British ambassadors were allowed to visit the Chinese emperor on pagan festivals, but there was no need for London. The Lantern Festival is an official holiday in China, and everyone can have a day off. The British Parliament is hotly debated.

“…… China's water, gas, and electricity are all monopolized by state-owned companies. The same is true for grain, which China buys in a unified manner and then sells it to various grain stores through a unified sales channel. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very efficient approach. Producers throughout the country no longer have to painstakingly search for consumers, and the food supply is no longer a place for speculators to stir up trouble, but a place for the well-being of the country......"

The parliamentarians talked about the adjustment of the government's functions, and although the parliamentarians representing the interests of the big landowners and grain merchants all looked at the parliamentarians who spoke with disdain, the parliamentarians from other industries listened to them anyway. In recent years, the study of China's social system has once again become an important part of Europe, and the last time China was in the Enlightenment era before the French Revolution.

Leaving aside the state ownership of the land, the elimination of the landlords, gentry and aristocracy, the parliamentarian merely proposed the establishment of state-owned enterprises, and the state limited the status of basic daily necessities such as water and electricity, so as to reduce the cost of living of the British subjects, so as to combat the economic crisis, or at least allow the British subjects to resist for a longer time when they tide over the economic crisis.

After the congressmen had finished expressing their views, other lawmakers shouted, "Congressman Russell is a communist!" ”

After hearing this, Congressman Russell was not angry, and he calmly replied: "I am just a socialist, not a communist!" ”

The next member of parliament to come to power asked, "Gentlemen, why do you think China is expanding so strongly?" ”

The parliamentarian pretended to be polite and waited for five seconds before continuing: "China's colonial policy is different from ours. In every piece of land occupied by China, a large number of Chinese immigrants soon appeared. The number of these immigrants greatly outnumbered the natives, and the colony became Chinese territory. And what about our British Empire? Our colony is still a colony. Because the Chinese population is large, their population exceeds 500 million, and they can migrate wherever they want. ”

After speaking, the councillor escaped from a small paper bag and held it in his hand, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Some of the councillors were at a loss, some of them changed their faces after looking at them carefully for a while, and some simply laughed out loud.

"That's right, you read that right! This is what China has been selling to us in large quantities lately. Condom! The parliamentarian gave the answer loudly. There was a sensation in the parliament, and the parliamentarians basically knew about it, and many of them used it. Unlike the rubber covers in Europe and the United States, the thin latex covers feel better and are much cheaper. In this period of economic crisis when entertainment is scarce, the working class needs to have fun and is afraid to have children, and this inexpensive product sells very well.

This kind of happy thing cannot be brought to the parliament, so everyone is a little skeptical that the member who spoke is crazy, or at least mentally unstable. The speaker held the hammer in his hand to preside over the meeting, and wondered whether to remove the members from the stage. His statement was outrageous.

The MP who spoke didn't care what everyone thought, and he continued: "Now the Chinese's trick is to keep the population of our British Empire down. And China's population and territory continue to grow, and these alone can overwhelm our British Empire. There are still solutions to this problem! ”

Although this statement sounds strange, there is some truth to it. The huge population of industrialized China was a huge headache for the British, how could they withstand such a terrible army?

The congressman on the stage continued with emotion: "The current solution is to eliminate the United States and move most of the population of Britain to North America. With current technology, the Grand Fleet we are about to build is enough to cross the Atlantic. The United States is a vast land and was once a British colony. By turning North America into our new homeland, within twenty years, our population could grow to 100 million or more. At that time, we will have the manpower to compete with any country. This! is the true future of our British Empire! ”

This opinion is theoretically feasible, and the reason why Britain did not take action against the United States during the American Civil War was of course due to the fact that the South was too strange, and the South thought that it could jam the British in the neck of cotton, and that it could defeat Britain by force alone. A large part of the other reason was that Britain did not have ironclads capable of crossing the Atlantic. The sail battleship was too inferior in the face of the ironclad.

Now that this war with China has been fought, Britain has opened its minds, and the new fuse has barely succeeded in copying it. The detonation rate of the blasting projectile is greatly increased. As soon as the new fleet was completed, Britain once again had an all-round overwhelming advantage over the US Navy. Moreover, the United States is vast and sparsely populated and rich in resources, so it can really take the United States, and Britain will put its mainland in the United States. The subjects of the British Empire were free to have children. After the population increased, the British Empire was able to maintain the population of Britain proper.

