Chapter 1152 Roadside Restaurant
"Whoever controls the initiative in international trade controls the world!"

This sentence was said by Lynch a few years ago. At that time, Mr. Truman didn't have much feeling for this sentence, thinking that it might just be a way...to help other content to elevate emotions.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood the true meaning of this sentence.

Looking at those enthusiastic diplomats, they can't wait to become brothers with the Federation immediately. This is the benefit of controlling the trade initiative.

If these small countries want to develop and order, they cannot offend the Federation people. The more they rely on the Federation's orders, the more they will be unable to leave the Federation's control in the future.

Gafla's diplomat sat aside, his face was very ugly, but there was nothing he could do.

Oppose?

There's a good chance he'll be called out, thereby getting Gafla out of the organization.

He could only sit silently and feel the uncomfortable feeling, as if there were thousands of bugs in his body, crawling around and biting his body!

After talking about trade for a while, Mr. Truman turned to the issue of monetary order.

"The silver currency of the Silver Alliance this time actually reminded us that the stability of major international currencies, especially the settlement currency, is very important."

"A few days ago, the exchange rate between the silver currency and their allied countries was still very high, and they waved banknotes to buy them internationally, but now..."

Mr. Truman shook his head regretfully, "Those things have become worthless!"

"Many countries, including us, have been affected by this turmoil. Some merchants in the Federation also sold their products to them in exchange for those..."

He chuckled twice, full of contempt and disdain, "So we need to stabilize the currency exchange rate system and use a stable currency as the main settlement currency within our organization."

After he gave everyone a chance to think and buffer their thoughts, he continued, "I don't know if you have noticed, but compared with the rapid rise and fall of silver, the performance of gold is actually very stable."

"The Silver Alliance has many problematic policies, but I think there is one decision that is more in line with the current international situation, and that is the benchmarking of currencies and precious metals."

He pursed his lips, picked up his glass and took a sip of water, "What we need is a stable currency relationship, not a skyrocketing or plummeting exchange rate because of a certain policy. It is feasible to link currencies to precious metals."

"But it can't be silver, we all know...", he smiled, "Silver is worthless!"

The diplomats also smiled amusedly.

"So what we want to target is gold..." Mr. Truman glanced at Lynch who was sitting at the bottom of the table. This "Gold Alliance" plan was originally proposed by Lynch.

It is too in line with the current development trend, and after several discussions within the federal government, it was passed quickly.

None of the difficult senators in Congress raised any objections to this plan. This is a rare "unanimous bill" with five abstentions and all the remaining votes in favor of passing.

Abstention is to prove that the congressional vote is fair and just and...free. It is a symbol. If someone does not have to abstain from the vote, it is really a unanimous vote.

At this time, the real founder of the plan was looking at the document seriously like an ordinary participant, which made Mr. Truman feel very funny.

"Federal Sol will be benchmarked against gold, and we will announce the exchange rate and adjustment cycle later. During the cycle, anyone...", he stretched out a finger, emphasizing, "Anyone can start from the Federal The bank or even the treasury, exchange it for the equivalent value of gold!"

“Of course, we determined that the exchange rate price of the Federal Sol is not entirely based on gold. We also refer to the weight of various aspects such as technology and social development. These will be disclosed in a larger meeting later. "

The credit currency system has not yet been fully established, and the reason is that the status of various countries in the world fluctuates greatly.

Anytime, anywhere, due to some changes, the exchange rate may change greatly. This situation makes "credit" sometimes not so "credible".

Under the background that the world pattern is still changing and catalyzing greater changes, it is difficult to build a credit currency system.

No one can believe that the federation has always been at the forefront of the world, and the era of Gefla has come to an end. There is no guarantee that the era of the federation will not end in the future.

Therefore, under the background of this society and the times, it is the most suitable choice to benchmark and link with precious technology.

No matter how the status of the country changes, at least the price of gold does not fluctuate much.

Even if it was affected so violently this time, it only fell by more than 20.00% and less than 30.00%. This is the result of some crazy groups suppressing it.

It won't be long before it will rise back up, and it will rise back up naturally.

This is different from silver. Once it falls, there is no chance to get up again.

In addition to the weighting of technology and output value, it is also a reasonable reason for weighting. As a country’s national strength continues to increase, the purchasing power of currency will naturally increase. This is a very complicated calculation process, and those in the federal government can solve it.

