"In the face of this silver rush, the Chinese government axe is helpless, there is no way, in support of our country's bankers commented on the performance of Yanjing political axe in this economic crisis, think: "A large number of facts have proved that although Yanjing political axe has a positive attitude towards the development of private enterprises, but there are not many practical and effective policies and measures, Yanjing political axe strongly intends to establish a more conducive to the development of private enterprise institutional structure, but limited to means and financial resources, in this year of industrial and commercial depression, Although Yanjing Zhengaxe is willing to provide any support to private entrepreneurs who are on the verge of despair, and has the desire to help relevant enterprises overcome and tide over the crisis, due to the high degree of dependence of China on Britain and Mi and other countries, the pressure brought by the rice country has forced Yanjing Zhengaxe into a dead end. ’”

Seeing this, the report was nearing its end, but the storm in Hirohito's mind still hadn't been able to calm down.

At this time, Hirohito seems to have been able to see the collapse of China.

After reading the report, Hirohito got up and went to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor was standing in front of the window despite the cold, facing the cold wind, and breathing in the fresh air, and the guards next to him were extremely surprised.

"Please come over to Minister Takahashi, I have something to discuss with Minister Takahashi." Hirohito commanded.

The guard officer took the order, and Hirohito returned to his desk, continuing to read the report.

Not long after, Takahashi Shikiyo, the minister of the Great Treasury in a black dress, came to the imperial study.

After the courtesy, the ministers sat opposite each other, and Hirohito handed the report he had just read to the Minister of Finance, and motioned for him to read it first.

Takahashi respectfully accepted the report, which was only for the emperor to see, and read it carefully, Hirohito noticed that the Minister of Finance's expression was very attentive, and he confirmed the real surname of the report in his heart.

"Do you think the contents of this report are true?" After seeing Takahashi Shiqing read the report, Hirohito asked a little impatiently.

"Although the rhetoric of this report is somewhat exaggerated, the basic content is true." Takahashi said, "China's economy is indeed in trouble, and the situation is quite serious. ”

"How do you think we should have responded to this new situation?" Hirohito asked.

"Personally, I think that we should wait and see what happens now, and not act rashly." Takahashi said.

"Wait and see?" Listening to the Minister of Finance's answer, Hirohito couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Takahashi replied, "As mentioned in the report just now, Shina has been driven into a dead end, but this statement is not accurate. ”

"Oh?" Hirohito asked, "I don't quite understand, can you be more specific?" ”

Listening to the emperor's request, Takahashi Isaki's face showed a rare look of embarrassment. Although it was fleeting, it was discovered by Hirohito.

"Can you elaborate on that, I'd like to know." Hirohito said again.

Takahashi was slightly groaned and replied: "Your Majesty must know that the political axe of China is a puppet political axe supported by the United States, and the chaebols of Wall Street will not easily let this political axe loyal to them fall like this, and it is not good for the United States for China to fall into chaos." ”

At this time, Takahashi was Kiyoshi, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided not to tell the emperor about the "Sixth Empire".

In 1911, at the age of 58, Takahashi was the president of the bank. Two years later, he served as Minister of Hidemito in the cabinet. Since then, he has served as Minister of Cabinet for a total of seven terms, including Takashi Hara, Yoshiichi Tanaka, Takeshi Inukai, Minoru Saito, and now Keisuke Okada. After Hara's assassination, he was also appointed prime minister. He has been in charge of finance and finance for many years, so that Takahashi has a deep understanding of the inside story of international finance. Now, of course, he has insight into the reasons for China's current predicament.

During the Russo-Russian War, Takahashi was ordered to go to Europe five times to raise public bonds, and it was these funds raised from European bankers that supported him to win the "big gamble" war!

The great success of Takahashi's five foreign debt raisings was actually inseparable from the covert help of the international financial capital forces headed by the Rothchild family. Since then, Takahashi has clearly understood the existence and enormous power of international financial capital. At that time, the European financial world was ruled by large conglomerates of Jewish origin, centered on Rothschild, Casser, and Schaefer, who had supreme power beyond the state. Even the world's leading countries will find it difficult to pursue their national policies if they ignore its existence.

