The Third Reich - Chapter 1760

The history of currency has a long history.

At the beginning, there was no currency. When materials were scarce, there was no need at all. There were no extra items, or bartering. Later, equivalents appeared, and general equivalents appeared.

Finally, currency appeared. The original currency had sufficient value, real gold and silver. At this time, counterfeit currency had no value, but later, paper currency appeared.

The history of currency is no longer popular in East China. In short, after entering the era of paper money, it is convenient for the rulers, but it brings many problems, one of which is counterfeit money.

Almost all currencies are issued by various countries, and they circulate in their own countries. The amount of currency issued needs to be based on demand. Too much currency will lead to the terrible evil of inflation.

Individuals can make counterfeit currency, but it is too difficult. Organizations can make it, and it is also difficult to make fake currency. Only a country can use its own power to make counterfeit currency, so that it can truly compare with real currency.

In later generations, counterfeit currency also appeared in endlessly. For example, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States used the spirit of internationalism to help each other print US dollars and rubles, which resulted in all kinds of counterfeit US dollars and rubles on the market.

Koreans have also been printing renminbi and U.S. dollars to help the two countries’ quantitative easing. Southeast Asian drug lords, Mexican drug lords, and Japanese gangsters and Italian gangs are also helping to print U.S. dollar quantitative easing. One out of ten U.S. dollars is fake. These are great. The spirit of internationalism.

In World War II, the printing of counterfeit banknotes was not unusual. Among them, the biggest counterfeiter should be Germany.

Germany formulated part of a huge economic plan to destroy its allies, known as “Operation Bernhard”, the most famous of which was printing the British pound. After all, during World War II, Britain was still the world’s hegemon, and the pound was an international currency.

The design of British banknotes is extremely delicate, the pattern of the Britannia goddess was specially commissioned, and the watermarking process is a masterpiece of an accomplished master. The cross-shaped linen paper has a dense texture, the multi-layer stacking process used is unique, and the digital coding system is well thought out. In short, British banknotes are simply works of art, and almost no one can imitate them, but by 1945, 1/3 of the banknotes in circulation on the market were counterfeit.

This terrible figure is almost all the credit of Germany. Germany uses Jewish labor to print far more currency than the British printing houses in the printing houses near Berlin.

These counterfeit coins have brought great convenience. Anyway, they are the same as the real ones. Many times they use them seriously. For example, the bold action to rescue Mussolini and the subsequent action to rescue Italian Foreign Minister Ziano. Bernhard’s fake currency. All kinds of espionage operations are using counterfeit money to pay. Buy gold and food on the black market. Some counterfeit coins were taken to the German embassies in neutral countries and converted into local currency…

These historical situations have not happened now, and Germany has not launched a war on counterfeit banknotes.

Because Germany has quickly conquered Britain and Europe. Although it is now in wartime, financial security is also very important. When all Europe uses the euro as a unified currency, it will be even more terrifying if counterfeit currency appears.

Reinhardt has always been concerned about the inflow of any counterfeit currency. At the same time, the printing of the euro is quite complicated. After learning from the experience of later generations, the new euro has added a metal wire in the middle. This is a pioneering and also Increased the difficulty of counterfeiting.

Cyric did not use the printing of counterfeit banknotes as a means to combat the enemy’s economy. Currency will cause inflation. This is certain, but under military control, when many goods are rationed, this effect will be Got smaller.

But now, the people of the island nation are out of imagination and plan to print counterfeit dollar bills. Of course, Cyric has to encourage the island nation’s behavior.

“This plan is good.” Cyric said: “These dollar bills flow into the United States, which will cause huge financial panic, and it’s done well.”

Hearing Cyric’s words, Gu Hefeng smiled bitterly: “We have faked it, but it is not easy to enter the American market. We have no channels.”

The islanders are very depressed.

As the war progressed, all trade between the island countries and the United States was interrupted. In this way, the US dollar bills printed by the island countries could not flow into the United States at all and would not have an impact on the US economy.

Those of Japanese descent have been controlled by the Americans, and their movements have been restricted, not to mention helping to circulate these dollars.

It cannot be circulated, cannot flow into the United States, and it is useless to create it.

In history, Germany has many channels, even through neutral countries. The British angrily discovered that many counterfeit banknotes even came from the Chilean embassy in London, the Portuguese consulate in Liverpool, and the Argentine embassy in London~www.mtlnovel.com~ and , Germans can exchange and use it directly in their own occupied zone, which is completely profitable.

The German way cannot be copied by islanders.

Cyric nodded, and the other party had asked for it again.

“We know that Germany and the United States still have secret trade exchanges, so we were wondering whether we can spend this batch of dollars through you…”

Hearing this, Cyric shook his head again and again when he heard this. What are the dwarves of these island nations thinking in their heads?

It is not that Germany and the United States have exchanges, but that Europe and the United States have exchanges. After all, the United States cannot cut off all trade. There are also some bold businessmen who have secret business with Europe.

It can be transited through places like South America, and it is the same in later history. Many businessmen only have interests in their eyes, not countries.

If you want to use Germany to help them spend the money, the island country will definitely not spend it in vain. You might say, just use this batch of fake dollars to pay back the goods owed by the island country before, even if you use 500 fake dollars. One hundred real dollars!

The benefits are all taken up by them, how is this possible! Of course Cyric would not agree.

“No, we German businessmen have always paid attention to integrity, and now we are still cooperating with the most honest businessmen, how can we fool them with fake dollars. This method is not good.” Cyric refused.

At this time, Gu Hefeng’s face was lost again. If Germany did not help spend, the US dollars it made would be useless.

“I have an idea.” Cyric said, “Isn’t it better to throw a balloon bomb anyway, just put on the balloon and hang your printed US dollars?”

Give it away for free, drop from the sky, do not believe that the Americans do not pick it up!
