France, Paris. The weather in April is the season when the grass grows and the orioles fly. In this ancient and famous city, citizens are enjoying the warm sunshine. The cafes on the street corners, along the Seine River, and in front of the Louvre Museum are full of pleasant outings. The crowds and foreign tourists marveled at the prosperity of the metropolis and were also fascinated by the tranquility of the bells of Notre Dame. However, not every place can be peaceful. For example, in the conference room of the French Congress, at this moment, this weekend, everyone is resting, but they have to work overtime. "1990 is a day worth celebrating. In this year, East Germany and West Germany were finally reunited after World War II." A man stood on the main stage of the conference hall and said impassionedly: "But Germany What is the impact of reunification on our Europe? ¡± &¡Û¨K¡Û¨K¡Û¨K, v.¡ù¡û.¡Ìp; ¡°At the summit of the seven major European countries after reunification, President Helmut Kohl rejected us. , the topic of our summit is how to reach a consensus on the issues of inflation, high unemployment, and slow economic growth in the United Kingdom and Italy. East and West Germany have just been reunited, and there are so many problems in the country. There is no need for President Kohl to participate in this. meeting.¡± His voice echoed in the echoing hall. There were only eleven white people sitting in the empty conference hall. Their fluent English did not require an interpreter. Each of them was familiar from their country¡¯s TV. characters. Now, they were pondering, thoughtfully, and no one interrupted the man on the main stage. Surrounding them were dozens of French special police officers, completely surrounding the place. Because they know very well that although there are not many people here, they are representatives of the most powerful countries in Europe. Real government officials. If anything happens, even France won't be able to afford it. "There is no interference with radio waves. No signs of surveillance are found. Within a hundred meters in diameter, it is safe." In another room, more than a dozen National Security Bureau commissioners were carefully watching every move of specific symbols on the computer. Make sure that everyone here, every word, every person is in a state of absolute confidentiality. No one takes the status report lightly because it has been reported dozens of times, but carefully checks it again and again before sending it to the monitoring center. "Gentlemen." The man is somewhat bald, quite old, with white hair. He is between sixty and seventy years old, and is about 1.85 meters tall. He shook the thick information in his hand and said seriously: "I hope everyone will still remember that in the early 1990s, Europe began to implement the Borderless Movement. This is the achievement of our alliance and our pride. It originally included Germany, but in the same year At the Seven-Nation Summit, President Kohl rejected us on the grounds that it was a treaty signed by East Germany or West Germany. If that were the case, our alliance would continue" He spread the information on the table in front of him. On the screen, the projection instrument immediately projected onto the LED screen behind him. The man pointed at the screen behind him and said loudly: "Then what? The German National Bank raised the discount rate to 8.75%! Well, because Germany has just been unified, the mark and the US dollar are still there. The reason for the peg is that the government is afraid of causing inflation, which we all understand. However, this move led to the excessively high interest rate of the mark, which caused the British, Italian and global financial giants to start selling pounds and lira to buy the mark! ¡± Minister Theodore Weigel's expression remained normal. Even the British and Italian finance ministers, Sir Terence Burns and Darren Lowe, did not speak. Things have already happened, and there is no point in pursuing right and wrong. What we are concerned about now is How to deal with the aftermath? There are still a lot of marks left on the market, pounds, and lira still haven¡¯t raised their heads. More dollar pairs are needed to rush into the mark market to completely resolve this currency crisis! "What happened last year left us too many scars. Now, this terrible scar is healing. As the interim chairman, I don't want to see this scar continue to spread. What should we do in the future, how should we do it, I hope everyone has a clear plan." The man did not continue to talk about this topic. If there was any, during the meeting of the finance ministers of the twelve countries, it can be said that even if he did not say it, the British Finance Minister and the Italian Finance Minister would express it. own dissatisfaction. But it can be said that "naming and criticizing" once is enough. This is not the only time when the German Finance Minister walked away in anger. "No matter what you do" he concluded the conversation: "I just want to remember, remember. Don't hurt the alliance that we have spent nearly thirty years to get to where we are today. I believe that this is the reason for everyone here. "As for the mark that is currently in the market, I have two suggestions: First: decouple the mark from the US dollar and join the currency category of the alliance. Second, look for large amounts of US dollars to dilute the impact of the mark The German Finance Minister. Mr. Theodore Weigel, do you have something to say?