1825 My New Daming

Chapter 281 The Battle of the Three Emperors——Financial Industry War (please subscribe for monthly ticket)
Just when the Duke of Wellington didn't know how to discuss with the ministers and MPs about kidnapping the emperor and seeking to usurp the throne, Robinson, who had been the chancellor of the exchequer for many years before becoming prime minister and who had close ties to the big capitalists in London, suddenly spoke: "Duke, before coming to 10 Downing Street, Lord Gray and I had exchanged opinions with the directors of the Bank of England and several other big bankers. The Emperor William of the Ming Dynasty was also the king of the United Kingdom, which was beneficial to the financial markets of London, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam to accept more Indian imperial bonds, and also conducive to the flow of Indian funds into the financial market of London. It's also very good for British industry... at least a lot more good than the United Kingdom going into battle in person."

The Duke of Wellington was stunned, "What do you mean? Frederick, what are you talking about?"

"Duke," said Robinson, "I mean the bankers and industrialists of the United Kingdom and Europe don't care who is the nominal empire on which the sun never sets. The United Kingdom or India, they don't care.

They only care about whether the war launched by the Indian Empire against the Ming Empire led by Emperor William will help the London financial market attract more capital, whether it can provide more orders for England's industries, and whether it will affect factories' employment of cheap labor and access to cheap raw materials.

At present, it seems that the judgments they have made are all positive and positive!So...Duke, I think you understand the situation now? "

Although the Duke of Wellington was born as an Irish aristocratic landowner (of course he is an Englishman, and almost all the land in Ireland is occupied by Protestant English nobles), he has been fighting in the army since then, and he is not very interested in finance and industry.But his ability to get to the current position has already shown that he has a full understanding of the strength of the Bank of England, the bankers based in London, and the industrialists entrenched in various parts of England.

Britain can have today's status because these bankers and industrialists chose Britain among European countries!
Britain has won so many wars in the past 100 years, relying on a large number of banks with the Bank of England as the core to raise war funds and the world's second largest British industry to provide advanced and sufficient weapons and equipment—in many cases Under the current situation, Britain will not send a large number of troops, but only pay for equipment for others to fight, and take advantage of it later.

And this time Britain's enemy is the giant Ming!

Moreover, this giant also has strong financial hegemony and industrial strength, and can also rely on the astonishing amount of gold and silver it has accumulated in the past hundreds of thousands of years and its financial strength that dominates the eastern world to raise enough war funds. The Ming court, which received war funds, could rely on Daming’s own industrial system to obtain sufficient weapons. And the capitalists of the Ming Dynasty, who made a lot of money by selling weapons, were also impossible because of the financial hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in the Eastern circles. The money was transferred out of Daming, so they had to buy bonds issued by the Ming court through financial institutions (they didn’t buy bonds, and financial institutions would buy them with the money they saved), thus forming a perfect closed loop.

Because of Ming's overpowering, British financial capital and industrial capital have been trying to avoid conflicts, and at the same time they want to support Japanese agents to touch Ming's tiger's ass.

As a result, as soon as Japan showed its paws, it was crushed and collected by the Ming Empire. The vicious dog that the British Empire had secretly fed for decades was now put on a chain and taken away by Daming.

But after this incident, Britain's financial capital and industrial capital can be regarded as knowing the strength of the Ming Empire!

Although Zhuge Weijiu started secret contacts with the financial consortium entrenched in Britain on behalf of the Zhuge family at this time, and offered to accept their surrender conditions. However, the war has not really started yet, and the time for surrender or compromise must not have come.

Moreover, the war with Daming is undoubtedly an opportunity for these capitals to make a fortune!
Even if the British Empire is defeated in the end, as long as they can harvest India and the whole of Europe before the British Empire disintegrates, and then take the huge wealth in their hands to the New World, France, Germany, and even Mexico, In South America, you can still go to Rakshasa if you really can’t.

What Emperor William did in India, although he did not discuss it with them, was beneficial to their actions to use war to harvest India and Europe.

So... who colonizes whom, who is the empire on which the sun never sets, what does it matter?

India, Mumbai, inside the Imperial Parliament building.

"Members of the Empire of India, the Duke of Wellington and the Archbishop of Canterbury have set out for India, and they have come to present me the Seal and Crown of the King of the United Kingdom. I shall be crowned King of the United Kingdom and King of Hanover at Bombay! After my coronation is complete, I will personally command the invincible Indian fleet to the Persian Gulf!

God and Brahma will bless us and India will be great again! "

Addressing a group of MPs from all over India was the burly, ambitious Kaiser William the Great India, who was having a great time being Emperor.

Early this morning, he received telegrams from the cabinet, the parliament, and the Anglican Church. They all expressed their allegiance to Emperor William, and they all supported Emperor William to sit in Mumbai, and at the same time let Victoria be a nominal regent in England.

In addition, the cabinet's telegram also mentioned the issue of issuing more Indian war bonds in London, Paris, and Frankfurt-the Indian bonds traded in European financial markets have all seen significant rises!
Obviously, the capital voted for Emperor William to stay in India to rule!

"Hooray! Hooray!"

"God bless the emperor!"

"Brahma bless the emperor!"

"True God (and God is a God) bless the Emperor!"

And after Emperor William announced that he would lead the Indian Grand Fleet to the Persian Gulf to find trouble with the Daming Persian Gulf Fleet after being crowned King of England and Hanover, the meeting hall of the parliament was even more jubilant.

Members of parliament from all over India gave a standing ovation, shouting long live, no one seemed to care how long it took for the emperor's words to reach the Great General Staff of the Ming Empire
"Emperor William of India said that he would send troops to the Persian Gulf after finishing his coronation in Mumbai. What do you think? Is he playing for real or bluffing? Daozi, you took the Persian Gulf. Tell me, can you defend it? Live? Don't lose the whole fleet!"

The person who asked Zhuge Weidao this question in the meeting room of the General Staff Headquarters was a general in his 60s with a gray beard, but he was quite energetic, with piercing eyes.

Zhuge Weidao replied confidently: "Liu Shangshu (he is the Minister of the Army Department), you can relax The four heavenly kingships we got from the Japanese were all converted into shallow water heavy gunships. A total of 8 300mm heavy guns were installed on the four ships, plus 8 32mm cannons owned by the 280 prince-class battleships, plus There are 32 240mm and 280mm heavy guns on the shore, and 5 state-level 15 210mm cannons, a total of 87 heavy guns over 200mm, and it is not difficult to guard two openings."

"Okay!" Liu Quanzhong said, "Since the Persian Gulf is so sure, then Malacca can slowly attack the British fortress step by step. Although it is difficult to crack, we have prepared 30 Japanese soldiers. It’s piled up too! The problem now is that when the emperor summoned me yesterday, he said that he wanted to go on a personal conquest, and General Tokugawa in Japan also called me early this morning, saying that their Shizuki son, the Emperor, would also go on a personal conquest. Tell me, what happened to this?"

Like Zhuge Weidao, Mu Zhongjun, who is also the deputy chief of the general staff, immediately took over the question and said, "Let's conscript. India's Emperor William personally conscripted, Japan's Emperor Shizuko personally conscripted, our Taiping Emperor can not personally conscript Could it be that the dignified young emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as a bad old man from Xiyi and a half-old lady from Dongyi? Daozi, what do you think?"

This Mu Zhongjun was not polite, and immediately threw the problem to Zhuge Weidao.

Zhuge Weidao had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Then let's conquer it yourself, but don't conquer too far, just march 30 miles west from the Forbidden City, and go to Xishan Palace to sit in town!"
