What was happening in London, through the telegraph antenna set up at the Roman Embassy in London, soon reached Paris, and provoked different reactions from people of different positions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some were surprised, others frightened, but there was no doubt that the stormy rise of the British Empire would rightfully cause a burst of schadenfreude laughter at the high-level gatherings of the Roman Empire.

"It is a pity that the Western world will soon lose a world empire...... However, in a sense, this is not a bad thing," finally smiled on the gloomy face of Augustus of the Roman Empire, and although he did not want to appear gloating, it was still difficult to hide the joy in his heart. "After hundreds of years of brutal struggle, the Western world is finally about to usher in an era of order, and the Roman Empire will be the maker and maintenance of the order of the Western world, and only Rome can bear such a burden......"

"That's right! This is all due to the wise decisions of your Majesty Augustus! The Marquis de Montauban, the tribune of the Eastern Roman Empire, who was sitting next to him, was also overjoyed, "It was under your wise decision that His Majesty Caesar was able to successfully bring down the British Empire!" ”

'Your Majesty Caesar...... Hmph, a stupid woman with only a son in her eyes and no Roman Empire! Eugenie, the Roman Empress Dowager, who was sitting side by side with Augustus, sneered in her heart. However, the face still echoed the tribune, "The Roman Empire can have today, Mathilde has indeed contributed a lot, if she can put down the rebellion in the south of the Western Empire as soon as possible." All of Rome would be even more grateful to her. ”

On the merits, Empress Dowager Eugenie's opinion of Mathilde was not wrong, and the Marquis de Montauban's statement was not wrong. Mathilde I did mobilize the forces of the Western Empire for the sake of his son, and copied the back route of the British and American forces, causing the British Empire to be defeated in the American theater. The American Revolution was the inevitable result of the defeat of the British and American armies. The current wave of protests in Britain is a consequence of the American Revolution. From this point of view, Mathilde's "misdeeds" helped his son Juan and pushed the new Roman Empire to its highest peak. And Napoleon IV, who was very unlucky in history, became a lucky person to sit back and enjoy it. What his father and the second uncle failed to achieve, it is likely that he will complete it.

"There is no hurry to quell the rebellion in the south of the Western Empire, Mathilde intends to lead his troops to South America after Juan resigns as king of Donghua." Joseph Bonaparte smiled. Then gently turn the wine glass in his hand, "The priority now." Or on the other side of the English Channel, the island nation that has been fighting with France for hundreds of years has not yet finally collapsed! ”

"That's just a matter of time, although there will inevitably be some twists and turns." Napoleon IV was not disturbed by Joseph Bonaparte's words, he only raised his eyebrows slightly. "Of course, we have to work harder, using all means other than war to bring about the collapse of the British Empire!" ”

Contrary to Robert Churchill's assumptions, Napoleon IV had no thought at all about maintaining the British Empire. It has always been Napoleon IV's policy to bring about the collapse of this white world empire, the only one that could stand up to Rome. Thus, immediately after the American Revolution, Napoleon IV instructed Mathilde to provide assistance to the American Revolutionary Council, which the Roman Empire needed to exist, whether or not the revolutionary United States would submit to Rome. On this issue, Napoleon IV and his ministers were not confused.

Thus while the New York Uprising was still underway. Under the banner of "humanitarian aid", the Roman navy transported tens of thousands of tons of Mexican corn to New York in order to feed the Americans there. Meanwhile. New France also accepted the exile of prominent members of the Bush administration and made them publicly declare in New Orleans that they would resign from all positions and transfer power to the American Revolutionary Council, which gave the American Revolutionary Council a legal status and enabled it to win the allegiance of the majority of American troops.

Intrigues against Britain itself were also brewing at the courts of Paris and Rome. The conspiracy was divided into two parts, one was to provide support to the British government and potential opponents of the Hanoverian dynasty, including the British Socialists and the James Party and the Irish independence movement, among others.

The second is to deal a fatal blow to Britain economically - and this is especially fatal! The current Roman Empire is not the Second French Empire in history. Though...... There are also some foreign powers, but the strength of the Roman Empire. Rome, in particular, was very economically strong!

Although this strength was not based on heavy industry, the Roman Empire's agriculture, light industry, and financial industries were almost as powerful as those of the Great Chinese Empire.

