2155
Although the president of the Central Bank of Gevra looked a little embarrassed, he still nodded.
"During the previous war, there were many experts...", he said with a sad look, "...you know, we have lost these people, and our development in some cutting-edge fields may be stagnant for ten to two years.
ten years."
"These counterfeit coins are so well made that I suspect mints from other countries are making them."
The little count was very keen in this regard, and he immediately frowned, "You mean they all come from Pengeo?"
Apart from Pengeo, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would be so shameless in printing such counterfeit currency to impact their currency market.
The Federation people would not do this. After all, the Federation has become the trade center for most of the world.
Once such a scandal breaks out, the Federation's status in the international trade structure will drop a lot, and they won't need to use such means to do anything.
To put it bluntly, they are already strong enough. Gaevra is no longer their opponent. There is no need for them to use such despicable means to affect Gaevra's economic recovery.
Then the only possibility is the Penteo people.
At the beginning, the Penteo people transported a large amount of cash and some templates from the mint. If there is anyone who is most likely to print counterfeit money, then it is undoubtedly the Penteo people.
The Pengeo Empire is also facing a shrinking economy after the war compensation. If they can print counterfeit currency to purchase supplies from the international community, it will indeed be of great help to a comprehensive recovery.
The president of the Central Bank of Gefra nodded noncommittally. He did not say it was impossible, nor did he confirm the little count's guess.
From his point of view, the official circulation of the new version of Vula's currency will only take more than half a year.
From the time they obtained the currency, to imitating it, and then printing it on a large scale, it was not an easy task.
Even if its anti-counterfeiting methods are not many, they still need to be overcome.
He had seen the currency used by the Penteo people, and the printing level of the currency was not necessarily higher than that of Gefra.
But he couldn't be sure that a country with a higher level of technology was involved in this matter, because doing so would only point the finger at the Federation.
His silence resulted in the little count's reaffirmation of his judgment. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then what do you think?"
After a brief silence, the central bank governor said, "We need technical support."
"You mean the Federation?", the young count thought for a moment and nodded, "I will contact them."
As he spoke, he had some new ideas, "But wouldn't it be bad for the federal people to get involved in this matter?"
"If we all rely on federal technology, then the federation is equivalent to mastering our currency printing technology."
"Once there are some differences between the two of us, this will also become a sharp sword in their hands that pierces our hearts!"
In fact, it stands to reason that the young count now has dual nationality of the Federation and Gaevra, but his job now determines his position.
Through Lynch, he could see clearly what the federal government looked like.
As long as there are enough benefits, federal government politicians and capitalists can unite to extort money!
For example, during the Great Depression more than ten years ago, when many foreign investors were preparing to withdraw, they were cut off from the opportunity to flee by joining forces and divided up their businesses on the spot.
Even now it is actually the same.
Some companies conduct financial investment activities in the Commonwealth, make money, and want to leave.
Then they made some moves to completely keep these investors, including their funds, in the federal government. The most effective move was tax evasion.
There are many types of federal taxes. For federal people, it doesn’t matter if you don’t file some taxes. It’s not true that the tax bureau will not let you pay less.
But it is indeed not something that is easy to understand. Even if you have a professional accountant to prepare the tax return, you may still make mistakes.
As long as this method is used, everyone can make mistakes, and no one can escape the shameless whirlpool of the Federation people.
The young earl had to consider this. Although he was half-federal, he did not want his name and family to be nailed to Gefra's pillar of shame.
One day in the future, he will even appear in textbooks with a negative image, such as "traitor" or something like that.
Thinking of this, the little earl thought of Lynch's Blackstone Bank.
"I heard that the chip anti-counterfeiting technology developed by Lynch and others in Slem is the most advanced in the world. Maybe you should go check it out."
"Lynch is a very reputable person. As long as he can sign a contract, even if it is just a verbal commitment, he will not betray our interests."
"You go over there and see if we can use some of his skills, and then we'll consider this matter."
Although there seemed to be no big difference between choosing Lynch and choosing the federal government, the governor of the central bank readily agreed.
At least that's the only solution right now - if not through the federal government.
