This British Empire is worthy of being an old imperialist that dominated the world for hundreds of years. When Germany was still busy killing people, setting fires and grabbing territories and resources, they were already thinking about the issue of the new world finance and economic order after the war, and also figured out a world currency. However, our Chancellor Chang was also a "experienced person". Of course, he understood what the British were thinking. Due to the consumption of the two world wars, the Bank of England's vault was empty - it was originally stored in most of the world's gold reserves! Now all these gold has gone to the United States. In the original monetary system, gold played the role of a tool for issuing money and an international clearing, while the British pound benefited from the super-strong national strength of the British Empire and the mountain of gold accumulated in the Bank of England's vault. To some extent, it also played the role of quasi-international reserve currencies and quasi-international clearing tools, which was somewhat similar to the US dollar in later generations.

After losing most of its gold reserves and its national strength to dominate the world, the glory of the British pound will certainly never return, but Churchill and the rulers of the British Empire were unwilling to lose the "golden finger" that could turn stones into gold, nor were they willing to let the United States or Germany have this "golden finger" - in their opinion, the United States has the most gold and the most prosperous economy in the world, while Germany controls the largest force in the world, so the US dollar or the Mark that replaced the British pound. As for China's Chinese Yuan, it is definitely not the number, so when it comes to establishing a "world currency" system, China is definitely a ally that can win over. This is also the reason why Churchill and Aiden invited Chang Ruiqing and Liao Zhongkai at the embassy that night when they arrived in Berlin.

Chang Ruiqing and Liao Zhongkai had actually studied the "Keynes Plan" of the British. Churchill did not need to slap in his mouth and fully understood what medicine was sold in the British gourd. This former world overlord wanted to master the right to issue world currency through part of the world monetary system, at least not let this power fall into the hands of the United States or Germany! On this issue, China and Britain do have common interests.

After Churchill carefully explained the issuance of "world currency", "world bank", "world currency", and the relationship between currencies of various countries and "world currency" to Chang Ruiqing and Liao Zhongkai one by one. Chang Ruiqing nodded thoughtfully and looked at Churchill solemnly: "Prime Minister, I have understood the UK's opinions on the issue of future world currency issuance. In a major principle, I can support this concept. I think this is beneficial to both China and Britain, but in some specific details, I think many of the methods you proposed are still questionable. For example, there are problems with the issuance and distribution of "world currency". We believe that using the average total import and export volume in the three years before the war as the basis for issuing and distributing "world currency" is difficult to be recognized by the great powers and people of all countries in the world."

Churchill nodded without comment. In fact, he did not expect China, the United States and Germany to agree with the issuance and distribution method of the "world currency" proposed by Britain. That was just a British lion who spoke out loud and waited for others to bargain. What really made Churchill worried was not someone to bargain, but no one was interested, and he directly rejected the claim of "world currency"! Fortunately, the Chinese Prime Minister is now on the side of Britain. And the United States and Germany will definitely be in opposition because of "dollar hegemony" and "mark hegemony" - without China's support, neither the US dollar nor the Mark will definitely be able to win the status of the world reserve currency. In the end, they can only settle for the second best to build a "world currency" jointly controlled by the great powers.

Thinking of this, Churchill's face gradually showed a smile. He picked up the high-legged wine glass on the dining table, turned it gently for a while, and said: "The issue of the issuance and distribution of 'world currency' can be left to be discussed by leaders of various countries after the Berlin Peace Conference begins. Of course, we are not experts in finance and currency, and can only reach a principled agreement. The specific details of the cāo should be left to professionals from all countries to negotiate and resolve."

Fatty Qiu's opinion is actually a big and small trap. At present, the world cannot be ranked in terms of fighting the British Empire. But when it comes to playing finance and currency, haha, how can a stubborn German man and an uninformed oriental man have better play with the financial experts of the British Empire? As long as the experts discuss it slowly, the interests of the British Empire will be maximized in the end!

Chang Ruiqing and Liao Zhongkai looked at each other and nodded. Churchill's words seemed to make sense. No matter how good the negotiations between China and Britain are, it is useless. The issue of "world currency" should indeed be discussed by the leaders of the four major countries of China, the United States, Britain and Germany.

"Okay, after President Roosevelt arrives in Berlin, we will discuss this issue together." Chang Ruiqing paused and said: "Now I want to hear the Prime Minister's opinions on the Soviet Union, Japan, the South China Federation and India's post-war handling."

"The British Empire has no territorial requirements for the Soviet Union, Japan, the South China Federation and India." Churchill was straightforward on this issue. In fact, he knew that even if he refused to give in, it would be useless. Britain's military strength determined that she could only pursue a situation where she lost less. "But the British colonies on Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Bismarck Islands must be completely returned to Britain."

"We have no territorial ambitions for those areas." Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly, almost returning Churchill's words as it was. But his meaning was that China did not want those territories, rather than supporting Britain to take back those territories!