Roman agriculture certainly did not produce as much as the agriculture of the Great Chinese Empire. However, the Roman Empire, which has the granaries of North America Mexico and New France, the granaries of South America Argentina and Brazil, as well as Central America and the Caribbean islands that are very suitable for growing various cash crops, is currently the world's main exporter of agricultural products, and its grain exports even accounted for about 80% of the total international grain trade in 876! If Napoleon IV and Mathilde I so wished, all of Europe and North America, except for the territory of the Roman Empire, would starve - including the Kingdom of Donghua!

And the financial industry of the Roman Empire dominated the entire Western finance! Long before Napoleon III came to power, the financial sector in France was exceptionally developed, and the so-called 200 bankers were the masters of the entire country. In the process of Napoleon III coming to power, the French financial giants represented by the Berella family, the Rothschild (James Rothschild) family, the Forde family, the Mallett family, the Segur family (Maria's ex-husband family), the Daveril family, the Rubesak family, the Damochi family, the Goodhawkes family, and the Lesidsco family can be said to have contributed greatly.

As the Second French Empire continued to rise to glory, the finances of the bankers in France and Rome also swelled rapidly. The major banks of the Roman Empire, such as Mathilde's Banque de Aamericana de Mexico, Rothschild's Rothschild Banque de France, the Berella's Chattel Credit Bank and Transatlantic Bank, and the Segur family's Ségur-HSBC, completely overwhelmed their British or German rivals and became dominant in the Western financial markets after the start of the World War.

Similarly, the gold franc issued by the Banco de l'Oro and the silver peso issued by the Banco di Occidental de la Romano (restructured from the banknote issuing department of the Banco de Aéroque de México). It is the strongest hard currency in the international market, even surpassing the Huayuan of the Great China Empire, which was still at war - after all, the Huayuan was not a real international currency before the war, but only circulated in the Greater China Economic Circle. Moreover, the financial market in the Greater China Economic Circle is completely under the control of the Ming royal family, and is not fully connected to the international financial market. Because of the factors of war, most of the safe-haven funds that flowed out of Britain, the United States, Germany, Austria and Russia flowed into the Roman Empire, making the gold and silver reserves of the Roman Empire reach an unprecedented amount.

The Bank of East and West Rome (which is planned to be merged, but the Roman Empire does have two central banks at present) is even more bullish than the Federal Reserve of later generations, and has a unique position in the international financial market! In fact, these two central banks, like the agricultural products of the Roman Empire, were in the hands of Napoleon IV and Mathilde I!

Napoleon III's half-brother Auguste Moni, who controlled the Eastern Roman Bank and was also the Chancellor of the Eastern Empire, was also present at today's banquet.

"My Majesty, I have just had a full exchange of views with Mr. Morgan, President of the Eastern Imperial Bank, by telegram." Auguste said cautiously, "We all believe that the economy of Great Britain is in unprecedented difficulty, and that only Rome can save it, and it is Rome that can immediately push it into the abyss!" Everything will be decided by your will, Your Majesty! ”

"Save it?" Napoleon IV looked at Auguste Moni, "If it were the Roman Empire that was in trouble now, would the British come to the rescue or would they stab me in the back?" ”

"But many people fear that if the tide of revolution is not contained in Britain, it will soon reach the European continent," said Mani, with some concern......

"The revolution will be contained in England as the revolution of '88 was contained in Hungary!" Napoleon IV laughed confidently, "I think the British will expect the Roman Army to help them restore order...... But before that, they'll need to endure the chaos for a while. August, I think you know what to do, right? ”

"Yes, I know what to do." Auguste Moni nodded, in fact he did not know exactly, but his two deputies, two important directors of the Eastern Roman Bank, Alphonse Rothschild and Eugene Belleni, were experts in this area. They have already developed a set of practical plans for him.

"Now the exchange rate of the pound and the price of British government bonds have actually collapsed, and the British banking sector has in fact collapsed - because they have bought too much British and American government debt, and have invested too much in the United States, and all this has lost far more than the total capital of the British banking sector, and all the British banks are effectively insolvent.

But the British economy is struggling to function with the pound collapsing and the banking sector insolvent. The main reason is that the British government's economic control policy is relatively effective, so that the entire economy can run without relying on finance and markets, but on government directives. However, this kind of economic control policy has also encountered great difficulties at present. As far as we know, the reserves of agricultural and mineral products in British warehouses are already running out, and gold and silver in the Bank of England will also bottom out. The UK economy is clearly on the verge of final collapse if we want to speed up the process...... We should lead an effort to help stabilize the UK's currency. To be continued)
