961 Hurricane Pause

"Let me consider whether it's better to think about it... Actually, I'm not avoiding this question. I just didn't sort out some details! Please believe me, and when the Zhiyuan comes back and the situation in the Far East stabilizes, I will definitely give you an answer!"

Even if the meeting was not in vain today, everyone re-examined the focus of recent work, and it was soon the evening.

At the meeting, the fortress plan was improved, and the general direction of Ryukyu's governance for at least ten years has been set. As for the follow-up solution to the Dakar conflict, everyone has adopted Pierre's suggestions more, after all, he is the intelligence officer most familiar with France.

According to Pierre's analysis, France is now in a period when the emperor and the cabinet are more sensitive, and the conflicts between them have begun to emerge, and the struggle for power has greatly reduced the government's administrative efficiency.

Even if the cabinet collectively agrees to retaliate against Dakar, it will probably be next year. France does not have time to prepare for two wars at the same time, not to mention that the goal of this battle is still the distant Ryukyu.

Prussia is actively preparing for war. Although Pesme attempts to paralyze the entire Europe in various ways, everyone is very aware that the conflict between the popularization of law is gradually escalating.

Where should France's limited military expenditure be invested? Is it the army or the navy? The amount of funds needed to be used across half of the earth is quite large. Even if you can finally get war compensation, the funds in the early stage must be paid in advance.

France is very rich, but its huge wealth is stored in the people. The wealth of France does not mean that the emperor can use it at will. After all, the Second French Empire was a capitalist country, which believed that private property was sacred and inviolable. There was absolutely no powerful monarchal centralization consciousness like the Qing Dynasty, which was "all under the world is the king's land, and all over the land is the king's ministers."

It is true that you are the emperor, but you must also know whose money belongs to! You can spend the royal money as you like. The cabinet's money is the national finance. If you want to use it, you have to ask the cabinet for approval. As for the money of the people, don't think about it. If you dare to reach out to the French, you dare to kill you in another great revolution.

Pierre's analysis was very thorough. According to his analysis, even if France really wanted to send troops to retaliate against Ryukyu, it would be destined to collide with the French-Prussian War. Compared with Ryukyu, France is still more important.

The only thing to worry about is Britain. France will definitely incite Britain to encircle and suppress the warship, which is more troublesome.

But there is no solution. First of all, the night battle in Dakar did not provide more evidence to Britain and France. Everything is in speculation that there is insufficient evidence. Moreover, Europeans generally have a mentality of despising Asia. They want to admit that Ryukyu can own a warship above the level of the entire European level. This psychological hurdle is really hard to overcome.

Another key point to solving the problem is that Long Ye, who is far away in northern Japan, takes action. If a war against Russia breaks out in the Far East, then Britain will definitely be happy to see it. Even in order to jointly deal with the Tsar, he has to choose to cooperate with Xiao Lotte for a short period of time.

"To sum up, the key point of our breaking up now is actually two wars, one is the popularization of law, and the other is the Far East. The more beautiful we fight, the weaker the impact of the Dakar incident on us!"

After listening to Pierre's analysis, I felt like I was clearing my mind. Everyone put down their psychological burdens and devoted themselves to work. Pierre even received high-standard treatment from the Prime Minister himself.

In the evening, the typhoon that had been raging for three days finally calmed down. The sky was blue and the fire clouds in the West were faintly connected. The whole city suddenly became crowded and came back to life.

Xiao Letian watched Pierre walking on the streets of Naba. He didn't know what to do, but he suddenly found that Pierre looked a little lonely, and it felt like he was lonely.

"I really don't know if he and Fangguan can have a result, but it is said that Fangguan has no new love in Europe, and they have always communicated... Forget it, other people's love has nothing to do with me, so I'd better worry less! As Xiao Hexin and others said, the muscles outside Ryukyu are already very strong now, but the heart is still a little lacking in motivation..."

"Reward merits and punishments! Internal promotion mechanism! This is the core factor that unites people's hearts. You cannot neglect people's desires! It seems that you still have to stay up late today!"

Just when Xiao Letian was having a headache about the system, a group of people in Beijing, thousands of miles away, were discussing the same problem.

Hall of Heart, West Warm Pavilion! Cixi sat behind the pearl curtain, and the dragon chair in front of her was empty, while Prince Gong, Prince Chun and other Eight Banners nobles sat on the dragon chair. After careful observation, they were all so-called conservative forces.

A timid man kneeled in front of the dragon chaise, holding a red painted wooden plate in his hand, and stacked stacks of brand new banknotes were placed on it, which was the latest printed bonds of the Ministry of Revenue of the Qing Dynasty.

On the surface, this small meeting was convened by Cixi temporarily, but in fact it was a careful arrangement by the conservative forces. It was to take advantage of the lack of Ci'an's visit to Tantuo Temple to burn incense in the Forbidden City, the conservatives wanted to get through the barriers and accomplish something, and it became a certain fact, and Ci'an was not able to change it in the end.

After An Dehai was beheaded, Li Lianying became a celebrity in front of Cixi. He walked over and took a few stacks of banknotes from the vermilion plate and sent them to the bead curtain.

"God of Lafar, you are interested! This is the bond printed by the newly debugged machine. Finally, the problem of unclear ink and unclear ink has been adjusted. Look at how clear the dragon pattern on it..."

In front of Cixi, there were one yuan, five yuan and ten yuan denominations. The faint ink smell was definitely not as good as burning incense, but this was the smell of money, and it was not good to smell. People were happy when they saw it.

Cixi took out one to fold it and then showed it to watch it. She laughed and said, "Oh! This banknote is really strong, are you afraid of water?"

"No...I'm not afraid of water!" The nervous voice of the person kneeling below changed, and his ears were sharp and thin.

"Be careful! Be careful not to lose your manners in front of the Empress Dowager! How do you teach you the rules before entering the palace?" Yi? scolded from the side, then smiled and bowed to the pearl curtain. "Xiaomin has never seen the majesty of the royal family, so it is inevitable that he is a little nervous. I hope the queen mother understands it!"

People who see money are always happy. Cixi did not care about the rudeness of the visitor, but said with interest, "You are Yang Zhi? He can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and has printed so many paper money for the court, which solved the court's urgent needs. This is a great achievement... Give him a seat first!"

"Why... Lord Lafayette gave him a seat, but he still didn't kowtow and thank him?" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
