The New Year's Eve of the 18th year of Shenwu was earlier than before. This was actually a difficult day for Yang Rui in the year. It was not because of sending red envelopes, but because of the head of the family, he got up early in the morning to worship his ancestors, take a shower and change clothes, and arrange arrangements, making it look like a war. After he was troubled, he lost his mind to eat. However, this was something he advocated when he was in power, and when he fell on his head, he had to recognize it.

However, when folk musicians were playing and fighting, two cars quietly walked to the duke's mansion. The guards outside were about to stop him, but when they saw the pass presented by the other party, they had to put it in. Twenty minutes later, Yang Rui, wearing an ancestor's dress, met Zhang Shi, director of the Intelligence Bureau and Zhang Kun, president of the State Bank, in a corner of the ancestral hall.

"Sir, the situation has been roughly cleared. It was the leader of the Schiff family. They are now taking over the bonds of the Japanese government in the securities market." Zhang Kun spoke first. Since the interruption of Sino-Japanese negotiations, he has been chasing who was behind the lending of Japan.

"Is the news accurate?" Yang Rui thought. He used to be half-believing and half-doubted in the conspiracy theory of the Rothschild family planning World War I and II, but now he doesn't believe it at all. What qualifications are a family with a total assets of only 10 to 20 million pounds? What qualifications are there to manipulate World War I and World War II? At this time, the people who can really influence the world's political situation are Wall Street financial industry giants and political families born in Mayflower. They are using the United States as a leverage to leverage the whole world.

"Exactly, this is the news revealed by Mr. Warberg, Hamburg, Germany..." Zhang Kundao. "↙long"↙wind"↙text》▼

"Woberg..." Yang Rui was flipping through this person's information in his mind. When he remembered the background, he smiled, "This person actually revealed this kind of information to us, it wouldn't be that simple."

"Yes, sir. I think this move is the Rothschild family..., of course. Not only the Rothschild family, but also other Jewish families who are unwilling to offend us to show kindness to us." Zhang Kun looked at Yang Rui who was lit a cigarette.

"Well. They were afraid that Americans would know, so they didn't dare to let the blind man in HSBC reveal it, so they had to go around Germany for a half-way circle." Yang Rui smiled, "Okay, you have the chance to tell the blind man. We have recorded the favors and will repay them if you have the chance."

The general manager of HSBC Bank in China is Lixier. He has been in Beijing for 46 years, but his eyes were blind more than 20 years ago. He is known as the blind class (this person should have died of pneumonia in 1924, but he has survived until now because of penicillin).

After talking about the favors of the Rothschild family, Yang Rui looked at the intelligence director Zhang Shi and smiled and said, "After you said it, what plan?"

"The plan is..." Zhang Shi coughed, but finally said: "Xingjian said it is better. I don't understand financial matters."

"Will Xingjian say that." Yang Rui looked at Zhang Kun again. They didn't go to Tonghua for the New Year, and they always had big plans.

"Sir, after Japan received this pound loan, it was ready to return to the gold standard." Zhang Kun's beginning made Yang Rui think deeply, "... According to inside news, the Hamaguchi Cabinet is not planning to price according to the current yen exchange rate, but to return to the yen exchange rate before the European war. That is, one hundred yen vs. forty-nine-eight-five dollars or ninety-nine-seven Huayuan..."

"This is equivalent to the yen appreciation by 10%. " Yang Rui bit the cigarette butt and actually took out the pencil and calculated it briefly.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Kun was not surprised, but Zhang Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't understand this thing, so he had to listen. "There is a possibility of speculation if it appreciates by 10%. Especially in Japan's Datura Province, the gold reserves in Japan are only more than 1,200 tons, but she now has 100 million pounds in hand. Once the yen runs, she can pay pounds to the outside world, so this possibility is almost zero..."

"Well. Then..." Zhang Kun analyzed very well. The yen with pound protection is not afraid of a run at all. He is increasingly wondering what Zhang Kun's plan is.

"But if the pound suddenly collapses..." Zhang Kun said here and stopped. The plans he followed were extremely confidential. In order to prevent the partition walls, his plan was written on paper.

"Is this possible?" Yang Rui looked at the things on the paper three times before burning it, and then asked in confusion.

