War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the choice of economic interests. Fisher only now truly understood the fundamental reason for the outbreak of this war.

After all, it is a tripartite cooperation in business. The British side feels that it is at a loss, and it is a very disadvantageous one, but this loss cannot be resolved through normal negotiations.

The industrialization of the Qing Empire was a huge cake, which could release a very large market and allow countless capitalists to make money, but the Qing Empire was too far away from Britain, and it was beyond reach!

In addition, during the First Industrial Revolution, the British model was always in Europe, while the colonies were only responsible for raw materials and dumping markets.

This model can indeed ensure the vigorous development of local manufacturing, and there is also a lot of technology that will not flow out! In other words, productivity can be firmly controlled in one's own hands.

However, this model also has a disadvantage, which is that transportation costs are high and a strong navy must be used for global protection.

It takes two or three months to transport goods from the UK to Asia. The long sea transportation in the middle is full of risks. Not to mention pirates and hostile countries, those storms are extremely dangerous.

All of this increases the cost of British goods and reduces the competitiveness of British goods!

If the world has never changed anything, and will always be in the late seventeenth century, eighteenth century, or even early nineteenth century, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Britain was the first country to complete the industrial revolution, and their products had no competitors around the world, and even if the prices were higher, they were still competitive.

But now it is the end of the 19th century, and European countries have risen and completed the first industrial revolution, and new technologies have even pushed Germany and other countries to explore unknown scientific fields.

The world has undergone tremendous changes. British goods have encountered many competitors, and the business has become increasingly difficult to do!

But European opponents are still easier to deal with. After all, everyone sells goods from Europe to the world, and everyone has the same logistics pressure.

However, the emergence of the Chinese army made Britain stunned. This is the world's first non-European and American country to complete industrialization. Their production base is in Asia, firmly controlling the Asian market, and no one in Europe can compete with them.

The Chinese people touched the British Empire's butt, and the development of technology and productivity increased rapidly. From nothing to something, from something to essence, it only took more than a decade!

With the same quality, who do you think Asian customers will buy? The freight for Chinese products is low, and the quotation is very favorable. In addition, the same language and the same species are of the same ethnicity, so Asian customers will naturally choose Chinese goods!

Many British businessmen who had no choice but to transform, and they began to invest in Chinese companies and earn money together with certain shares. Many businessmen have abandoned the old routine of doing business in the past.

Nowadays, people are traveling from Europe to Asia with goods that can be produced by the Chinese? Such people must be fools!

Light industrial products British capitalists choose to join shares with Chinese businessmen. It’s nothing to make money together, so let’s make money together!

But in the heavy industry, Britain really can't swallow this!

Because in this era, heavy industry is the nobles of all industries, the crown jewel, and the most profitable industry! It can be compared with cutting-edge industries such as chips, biopharmaceuticals, the Internet, aerospace, etc. in the 21st century.

By comparison, the huge profitability of heavy industry, especially steel and military industries at the end of the 19th century, can be seen!

The railway and industrial zone investment plan signed by the Qing Dynasty, the United Kingdom and the Chinese people, but the Chinese people had the advantage of the right time, place, and people, and it can be said that they took advantage of all the advantages.

This is also impossible. Who made the Chinese industrial base build on the land of the Qing Dynasty? Railway tracks, locomotives, carriages, steel structure bridges... These products do not require Chinese, but who should use them?

Do you transport your country from your hometown to Qing? How much does it cost!

For three parties, the UK makes money, while the Chinese can make money in the early stage of investment, and then make money after the investment is over. The project funds can make profits, and after the project starts to make profits, they can still share dividends.

All the benefits were taken over by the Chinese, and the British heavy industry had become a red-eyed rabbit!

Some people will say, if you think the UK is not suitable, you will also go to Asia to invest in a steel factory. Aren’t you rich?

Unfortunately, heavy industry is different from light industry. The investment cycle of this thing is too long. When the steel factory in the UK produces steel, it is estimated that the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway will be almost completed!

Another important reason is that the British are used to being robbers, so who can rob them and are willing to build them on their own! In addition, Prince Gong secretly colluded internally, and a plan to conspire to seize property broke out.

Prince Gong's rebellion was actually just an appearance. Behind it was the British who were turning over the table to engage in conspiracy. It could even be more thoughtful that it was the capital representatives of heavy industry in the UK who were causing trouble.

After all, we must dominate the Chinese industry without capital. Their trees bear fruit, so Britain will come down the mountain to pick them!

There is a small single room on the top floor of the Admiralty. Fisher is preparing to take a break here temporarily. It is already bright outside the window, and the busy London once again shows the charm of a world-class metropolis.

The streets were bustling with people, and they enjoyed the glory of the empire that the sun never set. The sirens in the distance were whispering, and police carriages were passing through the streets, and people avoided them.

Fisher knew that this was Benjamin's order to close all Chinese newspapers and magazines. Fisher was not afraid of the Chinese public opinion counterattack. On the contrary, Fisher also believed that this was a manifestation of the Chinese's lack of skills.

The Chinese are already scared and timid, so they use such inconvenient means to attack the British Empire, which is essentially a woman scolding the streets.

Fisher decided to increase the intensity of the crackdown, and this time he would capture all the Chinese forces in Europe, leaving no one behind!

"God bless the British Empire... Maybe I'm really thinking too much, I'm a little nervous... Why do I always worry about a little Chinese?"

"The Royal Navy will not lose!" Fisher raised his head and had a drink before bed, then lay on the bed with a big quilt covered his head, and soon entered his dream.

And his confidant staff officer George also left the Admiralty early and brought the top secret information back to the family!

Facts have proved that there is no secret in the world that can be kept. Inside and outside the circle are two different worlds. Ordinary people outside the circle may never know much truth in their lifetime.

However, one party in the community of interests will share resources as quickly as possible!

At this moment, countless British capital tycoons opened their bloody mouths, and the news that Benjamin "inadvertently" spread was as if they were stimulants.

"Kill the Chinese...splied their industries...let our British Empire completely occupy the Asian market!"

"God bless the sun never set!"
