The deep pits in Iberia and Rem Billiton that look like traces of natural disasters, the intricate underground tunnels and rivers under the Sargon rainforest are the traces left at the beginning, but, for the current Terrans, it will be Most of these traces are regarded as some kind of miracle.
"Why is the weather still so cold?" After sending off the last batch of vehicles, before returning to the warm duty cabin, he looked up at the light gray sky. It was already spring, and it should be getting warmer, but the temperature didn't seem to be any worse. Change the look.
At the same time, Kjerag, "Are you okay?" The apprentice priest code-named Chuxue looked at the woman with shimmering blue eyes in front of her, who withdrew her gaze from looking at the sky, "I'm fine, nothing serious , is this year's Snow Mountain Festival going to start again?"
"There's still a while..."
"It's still a while." As if something was flowing in the blue eyes, he sighed weakly, "It's true that there is still a while, but it's almost there."
"Are you talking about a festival?" Chuxue seemed to have noticed something strange.
"Yes, the festivals are exactly the same every year. Can we have something special this year?" The woman smiled, "How about going out with me while there is still some time?"
"This......."
Above the snow-capped mountains, under the eternal rocks, the most complex and huge machinery and ancient electronic equipment that modern people can imagine are running quietly, and the energy flows quietly on each synthetic jade panel. Jets of neutrinos converge inside complex multi-curved antenna systems, and thick mountains are pierced by these ghostly particles as if they don't exist.
In the eyes of the "snow mountain gods" linked to it, the stars and the earth are like ghosts, just layers of thin and illusory shadows, and for the earth, she who carries information is also like a ghost on the edge of existence and non-existence .
The flow of particles traveling at sub-light speed easily penetrates the atmosphere and breaks free from the shackles of gravity, like an invisible fountain rising from the surface of the planet, passing through the vast void into the red sun, and returning to the planet after being reflected by the sun , turning into the phantom-like soft phantom light on the snow mountain.
It seems like a dreamland of snow-capped mountains, fleeting. At the same time, colorful flags are flying in the towns at the foot of the mountain, and the bustle of the festival gradually fills the entire valley like an overflowing lake. I'm used to it.
"To live is to have fun to the fullest, to see more things that you haven't seen before, otherwise you will think that the whole world is only as big as Kjerag"
"Are you... are you conveying something?"
"Ah no, I'm just an ordinary maid, aren't you the priest? Or, the future saint!" The woman blinked, and disappeared in front of Chuxue like a phantom.
No one knew how she appeared, and no one knew how she disappeared, as if no one knew what was wrong with her, even if the person who saw her first had been sleeping peacefully under the snow-capped mountains for a long time.
"Do you want to leave Kjerag?"
"Do you want to? Don't you want to? Who can tell~" There seemed to be some sound in the wind, but if you listen carefully, it seems to be just the monotonous echo of the wind chimes.
"For me, the world is really only as big as Kjerag~ I really want to see the outside world~ What's the difference?"
However, all antenna groups are highly directional, only at certain times of the year, in order to track the real-time intelligence of the sun and a possible little echo from the world of eternal silence, there will be such a small angle, and the side lobes will sweep across the snow-capped mountains A small area around it disappeared into the ground clutter.
The whistling wind and snow gradually submerged any subtle anomalies on the snow mountain, and within the mountain, the grand matrix that completed information collection and processing once again entered a state of silence, and it continued to observe the snow mountain and the snow mountain silently. Everything in Kjerag seems to be just a little bit bigger than the whole world.
"Ah!" Nian sneezed, "Damn it, I also catch a cold, it shouldn't be, this body is not flesh and blood at all, it doesn't make sense." Other than the formed subvirus, nothing strange was found.
"No, it's not a cold, but something touched me spiritually..." Nian tapped his palm with a fan, "Who could it be? It doesn't seem to come from inside the matrix." After all, the "god" who was one and united It will not send out pulses in such a... rude and inefficient way.
"Master Nian, do you still have something to do?"
