Chapter 311 Orbia: As long as I have a whim, I can take down Altorum!
This huge military expenditure, first of all, counts logistics. The world government will directly convert the cash value of food and other materials into goods and distribute them to various naval bases. This accounts for almost 8% of the logistics expenditure. ten.
Ortorun naturally understands this, so of course he will continue to use this model. The food growing area currently developed in the Windless Zone and the subsequent artificial biotechnology just obtained from Dr. Vegapunk will all be obtained. to produce food supplies.
Secondly, there is the amount of basic salary. It is impossible for the World Government to issue cash to all navies. Instead, it has established a fund account for the navy. The central bank established by the World Government is the current issuing institution of Bailey, the "World Bank". To reserve this fund, when military expenditures are distributed every year, the world government will put this money into the navy's general account, and the navy will then settle it on its own to its armies according to the salary settlement date.
On the surface, the world government has provided sufficient military expenditures. In fact, it seems that he has only provided a bunch of data that exists within the World Bank!
This is not cash at all, so as long as the financial system of the world government does not collapse, their huge expenditure on the navy is far less terrifying than imagined.
It is impossible to say that the entire Navy will withdraw all their salaries from the World Bank at the same time.
I'm afraid no one in this world can afford such a terrifying cash flow, not even the 800-year-old World Government!
As for the procurement of warships and weapons and equipment, it is actually the same. There are very few direct transactions in cash. They are all directly conducted account transactions with the counterparty. To put it bluntly, it is still an exchange of data, not directly giving you so much cash. .
Therefore, despite the fact that the Navy's annual military expenditure is so terrifying, in fact, the actual distribution in cash is pitifully small, and this is the normal situation!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the world's government to afford a navy, and there is no force in the world that can afford a navy with cash.
Ortorun was also well aware of this situation, so he adopted the same method. Otherwise, he would be exhausted and would not be able to prepare sufficient military expenditures for the navy.
In the early days, G-5 used plunder and dividends, which meant robbing pirates to maintain the operation of the army.
However, as the size of G-5 continued to increase, this model was obviously unable to meet the development of G-5. Then, G-5 began to adopt this model of the world government to collect funds and enter G-5 The general account is then paid to the individual accounts in the hands of each navy on the salary settlement day.
However, because G-5 does not use the general ledger of the Navy Headquarters, this account does not belong to the World Bank under the World Government, but to the exchange in the Dark World.
Later, under the management of Tezzolo, this exchange gradually evolved into the New World Bank, which was very popular in the dark world. Of course, this was not the first bank not under the jurisdiction of the World Government. In fact, A long time ago, many similar banks appeared, such as Xihai, and the mafia each held its own bank.
It's just that because of the chaos in the new world, there was no one with enough 'face' to build a bank that was recognized by people in the new world. This was not solved until the emergence of Altorun. Now, , many people in the dark world, including the loan shark king Lou Field, regard the New World Bank as their first choice.
Totland Wanguo even established this bank directly as the National Bank of Totland.
The G-5 Navy's salary payment also comes from this bank. In other words, Altorun is just sending "data" to his subordinates.
But this can only allow the navy of the New World to survive relying on this financial system. With the credibility and size of the New World Bank, it is impossible to coordinate the military expenditures of the entire navy like the World Bank. .
Therefore, this is also the reason why Oltorun wants to make the Golden City bigger and stronger. There is a very important fulcrum in the Golden City plan, that is, all transaction settlements in the Golden City will be led by the New World Bank!
In other words, as the Golden City develops and attracts enough wealthy people, a large amount of funds will continue to flow through this platform into the New World Bank, which will naturally bring about a new world. Banks break through geographical limitations and spread their influence to the entire world.
Members of the Navy system must know that there is such a reliable bank and such a powerful financial institution. They must trust this bank to protect the safety of their funds and trust that the data sent to their accounts by the bank is true and valid.
Only at this point can Ortorun be considered certain to be able to afford the navy's huge military expenditures.
Because at this point, he could use the method of the world government to pay wages to the navy. Otherwise, he would not be able to bear it at all.