This meeting, it is not the final resolution meeting.

Mr. Truman's words undoubtedly told these people that the Federal Sol will become the main settlement currency in this alliance.

Don't look at the expression on the face of diplomat Gafla as if a relative died suddenly, other countries actually didn't have much reaction to this proposal.

The birth of "Alliance Currency" has made them realize the value and benefits of this alliance currency.

Otherwise, they will always have to face the various negative effects of the exchange rate on the surplus and deficit. With a unified currency, no matter whether it is import or export, regardless of the surplus or deficit, the impact will be reduced to a certain extent.

Coupled with the trade matching within the alliance, it greatly enhances trade exchanges and reduces various losses caused by currencies and currencies.

At this time, a diplomat suddenly put forward an idea, "Mr. Truman, as a member state, can our currency exchange rate float with reference to the float of the Federal Sol?"

Mr. Truman froze for a moment, then looked at Lynch, and Lynch also raised his head to look at Mr. Truman.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and then Lynch shook his head slightly, and Mr. Truman shook his head immediately, "This question is rather troublesome, it involves a lot of content, and we need serious discussions before we can come to an accurate conclusion. "

Euphemistically rejected, the diplomat who proposed the idea smiled, and there was no obvious disappointment.

The floating exchange rate is actually a very market-oriented behavior. Currency itself is a commodity and must abide by the rules of the free market.

Unless, like the Federation, they can provide sufficient gold reserves and floating parameters such as weighted national power output value, it is generally not recommended to have any reference for the exchange rate of any currency.

This will have a terrible impact on both sides. Whoever has evil thoughts first, then the people on the other side will be unlucky first.

Of course, it may be more effective to hold together at certain times, but this is only suitable for political needs at special times and at special stages, and it cannot always be like this. That is an abnormal currency relationship.

At this point in the discussion of the meeting, there is not much to say. After answering some detailed questions, the meeting ended.

It is just a simple mobilization, and each diplomat will have to discuss with the political subjects behind them before they can get a definite answer.

How to participate and the degree of participation need to be discussed before there can be results.

At twelve o'clock, Lynch and Mr. Truman came out of the building of the Ministry of International Affairs. The two took a car and stopped at a restaurant in the city center that was not closed after driving for a while.

A very average restaurant.

Bupain has too many night workers, besides the girls, there are a lot of normal clerks and such.

They need to show their value as soon as possible in the office, so they will work up late.

After midnight, people will feel hungry, and they urgently need to eat.

These small restaurants are prepared for these people, thanks to the fact that Bupain's security environment is better than other cities-this place is only limited to the city center.

It is still not recommended to leave the house after [-]:[-] pm outside the city center, but the city center is still very lively at night and relatively safe.

There are still some shops open.

Lynch stopped the car, looked at the restaurant on the side of the road through the car window, and looked back at Mr. Truman, "Eat something?"

Mr. Truman hesitated, "I'm keeping fit, my wife says I've gained weight..."

"There's a barbecue, I saw the menu."

Mr. Truman was silent for a while, then opened the car door, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Lynch also got out of the car with a smile on his face.

The restaurant is run by a foreigner. It looks a bit...shabby and not upscale. It should be an earlier immigrant.

"Two beef ribs, one pork sausage each, what else do you want?" Lynch looked at Mr. Truman.

The latter looked at the menu and hesitated, "Let's have some more vegetables, we should maintain a healthy eating habit."

"Then add a serving of vegetables!" Lynch said as he took out his wallet, "How much?"

"18 yuan."

After Lynch paid 20 yuan and said that he didn't need to look for it, he found a table next to him.

Two Blackstone security employees walked into the store and into the back hall. They needed to watch the cooking process without being tampered with, and at the same time, pay attention not to enter the back door.

There are security committee agents watching at the door, which is extremely safe.

"Do you think the Gefra people can play tricks?" Mr. Truman asked after the two lit a cigarette.

Lynch was smoking a cigarette and was pocketing a lighter, which made his answer somewhat ambiguous, "Of course they will, they will definitely not watch us build an alliance."

"But we don't need to be overly nervous, they will soon run out of time and energy to pay attention to us."

Mr. Truman was a little surprised, "What happened?"