"Wait, there's still something to do, I'll pass it later!" Nian responded, and sent a message to the distance, "Xi, do you know that there are still newcomers waking up?"
"No, there is no problem with the matrix consciousness wave, and no new active objects have been found in the brain wave signal detection. What happened?"
"Probably some kind of illusion, or maybe...forget it, it's nothing, you pay attention to the signal nodes at all levels, maybe there are other things from that year that are still alive" Nian thought for a while, and added "Always alive, not the same as us, but similar"
"artificial intelligence?"
"Maybe, who knows?" After all, almost all of Terra's technology and strength have been invested in such a big plan. If there are no spare tires and spare parts, no matter whether others believe it or not, she will not believe it anyway.
"What kind?""
Who knows which one it is, no matter which one it is, it is a variable in this era. "Nian is quite optimistic. The stagnant water in Terra, the more variables, the better, because the stagnant water will be evaporated by the sun sooner or later, and only the living water has a chance of survival.
In the southern plains of Kazdale, the supplies mobilized as much as possible are like throwing stones into the water, which can only cause short-term ripples, making people wonder if someone is pocketing their own pockets. However, in the face of tens of millions of relief projects, these Materials are a drop in the bucket.
The recovery of production in the northern occupied area has only improved slightly, and now it is immediately carrying the heavy burden of the south. Even if the doctor and Kelsey move around, it will be difficult to sustain.
"It seems that we can only cash out with hard currency." The doctor was silent for a long time, and then said, "The consequences of doing so are very serious, almost equivalent to..."
"Pull the world into hell," said the little tiger who was holding her daughter in a different position. Of course, she knew the consequences of this, after all, her business talent was very good.
"Yes, but I will never regret anything I have done or will do." The doctor folded his hands in front of him, "This move is certainly beneficial to us, but..." However But it will enter the battle of the general trend ahead of time. This is not a good thing, just like a stunned youth who stepped into the battlefield without being prepared.
"Then let's cash out. To be honest, we have a lot of hard currency. In fact, in comparison, the easiest way is to oversell." Lao Xia said, yes, there is enough hard currency as a guarantee now. Including source stones and red gold, super hair is the easiest way.
However, the current problem is that Kazdel's output and materials have reached the limit, and foreign procurement involves another problem, that is, whether the super-issued currency is recognized by international trade.
If the accident happened later in the south, and if the financial speed was faster, then the crisis could be greatly alleviated, and even the Great Depression caused by the tightening of Terra's purchasing power could be alleviated.
Because Kazdel has enough gold and origin stones to print money crazily, and the money is not used to play financial games to become numbers on the rich man's account or become meaningless gold in the vault, but in the form of orders into a commodity, into the wages of the worker.
It’s as if God injected purchasing power and currency into Terra’s market, thereby alleviating or even delaying the emergence of the Great Depression. However, due to political reasons, the currency of New Kazdel is not recognized at all and can only be circulated internally. However, the internal circulation cannot produce materials exceeding the internal output value.
Therefore, there are two ways. The first is to use hard currency to exchange foreign currency, such as Longmen currency, and then use Longmen currency to make large purchases. However, this will lead to the appreciation of Longmen currency. Simply put, there will be a state similar to "money is expensive and copper is cheap". , People have thrown out precious metals and bought currency to hold.
Because the value increase brought about by the appreciation of the currency itself has exceeded the value that can be generated by lending or consumption. Simply put, currency has changed from a transaction medium into a value-preserving commodity that is up for sale. They will scramble to increase their holdings of currency instead of buying things-because no matter what you buy, you will lose money if you spend it.
And this kind of phenomenon will encourage the appreciation of the currency itself, causing more people to refuse to invest and consume, or need a relatively high interest and premium to spend it to compensate for the loss.
In the end, the Longmen coin released by the Xia Group has not entered the circulation market, and the precious metals they use to exchange for the Longmen coin will enter the market quickly. Even if the nuclear-powered money printing machine is activated, it will take time to offset deflation by releasing water. , Of course, in this case, Longmen may benefit the most, and Kazdel's side is a lose-lose.
