Extraordinary Sailing

The capital of the Low Countries, Antwerp.

In the House of Lords, which represents the true center of power in this country, all eighty members of the House of Lords have arrived.

It's just like every day in the past six months, it's hard to see any smiles on the faces of these well-dressed big shots.

The people on the street outside are bustling with people, and it seems that the normal economic order has gradually returned to normal, but only they know that many things have changed.

In the last tulip bubble and the subsequent wave of bankruptcies caused by the "tightening of money", a large number of high-quality assets in the entire country: mines, plantations, shipyards, factories, trading companies... were bought at the bottom.

Especially under the leadership of Aiwen, the Tulip Alliance, which had been prepared for a long time, ate the biggest piece of fat.

Faletis, who saw the opportunity, even bought the largest Halliburton Iron and Steel Company in the Lowlands at a price equivalent to almost one-twentieth of the original price.

The subsequent value of these industries will never be less than the value of the wealth that Ivan harvested directly from the lowlands.

Advocating bubbles, strong shorting, and extreme bottom-hunting. Ivan's whole set of methods has indeed taught them a good lesson.

The only good news is that the big bankers and big capitalists in the "Eye of Fortune" have industries all over the world, and they are all powerful multinational capital.

Although there was a big bloodshed in the financial crisis, it would not be a setback.

The most important thing is that the "credit" that is the foundation of their life has once again withstood the test. Their savings business in various countries has gradually become bullish, and half a year has allowed them to relax a bit.

But whether it can fight another turnaround depends on today's resolution.

In the anticipation of everyone.

The Speaker of the House of Lords, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Netherlands Bank Group, Saint William Orange walked briskly onto the rostrum.

Raising his arms high, he announced the final news to everyone excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, rejoice, the House of Commons and the government have unanimously passed the "Central Bank Act", authorizing us to establish a private central bank, and we have obtained the only right to issue currency in the Lowlands!"

call--!

The entire venue breathed a sigh of relief, as if a gust of wind had blown, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on the faces of all the big shots.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Immediately, warm applause flooded everyone present.

All because of the significance of this resolution, it is too important for them.

Since last winter, a lot of wealth in precious metals has been harvested in the "tulip bubble".

The shortage of metal currency and the inconvenience of replacing physical currency (cloth, grain...) have seriously affected the normal operation of the Lowland Republic.

This also prompted them to jump out of the traditional thinking that has lasted for thousands of years, and started a brand-new attempt, that is, the government printed and issued banknotes as the unified and standard legal tender of the "Low Countries".

The biggest difference between this kind of paper money and the gold bills that have existed and circulated for a long time is that it does not have any gold or silver objects as collateral, and it is a complete government credit currency.

Because everyone in society needs to pay taxes to the government, and as long as the government accepts this banknote as a proof of tax payment, it has the basic elements of circulation in the market.

Credit-based buying and selling enables merchants to settle their mutual credit balances on a monthly or annual basis, which will greatly reduce the inconvenience of the original transaction.

And when these private banks replace the government to control this gate, the benefits they can get from it are far from what they lost in the previous "tulip bubble"!

There are no fools among the big bankers, and they only made major mistakes due to the limitations of the times and vision.

This "tulip bubble" also provided them with a new way of thinking, that is to actively trigger the financial crisis and harvest leeks!

They just need to play the role of Ivan before.

Opening the gates to release water, raising fish in ponds, tightening monetary policy, or excessive currency issuance, inflation, reasonable robbery, and transactions without capital are not so straightforward.

As long as we have the right to issue currency, we don't have to care who makes the law!

"Everyone, the first batch of sample coins has been produced.

Now we not only have the government's national debt backing, but the great "God of Capital and Wealth" will also endorse it with divine power! "

William Orange clapped his hands, and his own staff sent some yellow-green banknotes to the hands of each congressman.

On the front of the first banknote is printed: a compass with open feet and a square with an upward opening, surrounded by a pure gold eye in the middle, which is the emblem and code name of their association - "Eye of Wealth".

On the back is the holy emblem of the "God of Capital and Wealth".

It looks like a sharp long sword erected. At the two ends of the sword jaw are a combination of money and means of production such as gold, land, factories, raw materials, etc., and at the other end are countless human beings who are working.

The overall meaning is "the order of the new world", and the name is Florin.

"Then Mr. Speaker, of course Florin can travel within the Republic, but the Lowland Republic is too small after all. How can it be widely recognized internationally?"

"That's right, all currencies should be linked to the corresponding commodities. Although the Lowland Republic is already a commodity-exporting country second only to the 'Tulip Alliance', its influence is still not enough."

"."

It is about the great cause of the international bankers, and they cannot help being careless.

