    "Let China open its market to Germany sounds very attractive, but your old friend may not be so easy to talk to, right?" The Prime Minister of the German Empire shook his head, with a look of doubt on his face.  \¡¡\?He knows that the Chinese are building an unprecedentedly large free trade area - the Greater China Free Trade and Customs Union Area.  Obviously, this is to combine the world's largest market, the world's largest industrial productivity, and the world's richest resources into a relatively closed economic circle.  "There is no problem. The Chinese will open their markets and share the resources they have with us. But the future international trade pattern and settlement methods will undergo huge changes. They will no longer rely on gold and silver for settlement. Participants will no longer rely on gold and silver for settlement.  Countries that trade will no longer pursue surpluses," Engels replied with a smile.  "Not pursuing a surplus? Mr. Engels, should we pursue a deficit?" Bismarck frowned, "How can such international trade be carried out without relying on gold and silver for settlement?" "Well, for the future of international trade  "I have a brand new idea." Engels smiled, "This idea is based on the future world economic and trade structure, and it is completely feasible." "Let me talk about it first."  International economic and trade structure Due to the emergence of two super world empires, Greater China and Rome, future international trade will be a coexistence of regional freedom and overall unfreedom. Within the world empire, there will be relatively free trade, while outside the empire, there will be relatively free trade.  It will be an era of international trade control, because the two empires of Greater China and Rome can establish a self-sufficient internal trade system. "This is what I am worried about!" Bismarck nodded.  "The German Empire has too few colonies. If the Great Chinese Empire and the Roman Empire closed their markets, Germany's economy would encounter huge difficulties!" "Well" Engels nodded lightly.  "But this is bound to happen. So we must distribute wealth in a more equitable way to cultivate the internal market! Of course, foreign trade is still needed, but we cannot expect a large amount of gold and silver to flow in from Rome and China.  Because that will inevitably lead to the two world empires adopting trade protection measures, and trade disputes can easily become the source of another world war. In addition, our domestic economy does not need gold and silver, what we need is Rome!  and China¡¯s resource products. We need to exchange industrial products for their agricultural products and mineral products Export as many industrial products as we need for agricultural products and mineral products, so that our trade with Rome and China will always be in a basically balanced state.¡±  Trade balance is by no means the goal pursued by the world's first industrialized countries in this era, due to the extremely unfair internal distribution.  Domestic demand in various industrialized countries is insufficient to consume the growing supply of industrial goods.  Therefore, around the beginning of the second industrial revolution, economic excess has become an economic problem in industrialized countries - it was against this background that the planned economy was born.  "How should a basically balanced trade be maintained?" Bismarck asked with a frown.  "Basically balanced international trade can be established by signing a 'barter trade' agreement and establishing an international settlement system for 'barter trade' International trade should not be free and unregulated, it must be planned and controlled.  "Barter tradehow to carry out planned and controlled international trade?" Bismarck asked, "Will international trade not use currency in the future?" "Of course it is impossible to do without currency.  This is impossible." Engels laughed: "Barter trade refers to the principle of macro-level trade between two economies, which is barter on a macro level, but in terms of specific operations, it should be established.  A brand-new international trade clearing bank system. All international trade settlements must be handled by this clearing bank system. In principle, the currency of other countries in exchange for exports of goods from one country must be deposited in this banking system to be used to purchase other countries.  The exporter can obtain the corresponding domestic currency from the Bank for International Settlements established in his country. For the exporter, the trade has been completed, and for the two countries, it needs to be deposited in the clearing bank of the other country.  The trade cycle is completed only when the currencies of other countries are exchanged for commodities, and the currencies stored in other countries cannot be exchanged for precious metals and shipped back to the country unless the two parties agree otherwise. In principle, two countries or two customs unions.  The trade between the two countries should be basically balanced, with neither surplus nor deficit. In principle, the trade volume between the two countries or two customs unions should also be determined through diplomatic negotiations. In this way, international trade will no longer exist.  It is free but controlled and planned.