0766 Is This Troublesome?

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire looked at the Prime Minister sitting below him, his calm face making it difficult to understand his truest thoughts.

Agree or disagree.

The Prime Minister frowned slightly, this idea was a bit unexpected.

In his opinion, the easiest way to resolve this crisis is to "kill" a group of businessmen, and then ask the nobles to cooperate with him, and things will be stabilized.

The direct benefit of getting rid of a group of disobedient businessmen with their own ideas is that there will be ample funds and materials in a short period of time, and it can also deter some opportunists.

The reason why this turmoil can become so big and cover such a wide area is that businessmen are also responsible.

These guys who only have profit in their eyes never consider whether doing this or that will bring some disaster to this country. They just want to reach out and grab money and put it in their pockets.

They have to pay for what they have done. This is Gefra, not the Federation.

Solving the problems caused by these businessmen will alleviate some other problems in society due to runs. The value of both materials and funds during this period is very strong.

This expression may make people a little confused. To put it simply, in an era when materials were not abundant and society was somewhat turbulent, people would not refuse even if some goods were used as money to pay for their reward.

The simplest example is that the towel factory uses towels to offset wages, and the electric light factory uses light bulbs to offset wages. The workers are not dissatisfied with this, and they even feel that they have earned money because they get more goods.

As for the nobles, he is not worried. He will go to the Privy Council when he has time recently. The old nobles have a good relationship with him, and they have also understood each other's thoughts during this time.

In recent years, the imperial power of the nobles has been suppressed quite miserably. It is true that a powerful minister is needed to check and balance the power of the emperor a little and give the nobles a chance to breathe.

With the plan to take action on the businessmen and the follow-up support of the nobles, it is only a matter of time before this bank run crisis is resolved.

However, this plan is not a good plan. Once the country runs out of money, it will attack businessmen and capitalists. There is no doubt that the market will gradually lose some vitality. This method can only be used in special times.

No one expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave a new direction beyond the Prime Minister's ideas, borrowing money to tide over the difficulties.

To be honest, the first time this idea entered the mind of the Prime Minister, he instinctively rejected it because of face issues.

If the Gefra Empire borrows money from other countries, what will those countries think?

It was obviously just a small problem, but it turned out to be so troublesome and completely unnecessary.

But after his instinctive aversion disappeared, he had some new views, such as slightly changing things within an acceptable range.

If money can be borrowed from the outside world to resolve the bank run, there will not be too many changes to the current domestic industrial structure and the aristocratic structure.

Many people at the bottom are always stupid enough to think that if something is not what they want, reform will be enough.

They can even cite various examples where a certain company's system reform was successful and the company was reborn.

The system reform of a certain country has been successful, and the country has embarked on the road of becoming prosperous and powerful...

But people don’t understand that the so-called reform is not something that can be completely changed by just one change. There are bound to be many obstacles on the road to reform. These obstacles must be overcome first before the real reform can be successful.

The problem is that all the obstacles are actually vested interests in this country, which can also be said to be the ruling class and the privileged class.

No one would break his own head and feed others with blood, but some things must change after all.

Making some changes from top to bottom within the scope of capabilities, relatively safely, may be the way forward.

After thinking about it, he nodded, "This is a solution that can be solved, but I don't know who can help us?" He looked up at His Majesty the Emperor, "A Baile man?"

The emperor's reply was quick, "Why not, or do you have other good options?"

The Prime Minister shook his head and continued to remain silent, weighing whether this would be of sufficient benefit to his stay in power.

No one raised any obvious objections, and of course no one agreed. His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "This is a way, but it is difficult to succeed in the short term. We cannot simply place our hopes on the possibility that others can help us. superior."

"We also need to be prepared to solve this crisis as quickly as possible without anyone helping us..."

After talking about it, it finally came back to the idea of ​​getting some money from some unimportant people, but they said it in a different way.

"I noticed that some people played a very disgraceful role in the run, gentlemen."

"Our kindness and tolerance are given to good citizens of the Empire and legitimate businessmen who abide by the law, not to these people."