¡± ¡°Mr. Jacques.?Theodore sighed and said sincerely: "Regarding what happened last year and the harm it caused to the alliance, I sincerely apologize. Please believe me, this was not my intention. It has only been two years since the reunification of Germany. Every step We are all quite cautious. As for the decoupling from the US dollar you just mentioned, it is not possible for the time being. Decoupling is a long process. Please believe in our country¡¯s sincerity. After the currency crisis was temporarily calmed down in September last year, We are already taking some gentle measures." The man nodded and said solemnly: "We will wait and see." Half an hour later, the meeting ended, and the man who just gave the speech walked to his car while rubbing his swollen temples. The driver was a tall white man who was also his secretary and bodyguard. Seeing him coming in, he smiled respectfully and said, "Your Excellency Jacques, is it not going well?" "Of course it is not going well." Jacques Dror took off his brown spectacle frames, sighed, closed his eyes to rest, and murmured: "Germany People are just a bunch of pigs who only know how to eat and drink. The currency crisis last year was completely caused by them ignoring other members of the alliance and only focusing on the development of their own country. If possible, I don¡¯t want them to join at all.¡± The secretary did not speak. He knew that like Mr. Jacques. People in such a high position are under great pressure. Sometimes, the other party needs more venting than debate. "The Alliance of Communities, it has been so many years since the seven countries signed the Maastricht Treaty" Jacques looked at the roof of the car. The car was not moving. He said softly as if venting: "You know, It's like a weighing scale, one end is down, and the other end is finally getting balanced. Who would have thought that the European financial crisis last year caused the pound to collapse The entire league is filled with an atmosphere of disbelief Yesif I were the British Prime Minister, I would not believe that Germany would not choose what it did last year when encountering similar things in the future" He put on his glasses, and some hawk-shaped noses grew out. With a breath, he pushed up the bridge of his nose: "It is impossible to decouple the mark from the US dollar. Germany cannot be trusted for the time being, and the United States cannot be trusted That is a scavenger wolf that is more greedy than Germany But the remaining residue after last year's currency crisis on the market What to do with the huge mark? Where can the alliance find the impact of two to three billion dollars to equalize the mark?" He waved his hands irritably, probably thinking that this complaint was meaningless: "Drive to the British Finance Minister. I still have something to talk about." "Yes." The car started slowly, and Jacques took out his old handmade pipe. This ugly-looking pipe has been with him for more than fifty years. He picked it up in his twenties and never put it down. Picking up a pinch of cherry-flavored tobacco, this is his favorite flavor, and it is the finest quality tobacco from Zimbabwe. As the bright silver Dupont lighter sounded like a symphony, an intoxicating fragrance filled the carriage. He closed his eyes in intoxication. This was his unique and favorite way to relax between tight meetings. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, there was a tapping sound on the car window, dull and rapid, which made him frown deeply. "It's Melphis" Jacques opened his eyes again. His secretary, who was in his thirties, was full of excitement at the moment, and his fair face was even a little red. He knew that this young man, Melphis, was dedicated to his work and knew how to behave appropriately. He had rarely seen him knocking on the window in such a disrespectful manner in public. It was almost the same as knocking on the door. He frowned slightly and snapped his fingers. The driver rolled down the window knowingly and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, the other party was faster than him! "Your Excellency Jacques!" His voice was panting due to the rapid running, his chest heaved violently, he gritted his teeth, leaned most of his body into the car, and said a few words into Jacques's ear. Jacques' expression was normal, but in just two seconds, he grabbed the other person's hand. The majesty in his eyes and the eagerness for verification were hard to ignore: "When did you arrive?" His voice was more serious than the discussion in Congress just now. Several times, even with an unspeakable urgency. "An hour ago, Your Excellency! You were in a meeting at that time and I didn't notify you." Melphis said anxiously. "Nonsense! This kind of thingyou should have informed me right away! Oh! My God!" The last sound was completely raised. In a hurry, he accidentally held the hot pipe, and his teeth were burned by it. Tightened up. However, he didn¡¯t pause at all. He threw the cigarette butt at the driver, opened the door, and walked out immediately. There are not many people at the entrance of the National Assembly at the moment. As soon as he walked out, a woman in her forties walked up respectfully and whispered: "Your Excellency, Sir Orlando's welcome banquet will be in an hour. You need to get dressed immediately ¡¡± ¡°Put it down.¡± Jacques didn¡¯t say anything.He said hesitantly, without stopping at all, and four capable bodyguards followed him like a shadow. "Your Excellency, in two and a half hours, the British Finance Minister Mr. Burns invites you to discuss with the German Finance Minister and the Italian Finance Minister." "It depends on the situation." Although he was answering, he almost didn't think through it, and went one by one. The instructions were sent out quickly. He turned a blind eye to each staff member and instead issued orders to his most trusted secretary. "Steady him! Invite him to the most luxurious VIP room for foreign guests!" "Yes!" "Inform them there immediately. I will be there within twenty minutes. I want to meet this capitalist in person What does he want? , all unconditionally satisfied!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Go now!¡± Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
