The two parties formally reached an agreement, and Nicholas II immediately got up to leave. Zhao Shouhong kindly sent them out of the office before stopping.Naturally, the Emperor Luocha's family will be received by someone specially assigned to them. They will live in the most luxurious room, and all treatment will be as usual.

Walking out of the office, Grand Duchess Olga pulled her second younger sister, Grand Duchess Tatiana, and whispered behind her. "Sister, do you think Mr. Zhao Shouhong is very handsome?"

Tatiana nodded and said, "Yes, there are very few people from the Far East who are so handsome, and he is so tall, he can be compared to the northerners from the Western Continent."

"I care more about his intelligence. In fact, I heard many legends about him when I traveled to Gaul a few years ago." Apparently, the Grand Duchess Olga heard about Zhao Shouhong for the first time.

"Oh? What kind of legend? Tell me about it?" Tatyana asked, and then Olga cured Mrs. Xiafei by Zhao Shouhong, raced with others at the auto show, and he cured William in the Teutonic Kingdom The second king, and the deeds of using Huayao to shock the Western Continent, told Tatiana in amazement.When the two were talking about Zhao Shouhong's great achievements, their voices inevitably became louder, which naturally alarmed the Nicholas II couple who were walking in front.

Looking at the flushed faces of the two daughters behind, Nicholas II smiled and said: "It seems that our daughters have grown up, and they are beginning to love heroes."

Queen Alexandra nodded: "We must marry one of our daughters to this man. He is destined to be extraordinary. Marriage with him is good for the Raksha Kingdom. For a long time from now on, we will We depend on this man, so we have to keep him on a tight leash."

"You are right, we must do this, not to mention our daughter seems very satisfied." Nicholas II said with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong, who sent away Emperor Luocha's family, was sighing in his office. "It turns out that politics can be so forgetful. I just embezzled a large area of ​​​​the Raksha country and dug out so many treasures. He actually didn't know it at all. These people are really terrible. Compared with them, my political accomplishment is even worse. Not enough."

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and sat on his chair, picked up a phone and said, "Let the three of them come in."

A few minutes later, three young men in suits walked in.These three people are Yang Cansan, general manager of Zhongchuan Industrial and Commercial Bank, Chen Guangfu, general manager of Guanghai Commercial Bank, and Qin Runqing, general manager of Hualan Agricultural Bank.These three people are the people who control the economic lifeline of the Western Special Economic Zone. They are all bigwigs in the financial circles of the Western Special Zone, and they are people who are trembling in the business circle of the Western Special Zone.There are often countless wealthy businessmen around them, flattering them with smiling faces, just hoping to apply for more loans.But now they all looked so humble and polite when facing Zhao Shouhong.

"Chairman, do you have any big plans for coming to us?" Yang Cansan knew Zhao Shouhong best, and he asked as soon as he entered the door.It was not surprising that Yang Cansan asked this way, because Zhao Shouhong rarely asked about financial matters, but every time he asked, it was a big deal.For example, the last rubber stock market crash, and the subsequent attack on the yen, all three of them were involved in it, and they also knew the role Zhao Shouhong played in it.

Looking at the three of them, Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Of course it is beneficial to call you here. I would like to ask you first, how is the current financial market situation?"

Chapter 665 Issuing Hua Yuan

Chen Guangfu said: "Since the war in the Western Continent, the domestic industry has been fully prosperous. Various factories have been built in large numbers, and the flow of funds in the market has also increased. The country is getting richer and richer. We follow your instructions , and is also doing its best to assist private capitalists, lending them loans to expand production."

"The only problem is the lack of funds." Qin Runqing spread his hands: "Originally, Zhongchuan has unified the currency system, and only uses Yingyang, silver dimes and machine-made copper coins as currency. However, due to the rapid development of the industrial system, Yingyang is no longer enough. Yes. According to our calculations, even if all the eagle oceans in the whole country are concentrated, it is impossible for the western special zone to have enough capital flow."

"Now there are similar problems in all parts of the special zone. We have been forced to make Yuan Datou, which was ordered by Yuan Kui, and hard foreign currencies such as the White Eagle Yuan Saar Pound, etc., into circulation." Yang Can said three times.

"Did the war damage the financial market?" Zhao Shouhong asked again.

This time it was Chen Guangfu who answered, because the government funds in the entire special zone were all on the books of Guanghai Commercial Bank. "Fund consumption is huge. The scale of this war is not small. Not only have the financial balance of the past few years been spent, the government has also borrowed 2000 million from the bank to pay for military expenses and aftermath." Chen Guangfu shook his head and said: "If the money If I don’t get it for a long time, my bank is in danger of breaking the capital chain.”

Zhao Shouhong touched his chin and nodded: "In this case, the reform of the currency system is imperative."

"Currency system reform?" The three exclaimed at the same time. They all came to their senses. Yang Cansan asked quickly, "How does the chairman plan to reform?"

Zhao Shouhong looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "It is unimaginable for a powerful economy not to control its own currency. I think we should start from this aspect."

"What does the chairman mean...to print money?" Qin Runqing asked.

