Chapter 390: The Opportunity of World Hegemon
When Tang Zheng finished the last riot, he looked at the more than one million funds in his hand and smiled bitterly.
More than a billion to two billion funds have been consumed like this, and this thug is really costly.
And there is also a very important point, that is, the money in his hands can no longer support the consumption of the war.
If a war breaks out now, it will be impossible for the light-chasing army to open fire and shoot unscrupulously as before, which makes Tang Zheng, who is already a little accustomed to firepower suppression, still a little unaccustomed to it.
It's still about making money.
In fact, now Tang Zheng can also get money, whether it is attacking cities, destroying zombies, or mining, he can continue to bring income, but this income is too different from the expedition to the Southern Peninsula.
With food in his hand, he didn't panic in his heart, and how to make money quickly has become what Tang Zheng thinks about the most now.
On the third day of the meeting, Tang Zheng didn't participate much, and let his subordinates discuss it on their own.
After the end of the all-army meeting, the whole side of the army was busy.
Now there is no foreign war, and all the field troops have gone out to fight zombies.
Tang Zheng's newly built brigade directly under him also followed the expedition, as well as the army aviation regiment, special forces, etc., and if the Chaguang Army wants to maintain the high quality of individual soldiers, it is necessary to let these recruits all be upgraded one after another.
When these troops set out, they took a large amount of spare ammunition from the arsenal, because now there is no money to replenish it, so they can only use it first.
And there are not too many spare bullets, after all, Tang Zheng still lacks copper and special steel, these two metals are the key to making bullets.
Therefore, it is still a top priority to solve the funding problem as soon as possible.
Just when Tang Zheng was also worried about money, a piece of news came.
The signal soldier came to Tang Zheng's official residence and reported: "General, Xinxin, Bai Yulan and other representatives of other countries have set off for Yuanjing, ready to discuss the redemption of prisoners of war. β
"Oh! They finally gave up. β
Tang Zheng immediately came to the spirit.
Now there are a large number of prisoners of war in the hands of the Chaguang Army, all of whom were captured by Tang Zheng during the naval battle of Dicui Island.
But their warship was sunk by Tang Zheng, but the soldiers of the transport ship were captured by Tang Zheng, and the number of these prisoners was four or five hundred thousand, including 300,000 Magnolia.
And later, when the Coastal Empire was recovered, many people from the Wool Empire, the Coconut Kingdom, and the Java Kingdom who had already landed were also captured by the Chaser Army.
At present, the number of prisoners held by the Chasing Light Army in various places for labor reform has reached nearly one million.
These are mature veterans, important living forces in those countries, and they cannot do without.
It was only later that Daliao tested nuclear weapons, and the attitude of these countries hardened again, believing that the army might succumb to the pressure of nuclear weapons, and when the time came, the prisoners of war would be released in order to obtain some favorable conditions.
But I didn't expect a backlash from Daliao, Ferdinand's rebellion disrupted everything, and Magnolia and other countries were a little panicked.
They were silent for a while, and finally they couldn't help but ransom the captives.
But Tang Zheng didn't plan to release these captives easily.
The captives are released, that is, their own enemies, how can they easily do such a thing as increasing the number of enemies?
Of course, it's not impossible to release people, but Tang Zheng wants the lion to open his mouth.
The ransom alone is not enough, he has higher demands.
"Okay, since I went to Yuanjing, I plan to do the work of Princess Tong first, and it just so happens that I'm almost busy here for the time being, so let's go to Yuanjing too."
Tang Zheng set off from the official residence and did not go to the airport immediately, but first walked around the city of chasing light.
It's been more than half a year since he left Chasing Light City, and the situation here has changed a lot.
The first is the height of buildings throughout the city.
Originally, due to the height of the inner city walls, the buildings here were only seven floors at most.
But now it's different, both in the inner and outer cities, there are high-rise buildings, and skyscrapers can be seen everywhere.
Only the prime location of the original inner city has retained some of the original style of the city.
For example, the Guns & Girls Bar, under Tang Zheng's care, has not been demolished, and it is still the same as it was at the beginning.
Tang Zheng even saw the rooftop where he and Luo Qiuwan were drinking on the night.
There are also the things that Luo Qiuwan talked about with him, the owner of the car dealership, the couple who sold breakfast, and the little wildflowers under the bluestone slab.
When Tang Zheng passed by the bluestone slab in a car, he deliberately glanced down, but unfortunately it was winter now, and of course there could be no wildflowers.
Thinking that Luo Qiuwan had become a big corpse sister, and that there had been no news since the elimination of Lu Shen and other multinational forces, Tang Zheng was still stunned in his heart.
The car went all the way, and it was not until the car circled back to the core area and came to the vicinity of the airport that Tang Zheng was attracted by a group of recruits.
It was a group of young men with very good postures and faces, and they were lining up there to practice walking.
"Oh! It's the first time I've seen this group of soldiers, doesn't it look like a field unit? β
Ning Yuwei smiled: "General, that's your newly enlisted honor guard." β
Tang Zheng slapped his head violently, and suddenly remembered that he not only enlisted in the honor guard, but also enlisted in the art troupe.
It's just that he is now in a high position, and there are a lot of things in the territory, and he can't pay much attention to these grassroots things.
