5301 Great Age Crisis in England
"Fisher... Do you know that the essence of war from ancient times to the present is to get benefits, not lose benefits, and the war that loses money cannot be fought!"
"What kind of civilization is our British? You don't have to turn around when talking behind closed doors. It's a pirate civilization. The royal family is the descendant of William the conqueror. We have the blood of Viking pirates in our bodies!"
"In all of us, including you and me, we actually have the bloodline of Viking Pirates, more or less!"
"Do you know why we can create an empire that never sets? Why do we firmly control the sea rights of the earth? Because it was our ancestors who did this!"
"As you said, this damn war may cost more than 50 million pounds of military expenses. I can do everything possible to raise it, but you have to repay the UK after the war!"
"After the war is over, how can you calm down the opposition forces in China? What else can you do besides interests?"
"So your strategic tasks are one of victory and the other is to loot the loot!"
Benjamin knocked the table with his pipe. "Our intelligence network has smelled many secrets of the Chinese people... Do you know how much gold reserves Xiao Lotte has? This is a top-secret number, and we don't know at all!"
"But I know that Xiao Letian has a special treasure island on the Tianping Ocean, and that is his vault! If you want to find it, you must find it and bring back these golden spoils!"
"The gold and silver in the treasury are trophy, and the people can also get all kinds of property... Don't always want to blow up everything, it's easy to destroy it, but if you destroy this wealth, what can I use to bribe these greedy ghosts in the country?"
"There are also the Chinese industrial equipment... I thought about it... It's better to destroy it to a limit! After we turn back and occupy it, we can continue to produce after a little repair!"
"The Chinese people's steel, petroleum, chemical industry, textile, machinery, military industry... all kinds of light and heavy industries... I... I want to reward the capitalists of the British Empire!"
"The ultimate goal of those who give us support is to get back more interest...or why do they support one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of pounds in the election? If we can't give them benefits, they will stab us immediately!"
"And our enemies, those opposition parties, also need bribes, give them some Chinese industries, so that they can easily start work and make money, so that they will not interfere in the future and oppose us!"
"We will occupy and confiscate these light and heavy industries of the Chinese people and sell them at a cheap price... These people can start construction immediately if they have a little repair and make money immediately!"
"This... these chickens that lay golden eggs... are you going to slaughter them? This will inflict public anger!"
Fisher's face turned red and wanted to refute it on the spot, but Benjamin raised his hand to stop him, "Let me finish...I haven't talked to anyone in my heart for a long time..."
"Your expedition is related to the success or failure of our career. I must tell you some truth and some truth. I may not tell you these words in the future..."
"I have several other considerations to keep these Chinese factories and enterprises. The first is the economic transformation issue of the British Empire!"
"Maybe in your eyes, the British Empire is still at its peak, but is it really the case? There are crises in the prosperous era. Our current economic model is problematic and has hidden dangers!"
"We continue to pull raw materials from the colonies, produce them in the UK, and then sell the goods to the world at high prices, especially in the colonies..."
"Can this model really last forever? You have to know that resources will last for a day, and the purchasing power of the colony will also last for a day!"
"And this ultra-long-distance shipping has also increased the cost of our British Empire products! Now in the international market, Germany's heavy industrial products have begun to soar in sales, and our entrepreneurs have already felt the pressure!"
"What should we do? How do you think we will transform?"
"There is only one way to transfer the production center and bring the production enterprises closer to the raw material base and market... How much freight can we save? Have you ever thought about it?"
"And how much does it cost to build a factory in a colony? The people there are all slaves, and they can work without paying money, and they can use whips to whip!"
"We opened factories in the colonies to make some wages for the locals, and then they would have income to buy our goods? This is a win-win situation!"
"If this continues, Germany, France, and the United States will not be able to compete with us, and the crisis of the British Empire's prosperity will be lifted!"
"But it is very difficult to get these people who keep the rules to take the first step. They have concerns. They are afraid of investment and they are afraid of losing money!"
"Now, let's grab the factory built by the Chinese... and let's grab it! Wouldn't it be solved if you grab it?"
"They auctioned off the ready-made factory, and they can put it into production after a little repair, and then the products they produce will be sold directly in East Asia!"
"Raw materials are also raised locally from East Asia... What a great business, won't we just bring the money back to China in the end?"
"But you always think that it's all fried. It's all money! You can't blow it up..."
Benjamin opened the window and let the cold wind blow in a little bit "There is another question I have to think about... How far has Xiao Letian's current technological breakthrough?"
"It's not possible to rely solely on the descriptions of those intelligence personnel... Why does Xiao Letian insist on developing that oil industry? Will he really replace coal in the future?"
"To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to believe it, but as a politician's intuition, I still have to contact you. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one. What if the Chinese bet right?"
"There are many secrets in the Chinese factory. We must keep them and crack them a little bit... What exactly is that black fart car like? Is it really as unbearable as our intelligence department described?"
"There have always been some rumors in Naha, saying that Xiao Letian has cracked many difficult and complicated diseases. Could it be that the Chinese people have surpassed us in the field of medicine?"
"Fisher! You blow everything up and cut off all clues... You can't do this! Britain also needs technology, keeping the most advanced technology to make our mission!"
"The emergence of the Zhiyuan has already made the British Empire lose face. Wouldn't our Royal Navy blush?"
"The standards of the Navy are actually set by the Chinese? Fisher, please think carefully..."
Fisher clenched his fists, "But...but these heavy industries are the roots of the Chinese! If the grass is cut and the roots are not eliminated, the potential for war is not nullified... there will be accidents!"
"No, no, no..." Benjamin patted his shoulder confidently. "I believe the Royal Navy is invincible! Have you even lost your confidence?"
"Take out the courage from the Crimean War and kill these damn Chinese!"
