Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1282

Chapter 1282: 506 Chapter 1282: 506 The United States of America had formed a very powerful army, but due to the US Forces' previous publicity and performance, everyone believed that The United States was a force for justice, a critical power maintaining world peace. However, when The United States found itself severely damaged and in urgent need of regaining its strength, they immediately ripped off their disguise and started launching wars against other countries with tremendous martial force to gain huge economic benefits.

By this time, the entire world finally recognized the true face of The United States; it turned out that The United States had been the deepest hidden Big Boss, also the most terrifying one. Their army was not just for show; it was indeed a weapon that could kill.

The United States' previous strategy was to avoid war with major powers; their targets were only countries with weaker strength. Also, due to domestic pressure, the US continued to pursue zero casualties in its wars abroad, always conducting military flag deduction before engaging in wars to ensure they would not get bogged down in wars leading to massive casualties.

But this time, The United States clearly had no such concerns anymore. They discarded the previous limitations on US Forces casualties, bluntly initiating a war against Venezuela to revitalize The United States. To achieve this, they took an all-in approach, fearlessly plunging into the maelstrom of a military conflict with the Venezuelan people. This also proved from another angle that the national power of The United States was rapidly declining; they could no longer care as much.

The former President of The United States had just issued a declaration of war, and an elite US Army of two hundred thousand troops could hardly wait as they launched an intense attack on Venezuela from sea, land, and air. Although the US Forces crumbled when facing Dream Island, in reality, they still remained one of the most formidable armies on the planet. With all guns blazing when facing the Venezuelan army, they showed extraordinary bravery, causing the Venezuelan army to retreat step by step, and the entire war turned into an extremely asymmetric crushing operation…

While the world's attention was drawn to The United States' sudden attack on Venezuela, Dream Island quietly launched the exclusive currency Dream Coin in the North Pacific. The issuer of Dream Coin was Dream Bank, and immediately upon its release, it brought a huge shock to the whole world because Dream Coin was equated with gold. As long as one held Dream Coin, they could exchange it for gold of equivalent value at Dream Bank at any time.

At first, no one believed that Dream Coin could really be freely exchanged for gold, after all, the total amount of world gold lagged far behind the scale of the global economy, and gold could not be directly equated with currency. It seemed that Dream Island was using this gimmick to promote its Dream Coin.

Lu Pingping had anticipated this problem early on, and she made a grand gesture by inviting journalists from all over the world to visit Dream Island for a collective tour of the massive underground gold vault on Dream Island. Inside this massive vault, gold bricks were stacked neatly like a mountain. During the visit, Lu Pingping also randomly selected a few gold bricks for assay and found that all these pieces of gold reached the purity of 99.99% pure gold. Then Lu Pingping announced that Dream Island's gold reserves had reached 150,000 tons.

After confirming that Dream Island had 150,000 tons of gold reserves, the whole world was shocked as Dream Island's held gold was more than four times the amount held by all other countries in the world combined. Unfortunately, Lu Pingping did not disclose where this gold had come from, and this became the biggest mystery. Based on the current global gold futures prices, the total value of Dream Island's gold was worth up to 8 trillion US Dollars. However, according to Dream Island, their gold reserves would not be calculated in US Dollars; instead, its value would be marked in Dream Coins.

In Dream Island's public exchange standards, 100 Dream Coins could exchange for 1 gram of gold. No matter when, as long as one held 100 Dream Coins, they could go to Dream Bank and exchange them for 1 gram of gold with a purity of 99.99%. This exchange ratio once established would not change, representing that the value of Dream Coin and gold were completely equivalent. If the price of gold rose, Dream Coin would rise; if the price of gold fell, Dream Coin would fall. Based on this ratio, the 150,000 tons of gold on Dream Island would allow for the issuance of 15 trillion Dream Coins.

Because Dream Coin could be exchanged for gold, Dream Island used the latest anti-counterfeiting technology when issuing Dream Coin. After multiple deductions by the Auxiliary Brain Technology Analysis System, the production materials and ink for Dream Coin were unique in the world. They bore very obvious anti-counterfeit marks, making them easy for ordinary people to recognize and completely preventing counterfeiting.

The front and back designs of Dream Coin featured several famous scenic spots within China, and under unique printing materials, Dream Coins looked very beautiful. However, with mobile payments becoming more frequent nowadays, the demand for cash currency on the market had decreased, diminishing the biggest joy of circulation for these beautifully crafted Dream Coins.

Since the war between Dream Island and The United States, the prospects of the global economy had not been bright, with several major currencies in the world successively depreciating, causing countries with considerable foreign exchange reserves to suffer heavy losses due to exchange rate fluctuations. Just when everyone was helpless, suddenly there appeared a currency that could directly be tied to gold – the Dream Coin, and the whole world developed a strong interest in it. They planned to use Dream Coins as their foreign exchange reserves, to be used in international payment balances to avoid suffering from major losses due to excessive exchange rate fluctuations.