Most of the Russian funds for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the development of Northeast China came from this consortium. At the end of the Russo-Russian War, Russia's finances were on the verge of bankruptcy because they deviated from the interests of this consortium of Jewish origin. At that time, the countries of the different camps of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France united to provide financial support to the country, which showed that it had great power that transcended national borders.

Takahashi is well aware of the greed that the forces of international financial capital can show. For maximum benefit, it can be present anywhere in the world. But it is also unusually timid, extremely sensitive to the slightest disadvantage, and often changes its intentions in an instant. Sometimes it is completely contrary to a country's intentions; Sometimes it coincides. In the first case, it can have a huge resistance effect, and vice versa, it can exert immeasurable power. In addition, Jews have a special national consciousness. This awareness also often has an impact on the tendency of international financial capital forces. If we look at the Russo-Russian War from an economic point of view, we can see that the war situation was unfolded in accordance with the intentions of the forces of international financial capital. The forces of international financial capital had intended to profit by supporting Russia in running the Eastern world. Later, dissatisfied with Russia's brutal persecution of the Jews in its own country, they changed course and turned to support Russia's enemies in order to achieve their goal of revenge against Russia. As the situation of the war changed, they felt that Russia was in danger, so they abandoned Russia in an attempt to turn it into a tool to help them seek benefits. The development and outcome of the Russo-Russian War were to a large extent influenced by this international financial capital force. Takahashi's greatest achievement lies in the fact that he coordinated the intentions of international financial capital with the needs of the national strategy. Make the two interrelated and interdependent. This is embodied in the tremendous success of raising foreign debt.

And how can the economic crisis that has swept the world this time have nothing to do with the forces of international financial capital?

"You mean, Mi will help China through the difficulties, right?" Hirohito asked again.

"I just know that the United States will not let China fall into chaos. Because the United States needs this huge dumping ground for goods. Takahashi said, "I can be sure that the Mi Congress will take this opportunity to strengthen its economic control over China. ”

Takahashi did not tell the emperor that the failure of the two "levies" was not because the company was not strong enough, but because it deviated from the intentions of the international financial capital forces headed by the Rothchild family!

"米国...... ...... of the United States"

Takahashi Isakiyo's words made Hirohito recover from the excitement and excitement just now, and he whispered to himself, his eyes turned out to be a little trance.

"Shina and Yuben, the two powerhouses can't stand side by side, there will be a war in the future......" Hirohito muttered, "Behind Keshina, there is the United States......"

"Therefore, we must not act rashly, and we must wait for the most favorable opportunity." Takahashi said.

"Thank you for telling me this." Hirohito waved his hand as if he suddenly felt a little tired, ending this brief conversation with the Minister of Finance, "I'm a little tired, so you should rest early." ”

Takahashi stood up and bowed to the Emperor, then took his leave, and left the Imperial Study under the guidance of the guards.

Watching the Minister of Finance leave, Hirohito's eyes were fixed on the location of the United States on the map on the wall, and he did not leave for a long time.

Shanxi, Taiyuan, headquarters of "Dade Bank".

At this time, in a small office, Qiao Yingxia, the head of the Qiao family of the Jinshang Group, seemed a little restless, while Yan Weifan, the president of Dade Bank, who was sitting opposite him, seemed calm and composed.

"Is there any other news from Kyori?" Qiao Yingxia sighed and asked.

"Not anymore." Yan Weifan said.

"Could it be that something has happened and we don't know?" Qiao Yingxia asked a little nervously, "Or is it that the 'people' over there deliberately don't tell us?" ”

"No, we have a 'straight line' with the Ministry of Finance and the provincial government in Beijing, and as long as there is news over there, we will definitely know immediately." Yan Weifan understood what Qiao Yingxia was worried about, and comforted him, "If you want to talk about 'harmony', their reserves of silver must be a lot more than ours, if the Ministry of Finance really wants to redeem the silver, their 'people' losses will definitely be much greater than ours, you must know that 'people' is Chief Yang, and it is impossible for him to do anything unfavorable to 'people'." ”

"Alas! It was also him Xiao Yang who asked us to reserve silver, God knows what he wanted to do? Qiao Yingxia sighed and sat down.

