The Bretton Woods system collapsed?

Adenauer immediately shook his head. This was impossible. The Americans would never accept such a result. Although everyone was trying hard to poach them, they actually understood that when there was something really wrong, they had to rely on them to stand in front. After all, it was not Yang Feng who faced the torrent of Soviet armor.

However, his dual price system is indeed a good suggestion.

This solution not only solves the impact of the depreciation of the US dollar on central banks in the short term, but also makes the US dollar reserves a bargaining chip with the United States and enhances the voice of European countries in front of the United States. For example, if West Germany wants to force the United States to do something, it can first tell them to exchange 5 billion US dollars of gold, that is, 4,000 tons. If the United States refuses to exchange it, it means that the Bretton Woods system is in name only and the United States' credit is gone. If it is exchanged, then take out one-third of the United States' gold reserves. If it does not want the crumbling Bretton Woods system to collapse and cannot bear the precious gold reserves, then we will agree to some of our conditions and we will not exchange it ourselves.

At this time, Adenauer also understood why Yang Feng proposed such a plan. This guy has 10 billion US dollars in his hand, and this is just the foreign exchange reserves of Imperial Bank. If he included what he held in various industries in Europe and the United States, he would have no problem directly exchanging all the gold reserves of the United States. This actually means that he pressed his knife on the neck of the Americans.

"His Excellency, I have to say that you have proposed a very constructive plan. Perhaps we should invite relevant countries to sit down and talk."

Adenauer said with a smile.

As for his arms procurement, there is nothing to say. At this time, West Germany had almost a full set of Ming-style equipment, from tanks to aircraft and missiles to submarines, or imported directly from the Ming Dynasty, or introduced authorized production, and even relying on those authorized production and export of arms, which made the West Germany military industry prosperous. For example, European leopards have become the equipment of most Western European countries.

As for the Death Missile they are going to buy, this is no big deal.

Yang Feng's Zhentian Type 2 has already started testing. Of course, he will not hold Zhentian Type firmly in his arms. Besides, he will not be able to take out the best Zhentian Extended Range Type, the Zhentian Basic Type with a range of 70 kilometers, and then modify the guidance system and replace some things that are too high-end, so that it is basically OK. Anyway, West Germany will basically not be used in actual combat. Usually, it is just a practice to hit a target. It is no big deal if the performance is slightly worse. Even the monkey version is far superior to the Beagle.

After finishing his visit to the aircraft carrier, he and Adenauer responded to the sky, summoned British, French and other envoys on his yacht, sat down to study how to deal with the US dollar crisis, or how to force the United States to take on this matter by itself. As for his dual-price system, of course, everyone must agree. The plan for the American gold warehouse is for everyone to gather the funds and give out at least a few hundred tons of gold to help them overcome the difficulties together. Yang Feng's dual-price system is for everyone to stand by and push the United States to take on his own. Needless to say which of these two plans is more popular.

The remaining question is how to make the Americans so obedient.

But in general, they have to find a way to let them listen if they don’t listen. To put it bluntly, they still made it themselves. If the Federal Reserve had not issued banknotes unscrupulously, how could it have reached this point today? Since it was created by the United States itself, why should others let them wipe their shares?

It makes no sense!

As for the reduction of the United States' gold reserves from 20,000 tons to less than 13,000 tons, it was entirely because they were exchanged by these guys, so there was no need for everyone to mention this.

Just as these guys were sitting on the deck in the sun, drinking tea in the cool sea breeze to study how to trick the boss, their boss was still struggling in the two quagmires in Japan and Annan. Especially the bad news on the battlefield in Japan continued to stimulate the nerves of the American people. A Japanese People's Liberation Army separated from Niigata attacked Fukui along the west coast of the empty defense. The people in the Kansai base sang and danced to welcome their relatives.

There are indeed many of them here who are their relatives. Thousands of people who fled to Hokkaido after the fall of the Kansai base, and at this time they were already the core of the Japanese People's Liberation Army. Now that they are leading troops back, they are of course returning in glory.

Immediately afterwards, the army's front pointed to Nagoya and Osaka. Nixon had to send another infantry division to Japan, which made the total US military force reach five divisions on the battlefield of Japan, and barely blocked their troops in the mountains of Gifu. However, the situation was still very critical, because the Japanese in Osaka and Nagoya were already ready to move and were likely to launch a rebellion. Rebellions began to occur in Okayama, Hiroshima and other places, and the guerrillas even threatened the rear of the US military.

