Chapter 598: The Pacific Empire is the Key! What do they want?
Xiao Maoqi's personality is relatively weak, so he can scold such vulgar words, which shows the wonder of the current situation.
The Entente and the Allied Powers have now become the top bulls, and if you want to say that in terms of the balance of power on the European continent, the Allied Powers still have a great advantage, of course, this is the balance of forces, but this power is not obedient, then two words.
For example, Russia, the current Russia is very interesting, after they fought Finland with difficulty, in fact, in the end, the two countries negotiated peace, Finland did not lose on the battlefield, but it could not fight, and Russia entered Poland.
The German Empire immediately sent troops, and they also entered Poland, creating a situation in which the German Empire was opposed to the Russian Empire.
It's funny, two countries in the alliance, and then they end up in opposition to each other, it's just amazing!
In fact, everyone understands that the alliance entente is no different from a piece of butt paper, it can be thrown away at any time for the sake of interests, and the Germans are not stupid, how can they not see that if Poland is finished, then Russia will directly threaten themselves?
As a result, the whole war situation has entered a stalemate, which is a form on the European battlefield, and looking at the whole world, many colonies are also fighting with each other, which is the epitome of the great war, but on the whole, it is also a stalemate, so ......
In addition to this, there is another big country in this world, and that big country has not moved yet!
"Mr. Liszt, it is our sincere hope that the British Empire will impose an embargo on the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, an evil alliance with which all of Europe will be ravaged by their iron hooves!"
"George. Mr. Lee, in a personal relationship, I ask you to your majesty the Emperor of your country. Great Clint. Lee I said that we in the British Empire would be most grateful. ”
Salisbury's closest recent figures are two people, one is Liszt, the foreign secretary of the Pacific Empire, and the other is George Brown. Li, someone's sister is the imperial concubine.
It should be said that Salisbury is busy. It's really busy and tiring.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to win the support of the Pacific Empire, as long as there is the support of the Pacific Empire, then this war can be over!
The whole of Europe, and many parts of the world, are now fighting, and only the Pacific Empire is now out of the way, which is simply unacceptable. They can't do that, because that's the case......
How will the British Empire dominate the world in the future?
Salisbury knows very well why the British Empire has been able to develop so well, such a world hegemon?
All because there is no war!
It is in the British Isles that there has not been any war for a long time, so we can build and develop with peace of mind, and now. The whole world fights, that is, the Pacific Empire does not fight. So what to do in the future, when this Pacific empire develops?
Therefore, even if it is not a matter of the final victory, the Pacific Empire must be pulled into the water, so that it will work.
But......
"Mr. Salisbury. We, the Pacific Empire, said before the war that we would remain neutral. This is Liszt's answer, which is equivalent to saying anything.
"Mr. Salisbury, our Pacific Empire also has a good relationship with Austria-Hungary in the Allied States, you understand." This is George. Lee's answer. It's simply ......
Hey, obviously, the attitude of the Pacific Empire has made Salisbury scratch his head, so what can be done about this?
Just when Salisbury was very uncomfortable, you know, at this time, Salisbury was already sick, a kind of amnesia, maybe God thought he was too smart, so he forgot something, and this was even more painful, but at this moment, someone came to find him.
"Hello, Lord Salisbury."
"Hello, Mr. Cameron."
The person who came here is now a famous British financial figure, William. Cameron!
Salisbury was a little forgetful, but he still remembered that William. Cameron's relationship with the Pacific Empire is very close, and he is doing a lot of things.
In other words, the matter of the financial market is that there are funds doing arbitrage, and the interest rate differential formed by the over-issuance of the British pound is the official price at which the pound was originally exchanged for gold, which is different from the black market price, and this thing was done by Cameron.
That's why I want to see you!
"It's a nice day today."
"Oh yes, Mr. Cameron is very observant."
"I heard that in the Times, there was a recent advertisement that a nice tailor shop was on sale?"
"Oh, this, maybe......"
In what the two of them said, it was a mess, especially Cameron, this guy just didn't play according to the rules of the cards at all.
Salisbury, on the other hand, was not in too much of a hurry, but was chatting with great interest.
"Well, Lord Salisbury, you are truly wise."