"Is the owner unable to trust President Yang?" Yan Weifan said as if jokingly, "But up to now, he hasn't missed what Xiao Yang has done, let's follow him, and we have never suffered a loss." Even our provincial governor (referring to Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi), listens to him. ”

"I know this, the Qiao family can have today, and he has helped us a lot." Qiao Yingxia said, "But this time, I'm afraid that he will take back all the benefits he gave us before." ”

Listening to Qiao Yingxia's words, Yan Weifan was quite unimpressed, but he didn't say it. Because he knew that since Qiao Yingxia's divorce, her spirit has been greatly stimulated, and she is not as good as before.

Qiao Yingxia's character Jintang, known as Chengyi, is known as "Chengyi Rich Man", and is the eldest of the brothers of the same generation in the Qiao family. He was shrewd, capable, daring, and radical. In the early years of the Republic of China, Qiao's "in the middle hall" was headed by him. He also governed the family strictly, and after his brothers got married, they all let him set up another door and read for a living. He also appointed himself to fast, such as "self-improvement and unremitting fasting", "retreating to make up for fasting", "knowing that it is not enough fasting", "yesterday is not today", "having to reluctantly fast", "saying new fast", "Xi Qinzhai", "Shixin fasting" and so on to encourage himself and his family. During his tenure in charge of housekeeping, he also vigorously reorganized his business, which made a big leap forward in the business of "Zai Zhongtang". In the second year of the Republic of China, he served as the head of the third district of Qi County. At that time, he tried his best to ban opium cultivation. Because of the forcible eradication of tobacco seedlings, there was a dispute with the peasants, and as a result, Chengren was killed, and he went away to avoid trouble in Tianjin.

Qiao Yingxia is deeply influenced by her ancestors, has a perverse temper, and has the surname of her father. He is very ambitious and runs his family very strictly, and his family is very in awe of him. He was unwilling to let the great cause of the Qiao family fall into ruin in his hands, so he tried to revitalize it in order to maintain the unity and integrity of the big family, and acted according to his grandfather's legacy in everything. Yingxia was originally from Dongguan Village, Qi County, and died early due to dystocia. After marrying Yang, she is the sister of Yang Cishan, a famous scholar in Taigu County, and married to the Qiao family in Qi County in the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu. After marriage, the two had a deep love, but they died of infertility or childbirth for many years, until they had a son in the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu. The whole family was very happy and held the child like a treasure. However, Yang fell ill after giving birth and died soon after. After Yang's death, Qiao Yingxia lost her beloved wife, wept and wept, thought about it at night, and vowed not to remarry. Who knew that ten years later, Qiao Yingxia took refuge in Tianjin, and occasionally went to Union Hospital for a minor illness, and met Liu Xiuju, a beautiful lady who was interning in the hospital ward. Although Qiao Yingxia stubbornly resigned due to the age difference, Liu Xiuju finally persuaded her father to announce her marriage to Qiao Yingxia for the sake of the Qiao family's money. The two had a son after marriage, and five years later, due to the disagreement between the two surnames and the huge age difference, the married life faded, the rift became deeper and deeper, and finally ended in divorce. After the divorce, Qiao Yingxia was in pain and committed suicide by jumping off a building, resulting in a broken condyle and a lifelong lameness. Because he was too deeply stimulated, he went insane for a time in 1921, so he went back and forth to recuperate in Tianjin, Yanjing and his hometown, and decentralized his power.

With the take-off of China's economy after the end of the First World War, the Qiao family's career has also developed greatly, after Yang Shuoming implemented the first currency reform, vigorously supported China's domestic financial industry, the Qiao family conformed to the times, the original money bank ticket number was reorganized into a more advanced commercial bank, in the process of reorganization, the Qiao family received the support and help of the Ministry of Finance, and the Qiao family often got the help of the Ministry of Finance and the "people and the group" when the capital turnover was difficult, and some of the "instructions" of Yang Shuoming himself, The Qiao family also obeyed, like this "secret silver deposit", which was carried out at the request of Yang Shuoming.

