Golden Valley Prison.曘

The cell door where Tan was held was opened, and a Shuojin elder walked in.

The elder waved his hand for the guard outside to close the cell door, and then said to Tan: "Tan, the elders have a task for you."

Tan stood up, the shackles clashed with a clanging sound, she saluted the elder, and then asked: "Elder Lie, what is your mission?"

Elder Lie replied: "Go to hell!"

Tan looked at the elder and asked doubtfully: "We don't seem to have any contact with hell, and those demons don't seem to have any interest in areas outside hell. What happened in hell, is it worthy for the elders to send me there?"

Elder Lie said seriously: "The fallen angels who have disappeared for thousands of years appeared. Sky City sent the Holy Judgment Angels into hell to search for traces of fallen angels. Then the angels discovered a very strange thing in hell."

"What's the matter?"

"A large number of weapons and armor made of high-temperature-resistant materials have appeared in hell. You know that hell cannot make such things. There must be people in the secular world secretly supplying arms to hell. And those who have the ability to make the kind of things in hell

There are not many areas in the secular world where weapons can be used in high-temperature environments.”

Tan's gray eyes gained some sparkle: "Elder Lie, do you suspect that the Golden Shield Empire is secretly supplying arms to Hell?"

Elder Lie nodded and said: "Yes! Hell's mineral resources are very rich. Those who sell arms to Hell must be interested in Hell's resources. Now the industrial scale of Nutao City consumes a lot of resources, and according to the Nutao City branch,

According to statistics, a large number of resources of unknown origin continue to be imported into Nutao City.

The Golden Shield Empire already has the right to mine the Fire Crystal of the Dragon Kingdom. If it can still obtain mineral resources from hell, our assessment of the Golden Shield Empire's strength and potential may have been seriously wrong."

After listening to Elder Lie's words, Tan was silent for a while, and then said: "Investigating whether the Golden Shield Empire sells arms to hell, it should not require me to go to hell. Did the Elders Council make this decision to let me leave the Golden Valley?

Go somewhere out of the way."

Now that Tan understood the intention of the Elders Council, Elder Lie said truthfully: "The negotiations between the World Bank and the Golden Shield Empire are progressing very slowly now. Meteorite requires us to hand over all the people who assassinated him. Of course the Council of Elders will not hand you over.

Meteor, but after Elder Chun was assassinated in Shenglun City, the Golden Shield Empire killed the Shadow Clan assassin and handed the body to us.

The third round of negotiations is about to begin. If Meteorite puts forward unfavorable conditions for the World Bank on this matter, the elders will be very embarrassed. Therefore, the Elders Council decided to let you leave the Golden Valley. It just so happens that the Hell Unknown Arms Incident also needs capable Shuojin people.

Go investigate."

Tan said expressionlessly: "If this is the decision of the Council of Elders, as a Shuojin person, I will definitely obey it. If it is confirmed that the arms flowing to hell are indeed from the Golden Shield Empire, what should I do?"

Elder Lie said: "Now the Elders Council does not have high expectations for properly handling the energy and monetary policy of the Golden Shield Empire. Because no matter what the outcome of this negotiation is, curbing the development of the Golden Shield Empire will be a problem for the world for a long time.

The bank’s primary job.

The 'League of Nations' led by the World Bank is under preparation, and the Golden Shield Empire has also proposed a confrontational 'free trade body'. Trade and military conflicts will gradually become the norm, attacking the supply of foreign materials to the Golden Shield Empire, and at the same time, the development of hell will become ours.

The source of material supply is your job."

Tan understood the intention of the Elder Council.

The Dragon Kingdom, which provides fire crystals to the Golden Shield Empire, is not a place that the Shuojin people can easily get their hands on. Although the Dragon Kingdom is a scattered group of dragons, they are united externally, but Hell is a real nest of fighting.

If it were not a war of genocide like ancient wars, the demons would not be able to unite.

Therefore, there is much more operating space in Hell than in Dragon Kingdom.

If the camp confrontation really starts, the supplies obtained by the two camps from the outside world will decrease sharply, and Hell, the source of raw minerals, will become particularly important.

Tan said: "I will leave for hell immediately."

Seeing that Tan was so considerate of the overall situation, Elder Lie nodded happily and said: "The entry of angels into hell has alarmed the demons and devils in hell. In order to prevent stress reactions in hell, you cannot reveal the identity of Shuojin. The World Bank will give

You will have a brand new identity, and a human trade team will be formed for you. Remember that you are an arms middleman, and do not casually participate in the battles within hell.

Understand?"

After the angels appear in hell, the golden man appears again, which can easily remind the old demons of ancient wars.

Therefore, Shuojin people must keep a low profile when entering hell.

Tan nodded and said: "I understand. Give hell weapons and let the demons and demons kill each other. The more powerful they kill, the greater the demand for arms. We are only middlemen and will never participate in the battles in hell.

We will never reveal the identity of Shuo Jin."

"Very good!" Elder Lie stepped forward and patted Tan on the shoulder: "You are the best Shuojin person in the next generation, and Ying is responsible for the development of the magic difference machine. You and Ying will become the cornerstone of Shuojin civilization.

Practice well and stabilize your mind, and there will be a place for you in the Presbytery."

"Thank you elders for your trust!"

"Come on, you don't belong in the cell. Go see the shadows and then go to hell immediately."

"As you command!"

…

Since the time for the third round of talks between the Golden Shield Empire and the World Bank was determined, the originally oppressive and suffocating atmosphere in the Golden Valley has finally eased a lot. The two sides' propaganda and wooing of the "Free Trade Body" and the "International Alliance" have also lost their initial intensity.

