Chapter 747 Currency Situation
Which of the two organizations, NATO and the European Union, was established earlier?
Many people have a misconception that the EU is an old-fashioned organization, mainly because the EU has been very active in recent years, and its internal members are all old-fashioned countries, such as Germany, France, France, the Netherlands and other old-fashioned colonial countries.

Then subconsciously think that the EU is an old organization.

But in fact, this concept is wrong. The European Union was established in December 1991, but its situation is somewhat special. It was previously called the European Community, and it was established in July 12.

NATO was established in August 1949.

People don't get better and better as they get older, whether it's a company or an individual.

Nokia was founded in 1865, and Apple was founded in 1976. The difference between the two is more than a century, but 20 years later, Apple became a giant and Nokia was forced to transfer its business.

This is the case with the European Union and NATO. Regardless of the fact that NATO was established early and has the support of Yingjiang, it is still not as good as the European Union of more than a dozen countries.

The specific reason does not mean how big the gap between the two parties is, but that the two are fundamentally different.

One is a loose organization forced to resist the super-state (Big Brother).

The other is to challenge the super-state (Eagle Sauce + Big Brother) and form a close alliance with everyone’s strength. Although the process is not smooth, for example, the European Union was formally established as early as 91, but until January 99, 1 This is when the currency is issued internally.

Then it dragged on for four days before the euro officially entered the financial market.

As for the euro in a broad sense?
In fact, after a three-year transition period, it began to be officially circulated.

Money matters, especially as finance evolves.

From the silver standard, to the gold standard, and then the current dollar monetary system.

Currency can have a huge impact on a country, or even the world!
In fact, as early as the 60s, some people proposed monetary integration, that is, the implementation of the euro currency.

This is an inevitable process of history. When a powerful country emerges, it must issue currency.

After all, the essence of currency is a piece of paper, but this piece of paper is endowed with amazing value because it is endorsed by the country's reputation.

In fact, this situation should have appeared long ago. For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, paper money such as Jiaozi appeared.

The reason why Europe did not appear is because of the history of more than 1000 years, whether it is the disputes in the Middle Ages, or the industrial upgrading of technological progress, etc., even if the country continues to grow stronger, its influence in the world is getting stronger and stronger.

But there is always a fatal problem, that is, the lack of a voice that can make the final decision!

Why is Qin Shihuang great?
His greatness lies in the establishment of a unified thought, the elimination of the languages ​​of other countries, and the elimination of the barriers between countries, thus creating an unprecedented - super empire!
This is a breakthrough progress across the ages.

This is from this period of time, the embryonic form of a huge empire gradually formed in the hearts of everyone.

Then, after 400 years of watering by the Han family, the concept of a great country was finally completely consolidated!
And in distant Europe, at the same time period, there was also a person who did similar things, and this was the legendary emperor of Europe——Alexander the Great.

Under his leadership, the Macedonian Empire experienced the Hippo War, the Battle of Granicus River, the Battle of Issus, the Siege of Tyre, the Battle of Gaugamela, etc., and finally established the Alexander Empire.

But it is a pity that Alexander the Great died too early, at the age of only 33, before he had time to implement his own policies.

Qin Shihuang next door also did not live long, only 49 years old.

But the extra 16 years were enough for Qin Shihuang to spread his ideas and the framework of a super empire.

How unique is Qin Shihuang's vision?How advanced is the thinking?How scary is the frame of the design?
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the first emperor Liu Bang, a reckless boss, did not think of overthrowing the framework finalized by Qin Shihuang.

But after thinking about it, he finally despaired and gave up. He could only use most of Qin's framework, and this framework has been used for hundreds of years. After continuous optimization of successive dynasties, it finally ushered in There was a qualitative change.

And on the other side of Europe?

One wrong step, one wrong step, the premature death of Alexander the Great, coupled with the stupidity of his heir, directly wasted this great opportunity, resulting in a 2000-year-long window of time in Europe, which did not end until the period of great voyages This prolonged internal friction.

But the good times didn't last long, because it was followed by several industrial upgrades!
The best opportunity has been lost, and the most fatal problem brought about by industrial upgrading is that people have more choices!

