July 1st.
The undercurrent that had been brewing for many days finally broke out in Dongdao.
A violent storm swept across the entire East Island.
On the morning of July 1st, Huating.
Zhongzhou Prime Minister Chen Fangqing officially convened a nine-nation summit, exerting tremendous pressure on the East Island and demanding that the East Island currency appreciate.
The heads of Central Continent, Star Kingdom, Canada, Germania, United Kingdom of Britain, Gaul, Snow Kingdom, Italy, and Mountain Kingdom all rushed to Huating to attend the meeting.
Almost at the same time, a large number of international financial speculators brought unimaginable huge amounts of funds into the foreign exchange and futures markets of the East Island. In conjunction with the political means of the Nine-Nation Summit, they jointly promoted the appreciation of the currency of the East Island.
A large group of surnames representing prominence and nobility appeared in the sudden currency war, shining with unparalleled dazzling light.
Rothschild.
morgan.
Westminster.
Habs.
Beihai Wang family.
Shengshi Fund.
In just one day, Dongdao's financial order fell into disarray due to the massive financial impact. Dongdao, which was almost stunned, finally realized that the crazy appreciation of Dongdao's currency was a huge blow to the economy that had not yet emerged from the crisis. The recession-shadowed Dongdao economy was a completely devastating blow, so there was no need to convene at all. All Dongdao consortiums and major banks spontaneously united together to resist desperately and protect the currency of Dongdao. The entire foreign exchange market suddenly fell into smoke. The two sides were entangled, and the killing was inextricable.
This can be said to be the first obviously premeditated currency war in recent years. There are traces of man-made changes everywhere. Due to timing issues, many arrangements are not clever, but every huge flow of funds carries an irresistible feeling. General trend.
Dongdao was resisting desperately, with a completely unyielding attitude.
However, more and more international funds are flowing into the East Island foreign exchange market. The stalemate with extremely obvious advantages and disadvantages lasted for less than a week, and the so-called balance was instantly broken.
East Island's currency has risen sharply, even wildly.
After nearly a week of sleepless gaming, every fluctuation represented a large investment of money or the beginning of a collapse curve that was rising all the way.
For every financial giant involved in this currency war, this is a naked feast.
But for Dongdao, it was the end.
The wealth accumulated by the East Island over the past decades, which held a large amount of foreign exchange from Central Continent and the Star Kingdom, was completely plundered, and the economy of the entire East Island almost completely collapsed.
Prices in the East Island have risen at an eye-popping rate, a large number of export businesses have been put on hold, and the bloodbath in the currency war has spread into a large shadow, covering all classes in the East Island.
Complaints abounded, and public resentment boiled over.
In just one week, Dongdao's currency appreciated 1.25 times. For Dongdao, this was an unstoppable disaster. Although the fiercest war has passed, a large number of funds are still pouring into Dongdao. Even the most prestigious economic experts in East Island expressed an almost desperate attitude that the appreciation of East Island's currency has not yet come to an end. They expect that East Island's currency will ease when its appreciation doubles, and the final peak will be reached. It should reach about 2.5 times.
The appreciation of East Island's currency by 2.5 times means that tens of trillions or more of wealth will be plundered and flowed into all parts of the world. As a result, East Island's economy will suffer a substantial setback for at least twenty years!
Under the disaster, chaos broke out in an unstoppable manner.
In just half a month, countless company groups in East Island declared bankruptcy, people lost their jobs every day, official offices were overcrowded, and the crime rate skyrocketed. While major financial groups contributed money and effort, they also continued to put pressure on the government. , a large number of officials fell down due to various reasons, and many civilians lost their money overnight...
Chaos is like a storm, spreading to all levels, getting more and more intense and beyond control. Dongdao, which was calm just a few months ago, suddenly has signs of being completely out of control.
Everyone is exhausted.
As the leader of the East Island special warfare system, Miyamoto Shinichi feels particularly great pressure.
The chaos of the special warfare system, the collapse of the monetary order, everything is intertwined, and the future of Dongdao is dark. As the only invincible master in Dongdao, Miyamoto Shinichi spends almost every second Facing considerable pressure.
Major financial groups, cabinet, royal family, media...
It is even said that many officials are ready to hold the kamikaze troops accountable and require the kamikaze troops to provide a reasonable explanation for their cowardice and incompetence.
Everyone knows that the cause of all this is the struggle in the dark world. Whether the special warfare system of the East Island can be controlled this time is especially important for Zhongzhou. As for the nine-nation summit held in Huating, the heads of other countries They may not necessarily follow Zhongzhou's lead, but this operation is extremely ambitious and profitable, so they don't mind giving a push, but it is limited to the economic field. The fighting in the dark world is simply unavoidable. Multiple forces join forces with each other, and Targeting each other, gathered on Long Island at this time, the dark world and the economy were completely connected, eventually forming an extremely complex situation.
