. 1 is more of a rallying cry than a mobilization order.
Because as early as last summer, these high-ranking units were already training in the Gulf of Mexico.
After half a year of running-in, it has formed combat effectiveness and can be put into actual combat at any time.
In particular, in the Bay of Pigs, near the naval base in Havana, the mixed unit has conducted more than forty landing exercises and has extensive experience.
In addition to issuing a mobilization order to the army, the "Daming Times" also began to publish a series of articles entitled "Restraining the Horse from the Precipice" and "Don't Say It Unpredictably".
The call for justice to burn down the Louvre and move the blank Jin Han has been raised wave after wave among the people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Daming issued a total of 250 million yuan of special war bonds, which were sold out in just one week.
You must know that this is the sixth time that the imperial court has issued war bonds since the tenth year of Wude, but it is still in short supply, which shows how enthusiastic the people of the Ming Dynasty are to support the just cause of the empire.
In fact, Julie was somewhat opposed to the issuance of this bond.
She is a veritable thinker and planner in Zhu Fugui's financial system.
Although Julie didn't know how much money Zhu Fugui had, judging from the funds she had handled, she thought that there was no need for the Ming court to borrow at all.
The interest rate on war bonds is not low.
In this regard, Zhu Fugui could only explain with a smile, "As long as the money we borrow and repay the debt is the local currency of the Ming Dynasty, then we are not borrowing, but collecting seigniorage......"
This involves some of Julie's cognitive blind spots.
Even as a gifted girl from the Vanderbilt family, Julie could not understand why the issuance of Treasury bonds was not borrowing money, but collecting taxes.
This is the limit of her vision as a 19th-century native.
She didn't know how, in the post-Bresengton era, a certain lighthouse nation was going crazy to print money and collect seigniorage from the world.
No matter how smart Julie is, she can't even imagine an era of unanchored money.
In fact, now it is not only the pound sterling that is indiscriminately issued, but the Ming Yuan has long been overissued.
Issuing money according to gold reserves at a glance is something that only fools do.
This is not called being down-to-earth, this is called seeking self-defeat.
Education, medical care, railways, urban construction, and other public service products don't cost money......
If the Ming Dynasty is locked to the gold reserves, the currency on the market will be insufficient for a long time.
In that case, it will cause extremely severe deflation and stifle economic vitality.
For Daming, it will be a financial crisis no less than hyperinflation in the UK.
However, Daming will not now, and will not completely follow the old path of a certain lighthouse in the future.
If the Ming Dynasty can completely dismember the British Empire and suppress Germany, France and Russia, then it will not be difficult to issue unanchored currency indiscriminately in the future and harvest the world's leeks.
It's just that the volume of Daming is too big, and I'm afraid this world is not enough to absorb, and it is impossible to give up the internal circulation.
And it is not without a price to suck the blood, the financial industry is deformed and expanded, and the real industry is sluggish or even shrinks and disappears, which is completely unacceptable to the Ming Empire, which has 1/3 of the world's population.
Of course, after all, it's the money of a prostitute, and it's not appropriate to make a penny.
Zhu Fugui's plan is to learn Eagle Sauce, but not completely.
The currency of the Ming Dynasty is not anchored to precious metals such as gold and silver, but it can be anchored to manufactured products!
As long as the Ming Dynasty can always maintain the monopoly position of the largest industrial country, then the Ming Yuan is not unanchored.
And the anchor of manufactured products is obviously much more flexible than precious metals.
What's even better is that because of the plug-in, the currency of the Ming Dynasty can be anchored to the goods of later generations.
Theoretically, as many anchors as there are coins, as much currency as there is.
And the anchorage of the Ming is infinite......
As a result, Zhu Fugui used the industrial products of the later generations with unlimited production capacity as anchors to issue sufficient currency, sufficient currency circulation, and distributed them to the people as wages or benefits, which could stimulate consumption, and the consumer side could consume a large number of industrial products, and the industrial products that could not be produced in the country could be made up by later generations......
The card bug belongs to yes.
There are only two constraints, one is the constraint of cultural value, and the other is the uneven distribution of wealth, and the rich will suppress consumption after holding too much wealth, resulting in a clogged cycle.
Therefore, Zhu Fugui grasps cultural construction with one hand and wealth distribution with the other, and whoever dares to stand in his way will go to Alaska to settle down.
And this time, the 250 million Ming Yuan war bond is actually a process of concentrated redistribution of wealth.
To put it simply, it is to borrow the money of the people of Yinzhou to build Shenzhou.
The people of China have little savings, so it is naturally impossible to buy many bonds.
The people of Yinzhou were the absolute main force in buying war bonds.
After the maturity of the bonds, the people of Yinzhou were naturally very happy to get a return on investment, but the people of Shenzhou got new homes and new employment opportunities, and the wealth gap between the two was actually greatly narrowed.
No one loses.
With the rapid growth of total wealth, the yield of bonds is only lower than the dividend of Shenzhou Development.
But this part of the dividend itself is also something that the people of Yinzhou cannot share directly, and now that there are bonds, you can drink soup, which is not bad.
As for the term "war bonds", it is just a good opportunity to put up a name.
The income from the robbery of Paris and London is not enough to cover the military expenses of 80,000 troops?
Zhu Fugui didn't believe it.
My Europa friends are a family of generations, how can they have no money?
If not, it must be a problem with General Morishita's torture technique.
This is going to prison!