The second method is direct hard currency transactions and bartering. However, a new problem arises, that is, here is a bulk purchase, and the barter payment is gold or source stones, and the seller must send the gold In order to pay wages to the workers, the gold and source stones must be turned into currency. In this way, the other party must frantically buy and collect currency in the market, and realize these gold and source stones.
The crisis has been passed on, but it hasn't disappeared. It's just that this behavior has changed from Xia's Group itself to countless purchasing companies. The depreciation of commodities and the continuous reduction of currency have driven the crazy promotion of currency, and the profits of trading itself cannot offset the income brought by currency speculation.
The result of the two methods is the same - catastrophic deflation, and the only difference is that the affected area will expand wildly, which can be regarded as a slight dilution of the severity of the disaster in disguise, and it is better for everyone to open printing presses together than Longmen alone The super issue comes fast, as long as the super issue is fast enough, then this crisis is not impossible to become an opportunity.
Because these hard currencies are linked to the currency, a large amount of currency can be issued to inject purchasing power into the market. However, there is a very important prerequisite for this, that is, can the money released by quantitative easing enter the purchasing market?
If the currency depreciates wildly, then consumption will become the mainstream. Neither capitalists nor bankers will keep money at home, but take it out and turn it into commodities and assets. In this way, money will flow, production will continue, and the economy will The activity proceeded normally.
Therefore, economically, proper inflation and oversupply are conducive to production and economic development, which is also the original meaning and purpose of the existence of the financial industry, and proper deflation is also conducive to industrial reform, and those who are backward and inefficient Kicked off the industry, forcing capitalists to carry out industrial reforms, improve efficiency and new technologies.
And these inputs and benefits will in turn compensate for the consequences of deflation and inflation. However, the consequences of any financial phenomenon out of control are catastrophic-and are the governments of Terra now able to survive this crisis?
"Dayan may only be able to build a dam to get through. Ursus and Casimir will be hit hard, and Victoria will lose half of his life if he doesn't die...Colombia depends on luck. If it reacts quickly, it can survive. On the contrary, Dosores may take the opportunity to break free from the shackles of Colombia, for them, this is not a crisis but a golden opportunity." The doctor roughly calculated the situation of the countries in Terra.
To turn this crisis into an opportunity, it is necessary to quickly turn hard currency into super-issued currency, so that hard currency can continue to maintain its price, and avoid a large number of sell-offs leading to crazy currency appreciation. money in the hands of more consumers—there are many ways to do this, but the best way is often the hardest one.
That is the method of "Roosevelt's New Deal", crazy infrastructure construction, long-term construction, and the issuance of excess currency to a large group of unemployed poor men, which increases the total number of assets, expands and maintains production, and injects enough purchasing power. It's just that the indicators don't cure the root cause, but they can indeed save lives.
However, this requires a very high level of government execution and overall planning capabilities to ensure that the money is really distributed instead of becoming a noble and rich man, threatening the family's treasury. If the latter occurs, it will only die faster and constitute a A "deflation-depression-inflation" sequence, three consecutive economic disasters no country can withstand.
The other method is much simpler. It is also to inject funds into the poor, and it is also to eat more than enough food, using San Dezi's method-cannons but not butter.
The over-issued currency, and even the money defrauded from bankers, capitalists, and nobles with the promise of high interest rates, are invested in military construction, and then foreign wars are paid by the dividends obtained from plunder.
As long as we can continue to find objects of plunder, we can continue to consume excess population, excess commodities, and excess industries, and maintain this usury so that it will not go bankrupt.
As for the scene of Terra at that time, everyone can imagine what it looks like.
Chapter 90 Salted Fish Turns Over and Jumps into the Waves
Procurement, what a heart-warming word in this economic winter, facing the huge and incomprehensible orders thrown by Kazdel, even those big Victorian businessmen and Rem who are ready to support the warlords and the remnants of Tracys must The mine owners who expanded were shaken.
