"Borrow it from someone else?"

Sitting in the chair, His Majesty the Emperor rubbed his temples and looked at the world map on the left wall. There was no doubt that this "other person" must be talking about the Bayler Federation.

But he had doubts about whether Byler Federation would lend him money.

Everyone knows that the conflict between Gefra and the Byler Federation is difficult to resolve. He is happy to see the Byler Federation suffer misfortune. He also believes that the president and his cabinet also hope that he will be unlucky.

Maybe they are popping champagne to celebrate that the Gaevra Empire has encountered unprecedented trouble. If they are asked to borrow money at this time, will they borrow money?

The emperor was thinking about these questions, and his eyes inadvertently passed by Xenia, who was standing aside.

"You can sit down...", he said casually, but what was a little strange was that Genia did not sit down.

His Majesty the Emperor's brows trembled. If things were going smoothly in the past, his eyebrows would have been squeezed together, but now they were just trembling.

So many irritating things have made him less prone to anger than in the past, and as he began to focus again, he could faintly smell something wrong in the room, something not very clean. smell.

A smell...that reminds people of many things.

"He didn't take a break, did he?" he asked, and then sighed, "They want to celebrate, so they won't take a break. You can call him for me and I'll have a chat with him."

Genia walked to the table and picked up one of the phones that looked like a work of art. The microphone made of rhinoceros horn was wrapped in thin gold skin, carved with beautiful patterns, and inlaid with various gemstones. Anti-slip.

She was a little afraid of His Majesty the Emperor. After all, this emperor who didn't seem very mighty had fought his way through life and killed all his opponents before he came to power. Everyone would be in awe of him.

The call was quickly connected, and she handed the phone to the emperor.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight, please go back and rest first..."

Genia left after saluting. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, the emperor suddenly coughed, which forced Genia to stop and turn around to look at the emperor.

"I don't like interfering in other people's private affairs, but you are my sister and the princess of the royal family, so..." He was thinking about how to make his words simple and clear without being offensive.

But after much thought, he couldn't find the right words, so he just made a somewhat unnatural gesture, "Do you understand?"

Genia nodded, "I understand, I have already washed it, I will not be pregnant with his child."

"Thank you for everything you have done for the royal family..."

Genia bowed again and left, but this time she closed the door hard. She believed that the emperor would not care about her small gesture.

After the door was closed, His Majesty the Emperor shook his head. Lin Qi was destined to be impossible to marry Genia. This was not because he wanted to break up the couple, or to arrange Genia to other nobles, it was just a simple matter. objective view.

The age difference between them is a bit big, and Lynch has a certain status and influence in the Federation.

Putting aside whether Genia, as an imperial princess, can marry outside, even if she can, she is willing to marry Lynch. Will Lynch marry her?

Obviously not. His Majesty the Emperor has long heard that Lynch has an ambiguous relationship with the daughters of several consortium leaders. Compared with the declining imperial princess, it is obvious that the increasingly powerful federal conglomerates are Lynch’s best choice. Suitable goals.

He didn't want to admit that the Gefra Empire was in decline, but the facts didn't allow him to pretend not to see it.

Abandoning those distracting thoughts, he picked up the phone and asked, "Are you still here?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm still here." Lynch's voice was very gentle and gentle. The emperor who talked to him on the phone for the first time felt that he was not an aggressive and aggressive young man, but an ...It can give people a warm feeling like the sun.

This liar!

He chuckled lightly, "I had a chat with Genia just now, and I have some questions about your thoughts."

"Well, you say."

His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth and hesitated for two or three seconds, "Do you think Bayler will lend us the money?"

"We are not avoiding some issues. Do you think your president will help us solve some domestic problems at this time?"

At this time, this kind of question can only be asked to Lynch. First of all, Lynch is a federal citizen and has a status. It is said that he has been invited to attend the victory celebration ceremony of Mr. President, although the election has not yet started.

This means that he has a good relationship with the higher-ups.

Secondly, he is a businessman and a capitalist himself. He understands the federal code of conduct better than himself and other ministers, and his ideas have more reference value.

Lynch's answer was short and powerful, "Yes!"

This is what Emperor Gaevra cannot understand about the Federation. The two sides are obviously enemies. Why is the Bayler Federation still willing to lend him money at this time?

