Chapter 766 Is This Also Trouble?
His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire looked at the Prime Minister sitting at the bottom, with a calm face that made it impossible to understand his truest thoughts.

Either agree or disagree.

The prime minister frowned lightly, this idea was a bit beyond his expectation.

In his opinion, the easiest way to solve this turmoil is to "kill" a group of businessmen, and then let the nobles cooperate with him, and things will stabilize.

The direct benefit of getting rid of a group of disobedient businessmen with their own ideas is that there will be sufficient funds and materials in a short period of time, and it can also deter some opportunists.

The reason why this turmoil can be so big and cover such a wide area is that the merchants are also responsible.

These guys who only have interests in their eyes never think about whether they will bring some disasters to the country by doing this or that. They just want to reach out and grab the money and put it in their pockets.

They have to pay for what they did, this is Gefla, not Federation.

Solving the problems caused by these merchants will alleviate some other problems in the society caused by the run, and the value of both materials and funds is very strong during this period.

This kind of expression may make people somewhat confused. To put it simply, materials are not abundant, and in an era of social turmoil, even if some commodities are used as money to pay, people will not refuse.

In the simplest example, the towel factory uses towels to offset wages, and the electric light factory uses light bulbs to offset wages. The workers are not dissatisfied with this, and even feel that they have made money because they get more products.

As for the nobles, he is not worried. He will go to the Privy Council when he is free recently. The old nobles have a good friendship with him, and they have understood each other's thoughts during this time.

In recent years, the imperial power of the nobles has been suppressed quite badly, and it is true that a minister of power is needed to check and balance the emperor's power a little bit, so as to give the nobles a chance to breathe.

There is a plan to take the businessman's knife, and there is the follow-up support of the nobles. It is only a matter of time before this run on is resolved.

However, this plan is not a good plan. Once the country runs out of money, it will undoubtedly make the market gradually lose some vitality if it uses merchants and capitalists. This method can only be used in special cases.

No one expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave a new direction in addition to the Prime Minister's ideas, borrowing money to tide over the difficulties.

To be honest, as soon as this idea entered the prime minister's mind, he instinctively rejected it because of face concerns.

If the Gafla empire borrowed money from other countries, what would those countries think?
It was obviously just some minor problems, but it turned out to be so troublesome now, it was completely unnecessary.

But after his instinctive aversion disappeared, he came up with some new views, such as changing something slightly within the acceptable range.

If money can be borrowed from the outside world to resolve this run on, there will be no changes to the current domestic industrial structure and the aristocratic structure.

Many people at the bottom always foolishly think that if there is something unsatisfactory, reform will be fine.

They can even cite various examples. A certain company's system reform has succeeded, and the company has been reborn.

The system reform of a certain country has succeeded, and this country has embarked on the road of prosperity...

But people don't understand that the so-called reform does not mean that a change can be completely changed. There are bound to be many obstacles on the road to reform, and these obstacles must be broken before real reform can be successful.

The problem is that all the obstacles are actually the vested interests of the current country, which can also be said to be the ruling class and the privileged class.

No one would break their own head and feed others with blood, but some things must change after all.

Within the scope of ability, it is relatively safe to make some changes from top to bottom. Perhaps this is the way of the future.

After thinking about it, he nodded, "This is a solution, but I don't know who can help us?" He looked up at His Majesty the Emperor, "Are you a Baile?"

The emperor's answer was quick, "Why not, or do you have other good options?"

The Prime Minister shook his head and continued to remain silent, weighing whether it would be of sufficient benefit to him to hold power.

No one obviously objected, and of course no one agreed. His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "This is a solution, but it will be difficult to succeed in the short term. We cannot simply place our hope on the possibility that others can help us. superior."

"We also have to be prepared, how to solve this crisis as soon as possible without anyone helping us..."

It went on and on, and finally it came back to the idea of ​​getting some money from some unimportant people, but they said it in a different way.

"I have noticed that some people have played a very disgraceful role in the run, gentlemen."

"Our kindness and tolerance are given to those kind-hearted citizens of the empire, to those legitimate businessmen who abide by the law, not to these people."