"That's right, we will issue the Western Special Zone's own currency to replace the long-term internal foreign currency. In this way, we will have a seigniorage surplus and control the order of the financial market." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"But if you want to issue currency, you need sufficient hard currency reserves." Chen Guangfu said: "Could it be that the chairman has stored a large amount of Saar Pound or White Eagle Dollar? Or we need to link these two currencies to maintain the stability of the currency system. "

Zhao Shouhong shook his head with a smile and said, "We don't need to reserve foreign currency, nor do we need to peg it to foreign currency. That would make us subject to others, so we use gold."

"Using gold?" The three exclaimed again.Qin Runqing lowered her voice and said, "But that requires a lot of gold. How much gold does the chairman have?"

Zhao Shouhong also approached them and whispered: "I exchanged about 300 tons of gold through various channels before, and later took advantage of the rubber stock market crash to exchange more than 2000 tons in Saer Kingdom. We got [-] tons of gold, so we have [-] and [-] tons of gold in total, is this enough?"

"Two hundred tons in 2000?" The three nodded together: "Enough, enough."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Chen Guangfu will handle this matter. Guanghai Commercial Bank will be reorganized, and all capital business will be transferred to the other two banks."

"What are we doing?" Chen Guangfu asked.

Zhao Shouhong replied: "Guanghai Commercial Bank will be renamed the People's Bank of the Western Special Zone, and you will be transferred to the government. In the future, you will serve as a gold reserve base, and preside over the issuance of Huayuan, or the issuance of national bonds. I think that according to the current According to the international situation, it is appropriate to set the currency of Huayuan and Baiyingyuan at a ratio of two to one, which can make our products more competitive.”

"That's great. We can take advantage of the opportunity of the war in the Western Continent to use Hua Yuan. As long as countries around the world recognize Hua Yuan, our financial industry will have a great development." Qin Runqing came up with an idea.

"Yes, I will preside over the printing of the specific currency, and it will be issued after one month. We need to exchange all kinds of silver dollars and foreign currencies on the market, and first unify the currency system within the Western Special Zone." Zhao Shouhong said.

"I have a good idea." Yang Can said: "Now that the European war is in full swing, the demand for medicines is very large. If our medicines suddenly announce that they only accept Huayuan and gold, I believe the speed of Huayuan spreading to the world will be much faster. .”

"That's right." Zhao Shouhong said: "Let's study it carefully first, we have to formulate a plan as detailed as possible." The three of them received this order and went back. currency issuance plan.

As for the printing of banknotes, Zhao Shouhong decided to leave it to Glory.With it controlling the printing presses in the space hospital, it is believed that no one can counterfeit the banknotes printed by all projections.

The financial institutions in the SAR are preparing intensively for the issue of currency, and negotiations with Hong Luo are also proceeding with difficulty.Because they did not want to recognize the treaty signed by the provisional government and let Hualan occupy more than 400 million square kilometers of territory, the Hongluo regime has always refused to sign a new contract.The cavalry teams of Hua and Luo often broke out small conflicts on the border, and every time the West Army won a big victory.

In order to prevent the surprise attack of the Red Rakshasa Kingdom, the construction of the garrison on the front line of the Urals has also been accelerated.High-density and large-depth bunker groups are rapidly forming. It has modern fort groups, tunnels, and multi-storey underground warehouses with elevators. The various garrison areas are connected by tunnels. Once completed, the entire line of defense can even be interconnected. .

These lines of defense are extremely forward-looking. In addition to bunkers, there are not only permanent infantry trenches, anti-tank concrete piles, barbed wire, electrified searchlights and anti-aircraft gun positions, but also warehouses and attack channels for storing tanks.In addition, the multi-layered minefields outside the trenches made the Hongluo cavalry very troubled.

After this position is established, the threat of Hong Luo will be minimized, not to mention that the Western Special Zone is training the Belarusian army intensively near Yekaterinburg behind the line of defense.As long as there are these troops as a buffer, I believe it will be difficult for Hong Luo to stand up for a long time.

Compared with Hong Luo, Wa Kingdom is much more threatening to Hualan.Because of some ulterior secrets, the Wa State has always insisted on the Yizhou issue, and the Hualan side strongly demanded that the Wa State give up all its rights and interests in China, so the peace talks have never been able to proceed.Fortunately, the two sides have achieved a complete truce under the supervision of the Allied Powers, so there is no question of continuing the war. The Chinese and Japanese sides are facing each other in a yin and yang way, neither fighting nor signing a contract.

Chapter 666 Brest Peace Treaty

This situation has made Saar and Gaul very anxious. As an ally of the Allied Powers, Wa has made very little contribution to the war in the Western Continent, because they have always refused to send troops.Now the situation on the battlefield in the western continent is very critical. Two-thirds of Gaul's territory has fallen into the hands of the Teutonic state, and they urgently need to replenish their army.The White Eagle Army is useless, they have only joined the land war for a few months, and they have already lost 50 White Eagle youths, what will happen in the long run.

What the current White Eagle Country hopes most is to use Hualan's huge population resources to support the battlefield in the Western Continent.The White Eagle Kingdom is not afraid of paying money, but is afraid of death.They would rather spend money to equip the Hualan army and let them become the main force on the battlefield in the Western Continent, so that they can better fight against the two countries.

