  Chapter 455 Feng Shui Turns

  The generosity of the Golden Dragon Tyrann King surprised even Luke. Although fire crystals are of no use to giant dragons, they must know what fire crystals mean to the secular world.

  It is the blood of industrialization. Without fire crystals, cities will have no power supply, factories will not be able to produce, trains and ships will stop running, and the civilization of the entire secular world will go back to the age of swords and magic.

  Now with the high development of industry, the demand for fire crystals in all industrial countries has increased exponentially. And Dragon Kingdom has attracted many countries to send people to negotiate because of its huge reserves of fire crystal ore.

  However, the reclusive Dragon Clan has completely closed off contact with the outside world, and does not accept any form of fire crystal transactions.

  Delicious beef can be exchanged for the right to mine fire crystals?

  Luke is in disbelief.

  The only thing that can be explained is... Dragon Soul Banat's face is big enough, and the Dragon Race feels the pressure, and they don't know where the pressure comes from.

  Using trade as an excuse to show favor to a powerful country in the secular world with fire crystals that are of no value to the Dragon Kingdom, it is hard to say who took advantage of this transaction.

   Everyone gets what they need, and everyone is happy!

  Having figured out King Tyron's intentions, Luke no longer feels guilty about digging up the Fire Crystal.

   "Deal! I will notify Raging City as soon as possible, select the best quality beef and send it to the Dragon Kingdom. The Imperial Palace will send the best royal chefs to cook delicacies for the dragons."

  Golden Dragon King Tai Lun nodded and said: "I probably know how to deal with you humans. This is the end of today's meeting, and we all need to prepare for the next meeting.

  By the way... Black Dragon Bale is taken away by you, accept the punishment he deserves. "

  The words of the Golden Dragon King Tai Lun once again surprised everyone, including the giant dragons.

  Luke didn't even think about taking the black dragon away. Although there is a demon tyrant as a lesson from the past, but the demon tyrant is a loner, so it is okay to bully him. But behind the black dragon Bale is the entire Dragon Clan, arresting him to serve his sentence, although it can greatly boost the spirit of Shenglun City, but it will greatly sweep down the face of the Dragon Clan.

  The black dragon, which was resting and recovering from its injuries, stretched out its head from under its wings. He asked the Tyrann king in confusion, "My king, do you really want me to be insulted by these lowly creatures?"

The Golden Dragon King Tai Lun said: "If you think this is an insult, take this experience as an experience. Use your eyes to see this different world outside, where the lower creatures that we despise make rules here, and take it as an exercise. Ability to guard the rules.

  Since we cannot break the rules, we must abide by them.

  Seven years is just a short period of time for a dragon, but for you, it may completely change your future destiny.

  I believe that the Marquis of Meteorite will not really take a black dragon as a prisoner. "

  Luke met the gaze of the golden dragon King Tyrannos, and replied: "Of course, it is really too wasteful to lock up a black dragon!"

  The black dragon Balie respects the golden dragon King Tai Lun very much. Even though he is unwilling, he still nods in agreement: "The black dragon Balie obeys your orders."

  Luke took Agatha to salute the Golden Dragon Tyrann King: "We have received the kindness from the Dragon Clan, and we will definitely return it with kindness. The empire will arrange a formal meeting with the Dragon Clan as soon as possible. May the friendship between the Dragon Clan and the Golden Shield Empire be strong and long-lasting."

  The golden dragon King Tailun led the group of dragons to salute Luke and Agatha, and the black dragon Bale jumped down from the high base. The physique of the Dragon Clan is really strong, and the Black Dragon, who was just weakened by the magic bombardment, can't see any serious problems from its actions now.

  Luke and Agatha lead the team out of the steel mill.

  The city garrison regiment received the order, the combat readiness was lifted, and all units returned to the station.

  The convoy escorted the walking black dragon Bale back to the city of St. Lun.

  In this incident, except for the cronies who followed Luke and Agatha into the steel factory, outsiders don't know what really happened inside.

   They can only believe what they see.

  Princess Agatha and Marquis Meteor, governor of Raging City, bravely broke into the steel factory occupied by giant dragons. Soon there was a high-intensity magical confrontation in the steel factory. The dragons hovered in the air and manipulated the fire clouds to bomb downwards. The city guards outside the steel factory pressed forward as a whole, and an all-out war between humans and dragons was imminent.

  However, to everyone's surprise, the eldest princess Agatha and the governor of Raging City, Marquis Meteor, came out of the dragon's nest unscathed.