"Seventy percent sure." Zhang Kun said it was 70 percent, but he looked 10 percent. He was very confident in the plan.

"Yeah." Yang Rui nodded with difficulty for a while. "What will happen to Japan in the future? Will we continue to negotiate with us?"

"This..." Zhang Kun also coughed like Zhang Shi. He looked at Zhang Shi and said, "It's better...that's better."

"Sir, according to the analysis of the bureau, if the Hamaguchi Cabinet collapses, the people behind Hamaguchi will personally take the stage, such as Kato and Takahashi. However, at this time, the Japanese economy is in a mess. If they don't look back and ask us, they will really make people die in vain." Zhang Shi said.

"What if the Japanese would rather be in a mess?" Yang Rui asked.

"Then..." Zhang Shi glanced at Zhang Kun, who had a sideways, gritted his teeth and whispered: "...coup!"

"Who can do things happen depends on the Black Dragon Club?" Yang Rui looked at him and asked. In recent years, China and Japan exchanged frequently. All the roninmen are envious of the Chinese government and are dissatisfied with the Japanese government's Northwest Governor's District and the Northeastern region are completely jungle worlds. Bad people in China are fighting there, and those who are capable are all in good faith. Seeing this, the Black Dragon Club also wanted to do the same in the New Japan, but was suppressed by the Japanese government. The resentment in his heart...

"No, sir, the people of the Black Dragon Society can't do it. However, the young officers who were dismissed by the Navy and the low-ranking officers of the Army can do it. Many of them came from the countryside and became increasingly dissatisfied with the Japanese government and the chaebols." Zhang Shi said.

"Imperial Taoist Sect?!" Yang Rui suddenly called out a name, and his face changed several times. However, this name is just a summary of later generations. At this time, the Imperial Taoist Sect was called the Faith Sect, which advocated national transformation and planned to implement land reform, military merits and national property, and then united China to expel white animals and liberate Asian colonies to realize that Asia is Asian. Their ideological mentor was Kitaichiko, and the military leader was Lieutenant General Shisaburo Masaki.

In contrast, the shogunate reformists, that is, the later governing factions, advocated the implementation of the domestic economy first and then the internal one. That is, the domestic implementation of the control economy, united with China's independent country Poland and other countries to attack the Soviet Union, annex the Siberia, Caucasus and Volga river basin, which was advancing westward; another strategy was to go south. Join China and Baijia to fight a naval battle against the Mahjong to realize that Asia is the Asian Asian. The strategy proposed the strategy of advancing westward was Ishihara Kanir Nakasa, the director of the Operations Department of the New Japanese Army, and advocated the southward to go south by Navy General Kato Hiroji.

At this time, Yang Rui's view was that the Imperial Taoist faction was actually a Japanese version of the Bolsheviks, and the Japanese version of the KMT party was not in line with China. The difference between the two was only between the internal and external. Although the Imperial Taoist faction also said that it was about the external, it was about the internal and then the external. However, if the Imperial Taoist faction really carried out internal transformation (national transformation), the people who divided the money and the land would definitely lack external interest. Coupled with the internal chaos caused by the revolution, foreign wars would definitely be incomplete; while the control faction first went outside and then inside, once the foreign war was carried out, the Japanese would be willing to surrender: either win or perish, and no matter the victory or defeat, the internal transformation could not be implemented. Later Japan was resurrected from the death of the American father's great reform, which was entirely due to the Cold War between the East and the West.

"The Imperial Doctrine is not a good choice!" Yang Rui thought about the information related to Japan. He did not agree with the Imperial Doctrine to come to power to carry out the Bolshevik movement, which would inevitably lead to chaos in Japan.

Yang Rui said that the Emperor Dao Sect was basically remembered that the radicals of the Faith Sect were indeed extremely respectful to the emperor, and then said, "Sir, if you can discuss with them and restrict some of their practices, then maybe..."

"The Imperial Dao Sect is a low-level officer who comes from poor and humble backgrounds. He is full of hatred for the rich and is full of fighting against the local tyrants and sharing the land. How can he restrain the emperor who has a stubborn mind?" Yang Rui asked back. He remembered that it was because of his stubbornness that the Imperial Dao Sect did not come to power. "These people who came to power must have nationalized the same way as the Bolsheviks, and the chaebols have a large power. One bad thing is a civil war. Besides, Japan is an island country. The navy is the bargaining factor. If the British and American forces are disturbed at this time, how can we fight after a few years of chaos? We raise dogs to defend the enemy, not for dogs to bite dogs."

