Rise from the sword

Chapter 765 D-Day!
December [-]nd.

Ministry of Finance.

The secretary looked at his minister's office, lost in thought.

After returning from the White House, the minister has been depressed and sullen, complaining from time to time that he can't do his job, and he heard yesterday that his minister plans to resign?
What's going on here?
The secretary became interested.

As the Secretary of the Minister of Finance, frankly speaking, this status directly obtains very little. Although the salary is good, it is far from high, and the accumulated political influence is not great.

What about a ministerial secretary, even a direct secretary?It's just a helper, a pure mouthpiece and auxiliary executor, with no decision-making ability at all, anyone can do it.

Unless it's the secretary of the president.

But the competition for this status is still fierce.

Because the Secretary of the Minister of Finance can know a lot of troubles, these 'things' are very popular with the outside world, especially the middle-level businessmen in the business world, and they can often be sold at a good price.

And the situation that can make the Minister of Finance say that he can't continue, or even resign.

The secretary is interested.

His position as secretary was probably coming to an end, so he decided to inquire about it, and then make a good fortune. Although he couldn't get all the information, even a little bit of clues could get him a good price.

but.

Although he is the secretary of the Minister of Finance, he cannot get access to some information that still needs to be kept confidential, and the information that has flowed into his hands does not need to be kept too confidential.

Therefore, getting the news requires him to use some brains, combine what he has seen and heard, analyze it, and finally simply verify it.

It's not difficult for him.

He already knew.

On the western front, with General MacArthur taking office, the Allied forces seemed to be launching an offensive again, and the scale was quite large. A large sum of money was allocated, and many domestic factories received requests to increase production.

then,

Combined with what he knows about Cherbourg, the battle cost nearly [-] billion dollars, and it can be concluded...
Jingle Bell,
At this moment, the phone on the side rang, the secretary interrupted his thoughts, and took the phone casually:
"Get the Secretary of the Treasury to the White House immediately, as quickly as possible."

Inside was the voice of the chief secretary to the president, with a cold, superior tone.

"Yes."

After the secretary responded enviously, he immediately went to notify the minister.

Ten minutes later, the treasury secretary sprinted into the limousine and sped toward the White House.

······
same day.

A world-class copper mining port in South America.

morning.

Worker Deckerman looked at the long line that was almost endless in front of him, without any impatience or anxiety on his expression, and followed the line step by step, with a slight smile on his calm face.

It can be seen from the expression that he is full of expectation and patience at this time.

Because today is pay day.

Deckerman's family was poor, and he had to come out to find a living at the age of 12. Over the past 20 years of working, he has encountered countless companies and bosses, and the journey has been full of blood and tears, full of grievances and helplessness.

But the new boss of this new company is completely different from the previous one.

He had never encountered such an incredible company, such an incredible boss.

Never withhold wages, do not discriminate against workers, give bonuses for hard work, and give as soon as you say, never return or default for any reason, do everything you say, give the dormitory as soon as you say, or the eight-person room with wooden structure , much better than the dilapidated house in his hometown.

Of course, there were also some problems in the middle.

In the face of money and interests, there are always people who have other ideas. The company's system is implemented by humans, but the problems are finally solved, and even the workers whose wages are deducted are compensated.

In the past few months, Deckerman has been full of confidence in this company and full of curiosity about the boss.

The team advanced slowly, and finally it was Deckerman's turn after an hour.

"All in dollars?"

Looking at the stack of wages in his hand, Deckerman was a little surprised.

In the past, wages, or bonuses, especially for their workers, were mainly paid in domestic currency, and some materials could be purchased at a [-]% discount on the direct market price, and purchases were limited.

Because the national currency is unstable, almost everyone buys supplies directly.

He looked around, not only him, but all the wages of the workers had been converted into dollars.

"Yes, they are all in US dollars, and they will all be issued in US dollars in the future."

The person who paid the wages replied with a smile in the still small number of local languages:

"Of course, you can also buy some supplies with a [-]% discount, and the rest of the goods can be purchased directly with US dollars."

"no need··"

Looking at the dollar in his hand, Deckerman hesitated for a while and left directly.

If it is US dollars, then there is no need to buy supplies.

save it.

He is not short of those discounted products, and he has accumulated a lot in the past few months. As a skilled mining machinery and equipment operator, coupled with his hard work and willingness to work, his salary is quite a lot, and his bonuses are even more so. The coworkers are jealous.

The U.S. dollar is a hard currency. Compared with domestic money, it has been rising. Simply put, it is getting more and more valuable.

It's good to save some dollars.

Anyway, where are the stores where the dollars are available.

Abroad is also possible.

When you save enough money, you may be able to immigrate to the United States!
Born and raised in South America, Deckerman has a dream of 'freedom' in America, where he believes he can find his ideal life.

but···
Now, another idea emerged in his mind, although it was very small.

Go to the country where the boss of the current company is located. He wants to see what kind of place can cultivate such an incredible good company and good boss.

······
It was also the same day.

"You can actually buy it..."

In a port on the southeast coast, a traitorous businessman from Mili looked at the huge ship in front of him which was undergoing handover procedures, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

This is a 22-ton roll-on-roller with a self-unloading deck, a high-horsepower high-speed crane, steam turbine power, a maximum cruising speed of [-] knots, and a [-]-horsepower diesel engine.

It is said that its technological advancement is comparable to that of an Iowa-class warship, especially the power system.

Because of the huge transportation demand in the United States and the extremely convenient transportation of various vehicles, roll-on-roll-off wheels are not available in the market. Massive transportation companies are asking for them, and even pay directly with gold, but they still cannot buy them.

