The U.S. dollar is the world's currency, and the U.S. dollar is the strongest. However, after studying economics, you know that currency is only a general equivalent. From this perspective, only real currency, such as gold and silver, is a natural precious metal. Only then can it function as a currency in circulation, and the dollar is just a piece of paper printed by Americans.

However, the paper is very strong. This is because of the role of US policy. After the end of World War II, almost all of the world's gold went to the United States. The United States' ample gold reserves, coupled with its leadership in the Western world after the war, made the Western world acquiesce in the circulation status of the dollar, and the pound plummeted.

The United States converts the US dollar according to a fixed golden ratio. At this time, the US dollar is equivalent to gold. This system is the Bretton Woods system, which supports the recovery and development of the Western world after the war. Unfortunately, this system is based on the United States. In relation to domestic gold reserves, the system eventually collapsed during the Nixon era as the United States continued to reduce its gold reserves.

At this time, the world is already flooded with a large number of dollars. If all these dollars are returned to the United States, the American economy will collapse in an instant, and the dollar will depreciate and become waste paper.

So, at this time, Americans have found a way to replace gold, black gold, oil!

In this era, oil is an irreplaceable energy source. Internationally, it can act as a hard currency. However, unfortunately, the United States does not have abundant oil reserves and cannot treat this thing as gold. However, the United States will soon become A workaround was found. After negotiating with Saudi Arabia, OPEC decided to adopt the international currency of the US dollar as the only currency for settlement of oil!

In this way, any other country that wants to buy oil must have dollars! And the way they get it is to export commodities. Then, the United States only needs to print banknotes to obtain various items, and these commodities are simply given to the United States for nothing. The exported commodities are obtained in dollars, and then given to oil-producing countries, Oil-producing countries export oil and at the same time get a lot of dollars, and these dollars can continue to circulate in the world to buy goods from other countries, and can also return to the United States to satisfy the luxury life of the local tyrants in the Middle East.

During the whole process, the United States was simply an empty-handed wolf. Of course, the United States also has to pay a price, which is the force of the United States to ensure the security of these countries. Why did Saudi Arabia agree to use the US dollar as the only settlement currency for oil? That's because these local tyrants need bodyguards.

But now, this balance has been broken. The United States cannot provide protection for these countries, and the United States cannot control these countries. Then, the basis for the existence of the US dollar oil system is gone!

The system that Nixon proposed was for the United States to continue to exploit the countries of the third world! Now, the countries of the third world have woken up and will never allow the United States to exploit like this! Oil is a gift from God to the Middle East, how can it be cheaper for Americans in the end! Let Americans keep printing dollars and spend them all over the world! It is equivalent to the whole world paying for Americans!

The military struggle is over, and the economic struggle can fight the United States better! Andre's strategy in 1982 was to dismantle the US dollar oil system!

"However, we use US dollars to settle oil because the US dollar is the world currency. We can avoid all kinds of troubles and disadvantages such as exchange rates of various countries. If we don't use US dollars to settle oil, what should we use for settlement?" Hearing Andre On the side, Iraq's new oil minister, Farabi, said.

Different countries have different economic development and exchange rates, and the currencies of various countries may depreciate at any time. Therefore, the Middle East chose the US dollar for settlement at the beginning for these reasons. After all, in the world at that time, the US dollar was still a relatively strong currency.

"That's because of the exploitation of the Americans! The Americans used the dollar oil system to kidnap all our oil-producing countries!" Andre said: "If there was no dollar oil system, the dollar would not have been the world currency long ago, and Americans are now enjoying A high quality of life is exploiting the interests of our oil-producing countries!"

Andre's voice was a bit loud, and Farabi felt a shudder when he heard it. He secretly scolded himself for being stupid. At this time, even Uday and Qusay didn't dare to take Andre's face and express any objection. Opinion! Isn't this looking for death?

Damn it!

Fortunately, Andre wasn't really angry, he just expressed contempt for the short-sighted eyes of a high-ranking member of the country. He didn't even have this knowledge, so he was a high-ranking member!

"General Andre, what currency should we use as the settlement currency?" Qusay on the side asked cautiously, "Is it the ruble?"

The Soviet Union helped Iraq and won the war, of course, to ask for benefits. This benefit is not only satisfied by obtaining a few oil wells in Saudi Arabia. Abandoning the petrodollar system, what currency is used? It must be rubles! In this way, the benefits that the United States has occupied are now all occupied by the Soviet Union!

"Our ruble is stronger than the dollar, and there are many countries that use the ruble. In addition to our Soviet Union, the Eastern European countries are also the main users of the ruble, so if the ruble is used for settlement It is definitely the most suitable." Andre said: "However, at this stage, it would be too hasty to switch directly to the ruble settlement."

Of course, Andrei will not give up the method of using rubles to settle oil. Now, the Soviet Union is already a big oil exporter. In addition, Iran and Saudi Arabia, which are directly controlled by the Soviet Union, are settled in rubles. It is no big deal. Iraq, now Even if they have objections in their hearts, they dare not speak out. But now, it is inappropriate to directly say that the settlement is in rubles.

The reason is very simple, because the oil exported from the Middle East is mainly for the use of the West! Even the oil exported by the Soviet Union was destined for Western Europe. The western world is led by the United States. If China unilaterally announces that it will abandon the US dollar settlement of oil and use the ruble instead, what will be the result?

Boycott of the entire Western world! They will never agree. Under the manipulation of the United States, they will definitely sacrifice their own country's industry to die with the oil-producing countries!

If the Middle East doesn't export oil, the black gold in the ground is nothing! Therefore, it is not suitable to deal with it simply and rudely.

How to do? Of course the disintegration of the West from within! (To be continued.)
