Earth Invasion

Chapter 208 The Nature of War

It is impossible for NATO to hide the trick of the other two forces by simply buying their lives with money and letting the Assyrians kill each other, or NATO has no intention of hiding them at all.Immediately, the top 13 members of the space circle condemned NATO. Of course, the words of the condemnation were vague, but left an impression on people, that is, "I condemned", and I stood on the moral high ground .

These are some useless things, and in the back, the space circle passes D in the shortest time. S. A's special liaison officer in Selaronte, Seul Stink, conveyed a message to the senior leaders of the Selaronte coalition forces and the Duke of Lavons himself.

As a friendly trading partner, the space circle is willing to provide certain assistance to Selaronte.They intend to provide a batch of arms to Serraronte in advance, and then provide a large low-interest loan to the Serraronte Autonomous Government.At the same time, it accepts the repayment of debts by the Serraronte Autonomous Government with minerals and agricultural products.

At the same time, the space circle also stated that it will open the restrictions on the sale of necessary military supplies to Selaronte.Not only automatic rifles, individual rockets, PAs and exoskeletons are also on sale.At the same time, many financial institutions in the space circle have conveyed their intention to provide loans to Selaronte to the Duke of Lavons through Seul Stink.

But the strange thing is that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization has not expressed anything about this.As if this thing does not exist.

However, this lack of expression is the greatest expression.Both NATO and the space circle understand one thing, what is the purpose of the Sirius Star Destroyer hovering over the North Pole.

They are almost certain that the Star Destroyer does not want to see the situation where the two sides directly use space weapons to cover the ground.

But the Duke of Layvons was puzzled by the matter.He doesn't quite understand the twists and turns of the people on Earth, but he can sense sensitively that the ultimate purpose of this order issued by the puppet king Philips IV is not 100% to recover Serraronte and restore the unity of the motherland.What Mr. Duke watches most often now are political books and news programs of people on earth.Because he understands that if he wants to know the meaning of some actions of people on earth, he must understand what the politics of people on earth are.

But in the actions of the earthlings this time, he couldn't figure out where the earthlings were focusing.Because he knew that the top executives of that NATO national organization should understand that after they issued this order, the SCO or the space circle of the same national organization would definitely attack.And this kind of result is likely to become a confrontation between the two sides in Kilcoyne, or a mess.

Then the question arises, how will the people on earth benefit from doing this?

Not only did he discover this problem, but Her Royal Highness Princess Ann Rivendell Sifah also discovered it.At the same time, she also discovered another problem.

Ada has been running around in the Selaronte coalition, but Ann has nothing to do.She doesn't have any official position now, and Zhang Mai is not in Bestobie at the same time.Therefore, in addition to making some handicrafts, she reads books every day, and reads various books obtained from people on earth.In order to fear that she would be lonely, Zhang Mai almost downloaded all kinds of books from a library for her.

In physics and chemistry books, Ann lost as quickly as her cousin.However, unlike Ada's desperate attitude, after realizing that she couldn't understand those strange formulas and code names at all.The little princess put her eyes elsewhere.She is still very interested in books about the history and culture of people on Earth.This is also the reason why she accompanied Yang Zhiyuan after the Sirius came to Assyria.

Therefore, the little princess keenly discovered a place that the Duke of Layvons hadn't discovered in the news that Shure Stink forwarded to her.

"Why, both NATO and the space circle mentioned loans in the agreement? I don't understand why NATO doesn't recruit soldiers in the form of rewards or rewards? And D.S.A passed the news from Mr. Schul It’s also a loan, and from the news, the space circle is going to give us assistance and an advance payment for ore, right?” Because she couldn’t figure it out, An took the opportunity to raise this question and asked Yang Zhiyuan for advice.

"The loan means the expectation of income, and the credit amount of the loan represents the money injection." Yang Zhiyuan said a series of Chinese without thinking.

"What?" An felt that her head was dizzy. After spending so long with Zhang Mai, An's Chinese was already fluent, but Yang Zhiyuan's words made her feel like falling into the clouds.She knew all these words, but when these words were connected together, she couldn't understand them at all.

"Sorry! I forgot your ability to accept." Yang Zhiyuan only realized at this time, what he said was too profound.

"Then, can you explain it to me, a junior, in more common words?" An tilted her head and looked into Yang Zhiyuan's eyes.The person in front of him is probably the highest-status earthling that the Assyrians in Selaronte can see, and he is also a very wise earthling.Therefore, Ann is very keen to get some knowledge from him.

However, Yang Zhiyuan showed a wry smile this time.

"Princess Rivendell, you have given me a problem. It is really difficult for me to explain to you who are still using metal currency what credit currency and currency leverage are. Because it is very complicated, so complicated Most people on Earth can’t figure it out.”

"Credit currency, currency leverage? I seem to understand metal currency, just like we are using gold coins made of gold. This gold coin is metal currency, that is, money, right?"

"Yes, this is metal currency. On this basis, I plan to ask you a question, Your Royal Highness. The crown gold coin of the Sifah dynasty is equivalent to 28 grams of mass for people on earth. If a person holds 28 grams of natural gold , can it also be used as a gold coin of the same weight?"

"Of course..." Having said this, An suddenly froze.She thought about it, and her face became a little strange.