In the final analysis, the support for the Kazdel Civil War is not for this dumping market. Now that the other party has thrown out such a huge order as the demand of half the country, is this battle still going to be fought?
But there is a problem. Because Kazdel lacks sufficient foreign exchange reserves and the local currency is not recognized, he proposes to settle with hard currency red gold and origin stone, which is equivalent to gold and oil in modern trade. It is also true in essence. It can be used as money. For example, the U.S. dollar becomes the settlement currency only when it is linked to oil.
No one can watch the neighboring countries make money while they lose money. Those factory owners and bourgeois aristocrats quickly began to form new opposition groups to fight fiercely with the traditional aristocratic faction that insisted on suppressing Kazdel.
For a country like Colombia that doesn't need this kind of struggle at all, it immediately grabbed the most lucrative orders, including various alloy materials, production machinery and even cargo ships, etc., even if Colombia and the world have a little IQ Everyone knows that every machine sold at this time will become its own competitor in the future.
But now is the Great Depression, if you sell these advanced production machines, you can still live, and you may not be the one who will die in the future, but if you don’t sell them for the sake of other competitors in the future, you will die now, this multiple-choice question , Those big bourgeois and bourgeois aristocrats can make choices within one second.
It's just that bartering is an extremely difficult thing to convert profits. It is almost difficult for both parties to determine whether they have made a profit or a loss after the transaction. Therefore, price adjustments will be very frequent. A large amount of smelted red gold and densely packed pure gold The source stones were sent out through the Syracuse Corridor, and returned as various urgently needed materials in the south.
This allowed Syracuse, who had just reached a tacit agreement with Kazdel, to quickly break free from the Great Depression just by eating this passing economy. Clothing and housing, plus the cost of supplementary fuel, fresh water and food, as well as the tariffs are a huge amount of income.
In terms of trade, the two parties agreed to settle with Longmen coins, but pay the source stones and red gold equivalent to Longmen coins as payment means instead of paying Longmen coins directly. In other words, the Longmen coins flowing into the market are basically 0, while the The red gold and origin stones equivalent to Longmen coins are increasing crazily.
The south of Kazdale is gradually calmed down. As long as there are enough supplies, the suppression of the rebellion will be very fast. As long as one place is conquered and production and people's livelihood resumed, it will be difficult to become a rebel area again.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the kind wanted to be suppressed but could not be appeased. If they surrendered, they would not be killed. A little bone and blood are exhausted.
But the doctor’s side is different. When the next place is suppressed, disaster relief supplies are immediately organized to enter, and compressed biscuits, canned meat, and agricultural tools are distributed, and young and strong laborers are organized to clean up the ruins, clean up the wasteland, and prepare for the rush to plant. It is naturally impossible to be coerced again when it is incorporated and integrated.
After the initial suppression and containment and reorganization are completed, the honest, honest, and innocent people will be selected to enter the new barracks for training, so as to cultivate a local recruit army. These people are familiar with the terrain and are more likely to be accepted by the locals. It will bring some hidden dangers in the future, but compared to the tragic situation of half-occupied land, the price is still worth it.
"In the final analysis, Tracy's regime collapsed too quickly. Others' houses only leaked from the top of the boat, but his entire boat was leaking everywhere."
"Since he abandoned the north, it has been a ship that is doomed to sink. No one can't see this clearly, including his men. On a ship that is doomed to sink, those rats will no longer care about anything , I just want to make a fortune in the shortest time." The doctor added, "So, how about the border blockade?"
"Skadi has already led people there. Although hunters are not very good at fighting terrestrial species, we are very good at hunting." Ghost Shark laughed. The hunter army is very embarrassing in Kazdel's military force. They Good at dealing with large monsters and sea descendants, but there are not so many strange things here, and on the frontal battlefield...
