New York Airport.

With a loud roar, a huge passenger plane with ten engines and the fuselage painted with the four big characters of 'Ping'an Airlines' slowly landed on the long runway.

Whew····

Tires cut across the concrete runway, and the huge airliner came to a steady stop.

"Selwin."

As soon as he got off the plane, Severn heard his friend's shout.

"Nicholas."

Following the sound, he saw Nicholas, a fellow villager, friend, and classmate.

Both are Danish.

Growing up in the same county, graduating from the same university, and studying under the same teacher's name, a year and a half ago, they found an opportunity to escape to the 'free' country of the United States.

When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears.

The two rushed to each other in high spirits, and then performed an intimate etiquette.

"How's your mix lately?"

Nicholas, who has been staying in the United States, spoke first.

The two had a high degree of education, graduated with a master's degree, and then went to France to study for a doctorate, but not long after they went abroad, their homeland was occupied, and then, before the two of them recovered from the chaos, France was gone.

After that, the two became proficient in exile, and finally came to the United States with their families at the end of last year, that is, at the end of 43.

With a good level of English and education, the two easily found a job in the United States, and their lives gradually stabilized, but more than half a year ago, Selwin suddenly went to the eastern country to pan for gold, and Nicholas stayed in the United States to continue to struggle.

"Okay."

Holding his head high, Selwin's tone was proud:

"I've already saved up the assets for naturalization."

"What?"

Nicholas thought he had misheard.

Before the war, the U.S. green card was easy to get, and nationality was not difficult, especially for people like them with certain abilities, but after the war, in order to guard against spies, naturalization began to become difficult, and a month ago, the policy changed abruptly, whether it was naturalization or a green card, a certain amount of assets were required.

$50,000 for green card and $70,000 for citizenship.

That's not a small number.

The official explanation is to ensure the excellence of the American people and avoid the participation of inferior and immoral people, and this statement has been widely agreed, with a 90 percent vote rating.

As for the opposition, except for the minority, the rest are not naturalized and do not have green cards.

Not citizens of the United States, who cares what they think?

Without a green card, you can be deported at any time, and without a state, you can't enjoy the power and benefits of this country.

His current salary is $2,000 a year, which is a very good income in the United States, and the average soldier in the army is only about $50 a month during the war, and he can't get $800 a year if he includes the war allowance.

But it is still far from the $50,000 fixed assets of the green card, and in this country, the monthly consumption is not a small amount, and the $70,000 for naturalization is even more distant.

And now, his classmates, who have been working hard for a green card or naturalization for most of the year, actually told him that he has the conditions for naturalization.

"When I came back this time, I was planning to become a naturalized citizen."

Selwyn said with a smile.

"You made $70,000?"

Nicholas swallowed hard.

Naturalization requires $70,000 in assets, and this money, with his current salary, would take thirty-five years to earn without eating or drinking.

"You said you were planning to join the army?"

In addition to assets, there is actually a way to naturalize.

Army.

Carrying a gun, braving the enemy's machine gun charge, the official propaganda is that as long as you serve for three years, fight for the United States, and shed blood for the United States, you can get American citizenship.

Of course, top scholars and professors don't need to, the government will invite them directly, but they obviously don't have the ability to do so.

"$70,000, of course not, I don't have that group of people on Wall Street."

Serwan shook his head at first, clutched his backpack and walked towards the bank next to the airport, while the conversation changed:

"Come with me over there, to the Republic of China, to where the Chinese are."

"Is it..."

The clever Nicholas had realized something, and his mouth was wide open, and his expression was even more incredulous than just now.

At this time, the two had already arrived at the bank, only to see Severn walk into a special counter for the purchase of gold, take out gold bars from his backpack and hand them to a bank staff.

Goodong···

Looking at the gold bars, Nicholas swallowed with difficulty.

The third condition for naturalization, whites, and then having thirty-five thousand dollars in gold assets, directly reduced the requirement by half, but gold is controlled by various countries, and it is not easy to get anywhere.

It's harder than making $70,000.

"Go to the Republic of China. I'll go tomorrow. ”

He decided to go to the Republic of China immediately, although he had to learn Chinese, and he would communicate in Chinese throughout the whole process, but it was not difficult for a master's degree in the Department of Metal Materials, although he had to be far away from his hometown, but for gold, for the dollar, for nationality.

It's all worth it.

······

That same evening.

U.S. Department of the Treasury.

"Are last week's stats out?"

The Minister of Finance looked at the secretary beside him.

"A total of 70,067 ounces of gold from technicians who went to the Republic of China, accounting for 70 percent of the total amount of gold in storage."

The secretary replied immediately.

"Two tons."

The Minister of Finance exclaimed.

It has only been two weeks since the so-called base directly used gold for payment, and it has only been ten days since the United States implemented the gold naturalization halving policy, and there are actually two tons of weekly income.