"No... you need to pay a certain amount of seigniorage to use natural gold. Strange, why not?"

"Because the gold coins used in your country contain some of the characteristics of credit currency. The gold coins issued by the country are the full amount of gold coins. Even natural gold of the same weight is defeated in front of this kind of national credit. According to this If this situation continues, if there are no people on earth to interrupt your development, in the next step, you will reduce the gold content in gold coins and replace them with lead or other metals, and finally become a currency made of paper to completely Instead of gold. And this kind of paper is credit currency." As he spoke, Yang Zhiyuan pulled out a piece of currency from his arms, of course it was no longer paper, but a composite material.

"In other words, credit currency is a person or organization that holds a piece of paper in their hands and tells ordinary people that this is money, and people use this piece of paper as money, right?" Ann understood. Soon, although not accurate, it is basically close to the essence of credit currency.

"But what does that have to do with loans?"

Yang Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead with some headaches, this kind of thing can't be explained clearly in a few words.He turned his head and kept thinking about how to use the simplest method to make the little Assyrian girl in front of him understand.

"Let's put it this way, Princess Rivendell, what do you think wealth is?"

"Wealth?" Ann lowered her head and repeated the word twice in her mouth.According to her nature, if other people ask her this question, she is likely to answer art, family affection, virtue or something.But when Yang Zhiyuan asked her, she had to think about it carefully. The other party asked her this question 100% to inspire her, not to listen to her own feelings.

"Food? Minerals? Land? Money?" An tentatively said several words, and then said with some certainty, "Money is wealth?"

Yang Zhiyuan laughed: "The first three you mentioned are wealth, but the last one is not."

Ann was stunned: "Isn't gold wealth?"

"If you are talking about gold, then it is wealth. But according to the people of SCO Greater China, the reason why gold is wealth is that it can be used to make parts of many kinds of mechanical and electrical products. Ornamental jewelry or something, not just because it's gold. If it's just gold and it can't be turned into something useful, then it's not wealth."

An Jue began to feel dizzy again.

But Yang Zhiyuan continued talking on his own, as if he didn't see it.

"This is the view of wealth in the hearts of ordinary people in the SCO Greater China region. What is useful is wealth, and what is useless is not wealth."

"Useful? Useless?" Ann chewed on this sentence.

"Yes, for example, if you are about to starve to death, which one is wealth, a piece of bread or an ingot of gold?"

"Uh, you are sophistry, Mayor Yang."

"I'm just giving an extreme example. However, you should understand what we mean by wealth."

"I generally understand, but in your eyes, money is just a voucher to exchange for things that are useful to you, right?"

“That’s right. Of course, wealth is defined differently in the eyes of our leaders and professional wealth managers.”

"Appreciate further details."

"We believe that there is nothing useless in the world. What seems useless now is that our technology has not yet reached the level of using it. Or we have not found the object and method to apply it! So, fundamentally, We believe that existence is wealth!"

"Existence is wealth..." Ann repeated, to be honest she didn't understand at all.

"Maybe you don't understand, but you just need to understand one thing, that is, the SCO does not regard money as wealth. This is fundamentally different from NATO and the space circle."

"Essentially?" An couldn't help but widen her eyes, she had a premonition that Yang Zhiyuan was going to reveal some essential things to her.

"Whether it's NATO or the space circle, their rulers are trying their best to make their citizens accept one thing - currency is wealth."

"Almost 60 years ago, in our SCO Greater China region, currency has gradually withdrawn from our daily life. Now, most of us actually rarely use money. Because, we What is implemented is the great abundance of supply and the distribution of personal daily necessities according to needs. Many times, our labor is only a kind of qualification for our own needs for labor itself and participation in distribution according to needs, rather than to make money .”

"Whether it is NATO, the space circle, or the member republics outside the SCO Greater China, money is still a necessity. This is not only a necessity for exchange, but also a need to use the amount of money to reflect the growth of wealth."

"However, currency must have a reason to be released, just like in a commodity economy society, commodities can only reflect their value and price when they are in circulation. Whether it is NATO or the space circle, they must issue currency to allow the economy to operate normally, and To issue currency, it is necessary to create an environment that can consume materials and allow goods to circulate. At the same time, it must also create a reason to issue currency—issuing bonds.”

"Issuing bonds, printing money, putting it into production, buying goods, and consuming consumption. This is the economic cycle structure of NATO and the space circle. How much bonds NATO and the space circle put in Assyria, they can issue more money through financial leverage, Only then can people be paid for their work. And the goods they produce, that is, arms, can also be consumed on the Assyrian planet! This is their economic logic when the supply of energy and raw materials tends to be infinite. "

Difficult to understand, very difficult to understand.However, An still made a guess based on his own associations and understanding of Yang Zhiyuan's words.

"So, it doesn't matter whether it is NATO or the space circle. It doesn't matter whether it wins or not? The important thing is that there is a reason to issue loans and place orders to the earth's arms companies, and then let these produced things have a place. Get consumed. That's how their economy turns like a machine, doesn't it?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"Then, what about us Assyrians?" Ann bit her lip and said.

"Probably, it's the lubricant of this economic machine..." Yang Zhiyuan said, "But you don't have to be too depressed. Although this situation is accompanied by destruction and death, it also means new life and opportunities."