"Sir, do you mean to ask the Emperor Dao faction to provoke trouble first, and then sell them?" Zhang Shi thought for a long time and finally couldn't help asking.

"I didn't say that, you said this." Yang Rui smiled with a teacup, only to think he was confused.

"I said it, I said it." Zhang Kun on the side also laughed, and then Zhang Shi understood.

"If the Japanese hold on, then they will stir up public opinion to make Japan's civil strife. The things that the internationalists have done are published in the newspapers in a lot of ways, so that Japanese angry young people can see how officials betray Japan's state power. Naturally, someone will jump out and assassinate them." Yang Rui said. "Japan has always implemented a low exchange rate. Now, for the sake of face, it deliberately raises the exchange rate, and exports have dropped sharply and imports have increased significantly. The people cannot stand it at all. If our plan is successful, the next cabinet will definitely withdraw from the gold standard and continue to implement low exchange rates. This will require hot money to fill up, prices soar, and people will live in vain. At that time, there will be fire everywhere. Let's act according to the opportunity."

Thinking silently about the consequences of the Japanese people not being close to China, Yang Rui nodded and said, "Just follow your plan. If the Japanese women go to bed and don't take off their clothes, then let's beat them first."

Just agree to the plan, Yang Rui also gave an excellent analogy, which made Lu Mei, who happened to come in, blushed with shame. She rushed out in three or two steps, while Zhang Kun and Zhang Shi who were still there wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their faces were red with aggrievedness.

"Am I wrong?" Yang Rui asked without any embarrassment, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, there is nothing to consider."

Yang Rui didn't dare to laugh when he laughed. Zhang Kun, who had a red face, said again, "Sir, the role of the economic crisis is getting bigger and bigger. In the United States... After we purchased it, we still have a lot of dollars left. Can we go to the United States to exchange some gold?"

The US dollar earned in the European War and this big purchase has been basically spent in recent years, but most of the trade surplus in recent years is US dollars, and the total amount of this money is nearly one billion. Now they only use reserves for additional Chinese yuan. However, after Roosevelt came to power, the United States quickly withdrew from the gold standard, and the US dollar became US dollar bills. Although the purchasing power remains unchanged, no gold is real.

"How will France choose? It is also separated from the gold standard?" Yang Rui did not answer Zhang Kun's question, but asked a related question.

"France has too many foreign loans. Once it gives up the gold standard, the franc currency value will suffer heavy losses. So from this point of view, France is likely to stick to the gold standard to the end." Zhang Kun said, "But if Britain and the United States give up the gold standard, and the currency depreciates, the francs will be equivalent to a disguised appreciation. At this time, she will also have a sharp decline in exports and a significant increase in imports, just like Japan. I think it is better to give up when it comes to giving up the gold standard."

"But you said last time that giving up the gold standard is equivalent to acknowledging the hegemony of the US dollar." Yang Rui said.

"Yes, sir. Everyone has given up the gold standard. Whoever can provide more goods will have more reputation. The United States is well-deserved first in this regard. Even if the United States does not bet on buying gold and silver from the world, the US dollar will be very strong. Although our goods are better than the United States, many things cannot be increased in quantity. Once the quantity is increased, the Huayuan will be stronger. This is one of the reasons why the United States hates us very much." Zhang Kun said.

"If the United States will really give up the gold standard in the future and acquire gold and silver at a high price, my suggestion is to cash out the US dollar first, and temporarily give up the gold standard when the exchange rate of the US dollar and pound is unstable, and then recover when it is stable. At that time, both the commodity quantity and gold reserves will be enough to support the Asian dollar."

"How much are you going to cash out?" Yang Rui asked. Then he asked unwillingly: "Can Huayuan, who does not exchange gold, yearn for buying gold?"

"Sir, our gold is not as much as the United States, and the purchasing power of Huayuan is insufficient. If we don't cash out, we don't recognize it at all." Zhang Kun said. "If we don't cash out, we can only rely on commodity support. But our commodity production scale is not enough, so..."

"Okay. I understand." Yang Rui was not confused when Zhang Kun said that, he just didn't give up. "Tell me how to cash out."