In this case, Nixon had to increase his troops again and invested another division into Japan, so that the total strength of Japan reached six divisions. If three divisions in Annan were added, the United States currently used for front-line operations reached nine divisions, even exceeding the strength invested in the Goryeo War. However, at that time they had a lot of allies, and now they have no allies except Nan Goryeo.

All European countries have refused to send troops to Japan. Asian allies are too busy to take care of themselves. After being beaten by Yang Feng, Australia, the most loyal thug, was no longer in the mood to go out to fight with the US boss. In fact, at this time, Australia was gradually moving away from the US and moving closer to its hometown in Europe. After all, under Yang Feng's nose, he dared to hook up with the US, which was purely seeking death.

Compared to the unreliable protection of the United States, the relationship between Britain and Yang Feng is more worthy of relying on.

In the United States, Hoover was still digging three feet to search for the Shigexin house and the dozen nuclear bombs, and even Miss Masako's residence was searched many times. Of course, there would definitely be no discovery. Not to mention the nuclear bombs hidden, there was no sign of the radiation slightly exceeding the standard. This girl who was persecuted by the Socialist Party and her parents died obviously had no suspicion, but she was not sure if she was not suspected of other Japanese. Hoover arrested thousands of suspected terrorists from all over the country for investigation, and naturally some extraordinary measures were indispensable in the process.

In addition, even many of the Japanese who were not arrested were closely monitored and frequently expelled in various places. Some Americans even proposed that the method of setting up concentration camps should be restored and all Japanese immigrants were kept in captivity, so that they would not have to worry about them coming out to endanger society. Some people also proposed to simply move all Japanese immigrants to a custodial island in the Pacific to fend for themselves. Some even think that the easiest way is to throw them back to their hometown in Japan. In short, for this issue, the American people have also worked together.

However, this kind of remark with serious racial qi qualities has been criticized by the Virgins. After all, Japan was different from World War II. At that time, both sides were irreconcilable enemies. Even if the United States really had any measures against Japanese overseas Chinese, it was understandable, but at this time, both sides were still allies. Are those Japanese overseas Chinese citizens from the Japanese Empire?

However, these messy things did not affect Nixon. Although the US election was not over yet, there was basically no suspense. Kennedy's approval rating was as high as 70%, and winning was a foregone conclusion. Since Nixon was so idle that he would not worry about making wedding clothes for others. He would step down in a few months anyway. Whether abroad or domestic, he would just maintain the same situation. Let's leave the mess to Kennedy to solve it!

He also responded very negatively to the issue of the dollar crisis. After the gold deposit plan was unanimously opposed by allies, he responded coldly to the dual-valence system proposed by Britain and France, and the negotiations within the International Monetary Fund were progressing slowly.

In short, he is just dragging on and delaying all the troubles as much as possible. This is also the reason why he is so cheerful and constantly increasing troops to Japan. Anyway, Kennedy is the headache in the end. Withdrawal will make the situation worse or even defeated. If he does not withdraw his troops, the financial situation will deteriorate or even be unable to sustain. Then the Republican Party can take the opportunity to attack him to restore popularity. It can be said that the more nails laid for Kennedy now, the faster the Republican Party's popularity will recover in the future.

When Kennedy came to power with the hopes of all the American people, and was still struggling in the quagmire, and even perhaps getting deeper and deeper, people will find that compared with Eisenhower, Nixon, and the Republican Party, this idol president is actually the same as the Democratic Party behind him.

It can be said that since the Republican Party does not have the ability to clean itself, it will also pull the Democratic Party into the mud.

In the attention of the whole world, the US election day has finally arrived. Voters from various states in the United States have gone to the voting points to vote for their respective presidential candidates and electors. Soon the election results of each state were counted one after another, but the results were not unexpected. Kennedy won in most states. Although the votes of the Electoral College will be held in December, according to the laws of the state, except for Maine and Nebraska, all the other states are automatically won by the state’s electoral votes, so the voting of the Electoral College is largely a formality. As for the Congressional vote counting at the beginning of next year, it is a pure etiquette procedure.

The result of the election day can basically be determined as the final result.