It is a deadlock and a dilemma.
How to break the situation has become the first problem Miyamoto Shinichi faces now.
Furong Peak is covered with snow.
The flying snow blew wildly at the headquarters of the Kamikaze Troops. Up and down the mountain, several tornado-like snow pillars rose up, majestic and majestic.
Miyamoto Shinichi stood on the highest snow peak at the Kamikaze Force headquarters, motionless, like a statue.
The wind and snow in the sky surrounded his body with a cold and dead breath. The only invincible master in the East Island now had his mental energy completely concentrated, and he tried his best to perceive everything around him.
In the perception, the vague danger between heaven and earth still exists, and it is getting stronger and more obscure.
There was no way to detect the other party's traces, only a faint but extremely sharp killing intent came out from all directions through the wind and snow, as sharp as a knife.
Miyamoto Shinichi's brows frowned subconsciously.
The white snow covering his body fell one by one, and he took a deep breath, with a hint of cold gloom and anger in his deep pupils.
In half a month, he has received countless calls.
Some come from the Prime Minister's Office, some come from the royal family, and some come from major financial groups.
During the phone call, the tone of the other party was different, either gentle, tough, or respectful, but the meaning was exactly the same, that is, they hoped that he could go down the mountain to Long Island as soon as possible.
The current currency war is the follow-up to the conflict in the dark world. All the major dark forces entered Changdao at the same time. To a certain extent, this is a declaration of force, and the currency war is a means for the major dark forces to force Changdao to compromise.
In decades, this is a crisis that Dongdao has never encountered. The intensity of this game is far beyond the expectations of all Dongdao people. Miyamoto Shinichi simply cannot imagine what will happen if Dongdao fails in this game. With such consequences, under the current situation, the failure of the currency war seems to have become a matter of time. At least the possibility of victory has become infinitely small. As a result, how to win the Battle of Long Island has become the key The essential.
Miyamoto Shinichi desperately wanted to go down the mountain.
But the vague danger around him always stimulated his nerves. The opponent's hiding ability was simply incredible. He clearly knew that there was an enemy nearby that was powerful enough to threaten his life, but no matter how hard he tried, He couldn't even lock the opponent's position.
The other party blocked him directly on Furong Peak.
Miyamoto Shinichi is not afraid of death, but he knows that he cannot die. Once he dies, or even is seriously injured, the situation that can be maintained at the moment may completely collapse, and everything will be irreversible.
The wind and snow are getting worse.
The air seemed cooler, too.
With a heart full of depression and heaviness, Miyamoto Shinichi raised his steps and was about to walk down the hillside when a black streak suddenly came into view from the corner of his eye.
Miyamoto turned his head unconsciously.
Looking down the mountain through the howling wind and snow, as far as the eye could see, a black car was slowly going up the mountain along the mountain road, approaching the headquarters of the Kamikaze Troops.
It was a black car that was extremely rare to see on the market. It had a slender body, yet it exuded an indescribable spaciousness and heaviness. It drove quietly on the mountain road, all the way up, looking elegant and steady.
The corners of Miyamoto Shinichi's mouth moved, as if he wanted to smile, but his eyes were a little bitter.
That is...
A vehicle exclusive to the royal family.
He quickened his pace and quickly descended the mountain.
The black car goes up.
Miyamoto looked down.
Both sides arrived at the gate of the Kamikaze Force headquarters almost at the same time.
In the wind and snow, Miyamoto Shinichi turned sideways with a calm expression and made a welcoming gesture.
But the car that was about to enter the door stopped beside him.
The car door opened, and a man who looked to be in his thirties got out of the car. He looked at Shinichi Miyamoto in front of him and said with a soft smile: "Your Highness, long time no see."
The man is slightly shorter, about 1.7 meters tall, but his smile is very friendly. His appearance is not handsome, but his outline is very soft. Standing in the wind and snow, his smile is warm and gentle, and his whole body All with a sense of closeness that is as refreshing as spring breeze.
Miyamoto Shinichi was alert in his heart, but remained calm on the outside. He bowed slightly and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, please come in."
Prince Rende of Higashishima.
The only heir to the Higashishima royal family, the future Higashishima Emperor!
Miyamoto Shinichi still maintained a calm and indifferent expression, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
With all strata of the East Island nearly collapsing, Miyamoto Shinichi had expected that the royal family would put pressure on him, but the person who came was Crown Prince Rentoku, which was somewhat beyond his expectation. This also fully demonstrated the royal family's attitude towards him. How dissatisfied he is with his current performance.
"No need."
