Chapter 712

All of a sudden, the three sovereign States announced that they would use the same currency and free each other from customs duties. Even people and goods could enter and leave the border freely without being inspected by the border inspectors. This kind of situation exists in the human ideal actually appeared in the human society for the first time, how can it not attract the attention?

For the three contracting countries, it is helpless to accept the plan of the Bank of Colombia. Whether it is Czechoslovakia, Poland or Hungary, the ratio of huge foreign debt to GDP has reached the point where the government can not recover. All over the world, the only one that can save them is the Bank of Columbia. As for handing over the right to issue banknotes, the three governments have to take measures, because without the credit guarantee of the Bank of Colombia, the currencies issued by the three countries are no different from waste paper.

What happened in the three backward small countries in Eastern Europe has aroused a heated discussion all over the world, especially in those countries in Eastern Europe that just left the control of the Soviet Union and fell into economic crisis, they are very concerned about the Central Bank of Eastern Europe. Just after the three countries signed the Budapest agreement on the unified market of Eastern Europe in Budapest, Bulgaria and Romania also showed strong interest in the Budapest agreement. Representatives of the central banks of the two countries took the initiative to contact the Bank of Colombia in Warsaw to discuss the issue of joining the Budapest agreement.

Mikhail is well aware that when Eastern Europe is in trouble, signing a treaty like Budapest agreement is a last resort for all countries. In order to avoid the blushing of its own business, and to make the business of CBC in Eastern Europe run for a long time, a special clause is reserved in the Budapest agreement, that is, when the governments of all countries have fully paid off their debts, they can redeem their normal rights and interests such as currency Issuance right and tariff right from CBC. The treaty was put forward by Mikhail on his own initiative. It also made the representatives of the three contracting countries more confident in Mikhail and the Bank of Colombia. But in fact, the chance that this clause can be triggered is very small. Xie liaosha and Mikhail are just using this clause to block the opposition of the three countries. If you look at the old capitalist countries like the United States and Britain, you will see that their debts will only grow so much that they will never be able to pay them back.

Debt is always a powerful weapon for international capitalists to control state power. The reason why American politics can be manipulated and controlled by big consortia is not that big consortia provide a large amount of election funds for the candidates, but that the candidates' commitment to employment, social security and even the economy in the election process all need real money and silver from the consortia, Most of the money spent by the government comes from the Treasury bonds issued by the central bank. If the big consortia do not provide credit guarantee for the government's treasury bonds, then the government will not have the money to do what it wants. This is true whether the government is established by a military coup, democratically elected, or under the dictatorship of a dictator. As long as the state power wants to exist for a long time, it cannot do without the support of capital.

The preparation of the Central Bank of Eastern Europe will take time, but since then, the Bank of Colombia has received huge returns from a large number of national debts recovered from international creditors. Because of the credit guarantee of the Bank of Colombia, and investors are generally optimistic about the unified market of the three countries, the bonds of Czechoslovakia, Poland and Hungary, which were originally defined as junk by the three major international rating agencies, have regained a stable level, which greatly improves the value of these bonds in the hands of the Bank of Colombia. In fact, the preparatory work of the Eastern European Central Bank is not complicated. We only need to transfer some staff from the Bank of Columbia. Naturally, Mikhail will be the chairman of the bank, while Jeffrey Sachs, the father of shock therapy, will be the chief economist of the Eastern European Central Bank. As for the East Euro style design, it will be open to the public of the three countries

For the sake of stabilizing prices and increasing employment rate, the Bank of Colombia has signed an energy cooperation agreement with the Eurasian natural gas group of the Soviet Union. According to this agreement, the Eurasian natural gas pipeline project will enter the territory of the three countries through Poland to provide them with stable natural gas supply. Because the Eurasian natural gas group is a foreign-funded company operating BOT (construction operation transfer) projects, the three countries did not regard the Eurasian natural gas group as a Soviet enterprise. At the same time, some Gorky group's enterprises also began to enter the three countries.

Volkswagen Group has taken a fancy to Skoda and plans to merge Skoda into a subsidiary of Volkswagen. After the merger, Skoda will become a subsidiary of Volkswagen just like Polonaise in Poland. Skoda industrial group, located in the Czech Republic, will receive a capital injection from Blackstone Group, which will provide funds to help Skoda plant upgrade equipment and peel off debts. British power companies are very interested in the three countries' electricity markets and have begun to lobby the three governments to sell their state-owned power grids and power generation enterprises. British water group also shows great interest in the three countries' water supply markets. Donia wants airports and railways in Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, Karim wants to dump more food and agricultural products here, and EVA wants it to be iridium's next market.

Golgi's subsidiaries are eager to annex the infrastructure markets of Eastern European countries. He was thinking about the problems after the collapse of the Soviet Union. At present, the independence of the three Baltic countries will be irreversible. However, after their independence, whether they can be included in the Budapest agreement is the concern of shailyusha. If the three Baltic countries can join the Budapest agreement, then even if the Soviet Union really disintegrates, But can a broader market be formed than the former Soviet Union? Although we are all sovereign countries in name, we have a unified currency and a unified central bank. From an economic point of view, this is a unified whole. For shariosha, it is much easier and much better to control the Soviet Union's original sphere of influence from an economic point of view than to control it by force and ideology. In this process, the rich energy resources of the Soviet Union will be the key to force all countries to get rid of the control of the Bank of Colombia.
