"But" Second Lieutenant Nine eagerly wanted to say something but was stopped directly by the lieutenant colonel
"I know what you're trying to say, Lieutenant, but I'm sorry to tell you that the timing of your report is inappropriate and very inappropriate," said the lieutenant colonel.
"I personally hope that this report will attract enough attention, but now is not the time." The lieutenant colonel kept shaking his head at this time, expressing his incomprehension
"The staff is planning how to cut military expenditures, and they have no time to take care of these new projects. I can only express my regret. I hope you can understand." The lieutenant colonel looked at the second lieutenant and said.
"Huh..." the second lieutenant exhaled helplessly. He knew that it would be useless to continue talking.
"Second lieutenant," the lieutenant colonel suddenly said at this time
"What sir?" Second Lieutenant Jiu said
"I've seen your resume, you started as a soldier and you have a lot of military exploits," the lieutenant colonel said at this time
"Yes, sir," Second Lieutenant Jiu nodded.
"Well, the army can't keep a talent like you. Even if you keep you, you won't be of much use. I know we won't be able to have large-scale combat operations in the next year. I think you can retire and try somewhere else." Try going to the security company where someone like you is needed and your theory is just right," the lieutenant colonel said looking at the second lieutenant
998 banknote supply
"Thank you, sir. Although I personally don't have a good opinion of the security company, they are just a bunch of guys who take money to do things, but I still thank you, sir." Second Lieutenant Jiu said helplessly.
"I personally think that the country still needs soldiers like us. Money is of little use to us. We fight for honor and for our duty, not for money. People from security companies don't have such a sense of honor. They are not really soldiers."[-] The lieutenant said calmly
"Although my talents may be buried in the army, I think I have done my best for the country. This is my honor. This country will remember my honor," said the second lieutenant.
"Ninth Second Lieutenant" Lieutenant Colonel stood up at this time and said
"What's the matter, sir?" Second Lieutenant Nine said
"You are a real soldier and you have a sense of honor as a soldier." The lieutenant colonel looked at the second lieutenant and said
Said the lieutenant colonel raised his right hand to salute
"I salute to you, our Qin army, it is because of soldiers like you that we can become an invincible army. Thank you," the lieutenant colonel saluted.
"Crack" Second Lieutenant Jiu immediately saluted at this time
And his eyes are already very moist
Then Second Lieutenant Nine slowly withdrew
The lieutenant colonel slowly watched the soldier leave the Qin army. It is the existence of soldiers with soldiers guarding them like Jiubanhun that ensures that the huge territory of the Qin State is not invaded by any foreign race, and the Qin State expands its territory. It is also because of such soldiers that such a division of tigers and wolves is formed.
The fighting will of the Qin army continues the fighting will of the previous Qin army. It is this kind of fighting will that Qin has continued so that Qin has an inviolable reason. The existence of the fighting will is invisible, but it still exists. I understand what this will to fight is, but most of the top officials in Qin State, especially the soldiers, are promoted from lower-level officers. The soldiers are very aware of the existence of this will to fight.
"Recently, the prime minister is stalking us again. They hope that we can cut military expenditures and give up most of the military expenditure. I really don't understand what the prime minister wants to do. Is he satisfied with letting Qin put down his arms?" Wang Jian said to Shang Wen I am very dissatisfied with the practice of resorting to military spending when encountering economic problems
But Shangwen has no way to find a way to avoid this problem. Qin needs funds everywhere, and Qin needs a lot of capital to export. Zhao needs South Korea, Yan, and military expenditures. The liquidity of the currency is decreasing, and Qin's financial newspapers have begun to notice this problem
"Qin State currently has a strong investment enthusiasm, but we don't know how much money the bank has, can they meet our needs? Many people have paid attention to it, but a report before Shang Wen has already reminded Shang Wen that Qin's economy is in danger and the financial industry, especially the banking industry, is the first to be hit.
"The half-two banknotes of our Qin State are no longer pure Qin State banknotes. They are also in circulation in some places, such as Handan Julu Yunzhong in Zhao State, Xinzheng in South Korea, Yandu in Yan State, and Chu State in Liaodong and Liaoxi. In some places, although Qi is unwilling to deal with Qin, they are using our banknotes for transactions. Our banknotes are very cheap and reliable, and these are our sharp weapons for investment," the report reads.