  Although I don't know what kind of confrontation happened inside, it is not difficult to guess the final result from the **** of a black dragon.

  Since flying to Shenglun City, the giant dragons who have been domineering and domineering have been overwhelmed. They handed over the culprit who caused the death and promised not to do anything that threatened the safety of ordinary citizens.

   This made the citizens who had been troubled by the dragon feel elated.

  First, Miss Skylight defeated the angel over the palace.

  The eldest princess and the meteorite governor bravely rushed into the dragon's nest and made the dragon bow its head.

  The national prestige is so strong, it greatly boosts the hearts and morale of the people.

  The city of St. Lun has regained its former prosperity. Now, when the citizens see the giant dragon flying over the city, they have no fear at all. Instead, they admire the majestic appearance of the dragon with full of pride.

  The meteorite returned to the imperial capital, and once it came, it completely took care of the dragon, and all the undercurrents that had surged up in the imperial court were lurking again.

  Now, the empire's ruling hierarchy headed by the Empress Jianguo, with the Eldest Princess Agatha and the governor of Raging Waves City, Marquis Meteor, as the core, is no longer something that can be easily overthrown by internal factors in the palace.

  The officials and nobles whose interests have been damaged can only rely on the second prince Fania, the emperor's grandson Sinclair, and the ancient civilizations that frequently change.

  The secret agents of the Imperial Bureau of Secrets lurking in the Templars discovered that an unknown person had donated a large sum of money, and the Templars had officially changed their name to the Templars. At the same time, the angels in Silver Manor received several leaders of the Knights Templar and issued some strange tasks.

  For example: After the elder of the Shuojin people was attacked and killed, what special things happened in the city of Shenglun. Regardless of the size of the matter, as long as there are unusual incidents, they will be collected and reported to Silver Manor.

   There is also the St. Lun City Branch of the World Bank. According to intelligence, a group of Shuojin people arrived quietly; according to other intelligence, some officials met with Shuojin people in private, but they didn't know what they talked about.

  In the palace, Queen Christina, Princess Agatha and Luke sat together and had a small meeting.

   "The court seems to be stable now, but some people are actually ready to make a last-ditch effort. If they don't move, they may never have another chance."

  Even though Queen Christina has never been out of the palace, she has her own judgment on the potential crisis in the palace.

  Agatha said: "Before the Spring War started, many people were waiting for the Snow Army to be defeated by the Yate County United, so that they could take the opportunity to launch a coup and welcome Alec or Sinclair back to the imperial capital.

   Now the trend of the Northern War has completely overturned their predictions, and the snow army did not let the Art County United take any advantage. With the Raging City fleet gaining command of the sea, the Northern War is gradually developing in a direction that is beneficial to the Empire.

  At this time, we should not take the enemies inside the court lightly. We must prevent them from retaliating and destroying. The damage caused by venting is often greater than the real coup.

  The World Bank has recently canceled many cooperative projects, some of which are secret research and development projects carried out by the empire through private financing, and the World Bank can accurately find them, indicating that someone has informed..."

  The World Bank suddenly targeted the empire, obviously aiming at the meteorite.

  Queen Christina and Agatha waited for Luke to speak, but Luke's mind was obviously not here. He stared at the pendulum of the clock beside him, where did his thoughts go?

   "Meteor..." Agatha whispered Luke's name, seeing that he still didn't respond, she patted his hand on the armrest of the sofa.

   "Oh!" Luke came back to his senses and asked, "Where did you talk about?"

   "Let's talk about the World Bank's cancellation of cooperation projects..." Agatha said with concern: "There are indeed a lot of things recently. If you are tired, go back and rest first."

  Luke moved his body and said, "No, I'm not tired. I'm just thinking about how to make good use of this relationship with the Dragon Clan.

  Let's move on to the World Bank.

First of all, we need to make it clear that although the Shuojin people have always stated that they do not interfere in politics, the World Bank can affect the direction of many events even if they do nothing, not to mention that they have secretly done many things that violate their own principles. .

   Then, the World Bank is the biggest obstacle to the empire's future strategic layout of the world economy. As long as the gold and silver certificates issued by the World Bank are freely circulated currencies recognized by the world, the World Bank can launch comprehensive economic sanctions against the empire at any time. Although this level of economic sanctions will seriously shake the credibility of the World Bank, the Shuojin people dare not launch it easily now, but as long as the interests involved are sufficient, the Shuojin people will launch it without hesitation. "

  After Luke's reminder, Queen Christina and Agatha finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

  For a long time, the World Bank, with its good credit and absolute neutrality, has made gold certificates and silver certificates the world currency. This impression is imprinted in everyone's heart, and it is taken for granted that it is even unquestionable.

