"A lot of silver dollars?"

Yamashiro, Brigadier General of the United States, Weidemeyer, a marginal man, spoke with surprise.

Because of the shift of the strategic center of the United States, concentrating all efforts to deal with the mustache, withdrawing all air fleets, and even stopping most of the aid, coupled with the decline of the preserved fruit in the mountain city, the chief of staff of the Republic of China Theater, the status of the big red man in the mountain city plummeted.

From the door to the door.

And Weidemeyer himself didn't really do anything.

It really reflects the history of the decline of the preserved fruit in the mountain city.

"Yes."

The only two staff officers in the museum replied:

"There are a large number of silver dollars in circulation in the banks, and the total amount is expected to be more than 100 million."

Although the American forces withdrew and their influence also dropped sharply, those people at the top of the fruit still maintained a good relationship with Weidemeyer for the sake of 'money' to the 'free' country.

As soon as there is a wind and grass, the news will be shared.

"More than 100 million."

Weidemeyer's expression was surprised.

100 million silver dollars, equivalent to 10,000 tons of silver, this is not a small amount.

Both the United States and Germany are buying silver on a large scale, and although he doesn't know why, this has really pushed up the price of silver, bringing it to an all-time high of $1.35 per ounce, far exceeding the $1.29 stipulated by the Silver Act.

Because the U.S. Treasury Department and the Deutsche Bank Bank are still grabbing purchases, the price of silver is still slowly rising.

More than 10,000 tons of silver, at current prices, is equivalent to about half a billion dollars.

"Where did they get all this silver?"

Weidemeyer was puzzled.

After the Silver Act, the world silver price rose sharply, and the face value of the Republic of China using silver dollar currency was lower than the actual value of silver dollars, resulting in a large outflow of silver, a decrease in market currency, deflation, and a heavy blow to the economy.

Although the subsequent currency reform saved a little, it was only the official purchase of silver for dollars, and it had just been restored to half a barrel of water, followed by a full-scale war launched by Japan, and the country collapsed directly.

After more than seven years of war, how could the Republic of China still take out so much silver?

A big silver mine?

No, no.

Weidemeyer directly denied that this kind of big news would spread all over the world before it was mined, and he was definitely the first to receive the news.

"It came from the people."

The staff officer explained.

In order to conceal the United States, Zhao Gang dispersed this batch of silver through the people, and buried part of it in the cellar of the landlord's old fortune to avoid the eyes of the Americans.

“····”

Weidemeyer was speechless.

This country has experienced decades of turmoil, secession, and countless robberies by countries around the world, and the Japanese have also occupied most of the rich areas, and there is still so much silver in the people.

"How did you get here?"

Weidemeyer still couldn't figure it out.

Like him, the mountain city of preserved fruit has existed in name only, Congress has not been in contact with him for a long time, and the base area of that gang has an excellent economic development, and it is said that more than a dozen industrial bases have been built.

According to economic theory, this amount of silver should be concentrated in the so-called base of that gang.

"The group's base prohibits the direct circulation of silver and restricts the exchange of silver dollars, and the official purchase price is very low, only one-third of the dollar."

The staff officer explained.

"It should be for their own monetary policy."

Weidemeyer is not an expert in economics after all, so he can only make a rough guess.

Then, a thought popped into his mind.

It is inevitable that those people will be strong and will inevitably be the enemy of the United States in the future, so it is time to plant a little hidden seed, no, it is to support a little 'cooking' power.

"Contact the presidential palace for me."

Weidemeyer said to the staff officer.

With the resumption of the silver dollar currency and a group of die-hard officers, the preserved fruit has also recovered a little bit of vitality, and the four major families have also relied on the heritage that has taken root for many years to gain a lot of money in the economic wave of the Republic of China, and formed an absolute control over the remaining little territory of the preserved fruit.

This batch of silver dollars will basically be collected by the preserved fruit.

So...

It's time to take out a loan for the preserved fruit, so use this batch of silver dollars as collateral.

With the money, he believed that the preserved fruit that had learned the lesson of this time would definitely be able to organize a considerable military force, and he would also be able to clear away the old diseases and make some trouble for that group.

Weidemeyer's eyes lit up.

He felt that the fighting spirit was back.

······

The news was transmitted quickly over the airwaves, and it came to Mr. President ten minutes later, in the middle of the night in the United States.

The next day.

It's also U.S. time, early in the morning.

"A lot of gold inflows?"

At the White House, the president received a report after taking imported medicine.

Report from the Ministry of Finance.

"Yes."

The debriefing Ministry of Finance said:

"Mainly through the inflow of technical personnel from the Republic of China, there was a ton last week, and the number continues to increase, and they directly reward gold for technical personnel who have made excellent achievements in cultivating talents."

"Both at home and abroad."

and Boss Chen often forced to chatter, coupled with the management base for so long, as well as the experience of the master, Political Commissar Zhao is well versed in management.