"Mr. Prime Minister, we both have common interests on the issue of Australia!" British Foreign Secretary Aiden suddenly interrupted: "We know that the Germans want to exile all Russians to Australia after the war. Such consequences will be disastrous, because a powerful Russia will be revived in Australia, and they will not forget the hatred of the demise of the Soviet Union!"

Chang Ruiqing frowned slightly and said slowly: "Exile to the Russians is imperative. We have an idea to disperse the Russians, and some of them will be established on the island of New Guinea; some can be established in Assam-Naga region; some can be established in Timor-Leste; some can be established in Africa; some can be located in Africa; some hope can be accepted and resettled by the British Empire."

Churchill's brows frowned tightly, and he started to smoke with a cigar in his mouth. He seemed very unhappy, but his expression was disguised. This fat man was definitely a good actor. Chang Ruiqing's method of "Russian demolition and resettlement" proposed by Chang Ruiqing was definitely a crush on Churchill's wishes. For the British Empire, 75 million to 80 million Russians are a big trouble, while 30 million Russians are wealth!

"The eastern part of New Guinea is a colony of the British Empire." Aiden also said with an unhappy look: "Britain cannot sell that area. As for the 30 million Russians, Britain can consider accepting it, but it is necessary to let Britain choose among all Russias."

Yes, the Russians are of varying quality. As long as the British Empire is hardworking and educated, idiots, lazy people, and Soviet GCD players don’t want them all.

Chang Ruiqing looked embarrassed: "New Guinea Island..." In fact, he did not want the Russians to establish a country on British New Guinea Island, but wanted to set a piece of land on half of New Guinea Island belonging to the South China Federation (Japan). However, since the British misunderstood his meaning, Chang Ruiqing did not intend to explain. Instead, he wanted to go with the flow and make a price: "It would be better to arrange another 10 million Russians in the British African colonies. It seems that it is not the core interest of the British Empire?"

Churchill and Aiden exchanged glances with each other. African colonies other than South Africa are indeed not the core interests of Britain. Moreover, the Germans are rapidly expanding their territory and influence. It may not take long before most of Africa will belong to the Germans!

"Okay, let's arrange another 10 million Russians to Kenya and Uganda." Churchill said with a painful face.

Kenya and Uganda should be relatively good territory in sub-Saharan Africa, with good climate and natural conditions and abundant resources. However, Churchill was not very willing to take out these two territory, because close to Uganda and Kenya is Ethiopia, one of the two Du Li countries in Africa that believe in Orthodox religion. This Ethiopia has long been a "quasi-colonial" that Italians like, but because Mussolini is busy with Hitler.

Attack the Soviet Union together. So they didn't care about it for the time being, and they were expected to take action after the World War. At that time, I don't know if the Russians in Kenya and Uganda will support their Orthodox brothers? Even if the Russians in Africa do not support Ethiopia, they will definitely be hostile to the Italian colonial empire, and they will hate the destruction of their country! If there is a "black Russia" and Italy in Africa in the future, it may delay the pace of German forces' going south...

"Very good, then I am here to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister and the British Empire for the generosity of the Russian people who are suffering from the Bolsheviks." Chang Ruiqing didn't care about Churchill's small abacus. As long as there is no unified and powerful new Russia in the south of his own in the future, as for whether there will be a "black Russia" in Africa, hehe, it is also Hitler's trouble! And if the British Empire is revived because of the additional 30 million hard-working Russians, it is also what Prime Minister Chang is very happy to see - a white world is more beneficial than a two-strong opposition.

...

When Chang Ruiqing and Churchill were having a great time at the dining table of the British Embassy, ​​Roosevelt was walking off the plane with two canes and supported by two large American soldiers. The airport was full of people, and Hitler came to welcome him in person. Germany is now a fascinating country. Although the prestige of the Nazi Party is getting higher and higher, it has not established power after all, and the National Defense Forces did not swear allegiance to Hitler, and there is no organization like the Stormtrooper and the SS. So, except for a team of honor guards of three armies, Roosevelt did not see many people in military uniforms. Even German President Hitler wore a suit and played with a blonde beauty, shook hands with Roosevelt with a smile.

"Welcome to you, Mr. President." Hitler held Roosevelt's wet big hand and smiled: "The last time we met in Berlin, the situation of the world war was very critical. I didn't expect that in just over a year, we would be able to discuss the post-war situation in Berlin. It's really touching."

Roosevelt smiled awkwardly, of course he had already cursed in his heart. Hitler's words were too damn, and he was simply a slap in the face! However, the courtesy of face must not be less. After a few short greetings, he raised the national flag and reviewed the guard of honor and got on the Maybach luxury car prepared by Hitler and drove to the Caesarhof Hotel in downtown Berlin. This time, visiting the residence of the Chinese, American and British leaders in Berlin was also quite interesting. Chang Ruiqing checked into the Royal City residence of the German Presidential Palace, Churchill lived in the British Embassy in Germany, and Roosevelt and a large group of people from the US delegation stayed in the Caesarhof Hotel.

