Chapter 851 Invisible War

The smoke of gunpowder fills Africa, and in Europe, an invisible war is going on rapidly.

currency wars.

When the news of the euro came out, the whole of Europe was boiling, and people were talking differently.

For businessmen, a unified currency is of great benefit to them. When doing business in the whole of Europe, there is no need to exchange foreign exchange back and forth, and they can directly conduct transactions, 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 they become waste paper.

The main ones are the British pound, the franc and the mark, especially the British pound. The British pound has been an international currency for hundreds of years as an empire on which the sun never sets. Now it is quite troublesome to exchange all of them.

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

In this era, the money counting machine has not been invented yet, and all the money counting is done by hand, which makes it even more huge, so that even the president and senior management of the bank have to participate in the counting of money, and they have to count the money by hand. Find counterfeit coins and the like to prevent someone from fishing in troubled waters.

Of course, the appearance of counterfeit money will be a serious social criminal case. Reinhardt has set up a special agency to find out and trace it. Anyone who dares to make counterfeit money to make a fortune will be shot!

In addition to the three major issuing banks, other banks are also quite busy. All their windows are open, and there is a long queue outside to exchange for various citizens. In order to improve efficiency, they even extended their working hours. From six in the morning to ten in the evening.

Propaganda murals are posted everywhere on the bank's outer wall.

Win the battle for the euro!

Let us unite with Führer Cyric!

Make our contribution to a unified European currency!

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

In addition to the various occupation areas of Germany, other countries are also constantly traveling to and from Europe these days.

"Our cooperation with Sweden has always been very good." At the airport, the German foreign minister sent off 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 have good cooperation. 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 essential for German metallurgy.

Just after sending off the Swedish Minister of Finance, Ribbentrop saw the end of the runway, a special plane painted in various colors, aimed at the runway and landed.

Seeing this plane, Ribbentrop's peculiar smile of a diplomat filled up again. This is a special plane of the Hughes Company. If it is not expected, it should be Howard- Hughes!

Of course, when the plane stopped, he saw Howard wearing a flying cap, jumping out of the plane, and when he saw Ribbentrop, Howard waved his hand happily.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, I'm so glad to see you." Howard said, "I've shipped all the pounds, francs, and marks that our company has received over the years, hoping to convert them into euros for me."

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

Rich people are rich people, and now Howard is still the bohemian playboy and one of the richest people in the world.

Howard is not afraid that if something happens, all his money will fall into the sea. With this thought, Ribbentrop said: "Okay, no problem, Mr. Howard, your foreign exchange, We will arrange someone to exchange it for you, and tomorrow your plane will be full of euros, but do you plan to bring these euros back to the United States?"

Of course Ribbentrop had something to say.

Up to now, the U.S. government is still insisting, and even started to intimidate Germany, the U.S. wants to change, and it has to change at any time, and it doesn’t want euros, 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. The United States has so far been strongly supporting the British army in the Middle East.

The U.S. government doesn’t have long eyes, but the capitalists below are open to it. They can’t turn their foreign exchange into waste paper, right?

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

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

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

Just as during World War II in history, Hughes, Mobil Oil, Ford, etc. all had close ties with Germany. The United States was still helpless and did not punish these big capitalists who collaborated with the enemy.

"Mr. Howard, if you have any difficulties, please come to us in time. You can also ask for German nationality when you need it," said Ribbentrop.

For this Howard, the German side is quite polite, for no other reason, because Howard and Cyric 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 got in touch with Howard.

"I don't know the head of Cyric, if there is time, I really want to meet him." Howard said.

"I can take you to the Fuhrer's Palace, but the Fuhrer doesn't have to be there," Ribbentrop said.

"Okay, then I'll take advantage of this time to visit the company," Howard said.

Hughes also has a branch in Germany, which was created when the Atlantic passenger plane was jointly developed with Germany, and Hughes also made a lot of profits because of this intercontinental passenger plane.

Howard didn't know that when he returned to the company this time, he had an unexpected encounter with President Cyric.
