Every one of these Western Continent countries had its own little calculations, with most eyes fixed on the weapons.
As for putting the Xia Currency on the Gold Standard? They could not be bothered. The Mairui Dollar had been fleecing the world for more than a wave or two. Everyone had to acknowledge its strength, but being grateful to the Mairui Dollar? That was complete nonsense.
