The personnel changes in the navy are not small. After Cheng Biguang and Shen Shoukun retired, Cai Tingqian has become the Minister of the Navy. The commander of Hualan Guodong Ocean Fleet was replaced by Du Xigui. Liu Chuanshou served as the commander of the Second Fleet and was stationed in Fukuoka, Kyushu Island.Xu Zhenpeng is the commander of the Zhainiyang Fleet. At the same time, he is also the commander of the [-]st Zhainiyang Squadron stationed at Kyaukpyu Port in Kokang Province.The Navy organized the first division of the Marine Corps in the Eastern Ocean Fleet experimentally, with Peng Qingzong as the division commander.

It will take time to build ships for the navy, but now that the naval agreement has broken down, Hualan can freely develop its navy.In addition, based on the experience of the war, senior naval officials proposed to abandon battlecruisers and replace them all with battleships, while increasing the development of aircraft carriers.Cruisers and destroyers are developing in the direction of large-scale, and submarines need to be equipped with more ocean-going submarines.People in the military industry department took note of these issues one by one, and were going to go back to continue research, while Zhao Shouhong proposed that all carrier-based aircraft must be developed into monoplanes.

The changes in the air force were even greater. The first, second, third, and fourth air forces were all doubled and stationed in the inland provinces as air forces directly under the central government. The fifth air force was expanded fourfold to meet the combat needs of the airborne army.The original compulsory military service fighter regiments established in each province have all been expanded into one division. This division is composed of two fighter regiments and one light bomber regiment.

As for the weapons of the Air Force, Zhao Shouhong also put forward the requirement of updating and upgrading. All military aircraft must complete the development of a new generation of aircraft within five years and put them into active service within at most ten years.After such a division, Hualan Kingdom's military establishment has undergone great changes, and the country's military forces have been integrated more closely, making other countries even more intimidated.

In fact, in addition to these troops, Zhao Shouhong also secretly established an information force that belongs only to the Ministry of National Defense.This force includes the most cutting-edge high-tech equipment in the country.Not only is there a radar network all over the country that is under construction, but also six communication satellites that have been successfully launched in space.With these equipments, they will become a force for the country to provide early warning and soft power in addition to intelligence agencies.

Changes in the army, especially the establishment of a large number of Class A armies, require a large number of mechanized equipment such as artillery and tanks, which will cost a lot of money to purchase.At the same time, the expansion of the navy and air force is a money-burning machine. The Ministry of Finance even has some criticisms about the professional military expansion, but soon they know Zhao Shouhong's wisdom. When the world entered 1929, a An event that shocked the world happened.

At the end of 1928, the two major powers in the world, the White Eagle State and the Teutonic State, held elections almost simultaneously.Roosevelt and Hissler, two people secretly supported by Zhao Shouhong, both failed in the election.In the election of the Teutonic state, the Social Democratic Party Hermann Müller received strong support from President Hindenburg. With a slight advantage, he defeated the prime minister's favorite Hissler in one fell swoop and became the new prime minister of the Teutonic state.

Hissler's failure is not surprising. Although the Teutonic Social Workers' Party has developed rapidly, it lacks foundation after all.Despite Crown Prince William's waving flags and the huge amount of funds provided by Zhao Shouhong, Hissler is still a bit younger than those well-established Teutonic politicians.

Compared with the expected defeat of Hissler, Roosevelt surprised Zhao Shouhong.In order to break the blockade and hegemony of the Allies over the world, Zhao Shouhong once hoped to change his world view with the book "Life of a Dictator", which was almost written by him, and change Roosevelt's thinking to state capitalism.If his plan is really successful, he may be able to unite the Teutonic and White Eagle countries, so that he will become a pivotal country between the two, and Hualan will profit from the gap between the two sides. Earn maximum profit in world war.

What Zhao Shouhong didn't expect was that Roosevelt suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Democratic Party at the beginning of the year, and led a group of people to leave the party suddenly and established the White Eagle Communist Party.Roosevelt became a utopian, and Zhao Shouhong was quite caught off guard by such a big oolong.The White Eagle Country has the world's largest economic aggregate and industrial system. If they incorporate it into the planned economy, the country's combat power will increase dramatically in a short period of time. When they join forces with the Red Alliance, the world structure will undergo tremendous changes.

Fortunately, Roosevelt's campaign was not successful due to the weak foundation of the White Eagle Communist Party, but getting a quarter of the votes is already commendable.Compared with Roosevelt's rather illusory utopian propaganda, President-elect Hoover's slogan is more realistic: "Let every household in the White Eagle Country have a car, and a chicken is boiled in the pot." Such a campaign slogan is naturally He is more able to capture people's hearts, so he is honored to be elected as the new president of the White Eagle Country.

