Chapter 455 Things are changing

The generosity of the golden dragon King Tyran surprised even Luke. Although the fire crystal was of little use to the dragon, they definitely knew what the fire crystal meant to the secular world.

It is the blood of industrialization. Without fire crystals, cities will have no power supply, factories will not be able to produce, trains and ships will stop running, and the civilization of the entire secular world will regress back to the era of swords and magic.

Now, with the rapid development of industry, the demand for fire crystals in all industrial countries has increased exponentially. Because the Dragon Kingdom has huge reserves of fire crystal mines, it has attracted many countries to send people to negotiate.

However, the reclusive dragon clan has completely closed off contact with the outside world and does not accept any form of fire crystal trading.

Can delicious beef be exchanged for the mining rights of fire crystals?

Luke didn't believe it.

The only thing that can be explained is... Dragon Soul Banat's face is big enough, and the Dragon Clan feels the pressure, and they don't know where the pressure comes from.

On the pretext of trade, using fire crystals that are of no value to the Dragon Kingdom to show favor to a powerful country in the secular world, it is difficult to say who got the big advantage in this transaction.

Everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy!

After understanding King Tyran's intention, Luke dug up the fire crystal without feeling any more psychological guilt.

If the Empire threatens the safety of the Shuojin people, will they force countries around the world to ban trading with the Empire?

This strategy involves injuring the enemy by eight hundred and damaging itself by a thousand. Although the credibility of the World Bank has collapsed as a whole, it is still unknown whether the empire can survive.

The Imperial Secret Service's spies lurking in the Templar Knights discovered that an unknown person had donated a large amount of funds, and the Templar Knights had officially changed their name to the Knights Templar. At the same time, the angels in the Silver Manor met with the Knights Templar.

Several bosses, and issued some strange tasks.

Queen Christina and Agatha stared at Luke. It could be seen from their expressions that they basically didn't understand.

Queen Christina has great confidence in Luke.

Luke met the gaze of the golden dragon King Tyron and replied: "Of course, it is really a waste to lock up a black dragon!"

People are accustomed to using gold coupons, but not many people take gold coupons to the World Bank to exchange for gold. After all, gold is not consumed much other than for luxury goods.

The words of the Golden Dragon King Tyron once again surprised everyone, including the dragons.

Luke moved his body and said, "No, I'm not tired. I'm just thinking about how to make good use of the relationship I've established with the dragon clan.

In this way... this time it is not a personal grudge, but a game of national destiny that affects the life and death of the empire.

The Shuojin people do not have the largest fire crystal reserves in the world. The place with the most fire crystals is in the Dragon Kingdom. There is not yet a fire crystal mine in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, but there will be one soon.

"Deal! I will notify Raging Wave City as quickly as possible to select the best quality beef and send it to the Dragon Kingdom. The Imperial Palace will send the best royal chefs to cook delicious food for all the dragons."

Queen Christina and Agatha were waiting for Luke to speak, but Luke's mind was obviously not here. He stared at the pendulum of the clock nearby, wondering where his thoughts had flown to?

"Meteor..." Agatha whispered Luke's name. When he still didn't respond, she patted his hand on the armrest of the sofa.

The black dragon, who was resting and recovering from his injuries, stretched out his head from under his wings. He asked King Tyran in confusion: "My king, do you really want me to be insulted by these inferior creatures?"

In this situation, we cannot expect the other party to be moral and principled, let alone bet that the other party will not dare to do so.

Luke said: "Improve the international status of the Reichsmark and encourage merchants to use the Reichsmark for international trade through preferential policies; establish a free economic and trade zone centered on the Empire, and the currencies of the participating countries in the trade zone can be freely exchanged and used.

At this time, we cannot take the enemies within the palace lightly. We must prevent them from retaliating and destroying. Vent-type destruction often causes greater losses than a real coup.

There is also the St. Lun City branch of the World Bank. There is intelligence that a group of Shuojin people arrived quietly; other intelligence shows that officials met with the Shuojin people in private, but I don’t know what they talked about.

Although Queen Christina has never left the palace, she has her own judgment on the lurking crisis in the palace.

Luke and Agatha lead the team out of the steel mill.

The World Bank has recently canceled many cooperation projects, some of which are secret research and development projects carried out by the empire through private financing. The World Bank can accurately find them, indicating that someone has informed..."

Terminating part of a collaboration is a bad start, even if the Shuojin people give valid reasons.