Everyone's eyes are not limited to the small place of the Low Countries, but look at the whole world, and do not rule out using their own influence to copy and profit in other countries.

Because the real "low republic" is a "deep state", in other words, the "eyes of wealth big capital association" is the real master and ruling class of the country.

In other words, no matter how turbulent and depressed the "Low Countries" are, it will not affect the strength of the "Commonwealth".

Even if the land and population of the lowlands cease to exist, the "Community" can still find new hosts to continue maintaining the new order.

Capitalists have no country!

Now they have mastered all the economic lifelines of the country, including the central bank, and are the real richest group.

These include industrial trust giants, banking and financial oligarchs, military industry oligarchs, investment giants, agricultural giants, business giants, media tycoons, etc., as well as big capitalist families that have been deployed throughout the world for hundreds of years.

The secret of the "Low Countries" being able to gain huge influence and potential power at the very beginning of its establishment does not lie in its system or national strength, but in the fact that the real union itself is a ruling class in the form of a supranational organization.

To put it more directly, the real national power of the lowland republics exists in the form of "transnational corporations", and the multinational corporations are the real state departments of the lowlands.

For example, among the bigwigs in the House of Lords present here.

Private banks headed by the Netherlands Banking Consortium belong to the Ministry of Finance; "Caterpillar Industries" is similar to the Bureau of Industry; "McKesson Pharmaceuticals" is similar to the Bureau of Medicine;

Raytheon Military Industry itself is the Ministry of National Defense, and the institutions of higher learning headed by Reading Henry Business School are all private enterprises, which are equivalent to the Ministry of Education, cultivating and attracting talents from all over the world for the company consortium.

In turn, government agencies are only the spokespersons and executive agencies for the interests of these "de facto departments".

Everything is for maximizing profit!

"Haha, good question, here is another proposal.

Let me invite Mr. Strauss, the chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, to give you an explanation. "

William Orange gave up the rostrum to another middle-aged man who looked harmless to humans and animals and had an artistic air.

If Aiwen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. This is the "performer" Strauss under the command of the "God of Music and Opera".

He bowed gracefully to this group of rich and powerful figures, and then explained the next step in a voice that seemed to be bewitched by nature:

"Our next project is called "Flowers of Liberty and Democracy."

The members of parliament, however, had their eyes lit up.

Planning is not complicated.

Next, taking advantage of the advantages of multinational organizations, they will make a high-profile claim:

Provide loans to 200,000 factories in various countries within five years; train 300,000 factory owners and financial elites; improve the literacy rate of people in various countries; help countries train more than 100,000 excellent teachers in three years; reduce by half in the next ten years illiteracy.

External support is mainly divided into two directions.

One is the "Golden Palm Federation" composed of Nemansters, Atrians, and Anumas in the south of the New World.

Of course, to provide loans to the "Golden Palm Federation", a potential stock with a vast land, these banknotes will not be transported there deliberately, but will be exchanged for various equipment and materials in the Lowland Republic on the spot.

It not only supports the fraternal countries, but also boosts its own economy.

It is equivalent to using the national debt of the "Low Country Republic" and the "Federation of the Palme d'Or" to jointly support the "Florin", allowing these "waste paper" to break through the country at once.

The other direction is the many small countries on the source continent.

All these measures sound like good things that benefit the country and the people, and no country would refuse them.

But at the same time.

The "National Endowment for Democracy" will march under the banner of democracy and freedom, turning newspapers, poets, singers, politicians, and students into leading parties, advocating the current civilization and prosperity of the Lowland Republic.

To put it bluntly, these supports are dog food and feed.

Starting from the three major directions of political ideology, economic lifeline, and cultural education, the knife is fatal.

The "Golden Palm Federation", which has been secretly controlled, is relatively better, and will gradually "peacefully" transition.

When the people of the mainland countries were delighted, thinking that they could make a fortune by following this emerging commercial country, they didn't know that there would be a boundless abyss waiting for them.

Because when the fortress is really breached from the inside, it is when the "Eye of Wealth" pushes the flood of capital to sweep away everything, grasping their economic lifeline at the fastest speed, and devouring everything with endless greed!

On the surface, everyone has a sacred vote, they can choose their favorite democratic leaders, and then decide the fate of the country.

And for the sake of votes, it is natural for democratic leaders to work hard to improve the national welfare and seek the well-being of every voter after they come to power.

but.

In fact, "democracy and freedom" has nothing to do with wealth at all. The most fundamental problem is still the contradiction between limited resources and unlimited population.

"Second! It is our mission to let the countries bloom with the flowers of democracy and freedom!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

O Liberty, how many crimes have been committed in your name?
