Blackstone Code

The future scenery described by Lynch fascinated Mr. Trueman. He hoped that the Federation would be a powerful country, and he even hoped that he could become a president of this country!

Yes, he never told anyone his thoughts, he kept them deep in his heart.

When the president had no choice but to compromise in the face of the oppression of capital, he knew that if he kept relying on others, the federal political system would never evolve.

Some social problems that have existed for a long time will never be changed.

The best way to change this status quo is to make a change, a change, and he must also have the supreme power of this country!

Otherwise... Just like last time, those capitalists have countless ways to make him lower his head.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little "thirsty", eager for the future, eager for Lynch's description, and eager for power!

"But we can't let people from other countries print new federal sols. They won't do that unless we make them part of us."

At this time, he did not hide his more radical ideas. Soldiers are always like this and will be more radical in some aspects.

The initial education they received was to tell them that they should listen to whoever has the biggest fist.

If someone doesn't obey, beat them until they obey.

Lynch shook his head, "As long as they use Federal Sol, we can achieve this goal."

"Why are they using Federal Sol?", Mr. Trueman asked quickly.

Lynch answered quickly, “Because we can promote the Federal Sol to become an international settlement currency.”

"You can propose to Mr. President and Congress that the Federal Sol be the settlement currency for international trade."

"And now, we have a great opportunity!"

Mr. Trueman seemed to already know what Lynch was talking about, "You mean arms sales?"

Lynch nodded, "Yes, but this is just one of them, arms sales. Add a clause in the negotiation. The Federation's foreign military sales only accept payment in Federal Soles and refuse payment in other currencies. This will be the case in the future. .”

"Increasing the weight of the federal sol in the international currency market will only benefit us and have no harm."

Mr. Trueman knows this truth. When everyone is using Federal Sol, any policy adjustment may affect the whole world.

But he also has a question, "Why do others use our currency? They can exchange some when needed."

"Because Federal Sol is more stable..." Lynch paused here and then directed the topic elsewhere, "Do you know about some of the recent fluctuations in the precious metals market?"

Mr. Trueman nodded, "Yes, I know. It is said that the price of silver has increased many times."

Lynch nodded and gave a more accurate number, "More than ten times!"

"Before silver prices did not rise, every country had the habit of hoarding gold, and before that, most of the world implemented a gold standard system..."

Mr. Trueman has heard of the term gold standard system and has a little understanding of it. He knows that it probably refers to a system in which currency is linked to gold, such as "gold coins."

The currency in some places, especially coins, contains gold in terms of material. A little, or a circle, or most of it is made of gold.

Before the advent of paper money, this phenomenon existed in the currency of the Commonwealth, starting at least with gold from the nickel.

The gold is a pinhead-sized star located in the upper center on the back of the coin.

A one-dollar coin has a gold ring of pure gold on the outside of the front of the coin.

If someone finds that the gold on the coin has disappeared during the transaction, they can reject it and call the police.

In some places, they simply use silver or gold to mint coins. Of course, the coins they mint are relatively thin, and the thinnest ones are not much thicker than a piece of paper.

Until the birth of paper money.

In fact, the current paper currency is not entirely a credit currency, because the current federal paper currency system is a currency system based on another gold standard.

It is not a pure gold standard because there is no visible or measurable gold in paper currency.

But people can use paper money to go to the bank and cash in the corresponding gold directly. Therefore, at the beginning of the birth of paper money, some people called paper money "gold certificates" or "gold exchange certificates."

Because money can be exchanged for gold, many times these "banknotes" are only regarded as a certificate used to exchange for gold.

This is actually the case even now, but people can not only "exchange" gold directly from banks, but can also "exchange" gold with banknotes in some gold and silver jewelry stores.

No one will question the value of these banknotes, because it has broken away from simple "credit" and has become a multi-faceted expression of wealth.

People never doubt the currency in their hands!

"...Even now, the currencies of various countries are more or less related to gold."

"Gold continues to increase in value, and the purchasing power of currency continues to increase. Of course, this is without additional issuance."

“Now there are new precious metals on the market that are challenging the status of gold, which is actually not a good thing for the monetary systems of various countries.”