"In Ming Dynasty, you can exchange US dollars for gold in the New York foreign exchange market with banks such as Britain, France and Europe. This volume will not be very large, about 100 million US dollars, about one or two hundred tons of gold; the other is mainly exchanged for gold at high prices in the private black market. Of course, the volume in the early stage will be very small, but the United States really announces that gold is in state-owned, and this volume will likely exceed 500 tons." Zhang Kun said. Not only did he say that, he also handed out a general plan.

"The key is how to transport it out?" Yang Rui did not nod or shook his head. This was indeed a good exchange machine, but if it was discovered by the United States, he would lose all his money without mentioning diplomatic disputes. "Is there no other way? Why do you listen to it all by speculation!"

"Sir, I can only do this. After all, the United States is not Japan. If the foreign exchange market rashly sells a large number of dollars to eat gold, it will definitely be intervened by the US government. Only when the United States announces that the country of gold can it take the opportunity to buy a batch at a high price." Zhang Kun smiled bitterly, "If five hundred tons are to be shipped out, they can only be transported by sea..." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Shi and finally said, "In order to be foolproof, it is best to transport submarines. The Intelligence Agency is not... now, I don't know if it can transport gold..."

When it comes to submarine gold transport, Zhang Kun stuttered. First, he was worried that Yang Rui would not please him and intervene in actual military affairs, and secondly, he was worried that the submarine would sink. In fact, the snorkel of the submarine was not an extraordinary technology. The General Logistics Department of the European War began to develop. The infiltration submarine used by the Intelligence Bureau is a transport submarine equipped with snorkels. This kind of submarine displacement is 2,000 tons, and one ship can transport 600 tons of gold. It is indeed an excellent tool for smuggling gold.

After Yang Rui glared at Zhang Kun, he began to think about his idea of ​​making a fortune when the United States issued a state-owned gold decree. Since its founding, increasing gold is a national policy. In addition to buying outside, domestically, it is also actively looking for gold mines to expand production. So gold has soared from less than 20 tons at the beginning of the founding of the country to more than 120 tons, of which 80% were realized in Central Asia and the Northeast of the United States. Among them, the annual output of Murontou gold mine in Shiva was 85 tons, making it the second largest gold mine after South Africa. But even so, the gold stock is far behind the United States, and more than 3,000 tons is only the second in the world. If you can get 500 tons from the United States and dig it for another three or five years, it is likely that there will be 5,000 tons...

"Once something happens, not to mention that diplomatic troubles, they will lose all their money." Yang Rui gave up after thinking about it.

"Sir, but after passing this village, there will be no such store." Zhang Kun regarded gold as his life. He wanted to lock the whole world's gold into the national bank's vault. "If China and the United States have a bad relationship in the future, if we have too little hard currency in our hands, it would be..."

"Sir, as long as you are not at sea, the Intelligence Agency will ensure that everything is foolproof." Zhang Shi interrupted. At this time, the United States still had only F force, but the Americans were originally immigrant countries, and they did not have a household registration system and had extremely low penetration resistance. When he heard Zhang Kun inquiring on the way, he now knew the whole story and thought it was feasible.

"What should I do at sea?" Yang Rui asked, "The Pacific Ocean is more than 10,000 kilometers, from San Francisco to Hawaii and then to the Philippines, all within the inspection of the US Navy. What should I do if I catch it? What should I do if I sink?"

Yang Rui's rebuttal made the two people speechless, and the submarine was only 2,000 tons of ships, but they were still alone. One was not good, five hundred tons of gold turned into a treasure under the sea. If it was in the shallow sea, it would be fine, but if it was in the deep sea, it would not be able to catch it. They were embarrassed, but Yang Rui said, "But there is no such store after passing this village..., let's ask Shen Chengzhang of the Navy to see if the captains who have been to America are sure of this matter. Are they familiar with the sea conditions there? If you are sure, then try..."

As soon as Yang Rui said he wanted to try it, Zhang Kun smiled with a bitter face. Zhang Shize said: "Sir, if it is feasible, how can the General Staff go around? What should I do if there are submarines? Will I let the navy attend the privately?"