What he is really worried about is that the federal government uses "technical confidentiality" as an excuse to let them print the new version of Fula on the federal side. This is the most terrifying thing!
"So these counterfeit coins in circulation now..."
The little count picked up the counterfeit coin again. It was almost impossible to tell that it was fake!
"Don't worry about it for now. Send someone to check where it comes from. After the problem of our new currency is solved, we will find an opportunity to recover these counterfeit coins."
After the governor of the central bank left, the young count breathed a sigh of relief.
From the beginning, he was mentally prepared that it would be difficult to be the first prime minister, but he did not expect that it would be so troublesome.
It’s not just a problem with counterfeit money, it’s a problem with the entire society!
Now that Gefra's market is fully open, only a small part of the privileges of the nobles have been restored, and the power of capital has begun to expand rapidly.
The first thing to face is the newly emerged problem of labor conflict.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The island's economy is recovering, this is the official statement, but it is still some way away from real recovery.
The cost of infrastructure construction is very high and the profit is very thin. The government cannot afford this part of the expenditure and can only leave it to the capitalists.
When capitalists' profits are insufficient, they will release more profit space by oppressing and exploiting workers.
At this time, there are not many choices for ordinary people. They can either go hungry or bite the bullet and exchange their exhaustion for a reward that can only satisfy their hunger.
Of course, there is not no good news. The good news is that the number of young and middle-aged men in Gefra has not decreased significantly.
Unlike the Federation, which suddenly lost more than a million young and middle-aged labor force, Gefra's army successfully survived by adhering to the characteristic of surrendering as soon as the cannon sounded.
They have enough labor to work, which may be the only good news among all the bad news.
In addition to these, there are also funding issues and many diplomatic issues.
The international legal battle between Gaevra and Pengeo has not ended yet. The two sides are still entangled over whether the wealth that Pengeo plundered from Gaifra should be returned.
The Gefra people believed that Pentio should return this part of the plundered wealth, while Pentio believed that the wartime government headed by the Minister of War had already signed various treaties.
The wealth they took away from Gafla was "reparations", not plunder...
All in all, this is not an easy job.
Sometimes he wonders, what would Lynch do if he were in his current position?
Lin Qi didn't know that the young count would think of him at this time, but even if he did, he didn't really care.
In October, there are only three months left before next year’s roster submission.
The seats in Congress will be adjusted during the regular session in February next year, and now the federal political arena has begun to see fluctuations in interest.
Those that are stable and motionless don't seem to make much noise.
Those who were not sure whether they could continue their work started urgent public relations.
Capitalists have also become active, especially some overseas capitalists!
They became particularly active because this was a great opportunity for them.
Regardless of whether they are domestic capitalists or overseas capitalists, in the final analysis, what they can make people look at is the money in their hands.
No matter who owns the money, as long as it is deposited into an anonymous account, it can belong to anyone!
Money can solve so many things, and there will always be people who feel that money is not everything.
But the truth is just the opposite, because money is everything!
Money can make God's apostles turn against him, and money can make those at the bottom who have always been uncooperative as docile as lambs.
Money can improve people's living environment and fill them with joy. Money can also buy young and healthy organs, allowing the elderly to live longer.
There's nothing money can't solve.
If so, then increase the price!
"Some people have already approached me and talked about some cooperation."
In a private environment, Senator Langdon sat at the table holding a wine glass and chatting with a smile about an incident he had encountered recently.
"You all know that I worked on the Environmental Committee for a period of time before, and they didn't know where they heard that I had a great influence on the committee."
"Make an appointment to meet me."
"They neatly arranged 200,000 in cash into a small pyramid and said they hoped to make friends with me..."
The changes in others' surprise or emotion made Senator Langdon feel a little carried away.
For a politician to have reached this point, he has reached a ceiling that many people cannot even imagine!
He put down the wine glass in his hand, "Then I scolded them, a bunch of foreign idiots with no culture!"
"This money is very difficult to get and very hot to handle. This is also the purpose of what I want to tell you!"
"I know that not only people will find me, but also you."
"In the past, you were all independent individuals, and what you did only related to yourself."
"But now, we are a group, and I don't want anyone to do anything that harms the interests of our group!"