And now, he got it.

Although the price is a bit high, it needs 500 million US dollars, but it is still lower than the market in today's chattering dollars, even if he resells it, he can...
"wrong!"

Thinking of this, the Mili businessman suddenly realized.

If he can buy it, so can others.

The content of the commercial announcement three days ago announced that many products that can be purchased, including the roll-on wheels coveted by American shipping merchants, are open for sale and can be paid in US dollars.

He paid immediately and got the goods in just three days.

To be precise, the goods were received one day after the payment, 500 million US dollars is not a small sum, he only completed the payment yesterday afternoon, and he got the goods this morning.

That said, they have plenty in stock.

Although it is not clear how much inventory this group has, and why it is directly open to purchase in US dollars, or even payment in treasury bonds, he is sure that there will be many such roll-on wheels on the market.

A quantity sufficient to meet market demand.

Otherwise, the other party will not allow the use of US dollars to buy.

Because of the war and military needs, the American market needs a large number of such large roll-on wheels that can load hundreds of tanks at a time and complete high-speed unloading.

"Pity."

The American businessman sighed.

It is very profitable to transport for the military, but where there is a resale price difference, it is quick to make money.

·····
It was also the same day.

"Can it be paid with treasury bonds?"

In a port on the southeast coast, an American drug dealer stared at the seller in front of him in surprise, very surprised.

Since ancient times in the business world, there has been a saying that the seller is the uncle.

But it also depends.

Now this high-tech advanced medicine is only available from the other party's company, and among the thousands of medicines, many are epoch-making and necessities, forming an absolute monopoly.

Otherwise, for some medicines, the other party would not directly bid [-] dollars a bottle.

At this price, only the top rich can afford it.

But obviously, the cost of the other party's medicine is very low.

Because in their country, there are domestic and international patients, even a bottle of [-] dollars of top-notch drugs are provided free of charge, but unfortunately there are strict system restrictions, and reselling is illegal, otherwise he would want to buy from those patients .

And now, this top-notch monopoly necessity actually accepts the purchase of U.S. dollar bonds.

Ordinary people may not know, but can they not know?
The U.S. dollar keeps falling, and the national debt of the United States is like a snowball due to the needs of the war. With the rise here, the future development of the United States is also cast a shadow.

Naturally, bond prices have also fallen along the way.

Today, the only thing that is strong in the market is gold, which rises again and again.

Now, this kind of absolute monopoly business actually requires payment in US dollars, and treasury bonds are acceptable.

Isn't this tantamount to taking over the huge debt of the United States?They are hard-core allies, the kind of heartbroken ones.

What's wrong?

He thought.

Here and the United States are only superficial allies. There is no doubt about this. The Pacific naval battle and the latest Atlantic situation are very obvious. So, what happened?
····
at the same time.

White House.

"They are?"

The Minister of Finance and Lao Du were also lost in thought.

Not only the businessman can't understand, but even these two people can't understand why the other party would do this. This is simply a great help to the United States, and it is the kind that does not require wages and expenses.

"Could it be..."

The finance minister's eyes gradually lit up:

"They have a big financial problem, their own currency is unstable, and they need a large amount of foreign exchange in US dollars, so they are allowed to use US dollars for payment? Even foreign transactions directly use US dollars?"

"It's very likely."

The economic consultant on the side immediately agreed:
"This can also explain why the other party suddenly showed an aggressive military attitude."

"Their crazy, unplanned construction has caused major problems in the internal economy, which require external forces to solve, but they are afraid that we will take advantage of the opportunity, so they threaten us militarily."

For a long time, this famous American and world-class economic expert has been somewhat difficult to understand.

Why is there a huge construction project on the other side.

The vast majority of them are absolutely loss-making and unnecessary projects.

For example, in order to build roads, mountains were directly flattened, large reservoirs were excavated in mountainous areas to irrigate farmland, and the construction was based on the standard of a 100-year drought. Acres of collective farmland.

They even claimed that the road was built to the door of any household.

And did it.

In addition to making the local people live better, no matter how you look at it, these are of no economic benefit and are completely blood loss.

If it is not suitable for living, why not just let people move out soon? Why spend so much effort?For this reason, he published several papers discussing this matter, but many people in the academic circle opposed it.

The reasons are from people, and cultural objections.

Now the 'economic problem' on the other side has made this economic boss feel a lot more comfortable. He is indeed right. This also means that the economy on the other side is an idiot.

"It's good for us."

Old Du immediately beamed with joy.

It is a great thing for the United States that a large amount of U.S. dollar bonds flow overseas and flow to the world. This means that the possibility of uncontrolled depreciation of the U.S. dollar is greatly reduced, and the degree of danger of the U.S. economy is also greatly reduced.

"Let MacArthur launch an attack according to his battle plan."

Old Du is very loyal.

····
December [-]rd.

D-Day as MacArthur called it.

The so-called D-day is a name of the US military, which is considered an important date of military operations.

This day is later hailed as the most important day in the world.

Because on this day, Lao Maitou led more than 500 divisions under him, gathered more than 1 planes, and more than 3 tanks to attack the old fox's Siegfeller line of defense.

Also the same day.

Eastern line.

The impatient Mustache finally changed his previous combat plan and ordered the troops to launch a general attack on Moscow. The troops of more than 70 divisions rushed to Moscow to compress the encirclement.

At the same time, 4000 tanks on the two wings, including more than [-] No. [-] tanks, also launched a surprise attack on Ular.