"If you want to make people obey the rules, you must first make them feel fear..."

His Majesty the Emperor continued to look at the Prime Minister, "You take charge."

He didn't name who he was, but everyone knew what to do. When things got to this point, the people ignored the government's announcements and requests. They had lost their awe. It was time for them to remember that this was not the federation. , this is Gevra

A monarchy, a country that is “rotten” in the minds of people in some developed countries!

That night, police cars began to roar through the Imperial Capital. It was said that a large number of police officers were dispatched in cities around the Imperial Capital and even in cities further afield.

These policemen, known as "the lackeys of the empire," including secret policemen, appeared in large numbers and began to openly arrest some promoters.

Some are real promoters, such as some businessmen, some people who don't take it too seriously, and some speculators.

There are still some suspects. As for the extent of the suspicion, it will depend on the results of subsequent interrogations.

What happened in Gefra spread quickly to the entire world. After all, this former military power has always been the focus of everyone's attention. The emperor once talked about it proudly.

He said that Gaevra was the center of the world, and people's eyes were focused on the core of the country, even on his palace.

What he says in the morning will reach the surrounding countries at noon, and before sunset, dignitaries around the world will know what he said.

He had been proud of it before, but now it was clear something bad was going on here, and the whole world knew before sundown.

"Gefra has encountered a financial crisis." In the presidential office of the Bayler Federation, the president was playing with the pen in his hand. He was not at all interested in what the people sitting below were saying.

Nominally speaking, he is a typical radical of the Progressive Party, but in fact, in his heart, he still misses the time when he lived his own life behind closed doors, unlike now, when domestic affairs are not enough, and international affairs are still affecting him. with his energy.

He seemed to be listening very seriously, and all he was thinking about was the election.

He has begun giving public campaign speeches, in prominent places, at universities, and on television.

This is the clarion call for the election campaign, and the general attack is about to begin.

Conservative candidates have also begun to carry out relevant campaign work. If Lynch returns to Bupen at this time, he will find that the streets are full of posters showing Mr. President smiling and showing his teeth.

Oh, and his campaign quotes.

All he cares about are these things. I wonder how much headache Emperor Gaevra has now, but this matter is still very important after all, so he convened such a meeting.

He glanced at Mr. Trueman and seemed very relaxed. With him here, these problems would not be problems that troubled him in the end.

"This is consistent with the results of Mr. Trueman's previous analysis..." The person from the Ministry of National Defense did not forget to glance at Mr. Trueman while speaking, with a little surprise in his eyes.

He was just expressing his shock at Mr. Trueman's foresight. No wonder he is not only the president's most trusted staff member, but is also about to enter the federal political stage. This time, there is background music belonging to him, no longer. Get on stage with a group of people.

Mr. Trueman nodded slightly and said that this was indeed the case. He was also a little curious. His understanding of the matter was limited to some written content. He had no idea what Lynch had done to make Gaevra The situation deteriorated so quickly.

The person from the Ministry of National Defense continued, "Now Gaevra is facing a big trouble that has never happened before and has no experience. We are not sure whether this is a good opportunity, but we are not willing to let it go so easily, so We called everyone together to discuss and discuss whether there is room for us to intervene."

Next, people from the Ministry of National Defense told what happened to Gevra in more detail. After listening to it, everyone felt nothing, and the president was gradually attracted by the story-like narrative.

When the people from the Ministry of National Defense closed their eyes, Mr. President looked at him for a few seconds, and then asked with some surprise, "Is this the end?"

The people from the Ministry of Defense nodded, a little embarrassed, "Yes, this is what is happening..."

Mr. President suddenly smiled and shook his head, "I thought something big happened, it was just a run..."

The tone he spoke seemed to be that of an ordinary person, and that was indeed the case. In the federation's not-too-long history, runs like this happened frequently.

According to statistics, from the beginning of the Federation to the present, there have been close to three hundred banks of various types throughout the Federation, but as of now, the number of banks does not exceed twenty.

There is a question here. Where are the remaining 300 banks?
