A few days followed

Li Fushou and the imperial concubine Nicole attended the grand welcome banquet hosted by King George V of the United Kingdom. On the morning of the next day, they inspected the guard of honor of the British royal family, held formal talks on international issues of concern, participated in the summer polo activities of the British royal family, and met with the kings and grand dukes of many countries in exile in London.

A week after arriving in London

The Emperor of the Ocean Empire and his entourage left London to visit the cities of northeastern England and Scotland......

meanwhile

The accompanying heads of government have already left for Paris to hold emergency closed-door meetings with the new British Prime Minister, David Law, Earl George, and French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, to reach a mutual understanding on the post-war world situation, post-war arrangements for Germany, and war reparations.

On the issue of the post-war world pattern, Britain, France, and other countries expressed respect for the core interests of the Ocean Empire in the Pacific and surrounding areas, recognized the leading role of the Pacific National Security Alliance in regional policy, and made key concessions on this issue.

The Ocean Empire expressed its gratitude for this and reaffirmed its respect for it, and its commitment to safeguarding the interests of Britain and France in the Pacific region and the Far East, as well as to maintaining regional peace......

On this premise

The Ocean Empire expressed its respect for the leading role of Britain in the Indian Ocean region, the position of Britain, France and other countries on European regional issues, and hoped to be understood on the issue of the Republic of Crimea and to reach a consensus on the Libyan issue......

The post-war world was redrawn

The Ocean Empire's achievement of internationally recognized dominance in the Pacific was one of the great rewards of the victorious powers.

And London, as the traditional hegemon of the world's oceans, London's dominance in the Indian and Atlantic oceans was also recognized by France and the oceanic empire, and maintained enough awe.

It is quite to be expected that the closed-door meeting will be a fierce bargain, with Libya as the focal point, as well as the coordination of positions in the Balkan states, the civil war in Tsarist Russia, and the Far East.

The main contradictions between the three major powers of Britain and France were the German war reparations and economic recovery, the North American question and the Libyan question.

France, which suffered the most from the war, advocated severe sanctions against Germany and demanded astronomical war reparations, which was opposed by Britain and the United States.

From the perspective of the "continental equilibrium policy," Britain did not want to weaken Germany too much, and this caused great dissatisfaction in France, and Britain and France, which had fought side by side, became suspicious of each other, and a deep rift appeared in bilateral relations.

The French felt a deep sorrow that their great sacrifice had not been rewarded with the understanding of their British and foreign allies, which made the Gauls feel lonely and sad, and more discouraged.

From the perspective of the Ocean Empire

Post-war European policy will be based on relations with Germany and France, and neither wants to weaken Germany too much, nor does it want to offend France, so it can only be a peacemaker.

He expressed his desire to assume greater responsibility for the post-war Franco-German economic recovery, and pledged to establish a long-term low-interest government loan with a total amount of 2 billion gold oceans to help with post-war recovery and construction.

The government's preferential low-interest loan, with an annual interest rate as low as 3.5%, is mainly used for the import of materials from the ocean empire by France and Germany, the restoration of large-scale infrastructure construction, and the resumption of coal and steel mine production, which will be issued in the form of special approval.

The reason why it is so generous is that the Ocean Empire also has its own little ninety-nine.

Today's Deutsche Mark and French franc areas have depreciated sharply due to the war, and regional trade has shrunk sharply, which is the best time for Goldjoy to expand, which is conducive to the substantial growth of Goldjoy's settlement ratio in international trade and seize the traditional market of Mark and Franc.

The tradition of international trade has its own inherent continuity, and it is extremely difficult to shake the throne of the strong currency Jinyang after it has gained international recognition and occupied the mainstream position of international trade.

Unless the Ocean Empire plummets in power or loses Britain in global competition, its dominance will be hard to shake.

At the end of the previous year

Goldjoy's share in international settlements has been as high as 39.2%, surpassing the British pound to become the largest hard currency in international trade, but it is very difficult to go further.

One possibility is to erode the traditional market for the pound, a sterling trading circle made up of the British Empire's colonies around the world, whose influence is entrenched and belongs to the fundamentals of the pound.

Another possibility is to erode the trade market between the former Central Powers, which is a trade circle dominated by the German mark, including Germany, Austria, Hungary and many other newly split European republics.

At the same time, taking advantage of the weakness of the franc, it eroded the franc trade circle.

The government's low-interest loans totaling 2 billion gold oceans are the pioneer of the empire's monetary policy and the most powerful killer.

The war has beaten Europe to a thousand holes, and they are all in debt, and the Ocean Empire has become the creditor of almost all European countries, the real nouveau riche, and only he can easily take out billions of gold oceans to help Europe recover and rebuild.

It is precisely because the Ocean Empire has money that it led the post-war reconstruction of Germany, organized relief, and put on the appearance of helping with all its might, so as to deeply integrate the influence into it.

On the one hand, France and Britain were dismantling German factory equipment on a large scale, and obtained coal and steel quotas free of charge to make up for some of the losses in the war.

On the one hand, the Ocean Empire is in stark contrast to the fact that it has made every effort to help the socially needy, organized relief and disaster relief in various cities, provided part of the work in the recovery and reconstruction process, and was friendly to high-level intellectuals, providing one-way ferry tickets to work in the Ocean Empire.

The contrast between what the victorious countries did was huge, and they reaped a large wave of goodwill for the Ocean Empire and improved their positive image.

Post-war Europe, especially the newly independent twenty or so small states, had a lot of work to do, which provided the best stage for the empire.

The government's economic work assistance team, led by the Royal Academy of Administration, went to various countries to pass on advanced administrative experience, urban construction planning experience, national management experience, and democratic construction experience, and help them convert from the old feudal administrative system and establish a democratic government with rules to follow.

In the process

The unimpeded entry of the goods of the ocean empires into the markets of various countries, and the power of banking and finance also entered, providing these emerging nation-states with the necessary financial credit, restoring social order, and creating jobs.

This is all something that Britain and France and other countries disdain to do, or are unable to do, and the Ocean Empire rushes to do it, and it performs very well.

This kind of selfless act of helping has won a good reputation.
