Chapter 849： Invisible war

Africa is full of gunpowder, and in Europe, an invisible war is also fast going on.

The currency war.

When news of the euro came out, the whole of Europe was boiling, and people's opinions were different.

For businessmen, a unified currency is of great benefit to them. To do business in Europe, there is no need to switch foreign exchange back and forth, and transactions can be conducted directly, which is quite convenient.

However, for countries, this also means that their huge foreign exchange reserves will become waste paper, and they must turn their foreign exchange into euros before turning into waste paper.

The main ones are the pound sterling, the franc and the mark, especially the pound sterling. The pound sterling has been an international currency for hundreds of years as the empire of the United Kingdom as the sun never sets. It is quite troublesome to exchange all of it now.

These days, the three major banks that issue euros are all printing euros at full speed. At the same time, more and more original currencies are stored in the vaults.

In this era, the money counter has not yet been invented. It is all counted manually by people, which makes it even more massive, so that even the bank’s president and senior management have to participate in the ranks of money counting. If counterfeit coins are found, prevent people from fishing in troubled waters.

Of course, the occurrence of counterfeit currency will be a serious social criminal case. Reinhardt has set up a special organization, found one, and traced it together. Anyone who dared to make counterfeit currency to make money was shot dead!

In addition to the three major issuing banks, other banks are also very busy. All their windows are open, and there are long queues outside to exchange money for citizens. In order to improve efficiency, they even extend their working hours. From six in the morning until ten in the evening.

Propaganda murals are posted everywhere on the outer walls of the bank.

Win the Euro battle!

Let us unite with the head of Cyric!

Make our contribution to the European unified currency!

Of course, there are very few people who secretly hide some original currency just in case, but this is a minority after all.

In addition to the occupied territories of Germany, other countries are constantly traveling back and forth to Europe these days.

"Our cooperation with Sweden has always been very good." At the airport, the German Foreign Minister sent away the visiting Swedish Finance Minister, while expressing comfort to the other party: "As long as your foreign exchange arrives, we can exchange it at any time. ."

Germany and Sweden cooperate well. Although Sweden is a neutral country, a large amount of Sweden's minerals are directly exported to Germany, especially their high-grade iron ore, which is indispensable for German metallurgy.

Just as he sent away the Minister of Finance of Sweden, Ribbentrop saw the end of the runway, and a colorfully painted plane aimed at the runway and landed.

Seeing this plane, Ribbentrop’s diplomat’s unique smile filled up again. This is a special plane of the Hughes company. If not surprisingly, it should be Howard who is flying this plane now. Husse!

Of course, when the plane stopped, he saw Howard wearing a flying cap and jumped off the plane. When he saw Ribbentrop, Howard waved his hand happily.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, I'm so glad to see you." Howard said: "I have shipped all the pounds, francs, and marks that our company has collected over the years, and I hope to exchange them for euros."

This is an Atlantic airliner, a large four-engine aircraft, specially used for flights between the Americas and Europe, and now Howard has filled the entire aircraft with these currencies!

The rich are the rich. Now Howard is still the bohemian **** and one of the richest people in the world.

Howard was not afraid that in the unlikely event of an accident, all his money would fall into the sea. With this thought, Ribbentrop said: "Okay, no problem, Mr. Howard, your foreign exchange, We will arrange for someone to exchange it for you. Tomorrow your plane will be filled with Euros. But, do you plan to take these Euros back to the United States?"

Of course Ribbentrop had something to say.

Up to now, the US government is still insisting, and even started to intimidate Germany, if the US wants to change, it has to change at any time, and it does not want the euro, but gold!

The German side has verbally rejected such a request. At the same time, this has also led to a cold field between the United States and Germany. Up to now, the United States has been vigorously supporting the British forces in the Middle East.

The U.S. government is not long-sighted, but the capitalists below can see it well. They can't turn their foreign exchange into waste paper, right?

"Of course it is." Howard said: "Our United States is a free and democratic country, and the government can't do anything to me."

In the past few years, the friendly atmosphere between the United States and Germany has spread, with the help of big capitalists like Howard, and cooperation with Germany can be profitable.

Now, the wind direction in the United States has begun to change. However, no matter how it changes, the United States is always a country controlled by big capitalists. As for the president of the United States, it dare not treat big capitalists like Howard.

Just as in the history of World War II, Hughes, Mobil Oil Company, Ford Company, etc. all have close relations with Germany. The United States still has no choice but no punishment for these big capitalists who collude with enemies.

"Mr. Howard, if you have any difficulties, please come to us in time When you need it, you can also have a German citizenship." Ribbentrop said.

To this Howard, the German side was very polite, for no other reason, because Howard and Cyrek have a close and friendly personal relationship. It can be said that the two are friends.

When the Workers’ Party was not in power, Howard secretly provided funds to support Hitler’s cause, and it was Cyric who contacted Howard.

"I don't know if Head Cyric has time, I really want to see him." Howard said.

"I can take you to the Führer's House, but the Führer is not necessarily there." Ribbentrop said.

"Well, then I will take advantage of this time to go to the company to see." Howard said.

The Seuss company also has a branch in Germany, which was created when the Atlantic airliner was jointly developed with Germany, and the Seuss company also made a lot of profits because of this intercontinental airliner.

Howard didn't know, he went back to the company this time, and met the head of Cyric by chance.
