C2703 Make him four hundred million taels of silver!] (2/2)

At that time, the Great Qing, in addition to He De's control of the customs revenue, only earned 30 to 40 million silver taels annually.

Three whole years of Great Qing's revenue had become Xiao Letian's bargaining chip. If the nobles of the Manchu dynasty knew about this kind of big gamble, they really wouldn't know how to feel about it.

What was worse was that this one hundred and twenty million silver, just through the battle of Walter and the battle of the Spicillin's plateau, had already doubled!

Two hundred forty million silver, this was the repayment Xiao Letian reaped after only a month of fighting!

However, Fang Guan's ambition was even stronger, so she actually wanted to earn two times as much. She wanted to turn 30 million to 100 million, so he wanted to let the Chief return home with 400 million silver taels!

With this four hundred million silver taels, Xiao Letian's dream of the deep blue navy would have hope!

His dreams were great, but the process was complicated. Not all financial markets were crazy, and there were many calm Investor s.

The surrounding area of Bank of England was already filled with fanatical Investor, but not all of them were there. At least sixty percent of the Investor s were still watching from the sidelines.

Inside the Downing Street, Prime Minister Gladstone, the Prince of Crown Prince Edward and the others were gathered together. Each one of them had a strange expression on their faces as they analyzed the battle situation.

The study room was completely silent. Only after drinking two glasses of whiskey did The Duke of Newkes open his mouth, ”The Prime Minister invited us here today, could it be to hold a mute meeting? What is there to think about? Xiao Letian is our friend and Prussian is the queen's relative.

Crown Prince Edward put down his wine cup and sighed: ”I never thought that this would happen so quickly!”

”I was afraid that my sister and brother-in-law would suffer losses in this war, and I even used the royal influence to help raise money in the financial markets …”

”But …” But how could France be beaten into dough in such a short time? ”Isn't this too much …”

”Duke, it's not that I don't want Prussia to win, I just don't want them to win!”

A policy of checks and balances in the mainland, that was also a policy of checks and balances in the mainland! This was already Britain's national policy. Facing the continental Europe, Britain would never hope for a strong warrior to stand up.

France's defeat was something that Britain would have liked to see, but he would have preferred to see France and Prussia both suffering, and Prussia at the very best!

Gladstone was very familiar with this. He smiled and said, ”I don't think this war will go smoothly. Although French Emperor suffered two defeats, his vitality was not damaged …”

”According to intel, the French side has lost more than 10,000 people, but not more than 20,000. This kind of loss is nothing to the French …”

”French Emperor has almost 300,000 members of the Professional Legion. This amount of damage is something we can bear!”

”And now that France is at war with the mainland, theoretically they will have countless sources of troops. The more Prussia fights, the more difficult it will become!”

”Look at the financial markets now, even though Prussia's stocks have doubled, most of the Investor did not do anything …”

”Otherwise, tripling it by more than three times!”
