Chapter 61: The New Dollar
In the middle of the storm spiral, Tom was still so calm.
Tom leaned back in his office chair, his "golden fake cigarette" in his mouth, and sucked the filtered air.
Tom began to analyze the situation of the war.
There is no doubt that the regime of the United Mexican States has no direct resistance, and guerrilla warfare is also suppressed by Tom's "road-building tactics".
There is now an option to reduce investment in military factories and slow down or even suspend the advancing offensive of the John Front.
As long as the capital investment in military supplies is reduced by half, the hero company can recover tens of millions of dollars in monthly profits in an instant.
After the execution of Massimiliano I, Emperor of the Second Mexican Empire and Lord of Tom, the United States of America ceased its "gratuitous support" to the United Mexican States.
The Washington Yankees believe that Tom is just helping the United States add a new state.
On the surface, it is the best option to postpone the attack, waiting for the capital chain to turnover, but Tom is worried that it will change later, and what if a third party forces join the United Mexican States?
Especially if there is a European monarch of sufficient weight, like Napoleon III in the Austro-Prussian War some time ago, should he accept it?
The north has not yet laid down a suitable outlet to the sea, and now it is not a waste of all the work that has been done to stop the discussion?
Does Tom really need to take all of Mexico? Occupy those worthless rainforests?
The northern part of Mexico is fine, the central and southern parts are almost all tropical rainforests, and more importantly, the rainy season is coming soon, is it really good to drag it out?
Tom touched the golden fake cigarette in his hand and saw that it was engraved with a phrase, and his eyes flashed.
"Are you going to use that?"
"In my last life, I used it rashly, and I almost went bankrupt."
"With such good preparation in this life, it should be no problem, right?"

Mexico's front-line battlefield - the outskirts of Chihuahua.
"Little A, are you eating canned food again?"
"yes. Big B. β
"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. β
"Hey~"
Now the "security guards" on the front line of the Mexican battlefield do not feel that the "hero company" where they work has a shortage of funds.
On the front-line battlefield now, whether it is food, munitions and other strategic materials, it is still the same as when the war first started, and the supply is indefinite.
"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. β
"That's it, Brother B, the first time I saw a hundred-dollar bill, I heard people say that the state bank's hundred-dollar bill isn't printed with Washington's big head? How did it become a landscape map? β
"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! β
"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 the HERO company.
Not only on the front lines of the battlefield in Mexico, but also factory workers at Hero in Texas have begun to hand out the new banknotes.
The new banknotes issued by the newly established HERO Bank have spread within the HERO company.
The new bank has two names, one being the common name known to the general public - Texas State Hero Bank.
One is the legally registered name β the Federal Reserve Bank of Houston. οΌFederal Reserve Bank of HoustonοΌ
And the new dollar issued has nothing to do with gold, and Tom is going to try to issue banknotes in the name of the hero company.
Guarantee is the credibility of HERO, regardless of whether the new dollar bills issued by this new bank are recognized by the outside world.
As long as you have this banknote in hand, you can buy goods at the HERO company.
As long as you hold this banknote, you can exchange 1:1 at HERO Bank for dollars issued by other reputable banks.
Now there are 250,000 "bodyguards" under the name of HERO, nearly 10 million employees of all colors, and their daily salaries are about 8 million US dollars, which is 240 million US dollars a month.
And Tom, who printed and distributed 1.5 billion dollars at once, wants to speed up the end of this war before the credibility of the HERO company is completely overdrawn!
The current Tom is no longer the stunned young man in his previous life who did not understand what kind of disaster over-issuance of currency would bring.
Tom knew what kind of disaster could come from over-issuing money, but Tom didn't mind.
Tom only knew that he was going to win this war, and he was going to win it completely.
More importantly, the HERO company does not engage in a joint-stock system.
Never sell equity in exchange for cash.
The act of printing money on a large scale is like drinking water to quench thirst, and the top leaders of the major consortia can see it at a glance
Printing money is the next step of Hero Company, and it can be said to be a signal that Hero Company is on the verge of collapse.
Except for the local Texans who believe in the "HERO myth" of HERO and Dixie's other low-level "red necks", HERO's new dollar issue is hardly accepted by people at the beginning of the period.
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.
