Mexico's front-line battlefield - the outskirts of Chihuahua.

"Little A, are you eating canned food again?"

"yes. Big B. ”

"Can't you learn to learn C, eat canned beef every day, eat some fruits and vegetables or something, the captain said, you must have balanced nutrition!"

"Big Brother B, don't pay attention to him, he only became a "security guard" shortly before the war, he hasn't eaten much meat before, and our brothers didn't only eat beef every day at the beginning, and they want to eat other things when they get tired of eating. ”

"Hey~"

At present, the "security guards" on the front line of the Mexican battlefield do not feel that the "company" where they work has a shortage of funds, whether it is food, arms and other strategic materials, it is still the same as when the war began, unlimited supply.

"Don't giggle, this is this month's salary, take it."

"Big B, what kind of money is this? See you for the first time. ”

"That's it, Brother B, the first time I saw a hundred-dollar bill, I heard that the hundred-dollar bill of the state corporation was not printed with Washington's head? How did it become a landscape map? ”

"It can't be a counterfeit, right?"

"What nonsense? Can the squadron leader give us counterfeit money? Eat your canned beef, that bit of canned food is worth more than that! ”

"Yes, yes, this should be a new banknote."

"What should, definitely."

This scene was seen in every "security" squad on the battlefield in Mexico, where everyone received a new type of banknote as a military pay, and the road builders were no exception, a new dollar.

The daily wages of the "security guards" involved in the war have increased from $3 a day to $5 a day, and even the income of the workers involved in road construction in the war zone has increased by more than 20 percent.

So far, even the workers who participated in the strike have received their wages on time and have never been in arrears.

Needless to say, the logistics food is not too much, and the road construction workers eat better than in the original factory canteen.

During the Civil War, there were only one or two thousand artillery pieces, while the 150,000 security brigade of the Hero Company had 5,000 guns, and it bombed Mexico indiscriminately.

Suffice it to say, almost all of the territories controlled by the Hero Corporation in northern Mexico have been washed by artillery.

Either it was burned, or it was blown up by TNT, and no matter how bad it was, it was baptized by flowering shells.

Some veterans and veterans of the Civil War knew that the backward weapons of the Civil War were toys in front of the Smith 1866 field gun.

They also often lamented in front of the new "security guards" that if there had been a hero company in the Civil War, it would have been the Confederate State and Texas that would have won.

Of course, everyone has some doubts and objections to this brand-new banknote, but recalling the "boldness" and "preferential treatment" of Hero Company in the past few months, especially the self-confidence brought by consecutive wins.

Everyone silently chose to believe this new banknote issued by Hero Inc.

Not only on the front lines of the Mexican battlefield, but also on the factory workers of the Texas Hero Company, began to hand out the new banknotes.

New banknotes, issued by the newly formed bank, thus circulated within the Hero Company.

The new bank has two names, one is the name of a Texan-State – Texas State Hero Bank.

One is the legally registered name – the Federal Reserve Bank of Houston. （Federal Reserve Bank of Houston）

And the new dollar issued has nothing to do with gold, and Tom wants to try to issue banknotes in the name of Hero Company.

The guarantee is the credibility of the hero company, regardless of whether the new dollar banknotes issued by this new bank are recognized by the outside world or not.

As long as you have this banknote in hand, you can buy goods at Hero Company.

As long as you hold this banknote, you can exchange 1:1 at Hero Bank for dollars issued by other reputable banks.

At present, the hero company has 250,000 "bodyguards" and nearly more than 1 million employees of all colors, with a daily salary of about $1.5 million, or $45 million a month.

And Tom, who issued $100 million at once, wants to speed up the end of this war before the credibility of Hero Company is completely overdrawn!

Today's Tom doesn't understand what kind of disaster can be caused by over-issuing money.

Tom only knew that he was going to win this war, and he was going to win it completely.

What's more important is the hero company, which does not engage in the joint-stock system.

This behavior is like drinking water to quench thirst, and the executives of the major consortia can see at a glance that printing money is the next policy of the hero company, which can be said to be a signal that the hero company has stood on the verge of collapse.

Except for the local Texans who believe in the "hero myth" of Hero Company and Dixie's other low-level "red necks", the newly issued dollar of Hero Company is hardly accepted by people everywhere.

The Yankees aside, they certainly don't approve of the dollar issued by Dixie Bank, and even the top brass in Dixie don't trust this new dollar.

In addition to the issuance of the new dollar, the issuance of this new dollar, which is groundless and supported by pure credibility.

Hero has also put on hold on a number of utilities and long-term investments related to the future of the business:

School construction was suspended, roads and rail paving were suspended, new factory expansions were suspended, and Texas land acquisition plans were suspended......

All in all, it is to suspend all the investment of non-timely income of the hero company.

Of the 250,000 "security guards", all but 10,000 "security guards" maintained basic security in Texas, and the rest were all sent to the front line.

Originally, workers in Texas were also sent to the battlefield as much as possible, responsible for road construction and other field engineering work.

Now that the Hero Company is still running, only the military factory and the profitable factory are still operating, and Tom has officially bet a lot of his net worth on the "gambling table".

If you bet again, you can only start selling land gold, and that's Tom's lifeblood.

The over-issuance of currency without any reliance instantly made the hero company "alive" again, but I don't know how long this false prosperity and vitality can last.

John, for his part, also received a secret order from Tom.

"At all costs, get access to the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible, and preferably take the Baja California Peninsula at once!"

The sooner you want to take the access to the sea, and it is a safe one, then the best way to do that is to pause the southern advance, advance along the U.S.-Mexico border, and advance from the north.

In this way, before the official access to the sea, the battle line will only get longer and longer, and the demand for military supplies and manpower will also increase.

But Tom did not expect that the biggest resistance would not come from the battlefield of the United Mexican States or the diplomatic mediation of the Europeans, but the "war" brought by his old rival, the Yankees.

June 21, 1867

At this time, it was less than ten days before Hero Company issued an excess of $100 million.

Several ships from the southeastern United States docked in the port of Houston.

Several Yankees in suits and leather shoes disembarked from the boat.

They, the representatives of the number one banks under the names of the major conglomerates, have to compete with Tom at the "friendly business negotiation table".
