What is supposed to come will always come. The storm is about to come, and the financial market relies on news to survive!
Ever since the news of Xiao Letian's disappearance secretly spread to the Chinese, the temporarily established military control cabinet knew that something bad was going on and the enemy would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
Secret preparations for war have become the primary strategic task. The Chinese army must make complete preparations for the upcoming war in the future!
But purchasing various supplies requires money, and where does the money come from? Does it all depend on the treasury’s financial resources? That's not enough. A large part of the Chinese nation's finances are maintained by debt, and banknotes and cash can ostensibly be exchanged for silver.
But everyone in the know knows that once paper money is printed, it will be printed in large quantities. It is impossible to print only one tael of paper money when there is only one tael of silver in the treasury!
Maybe it's one tael of silver banknotes printed with three taels of silver banknotes, maybe it's ten taels of silver banknotes. This is a secret of the Chinese!
In order to prevent large-scale runs on exchanges by the public, we must maintain the confidence of the country. The confidence cannot fail!
Under such circumstances, there is only one way to raise military expenditures for the war, which is to rely on poor information to deceive, which is to drink poison to quench thirst!
Why was Xiang Ying able to lead the battleships into Shanghai and into the Yangtze River? Its purpose is to use powerful military power to inspire people, and to use military control of Jiangnan to maintain the stability of the financial market!
This is a shot of cardiotonic, it will definitely have an effect, regardless of whether it has side effects, it will definitely work at the time anyway!
The stock and bond markets in Shanghai, Jinling, Suzhou, etc. have all been stimulated to skyrocket. The capital stock market has been forcibly closed. At present, the stock market in the Jiangnan region, under the premise that the Manchu and Qing government in the north is fighting a civil war, has actually reached a new high!
But after reaching a new high, there were violent fluctuations. The prices of various stocks jumped up and down, and the prices of various commodity futures also began to rise!
Do you think this is a booming market? Big mistake, this is actually the Chinese drawing blood in the capital market, and then using the extracted funds to purchase various war materials in large quantities!
Not to mention arms, all kinds of dual-use materials must be hoarded, including cotton, coal, steel, wood, grain, cement... everything, except luxury goods, as long as the prices of civilian supplies start to rise, the government will start to Hoarding.
What's even more subtle is that there has been a sudden wave of selling in the antiques industry in the Chinese market. Many treasures that were rarely seen in the past are now being sold at a discount!
There is even a complete set of bronze ritual vessels for sale in Suzhou. In the past, these items were priced but not marketable. The collectors would not even let the common people see them. Now they are all sold!
The ordinary people who are unaware of it have no idea, but the really smart businessmen have already had their doubts!
The entire month of May has been a period of arbitrage for the Chinese people from the capital market, but the more blood is drawn, the market will always perform. Now the market has dropped 20% from its previous high, and some people have already felt that something is wrong. .
As a result, a big piece of news hit us today, completely shattering the last fragile people's hearts!
The news that Britain had formed the Great White Fleet finally reached China, and the capital market suddenly went into shock!
On May 28, the day when Wang Junlan wanted to meet the prince, the major Chinese stock markets plunged 7%, including the Shanghai stock market index, which plunged more than 10%.
Although a large amount of money supported the market in the late trading and the index rebounded, people's hearts have been threatened, especially the gossip about the final fleet that is getting worse and worse!
After the news reached Naha, the Chinese government issued an official document to stabilize the market that night and printed it in major newspapers. The official document denied all unfavorable market rumors!
He also reaffirmed a series of friendship treaties signed by the head of state and the United Kingdom. The official document clearly stated that all conflicts between the Chinese and the British today are minor conflicts and are just a little shock caused by the change of British Prime Minister.
There is nothing to worry about. The Chinese have the ability to resolve these conflicts. Even if the situation reaches the most serious point, the Chinese Iron Army has the ability to protect all people!
At this time, all the battleships in Xiang Ying's hands had returned to the sea. In order to cooperate with this official document, the spokesperson of the Chinese Navy also published bombshell news in the newspaper.
On the 29th, the Chinese Navy will conduct a joint live-fire exercise with the Eight King Kongs!
Everything is to stabilize people's hearts, and the top management already knows very well at this moment that what is coming will be unstoppable, and everything has reached the stage of closing the net.
After the meeting between Ito and Mrs. Tiger, he quickly left the back mountain. He said to his subordinates, "The stock market can no longer hold on. Sell it. Don't keep any!"
"The supplies from China are no longer available. Let's stop dreaming...bring the funds back to Fuso and North Korea...buy all the supplies you can and spend all the money!"
"Except for gold, other currencies have no retained value...except for the pound and the US dollar. We still have to reserve some currencies of the European powers!"
"Gentlemen... The prince's great career depends on this huge gamble... If we draw the British on the high seas, we can calmly negotiate with the British!"
"Everything is for the prince!" Many East Palace officials bowed deeply in the direction of the prince's study. Soon these people dispersed and performed their duties!
A Chou's figure flashed out from behind Ito. Ito did not look back and just whispered, "Share Wang Junlan's information... to Xiang Ying. Our naval commander must also know it!"
"Ah? Isn't this bad... After all, Madam didn't give the order!" A Chou hesitated.
Ito smiled and said, "You don't understand this! Men are very jealous... Think about it carefully, what would Xiang Ying think if he knew that the flower of our navy actually helped Emperor Tongzhi to ask for the magic medicine? ?”
"Everyone knows that Emperor Tongzhi has a crush on this senior sister! Everyone knows that Xiang Ying and Zai Chun are life-and-death enemies... Let's add another fire at this time and completely burn out the last connection between Xiang Ying and Zai Chun!"
"Haha... Zai Chun dares to covet the position of the heir of the Chinese family, then he should be damned!" Ito gritted his molar teeth and said fiercely, "No one can challenge Fu Yin'er's position!"
"All potential threats must be strangled to death! Even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"
"Without the head of state, Xiang Ying is already the well-deserved commander-in-chief of the navy. His position is too important... At this time, we must win over him. Even if he cannot be an ally, we cannot let him be an enemy!"
"Sharing intelligence is such a small favor, shouldn't we do it?"
A Chou nodded, "I understand! I'll just listen to you... I'll find someone to arrange it right away!"
What surprised Ito and A Chou was that after the information was delivered to Xiang Ying, the person who delivered the news responded that Xiang Ying's expression was very calm without any disturbance!
This was a bit unexpected, but Ito was relieved when the live-fire exercise came. The British fired twice as many live rounds as planned!
The sound of gunfire rumbled on the sea, and the beach of Chongming Island was bombed into a mess. Black smoke rushed into the air and even the people on the outskirts of Shanghai could faintly see it.
