The old man unconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it. Dulin's words were not exaggerated, they were true. This is also the unanimous decision of the joint parliament and the federal government, including the capitalists, consortiums and even citizens in the federation. , something they all desperately hope to be able to do. When something is promoted by the whole people, the top of the tower can only design the direction and route, but cannot completely control the situation, because they cannot control the spontaneous motivation of everyone.
The Eighteen-Nation Conference a few years ago, although the content of the meeting was to discuss the issue of whether sea areas are part of national territory, it also revealed from the side that a country cannot play any role in the context of the entire international position, even if the empire and the Federation opposed it, and sixteen other countries voted to approve it.
No matter how powerful the Empire and the Federation were in the past, even if one could defeat ten, so what? Others don't let you play and isolate you. In the end, don't you have to lower your head and bend down to actively integrate? Moreover, the Federation has never implemented isolationism, and the general direction of the country has always been to actively integrate with foreign countries.
After discovering this, the federal policy direction and future route began to work towards occupying a more important position in the world. If you want to become a first-class superpower, you must have something that can be used to convince others. thing.
In the Federation, what is something that others don’t have or are not as good as
The answer is simple, finance, economics.
Or to put it more bluntly, it means having money.
The Federation is the earliest open free trade market in the world and is also the country with the most mature financial system. This is related to the past history of the Federation. Their systems and rules are far more effective and advanced than those of other countries, and their strong capital power is enough to allow federal merchants to conduct foreign trade all over the world. With such a very advantageous prerequisite, and as the international wars gradually began to subside, and various countries began to develop their economies and strengthen their national strength, the federal government and the Speakers suddenly discovered that they were playing with us and playing with the rest. of.
So can we be the leading big brother for these underdeveloped countries in the world, tell them how to avoid possible mistakes in development, find the most suitable direction of development, and then let them become our little brothers and make the federation the real meaning? "International Big Brother"
This idea firmly occupied everyone's attention as soon as it was proposed. A large number of opinions from consortia and big capitalists gathered together. The federal government thought it could give it a try. At the same time, they also noticed the problem of currency settlement in the process of foreign trade. The influence it brings. If one day all countries around the world use the Federal Shield for settlement, and even use the Federal Shield in daily life, then it won’t be a problem for these countries to be tributaries of the Federation, right? ! When the time comes when they use Federation currency, read Federation books, and even feel that they are Federation people in their hearts...
Thinking about it is enough to make people extremely excited. Although this idealized plan eventually evolved into a more realistic plan with a more realistic and ironic meaning, leaving the whole world under the shadow of the federal financial order, it is undeniable that Whether it is idealism or realism, it can only benefit the Federation and not harm it.
Next, relying on the protests and voices of the "civilian" large financial groups, the Federation began to actively implement this plan. First, they needed to resolve the conflict between themselves and the Empire. Restoring tariffs was only the first step. Then, they cooperated in all aspects, including funding. Economic assistance is all intended to prevent the empire from holding them back in the process of the federation dominating the global financial system.
Then after rounds of momentum building, the Federation's capitalists became active around the world, making all countries in the world understand the terrifying and powerful economic foundation of the Federation, and they began to yearn for it.
In this process, there were indeed some things that went too smoothly and expanded a little too quickly. However, with the joint efforts of the federal government, the United Parliament, enthusiastic people from all walks of life, big capitalists, and large consortiums, no one thought that this would become a trouble. As long as the federation's status in the international financial field is getting higher and higher, and the federation is becoming more and more important to the economic construction of various countries, all problems will not be a problem in the end, because someone will pay for the early mistakes.
But now, when a young man told him, telling the makers and participants of this huge plan that things would not be as simple as he imagined, the old man fell into deep thought.
After a while, the cigarette in the old man's hand had burned out. He squeezed his eyes and looked at the cigarette butt in his hand, then inserted it into the ashtray, and then looked at Du Lin, "This is also the real purpose of your coming to the Federation. ,Yeah?"
Dulin didn't lie, he admitted it directly, just like he wouldn't lie when chatting with Mags, because he knew he was lying and Mags could feel it. The same is true when facing this old man. They have been at the top of this world for too long and have encountered everything. Whether they lie or not, even if they are not sure, they will still have doubts. This is not as good as saying it openly, but it is more likely to win the trust of these people.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Dulin bowed slightly, "I am a businessman, and my purpose is to pursue higher returns. When I discovered that there were major hidden dangers in the Federation, I knew that the opportunity was coming! This is not only I am alone, and there are opportunities that many people are waiting for. Even if I are not there today, there will be another Luo Lin, or Ley Lin, and they will definitely do the same thing.”
"Our biggest advantage now is that I am willing to tell the truth, and at the same time, I will detonate this bomb myself!"
The old man thought that a large amount of international hot money had recently begun to enter the federation. At first, the federal government said that this was a good thing. Even everyone in the joint parliament thought that this was a good thing. A large amount of capital is pouring into the federation. As long as this money is invested in the federation, it will help the federation develop its economy and prosper its finances. They are not afraid of these international hot money making a fortune and leaving. Under the current general trend, there is no investment method that can provide a higher return than investing in the federal government. Once the federation can influence more countries, the federation's financial and economic level will grow exponentially, giving more profit margins.
But now it seems that this is not a good phenomenon.
The old man wanted to know more. He asked, "Mr. Dulin, can you tell me how you detonated this bomb? Or is there any way we can prevent this bomb from exploding?"
Du Lin laughed loudly and rubbed his belly. "The scenery here is very beautiful, and the lake is also beautiful. Will the fish in the lake be more delicious than outside?"
The old man was stunned again and glanced at his watch, "Well, it seems I can't skip a dinner..." He stood up, "Let's go, fill our stomachs first, we will have plenty of time after the meal! "