Equal treatment was given to domestic and foreign technicians.

Of course, in terms of ability, the stronger the individual's ability, the better the treatment, everyone is on the same starting line, and the country is free to choose, dollars, 'food stamps', or gold.

I have to say that there are still too few outstanding talents in our own country, especially capable talents, so that there is almost no pressure on the financial affairs of the base areas.

"So short of money?"

The president in a wheelchair was very puzzled.

After the last world war, the vast majority of countries used monetary easing, abandoning the policy of direct exchange of currencies for gold, strengthening gold control, and fixing gold prices.

Pay directly with gold, even he can't do it.

The greatest value of gold is as a currency credit reserve, directly as a currency, not impossible, many international bulk transactions are made of gold, but it is not cost-effective.

And, who has that much gold to pay all the time?

"I don't know, we know very little about them."

The Ministry of Finance personnel bowed their heads.

From a small force in the mountains, it has suddenly become a world-class powerhouse, which is developing too fast, and the other party's intelligence control is very strong, so the United States has very poor intelligence collection in the base areas.

Moreover, they are also the Ministry of Finance.

"It is expected to consume around 20 tonnes of gold per month."

The Ministry of Finance added a sentence.

"Go and call Donovan and the Minister of Finance."

The president said.

As a good leader, Mr. President naturally understands that professionals need to find someone to judge.

Donovan needless to say, the president's right-hand man has swept away the shortcomings of the weakness of American intelligence, but in recent times, there has been some crotch pulling, and there has been no breakthrough in the intelligence against Chen Fan and the source of materials for the Germans.

The Secretary of the Treasury is also a great contributor to the policy, and he is one of the main formulators of the policy of the United States to get out of the economic crisis.

Soon, the two American giants came to the White House.

The president did not ask questions directly, but showed the two men the telegram from Weidemeyer.

"Mr. President."

The Minister of Finance spoke first:

"Based on the information we know so far, we cannot accurately deduce the purpose of the other side."

At this point, he glanced at Mr. Donovan before continuing:

"But from the analysis of common sense, referring to the situation of silver, it is very likely that in order to stabilize our own currency, although we have not been able to make the other party reduce the price of drugs, but also forced it to agree to use the settlement, which is a disguised suppression of the other party's spontaneous monetary system."

After all, the base area is new, inexperienced, and incapable, and after going abroad and coming to the world financial battlefield, the Americans have learned a lesson and suffered a small loss, and the drugs that were originally settled with food stamps were forced to agree to direct dollar transactions.

This has reduced the international influence of food stamps considerably.

The President nodded, agreeing with the statement, and then looked at Mr. Donovan.

The head of intelligence, Donovan, twitched the corners of his mouth.

The previous glance of the Minister of Finance was directly on the stake and barbecued, as if to say that the reason for all the difficulties was caused by his lack of intelligence work.

"There is no more detailed information."

Donovan spoke helplessly.

He can infiltrate the intelligence personnel of the German military and collect confidential information, but the group of people, the intelligence officers he stuffed into got all the rotten things on the street.

It's better to buy a newspaper directly.

"Agree with Weidemeyer's proposal to lend Shancheng $700 million, with his central bank's silver as collateral."

Glancing deeply at Donovan, the president said.

Meddling in the country on the other side of the Taiping Eye must and must, this point does not need to be discussed, the only question is how to intervene.

To put it simply, judge whether the preserved fruit has any use value.

After a night of analysis, his think tank has given the answer, although it has declined, it still has a lot of influence, and it will not be swallowed up and eliminated in a short time.

"Yes."

The Minister of Finance nodded.

Donovan raised his head, his mouth moving, as if trying to speak.

He instinctively sensed something was wrong.

A large amount of silver appeared, and with his intelligence experience of the Republic of China, the report said that it was 10,000 tons, but in fact it was 20,000 tons or more.

But after nearly a decade of war, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly appear in a short period of time.

And judging from the unconfirmed information he had, the gang on the other side of the Pacific Ocean did not lack any resources, whether it was oil, iron ore, copper ore, or coal.

There is no shortage of machinery and equipment, and there is also top talent.

Cars, trucks, jeeps, and trains also don't seem to need to be manufactured, as many as they want, and the quality and technology are better than those of other countries.

With these, the only thing lacking in industrial development is the low, middle and high three-level talent system, as well as the market.

With a huge population and territory, a high-speed national economy, no shortage of markets, all countries are busy with wars, they cannot estimate their economies, there is no foreign competition system, and it is completely a paradise.

The other side's booming and fast-growing industry and economy are the best proof of this.

There is no reason to curb silver and sell gold to the market to stabilize the currency, so it is highly likely that there is a conspiracy against it.

But many of these speculations are unreasonable, and there is also a lack of evidence, and Donovan finally silently chose to remain silent.