Prince Rende's smile remained unchanged. In the wind and snow, his face seemed to be wearing a mask that was gradually fading. His smile gradually faded, and his eyes gradually became colder: "My time is limited. Today, my father wants me. Come here and ask, what is His Highness Miyamoto’s opinion on the current situation in East Island?”
Miyamoto Shinichi frowned. He didn't want to speak, but he had to speak: "Your Highness, the situation is chaotic now. I need some time..."
"Can."
Prince Rentoku didn't wait for Miyamoto Shinichi to finish, then he smiled and said: "Of course there is time. Tōdao can give you time, but who can give Tōdao time? How many forces are gathering on Nagashima now, Your Highness Miyamoto, you It must be clear, right?”
Miyamoto looked cold and said nothing, as if he didn't hear Prince Rende's ridicule at all.
"Fantasy World, Reincarnation, Dark Knights, Temple, North Sea Wang Family, South American Chiang Family, Polar Alliance, Heroes Association..."
Prince Rende's tone became more and more sharp: "Almost all the major forces in the dark world have gathered on Changdao, and some currently unidentified masters are also in action. These people are either free mercenaries, or they are capable to a certain extent. A master who represents the will of a certain country. Your Highness Miyamoto, in this situation, do you still need time? Is one year enough? Ten years? Is a lifetime enough?!"
Miyamoto Shinichi glanced at Prince Nintoku coldly, and said in a gloomy tone: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your tone. This is not the attitude that the Crown Prince should have towards a strong man in the invincible realm. You know the news, and I do the same. You know, there are currently eight major forces that have appeared on Long Island and have expressed their stance, but I don’t think they will be united. In fact... "
"In fact, the Temple is currently on our side, and we can also fight for the Jiang family's position in South America. In fact, the Fantasy World has already fought with the Polar Alliance on Long Island. In fact, a team of nearly twenty people from the Heroes Association also All died in the attack of the Dark Knights."
Prince Rende sneered: "But so what? The major forces are enemies to each other, but their common enemy now is Dongdao. Do you really think that the temple will help us with all its strength? They are only interested in profit. That’s all. I’m certain that once the situation becomes irreversible, the Holy Temple will be the first to turn against us.”
"No matter how hostile the major forces are, what they value most now is the interests of the East Island."
"Your Highness Miyamoto, I can tell you some facts. There are already many people in contact with our three major consortiums. As for the Nishida Consortium, well, this currency war has given them the best opportunity. Currently, the Nishida Consortium has more than Fifty percent of the assets have been transferred overseas, of course, in the name of being acquired. Another small and medium-sized consortium has also begun to actively contact major forces. In the past half month, nearly Eight hundred thousand people have lost their jobs, and a total of nine countries have announced sanctions on our economy and trade. It has only been half a month, one month, half a year. How will the situation develop? By then, what will happen to Dongdao? Whose East Island is this?!”
Miyamoto Shinichi finally changed his color.
Some of the information Prince Rende told him was known to him, but some was unknown to him. At least he had no information about the consortium. This was something that should not have happened.
"Currently, many of our financial groups and families are still supporting them, but because of your incompetent performance, they have almost lost confidence in the Kamikaze Force. Your Highness Miyamoto, we might as well take a guess, when they lose confidence in Dongdao, What will you do?"
Miyamoto Shinichi's face became more and more ugly, but once Prince Nintoku's hypothesis became true, he would shudder just thinking about the consequences. He no longer wanted to care about Prince Nintoku's tone. The Kamikaze Force's intelligence came out The problem was that he never thought that in such a short period of time, the undercurrent of Dongdao would be endangered to this extent by the storm that swept across the entire territory.
"You know, His Highness Miyamoto, the royal family has always respected you very much. But your silence during this period has deeply disappointed the royal family. Many people in the royal family believe that when you and Liuhuo Palace were allowed to control the kamikaze troops, It was a wrong decision.”
Prince Rende said calmly.
Miyamoto Shinichi snorted with a cold expression, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Okay, Your Highness, you are not here to express disappointment with me today, right? What are the instructions from His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Father has no instructions."
Prince Rende shook his head and said coldly: "He just asked me to convey a message to you. This situation must end as soon as possible. If the Kamikaze troops are insufficient, the royal family will unite with the cabinet and consider a compromise."
Miyamoto Shinichi's expression changed drastically, he looked at Prince Rentoku, raised his voice and shouted: "Compromise?!"
"There's no way around it."
Prince Rende said coldly.
Miyamoto Shinichi was speechless for a moment. He naturally knew what compromise meant.
The major forces entered Changdao for the right to speak of the East Island special warfare system and the huge benefits of this dark power.
If the royal family compromises, it will be equivalent to giving up everything in the East Island special warfare system.