Failure in both aspects does not have much impact on Zhao Shouhong, because these two chess pieces are not currently used.There are still ten years before the Second World War, which is long enough for them to grow up and control the two great powers of Teuton and White Eagle.

After the new leaders of the two big countries came to power, the capitalist society still maintained its prosperity and prosperity. Many people even declared that the permanent prosperity of capitalism has arrived, the development of the social system has come to an end, and capitalism will exist forever.But these people don't know that a crisis has already hit their faces.

After cooperating with the Hualan Kingdom, the economic strength of the Rothschild family expanded rapidly, and they quickly returned to their pre-war levels, or even worse.The Teutonic Kingdom was originally controlled by the Junker nobles, and the Rothschild family, which controlled the finances of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, could not reach into the control area of ​​the Teutonic Kingdom at all.

Chapter 170 and Six of the Rothschild Family's Intentions

After the end of the First World War, the Junker nobles almost collapsed and could only hide in Hualand to survive. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Rothschild family took control of the area controlled by the former Allies, and now they have firmly controlled the entire country. With the help of the Hollywood consortium, the Western Continent extended its hand to the southern part of the New Continent, the backyard of the White Eagle Country. This family has grown into a huge force that is irresistible.

It is such a huge financial family that makes people admire, but they have their own worries, and the contemporary patriarch Anthony is worrying.After the economy of the entire world is booming, the production of materials is growing explosively. Especially with the help of this family, the products of Hualan Kingdom have a huge sales volume, which makes Hualan Kingdom's economy grow six times faster than the average speed of the world. Seven times faster.But the financial market is the most sensitive, and the Rothschild family, the helm of the world's financial industry, has already smelled danger.

With the continuous improvement of production efficiency, there are more and more products, but the corresponding purchasing power has not been able to keep up with the speed of production increase.The warehouses of various factories have begun to backlog, but no one pays attention to such problems. Many factories are still relying on loans to start full production while the products are backlogged.This is a very dangerous problem. Once the bank's capital chain is broken, a large number of factories will close down and the world economy will be affected. This is an economic crisis.

The economic crisis is always accompanied by the growth of the capitalist system, and the capitalist system has little ability to regulate it. In other words, unless the world political system is changed, the economic crisis is inevitable.For such a situation, the top management of the Rothschild family are well aware of the situation, and they know very well that the longer the delay, the more serious the problem will be.

In order to burst the bubble of economic growth as soon as possible and prevent the world economy from going to complete destruction in the next crisis, some elders proposed that the Rothschild family initiate the economic crisis.While making a fortune in the economic crisis, it can also avoid the irreversible recession of the world economy, causing the collapse of the entire economy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Anthony finally decided to agree with this idea, but the family elders had new considerations.Hualan Country's economic system is getting more and more perfect, especially in the Hualan Business Leaders Club composed of all the big businessmen in the country. After the cooperation between members is getting closer and closer, the whole country has almost changed from production, sales, logistics to finance. It became a monolith.

This is a huge economy with a total economy of more than half of the White Eagle Country, a territory close to [-]% of the Eastern Continent and the Central Continent, and a population close to one billion.Today, Hualan Kingdom's economic strength is no worse than that of the countries under the control of the Rothschild family. They even have a complete range of industries and sufficient resources without any major weaknesses, which makes their overall strength stronger.

Facing such a behemoth, it is impossible not to be a little bit frightened. Therefore, the Rothschild Family Presbyterian Council hoped to take advantage of the economic crisis to break the relatively closed economic environment of Hualan Country and allow their own family to intervene in it.

Greed can destroy people. The Rothschild family's greed made them pay a heavy price in the end, and the reason they died even more was because they contacted the Hollywood consortium.Despite the existence of a trilateral cooperation agreement, the Rothschild family always believed that the Hollywood consortium and the Hualan Kingdom had a mutual business relationship, and they did not have a deep friendship.

The White Eagle Country is the most prosperous economy in the world today, and it is also the place with the largest economic bubble. If you want to leverage the principle of leverage to move the world economy, you must naturally find this weakest place.However, the Rothschild family only penetrated into the south of the New World. As for the White Eagle Country in the north, because of its very strong capital, the family's penetration into the White Eagle Country was not considered deep.

Without a strong enough financial power, the Rothschild family would not be able to make trouble in the White Eagle Country, so they chose the Hollywood consortium that they had worked with happily before.The Anthony Patriarch personally met with the president of the Hollywood consortium Maxson and exchanged views with him.

The sudden request from the Rothschild family was beyond Maxson's expectations, so he expressed the hope that he could discuss it with his team and give him the answer tomorrow.For such a big move, both parties must spend at least 30 billion Baiying Yuan as the cost. This is not a small amount, and Maxson's caution is also reasonable.