The convoy escorted the black dragon Bale on foot back to St. Lun City.

The only thing that can shake the status of gold in the future is energy. Fire crystal is an energy source that has been found to be easy to mine and use. It is now widely used in various fields. In the future, the world's demand for fire crystal will increase.

Luke took Agatha to salute the Golden Dragon King Tyron: "We have received the goodwill from the Dragon Clan, and we will definitely repay it with goodwill. The Empire will arrange a formal meeting with the Dragon Clan as soon as possible. I hope the friendship between the Dragon Clan and the Golden Shield Empire will be strong and long-lasting."

Although I don’t know what kind of confrontation took place inside, it is not difficult to guess the final result from the fact that a black dragon was escorted.

Agatha said: "Before the spring war started, many people were waiting for the Snow Legion to be defeated by the Art County Alliance, so that they could take the opportunity to launch a coup and welcome Alec or Sinclair back to the imperial capital.

Luke had no choice but to explain: "The reason why gold coupons have become the world's currency is that one factor is the credit of the World Bank and the Shuojin people, and the other factor is that the Shuojin people control the largest number of gold mines with the largest reserves. A gold coupon can be used in the world at any time."

When a bank exchanges a unit of gold, as long as the status of gold as a general equivalent remains unchanged, the status of the World Bank will be difficult to shake.

I believe that Marquis of Falling Star will not really imprison a black dragon as a prisoner."

Then the eldest princess and the governor of the meteor bravely broke into the dragon's lair and made the dragon surrender.

Luke didn't even think about taking the black dragon away. Although there was a lesson learned from the demon tyrant, the demon tyrant was a loner and it was no problem to bully him. But behind the black dragon Bale was the entire dragon clan. It would certainly be a big deal if he was captured to serve his sentence.

It boosted Shenglun City's energy, but it greatly ruined the Dragon Clan's face.

Meteor returned to the imperial capital, and completely defeated the dragon as soon as he arrived, and all the undercurrents that had arisen in the imperial palace were lurking again.

This time Queen Christina and Agatha understood.

The golden dragon Tyran King returned the favor to Luke and Agatha with the dragons, and the black dragon Bale jumped down from the high base. The dragon's physique was indeed strong. The black dragon, which had just been sluggish by the magic bomb, now showed no signs of seriousness in its actions.

hinder.

But with the resurgence of turmoil among ancient civilizations, Shuojin people have become less principled.

Seven years is only a short moment in the life of a dragon, but for you, it may completely change your future destiny.

Nowadays, all fire crystal mine transactions in the international market use gold coupons. If at this time, the largest fire crystal mine supplier in the international market said: My fire crystal mine only accepts the currency of the Golden Shield Empire.

However, to everyone's surprise, the eldest princess Agatha and the governor of Raging Wave City, Marquis Falling Star, came out of the dragon's nest unscathed.

The Golden Dragon King Tyron said: "If you think this is an insult, treat this experience as an experience. Use your eyes to see the different world outside. Those lower creatures who are despised by us have made rules here, and

Have the ability to guard the rules.

Now the trend of the Northern War has completely subverted their predictions. The Snow Army has not allowed the Yate County Alliance to take any advantage. As the Raging Waves City fleet has gained control of the sea, the Northern War is gradually developing in a direction beneficial to the empire.

"Oh!" Luke came back to his senses and asked, "Where did you talk about?"

After Luke's reminder, Queen Christina and Agatha finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

The national prestige is so strong that it greatly boosts people's morale and morale.

First, Miss Qingkong defeated the angel in the sky above the palace.

This made the citizens who had been troubled by the dragon suddenly feel proud.

And if we want to win completely, we need to transition the world trading system from the gold standard to the energy standard."

"What should the Empire do?"

The current ruling structure of the empire, with the Empress of the Supervisor as its head, the eldest princess Agatha, and the Governor of Raging Waves City, Marquis Falling Star, as its core, can no longer be easily overthrown by internal factors within the palace.

Fire crystal mines are in urgent need. The higher the industrialization, the better the economy, and the more dependent on fire crystal mines are. At that time, the World Bank wanted to impose an economic blockade on the Golden Shield Empire, and countries that needed fire crystal mines were the first to refuse.

The important thing is... Fire crystal is a consumable material! Buy it when you use it up!

Whoever can stipulate what Huojing can be purchased with will be qualified to replace the World Bank."

The World Bank's sudden targeting of the empire is obviously aimed at the meteor.