"If you want people to abide by the rules, you must first make them feel afraid..."

His Majesty the Emperor continued to look at the Prime Minister, "You take charge."

He didn't name who it was, but everyone knew what to do. When things got to this point, the people ignored the government's announcements and demands. They had lost their awe. It's time for them to recall that this is not the Federation. , here's Gafla-

A monarchy, a "decaying" country in the minds of people in some developed countries!

That night, the police cars started roaring in the imperial capital. It is said that there were a large number of police dispatched in the cities around the imperial capital, and even in cities further afield.

The so-called "running dogs of the empire", including the secret police, appeared in large numbers and began to publicly arrest some promoters.

Some are real promoters, such as some businessmen, such as some people who don’t think things are too big, and some speculators.

Some of them are suspected. As for the extent of the suspicion, it depends on the results of subsequent interrogations.

What happened in Gefla quickly spread to the whole world. After all, this former military power has always been the focus of everyone's attention. The emperor of the empire once talked about it proudly.

He said that Gefla is the center of the world, and people's eyes are focused on the core of the country, even on his palace.

What he said in the morning can reach the surrounding countries at noon, and the world's political leaders will know what he said before sunset.

He had always been proud of it before, but now, it was clear that something bad had happened here, and the whole world knew it before sunset.

"Gafla has encountered a financial crisis." In the presidential office of the Baylor Federation, the president was playing with the pen in his hand, and he was not at all interested in the things that the people sitting below said.

Nominally speaking, he is a typical radical of the Progressive Party, but in fact, he still misses the time when he closed the door and lived his own life, unlike now, when domestic affairs are not handled enough, and international affairs are still affecting watching his energy.

He seemed to be listening very seriously, and all he could think about was the election.

He has begun to participate in various public campaign speeches, in some well-known places, some universities, and on television.

This is the trumpet of the election campaign, and the general offensive is about to begin.

Candidates of the Conservative Party have also started to carry out related campaign work. If Lynch returns to Bu Paine at this time, he will find posters of Mr. President smiling and grinning all over the street.

Oh, and his campaign quotes.

All he cares about is these things, and the devil wants to know how much headache Emperor Gefla has now, but this matter is still very important after all, so such a meeting was held.

He glanced at Mr. Truman, looking very relaxed. With him, these problems will not be problems that bother him in the end.

"This is consistent with the results of Mr. Truman's previous analysis..." The people from the Ministry of Defense did not forget to glance at Mr. Truman when they were speaking, with a little surprise in their eyes.

He was just expressing his shock to Mr. Truman's foresight. No wonder he is not only the most trusted aide of the president, but also about to enter the federal political stage-this time there is the kind of background music that belongs to him, no Then go on stage with a group of people.

Mr. Truman nodded slightly, expressing that this is indeed the case. He was also a little curious, and his understanding of this matter was limited to some written content. He had no idea what Lynch had done to make Gefra The situation deteriorated so quickly.

The person from the Ministry of Defense continued, "Now Gefla is facing a big trouble that has never happened before and has no experience. We are not sure if this is a good opportunity, but we are not willing to let it go so easily, so We called everyone together to discuss and discuss whether there is room for us to intervene."

Next, the people from the Ministry of National Defense told what happened in Gefla in more detail. After listening to it, everyone felt nothing, and Mr. President was gradually attracted by the story-like narration.

When the people from the Ministry of National Defense closed the door, Mr. President looked at him for a few seconds, and then asked in surprise, "Is this the end?"

The DoD guy nodded, a little embarrassed, "Yes, that's what's going on..."

Mr. President suddenly smiled and shook his head, "I thought something big happened, it was just a run..."

The tone he said seemed to be that kind of commonplace feeling, and it was indeed the case. In the not too long history of the Federation, such things as runs frequently happened.

According to statistics, from the beginning of the founding of the Federation to the present, there have been nearly [-] banks of various kinds in the entire Federation, but up to now, the number of banks has not exceeded [-].

Here is a question, where are the remaining [-] banks?
