Why did Li Mengyang relent?

This matter is also very understandable, because Li Mengyang thinks that with the current historical development, the future development of the Manchu Qing Dynasty may not be too good, because the Tongzhi Zhongxing, which should have appeared, did not come out, and the Westernization Movement was not done too well, and there was no atmosphere of the rise of a great power in terms of national strength.

And now on the Japanese side, if there is no big problem, they will enter militarism earlier, that is, there is no need to wait for Meiji's grandson, he himself is afraid that this matter will be done!

So what does the future hold?

Won't Japan invade China? Naito, who wanted to develop into a maritime country, is dead.

So once the invasion of China, will the Manchu Qing Dynasty live? How many people have to die?

Li Mengyang now wants to sell warships to the Manchus, to put it bluntly, he wants to increase the strength of the Manchus, so that they can hold on in the future war, at least have the strength to fight.

This is really not for the sake of the rotten Manchu government, but for the sake of the common people, really...... Of course, maybe it's a little bit of a virgin's touch, Li Mengyang himself thinks so, but when it comes to the sake of the eyes in front of him, he doesn't do anything?

He really can't get over it with his conscience!

And then again, when it comes to the matter of selling warships, didn't they negotiate with the British about five ships before, which is true, but it was not like this at the beginning, the British were very bad at the beginning, they only need to buy one!

What does this mean?

Cottages, they just want to copy you, that's why they only buy one!

It's okay to say that other countries are fine, but in the UK, these guys have access to electricity now. Maybe some aspects aren't pure enough. But the Brits are really strong right now. They want to knock you off...... They will say that Lao Tzu is all copied by others!

Of course, Li Mengyang disagreed, so he offered a price, five ships, less than five ships are not negotiable! And I want 500 tons of gold!

500 tons of gold, that's 500 million gold francs, but the pound is awesome. That's just under 70 million pounds!

But this is also a lot of money, it can be said that the sky-high price of today's international trade, although it is said that it can be paid in installments, but so big mouth, will the British pay the bill?

Don't say it, the British are really bold and buy it sometimes!

Actually, from the point of view of the British, they have to buy, absolutely have to buy.

It's obvious. A steel giant like the USS San Francisco is the most advanced warship in the world today. And the British Empire, the overlord of the sea, if it does not have the most advanced warships, how can it be this maritime hegemon?

So five is five! 500 tons of gold is 500 tons of gold!

The British admit it, and ah, in fact, they are not stupid, you know, in this year, there are not many people in Europe doing business with the American Empire, such as such a giant warship, then there is no second person to have a source of goods, so, the British are equivalent to a monopoly position, what Disraeli said to Queen Victoria at the time was, we buy it back, study it and then sell these ships, the price......

Flip it over!

I have to say that the British chicken thief......

The key problem is that in this era, it is very difficult to build such a warship, the future prospects of this kind of warship are very good, and as long as you understand a little bit of technology, you can see that there is still a lot of room for technical improvement of this kind of warship, so the British are not unjust at all with this money!

From this point of view, such a warship is definitely a sought-after commodity in the world, and other countries will probably come to buy it if they have the opportunity, so what is the attitude of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? What did Li Hongzhang say?

This kind of overseas trade, that talk about at least a few months, the key is to waste time on the way back and forth, until Strauss comes back to inform the result......

Don't buy it!

Li Hongzhang just doesn't buy it, and this is not a price problem, isn't it 100 million to sell the British, Li Mengyang said before, we can give a price concession, 10 million gold francs a ship, that's it!

The price of one-tenth is definitely the price of cabbage, but Li Hongzhang just doesn't let go, and his head shakes like a rattle!

"What is the reason?" When Li Mengyang heard this result, he was a little uncomfortable, but why did he know?

"That's the reason...... Strauss was also defeated this time, and his face was not good-looking, but he still had to talk about it.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, 'I would rather give a thief to a house slave'!

To put it bluntly, Lao Tzu is a Qing Dynasty, so I won't do business with you, the new Tang Kingdom, what do you like!

But this reason is obviously superficial, because the Qing Dynasty and the New Tang Dynasty are doing business, the previous textile business, and later there are some individual businesses with Lala, and the car is not sold, because there is no way to refuel.