But if the world's government discovers this situation, it will definitely not sit still and wait for death. What is the simplest way to attack a so-called financial system and banks? It's a financial run.
Once the money you deposit in the bank cannot be cashed out, the bank's reputation will naturally go bankrupt. Once the bank's reputation goes bankrupt, it is over.
In this regard, the world's government that can legally print Bailey naturally does not need to worry. Today, there is no financial system that can launch a run on their banks.
Of course Ortolen has also considered this situation, so he needs a large amount of financial reserves, and this reserve must not be Pele!
Just kidding, the world’s government can print Pele, so what’s the point of hoarding more Pele?
So Oltorun's response to this problem is to use gold!
The Golden Land of Sky Island has a huge gold reserve. A whole city-sized gold is very terrifying. At the same time, the Golden City under the supervision of Tezzolo is also the same, and it is to continuously absorb gold from around the world. , coupled with his own ability to control the golden fruit, the future is promising.
With enough gold as a guarantee, there is no need to worry about the world government's devastating financial blow to Altorum.
Even with enough gold as a guarantee, Altorun will be able to issue their new currency based on gold in the future.
Of course, this new monetary system cannot be accomplished simply by relying on gold.
Gold is just a universal exchange medium. The core that can really make this new currency system work is that the currency you issue can actually purchase materials in the market!
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Ortorun wants to develop productivity and heavily intervene in the business system.
Even if the world government does not recognize this new currency by then, Altorun will let his 'customers' holding the new currency be able to buy things in the market. Over time, your world government will recognize it. Without recognition, there is no point.
Fortunately, based on Ortorun's repeated explorations and attempts over the years, he has basically confirmed that this world is due to its backwardness in culture, education, institutions, etc., coupled with the eight hundred years since the establishment of the World Government. In many years, they have never experienced such a financial confrontation, so in fact, the senior officials of the world government do not know much about these financial methods, and they can even be said to be very unfamiliar.
Therefore, the World Government has never noticed that Altorun has already begun to dig their foundation in these aspects.
It seems that they always thought that as long as they held Bailey's distribution rights in their hands, they would be able to control the world's economic context forever. They never considered that one day new challenging forces would appear.
With these thoughts in his mind, Ortorun was also discussing some related issues with Tezolo. However, it was still too late today, and the general situation to be explained had already been explained. Specific and more detailed arrangements still had to be made. Let’s talk in detail when we meet.
So Ortorun quickly hung up the call with Tezzolo.
He did not continue to think about any profound issues. He closed the notebook and put it on the table. He seemed too lazy to get up and go to bed to rest. He lay on the sofa and prepared to spend the night.
But just when Oltorun had faintly fallen into a drowsy sleep, the door of the room where he was resting was suddenly opened gently from the outside.
Altorun seemed to hear the movement, and opened his eyes in confusion, looked toward the door, and then froze.
Nicole Olbia, the major general of the scientific force and the leader of the scholars, was wearing a set of sexy lace pajamas. She looked at Ortolen on the sofa in surprise, as if she did not expect that this guy He didn't go to the bedroom to rest, but slept in the living room.
"What are you doing?!" Oltorun sat up from the sofa and looked at Olbia in surprise.
After hearing this voice, Olbia came back to her senses. She did not answer Altorun's question, but stepped into the room, then closed the door and locked it with a click.
Ortorun? ? ?
"The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping. Are you interested, General, in playing a game with me?" Olbia looked at Oltorun with a seductive smile on his face.
Ortorun swallowed slightly and said, "When did we become so familiar with each other?"
Ortorun was not a fool, so of course he understood what Olbia meant.
Play games...play grown-up games!
It's just that he doesn't quite understand that there is no basis for any relationship between him and Olbia, so why did he suddenly do this?
Olbia said with a smile: "Just because you are not familiar with it, you seem more calm at this time, right?"
It has nothing to do with love or anything like that, nor is it an emotional appeal. It's just her whim tonight, and this reason is enough.
After understanding Olbia's answer, Oltorun immediately stood up, walked forward, hugged Olbia and said: "Beautiful lady invites you so kindly, if I refuse again, wouldn't it look like I'm in trouble?" Not considerate and gentlemanly enough?”