"The gold monetary system that people have spent decades and hundreds of years building is collapsing. Once silver replaces gold, do you know what will happen?"

Mr. Trueman shook his head, "I don't know. I don't specialize in this."

"The entire world's monetary order will collapse and the exchange rate will be chaotic. Some countries may insist on the relationship between gold and the current currency, and some countries may try to implement a dual-track system, using old or new currencies to lock silver and gold respectively."

"No matter what they do, the exchange rate in international trade is chaotic. You can't normally settle the exchange rate between two countries with different reference objects."

"If at this time, there is a currency that can stand out stably..."

Lynch smiled softly, "What do you think they will do?"

Mr. Trueman slowly realized the wonder of what Lynch said, "If it were me, I would find a way to anchor the currency I use with this stable currency to a certain extent in terms of exchange rate, at least But also to build closer relationships.”

"But if the price of gold collapses, we should also be greatly affected. Why won't the Federal Sol be in chaos?"

The smile on Lin Qi's face became weird. He took out another cigarette, lowered his head to fold it, opened the cigarette case, took out one, put it in his mouth, and lit it...

After a clear and long ding sound, he closed the lighter cover, and as he raised his head, a puff of smoke came out of his mouth.

Through the smoke, Mr. Trueman saw a smile... like a mocking smile, "For victory will be on our side."

Mr. Trueman didn't seem to understand. He looked at Lynch patiently.

"In fact, it is very simple. Science, technology, and military equipment can all serve as a guarantee for the stability of the federal Sol exchange rate, and we will re-establish an international monetary system with gold as the core."

"Technology and productivity are the most critical strengths we can bring to the table!"

"Now people buy a bullet from the feds, let's say it costs twenty-five federal soles."

"When the 'disaster' strikes and they still need twenty-five points of federal Sol to buy a bullet, they will realize the stability of Federal Sol!"

Mr. Trueman seemed to understand somewhat, but seemed to understand nothing at all, "Because we only accept federal Sol's settlement?"

Lynch nodded, then shook his head, "The chaos will not last long. If we attack the silver market, raise gold again, stabilize the price of gold, and establish a more accurate exchange system."

"Let people see the Federal Sol's ability to withstand risks and our control over the world economy. What will they do?"

"They will increase the foreign exchange reserves of the Federal Sol, which is what we hope. The more they store, the easier it will be for us to control the world's economy."

Mr. Trueman interrupted Lynch briefly, "Like what we did to Nagaril!"

"Yes!"

Mr. Trueman thought about this matter seriously. In fact, the overall matter is not as simple as Lynch said. It also involves many very complicated situations.

But that didn't stop him from seriously considering the matter.

"So... what does this have to do with what you said at the beginning?" Mr. Trueman asked, "What does this have to do with us making money?"

Lynch took a puff of the cigarette, crossed his legs, and turned slightly sideways. He blew out the cigarette with a half-smile, "Because I plan to snipe Bai Yin!"

"Before that, I plan to attack gold first and let gold plummet. The plummet of gold will cause the capital of various countries, and even the government, to adjust their gold reserves in order to avoid risks."

"And this will also shake up the drastic changes in their national currencies in the international currency exchange rate market. When people focus more on silver..."

Lynch chuckled a few times, "We can eat cheap gold while sniping at silver, so that silver and gold, two things that have dominated the world's monetary value for many years, will lose their role in a short period of time!"

"Any currency that uses these two precious metals as a reference for the actual value of currency... will be completely confused!"

"According to my understanding, more than 90% of the countries in the world use these two precious metals as a guarantee of currency value!"

Mr. Trueman was silent for a long time after hearing this, and Lynch did not urge him.

About seven or eight minutes later, Mr. Trueman also lit a cigarette, "Actually, at the end of the day, you still want to make money, right?"

Lynch pointed at him with a smile, "I can't fool you, and I am also a patriotic person!"

By shorting gold, shorting silver, or even buying some gold when the price is low, Lynch will definitely make a lot of money.

And the federation will pay for what he does, that's the key.

But Mr. Trueman couldn't refuse the offer because it was too tempting.

He will not object to anything that is good for the country and the people.