If in another situation, the Bayler Federation needs some money to tide over the difficulties, he will never borrow it, just watching the Bayler Federation unable to escape from the trouble.

He does not understand the federation and cannot understand what it means for capital to come first.

As long as they can make money and have benefits, federal capitalists will dare to plunder these benefits and push for legislation to protect the legality of their plunder. Even if the president changes, they will not give up their interests.

Presidents often have it, interests don't always have it.

What's more, if the emperor really wants to borrow the money, he has to meet some additional conditions put forward by the Bayler Federation, and only then will the federation lend him the money.

The conversation between the two had ended. His Majesty the Emperor thanked Lynch for some advice and then hung up the phone.

On the other side, Lynch also hung up the phone and walked back into the crowd to continue the celebration.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor now calls Mr. President of the Federation and talks about his thoughts, the time from the two parties reaching an agreement to the money entering the Gaevra Empire will not be too short, at least until early or mid-November. Everyone still has Make more money for at least a week.

The next day, the situation did not improve very well. Major banks were still limiting the number of counters and the amount of money withdrawals. They closed a large number of windows on the grounds that it might cause chaos.

The small number of windows and slow processing allow the small amount of money in the bank to at least cope with the current situation. We are not without money, but the work speed is very slow, and everyone can get their money.

That's what they're saying.

Sometimes the "people" are stupid. They easily listen to some inexplicable lies and believe them to be true. For example, if someone says that there is no money in the bank, they actually believe it.

Sometimes they are very smart. No matter how the government tries to save the situation, they don't think it is true. It is just a scam and a strategy. They only believe in themselves.

What’s even more interesting is that they are sometimes very good at deceiving themselves, for example, showing that everyone knows that the bank may not really be able to come up with that much money to pay everyone.

But they are willing to line up to believe that at least by their own time, there will still be money in the bank, and what is more interesting is that they will spontaneously maintain order.

A low-key and luxurious motorcade passed by. The Prime Minister had been looking at the people queuing up to withdraw money on the roadside without any expression on his face.

In fact, he was the one responsible for the run.

If a politician of the level of a country's Prime Minister had not promoted this matter, simply relying on rumors and the like would not be able to promote the progress of this matter.

Just when the situation was brewing, the Seventh Police Department, known as the "empire's running dogs", was able to arrest almost everyone who could spread such rumors.

Gefra is not a federation, and there is no freedom or equality. It is not uncommon for people to disappear completely after being caught by the secret police. Almost everyone has heard of it.

Someone allowed this rumor to spread, and some nobles even used force behind the scenes to make everything deteriorate so quickly.

At this time, when the Prime Minister feels the changes in this country, he feels a little guilty in his heart, but only a little bit.

This is to obtain the capital to compete with the imperial power, and for greater justice, he must make a difficult choice.

After thinking about it this way, it seemed that I had thought about it and the slight feeling of guilt disappeared.

Short-term disruptions to the economic order were more acceptable than an emperor trying to seize greater power.

He withdrew his gaze from outside the car and began to consider the next changes.

On the third day, things finally took a turn for the better.

"I plan to completely liberalize the state treasury and calm this turmoil."

In the ruler's hall, His Majesty the Emperor's words made the Prime Minister, whose eyes were half-closed as if he was not awake, slowly open his eyes.

He looked at His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the steps, then at the gloomy Finance Minister not far away, and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, although I very much support your idea, it is not a suitable choice to use funds from the treasury to deal with the run."

"We are not sure how much money this will cost in total to solve the problem, and we also need some money as a guarantee for national security. We don't have much money to spend."

The speaker was the Minister of Defense, his expression serious.

Maintaining the normal operation of a country is not a simple matter. It involves many issues. The most critical point is that there must be money in the national treasury.

Whether it is implementing a certain policy, promoting a reform, or paying salaries, subsidies, and pensions to Amelia's officers, everything is inseparable from money.

It is easy to withdraw money from the national treasury, but once a problem occurs and a large amount of money is needed and the national treasury cannot withdraw it, the problem will become larger.

Bank runs can indeed trigger continued economic turmoil in a country, but that's about it.

Gefra is a monarchy and can use coercive measures when necessary.

But the treasury is out of money, and what may be in turmoil is national security, and even the power in the hands of the rulers!