What is the reason behind the countertop?

To put it simply, it's this kind of warship of your New Tang Dynasty, it's good, Li Hongzhang also admits this, he also knows, it's majestic, and it scares the foreigners away, but the problem is too good!

You said that such a good battleship has to be approved by the Qing court, so how can the origin of this battleship be hidden?

This involves a loophole in international trade now, but this loophole is not a loophole, that is, international trade at this time does not need to be labeled with the place of origin!

The matter of origin, that is, of course, where the goods are produced, but you must know that in the previous international trade, you don't need to mark this thing, not at all.

Therefore, when the British foreign cloth arrived in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the common people used it and they didn't know that it was made in the UK, they just knew that this thing seemed to be cheap, and there was no MADE-IN-UK logo on it, but to be honest, even if there were, most Chinese people couldn't understand it at this time.

Because of this, the empire secretly helped the south back then, and the place of origin can be casually marked with Cuba, which is not illegal, not illegal at all.

As far as this place of origin is concerned, everyone thinks it's not very important, it's nothing, but recently this matter has become a bit important.

To put it simply, the British can't stand it a little, because of the newly rising German Empire, these eight calves are copycats of our British goods, and we British people are very big, the key is that the quality of the things that come out of the cottage is worse than that produced in the UK, although it is not much, but the Germans' goods are sold cheaply.

As a result, the British are ready to engage in a rule of origin, and this matter, because there is more trade between Britain and the Empire now, so the two sides are also talking, that is...... In fact, the empire is also a copycat of many British products......

It's a matter of fact, it turns out that you British are the world's factory, but our empire is okay, after all, many of our things are high-tech in this era, that is, the theory has just been made, and our side has produced it, and the copycats are powerful, in fact, they are some enterprise factories in the original United States era.

Then this rule of origin has not been made after all, but this battleship ......

Now this thing is 'the only one of the scorpion poop', even if you don't mark the place of origin, but you can't hide it, although Cixi's old lady has no knowledge, but if others blow a little wind with her, then Li Hongzhang will die!

"Hey~" After hearing these things, Li Mengyang couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, he wanted to help the Manchus, although his real purpose was to hope that the Chinese nation would shed less blood, but it was ...... This Manchu Qing is really so rotten that there is no way to cure it! You love it!

Helpless, really deep helplessness!

To tell the truth, Li Mengyang really wanted to gather all the people, and then go to the Far East to discuss and kill the Manchu court directly.

However, as long as you are a sane person, you know that now Li Mengyang can't do this at all, and if he does this, it's over!

The current empire has just breathed a sigh of relief from a state of ruin, and it can be said that there are a lot of things that need to be done, no matter what era it is, so it's not like you announced a policy and then it will take effect immediately? How is this still a panacea?

Li Mengyang, the emperor, and some of the policies he came up with before were actually beneficial to us Chinese and greatly helped the development of the New Tang Dynasty, but if these policies were to produce results, it would not happen overnight.

How could he, the emperor, move at this time? He has to keep an eye on the current development of the empire, and there is a problem with the old nose here!

No one can do anything to make a society go from chaos to great governance in no time, there is no such thing in ancient and modern China and abroad, it is all step by step, and don't forget, the current United States has not been completely extinguished by you Li Mengyang!

Don't look at the Empire doing business with the British, it's a lot of fun, but the British, these guys are bad, they still don't recognize your empire until now, they still recognize the United States!

And there is still a basis for it, because from a legal point of view, the United States is not completely destroyed now, isn't your empire also under the sign of inheriting the United States? Well, then, it is only legal for us to recognize the United States.

If you want to talk about this, Li Mengyang thinks that after the founding of New China in later generations, Lao Jiang ran to Baodao, and as a result, such a big place stayed in the Security Council, which is simply ...... Isn't it just your Yankee two votes?

So, the Europeans are playing a lot of losses in this regard......

"Your Majesty! There is a great thing! ”

Just when Li Mengyang was depressed, the guy Liszt ran over with a very happy expression.

"What's the good thing?" Li Mengyang is very confused.

"Your Majesty! Austria-Hungary is coming! ”

"Austria-Hungary?"

Oh yes! I still seem to have that Grand Duke Maximiliano in my hands! (To be continued......)
