Chapter 1237 American Community (Third update, please subscribe)
"European colonial rule in the Americas has collapsed once, and now European colonial rule in the Americas is back again. They are using gold to plunder the wealth of the Americas, just like they used guns to enslave the Americas in the colonial era...
...So we Americans must unite now to defend our currency and defend our economy! Even if we can't do it now, we should speak out our ideals loudly and point the way forward for America in the dark!"
For Emperor Zhu Da, the currency war was not just a war, but also an opportunity.
…
U.S. Treasury Secretary Daniel Manning, who lost his father when he was 6 years old, worked as a waiter in the New York State Assembly when he was 10 years old, then worked as a newspaper reporter, and finally entered politics as the Secretary of the Treasury, actually knows nothing about financial issues.
.
However, this does not prevent him from sitting in this magnificent office as the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.
"Roger, the Ming Empire calls the current currency issue a currency war again."
Manning was holding a pipe in his mouth and holding a copy of the "Washington Post" in his hand, which reproduced an article by the Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty: The Gold Standard-The Return of Colonial Frenzy.
Roger, who is the minister's staff, was sitting in front of the minister and said:
"The minds of the Ming Dynasty people are all about war, and their enthusiasm for war is just like the Mongols. But their views on silver are completely different from ours... Compared with gold, the depreciation of silver is inevitable.
Even if the Ming Empire purchased silver without restrictions, as the production of silver increased, Ming Dynasty would eventually find that the government's gold reserves were declining, just like us. The government's use of gold to purchase silver may save the time, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of silver.
The problem of ever-increasing production, using silver as currency, is extremely detrimental to the U.S. economy."
He has this view because President Cleveland is a "gold man", and his gold policy made the southern and western Democrats form a solid alliance to resist him and his eastern supporters.
Taking the newspaper, Manning, who was a journalist, looked at the news in the newspaper, thought for a while, and then said.
"Gold, silver... however, are just their excuses. Their ultimate goal is to realize the organization they proposed - an American community including Ming Dynasty, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and other American countries!"
What is this “American Community”?
It was an idea put forward by Emperor Zhu Da. Actually, what was this idea? It was just the first step to achieve expansion.
Roger, a professor at Harvard University, explains:
"According to their vision, this community is first of all a monetary community. The currencies of various countries are linked to silver coins. In fact, just like now, the silver coins they use are actually the same silver pesos. They implement a fixed exchange rate. When silver depreciates, it is guaranteed through acquisitions.
The price of silver... In fact, if it is the same, their unlimited purchases will become joint purchases by all countries. In fact, they also know how naive it is to use silver to purchase gold!"
"It may seem childish, but Roger,"
Manning glanced at the newspaper and said.
"However, this is just currency. Their community is also a customs community. The countries participating in the community must eventually eliminate tariff barriers. Goods, capital, and people must flow freely. We strive to integrate all American countries into an economic community.
"
Manning smiled and said in a sarcastic tone.
"You see, this is their real purpose. What's the end? This community is still a military alliance. Ming Dynasty, Mexico believes that other American countries will fight together to fight against all enemies who dare to threaten the common interests of the Americas."
"These Ming people are really a group of guys who always only know war, and are ambitious and only know expansion..."
Roger spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone, and he could see at a glance what this so-called "American Community" was.
"With this "American Community", the Ming Empire can legitimately continue their expansion. The only difference from the past is that they are no longer the kind of direct military expansion or direct military occupation, but through
This so-called "American Community" will occupy and annex those American countries and turn them into Ming Dynasty's economic and military vassals, and even colonies."
"is it possible?"
Manning sneered.
"Will those South American Caudillo politicians give up their wealth and power?"
No one will give up the power and wealth in their hands. Not only will those warlords not give up, they will even defend the rights and wealth in their hands at all costs.
Because of this, in his opinion, the so-called "American Community" is just a joke.
"Yes, that's a problem."
Roger nodded.
"But economically, a currency community is also of great benefit to preserving their wealth. After all, the depreciation of silver is not a good thing for them, so I think they are likely to agree to currency unification."
"If this is the case, wouldn't Ming's conspiracy succeed?"
Manning asked.
"I think so."
Roger said,
"The Ming Dynasty is the most industrially developed country. Once a currency community is formed, the Ming Dynasty's products will further occupy the markets of China, the United States and other countries in the Americas."
"Actually, they have almost occupied it now!"
Shrugging, Manning said helplessly.
"Even in the U.S. market, especially in the west, there are a lot of high-end products."
Manning, who was smoking a pipe, looked very helpless. In the past few years, big-name products have swept the world, and the United States itself has not been able to stay out of it.
"This is the main problem facing the Americas... The invasion of Ming goods is inevitable, and now the Ming Empire not only wants to squeeze other countries through the export of goods, I'm worried that they have another idea!"
"Another idea? What idea?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
Roger frowned,
"Currency! As they said in the newspaper, the hegemony of currency is the most powerful of all hegemonies! Once this hegemony belongs to Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty's paper money is capital and resources, and they can buy everything they want.
of……"
Roger couldn't help but think about what might happen in the future.
"In the past, they had to pay real money or industrial products of corresponding value to purchase various supplies. But in the future, they only need to print some paper money! At least in the "American Community", they only need to pay paper money, not
Gold and silver.”
After thinking for a while, Roger said again.
"All this is just the beginning. At the beginning, they just created a Bank of America, and then in the future, they will issue a currency that transcends sovereignty - don't think it is impossible. After all, those countries in South America are generally economically
It is unstable and unreliable. Compared with the currency issued by the country, the locals are more willing to trust foreign currencies. By that time, they will gradually take away the right to issue currencies of various countries in the Americas! By that time,