From then on, the entire East Island will become a dark world without a special warfare system, and become a battlefield where the major dark worlds fight against each other.
In this case, it can indeed intensify the conflicts between the major dark forces, but it is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. Once the special warfare system of the East Island disappears, it will be almost impossible to rebuild it under the eyes of the major dark forces. Even if it can be rebuilt, it will be countless years later. During this period, Dongdao, which has no special operations force, will have basically no combat capability unless a full-scale war breaks out.
and...
If there is a compromise, Miyamoto Shinichi himself will definitely become a bargaining chip for the compromise.
The strong ones in the invincible realm are indeed important, but in the face of the general trend, the invincible realm is like an ant.
"There must be no compromise!"
Miyamoto Shinichi gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone.
"The consequences of compromise are really serious."
Prince Rende calmly said: "But the consequences of not compromising are more serious. The special warfare system will be completely lost, the Dongdao economy will completely collapse, the major financial groups will betray Dongdao, and overseas funds will control the will of Dongdao and run rampant. Such consequences , at least for now, we can’t afford it, can we? It’s better to negotiate with them and compromise, so that at least we can still control something that belongs to us.”
Miyamoto Shinichi took a deep breath and said coldly: "Even if it's a compromise, who do you want to talk to? The Nine-Nation Summit... Could it be..."
Prince Rentoku glanced at Miyamoto Shinichi and wrote lightly: "Of course I will talk to Nakasu."
Miyamoto Shinichi remained silent, but he gradually understood the royal family's plan. Currently, a large number of elite masters on the East Island, as well as two invincible masters, are trapped in Zhongzhou. If the royal family compromises, those people will naturally become bargaining chips. .
After Dongdao's compromise, the special warfare system will be annexed by Zhongzhou, and the economy will also suffer heavy losses, but it can barely stabilize its position. The most important thing is that Dongdao gave up these, but it can bring back all the masters trapped in Zhongzhou. Island, Flowing Fire Palace may become a victim of compromise by then, but Hayate Sword Style and Wuji Palace still exist, and there is still a glimmer of hope to regain the East Island special warfare system in the future. This process may take decades. But for Dongdao now, it is good to have hope.
These decades are also conducive to Central Continent's continued expansion in the dark world and maintaining their status as world hegemon, and more importantly, Kunlun City.
If Zhongzhou occupies the special warfare system of Dongdao, the power of Kunlun City will definitely be the top priority, and there may not be anything that cannot be discussed between Dongdao and Gu Xingyun.
Before the invincible powerful Li Kuangzu in Central Continent committed treason, Gu Xingyun and Dongdao had negotiations. After that battle, didn't they lead to peace and stability for more than ten years
It was only at this moment that Miyamoto Shinichi suddenly realized that if Dongdao persisted, there would be an abyss ahead.
But if you retreat, there will be room everywhere on the retreat route.
Of course, it would be best if we can win, but if we cannot win, compromise becomes the best way in the worst situation.
The price, when it comes to individuals and individuals, is Miyamoto Shinichi's own life and the survival of Flowing Fire Palace.
Miyamoto Shinichi's heart continued to sink. The icy wind and snow on Furong Peak seemed to soak into his body, biting the bone, but his eyes gradually became determined.
"Seven days!"
After a brief silence, Miyamoto Shinichi finally spoke. His body gradually straightened up in the wind and snow. The extremely fierce killing intent spread instantly, and the wind and snow between heaven and earth suddenly began to condense towards his body.
Miyamoto Shinichi stood there, but his body seemed to be upright, with a kind of indifference looking down on the world.
"Tell His Majesty the Emperor that within seven days, I will solve everything on Nagashima."
He paused and continued: "Dongdao, never compromise!"
Under such momentum, Prince Rende, who was so aggressive just now, seemed to be a head shorter.
He took a deep look at Miyamoto Shinichi, nodded and said, "Seven days? I will tell my father. In addition, I will go to Nagashima with His Highness."
"His Royal Highness also wants to participate in the war?"
Miyamoto Shinichi's tone remained indifferent.
"certainly."
Prince Rende said calmly: "If we can fight, who is willing to compromise? This battle is related to the fate of the country of Dongdao, and it is also related to our life and death."
He bowed deeply to Miyamoto Shinichi and said in a respectful tone: "Your Highness Miyamoto, please take good care of me."
“Look out for each other.”
Prince Rende nodded, turned around, got in the car and left.
Shinichi Miyamoto still stood there, in the wind and snow, until the black car left his sight, he slowly turned around and said calmly: "Come out, I have decided."
In the wind and snow, his eyes were like two blazing fires, with a ruthlessness at all costs: "I will cooperate with you!"