Speaking of which, in the end, this William. Cameron can't get mixed up.
"Sir, please explain your intentions." Salisbury knew the real thing was coming.
"This ......" William. Cameron was still a little embarrassed.
You know, Cameron was a citizen of the British Empire, and now, he is speaking for other countries, which is simply ...... When Cameron took advantage of the spread, he didn't think about it, really.
Perhaps he was inspired by Lord Salisbury...... Cameron couldn't help but think like this, but things still have to be said.
"First of all, I have to emphasize that this is not what the Emperor of the Pacific Empire meant." Cameron came first.
"Good! I understand. Salisbury nodded.
Well, of course he understood, because he knew that it could very well be the great Clint. Lee's meaning.
Yes, at this time, you must be obedient, and you must understand what the other party means, obviously, the words just now are antithetical.
Apparently. It's because of some words that the Pacific Empire can't say directly, so I found this Cameron and asked him to talk about it.
This is important!
Cameron began to say, "Your Excellency Salisbury, I am a businessman. Businessmen pay attention to an exchange, so there is an exchange, naturally there must be a price, a commodity it must have its own price, if there is no price, then the transaction can not be completed, we always have to find a price, don't you say? ”
These words are really in the clouds. But though, Salisbury really got it.
Of course I understand that. However, if I am a buyer, does the seller make an offer, so what can I do as a buyer? Salisbury's answer is really powerful enough, do you understand?
Cameron really got it!
In fact. What is it talking about?
It's about the Pacific Empire falling to the side of the British Empire, since you want us to let the Pacific Empire come out and do things. So you have to give something good, right? You have to give us some benefit, right?
Otherwise......
Otherwise, we just keep the status quo!
That's right, how good is it now, it's to make money on both sides, have you heard that?
The German Empire wanted the Pacific Empire to customize some new vehicles, and these things will appear on the battlefields of Europe.
So, let's put it simply. The price that your British Empire is going to pay now is at least greater than the obvious interests of the present.
But though, William. That's not what Cameron said, that's what he said.
"Oops! My Lord Salisbury, you still haven't figured out one thing. That is, who is the one who buys things? ”
Hey, that's the statement......
"......," Salisbury stopped talking.
In fact, Salisbury has already understood, that is, the Pacific Empire they want to be the one who buys things.
In itself, this matter is relatively difficult to understand, because from the general point of view, the buyer at this time, that is, the demand side, should be the British Empire, because you need the help of the Pacific Empire.
However, the British Empire had to give a benefit, to the Pacific Empire, in order to achieve this goal.
And in this way, isn't it the other way around?
The buyer becomes the Pacific Empire, and what they sell is their own military power!
Buyer vs. seller, is this question important?
Of course it's important!
For example, in a contract, the buyer is Party A, the seller is called Party B, and Party A is the one who says it!
Oh, who's in charge of this dirty, complicated deal!
How can this not be critical?
"Okay!" Salisbury gritted his teeth, it turned out to be like this, so he could only lose a certain amount of initiative, "Our British Empire will give considerable concessions, such as giving the Pacific Empire the most favored nation treatment, and reducing tariffs to the minimum!" ”
It should be said that this condition is very good, which is equivalent to taking off his pants and showing the other party!
But......
"This thing, it's a little insufficient, isn't it?" That William. Cameron is not satisfied!
"Insatiable bastard!" Salisbury said this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it. This scolding is scolding, business still has to be discussed, "Then, our British Empire will order 100 million pounds of arms from the Pacific Empire!" ”
Another quote.
To be honest, £100 million is very tempting at this point, and that's a lot of money.
But not ......
"Your Excellency, the pound is a little cheaper now." Cameron this guy is all laughing!
"This ......," Salisbury said angrily, "then, what kind of price can make this business successful?" ”
Simply, you say the price!
This dominance has been lost a bit......
Cameron smiled and said, "A colony, what do you think?" ”
"What?" Salisbury didn't expect that this Pacific Empire has such a big appetite! (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you all for your support! Thank you for the black car!
In addition, it's almost the New Year, hey, hey, this is not far from the New Year, it's really emotional, the days go by so fast, thank you!
