After the London Peace Conference, many things were established, one of which was crucial to the British, that is, to obtain a stake in the Panama Canal, and the other was naturally to be able to do business with the American Empire.

The two sides negotiated well, the tariffs were roughly equal, and naturally, one of the principles of this thing was to protect one's weaknesses and then highlight one's strengths.

What are the strengths of the British?

In the British mind, it is naturally a high-end thing.

Although the textile industry of the British is very developed, everyone knows that the American Empire has engaged in a lot of cotton in the south of the United States, and their cost in this regard is relatively low.

As the world's factory, the British have this self-confidence, their machine tools are the best today, that is to say, the British have a great advantage in high-end manufacturing, which is a fact that almost the whole world knows.

Unless it's the kind of really uncivilized, they all know, even the Manchu rulers, and now Germany is starting to learn.

In that case, this aspect should be your own fist, or a heavy fist, so naturally in terms of tariffs, your American Empire can't go too far.

Don't say it, the American Empire is really face-saving, and when it was negotiated, it was collected according to about 15%!

You see, 15% is a lot lower than the average tax rate in the American Empire, so it's good for the British, of course. The British were also to tax high-end manufactured goods on the part of the American Empire according to this standard.

That's good. When the negotiations are over. The British side is happy to say that they all feel that they have got a big bargain!

It is conceivable that in the near future, the American empire will be flooded with British machine tools, British high-end products......

But well, this business has been done now, and the British have found that something seems wrong!

What's wrong?

Originally, I thought that the British mechanical machine tool or something. There will be a good market in the American Empire, and this matter has been somewhat achieved, that is, the American Empire has really imported a lot of British machine tools and equipment. However, the British found themselves as if they had never earned the American Empire.

Because the American Empire also had a lot of things, things like that, that were exported to England!

And what?

One of the most common commodities is a car!

This thing is good! Very good! It's so stylish! It's so practical!

Don't look at the British people who are in an economic crisis, but the British are really rich, after all, they are superpowers at this time, so such a big country is seeing cars like this. As if like an alien vehicle, how will they behave xiàn?

Buy! Buy! Buy!

Cars are so new. As soon as this thing goes out, it's simple, all kinds of big beauties can be killed!

The British are really not short of local tyrants at this time, and the price is really cheap, just the highest-end car produced by the Imperial Hongqi Automobile Factory, the price is 1500 US dollars a piece, and after this guy is converted to the UK, it is 300 pounds, which is almost this number, so this is very cheap, okay?

What businessman can't afford to pay that money? What aristocratic lord can't even take out three hundred pounds?

Therefore, the British really bought a lot of cars, and this amount is really far more than the machine tools that the American Empire bought from the United Kingdom!

And, don't forget, there are tractors and electric lights on the Empire's side!

Electric light, this thing is so fresh, small, small, much stronger than that kerosene lamp. After a British businessman saw it, he immediately proposed to do this thing in Britain, which is a must.

But you know, this thing needs electricity, it needs a power station, this is a set, so do you want it......

"Sell! Unafraid! Li Mengyang made such an instruction at that time, he was not afraid that the British would learn our technology at all, he was really not afraid!

Why?

Simple, if you want to make the development of technology faster, then you naturally have to 'open source', the more people participate in this technology, it is the industrial chain generated by this technological revolution, then this technology can develop faster, and we human beings can enter the next era more quickly!

And the most important thing is that the UK has a relatively complete patent protection law in the world today, so our empire ...... That's bloodsucking!

"Not only selling! And there are also generous, very confident sales! "What Li Mengyang said at the time was righteous and awe-inspiring, and as for the bloodsucking ...... Anyway, it's covered up by slogans like ALL-HAIL-LEE.

And not only these, but also in terms of medical treatment, the empire has penicillin, this thing is simply more expensive than gold in the UK!

And also......

By the way, aluminum, but Li Mengyang quietly engaged in this thing, don't put too much at once, otherwise the price of this aluminum will fall, so how much will we suffer?

So, just these products, these are simply fist products, and they are simply punching the old face of the British!