During the feudal dynasty, people had no choice but to rely on the landlords and nobles in order to survive.

But after industrial upgrading, people can go to factories to earn money to support themselves instead of farming, and the choices have become diverse, which represents the evolution from the farming age to the industrial age.

Man is a very interesting animal. A man who has no choice is more ferocious and cruel than any beast.

But after having a choice, he will be as docile as a sheep.

And when there are more than two choices, people are not fools, and they will naturally think about which choice is most beneficial to them.

Industrial upgrading seems to make the country stronger.

But in essence, it was robbing the king of the population. No one noticed this at the beginning. As time went by, the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense, and finally the First World War broke out, which represented the departure of the European monarchy from the world stage.

The essence of World War II was a man-made tragedy caused by several countries with strong industries due to unequal interests. This tragedy even evolved into racial conflicts between different countries.

World War II was terrible, too many people died.

It was precisely because it was so miserable that everyone was relatively more restrained during the subsequent Cold War period.

Of course, the more important reason is because the weather has changed.

The original industrial powers were ruined because of this war, but there were exactly two countries that benefited from it and became a super country far surpassing other powers. So it started from the Cold War?
The rules of the world have changed, and everyone has been forced to enter a brand new track mode.

Whether it was out of their own interests or to avoid the situation of breeding tigers, these two big bosses standing on top of everyone started to lay mines intentionally or unintentionally.

Gods fight, and mortals suffer. Who will suffer the most in the end of these two masters fighting?

Thinking about it carefully, it's really not these two big guys.

Since the end of World War II, the civil rights movement that followed has caused the collapse of European countries that originally had a large number of colonies in the world. Whether it is Eagle Sauce or Big Brother, they have worked hard in this regard.

People are not fools. It is impossible for you to put a knife on your neck. I have no reaction at all. Seeing that the situation is getting worse, I have the idea of ​​huddling together to keep warm. This is the predecessor of the European Union - the European Community.

Interestingly, the original purpose of the establishment of the European Community.

One is to help the post-war economic recovery, and the other is to stabilize its own status as a great power. After all, the situation of bipolar hegemony has already formed at that time, and no one wants to be restrained.

The initiator was then Prime Minister Churchill, but is it really the day when the European Community was established?
An extremely exciting scene appeared, one of the promoters, Ying Jiang, was kicked out, but the Gallic Rooster joined in.

It seems funny, but in fact this is an inevitable result.

After the emergence of the European Community, who is the greatest threat?
It's not Eagle Sauce, and it's not Big Brother, but Bipolar!

Two people share the cake and three people share the cake, not to say that everyone can get a third.

But less than one-third, or even lower!
This is the leading effect. Now that the European Community has emerged, why can't there be sub-community and non-community?

Of course, this isn't the scariest thing yet.

The above-mentioned situation will only affect its own status at most. The truly terrible situation is that the European Community directly joins hands with one of the two poles to swallow the other pole, or advances at both ends, and directly pulls the original two poles into the water.

Why wasn't the original proposed Yingjiang one of the original six nations?

Because the foundation of Yingjiang is too strong and its influence spreads all over the world, this is intolerable in the eyes of the two elder brothers, not to mention that not long after the end of World War II, Churchill wanted to establish the European Community.

The two big brothers and you are still good brothers in name, but secretly they have played many insidious tricks.

In just over half a century, the land of Yingjiang has changed from 3400 million square kilometers to 24 square kilometers, which is equivalent to more than half a century. The country ceded all the land, and by the way owed the other party two and a half .

This shows how much these two big brothers love Yingjiang.

Of course, when the European Community was formally established, the sauce was not so miserable.

But at that time, it was hard to say whether the sauce was still the sauce.

The penetration ability of the Angsa gang has always been very strong. In [Yes, the Prime Minister], they have clearly laughed at themselves about this problem.

As for the eldest brother?

The Cambridge Five is definitely the most embarrassing event for the sauce, enough to shame them in front of people all over the world.

The first is the problem of ingredients, and the second is that it is easy to get burned.

It was based on these concerns that the original European Community refused to join. Even if Yingjiang joined later, he joined with two other countries eight years later, but the authority in the European Community is not very high.

As for the issue of currency issuance?