But now that Hualan is in a state of war with the Allied Powers ally Wa, Hualan will not be able to join the Allied Powers group. This is what Saar, White Eagle, and Gaul are most anxious about.Therefore, diplomats from Saar, White Eagle and other countries were divided into two groups. While they were keeping an eye on the peace talks, they persuaded the current Beihua City government to give up their neutral status and join the battle order of the Allied Powers.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, a bad news came that Hong Luo and the Allies unilaterally signed the "Brest Treaty".It turned out that when Hong Luo was first established, the Teutonic Kingdom hoped to take advantage of its internal chaos to completely destroy the Raksha Kingdom in order to deal with the enemies behind it.

At that time, the Teutonic State concentrated the troops of three group armies, joined hands with 40 Austro-Hungarian troops, and aggressively attacked the Raksha State.Because of the passive resistance of the front-line commanders of the Raksha State, the German-Austrian coalition forces quickly penetrated hundreds of kilometers into the Raksha State territory, and the forwards pointed directly at St. Petersburg.

The Hongluo regime is already in extreme danger. Bunin issued a slogan to defend the Hongluo regime in time. He called on the people of the whole country to have money and strength to defend the new Hongluo regime at all costs.Under the ideological propaganda of the cloth party, a large number of people at the bottom signed up enthusiastically, and twelve militia divisions were formed in St. Petersburg within one day.

A large number of militia troops were thrown into the battle on the front line. They sang the Internationale and walked through the streets of St. Petersburg, rushing to the front line more than 20 kilometers outside the city to fight.At this time, Sterling, who was originally unknown, had the opportunity to show his talents.

He was sent to Ukraine by Bunin to collect grain to support the front line. After Sterling arrived in Ukraine, he issued an order to collect surplus grain.On the surface, this order requires farmers from all over the country to hand over their surplus grain to support the country in foreign wars.The government gives these people IOUs as a loan, and after next year's grain harvest, [-]% of the grain from the tax will be added to compensate the farmers.

In the past year, the government of the Raksha Kingdom has changed like a revolving lantern. The people can't believe how long the Hongluo regime can last, so few people are willing to hand over the surplus food.Faced with the failure to collect surplus grain, Sterling ordered the newly formed Red Luo Army to enter the villages and towns to persuade them to pay.

The military is not a government department, and they do not have the patience of government officials to slowly explain the pros and cons to the people.Soldiers prefer the direct method, so after entering the countryside, they launched an action to persuade them to pay.Under the coercion of bayonets, most of the farmers handed over their grain, but these soldiers not only wanted to collect the surplus grain, but even took away most of the peasants' rations.

The behavior of the Red Luo army aroused the dissatisfaction of the local people. Under the instigation of those with a heart, many people rose up and launched an uprising against Hong Luo.Facing the raging uprising in Ukraine, Sterling took brutal measures to suppress it.Those rebels were killed in batches by the regular army and abandoned in the wilderness, and their families were persecuted.

Sterling stabilized the situation in Ukraine with a high-pressure policy and a murderous deterrent method, and continuously transported a large amount of food to the front line.Sterling's behavior effectively supported the front line, preventing the army from collapsing due to lack of food.In the case of sufficient food, the morale of the soldiers soared, and they repelled many attacks by the Teutonic Army in a row and pushed them back [-] kilometers.

After suffering huge losses, Prince Ruprecht, the commander-in-chief, felt that the attack was not worth the loss. After consulting William II, he ordered the Teutonic Army to stop advancing, and sent someone to extend an olive branch to Red Luo.At this time, Hong Luo was also exhausted from fighting. In order to resist the attack of the Teutonic Kingdom, Hong Luo almost persisted with four to one casualties.The construction of various places has been delayed due to the war, and agriculture has reached the point where fishing is exhausted. If this continues, the Hongluo government may really collapse.

Both sides, both willing to withdraw, started peace talks in Brest.The representative of the Teutonic State was aggressive. He asked the Raksha State to cede 100 million square kilometers of land, at the same time compensate the Teutonic State 60 billion marks, and withdraw from the First World War.

Faced with such harsh conditions, many people in the Red Luo regime opposed it, even Trotsky, who founded the Red Army, expressed opposition.He expressed his dissatisfaction by resigning, but as the supreme leader, Bunin knew very well that if the contract was not signed, it would be difficult for the Hongluo regime to persist for another month.

At this critical moment, Bunin rejected all opinions and announced his acceptance of the Brest Peace Treaty, and the two sides officially announced an armistice in December 1916.Hong Luo and the allies unilaterally ceased war, so that the Hong Luo regime could focus on domestic affairs, quell the rebellion and develop production.The two countries, on the other hand, were able to withdraw their troops from the Eastern Front to focus on the Western Front.

In February 1917, the Tio-Austrian Allied Forces took advantage of the heavy snow and invaded the territory of Rome.The Italian army, known for its weakness and low combat effectiveness, was on the verge of collapse, and retreated to the city of Rome in just half a month, completely opening the door to the Gaul kingdom.