This does not have any advantage in doing business with the American Empire, but it has been made a lot of gold, which is ......

Most of the European and American countries stipulate how much gold and silver their currencies contain, and then exchange them according to each other, so this is equivalent to the flow of British gold to the American Empire.

Then this thing doesn't feel like a good thing, right? What can I do?

To say, Disraeli, the current British Chancellor of the Exchequer, oh, by the way, he has become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom before, which means that he is now a real power monopoly, Prime Minister and Finance Minister, but this guy is actually a Jew, that is, he is also a shrewd businessman, so in this situation. He soon had a solution.

"Put the goods of the American Empire. Sold to the European continent! ”

Right. This is the solution of the Prime Minister Disraeli at the official meeting, so to speak......

That's a very high trick!

You see, the fact that things from the American Empire are so popular, and this thing can only be traded with Britain now, doesn't that mean that Britain now controls the supply of goods in demand?

Britain is also Europe, so the people's preferences should be similar, so sell these things to France and other countries on the European continent. You can imagine it......

Don't say it, it's very sought-after!

Isn't that the same as Britain lost gold, but made up for it from Europe?

The British have since embarked on the path of a second-class trafficker, and they will be very profitable for a while, but!

It's really strange to say that it was originally a world factory, but now it has become a logistics!

But don't care what, just make money, the British recognize this.

Arguably. These international trades, from the point of view of development, are absolutely beneficial to the empire. Then this is real money now, and don't forget, Li Mengyang, the emperor, is still using troops against the United States, he wants to fight a national war, and this money will also help him a lot.

So the British have become second-hand dealers, which is equivalent to helping Li Mengyang, but what about Li Mengyang's opponent?

"What?! General Sherman was ambushed?! The 40,000 army is gone?! ”

In the White House in Washington, you can hear screams coming from the president's office from afar, and it is clear that President Lincoln is very shocked by this.

Yes, as the president of the United States, he is not surprised, that's more than 40,000 people.

"Mr. President, this ......" War Secretary Cameron was a little uncomfortable at this time, not because he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but because he felt that his old face had nowhere to rest.

Before, it was Cameron who advocated for Sherman to pursue, but now with such a result, how did he get off the stage?

To say that it has been two months since the end of the ambush in Mexico's Copper Valley, and now the military report has only arrived, it is entirely because of the slow transmission of information at this time.

You know, this is still General Sherman was not captured, he found the law of artillery at that time, and then fled all the way to the back, behind his army is the pack horse team, responsible for heavy weapons and equipment, so, these pack horses were not frightened to run around, so Sherman and Greg fled back to the United States on these horses.

The telegram was sent only when it arrived in the United States, and Del Nôt originally had a telegraph line, but where did Sherman dare to go back there? He had found Dias's party and returned from the lower reaches of the Rio Grande.

So, it's late in time, but the situation is ......

"Mr. President! The failure this time is completely because Sherman, a fool, despises his opponent! He led his troops into the ravine......"

Cameron is talking nonsense, he has never seen what the Copper Valley is like, if he has seen it with his own eyes, he will definitely slap his mouth, but fortunately, Lincoln doesn't know how vast the Copper Valley in Mexico is!

In this way, Cameron will not take his responsibility away, Gao.

But now is not the time to consider these questions, and is there any danger to the United States at this time?

I only heard the president ask, "Mr. Cameron, how much of a threat do you think that tyrant will pose to us?" Are we going to send more people to Texas? ”

Lincoln's question was normal, but Cameron's laugh.

"Mr. President! We're going to have to increase our manpower, but you're not too scared of that tyrant, that bastard wants to attack us, but it's not easy, haha......"

Yes?

Lincoln couldn't help but wonder if this was a comfort to Comrade Secretary of War.

Cameron naturally saw Lincoln's mentality, but he said confidently: "You can rest assured!" Mr. President, wars are not so easy to fight! ”

Why is Cameron so confident? (To be continued......)

PS: What's that, I also watched the big parade, and the black car said it was good, hehe...... Without further ado, please support, thank you!