"Of course, the General Staff needs to go around." Yang Rui thought about designing a strict military order system and felt that it seemed impossible to bypass the General Staff. However, he suddenly thought of the upgraded xxi submarine that was being developed, and said, "Let's do this, since Xingjian wants to do so, then sponsor some money to develop a new submarine for the Navy. Then the bank orders two submarines without weapons to transport special cargo, and then requests the Navy to send an excellent craft team to help the bank drive the submarine."

"Sponsoring the Navy... Ordering the Submarine..." Zhang Kun didn't expect the solution to be like this, and Zhang Shi thought of not installing weapons. He was stunned and said, "Sir. What if he meets... what should he do if he meets the US Navy?"

"Can you still sink her when you meet the US Navy?" Yang Rui laughed instead of anger. "In terms of weapons, let the crew bring the machine gun and bazooka themselves. When it comes to anti-smuggling ships, they can be intimidated. If you are unlucky, you can only hide when you encounter the US Navy. The underwater range of the new submarine is several times that of the old submarine, and there is a snorkel, so it is very likely that you will run away."

"I understand." Zhang Shi said half-understand or not. He could not imagine the amazing performance of the new submarine.

"Sir. But the submarine bank only uses it once. You can't keep these two submarines in the future, right? Otherwise, the bank will sponsor the navy to develop new submarines. The navy will build a new submarine to help us transport gold once. In this way, everyone will not suffer any losses..." Zhang Shi had no objection, and Zhang Kun was worried that it would cost money to raise a submarine. In fact, he was even more worried that buying a submarine would cost money. The navy's things were no more than the army. A ship cost tens of millions. Who knows how much a new submarine cost?

"Then how much are you going to pay for the Navy?" Yang Rui looked at him and wanted to scold the money-lover.

"This..." Zhang Kun was a little surprised. He couldn't figure out how much it would cost. After a while, he stretched out his two fingers and gritted his teeth and said, "Is two million enough?"

"British Pound?" Yang Rui wanted to laugh when he saw that he was so painful, so he deliberately said it was British Pound.

"Sir..." Zhang Kun was so painful. He wrinkled his face and patted his thighs at the same time, "Who can pay for two million pounds?"

"Then how much can you afford?" Yang Rui lit a cigarette and threw another one to Zhang Shi, "A thousand miles across the ocean is worth 600 million tonnes of gold, and even if it counts two points, it will be 13 million."

"What the sir said is reasonable." Zhang Shi also smiled. He spitted smoke rings and stood on Yang Rui's side to help, "The United States may not be able to make money, but Japan can make a lot of money. Now, you know, the military expenditure is tight, and the Intelligence Bureau is getting worse every year..."

Originally, they were discussing how to add money to the National Bank's treasury, but they didn't expect that the Intelligence Bureau and the Navy had to ask themselves for money. Zhang Kun listened to Zhang Shi's complaints while calculating the cost in his mind. After a while, he said in sweat, "The bank has taken all the money to the Navy and the Intelligence Bureau. Ten million is only ten million, and there will be no more."

"One,2 million!" Seeing that Yang Rui did not express his opinion, Zhang Kun shouted himself, "Eight million will return to the Navy, and four million will return to the Intelligence Bureau."

"You are..." Zhang Shi added two million as soon as he spoke. Although from the information provided by Yang Rui, he knew very well that the United States was also making money. The gold country sometimes earned gold at 20.67 US dollars per ounce, but it was announced in a few months that it rose to 35 US dollars per ounce, with a difference of 14.33 US dollars per ounce. If five hundred tons of gold could be shipped out for 20.67 US dollars per ounce, it would be a net profit of 27.73 million US dollars. This profit was much higher than the looting of Japan, but Zhang Kun still deducted every penny.

"Okay, the key is how to exchange more gold from the United States, and then how to transport gold." Yang Rui saw that Zhang Kun was reluctant, so he had to speak in person. "You now judge that the US civilians have at least 2,000 tons of gold, and the most likely to exceed 3,000 tons, but if you can't exchange more gold, it's equal to zero. The money given to the Intelligence Agency must be more than the Navy, and the Navy cannot store 500 tons before transporting it out, right? It must be transported several times. I think this way, the Navy has 15 million and the Intelligence Agency has 25 million, which is a total of 40 million; if the gold exchanged exceeds 500 tons...,"
Chapter completed!