Momentum.昘

In the same place, with the same layout, representatives from the Golden Shield Empire and the World Bank sat down.

The elders of the Shuojin people did not wait for the Golden Shield Empire to find trouble, and took the lead in proposing a solution to the energy currency dispute.

The World Bank requires all energy transactions controlled by the Golden Shield Empire to use gold certificates as the only common currency. In exchange, the World Bank recognizes the Golden Shield Empire's dominant position in the energy market and allows the Reichsmark to become the universal currency for international trade of some minerals and industrial products.

currency.

At the same time, the World Bank can indefinitely suspend the investment agreement it signed with Yate County United earlier, and then provide an interest-free loan worth 20 billion Reichsmarks and a donation worth 1 billion Reichsmarks to the Golden Shield Empire.

The World Bank is also willing to carry out seamless and comprehensive cooperation with the Golden Shield Empire in all industries and fields.

Elder Mu finally explained: "First Assistant of the Meteor Star, you should have seen the panic caused in the Golden Valley these days. The World Bank has realized that the Golden Shield Empire is a powerful country that cannot be ignored, and please recognize the Shuojin Civilization

It is a powerful ancient civilization.

The ancient wars that have broken out clearly tell us that there is no winner in confrontation and fighting in the end. Only by mutual respect and mutual cooperation can we move forward in peace.昘

The Shuojin people are willing to regard the Golden Shield Empire as our equal friends, and hope that the Golden Shield Empire will not destroy the existing stable trade system and push the world step by step into disaster."

Luke looked at the proposal document given to him by the Sparkling Man.

Yesterday, Yinlai informed that Tan was performing a very important mission and had left the Golden Valley. Therefore, the investigation into the assassination could only be temporarily suspended. When Tan returns from the mission, the Elders Council will restart the investigation.

The notification came just before the third meeting. The Shuojin people were sure that they would not ruin the scheduled third meeting.

After all, the outside world has very high expectations for this meeting.

After reading the document, Luke asked in a low voice the opinions of Yaomington's staff.

Then he said to Elder Mu: "I see from your suggestions that the World Bank is very sincere, and the Golden Shield Empire has never had the idea of ​​bringing the world into confrontation. It just uses gold coupons as the universal currency for energy transactions.

It is a very big burden on the empire's financial system.

Here are the Golden Shield Empire’s import and export statements for the most recent quarter, as well as an analysis by Imperial Bank financial analysts on the security of the treasury’s foreign currency reserves.”

Luke took the document that Yomington gave him, pushed it to Elder Mu, and continued: "I said that the formulation of the Golden Shield Empire's energy and monetary policy was not to challenge the World Bank's position in international trade. It was really out of

Considerations for our country’s financial security.

It is useless for us to reserve excess gold certificates, even if they are all converted into gold."

Elder Mu looked at the reports and analysis tables given by the Golden Shield Empire.

With its strong industrial capabilities and pioneering innovation capabilities, the Golden Shield Empire has always maintained a trade surplus in international transactions. In the past year, Nutao City has received an astonishing amount of international orders from its shipbuilding manufacturing industry alone, and has made a lot of money.

Moreover, the Golden Shield Empire has a vast territory and rich products, and has many overseas colonies, and the speed of wealth accumulation is very alarming.

The empire's treasury already has a considerable amount of gold certificates stored in it. If we continue to obtain gold certificates from the energy market, it will not be helpful to the empire but will be harmful.昘

After reading it, Elder Mu said lightly: "The Golden Shield Empire can use the excess gold certificates for overseas investment. If it is too troublesome, it can also be handed over to the World Bank for management. Many countries have done this, and they have made profits."

Luke smiled and said: "Elder Shepherd, I am talking to you about financial sovereignty, but you are talking to me about profits. The World Bank has proven with actions that you are not as neutral as you claim to be. When the World Bank believes that it is being challenged,

When the time comes, you will not hesitate to use the financial hegemony possessed by the World Bank.

Now you still want the empire to hand over the gold coupons to you for operation, do you really think that we are all fools?

After returning to the Empire from the Golden Valley this time, I will order the Imperial Bank to reduce the reserve amount of gold certificates. Finance is only safe if it is in one's own hands, so the Empire's current energy and monetary policy will not change.

The suggestions given by the World Bank are not feasible, so let’s take a look at ours.”

Luke throws out the solution given by the Empire.

The Golden Shield Empire transfers 10% of its energy to the World Bank at a low price, and the World Bank can operate it at will. The World Bank has no right to interfere with how the Golden Shield Empire sells the remaining energy.

The World Bank immediately terminates any assistance to Yate County United.

Cancel the new maritime anti-monopoly trade bill and dissolve the "Union of Nations".

The Golden Shield Empire suspends the formation of the "free trade body" and respects the status of gold bonds in international trade.

…

If the World Bank obtains 10% of the energy transferred by the Golden Shield Empire at a low price, plus the energy it currently controls, its proportion in the international energy market will still be very large. However, the energy transactions controlled by the Golden Shield Empire will still

You can rely on the chain effect to make the Reich Mark a threat to gold coupons.

The reason why hegemony is hegemony is that challengers are never allowed to exist.

Gold certificates, a currency based on the value of gold, cannot withstand the impact of a second currency.

Elder Mu threw away the suggestion in his hand and said: "The World Bank requires gold coupons to become the only common currency in the energy market. This does not allow any change and there is no room for negotiation. I believe that the Golden Shield Empire earns gold coupons and will spend them as long as they want to.