With the export of Qin's capital, Qin's capital no longer uses gold but a large number of Qin's banknotes, but the circulation of Qin's banknotes is very limited, and the right to issue banknotes is concentrated in the hands of the Qin government, especially Shang Wen, who knows very well. How many banknotes are issued and printed every year? Qin’s banknote factories have not printed new banknotes recently. In order to prevent inflation, Shangwen has been suppressing the circulation of Qin’s banknotes, because inflation brings a lot of trouble and is very difficult to deal with.
That is to say, the amount of currency in Qin State has not increased much for a long period of time, but the places where Qin State uses banknotes have greatly increased a lot. The foreign capital export aggravated the instantaneous decline of Qin's domestic currency.
In fact, many places in Qin State need a lot of money, and the newly expanded states need a lot of money. With the help of banks, Qin's money quickly flows to these places where money is most needed.
But in fact, these currencies are still not enough, because according to the use of currency, the currency needs to be increased every month, but Qin has been in a static state. Such an increase in currency can easily plunge Qin into a disaster of currency shortage.
But the banks solved these problems by themselves. Qin issued a large number of government war bonds and government infrastructure bonds. These bonds took on the functions of money just like before Qin issued paper money. This caused Qin to issue these bonds and government bonds in some marginal areas. The banknotes circulated together, which caused great confusion in the currency circulation of Qin State again.
These chaos are not enough to cause disasters in Qin State
The most frightening thing is that Qin’s banks hold Qin’s financial lifeline, and the banking industry lacks funds. The banks in Guanzhong have diverted a large amount of funds to Zhao and South Korea, which have become the two hottest investment places in Qin. The originally tense currency reserves were suddenly withdrawn and more than half of Qin's domestic bank reserves were less than 20.00%. This is a very dangerous signal. If someone releases this news at this time, those who are worried about their own banks For those who have money, you should know that those who save money in Qin State are all working class. They are the middle class of Qin State. A large amount of their livelihood comes from their salary and bank interest investment. For them, the rise is far from that great.
In addition to these, Qin cannot increase the amount of money blindly and arbitrarily, because if Qin increases the money supply at will, then a catastrophic scene will happen soon The way they do it becomes a place for them to depreciate, then the government's credit will be greatly wiped out. At the same time, although the supply of money is sufficient, the working class of Qin State will be greatly impacted, which will lead to great internal conflicts in Qin State.
But if the money supply is not increased, the banking industry in Qin State will have no funds to call, which will eventually cause the biggest problem. The bank has no funds to return to those depositors, and a bank run will occur. The bank will collapse on a large scale and the bank will face bankruptcy. Threats will order to urge the loan, and the factory owner has no funds to repay, and all the problems will be infinitely magnified at once. Obviously, this trouble is far greater than the former.
The former is still a social problem, while the latter not only causes social problems, but also causes the entire economic problem. Everything in Qin State is closely related to the bank, which makes it very likely that Qin State will fall into a huge disaster because of the bank problem.
So in the face of these problems, Shang Wen thought of a solution, which is to transfer a large amount of funds from military expenditures into the market. He did not take the method of increasing the money supply. He believed that doing so would undoubtedly secretly deprive the working class of their wealth. practice he obviously does not want to use
So he adopted a very peculiar financial method to solve this problem, obviously this method is very peculiar
This kind of method hurts a lot of people. At least the one who suffers the most is the army. The army is very dissatisfied with this, but Shangwen is unwilling to let the working class suffer greater losses. It will cause a huge wave of strikes, and the social problem is even more difficult to deal with.