In fact, Maxson didn't discuss with his team, he just passed the news to Shen Ruoxue, waiting for the next step.Zhao Shouhong quickly got the information, he looked at it for a while and said to Shen Ruoxue: "Do it, it must be done, and it must be done in a big way. Tell Maxon, let him contact more people, and expand the situation as much as possible."

For an export-oriented economy like Hualando, the worldwide economic crisis is very dangerous.Once the economies of various countries collapse, resulting in a continuous decline in purchasing power, Hualan Kingdom will definitely be greatly affected, and may even cause a large number of factories to close down.

It's not that Zhao Shouhong is ignorant of such harm, but he is even more aware that both politics and economics serve politics.Now that the naval agreement has just broken down, all major countries have begun to immerse themselves in the development of the navy, seeing that a new arms race is about to begin.

The arms race means that countries will soon have excess weapons, followed by the outbreak of a world war.At such a crossroads, Zhao Shouhong does not want the war to break out too quickly, because he is not ready to join, especially now that Roosevelt has changed.

Letting the economies of various countries be in turmoil can slow down their military expansion and give Hualan more time to prepare for war.To achieve this goal, it is necessary to take the risk of launching an economic crisis, so that governments of various countries have no money to continue building warships.In order to obtain greater political benefits, Zhao Shouhong can only do this now.

The next day Maxson replied to Anthony that the Hollywood consortium was willing to join in this gluttonous feast, but he also had a request to find the Morgan consortium as a helper.

Maxson's reasons are very good. Although the Hollywood consortium seems to have a bright future, in fact, it is too extensive to specialize in one aspect.If they want to create financial turmoil in White Eagle's country, it will damage the interests of the Morgan consortium to some extent. If they take action to maintain stability, this matter will not succeed at all.As the most powerful financial system in the White Eagle Country, the Morgan Consortium has a unique advantage. Only they can easily control the financial market in the White Eagle Country.

The Hollywood consortium wants to make things bigger and better, and it is best to let the White Eagle Kingdom perish before it can be regarded as fulfilled.With the help of the Morgan consortium, it is possible to attack the financial market of White Eagle Nation to the greatest extent so that they cannot stay out of it. This is the biggest gain for Hualan Nation.

The first thousand and 170 seven chapters of the stock market

Mr. John Morgan Jr., chairman of the Chase Morgan Consortium, received the invitation from Maxson and immediately convened a meeting of all high-level executives.The meeting lasted for five hours before they finally reached an agreement. The Morgan consortium will join hands with the Hollywood consortium to attack the financial industry of White Eagle Country.

Little John Morgan, like his father JP Morgan, is a very patriotic person. If it is not a last resort, he will not weaken the strength of the White Eagle Country, but he also has the same worries as the Rothschild family.The economic overheating problem of the White Eagle Country is too serious. Even if the Morgan Consortium has started to implement a monetary tightening policy, it cannot stop the inertia of economic expansion.Once the economic expansion collapses because the capital chain of the whole society is broken, it will be the end of the entire world economy.

The longer the overheating economy lasts, the more serious the problems caused by the collapse will be. Even if the Morgan consortium wants to turn the tide, it will be powerless.Today's economy is like an abscess, and the longer it goes on, the deeper it will rot. Once it reaches the point of being incurable, it will be irreparable.It would be better to pierce the abscess when it is not serious.

It was precisely with such an idea that John Morgan Jr. finally agreed to the Hollywood consortium's idea.In fact, he also has some considerations. Although the Morgan consortium is comparable in size to the Hollywood consortium, the Hollywood consortium has too much real economy, and even has a large amount of investment abroad. At least in the financial market, it cannot compare with those who specialize in the banking industry. Morgan Group.

If the Hollywood consortium has any excessive attempts, the Morgan consortium can also restore the decline and avoid the economic collapse of the White Eagle country.It's a pity that John Morgan Jr. didn't calculate that the Rothschild family and the Hollywood consortium are in partnership, and with their joint efforts, the entire White Eagle Kingdom will be very difficult to resist.

On March [-], [-], it was a sunny morning, but the brokers who arrived at the stock market all had gloomy faces, as if they were in a very heavy mood.Judging from their first-hand information, today's stock market seems to have something bad omen.

Stocks have risen for so long that most people forget the fact that stocks go down as they go up.When the gates of the New York Stock Exchange opened, the crowds flocked in, chatting with each other and jostling into the hall as usual. In their view, the only thing to do to see the stock market was to see how much their own stocks had risen.