¡±  "Mr. Engels, do you think such international trade rules are beneficial to Germany?" Bismarck's face was clouded. "Do you think the German Empire has no power to pursue a more fair and free international trade rules?" "  Want another world war?" Engels smiled sarcastically, "The British people hate war so much now that they cannot follow Germany. There are many people in the United States who want revenge, but their population has declined in the past two years.  The losses in the war were too great It will take at least 20 years to produce a lively American youth. Before that, don't count on the United States. As for Russia, you don't believe that Russia is willing to fight for the interests of Germany, do you?" Bismarck smiled bitterly?  Sighing, "You are right. Although the German Empire was powerful, it was very isolated and had no ability to challenge the world order after the war. It may be possible to defeat Rome, but if you want to take away the most valuable asset of the Roman Empire - America  It is impossible to incorporate the territory into the German Empire, and the Chinese will take the opportunity to gain control there! "So we cannot expect fair and free trade, but can only seek a barter trade system that does not generate surpluses or deficits. Such wealth.  If international trade flows rapidly from Rome and China to Germany, Zhu Jishi and Napoleon IV will be able to tolerate Germany's continued development and strength. " Bismarck smiled bitterly and said noncommittally, "Mr. Engels, do you think it is possible for China to become more powerful in the future?  Will there be a war in Rome? " "No, at least there will be no war in our lifetime." Engels said, "Because there is no source of power, both Rome and Greater China have enough land, resources and markets, and there is no need to fight for it.  A world war will break out again. Moreover, the internal problems of these two world empires are very complicated. Annexation and development are the main tasks in the next few decades. Therefore, we cannot hope to fight a doomed war with Rome and China.  A world war that will destroy both of them. The future of Germany and England can only be found in Europe, on our own land! " "Well, I will consider your opinions both on trade and on the succession of the English throne." Bismarck.  After thinking carefully for a while, "But before we make a decision, I would like to know the exact opinions of China. Including opinions on the throne of England, trade issues, and Russian issues." "Okay, you will get a definite answer.  ." Engels smiled slightly, knowing that he had convinced the number two figure in the German Empire.  ¡­ ¡°Pop, canopy¡­¡± When Maria Clementina walked into the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Jishi¡¯s residence in the Hot Spring Palace, with the secret message sent by Engels, what she heard was the sound of drum music full of Indian style.  Queen Bhai, who is about to ascend the throne of East Bengal, is performing a dance to the Ming Emperor.  Queen Bayi arrived in Yingtian a week ago and brought back Zhu Guowei in a monk's robe, but this is not a credit.  Half of the reason for Zhu Guowei's failure in India was that the Indian princes headed by Queen Bayi failed to launch an uprising as agreed.  Therefore, in addition to escorting Zhu Guowei back to China, Queen Bayi came to plead guilty to Zhu Jishi.  Of course, Zhu Jishi would not really punish her. After all, there was only one Indian prince that he could trust 100%.  Although Zhu Jishi has given up the idea of ??directly controlling India, it does not mean that he will not have a foothold in the South Asian subcontinent.  According to his vision, the northeastern Indian state of Bengal would be divided into two.  Eastern Bengal will separate from the Indian Empire and become the Kingdom of Bengal dependent on the Ming Empire, becoming a springboard for Greater China to move south to the Indian Ocean.  As for the ruler of Bengal, only Queen Bhai is capable of it.  So after the "punishment", Zhu Jishi immediately doted on the queen and planned to take her to Japan for vacation, while waiting for the British royal family who had lost their country and went into exile.  In the days before leaving, I became even more obsessed with the charming Indian dance. I spent several hours every day admiring the dances of Queen Bhai and the Indian beauties she brought.  Although Queen Bayi, who was born in 1835, is 42 years old this year, she still maintains a good figure because she has never given birth to children, is pampered, and has practiced martial arts since she was a child.  There is no trace of fat on the snow-white waist and abdomen. With the increasingly rapid drumbeats, the two soft flesh on the chest are trembling with the rhythm of the dance, as if they will fall out of the thin bra at any time.  Jump out.  The Ming Emperor was so mesmerized by the sight that he didn't even notice Maria Clementina approaching.  "Jason, a secret message from Mr. Engels." Maria leaned into Zhu Jishi's ear and whispered in a low voice.  "Oh, Engels's secret message, what's going on?" "Engels plans to make Prince William of Germany the King of England, and he also wants to work with us" "Prince William of Germany?" Zhu Jishi frowned, "Which one?"  "He is the eldest son of the German Crown Prince Friedrich and the British Princess Victoria, and the future heir to the German Empire." "What! William II became the King of England!?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, and the novel will be updated.  Good update faster!