Even Skadi and Gloria said that on the frontal battlefield, if there is no terrain as a cover to quickly meet the enemy, then the only end is that they will be killed if they can't even see the enemy's face.
Therefore, in theory, the best use of the hunter troop is to throw it into the city street fighting. In Skadi's words, if it is a street fighting in the city, she can kill any Kazdel now except the snow monster and the shield guard. If a legion was hacked to death, he would suffer minor injuries at most.
Kazdale Frontier,
"It's so boring~" The young silver-haired girl squatted on a big rock. As a recruit of the Deep Sea Hunters, she was told that she was no longer needed here after finishing her training. It was really frustrating to be thrown into a dry place like Kazdale. People are upset.
"Where's the prey you agreed to? Why can't I see the slightest shadow until now, and I just keep walking every day."
"Shut up" Skadi glanced at her, "Quiet, listen" The sand and air are conveying information, and the slight tremor conveys the sound of the prey's footsteps.
"Hey~ I caught you!" There was a hint of a smile in the girl's red eyes.
"Let's go!" Skadi disappeared in place, the hunter's speed was very fast, every step seemed to be a shadow shuttle on the ground, as if flying in the air, and soon, an ugly convoy appeared in front of her before.
This is not a regular entry and exit checkpoint. Therefore, the convoys that appear here are definitely not normal vehicles for transporting materials and hard currency into and out of the country. Whether it is bandits or those escaped mice, it is the same for Skadi—— Hack them all and you're done!
"Hum!" The swirling sword swept across the space between the two, cutting off half of the load wheel, and the entire transport ship stopped immediately, and the master in charge of protecting it also quickly left the environment that was almost courting death.
"Absolutionist and swordsman?" Skadi looked at these enemies with their heads tilted. It was a little tricky, but it was only a little tricky. After all, Skadi's weapons are not in a state of disrepair, but After being strengthened by Lao Xia, it was adjusted again by Agor technician.
Absolution, Kazdel's medical organization, is trying to heal the wounds of this land. Tracy's supporters, on the surface, are medical organizations that treat Sarkaz and the infected, but in fact they are fighting the demons. Even more distantly related to the history of Sarkaz, the so-called absolution is the release of Sarkaz's original sin.
And Sarkaz's original sin is the ability of the devil. Therefore, it can be considered that the purpose of the absolution master is to destroy the power of the devil and the remnants of this evil blood. family" sins.
Therefore, most of the sinners are on the side of Tracys, not because they believe in Tracys, but because Tracys is not the devil, and Teresia inherited the devil. A man of strength, nothing more.
"Forget it, I don't think I really understand these things~" Skadi thought for a while and decided that it's better not to get involved in these historical issues, no matter why the absolutist appeared here.
"Are you ready to die?" The cold red pupils stared at everyone, even if they didn't have any weapons in their hands, it made the knife master and forgiver on the opposite side feel great pressure.
"Do it!" The slender legs slammed into the strongest member of the Absolution Master like a hammer, and a broad sword that came across blocked the blow, but it also made the silver-haired woman jump high, like a leaping wave. twisted his body in mid-air like a fish, "Bang!"
The smoke and dust rose, a red figure flashed past, and at some point, the melted sword returned to her hand again, and the guard who just took out the shield was sent flying, leaving a fatal scar on his body .
"Yo, it's on, don't try to run~" Another deep-sea hunter squatted on the vehicle, the spear in his hand had penetrated the origin stone generator, and the transport vehicle lost power immediately.
"Agor people? We don't intend to be your enemy, can we get out of the way?" The pardoner looked at the two men vigilantly. Their strength was a bit too exaggerated, especially the woman in the red dress, who was well-dressed. Like a wandering singer, he has the fighting power comparable to the top fighters.
And what answered him was a gunshot. Even if he dodged in time, the tower heat pipe heat bomb still took half of his shoulder away. "It's not easy to use..." Skadi put the large-caliber hand cannon back on his thigh In the gun pouch on his back, he lifted the big sword again.
