Chapter 437 The unveiling of the era of Huayuan's hegemony
As Yang Feng expected, the day after Britain abolished the gold standard, when his huge airship fleet landed in the Shanghai municipality amidst the cheers of the people, France announced the abolition of the franc gold standard, and then Germany, Russia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire also abolished the gold standard.
This news caused a huge shock in the capital market, especially those international investors who held sterling bonds. Driven by panic, they began to sell sterling bonds in large quantities, and even the London Stock Exchange had to shut down in an emergency.{3w
.
However, this has little impact on China. In recent years, the funds in the hands of Chinese people have been deceived by Emperor Yang into the steel-making movement. Besides, it is too far from London. After all, Chinese capitalists have too short time to play finance.
Few people will focus on the bond market, but it has caused a big blow to the United States, whose economy is now tied to the United Kingdom. The New York Stock Exchange was also shut down due to the violent selling of British bonds.
Fortunately, the Huayuan was still strong at this time, and Emperor Yang promised in public in Shanghai that the Huayuan would continue to maintain the gold standard. However, at the same time, the Chinese government also issued a temporary gold control order, prohibiting the flow of gold out of the country, which meant that even if the people
Banks are allowed to exchange gold, and the gold can only stay in China.
Of course, this is understandable. All European countries have already done this. If the only remaining gold standard power allows gold to leave the country, it would be a fool. But as long as Hua Yuan maintains the gold standard, this is enough. Who can say anything else?
Is it okay to exchange it for a pile of gold and keep it at home? Should I frighten the vegetable vendors to death by grabbing a handful of gold coins with a minimum face value of 100 yuan when I go shopping for groceries?
As a result, the Hua Yuan, which still maintained the gold standard, became the darling of the international settlement system. The pound, which was previously loved by everyone, was kicked aside without hesitation like a bored yellow-faced woman, with the face of Emperor Yang printed on it.
The red banknotes are everyone’s favorite. Even the black ghosts in Africa know that these banknotes are gold.
"Look how good this is, we actually don't have to do anything, everything is done by ourselves naturally." Yang Feng said proudly.
"Currency is just a tool in trade circulation. It does not have any value in itself. It cannot be eaten or clothed. No matter it is gold or silver or banknotes produced by a money printing machine, this is essentially the case. So there is
What is the value? It is its credibility and people believe in it.
Because of its rarity, precious metals carry natural credibility. No country or bank in the world has the same credibility. Therefore, gold has become the world's currency, and silver has become a substitute or replacement for gold. However,
Precious metals are actually not suitable as currency because their output is limited. When the circulation in society increases sharply, this limitation will be revealed, and people will feel that there is a lack of currency and circulation is restricted.
The solution is money. And it's the only solution.
But the question is, how can such a small piece of paper produced by an assembly line have the same credibility as precious metals? It is very simple, as long as the person who prints this small piece of paper has such credibility.
So where does the credibility of the person who prints this small piece of paper come from?
Strength and credibility come from his strength.
Where does strength come from?
Army. Strength comes from having a strong army.
A strong army comes from having a strong country. The stronger our country is, the stronger our army is, and the stronger the People's Bank of China is. I believe that the scope of the credibility of the People's Bank of China will be greater. When our country can only protect
When we are ourselves, the credibility of the People's Bank of China is only valid on our own land. The credibility of Huayuan is also limited to our citizens. Among our citizens, it is gold. When our country's strength can control Asia,
, Huayuan's credibility is the whole of Asia. When our country is strong enough to control the world, Huayuan's credibility is the whole world.
And our ultimate goal is the world. What we want is for the Hua Yuan to become the world's currency. As long as our country and military are strong enough to control the world, even if we abolish the gold standard at that time, the Hua Yuan will still be the world's currency. We can't do that now.
If there is no point, we can only make do with the gold standard.
Once we abolish the gold standard and the Chinese dollar is still the world currency, then the whole world will become our pasture, and the whole world will be our grazing sheep for us to collect wool. As for the methods, there will be various ways, and we will never
Of course, the purpose of wool harvesting in the whole world is not to increase our wealth. What meaning does wealth mean to us at that time? There is nothing meaningful anymore. What we need is to use the wealth harvested from wool to support our country and our people.
The army ensures that we will continue to control the world forever and ever, and we will also continue to harvest wool in the entire world forever and ever.
