Chapter 381 Look Back at 1986
Su Su sighed: "When the credit of Shandong currency was established, there was no suspense in this currency war. On the one hand, it was an emerging regime supported by the people in the Shandong base area, and on the other hand, it was a Japanese and puppet-affected area where people lived without corruption. Even if the Japanese and puppet-offs explicitly prohibited the smuggling of steel, medical equipment and other strategic materials to the Eighth Route Army, is it useful? The profitable merchants and puppet troops in the occupied areas want to make a fortune, and the people also have to have a meal."
"So the steps of the currency war are as follows: It's very simple. All the second-hand scalpers and scalpers will be cancelled. At all intersections, children's league members will follow the roads. Salt and peanut oil will be included in the monopoly of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. You must use Shandong coins to purchase these materials, and all fiat silver coins are prohibited. What is this? Does Brother Qiang think it looks familiar?"
Wang Qiang browed: "Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"
Su Su smiled and said, "The International Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, writes OPEC, and reads OPEC!"
Wang Qiang Oh Oh Oh: "OPEC, OPEC, I've heard of it!"
Su Su smiled and said, "That's the case. The Communist Party of China returned to the country, but in fact it was very avant-garde. It was decades earlier than OPEC. Moreover, in 1973, when the US dollar abandoned the gold standard and began to be linked to oil, countless economists regarded this move as the greatest feat in the history of currency. But as early as 40 years ago, the Communist Party of China had already linked currency to oil. Peanut oil is also oil, right?"
Wang Qiang was really moved: "It's really avant-garde! That is to say, if the Japanese puppet wants to obtain salt and peanut oil, do you have to exchange steel and medicine for Shandong coins? Then use Shandong coins to buy oil?"
Su Su smiled and said, "Yes! Not only steel medicine, but also good things, you can accept everyone. Anyway, you can change Shandong coins, and the money printing machine can charge seigniorage tax. Anyway, people can live without high technology, but they don't have oil or salt when eating... I guess prehistoric humans can't stand it, right?"
Wang Qiang frowned: "Why should I change it? The Japanese and puppet troops are just coming to grab it?"
Su Su laughed: "Brother Qiang, do you really think the Turkish Eighth Route Army is advancing and I retreat? In fact, there is still a large area of territory that the Japanese and puppets cannot take down, and even the reorganized 74th Division of the National Army with all the American equipment in the future cannot take down. So this is the prerequisite for the occurrence of a currency war, that is, it cannot be taken down directly by force, or it is too wasteful to take down."
Wang Qiang said, "It's indeed a very simple truth."
Su Su sighed: "The thing that happened later is really simple. The trade sanctions of the Japanese and puppets on the base areas have completely collapsed. The high-tech products that were explicitly prohibited from exporting to the base areas have been continuously entered the base areas from the occupied areas. These merchants were the fence-branded men who cooperated with the Japanese and puppets to sweep goods last time. Even though the Japanese and puppets increased their patrols and searches, they just collected some money and let them go. After all, not all puppet troops are hard-core traitors, and there are still puppet troops who need to consider leaving a way out..."
"Then the credit of Shandong currency is becoming stronger and stronger. It began to be fully circulated in the occupied areas around the Shandong base. From civilians to merchants, all the remaining materials were sold to the base area for Shandong coins and sold them to the base area for Shandong coins to be stored. The Shandong base area also developed in a prosperous way. By 1947, after the surrender of the Japanese and puppets, Shandong had become the most prosperous and prosperous area of the Communist Party of China. If the political center of the Communist Party of China was in northern Shaanxi, then the economic center was Shandong!"
Wang Qiang browed: "Wait, what is 1947 after the Japanese and puppet surrender? It is clearly 1945!"
Su Su laughed in surprise: "Sorry, the context has become ambiguity. Because a major event happened here in Shandong in 1947, which is what I just said, the 74th Division of the National Army's reorganized all the American equipment and equipment was directly attacked Shandong, and then became a transportation brigade in Menglianggu! This battle is super famous in the history of the Turkish Communist Party. It can be regarded as a practice with the weakened version of the US military in advance before the Korean War."
Wang Qiang browed: "It turns out that this battle is the national army coming to steal the economic center of the Communist Party of China?"
Su Su smiled and said, "That's right! In 1947, Song Ziwen's internationalization of the legal currency that he just mentioned failed. Faced with high inflation, he chose to sell gold and buy a whole basket of legal currency according to the principles of Western economics, trying to recover the currency and stabilize prices. But the gold of the king of currency is not easy to use in the face of Chinese characteristics."
Wang Qiang sneered: "It's better to open a warehouse and release grain. The four major families definitely have food, right?"
Su Su smiled and said, "In short, the National Government's economy collapsed and there is no way to fight the Turkish Communist Party in full swing. But Chiang still has hundreds of millions of American aid, the 74th Division. Chiang actually has several targets, and it must be one in northern Shaanxi. Then, Lin Shuai, the Northeast, had the strongest military strength, and also received many weapons and heavy industrial factories for Japan's surrender. This is one; then Nie from North China, the threat to Peking and Tianjin, the political and economic center in the north, is too great, so it is one; then there is Liu Shuai from Dabie Mountain, the most threat to the National Government's Nanjing and Shanghai, which should have been the first to bear the brunt... But in the end, Chiang decided to put his troops in the army and didn't seem to have much strategic position in Shandong, which really made General Su from Shandong run back and forth with ten thousand grass and mud horses in his heart!"
Wang Qiang laughed: "It's just to grab money?"
Su Su laughed: "Brother Qiang shouldn't know that Shandong coins have entered Shanghai during this period, and they have started to collect seigniorage taxes under the nose of Chiang Kai-shek. If an enemy country uses paper to exchange things for Brother Qiang's economic center, can Brother Qiang tolerate it?"
Wang Qiang browed: "Of course I can't bear to exchange for things with paper! If I change it to my brother, I will be the first to destroy my girl!"
Su Su smiled and said, "This is what happened next. So, as long as you control the key strategic materials, you can make your currency a trade settlement currency and further become the mainstream reserve currency, and even the materials within the enemy's territory can be mobilized. This is a currency war."
Wang Qiang sighed: "I understand a lot, and the local Communist Party is indeed low-key and connotative."
Su Su smiled and said, "So congratulations to Brother Qiang, Brother Qiang graduated from the second grade of Economics Primary School in the last semester."
Wang Qiang was so amused and laughed: "Is it time to graduate?"
Su Su nodded: "Actually, it wasn't Brother Qiang who asked what happened in 2008 at the beginning? I took such a big turn to let Brother Qiang graduate in the second grade of elementary school in the first semester. So I'm going to take the iron while it's hot. I just said that the prerequisite for a currency war is that it's impossible to get rid of force, or it's inconvenient to waste power. So how should the United States take action against China?"
Wang Qiang said in surprise: "You want a currency war?"
Su Su said in a deep voice: "That's right. The reason why the United States rose to power was that the two world wars triggered Germany to fight against the former overlord Britain. Britain won twice without trash. As a result, the benefits did not decline at all, and the sun never set into Little Britain, and finally fulfilled the United States. However, after World War II, the United States expanded and personally fought against North Korea and Vietnam, especially after the Vietnam War, which directly collapsed its economy and revived with the exquisite ultimate move of the petrodollar. I still felt scared. Therefore, the United States after the Vietnam War summarized the lessons and did not easily fight around major powers, so they invented a new way of playing the ship - currency, oh no, a higher-end financial war!"
Wang Qiang browed: "Does China know that the United States is so arrogant?"