As for the plan of how to eliminate the United States, Britain has carefully studied it many times, and there is no shortage of various plans. In addition to its military and technical problems, Britain also lacked the resolve to treat North America as the home of the British Empire. Now that some MPs have come up with such a crazy plan, the members of the British Parliament are really in good spirits.

While the first two paragraphs were quite impactful, the later statements of parliamentarians were not so impactful. The two men were talking about an attempt to transform Britain, which now faces many problems, and the demographic problem is undoubtedly one of them. The UK mainland is so big, and the bigger places are divided into England, Scotland and Ireland. If it weren't for the killing of all the bards who inherited Welsh culture hundreds of years ago, I am afraid that Wales would have survived tenaciously until now.

China has a large population and a unified culture, while the United States is a vast country of immigrants, and both countries have advantages that Britain does not have. And now Britain is unwilling to make changes, and only wants to stay at the peak of this world hegemony forever. At least some of the British parliamentarians felt something that was disturbing them.

Britain is Britain after all, and in the coming period, the plans for annexing the United States are gradually increasing. In fact, there is no need to completely annex the United States, and the initial strategic goal can be set as to conquer the developed areas of the East Coast and seize the industrial areas of the Great Lakes. If this can be achieved, the overall strength of Britain will increase by a large size, or even double.

These plans are not difficult, but what is difficult afterward? The independence of the United States was due to the unscrupulous merchants of the British colonies who refused to pay taxes and colluded with the French to carry out a great rebellion. If you just engage in immigration, you are likely to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future. The best thing to do is really to treat North America as the British mainland, the royal family, the army, the industry, these main people moved to North America. Leave some capable and reliable people to continue to run England and maintain the balance of power in Europe. It took Britain decades to thoroughly digest North America. If this goal can be achieved, the future of the UK will be bright.

The problem is that this is no longer a gamble on national fortunes, but a radical change in the nature of Britain. No matter how advantageous and feasible this solution may seem. But the transformation of European countries into American countries, the final feeling of the British upper echelons about this is "too ridiculous"!

What's more, the cost of this war is also very large, and there is also the possibility of defeat. If this must be done, Britain might as well move its capital to India, at least to save the cost of fighting the war. The cost of the war is a lot of money.

It was already June when Wei Ze learned the news, and he finally agreed that his eldest son Wei Rui would apply for the military academy. Even if he was not happy, Wei Ze couldn't help but smile after seeing the news. It is no wonder that until before World War II, the United States formulated a naval plan with the goal of annihilating the British Royal Navy. The British do not seem to have given up on the idea of taking out the United States, and the most vigilant force in the United States is also the British Royal Navy.

In the news that China received, the plan was shelved, and Weeser regretted it. In Weeser's understanding, if Britain can really make such a determination, it is really possible for Britain to be reborn from the ashes. At this stage, if Britain is willing to make huge concessions in Northwest America, Weeser is really willing to help Britain. A North American Britain, Weeser wanted to see what kind of development such a history would lead to anyway.

Of course, this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and the self-identity of the country cannot be changed so easily. Not to mention in this era when it was widely believed that Europe was more advanced than North America. It is simply impossible for the noble British to depreciate themselves to desolate and backward North America.

"It seems that when a country is in decline, there are always some intelligent people who can come up with some insightful opinions." Wei Ze said to Lei Hu.

Lei Hu couldn't understand the meaning of Wei Ze's words for the time being, the reason why he came was to ask the principal of the Nanjing Army Academy how to treat Wei Ze's eldest son Wei Rui in the army. The dean of the Army Academy was already too frightened to come and ask Wei Ze about his attitude in person.

Sighing at his son, Wei Ze could only sigh, "Wei Rui will change his name to Qi Rui first, how should the others go to school, how should they be soldiers, how should they be soldiers." I didn't want anyone to know who he was. ”

Lei Hu heard that Wei Ze was going to change his son's surname, and he had to admire Wei Ze's hard work. In a place like a military school, it is not necessarily a good thing to be famous outside of your studies. As Wei Ze's eldest son, this identity is a heavy burden for Wei Rui. People who have good intentions towards Wei Rui will stay away from Wei Rui because of his identity, and those who have bad intentions towards Wei Rui will take advantage of Wei Rui's identity. Wei Rui is still just a child, and he will not understand that there is too much malice in the world now.

"Governor, I will definitely keep Wei Rui's identity strictly secret, and now he is an ordinary military cadet named Qi Rui." Lei Hu said to Wei Ze seriously.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Ze could only express his gratitude to Lei Hu, and in addition, he really didn't know what to say about his son's affairs.

"By the way, the new warship has come out, let's go and have a look." Weeser changed the subject.
