The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2447 Hari Seldon Reform (Part )

2449: Hari Seldon Reform (Part )

At the same time, in order to ensure the value retention of neutron steel, Hari Seldon will also set up a special department to symbolically store and maintain neutron steel.

The currency management department will establish a semi-public storage point in the Monsua Nebula, where 10 billion tons of neutron steel will be stored, which will be used exclusively for the preservation of the new currency. Some individuals and third-party institutions that have been reviewed and have sufficient qualifications can be invited to visit here and ensure the reserves of neutron steel.

In short, with the guarantee of the Dawn Kingdom’s military, as long as the reserves of neutron steel are sufficient, the Dawn Kingdom can issue currency almost unlimitedly.

In addition, the currency management department will also disclose part of the molecular structure of neutron steel and the detailed density of neutron steel, which ensures that the authenticity of neutron steel can be determined by the simplest weighing method. At the same time, some of the physical properties of neutron steel are also announced, such as the fact that it can be burned for a long time at a high temperature of 100000℃ without deformation and will not react in strong acid.

This series of relatively simple detection methods also provides a very intuitive way to determine authenticity. Regardless of whether the coin you take out is neutron steel or not, if you can really make it have these physical properties, then you are awesome and you have succeeded in making a fake coin. As for the cost, that is not guaranteed.

The currency management department also issued neutron steel ingots weighing 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 5 kg, and 10 kg, with the publicly available molecular structure of neutron steel, the national emblem of the Kingdom of Dawn, and a unique anti-counterfeiting code etched on the ingots. Each neutron steel ingot has an independent anti-counterfeiting code.

Apart from anything else, the mere fact that one can etch such a pattern on neutron steel is an extremely terrifying technology.

The spokesperson of the Kingdom of Dawn also joked at the press conference, "If you can buy enough neutron steel ingots to surround your spaceship, then congratulations, your spaceship's protection capability has reached the level of the Kingdom of Dawn's naval warships!"

At the same time, this is also a naked show-off.

Anyway, the neutron steel ingots are here, and we use them as money, and they are also the components of our warship armor. The stuff is here, Galactic Empire, you can slowly reverse engineer, analyze, deconstruct, and find a way to fight back.

Even not just the Galactic Empire, other forces would also carefully consider the terrible industrial and technological strength behind this heavy ingot after they got it. Think about the shell of their own spaceship that can be dug out with a knife, and at this time, if someone asked them to harm the Kingdom of Dawn, they would know how to choose.

……

This new monetary policy reform is also a very important turning point for the Kingdom of Dawn. It marks that the Kingdom of Dawn's economy has further demarcated itself from the Galactic Empire, which represents the dominant position in the Milky Way, and is moving towards complete independence.

From then on, the two sides not only confronted each other militarily, but also confronted each other economically. Because in the past, no matter how the currency changed, both sides still used the same standard material, which was equivalent to the currency of both sides being interchangeable. But now, even the standard of the currency of both sides is different. Interchangeability? It is impossible! This is a life-and-death ending.

In fact, this also shows that the Kingdom of Dawn’s domestic industrial, agricultural and civilian production no longer needs the Galactic Empire, and they can meet all domestic needs by themselves.

So on this basis, Hari Seldon's currency reform also included a series of more foreign initiatives.

For example, the Kingdom of Dawn will announce that it will no longer officially hold Galactic Empire credit points as foreign exchange, and all foreign trade settlements in the kingdom will be forced to use the Kingdom of Dawn's own currency No. 4.

At the same time, in the Kingdom of Dawn, the Galactic Empire's credit points will be completely disowned after one year. In other words, residents have one year to exchange their credit points for the fourth currency. The Kingdom of Dawn will not recognize any property losses caused after this time. In addition, the Kingdom of Dawn will impose high tariffs on all products of the Galactic Empire, basically hitting the trade with the Galactic Empire to death. And this has another potential benefit, which is that it can also force the rebel organizations to take sides.

Because of the decoupling of currency and economy, it will become difficult for the rebel organizations in the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire to support and communicate with each other. Either you continue to recognize the Galactic Empire's currency, or you hold your nose and recognize the Dawn Kingdom's currency No. 4. If you recognize the No. 4 currency, it means that you recognize the economic policy of the Kingdom of Dawn, which will not only be a blow to their beliefs and spirit, but also the activities of these rebels will gradually be exposed.

……

After finalizing the two major reforms of the Kingdom of Dawn's military and economy, Tang Xiao finally had to solve a huge problem for him, which was also a failure in a sense...

The number one general in the galaxy, the invincible super commander...

Severance Tann.

This is a failure, without a doubt.

After traveling through time and determining his goal of dominating the galaxy, Tang Xiao understood that he would face a formidable opponent—Grand Marshal Thrawn!

In the original plot, Grand Admiral Thrawn is the real invincible super general in the galaxy, a real soldier and marshal. He has unparalleled personal charm, unparalleled strategic and tactical thinking, and imaginative command art.

No one could fully understand his combat mode, and he never commanded two battles in the same way.

What he has is always the ability to adapt to circumstances and circumstances, but every choice he makes can hit the enemy's weak points!

It can be said that if he had not been assassinated by his own bodyguard in the original plot, he would have been almost invincible. Even the assassination of his bodyguard was actually just a hidden accident. Otherwise, with Thrawn's caution, he would never have used such a bodyguard with questionable loyalty.

For Tang Xiao, defeating Darth Sidious is his biggest goal, but this is only his personal goal. If he cannot defeat Darth Sidious, then the worst that can happen is death. After death, everything will be over and he won't have to worry about anything.

However, for the Kingdom of Dawn, Grand Admiral Thrawn, who is highly consistent with the Galactic Empire's ideas and will basically only join the Galactic Empire, is an insurmountable hurdle.

Tang Xiao was very sure that Severance Tann was no match for Thrawn.

Whether it is the trend in the original plot where she was defeated by Shen-Jon in both personal combat and military combat, or through the analysis and judgment of her as a person, it is easy to reach this conclusion - if Tann confronts Thrawn, she is destined to be just a background board.

Tann, who is arrogant and conceited, has no respect for her enemies or her comrades. She is emotional and will do anything to achieve her goals, but once she encounters setbacks, her thinking will be greatly flawed, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

The reason why Shen-Qiong was able to defeat Tann in the plot was that he disrupted her peaceful mind, causing her to reveal a flaw, and thus defeated her in one fell swoop.

And the battle in the plot ultimately cost Tann his life.
