Steel Dynasty - Chapter 941

[Chapter 936 The eternal plan]

“Your Majesty is really a learned man. As your Majesty said, our country is on the east coast of the Baltic Sea.”

Schroeder glanced cautiously at the emperor of Chongqing who was wearing a dragon robe. This time he brought Come with a heavy responsibility and don’t want to make any mistakes.

Xiao Ming, who was sitting in the pavilion, nodded slightly. The secret guard got limited information about Europe from the merchants. After all, in this era, information was not available. Even people from his own country sometimes could not understand some truths, and the information revealed to the Dutch He also remained skeptical, never 100% trusting these former colonists.

“The envoy’s country is really far away from the Great Chongqing. Instead of talking, the envoy might as well mark the situation in Europe on this map.”

Xiao Ming gestured to Qian Dafu, who placed a world map on Shiro In front of virtue.

Looking at the two-meter detailed world map spread out in front of him, Schroeder was stunned for a moment. There was also a world map in the Prussian palace.

But compared to the sophistication of this map, their map seemed very old.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Schroeder did not refuse. In fact, he had never paid attention to the Great Chongqing before he came. In his opinion, the Great Chongqing would naturally not understand Prussia.

If it were further back, he wouldn’t even be able to reach Dayu. It was only because the Europeans now extended their tentacles here that they were able to find it successfully.

Picking up the pen, Schroeder carefully marked the approximate scope of Prussia on the map, and after a while he presented the map to Xiao Ming.

After taking the map, Xiao Ming glanced at it and made a calculation in his mind. The Dutch did not lie to him about what happened in Prussia.

Generally speaking, the current European land hegemon is France, and the maritime hegemon is Britain. In addition, there are Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, Finland, Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire as well as those that have not yet been unified. Italy.

Prussia during this period was still a very small country, with no contemporary German territory, because the entire Germanic nation was still in a state of division.

Only when all these Germanic states scattered in Central Europe were unified could they become the German Empire in later generations.

“It turns out that Prussia’s land is only this big, but I heard that such a large area is a German state, right?” Xiao Ming asked.

Schroeder’s expression changed. This question touched his heart. In fact, the unification of the German Federation was the dream of every Prussian.

It’s just that the French are in their own interests and cannot allow them to unify these German states. Because of this, their relationship with France has always been extremely bad.

“Your Majesty is right, this has always been a regret in the hearts of us Prussians.” Schroeder felt ashamed, and he continued: “So this time the king sent me to Dayu Country because he wanted to establish good relations with Dayu Country. Gain the power to unify the German Federation. “

Xiao Ming smiled, “The actions of the British and the French make it impossible for us to trust you Europeans. Do we believe you with just a few words?”

“Your Majesty, we understand diplomacy? On the right side, there is no interest, and the two countries will not cooperate. The British and the French are your Majesty’s enemies, but they are the enemies of Prussia. The enemies of your enemies are friends. With us Prussians in Europe to contain the French, the British and even They are Russians. I think your country will save a lot of effort when seizing colonies.” Schroeder’s words hit the nail on the head.

Prussia’s colonies were negligible, so in his opinion, they had no essential conflict with the Great Yu Kingdom, while the British and French had huge colonies around the Great Yu Kingdom.

Xiao Ming laughed and said: “It seems that you are a smart man. In this case, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Like the Dutch, the Great Chongqing can also establish trade relations with you. The British and the French are Europe’s cancer, with them, Europe will not be peaceful, and neither will the world. However, there is a condition for establishing trade, which is to use the currency of the Great Chongqing for settlement. “

He was determined to help when he learned that the Prussians were coming .

Prussia’s idea, because Prussia and France were natural enemies.

As long as Prussia becomes stronger, Europe’s muddy waters can be stirred up. If Europe falls into civil strife, it can first sell a large amount of arms, and secondly, it can seize colonies and resources in the world while Europe is busy with civil strife.

“Currency settlement in Chongqing?” Schroeder’s eyes flickered. In the past, Europe needed silver to buy things from Chongqing, so Europe mined a large number of silver mines in the Americas in order to buy various commodities from Chongqing. This Speaking of which, it means settling in the currency of Chongqing.

But now that the Emperor of Dayu said this, it was obvious that he could no longer trade in the rough way before, but could use the real currency of Dayu to buy things.

But they didn’t have any currency of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, so they hesitated and said, “It’s just that we don’t have the currency of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. How should this be settled?”

“This is not my concern. Maybe you can bring gold or silver.” Go to Dayu Country to exchange Dragon Coins from Dayu Country.” Xiao Ming had a smile on his face.

Now whether it is Goryeo or Japan, he has extended his financial tentacles. Now Goryeo and Japan must use dragon coins to settle if they want to purchase goods from Dayu.

He also had this requirement in the deal with the Netherlands, and now it was Prussia’s turn to send it.

The reason why he did this was a simple and evil purpose, which was to make the Dragon Coin of the Great Yu Kingdom an international currency.

The international currency is of great significance, which will mean that the currency of Great Chongqing has become a hard currency similar to gold and silver in the world.

Once he achieves this goal, the Chongqing Kingdom will be like the contemporary American emperor, which can make the whole world nervous by raising interest rates.

After all, the contemporary US dollar is the world currency. For the US imperialism, the currency can serve its economy. Not only can it become the largest debtor country, it can also issue bonds to serve the economy. In previous economic crises, the US has to pay for the bonds issued by other countries.

Therefore, the contemporary American imperialists will fight for their lives to maintain the U.S. dollar system, because this plays a very important role in maintaining economic hegemony for the United States. Simply put, this can alleviate the economic decline trend of the American imperialists, and the whole world will suffer from the economic crisis of the American imperialists. Pay the bill!

In short, it is of no harm to the country that its national currency is an international currency.

Since it is so important to make the currency of Great Chongqing an international currency, he naturally has to start planning now, otherwise once Westerners continue to develop financially, they will realize this problem.

At that time, they will probably dismantle the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
