C3361 Princess as lobbyist (1/2)
In the face of absolute strength, Xiao Letian's plans were actually useless. In this era, Britain was just too powerful, so strong that no one could challenge it.
Even Bismark, who had won the Franco-Prussian War, did not dare to challenge the authority of the United Kingdom when he had the huge industrial and military power of Germany.
Even if Bismark had to offend the generals of the navy, he wanted to suppress the urge of Germany to build a big navy.
At this point, the process of industrialization of the Chinese people was just beginning. The entire Chinese people's GDP might not even compare to that of the small European countries like Greece and Portugal.
Fighting the British at this time was obviously not a wise choice.
Princess Cissie and Xiao Letian's shamelessness and shamelessness from the other party last night was not a matter of men and women. The two of them spent most of the night discussing how to pass the test here.
After thinking about it, the Princess Cissie could only regretfully admit that she had to agree to the English conditions, otherwise there was no possibility of passing.
Unreconciled, Xiao Letian was truly unreconciled, this anger was always released, and no matter how he thought about it, he suddenly thought of a way, that if they were in a place that was strictly guarded by the British, maybe they could steal some benefits.
Xiao Letian had more than a hundred years of memories compared to the people of this era. There were many methods to fish in troubled waters!
The two of them opened the Plum Blossom three times a night and then drew up a sinister plan to trap Britain. When dawn arrived, the two of them started to act separately.
Xiao Letian went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Princess Cissie went to the Buckingham Palace.
The Princess Cissie took full advantage of her relationship with the Queen, as well as her naturally weak side, in order to obtain the Queen's sympathy.
”Your Majesty, the Führer never had the intention to challenge Britain. He just neglected a lot of details because this damned war was too chaotic …”
”Nothing can be hidden from you. I am reminding him, and the dissidents in exile in London are reminding him too...” You should know this better than I do! ”
”Aware of his negligence, the Führer made the adjustment... Xiao Letian is prepared to split the 1.2 billion war reparations into four parts and leave it in Europe without bringing it back to Asia! ”
”Hiss …” The Crown Prince gasped, ”Stay in Europe? Not taking them away? Xiao Letian is truly willing to part with it … ”
”That's right, the 1.2 hundred million francs will be divided into four parts on average, one of which will be in the Bank of England, and the Führer will guarantee that the gold compensation will be the most important part of the existence of the Kingdom!”
”Only a quarter of them are in the Berlin Imperial Bank, another quarter are in the Switzerland, and the rest are in the Netherlands …”
”I talked to him last night for a long time. I told him very clearly that after all, money is going to flow. What's the use of bringing it back to Asia?”
”The compensation you get from France will certainly be spent in Europe... Where do you want to purchase your industrial equipment? Where do new weapons come from? ”
”Even your Iron-armored Ship s have to be purchased from German and British shipyards. No other country has such a shipbuilding capability!”
”You want to build your own warship?” ”Please, without decades of development and technological advancements, how could you have reached such a level in industry?”
”Your Majesty, now that Xiao Letian has understood this, the center of technology and industry in this world is still Europe. Only by spending money in Europe can he get the best industrial products.”
”Even their Chinese student program needs a lot of money... These 1.2 billion francs will be used as the foreign exchange reserves of the Chinese people in Europe! ”