"Mr. Roosevelt, this Berlin Peace Conference is expected to last twenty days," German Foreign Minister Walter Ratnau sat in the passenger seat and turned his head. He told Roosevelt: "The reason why the meeting lasted so long is mainly because our country's President Hitler was unable to attend the meeting every day because of commanding military affairs on the Western Front. Therefore, he could only hold a formal meeting every few days. The first formal meeting will be held on May 2, mainly discussing the handling of the post-war Soviet Union, Japan (including the Nanyang Islands), and India."

Walter Rattenau only talked about the main issues to be discussed at the first plenary meeting of the four leaders, and did not say how to hold a future meeting, which depends on the results of the first plenary meeting.

After hearing this, Roosevelt frowned slightly. The Soviet Union, Japan, and India's post-war disposal did not seem to be anything wrong with the United States. The only thing that has something to do with the United States is probably the tens of thousands of American prisoners in India's hands, and whether the United States can gain any benefits in the South Pacific? By the way, is the Russian disposal also discussed at the meeting on May 2?

Thinking of this, Roosevelt turned his head to look at Hitler and smiled, "Mr. Hitler, I want to know how you plan to treat the defeated Russian nation? This issue should be discussed at the May 2 meeting?"

"Mr. Roosevelt, on this issue, we have only one principle, and most Russians must leave Europe. Because the German people need space to live," Hitler said in a cold tone.

"The fate of the loser..." Roosevelt was a little sad. "But where should these poor people go? Otherwise, if we send some to the United States, the United States can provide some immigration quotas, how about 10 million people?"

"The United States wants 10 million?" Hitler was a little surprised. He knew that the immigration management in the United States is relatively strict. Roosevelt actually took out an immigration quota of 10 million at one time. Is this... to win over the Russian nation?

"Yes, 10 million, maybe more, Mr. Hitler, you know, there are many Russians in the United States, His Highness Anastasinia, the princess of Nicholas II, and Krenzky, Denikin and Kolchak, who also live in the United States." Roosevelt's expression was still very sad: "Now they all hope to help their Russian fellow countrymen, so we will accept some Russian immigrants as much as possible. I originally wanted to accept more Russian immigrants, but the limit that Congress could tolerate was about 10 million."

"Anastasinia, Krenzky, Denikin, Kolchak..." Hitler's face suddenly looked ugly. These people could form a Tsarist Russian! There was an empress, a prime minister, a minister of the army and a minister of the navy. After the demise of the Soviet Union, the GCD brand must be terrible among the Russians. The only one who could unite them was probably the Romanov dynasty! Roosevelt now took out a quota of 10 million immigration and mentioned the major figures of the Romanov dynasty and Russia's temporary zhèng fu. He must have wanted to use the Russian nation as a bargaining chip at the Berlin Peace Conference!

"Very good, I'm glad that the United States can help us digest 10 million Russians. Thank you very much," Hitler did not continue to entangle with Roosevelt on this issue, but instead changed a topic and said: "I think the United States and Germany will find more common ground on other issues, such as the new order of international trade after the war. Mr. Ratner, tell me what you think."

"Okay, Your Excellency President." Rattenau took over the question and said with a smile: "After the war, Germany and the United States were the two largest exporters of industrial products in the world. The two steel outputs accounted for 70% to 80% of the global steel output, automobiles accounted for more than 80%, shipbuilding capacity also accounted for more than 70%, and petroleum smelting and processing capacity also accounted for more than 80%. Such huge industrial production capacity is obviously impossible to digest based on the local markets of our two countries. Only by selling our goods to underdeveloped countries and the mainland can our domestic economy maintain prosperity. Therefore, both of us need a global market and both need to make international trade more tempting."

"Trade zi, inducement and opening up the door are our always propositions. We are very happy that Germany can stand with us. I think as long as our two countries reach an agreement on this issue, will other countries only obey?"

Roosevelt said freely: "In addition, in order to promote trade and investment inducement, the United States believes that it should promote the internationalization of the United States and Marks, and establish a new international monetary system based on the US dollar and marks. Our vision is that the US dollar and marks are pegged to gold, and the currencies of other countries around the world are pegged to the US dollar and marks, and a fixed exchange rate is implemented."

Of course, Americans want an international monetary system dominated by the US dollar, but the United States does not have a military force to support the hegemony of the US dollar, so it can only temporarily bring Germany together. As long as we first establish a system like "gold-dollar, mark-other currencies in the world", and eliminate the mark with the US economic strength and gold reserves, so as to achieve a situation of dominance of the US dollar. Just create a small Mark crisis, and Wall Street is almost invincible in this regard.

"But we don't have enough gold to support Mark," Hitler frowned slightly and said coldly: "The Empire Mark is not a currency that is linked to gold, and we don't think it's a good way to peg money to gold, because it's not gold that supports the value of the currency, but production! The gold stored in the bank vault is nothing, it's just a bunch of special stones, and it's not used for steel. It's ridiculous to peg money to such stones... In addition, pegging money to gold will also cause wealth to be concentrated in gold-producing countries, which is unreasonable. So Germany cannot accept it!"
