Chapter 1204 The Chance to Change British History
"My lord's words are justified. Our western company will increase the amount of tea leaves when we organize a trip to the West this time, and try to transport 50 pounds of tea there." Seeing that Chu Yun promised that the common people in Britain would also love tea, the director made a move. thought.

50 pounds of tea is not much for an ocean-going fleet, equivalent to more than 200 tons.

If 50 pounds of tea can be transported there, even if the price of tea in the British market is lowered, extremely lucrative profits can be obtained.

"You don't have to be so anxious. You can gradually increase the supply of tea to stimulate the local market, just like boiling frogs in warm water." Chu Yun can't guarantee that the common people in Europe can quickly accept the tea culture.

If Western companies shipped too much tea to Europe, and the excess tea could not be sold, wouldn't it be his fault?

"Then I'll buy 20 pounds of tea and try it." The director directly increased the tea export volume of Western companies by five times.

Chu Yun discussed the situation of the factory in Europe with the director of the Western company who had returned from London, and basically met no resistance.

Textiles, sugar, and steel are all just in demand. As long as the quality is qualified, they will definitely be able to sell.

"Our fleet expelled the Spaniards, Dutch, and Portuguese in the Spice Islands. Although they are busy with the war on the European continent and have no time to talk about the Spice Islands with us, they probably hold grudges against us secretly, at least not against us. We are friendly. Therefore, when your fleet is sailing in the Western Ocean, you must pay more attention to it, and take advantage of the contradictions among the countries to join forces." Chu Yun reminded.

"The villain understands." Seeing that Chu Yun has a deep understanding of Xiyang's affairs without leaving the house, the director is even more admirable.

After Chu Yun asked the director to leave, just as he was about to take a breath, the report of the accident in the engine factory was handed over to him.

Diesel engine research has encountered difficulties, the engine exploded during the test!And it is impossible to determine whether there is a problem with the structure or the strength of the parts is not enough.

"Fortunately, no fire was caused or any civilian casualties were caused. Diesel's application was approved and a factory for their diesel engine research team was prepared in the suburbs to prevent civilians from being affected." Chu Yun was also afraid for a while.

With the current [-]% of the wooden buildings in the capital, once a big fire breaks out, it is likely to spread to the whole city.

"Go back and tell Diesel that it's okay to encounter a little setback in the research of diesel engines. After all, there is no finished product or any ready-made technology to refer to. I will still invest in this project." Chu Yun didn't think the diesel engine exploded. , any technology will go through a lot of trial and failure before it matures.

What's more, Chu Yun can foresee the bright future of diesel engines, and the current investment can be doubled in the future.

It is said that automobile technology does not know where it has reached.

Some time ago, Daimler designed the first three-wheeled car, which used a vertical gasoline engine, and Chu Yun personally operated it.

Then car technology hit a low point, for several reasons, petrol reserves weren't enough, cars broke down too often, meaning people who were supposed to be driving out needed to get out and push them, and it was extremely expensive.Under the premise that the car itself and gasoline are expensive, using a car to pull goods or travel at this time is simply burning money.

A better solution is to find oil fields, exploit them in large quantities, and produce tankers to transport crude oil back to the mainland.Then we have to build oil refineries to refine crude oil and form a large amount of oil reserves.Then there is the development of the technology of the car itself.

For example, Ford Model T cars produced on cheap assembly lines... It is best to call Ford himself, and then bring the skills of assembly line management, which is also an intangible wealth.

It's just that there are still many technologies waiting for Chu Yun to unlock.

Alloy technologies such as aluminum alloys and tin alloys, plastics and related by-products, petroleum mining and refining technologies, and even high-quality steel smelting technologies all need to be improved.

Otherwise, even if Chu Yun can summon the technical talents to make satellites, it would be useless without suitable aviation materials and fuel.

And things in Europe also need to be dealt with by Chu Yun.

According to the current time, Chu Yun knew that if the course of British history was not seriously deflected because of him, then Charles I would continue to do it, and soon the Scottish Presbyterian Church would break with him, and the British Civil War would break out.

If he hadn't intervened, the Scottish Covenant Army would have defeated Charles I's royal army twice in a row, forcing Charles I to reorganize the parliament to fight for funds to reorganize the army to attack Scotland.

At this time, the conflict between the parliament and the king will break out, and the parliament will form a parliamentary army to fight the king's army, and then Scotland and Ireland will become fools.

In short, at this critical historical moment, the British Civil War was in chaos. The final result was that Charles I was executed by Parliament in Whitehall, and Cromwell stepped onto the stage of history.

It was also in the era of Cromwell that the Royal Navy regained strength and began to compete with the Dutch for maritime supremacy.

But now there is such an unstable factor as Chu Yun.

Chu Yun's decision can rewrite the course of British history.

So should we spend money to send people to help Charles I deal with the parliamentary army, or let nature take its course, as long as the parliament recognizes the treaty signed by Charles I?

Chu Yun was pacing in the vestibule, and any rash decision he made might cause Britain to deviate from its original track.

"My lord, what are you thinking?" Aila saw Chu Yun spreading in the courtyard, and came over.

"Of course I was thinking of you. After Da Yu'er moved in, we rarely had the chance to get along alone," Chu Yun said.

Ella took a sip: "Your Excellency is not thinking of me. When I returned home just now, I saw strange faces coming in and out. It must be related to political affairs."

"Ha, I can't hide it from you. Your intelligence office is going to send more people to Britain this time. You should know that the bishop's war and civil war will break out in Britain soon." Chu Yun said, holding her hand.

Ella, who is also from Britain, is probably no stranger to this point in time.

Aila saw that there were guards everywhere, her cheeks were slightly hot: "Since your lord is talking to me about something serious, you don't have to be so intimate, there are still many people watching around...the intelligence department has set up a fifth department, and we are ready to go City of London, I don’t know if your lord wants to stand in the king’s camp or the parliament’s camp this time..."

"In fact, no matter which side we stand on, we have corresponding countermeasures to ensure our interests. Which side do you want to stand on?" Chu Yun asked.