Tang Zheng's car entered the airport, and he looked back at the honor guards.
"Last time, the military parade on Dicui Island was a little simpler, and it seems that if you find an opportunity, you should really hold a big military parade."
Ning Yuwei next to her also nodded: "General, in fact, when you return to the country, it is really a good opportunity." β
"Hmm."
Tang Zheng agreed, although the task of recovering the country was completed, this was not a real reinstatement.
The real restoration of the country should be a grand ceremony, even after he became the emperor.
This time I went to Yuanjing, and it was time to discuss these things with Li Wuwu.
Tang Zheng didn't like too cumbersome red tape, this kind of celebration parade, being the emperor, and even getting married to Li Wuwu, if he could, he wanted to do it all at once.
Of course, this kind of big event can't be too hasty, at least choose a good day.
New Yearβs Day?
Or is it around the Chinese New Year?
Tang Zheng thought in his heart, got out of the car and got on the plane.
This is a large transport plane, which has been changed into Tang Zheng's exclusive car.
An air force flight squadron carried out an escort mission to protect Tang Zheng and go straight to Yuanjing.
On the morning of the same day, Tang Zheng's plane arrived at Yuanjing Airport, and Li Wuwu personally came to the airport to greet Tang Zheng.
Seeing Tang Zheng again, a trace of blush flew over Li Wuwu's pretty face.
The two often talk on the phone, and now they are unmarried couples, and the girl is very embarrassed to see her future husband.
Tang Zheng got off the plane and also raised his hand to hold Li Wuwu's little hand.
The cameras around were clicking and flickering, and Tang Zheng and Li Wuwu were holding hands, which was probably the thing that the people of the whole country liked to see the most.
The two of them got into the car hand in hand, and the car set off for the palace.
When he was on the way, Li Wuwu said to Tang Zheng: "Brother Zheng, the people of Magnolia have arrived, and one of them, the royal princess of Magnolia, whom I knew before the end of the world, also came, hoping to meet me, I didn't agree, let them stay first." β
Tang Zheng nodded: "Worry-free did the right thing, they just want to move me through your relationship, so that I can release their prisoners of war, but how can there be such a cheap thing, these people want to kill me, I didn't kill all those prisoners of war is considered merciful, and it is not so simple to redeem the prisoners of war." β
Li Wuwu looked up at Tang Zheng: "Then what are you going to do?" I'm listening to you, are you going to ask for a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry? β
Every time Tang Zheng won and asked the other party to redeem the prisoners of war, people were used to it, thinking that Tang Zheng still planned to do it.
Unexpectedly, this time Tang Zheng shook his head slightly: "Yes, but that's just an additional condition, I have a higher requirement." β
"What requirements?"
Tang Zheng glanced at Li Wuwu: "Wuwu, the currency in our territory is now divided into two kinds, one is the light yuan issued by our Chase Light City, and the other is the new currency issued by Ling at the beginning, which makes the currency market a little chaotic, I think, our currency should be unified." β
Li Wuwu immediately nodded: "I think so too, and I just want to talk to you about this matter, so how do you plan to unify?" β
Tang Zheng didn't need to think about it, and said directly: "Let's call it the new light dollar, take the combination of the names of the two currencies, and issue it according to the way of one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan, the maximum face value is still one thousand yuan, and the purchasing power is still according to the original light yuan, the past light yuan and the new currency are invalid and recycled, and I will let the bank do this immediately." β
Li Wuwu nodded in agreement: "Yes, but what does this have to do with the higher requirements you said?" β
Tang Zheng smiled: "Before the end of the world, the world's common currency is the currency of Magnolia, but after the end of the world, the world should be reshuffled, they are not qualified to do so, and the circulation of the world has begun to slowly recover, if you want to redeem the prisoners of war, first of all, the first condition is that our new light yuan must become the world's common currency, this is the basis of the negotiation, if this condition cannot be reached, there is no need for the negotiation to continue." β
Hearing this, Li Wuwu was stunned.
Her biggest dream used to be to restore the country, and now the restoration has become something that can be seen and touched, but she really has never had such a big ambition as Tang Zheng.
Making Shin Guang Yuan the world's currency will undoubtedly propel the nascent empire to the throne of world hegemon.
In the past, Magnolia was because of the convenience of the world's common currency, which allowed them to harvest the world's wealth unscrupulously and become the world's hegemon.
And now Han Yue, does he already have such qualifications?
Li Wuwu felt that he was afraid that the people in Magnolia would not agree to this request.
Because once you accept this condition, it is equivalent to giving up the number one position in the world.
Li Wuwu also got the news that just some time ago, after the Daliao people tested small nuclear weapons, the Magnolia people also did this.
Maybe Magnolia felt that she had something to rely on, so she came here to negotiate with them.
But Tang Zheng threw such a big bomb when he came up, and there was a chance that the negotiations would collapse.
Li Wuwu was a little worried, but seeing Tang Zheng's confident smile, she was inexplicably relieved.
Obviously, a girl like her is not suitable to be the king of the world, and the man next to him is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.
Since she chose him, she will support him unconditionally no matter what decision he makes.
Because he is the future Emperor of Hanyue, and she will soon become her empress.
