A hundred years ago, Britain launched an Opium War on China, and it also has a name called the Silver War, because Britain's fundamental goal is to plunder Chinese silver.

Now, a financial war without gunpowder has started again in the whole world, and the core is still the competition for silver. However, this time it seems that Britain, the United States and Japan are plundering Chinese silver, but in fact it is the Tang Empire who controls everything. After several rounds of trading, the Tang Empire has controlled most of the global silver trading market.

Previously, the Central Bank of the Tang Empire, Datang Bank hoarded cheap global silver on a large scale, and with the strong gold reserves of Datang Bank and Tang Yuan's strong purchasing power, it hoarded huge amounts of Chinese silver. This batch of Chinese silver has been hoarding until the acquisition of Chinese silver in the United States and around the world has raised the global silver price. It sold all at the closest to the highest point of the silver price, making a huge profit of more than 5 billion US dollars.

With the Tang Bank's wildly abandoning silver and the Federal Reserve's stopping acquisition of silver, the global silver price plummeted again, and it fell to the bottom in just over a month, causing countless financial merchants who hoarded silver in the world to lose a lot of money. Britain, France, Italy, Japan and other countries even hoarded huge amounts of silver based on national credit, and the result was also heavy losses.

The most serious thing is in the UK. The MacDonald government planned to take advantage of China's fiat currency reform to incorporate fiat currency into the pound system, which would make a fortune, but was yin by Zhang Meng's Datang Bank, losing tens of billions of pounds. The Bank of England was the first to be hit. It once closed for half a month, causing panic across the UK. Many places even had a riot led by bank customers, destroying more than a dozen banks.

The MacDonald's administration was accused by strong public opinion and was forced to resign collectively, with Conservative leader Stanley acting as prime minister and secretary of the Chancellor of the Entrance Exchequer.

For the National Government, the London Financial Trading Center was closed, and the 400 million pounds reserves promised by the British government to the National Government were forced to be postponed, and it was ruined in a few days with the collapse of the MacDonald government. This was a big blow to the National Government, but the global silver price plummeted, and China's silver stopped flowing out, which was a good thing for people's livelihood.

As the leader of global financial tycoons, Zhang Meng sat firmly on the imperial throne of the Daming Palace of the Tang Empire, listening happily to the report of the work by the Minister of Finance Zhang Xiaochuan and Yin Jiabao, President of the Datang Bank.

"Your Highness, all the silver we hoarded this time was sold out, and the conservative gross profit was as high as 5 billion Tang Yuan."

Yin Jiabao's face was full of joy, and Zhang Xiaochuan next to him was also excited, but he was much calmer than Yin Jiabao.

Zhang Meng laughed in a harmonious voice: "President Yin made a great contribution to selling off his huge silver reserves this time. But this is not over yet. The global silver production plummeted next. When it falls to the bottom, you must not buy at the bottom. Although the empire controls the lifeblood of the global gold trading, silver is also a hard currency, and the empire must also control it in its own hands."

"I am obeying your order!" Yin Jiabao said respectfully: "I have ordered that major banks are preparing to recover international banking. We have used more than 300 shadow banks and futures trading companies to conduct large-scale short selling of global silver prices. In less than three months, all the raw silver sold at high prices will be bought back at low prices, which will be a huge income of several billion yuan."

Zhang Meng nodded. He was just pointing in the general direction. Yin Jiabao made this matter steadily with his outstanding personal ability. Zhang Meng was very satisfied with him and thanked Tang Shaoyi for the outstanding talent recommended.

At this time, Zhang Xiaochuan suddenly said seriously: "Your Highness, we have won a great victory in this silver war. It not only hit the global financial tycoons, but also caused heavy losses to the British government. However, the Wei-Chief has obtained information and the UK has terminated its cooperation with the National Government. Should the Empire interfere in this matter in the future?"

After all, Zhang Xiaochuan is from mainland China. Although he is now the Minister of Finance of the Tang Empire, he still can't bear to see his fellow commos from mainland China suffer the suffering brought to them by the silver war. He instinctively hopes to help within his ability.

Zhang Meng immediately understood Zhang Xiaochuan's inner world, smiled slightly, and said, "It depends on the attitude of the National Government. If they plan to seek support from the United States as planned, then we will not interfere. After all, we are in a delicate balance with the Hoover government, and we cannot break this balance unless we have to."

Zhang Xiaochuan was immediately happy and asked, "Your Highness, if the empress is not wrong, if the National Government chooses the United States, then the empire will create a silver war against the United States to disrupt their cooperation."

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "If that's the case, the benefits that can be obtained easily will naturally not be spared."

Zhang Xiaochuan looked at Zhang Meng deeply, looked at you with a look of understanding, and suddenly smiled: "If I were Hoover, I would definitely not cooperate with the National Government again, it would obviously be more than worth the loss."

Zhang Meng refused to comment, but just smiled mysteriously: "I hope Hoover is smarter than you."

At this time, Yin Jiabao said: "Your Highness, I dared to recommend two outstanding young people in the financial field to Your Highness. They performed very well in this Silver War operation."

Zhang Meng couldn't help but look surprised and asked, "There is someone who makes Yin Aiqing so value it? Tell me."

Zhang Xiaochuan also listened with curiosity. He knew that Yin Jiabao's talent was not attracted by his eyes.

Yin Jiabao then told the story of Liu Bin and Li Yun in the Shanghai branch, and finally mentioned that they took the initiative to short the silver price and earned a lot of money for the empire.

"It's really a talent!"

Zhang Meng couldn't help but be surprised. You must know that he dared to short-sell the silver price on a large scale based on historical trends. Looking at the world's famous financial analysts are optimistic about the prospects of silver appreciation. In this case, a pair of young people can see through the international financial situation and are talented. If they boldly short-sell, the courage alone is worthy of admiration.

Yin Jiabao said: "This action is of great importance. We only use absolutely reliable people to short-sell silver prices in major financial trading markets around the world. We can guarantee that Liu Bin and Li Yun are unaware of it in advance."

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Of course I can trust you. Those two people are indeed talents. I will allow you to ask and let them follow you to do things."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"However, you must be defensive. The empire is now rising strongly, and it is no longer as unattended by international powers as before. The spy organizations of various countries are infiltrating the core of our Tang Dynasty at any cost. Therefore, before you really value trust in them, it is best to say hello to the Homeland Security Bureau."

"Your Highness is wise, I obey the order!" Yin Jiabao naturally understood the interests of this, and he had to say hello to the Homeland Security Bureau without Zhang Meng reminding him.

There was nothing else, Zhang Xiaochuan and Yin Jiabao bowed and said goodbye.

At this time, the people from the guard room came in to report that the Director of the Homeland Security Bureau Tan Jincheng asked for a meeting.

Zhang Meng frowned. If it weren't for the major incident, Tan Jincheng wouldn't have time to see him in person, so he hurriedly announced that he would go to the palace.

After Tan Jincheng performed a great gift from the emperor and his ministers, he immediately said nervously: "Your Highness, the Intelligence Department has just locked in a woman named Yoshiko Kawashima, we suspect..."

"What? Yoshiko Kawashima?"