When the red sign in the hall appeared on the blackboard recording the price, many people opened their mouths in surprise.Maybe drive low and go high. Many people comfort themselves in this way. Most of them are still in a relatively peaceful mood. They think that the capitalist economy will prosper forever without any problems, and stocks will only rise but not fall.

When the opening bell rang, many people who were already seated raised their heads and looked at the blackboard for pricing.They were surprised to find that there were twice as many people writing price tags today, and their faces were full of nervous expressions.When the stock price began to change, those traders were surprised to find that the stock fell straight down as if diving.

All the stocks were marked in falling red, and there were thousands of stocks on the huge exchange, but none of them were rising.Seeing this scene, many brokerages all wailed: "Our unlucky day has come again, just like 20 years ago, this is really an unlucky day."

Everyone flocked to the trading desks to sell their shares before they lost their money.The trading platform, which usually looks quite large, is bustling like a busy market at this time.The originally more than fifty staff members were already overwhelmed with work.

Stock trading orders are flying all over the sky like waste paper. Usually, the selling trading orders have not been filled in yet, and the stock price has fallen to a lower level.There is no minimum, only lower, and the New York stock market, which lacks a corresponding mechanism, is like a waterfall, and it is difficult to have any stagnation and delay.

Problems in the world's largest economy will naturally affect the economic development of all regions. The sharp drop in the stock prices of the White Eagle Country will soon spread to the whole world.All kinds of defects and hidden dangers caused by overheated investment have been covered up under the false prosperity. When the economy has problems, these problems are all exposed.

According to the forecast of the Morgan consortium, this will be the smallest economic crisis within the White Eagle Country.It will neither affect other countries nor affect the real industry of the country too much.As long as the Morgan consortium takes strong control and the Hollywood consortium is assisted, White Eagle Nation will eliminate the financial and economic bubbles with minimal losses and restore the country's economy to a healthy track.

The Morgan Consortium's judgment was greatly biased. They never expected that Maxson had concealed some of his true thoughts and concealed the information that the Rothschild family was involved in this operation, which had serious consequences.

The financial situation around the world was brought together in the hands of John Morgan Jr. He was surprised to find that the economies of all countries in the world had experienced financial turmoil, and the larger the economy, the faster the stocks fell.The situation quickly turned in an irreversible direction, and the economies of the Western Continent powers such as the Saar Empire, the Gaul Kingdom, the Teutonic Kingdom, and the Roman Kingdom all had problems.A large number of enterprises relying on loans for construction have experienced a shortage of funds. Not only can they not get financial help in the stock market, but they have suffered heavy losses due to the decline in stocks.

Beginning in April, small businesses began to close down one after another, but this was only the beginning of a nightmare. As the economic crisis worsened, more and more businesses closed down.The asset liquidation of a large number of enterprises has made it impossible to recover overheated investment, and a large number of bad debts have appeared in banks.Soon the capital chain of some banks was broken, small banks closed down one after another, and a large number of depositors became impoverished because they could not withdraw their deposits.

Financial panic is spreading. Because of the exemplary role of small banks, ordinary people are worried whether their deposits will disappear due to bank failures. As a result, banks in various countries have encountered runs.The vicious circle of economic crisis is unfolding, and the economies of various countries have experienced a triple jump, and soon fell into the abyss.

It was also not easy for the Hollywood consortium to deal with it, but because they were the instigators, they had a longer preparation time than others.Citibank, a subsidiary of the consortium, first announced the cessation of all external loans, and the bank implemented austerity policies, and the funds were only used for the capital chain supply of internal enterprises.

McKesson mobilized a large amount of funds to deal with the same run on Citibank.McKesson did the opposite. Instead of restricting depositors' withdrawals, he also announced that bank deposit and withdrawal counters will be open 24 hours a day, and banks will be open to serve all withdrawal requests.At the same time, Citibank announced a [-]% increase in interest rates to encourage everyone to deposit.

The first thousand and 170 eight chapters of the economic crisis to make money

However, this move by Maxson has not gained the trust of the general public, and the deposits are being withdrawn faster and faster. Everyone is laughing at Maxson, thinking that he is a big fool.It's a pity that these people don't know who Maxson's backstage boss is.

This policy was designated by Zhao Shouhong and Shen Ruoxue after discussion. Because of the relationship between the Hollywood consortium, White Eagle Country and Hualan Country have frequent economic exchanges and huge capital flows, so the two countries have deposited a large amount of money from each other's country. currency.

In an economic crisis, these currencies become a liability to the state.Currency is also an equivalent commodity. Its existence is used to measure the value of products or services produced by various aspects of the country. Once the amount of currency is too small, currency becomes a commodity that is in short supply. The exchange of other commodities and currency China will naturally depreciate relatively, which is deflation.
