C2320 Irish Sea (2/2)

”Aren't you waiting for the foreign devils to intervene if you don't get some out of such a big cake? Therefore, it is very likely that this railway will be built in the form of a joint-stock company! ”

”No one can take advantage of their own interests, so we can only share the benefits. What we seek is only the control of the railway, but only the ownership of the shares!”

”Xiang Ying... Let me remind you! ” ”Sima Yun's tone became stern:” This is no longer a world where one can only eat, regardless of whether you like it or not, England is now so powerful, it has the ability to bully others, we can only adapt, and then slowly seek change!

Xiang Ying was not annoyed after listening to his reprimand. He smiled and nodded, ”Yes, thank you for your guidance, General. I was just raising my question earlier, and did not intend to interfere with the leader's decision.”

After he finished speaking, Xiang Ying took a step back and hid in a corner again. Beside him were those young and strong officers who only had the qualifications to sit, but had no right to speak.

Xiao Letian glanced at Xiang Ying meaningfully, ”Alright, we will leave Zai Chun alone for a while. The day after tomorrow is the day when Gladstone will impeach Benjamin, so we will give it our all to help him solve this problem …”

The meeting continued in the middle of the night, but Xiao Letian could still faintly feel a sense of unease.

It was one o'clock in the night when the meeting finally came to an end. The different departments started their own operations and the secret messages they sent to the King Yi quickly flew out along the English domestic spiderweb-like telegraph line.

In the Irish Sea, near the Southern Bank of the Isle of Man, ships of all sizes were sailing in a steady stream on the busy sea.

Today was a good day. The three consecutive days of fog had all dispersed. The morning sunlight shone on the sea, causing the sea birds to chirp in the sky. The sound of the whistle could be heard unceasingly.

On a busy route, a small Klavier freighter was sailing full sail towards the Irish port of Dublin.

Klavir cargo ships were considered very old models in Europe. Many of these fifteenth-century ships had a history of at least two or three hundred years. Fortunately, the wooden sails had an extremely long lifespan.

A very important model in the history of European shipbuilding, the Claville Sailboat was the original version of the famous Clark model.

But the glory of the past belonged only to history, and in the nineteenth century the sailboats had retreated to the back of the line, no longer visible in the deep blue ocean except for a few short coastal routes.

Lan Di was an old, 200-year-old Klavier sail freighter. Although the ship was still well maintained, it could not take on the most risky ocean transportation and could only make a short trip to the British Isles.

Irish wool, silk, whisky, cattle and sheep... Wait until the farm products are shipped to Liverpool, and then ship the wool, cotton, and industrial goods of England to Ireland.

In the Irish Sea and the Saint Qiao Zhi Strait, there were countless cargo ships engaging in this kind of short-haul business. The Lan Di was never the most eye-catching cargo ship, other than the tax-collecting ships that were interested in him, the rest of the naval patrol ships treated him like thin air.

But such an ordinary freighter was actually hiding a large shark that the entire Great Qing was afraid of.
