Chapter 1029 Central Bank of the Middle East and North Africa

The Tiger tank is not a cold armored machine. The inside of the tank is even padded with leather. Even if there is a collision, it will be safe.

Just look at the armor of the armored soldiers. The Soviet armored soldiers must wear a tank cap, because the inside of the tank is made of steel, and if you are not careful, you will bump your head into a bag, while the inside of the German tank is a luxurious leather package. , The German tanker only needs to wear an ordinary military cap, and then clip a headset on it, which looks extremely handsome.

Wearing a marshal's uniform, Rommel walked into the Prime Minister's Office.

"Marshal Rommel, you are welcome." Rashid's face was full of smiles. The tall and handsome Germanic man in front of him could decide the future of the whole of Iraq in one word!

Rasheed also knew how important Rommel's visit this time was, so he had no sleep all night, and now, his eye circles are a little darkened.

"Prime Minister Rasheed, you have done a good job." Sitting on the throne, Rommel said to Rasheed: "You have started a jihad against the rule of George VI, which makes Berlin very satisfied. Ciri Führer K has also praised you in Berlin, and he is very relieved that you are in Iraq."

"I would like to thank Fuhrer Cyric for his trust. I will not betray Fuhrer Cyric's trust. We are forming a Workers' Party. We all admire Fuhrer Cyric very much," Rashid said.

There is no doubt that Iraq will completely fall to Germany from now on. Now, it depends on how much return Iraq can get from this choice.

"As a result of the short-sightedness of the corrupt and incompetent former Prime Minister Nouri, Iraq has suffered heavy losses, especially, a large number of pounds in the Iraqi treasury have been turned into waste paper." Rommel said: "Führer Cyric is considerate. The Iraqi people living in dire straits have made a special decision that the existing British pounds in Iraq can be exchanged with euros, but the exchange ratio can only be carried out according to the previous exchange rate of five to one."

It was a chat just now. Next, it finally involves the most important aspect, the first is the economy!

The currency of the Iraqi country will undergo a comprehensive replacement. After the replacement, Iraq will also be included in the entire euro area!

Iraq was originally a British colony. Therefore, the foreign exchange reserves of Iraqi countries are mainly sterling, which belongs to a country in the sterling area that accounts for the majority of the world.

At the same time, Iraq also issued its own currency, the dinar, which is only 1,000 fils and 20 dirhams.

The battle against British colonization broke out in Iraq, and when Iraq finally became independent, the British government declared that the dinar had the same level of value as the British pound.

After all, although Britain ended its colonial rule, it still has troops stationed in Iraq, and the oil in Iraq is still controlled by the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom will not watch Iraq's economy break away from its control.

The direct link between the dinar and the British pound is one of them.

In later generations, the Iraqi government did not separate the Iraqi dinar from the British pound until after Iraq's complete independence in 1959, but people in the world still used to compare the value of the Iraqi dinar to the British pound, and this continued until Sterling depreciated until 1967.

Now, the first demand mentioned by Rommel is to completely end the pound and replace it with the euro!

"In this way, it is most beneficial to Iraq's economic growth. Iraq's main income comes from oil exports, and the exported oil is also settled in euros. Iraq can directly use euros to buy various items from Europe, such as grain. , industrial machines, such as weaponry.”

Having said this, Rommel paused for a while and continued: "The combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army is too poor. Tens of thousands of people attacked an air base, but they couldn't defeat it. After Iraq has completely completed its reforms, we can export to Iraq's advanced Tanks and planes give Iraq the ability to maintain the most powerful military force in the Middle East."

Originally, when he heard that Iraq would completely abandon its original currency and use the euro, Rashid still resisted in his heart. After all, any country hopes to independently control the economic lifeline of its own country. Handing it over to someone else is quite dangerous.

But can he refuse the Germans' proposal? Of course not, if he refuses, the Germans will change a new person to be prime minister at any time!

Now, it's up to Iraq to see how much benefit Iraq can get.

Now, Germany promises to sell advanced weapons to Iraq, and Rashid suddenly shines. If there are German weapons to arm, that would be great!

"Iraq is the first country to fully promote the euro. After that, it will quickly transition to the entire Middle East and North Africa region and use the euro as legal tender." Of course, Rommel will not give Rashid any chance to refuse. What does Germany say? , the following can only be done!

In the past, Rommel had been busy with the war. Now, he has finally advanced to Iraq and connected it with Iran. Rommel's actions have ended temporarily. He can also make other arrangements, starting from Iraq!

"As a country, we will have a central bank for North Africa and the Middle East in Baghdad, on par with the branch in London," Rommel continued.

Now, the European Central Bank has been put into normal operations, with its head office in Paris and its branch in London. And now, with the German army advancing into the Middle East, there will be a central bank for the Middle East and North Africa.

When he heard this sentence, Rashid felt his eyelids have been jumping, for Iraq, this is a perfect opportunity!

Iraq not only wants to get rid of British colonial rule, but also wants to dominate the entire Middle East! Now, what the Germans mean is to make Iraq the political, economic and cultural center of the Middle East and North Africa!

It's heartwarming enough to think that all countries will enter the Eurozone and Iraq will be their leader.

Rashid's eyes were already shining. He nodded and said to Rommel: "We Iraq will fully support this plan."

Rasheed's statement made Rommel very satisfied, and Rommel continued: "The base camp has made a decision to establish a governor in the Middle East and North Africa. It is an honor, I am the first governor, Baghdad is very good, I decided to set up the Governor's Palace in Baghdad."