Although Shangwen adopted such a peculiar method, the essential problem still remains unresolved. The most difficult thing is still the dwindling money supply of Qin State, which requires Qin State to start large-scale printing of banknote printing machines to solve the problem, but the premise of printing It is Qin's gold reserves that must reach a certain level. Although Qin's gold can be traded and there does not seem to be much direct relationship between the two, in fact the two have been decoupled. Shang Wen deliberately did this because he knew that the amount of gold was far away. It can't satisfy Qin's rapidly growing demand for currency, so he decoupled paper money from gold from the very beginning. Mixing gold and paper money is just to suppress the excessive flood of paper money. According to King Qin's character, paper money will suddenly inflate, and eventually the paper money will be worthless. Retire from the stage of history This is not what Shang Wen wants to see The banknote needs to play the biggest role instead of retiring from the stage of history
But he didn't have any good ideas to increase the money supply of Qin State, which is the most fundamental and fatal place. Shang Wen obviously made a mistake in his thinking, and the measures he took later were also wrong. Although these mistakes were not fatal, they were enough for Qin State. Big trouble at least economically
But Naofumi doesn't know anything about it After all she's not an economic expert he's just a weapons expert
999 behind-the-scenes heroes
Qin's banknote supply problem involves an extremely wide range, but if it cannot be resolved in a timely manner, it will lead to a major financial crisis. Shang Wen is well aware of this, but he has adopted a wrong mistake, but Qin The focus of the domestic media reports has shifted to the besieged soldiers of the Qin State. They are extremely concerned about the war performance of the Yan State.
"May I ask how you persisted, can you tell us about it?" A reporter from the Qin State quickly arrived at the front line to interview those soldiers of the Qin Army Marine Corps who had just been rescued.
"We" said a Qin Marine Corps soldier looking up at the reporter
"I don't know that everything is normal." The soldier said truthfully that the siege was intense at the beginning, but it became less intense in the middle, and then there was a long confrontation. Obviously, the Qin army must have a lot of confrontation. Their excellent defense system withstood the Qi army's charge attack time after time
In the later confrontation, the Qi army reduced a large number of troops, they were unable to continue to attack, and finally had to form a confrontation situation. For the soldiers of the Qin army, where they were stationed did not have much impact on the usual, but they could not show their faces at will. The lack of heavy artillery can't bombard the Qin army at will. Even if they have them, they can't fire at will. Their shells are extremely lacking.
"Let me tell you about everything that happened here." At this time, a lieutenant came over to accept the reporter's interview. The reporters quickly surrounded him
"We rely on the strength of our Qin State to survive. We have sufficient ammunition, sufficient food supplies, and a complete defense system. We have advanced weapons. The enemy has nothing to do with us. If they want to move forward, they will pay a heavy price." The lieutenant said stubbornly. said
"In this regard, I say that our country of Qin will not be able to win," the lieutenant continued. The reporter agrees with the official statement of the lieutenant. Although negative reports of war will bring great attraction, they can also bring fatal disasters. If the military is dissatisfied, the consequences are also very serious. You must know that Qin is a martial country, and no country's citizens would like their army to lose a battle. Everyone has a patriotic heart.
Regarding the battle performance of the besieged Qin army during the besieged period, the king of Qin has made it clear
"These excellent soldiers of the Qin Army are excellent representatives of our Great Qin State. They have shown the qualities that Qin State soldiers should have in the war," King Qin said in his speech.
"During the war, they showed the qualities that a soldier should have, such as perseverance, bravery, hard work, etc." King Qin praised his soldiers like this
"Those commanders have also played their role and held their positions with their courage and wisdom. They have shown the responsibilities and obligations that soldiers should have. I appreciate this very much." King Qin also made a positive evaluation of the role of the officers.
"In this regard, the widows will give these officers and soldiers collective honor medals, and individual brave officers and soldiers will be given individual rewards," King Qin said to reporters. King Qin has made it clear that rewarding medals to these soldiers is a place to motivate officers and soldiers to continue fighting and maintain glory.
The besieged Qin army got positive reports from reporters, but the reporters in other places did not notice that the place that did not notice was the guerrilla regiment of the Qin State. They were not the regular military forces of the Qin army. Among them, they are not recognized. They are completely voluntary. They rely on their own fighting will to fight. They are real soldiers, although they are not regular soldiers. A reporter joined the Qin Guerrilla Corps by accident. Here is this reporter. Detailed records of the daily life of the guerrilla regiment's operations
"Qin's guerrilla army is a group that is not recognized by any organization or individual. They are fighting in the south of Yan. They are a group of brave people," the reporter wrote in his notes.