As long as our strength can guarantee that we will always control the world, Hua Yuan can guarantee that we will always collect wool from the entire world. As long as Hua Yuan can always collect wool from the entire world, our strength will guarantee that we will always control the world. This is a circular cycle.
As long as we don't commit suicide or invade by aliens, or a catastrophe kills us, there is no solution to this cycle." Yang Feng lay on the big bed floating in the sky in his own way, looking at the white clouds while looking at his own
The wives described the future Huayuan hegemony. Of course, no one but Ye Zi would care about such a loving thing as dominating the world. Lin Luoke and others were already drowsy at this time.
He is actually asking Huayuan to copy the entire process of the US dollar's counterattack. But unlike the United States, the strength he can control now is more powerful, so it will definitely not take that long. Originally, the United States had a history of World War I
This process has basically started since then, but unfortunately, although they were powerful at that time, they were still far from controlling the world, and most of the world's gold had flowed into their hands through war, so they had to compete with other
The great powers established a mutually compromised gold exchange standard.
After World War II, there were only two major powers left in the world. The strength of the United States and the fear of the Soviet Union in European countries finally allowed the US dollar to ascend to the throne with the help of Bretton Woods.
Now Hua Yuan does not need to be so troublesome. If the war is done well, it will be fine. Now it will continue to maintain the gold standard. After the war, it will depend on the situation. It does not matter if it is a gold exchange standard for a few years. In fact, even if it is a gold exchange standard, it will be the same.
The task of harvesting wool was completed, but it was not played so arrogantly. Why did the Great Depression affect the entire world? That is, the entire world was paying for the economic crisis in the United States, but the strength of the US dollar was too small, so it was not completely passed on. Instead, it was replaced by
Try it in the 21st century, and it’s guaranteed that the first one to crash will not be the U.S. stock market.
Of course, these detailed things do not require his earnest instruction. Now those people under him have not yet stood at the appropriate height. When they can overlook the world, these things are basically self-taught. In the final analysis, height
Determines IQ.
Just as he was leisurely traveling around the country with his wives, while Europe was struggling in a bloody storm, a sudden news came out on the distant American continent that Alabama, a state of the United States of America, would hold an independence referendum.
.
This news did not attract much attention. Compared with the brutal and bloody wars in Europe that often killed and injured hundreds of thousands of people, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Besides, this state has actually been separated from the Federation for a long time. In the previous wars,
There have almost always been confrontations with the Confederacy. In addition, the economic ties with the Confederacy have become increasingly close in recent years. It is very rare that the independence referendum can be delayed until now.
But this news is different for Americans. It means that the United States will once again face division. No matter how weak President Bryan is, he cannot tolerate this kind of thing. The U.S. government immediately announced that Alabama has no right to carry out such a thing.
referendum, and at the same time sent a large number of lobbyists to use coercion and inducement to try to reverse the decision of the Alabama Legislature. Even the army stationed in southern Georgia to guard against the Spanish sent a division to Alabama urgently, but unfortunately at the border
The line was once again blocked by the Alabama National Guard.
And no matter how many favorable conditions the U.S. government offers this time, the Alabama Legislature is determined to hold an independence referendum.
At the same time, the Confederate States of America issued a statement asking the U.S. government to respect the people of Alabama's right to free choice. Since the people of Alabama want to hold a referendum to decide their future, their demands must be respected. Once the referendum results
It shows that the vast majority of the people of Alabama choose independence, then they should be allowed to become independent, just like the three Confederate states were allowed to become independent.
As soon as this statement was issued, the outside world basically knew who was behind the scenes. It was not easy for Emperor Yang to stay silent for so long, but this news was not unacceptable to other countries, of course mainly the United Kingdom.
Yes, even the British secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time. After all, they also know very well that with China's current strength, it is impossible not to expand externally. A boiler that burns enough steam always needs a pressure reducing valve. He is worried about
The United States is better off than worrying about British colonies in Asia.
Moreover, a huge country like the United States, currently the fourth largest industrial country in the world and once the largest industrial country in the world, can be said to be a huge pile of fat. Even if Yang Feng is the only one to eat it, I am afraid it will not last more than ten or twenty years.
He won't be able to chew it off, and he might even break his tooth, so he won't have time to think about other places. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