After the completion of the silver storage work, as Yang Shuoming expected, the international silver price began to rise sharply, just when Qiao Yingxia was overjoyed with the huge profits that were about to arrive, but there was news that the political axe was ready to reorder the currency system and exchange paper money for silver.

After learning the news, Qiao Yingxia was worried, and he hurried to the headquarters of Qiao's "Dade Bank" in Shanxi Province to ask the president Yan Weifan for advice, but he was surprised to find that Yan Weifan did not seem to be worried about it.

"Although there is an abnormality, it is a demon. But I know that he Xiao Yang will never do anything to dismantle his own platform. Seeing that Qiao Yingxia was still like an ant on a hot pot, Yan Weifan said, "Think about it, if he really does this, what kind of shock will it cause in the whole country?" Listening to his words, it is not only our Qiao family and 'He', but also our Shanxi, Kang family, Jin family, and Liu family are all the only ones who are looking forward to him. ”

"That's just as well." After listening to Yan Weifan's explanation, Qiao Yingxia finally calmed down.

Seeing Qiao Yingxia's expression softened, Yan Weifan no longer mentioned the matter of silver, but gossiped with Qiao Yingxia, the two chatted for a while, Yan Weifan felt a little thirsty, and was about to make tea, when a bank manager walked in quickly.

"Governor, someone from the Ministry of Finance in Beijing wants to see you alone." The bank manager said to Yan Weifan.

Listening to the manager's words, Yan Weifan and Qiao Yingxia couldn't help but glance at each other. Qiao Yingxia pointed to the red sandalwood screen behind her, Yan Weifan nodded, and said to the manager: "Quick! Please! ”

The bank manager left in a hurry, Qiao Yingxia got up and quickly hid behind the screen, and Yan Weifan quickly packed up the things in the room and cleaned up the traces of the other person's presence.

Soon, with the sound of footsteps, three people came to the house, one of them left after giving them an introduction, Qiao Yingxia knew that this person was the bank manager just now, and the remaining two people should be the "special envoy" sent by the Ministry of Finance.

"It turned out to be Commissioner Wang and Secretary Liu, hehe, long time no see. Sit down, sit down. Yan Weifan's laughter rang out, obviously he knew someone coming.

"President Yan, the two of us are here on the orders of President Yang this time, and here is a letter from President Yang, please take a look at it first." One of the people who came said.

"This envelope is really Mr. Yang's handwriting, hehe, this signature is worth millions, I don't have to read what is written in this letter, what does Chief Yang command, although the two of you say it, there is nothing to disobey." Yan Weifan said with a smile.

"No, President Yan should take a look at the letter, the chief has specially instructed President Yan to read the letter, and if you feel that there is no problem after reading the letter, you will ask President Yan to sign this agreement."

"Okay, okay." Listening to the other party's words solemnly, Yan Weifan opened the letter and read it, and for a while the room became quiet, as if a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

Although Yan Weifan didn't read the letter for a long time, Qiao Yingxia, who was holding her breath behind the screen, felt as if time had stopped.

Finally, Yan Weifan finished reading the entire content of the letter, and Qiao Yingxia heard Yan Weifan take a long breath, and her heart also hung up.

"Chief Yang underestimated me Yan, such a good thing that is beneficial to the country, the people and himself, if I don't agree, I will have no face to stand in this world." Yan Weifan's voice was a little excited, and Qiao Yingxia was surprised when she heard it.

"Then ask President Yan to sign this agreement, Secretary Liu, and give the agreement to President Yan." Commissioner Wang said.

After the signing was completed, Commissioner Wang said: "This agreement is in duplicate, one is retained by the ministry and the other is retained by President Yan. This letter was ordered by Chief Yang to be destroyed immediately after President Yan read it. ”
