Vol 4 Chapter 42: Kill, don't need to see blood

The Fed’s benchmark interest rate increased by 0.5%.
It was like a heavy hammer that hit An Ning's chest so hard that he turned pale. Germany’s high interest rates have already brought tremendous pressure to the Finnish mark. Now the Fed has raised interest rates again, as I thought with my butt, domestic capital would accelerate outflow and flow into the US market.
This is simply an invisible plunder for Finland.
What is even more frightening is the subsequent series of reactions. Germany is now the world’s third largest reserve currency. With the ambitions of the Germans, in order to ensure the status of the Deutsche Mark in the global currency, it is bound to compete with the US dollar. If Germany chooses to follow the United States The pace of raising interest rates will inevitably bring huge pressure on the Finnish Mark.
The sun in midsummer, with a hot temperature, shines on people through the glass, even with an air conditioner, there is a burning sensation. But Anning couldn't feel the heat from the sun, only the icy cold deep in my heart, which was even more icy than the winter night of the blizzard in October.
Although the exchange rate is not right or wrong, once the exchange rate goes out of control, it will be a disaster.
"President. What should we do?"
How to do?
An Ning smiled bitterly, laughing more ugly than crying.
The Soviet Union has fallen, and the United States, Germany, and Japan are vying for currency control. Finland’s current situation is just like a fish in the pool. There is no choice at all.
"I hope the British and French can hold back the Germans. I don't think they want the situation to get worse."
"..."
From a certain department, An Ning guessed right.
As an ancient empire in Europe, neither France nor Britain would like to see the German mark too strong.
The London property market is precarious, the unemployment rate is rising, and low interest rates are needed to stimulate inflation. For France, the status of the franc has been suppressed by the Mark. If the Mark strengthens, the position in the core of the ecu will inevitably be strengthened again and become the ecu Absolutely dominant, this is not in the interest of France.
Unfortunately, Anning guessed a little wrong. In other words, he still underestimated the strength and perseverance of the Germans. He did not understand the great ideals and ambitions carried by Helmut Kohl, nor did he know at all. How much Helmut Schlesinger values ​​the independence of the Bundesbank.
uTc+2, ten o'clock in the morning.
frankfurt, Germany.
Helmut Kohl stood with his hands on his back, standing on the Rhine River not far from the central bank, looking out at the beautiful scenery of the river.
The sparkling water surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds. Sailboats and cruise ships float on the water surface. As the sun shines, they reflect bright colors. The surrounding trees cover the sky, and the verdant branches and leaves reflect on the river surface. The flowing of the river makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Looking at the young people playing in the river, Helmut Cole's memory could not help but float to decades ago.
At that time, just after the war, he joined the German Christian Democratic Union, and later received a doctorate in history. Later, he went to Frankfurt to attend university, study law, and then transferred to history and social sciences. Wonderful time of blood.
Regrettably, although the war has passed, everything left after the war is still destroying this country. The German Empire has also been divided into two different camps. Relatives can only kiss their relatives across the wall, suffering from the pain of separation, and friends can only face each other far away and cherish the memory of the former friendship with tobacco.
War will not make Germany stronger, but will only bring pain.
He was wrong.
Although capital has caused injustice, selfishness, and various crimes, capital is also fair. Selfishness makes mankind work harder, and the pursuit of wealth has also changed the course of mankind.
People have bad roots, but this kind of bad roots under capital has a good side. Capital makes the economy prosper and makes people's lives better.
The battlefield in human history has never been cut off. Countless people have died in the war, but capital can make this war more gentle. The success of the Jews in wealth proves that capital is indeed right. It can change the world with a milder war, and why it is necessary to destroy the beauty of the world with a worse outcome.
He was really wrong.
The country was unified without a bloodbath, and the Soviet Union fell apart without too many casualties. This has already demonstrated a lot of things. Benefits are not necessarily achieved by killing and lives. As long as the benefits are sufficient, the pursuit of benefits in the human genes Next, it is entirely possible to change this country with more gentle means.
In this regard, the Jews have done very well.
The cruel war is full of destruction, making people crazy and losing themselves.
Helmut Kohl's side, Helmut Schlesinger in a neat suit, holding a straw pipe pot, standing side by side with him.