"The palace seems to be stable now, but in fact some people are preparing to make a last-ditch effort. If they don't move, they may never have another chance."

Then countries that need fire crystal ore must trade with the empire in exchange for imperial marks, and then buy fire crystal ore.

In the palace, Queen Christina, Princess Agatha and Luke sat together and had a small meeting.

In this incident, except for the close associates who followed Luke and Agatha into the steel plant, outsiders have no idea what really happened inside.

They can only believe what they see.

The black dragon Bale admired the golden dragon King Tai Lun very much. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still nodded in agreement: "The black dragon Bale obeys your order."

"Let's talk about the cancellation of cooperation projects by the World Bank..." Agatha said with concern: "There are indeed a lot of things going on recently. If you are tired, go back and rest first."

By the way... you will take the black dragon Bale away and accept the punishment he deserves."

The arrogant and arrogant dragons who had been running rampant and domineering since they flew to Shenglun City gave up. They handed over the culprits who caused the deaths and promised not to do anything that would threaten the safety of ordinary citizens again.

For example: after the elder Shuojin was attacked and killed, any special things happened in Shenglun City. No matter how big or small the incident was, as long as it was unusual, collect them all and report them to Silver Manor.

First of all, we need to make it clear that although the Shuojin people have always stated that they do not interfere in politics, the World Bank can still influence the direction of many events even if it does nothing, not to mention that they have secretly done many things that violate their own principles.

.

Let's continue talking about the World Bank.

The officials and nobles whose interests have been harmed can only rely on the second prince Fania, the emperor's grandson Sinclair, and the ancient civilization that frequently changes.

As long as these two points are done well, the empire can create an economic barrier. Even if the World Bank initiates comprehensive sanctions, the empire can use this barrier to compete with the World Bank.

The Golden Dragon King Tyron nodded and said: "I probably know how to deal with you humans. That's it for today's meeting. We all need to prepare for the next meeting.

In fact, when countries begin to abolish metal currencies, the shortcomings of precious metals as currencies are no longer acceptable, but the inertia of thinking still makes people like to use gold to measure value.

For a long time, the World Bank has made gold certificates and silver certificates the world's currency with its good credibility and absolute neutrality. This impression is imprinted in everyone's mind, and they think it is a matter of course, even unquestionable.

Then, the World Bank is the biggest obstacle to the empire's future implementation of the world economic strategic layout. As long as the gold certificates and silver certificates issued by the World Bank are recognized as freely circulating currencies in the world, the World Bank can initiate comprehensive economic sanctions against the empire at any time. Although this level of economic sanctions

It will seriously shake the credibility of the World Bank, and the Shuojin people dare not initiate it easily now, but as long as the interests involved are enough, the Shuojin people will not hesitate to initiate it."

Shenglun City has regained its former prosperity. Now the citizens have no fear when they see the giant dragon flying over the city. Instead, they admire the majestic appearance of the dragon with full pride.

The eldest princess Agatha and the Governor of Raging Wave City, Marquis Falling Star, bravely broke into the steel factory occupied by the dragons. Soon there was a high-intensity magical confrontation in the steel factory, and the dragons hovered in the air and controlled the fire clouds to bombard downwards.

, the whole city garrison outside the steel factory pressed forward, and an all-out war between man and dragon was about to break out.

And what’s so good about gold coupons?

The gold circulation in the international market is so low, how can it be as good as fire crystal, which is burned every day and used every day.

Since we can't break the rules, we must abide by them.

The consumption of energy by industrialization has caused the status of fire crystals, which originally had little value, to rise rapidly. Not all countries have fire crystal mines, and those that have fire crystal mines may not be enough. If you don't have enough, you have to buy them.

The city garrison received the order, the combat readiness state was lifted, and all units returned to their bases.

Agatha asked Luke: "Has the ship from Raging Waves City to Dragon Kingdom left?"

Luke smiled and said: "It's already gone, carrying a ship full of frozen beef and mining equipment. The Golden Dragon King Tyran also sent three giant dragons to lead the way to ensure that the fleet could reach the Dragon Kingdom smoothly and stay in King Tyran's territory.

Mining fire crystal ore."

Queen Christina asked: "When will you meet King Tyran again? The empire needs to deepen its cooperation with the Dragon Kingdom, and it is best to achieve a comprehensive strategic alliance with the Fire Crystal Mine."

"I'm preparing. I believe the dragons are very happy to see the Shuojin people deflated."

What a turn of events!