  But with the revival of ancient civilizations, the Shuojin people have become less principled.

   Terminating part of the cooperation is a bad start, even if the Shuojin people give legitimate reasons.

  If the empire threatens the safety of the Shuojin people, will they force all countries in the world to ban transactions with the empire?

  This kind of strategy is to hurt the enemy by eight hundred and self-defeat one thousand. Although the credit of the World Bank has collapsed as a whole, it is still unknown whether the empire can survive.

  In this case, you cannot expect the other party to be moral and principled, let alone bet that the other party dare not do it.

  So... This time it is not a personal grievance, but a game of national destiny that is related to the survival of the empire.

   "What should the empire do?"

  Queen Christina has great confidence in Luke.

  Luke said: "Improve the international status of the Reichsmark, encourage merchants to use the Reichsmark for international trade through preferential policies; establish a free economic and trade zone centered on the Empire, and the currencies of the member countries of the trade zone can be freely exchanged and used.

  As long as these two points are done well, the empire can create an economic barrier. Even if the World Bank initiates sweeping sanctions, the empire can use this barrier to take on the World Bank.

   And if you want to win completely, you need to transition the world trading system from the gold standard to the energy standard. "

  Queen Christina and Agatha stared at Luke with staring eyes. It can be seen from their expressions that they basically didn't understand.

Luke had no choice but to explain: "The reason why gold coupons become the world's currency is that one factor is the credit of the World Bank and the Shuojin people, and the other factor is that the Shuojin people hold the most gold mines with the largest reserves. A gold coupon can be taken anywhere in the world at any time." The bank converts a unit of gold. As long as the status of gold as a general equivalent is not shaken, the status of the World Bank will be difficult to shake.

  The only thing that can shake the status of gold in the future is energy. Fire crystal is an energy body that has been found to be easy to mine and use. It is now widely used in various fields, and the world's demand for fire crystal will increase in the future.

   Importantly... Fire Crystal is a consumable! Buy it when you run out!

  Whoever can stipulate what Huojing buys with, will be qualified to replace the World Bank. "

  Queen Christina and Agatha understood this time.

  In fact, when countries began to abolish metal currencies, the disadvantages of precious metals as currencies are no longer acceptable, but the inertia of thinking still makes people like to use gold to measure value.

  People are used to using gold coupons, but there are not many people who take gold coupons to the World Bank to exchange for gold. After all, apart from being used for luxury goods, gold is not consumed much in other places.

  The consumption of energy by industrialization has caused the status of Huojing, which was originally not very valuable, to rise rapidly. Not all countries have fire crystal mines, and if there are fire crystal mines, it may not be enough. If there is not enough fire crystal mines, you have to buy them.

  Currently the fire crystal ore transactions in the international market all use gold coupons. If at this time, the largest supplier of fire crystal mines in the international market said: My fire crystal mines only accept the currency of the Golden Shield Empire.

  Countries that need fire crystal mines must trade with the empire in exchange for imperial marks, and then buy fire crystal mines.

  Fire crystal ore is a rigid demand. The higher the industrialization, the better the economy will be and the more dependent it will be on fire crystal ore. At that time, the World Bank wanted to impose an economic blockade on the Golden Shield Empire, and countries that needed fire crystal mines would not do so first.

  And what's so good about gold coupons?

  The circulation of gold in the international market is so low, how can there be fire crystals, which are burned every day and used every day.

  The Shining Gold people do not have the world's largest reserves of fire crystals, and the place with the most fire crystals is in the Dragon Kingdom. There is not yet a fire crystal mine on the territory of Dragon Kingdom, but there will be one soon.

  Agatha asked Luke: "Has the boat from Raging City to Dragon Kingdom left?"

Luke said with a smile: "It's already gone, carrying a full boat of frozen beef and mining equipment. The Golden Dragon Tyronn King also sent three giant dragons to lead the fleet to ensure that the fleet can reach the Dragon Kingdom smoothly, and in the Territory of the Tyronn King Mining fire crystal ore."

  Queen Christina asked: "When will you meet King Tyrone again? The Empire needs to deepen cooperation with the Dragon Kingdom. It is best to reach a comprehensive strategic alliance with the Fire Crystal Mine."

   "I'm preparing. I'm sure the dragons would love to see the Glitterkin deflated."

   It's really Feng Shui turns!