If you are seen by the outside world, you will be surprised. Schlesinger's smoking posture is very natural, and he is not restrained at all because of Helmut Kohl’s prime minister. The two stood together and did not want to be subordinate at all. Peer relations are more like friends.
In fact, it is not surprising.
Helmut is the largest surname in Germany and has the same aspirations. Cole and Schlesinger were like-minded friends in the early days.
They have the same ideals, the same aspirations, and the same ambitions.
Let Germania once again be strong, and without bloodshed and war.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and a few leaves fluttered in front of the two of them and fell into the river. As the river flowed, they slowly drifted away.
Helmut Cole looked at the distant leaves and said to Schlesinger.
"John Major called me yesterday, hoping that we can delay the pace of raising interest rates, but I do not like his arrogant attitude."
John Major, the new leader of the Conservative Party, is also the British prime minister who was replaced by Mrs. Thatcher two years ago. For this prime minister who likes to make street campaign speeches, Schlesinger is not at all cold.
In his opinion, Major's slogan is still obsessed with the glory of the empire that never sets, and he does not realize who is the true king without a crown in Europe.
Not dare to say this, Schlesinger would not say it, he believed that Cole had the same view as himself.
Holding the pipe pot and flicking the soot, Schlesinger raised his eyebrows.
"After all, he approved the signing of the Maastricht Treaty by Britain, how do you answer?"
"I said that this is the responsibility of the central bank, and it is not convenient for me to intervene too much."
Schlesinger shrugged helplessly.
"Okay. As expected, you still like playing football as you did when you were studying. But I like your answer."
"..."
At noon, I accompanied Cole to a potluck meal. Schlesinger returned to the Central Bank Building. When he had just walked into the lobby, he helped Diane Kruger hurriedly greet him on high heels.
"Lamont just called. I told him that you went to dinner just now, but his phone never hung up."
Helmut Schlesinger's brows frowned.
Norman Lamont, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if British arrogance is annoying, Lamont's arrogance and arrogance are even more annoying.
He is always insulting and instructing, which makes people feel disgusted every time they hear it.
The ease brought about by the natural scenery of the Rhine was destroyed. However, political connections are inevitable as the governor of the central bank. Helmut Schlesinger had to endure his disgust and walked towards the office.
Sure enough, the phone in the office was still aside.
Helmut Schlesinger hung up intentionally, but after thinking about it, he picked up the phone.
"Oh. Lamont, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting."
"Helmut. I don't want to listen to you talking nonsense. Now, I think you know the plight of Britain. I need Germany to relax its current monetary policy."
grass! This arrogant fool.
Do you think Britain is still the empire that the sun never sets?
Now it's Britain that needs German help, but it looks like I have to cooperate with you.
Stupid X.
Helmut cursed in his heart. When Lamont came up, he was so angry that he wanted to curse. He had never seen a stupid man, and he had never seen a guy as arrogant, arrogant and stupid as the British.
In terms of economic strength, Germany now dares to be so arrogant and arrogant.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the anger of the curse, Helmut darkened his face, and his tone became cold.
"Lamont. I think you also know the current situation in Germany. We need to stabilize domestic inflation, and we also need to appease regional economic differences."
"Oh, God. Helmut, don't you understand what I'm talking about? Germany must relax its current monetary policy, it must."
Lamont! Believe it or not, Germany can now slap you Britain to death with one hand? No, believe it or not, I can kill you with just one finger?
Norman Lamont's tone and attitude immediately excited Helmut.
"Lamont. I will consider the request of the United Kingdom, but not now. My current responsibility ~EbookFREE.me~ is to suppress domestic inflation. Just like that, I have something to do, sorry."
Dudu--
"This is not a request..."
"Damn bastard, dare to hang up my phone."
On July 16, the Bundesbank announced that in order to curb inflation, it would raise the benchmark interest rate by 15 basis points. After adjustment, the executive interest rate was set to 7.6 basis points.
Raise 1.5% at one time and five basic points.
What concept?
One million deposits in the bank can be stable and out of thin air to make an extra 15 thousand bucks, and there will be no risk. With the German Central Bank, there is no risk at all.
It was like a bomb, thrown in the water, and instantly killed the fish and shrimp in the pond.
