Long ago, Mr. Truman asked Lynch a question—how to make the Galier currency instantly lose its value.

During the diplomatic establishment between the Federation and Nagariel, Nagariel once proposed a plan, which was to peg the Galier exchange rate to Federation Sol, fluctuating with its exchange rate.

No one knows who gave the Nagariel people this utterly foolish suggestion, it is unimaginable to be feasible. If implemented according to their idea, by anchoring a constant exchange rate, the Nagariel people could just crazily print money to achieve nationwide wealth.

Conversely, the Federation would be dragged into an abyss with no chance of climbing out, and this is absolutely unacceptable.

However, at the time, Lynch proposed another opinion. He didn't directly deny but recognized Nagariel's request with a condition—that the printing of Galier currency be managed by the Federation.

This time it was Nagariel who did not agree. If the currency printing were handed to the Federation, then pegging Galier to Sol would be worthless, for the control over currency issuance and printing rights would be in others' hands, allowing them to reverse control over Nagariel's economic lifeline.

Though this exchange condition was not realized, it provided Mr. Truman, the President, all representatives, and people from the six major banks with a potential goal.

With Lynch speaking of "economic construction" and "financial plundering" warfare modes in various venues, thus during a discussion Lynch also participated in, a plan was made—to thoroughly eliminate Galier currency from the international financial environment.

Therefore, Mr. Truman asked Lynch at the time, how to make the Galier autonomous currency issued by another country lose its value swiftly.

Back then, Lynch gave two ideas, the first was a monetary competition system, allowing Federation Sol to be agreed upon as a legal and statutory circulating currency in their country.

With the strong presence of Federation Sol in the international market, and the increasing number of Federation employers within Nagariel, people would soon naturally phase out Galier, switching to Federation Sol.

This process lacks a gunpowder smell, everything happening naturally, following a rule—this is the people's own choice.

No confrontation, no opposition, naturally phasing out, even the central government of the Nagariel United Kingdom would find no fault with the Federation.

However, this plan had an issue, the time span was too long, possibly taking several years or more for Galier to exit the historical stage, potentially leaving traces.

This method was not favored by people attending that meeting, time is money, several years means countless money, they were not willing to waste that much time and money.

Thus came the second scheme.

"Then let this country perish nominally…"

This was Lynch's answer then, even now, the thought might still make some people break into a cold sweat!

"If every region, province of the Nagariel United Kingdom declares independence and proclaims Galier as illegal currency, using only Federation Sol as legal currency, then throughout the Nagariel region, only a few places, even just one place, will continue to use Galier."

"At this time, we then help their people overthrow their decadent regime, bringing newborn and change to the entire country, making Galier instantly become history!"

People back then looked at Lynch speaking eloquently with a smile, and only one word floated in their hearts, that was "Demon."

He resembled a demon, chilling to the bone, yet one cannot deny his plan was good, so good that it went through secret meetings almost without much obstruction.

But before this, a complete plan was needed to solve some peripheral issues, such as firstly using Federation Sol to erode the entire Nagariel currency market, giving people a stable transition period, instead of suddenly telling them a dreadful news that their currency was worthless.

Give people a chance, an adaptation period, let them feel and personally participate in this matter, so that when Galier is eliminated, it won't cause huge problems at the societal grassroots.

Secondly, give the ruling class willing to stand with the Federation a chance, allow them to convert their Galier into Federation Sol, ensuring at least more than half of Nagariel's ruling class won't suffer losses in subsequent actions, nor force them to align with the royal family.

Lastly, the Federation must shift the losses, for appeasing the ordinary citizens holding Galier and those local ruling classes holding large amounts of Galier—after the privileged class had nearly been completely purged in another plan, saving the Federation a vast sum.

When the interests at the societal grassroots and mid-upper tiers are safeguarded, the Federation has actually suffered losses, but it doesn't matter, the Federation has ways to shift the loss, elevating Galier's currency exchange rate is the best method.

Bring in worldwide speculators to join this from-the-start trap, a game of playing hot potato, allowing the Federation to easily shift the losses out.

Meanwhile, some international spontaneous exchange actions wouldn't affect the Federation's currency market, they are just spontaneous actions of others, the currency meant to circulate is still circulating, the losses supposedly received have nothing to do with the Federation.

When everything was ready, the general offensive began!

On the second day of Provincial Governor Drag announcing his province's independence, two more provinces declared independence from the Nagariel United Kingdom, pushing for "de-Nagariel United Kingdomization" of all residuals at once.

They denied the central government's regime legitimacy, presenting historical records, notes, files, to the international society to prove the legitimacy and rationality of their independence announcement.

Examples from these files show these provinces were originally regions governed by major clan rulers, yet later joined the United Kingdom due to various reasons.

Now, they are merely correcting past mistakes, separating from the United Kingdom.

Given they are no longer a part of the United Kingdom, Galier, issued by the central government, is naturally no longer recognized, discarding such currency across the province, temporarily using Federation Sol as the only legal currency.

Upon the announcement of these contents, Galier instantly plummeted by over thirty percent, it can be said that at this moment, this money is almost welded into all holders' hands.

Although some think the Federation Government and United Development Company still hold large amounts of Galier, they would not really disregard seeing these currencies turn into waste paper, but the ensuing actions by the Federation Government made people truly realize, Galier has no future.

On the morning of the fourth day post-event, the Federation Government's international news office held a press conference expressing opinions on some current issues within the Nagariel United Kingdom, unexpectedly hosted by Mr. Truman himself.

Actually, this was quite normal, after all, Mr. Truman is still the first chief of the International Affairs/Policy Research Office, the events unfolding in Nagariel considerably coincide with his work, his hosting the press conference as the presenter and spokesman was no surprise.

"Thank you all for attending this press conference, what we announce today is rather serious, I'll directly address the main topic…"

Mr. Truman glanced at the manuscript in his hand, speaking in a slightly heavy voice, "Five days ago, in our friendly neighbor, the Nagariel United Kingdom, a horrendous event occurred, some civilian demonstrators expressed dissatisfaction outside the Royal Palace, were later dispersed and attacked by the royal troops."

"Currently, over eighty-three people have died, among them twelve died due to excessive injuries, besides more than one thousand have been injured."

"Post-tragedy, the Nagariel royal family did not immediately disclose the incident's specifics and subsequent solution approach. We learned of a shocking piece of information from some survivors, that the royal family still arresting participants seen at the Royal Palace protest that day."

"Consequently, some regional leaders, due to dissatisfaction with royal tyranny, declared their independence from the United Kingdom."

"As a good friend of the Nagariel United Kingdom, we federally should offer certain assistance when in trouble, but some problems are beyond what we can do."

"Bail Federal has always been a country upholding the spirit of freedom, pursuing equality and justice, valuing each citizen's dignity, social rights, we dare not and will not trample on the legitimate rights of the people."

"Therefore, we will not aid the central government of the Nagariel United Kingdom in suppressing the populace through military or political actions."

"Everyone's life is precious, here we urge the King of the Nagariel United Kingdom and rulers of the central government to lay down arms and violence, resolve disputes through amicable equal consultation and negotiation."

"Meanwhile, we must inform all Nagariel citizens and rulers, our government immensely cares for the citizens' life and property safety abroad, any act daring to violate, harm our overseas citizens' life and property safety, we do not guarantee refraining from using force to seek resolution!"

Upon reaching this point, Mr. Truman paused momentarily, setting down the manuscript in hand, "Everyone, feel free to ask questions!"