It is said that the amount of gold distributed there is increasing, and it is conceivable that how much gold will enter the treasury of the Ministry of Finance in the future.

"Hopefully they have a little more gold."

The Minister of Finance said to himself.

The war has been going on for several years, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and to support tens of millions of troops and support allies, the pressure on the Ministry of Finance on military spending is enormous and unprecedented.

Even now the United States is the only peaceful region that has not been devastated by war, well, almost nothing, and the world's capital and talent are flowing to the United States to increase the wealth of the United States.

But it's still insufficient.

During the war, consumption plummeted, fiscal revenues plummeted, and most of the huge military expenditures depended on national debt.

In order to make up for the fiscal deficit caused by the huge military spending, in addition to issuing special treasury bonds, the Ministry of Finance has actually printed money on several occasions, especially since the second half of last year, when the military pressure has increased, the demand for military spending has soared, and a large amount of water has been released and a large amount of money has been printed.

Fortunately, the international pound and the mark have depreciated, the dollar has soared, and the world is stockpiling US dollar foreign exchange, diluting these newly issued US dollars, so that the US dollar has not depreciated on a large scale.

However, the hidden danger of printing a large amount of money still exists.

So the Treasury needs a lot of gold to boost market confidence in the dollar.

The more the merrier.

According to the General Staff's projections, the more tragic war will continue for a long time, and it is expected that military spending this year will approach or even exceed $200 billion. And last year it was just 70 billion.

The GDP of the United States is just over $200 billion a year!

This will definitely have a huge impact on the post-war American economy, and it is possible that an economic crisis will happen again if one is not careful.

But.

He already had a solution in mind.

After the war, as the only country not devastated by the war, the United States will be the only beneficiary of this battlefield, the maker of the world order, and the World Bank and the IMF will be established under the control of the United States.

And then.

Through economic, diplomatic and military, the dollar is pegged to gold, while other national currencies are pegged to the dollar.

At that time, the dollar will become the world's currency, let alone a mere $200 billion, and no matter how much it is, it can be easily eliminated.

Thinking of this, the Minister of Finance smiled and was full of hope for the future.

······

At the same time.

Tokyo.

In the Prime Minister's Office, Mitsumasa Yonechi is furious.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"How can you attack the Soviet troops?"

He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand.

The front-line battle report, the difference in strength is too great, coupled with the lack of supplies, Tanaka Qin's 25th Army relied on the position, and could only barely stalemate with the main force of the independent regiment, why did several divisions suddenly break into the north and start attacking?

And broke through the enemy's position for more than a hundred kilometers?

And he, the prime minister, actually found out the news the next day.

"Where's Ken Tanaka?"

Mitsumasa Yonechi was furious.

"General Tanaka just sent a telegram."

The staff officer on the side immediately replied:

"He has already investigated the situation clearly, and the reason is that several special operations wings he formed found that the defense in the north was empty, and launched an attack on the north without permission, breaking through the defensive circle, and the follow-up troops also entered the battle without command."

The following is a selfish act of a mid-level officer······

A ghost came to Tanaka's mind.

“······ Yaga! ”

After staring at the circle for a long time, Mitsumasa Minechi could only silently spit out a goga, and finally sighed deeply.

The Empire has been kidnapped too many times.

"Prime Minister, now that the Far Eastern Army is weak, only one-tenth of its original size, it is the right time for us to attack now, and the war on the Eastern Front in Europe is imminent, they are not capable of fighting on two fronts, we can even..."

The staff officer on the side spoke excitedly.

"Do you think Li Yunlong's group is watching a play?"

Mitsumasa Minei took a deep look at his young staff officer and sneered.

After so many years of imperial wars, why has this happened repeatedly?

The reason is exactly the same as this staff officer.

The Imperial Army became also Bushido, and defeat was also Bushido.

Bushido gave the locust army almost invincible resilience and courage, but it also drove some grassroots officers into madness, lacking strategic thinking, lacking the ability to judge and deduce the general international situation, and could only see the immediate benefits.

And impulsive and reckless.

It seems that attacking that bear right now is indeed the best opportunity.

But the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!

Li Yunlong's group of people are not stupid, they will definitely take advantage of this opportunity, the empire is afraid that it will be reduced to a worker, and after shedding blood and sacrifice, nothing will be gained.

"Hey..."

Glancing at the staff officer who didn't understand again, Mitsumasa Yonechi only felt extremely tired in his heart.

This group of guys only knows that the older generation has no courage, betrayed the empire, and then acted privately, but never considered the ability of the empire to eat the immediate benefits.

He packed his things, then turned around and left the Prime Minister's Palace, walking towards the underground palace where the locust was located.

This prime minister, he doesn't want to do it anymore.

······

"It's time to cut off the connection between the devil's homeland and the peninsula"

At the same time, in Ping'an County, Li Yunlong looked at the map on the table, and the corners of his mouth were hideously hooked.
