Chapter 389: Is there anything else you don't want

If Christina were a student of economics in the 21st century, especially a Keynesian monetarist, she would have howled anxiously: "What else do you kid want!" ”

The so-called offshore RMB center is not a warm gadget, with China's energy and volume, it means that it directly grasps the economic lifeline of the United Kingdom.

The financial center is a double-edged sword, the funds he absorbs can instantly turn a barren land, a small fishing port into a world-famous city, but the disadvantage is that the financial center of the financial city often means controlling everything in a country.

This truth is very simple, no matter what you have, you have a value, you are working hard to start a business, people go directly to the bank, write a line of numbers, and buy your industry.

By indiscriminately issuing money and reducing monetary preparations, the value of the same industry continues to rise and fall, just as Warren Buffett took advantage of the financial crisis in the 80s to embrace the low-value Coca-Cola, and when the crisis passes, the value of Coca-Cola's stock soars, which is majestic and invincible in the world.

But Christina is still a woman and can't understand such a profound thing, although banks are also an important part of the national economy at this time, but the concept of a central bank will not be opened up until at least a year or two later, and private small banks are the mainstream at this time.

Once a country does not form an official currency, without a central bank, let a group of Chinese open a large number of so-called offshore RMB centers in the country, then rely on this strong and value-preserving monetary system, coupled with flexible operations, in some cases, gradually take the core assets of the United Kingdom in their hands, when the time comes, the British people must consider the opinions of these people when eating and drinking, otherwise, garlic you ruthless, beans you play, ginger you army do you think it is fun?

But Christina is just a young girl, and even a few years ago she was just an ordinary junior officer, the only daughter of a small nobleman, how could she have this knowledge, so she could only grit her teeth and say: "Okay, I'll try it and explain it to my king, but this kind of thing, I suggest that you better go to the north and talk to him in detail." ”

Xu Hao shook his head and said: "I'm really sorry for this, I still have something to do here, if it goes well next year, I'm just afraid that I will go around Europe, you know, I have my own mission, and I have to go to the Mediterranean." ”

"But at that time," said Christina, "the king was afraid that he would be defeated. ”

Xu Hao said: "Then I can't help it, can I help you directly, this is aggression, I can't do this kind of thing myself." ”

Christina said, "Well, how many of these rifles you have on board, we will buy them all, and those other weapons, if we can." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "The king still has money?" Looks like your family isn't big. ”

Xu Hao has information, the reason why Charles I made everyone rebel and leave, and finally overturned, becoming the only king to be executed in British history is that he has no money, and he wants to open a parliament to get money in his hands, and when he enters the parliament, he dares to say anything, and gradually in addition to the problem of money, there are more miscellaneous words.

Being burned to death by the fire he lit is definitely the saddest fact, Charles I at this time, basically has no money and no soldiers, and the most terrible thing is that he can marry a pagan as a wife, and he can also offend people of both religions and do not please both sides. (Anglican and Catholic contradictions)

The imperial capital secretly used the spaceship to transport a lot of rifles, and many good things, but in the end how to operate, to maximize the interests of the presbyterian church, this point, Xu Hao has not thought about it, and the imperial capital can't think about it, Cromwell, who originally conformed to history and suppressed the future to hold the power of Britain for more than ten years, is definitely an act with a high rate of return, no matter who is in power, the war between the British and the Dutch can no longer be stopped, not only unstoppable, even if the emerging bourgeoisie in Britain is in a civil war, There was also occasional talk about how to overturn the bright future of the Dutch, and at least Cromwell was preparing for a major expansion of the British navy and army forces in preparation for future operations.

The reason why Xu Hao knew something was because they diligently asked Xu Hao to provide military technology, and the more deeply they studied the Liaoning, the more they felt that the design of this ship was more reasonable, and the streamlined hull and the structure of multiple water tanks also provided safety, not to mention others.

If it weren't for Xu Hao always tightening this string and ordering people to guard it at all times, the Liaoning would have been directly snatched away by the coveted British, even so, Cromwell was still making an offer, and inadvertently told a lot of truths, the war was to target the Dutch, as a proof that there was no malice towards China.

I thank you for not having bad intentions, and for coming all the way to sell opium.

Xu Hao sneered secretly, worthy of being the overlord who will dominate the world in the future, just such a figure who has been in power for more than ten years, and he is also a hero, of course, he has even aroused curiosity and covetousness in the mysterious China, and his behavior is constantly being tested every day, Xu Hao has nothing to say, but Christina is not easy to say here, she really didn't get enough chips, so she gave her things.

Once the new rifle was used in the English Civil War, their secret hookup with Charles I was bound to be exposed, of course, the exposure was exposed, but many things could not continue to exert influence, and it was not fun to tear the face.

What can be done to maximize the interests of the Presbyterian Church?

Xu Hao suddenly said slowly: "Ha, Christina, I thought we were friends. ”

Christina's eyes widened, and she suddenly came closer, took his hand, and said, "Of course we are friends. ”

Xu Hao secretly swallowed his saliva, compared to the girls of this era, the openness and self-reliance of foreign girls are amazing, at least they suit his appetite, and it can't be said that he is not moved.

Still pushed it away, rejected the sugar-coated shell, and said: "Okay, I still have 3,000 rifles, 100 million rounds of ammunition, and some simple equipment on my ship, which is easy to use, but it is an ammunition reserve for self-defense on the road, and it cannot be sold." ”

Christina immediately said, "Sell it all to me!" ”

Xu Hao said: "But what about money? ”

Christina had a cold face and said, "The kingdom is rich all over the world, so naturally it will not treat you badly." ”

Xu Hao said: "I'm sorry, I want cash, well, at least something I can see, not a fluttering promise." ”

Christina said: "How much money you want, as long as you defeat those traitors, it is not a problem." ”

According to the judgment of the elders in the rear, Charles I is basically lost, unless the elders really don't want to play interventionism directly and put the entire British long-term parliament in a pot, but then we have to consider the possibility that this Charles I will be treacherous and thrown away when it runs out, and we have to consider the possibility of being hostile to the whole of Europe, after all, for the time being, it is still a stable development.

Then, we must consider the issue of profit maximization.

Xu Hao suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we are not short of money." ”

He said slowly: "You know, we control many gold mines, some gold mines, which have not been explored by humans for thousands of years, and the gold there is directly a small piece of rich ore, and some mines and entire mountains are gold mines. ”

Christina knew that the other party had money, but this statement also surprised her even more, and she had prepared a lot of rhetoric before: "But that's just your country, not necessarily you, we can give you ......"

Xu Hao waved his hand and said, "What do I want money for?" ”

Xu Hao has always been a model of eating public meals, even in the new time and space, considering that everyone needs to spend their energy on conquering cities and conquering cities, all of them are used in their own small days, which is too wasteful, so basically a few people are responsible for life matters, and even the housing is built in a standardized manner, striving to let everyone spend less time on small things in private, and think more about the benefits of foreign wars.

For Xu Hao, there is no need to engage in private property, although as someone who knows that he can't go back to his hometown, the beauty of the entire universe for them to explore, and the world-class wealth is open to them, any bribe can be compared to directly carving up a planet?

So, bribing the elders, that is to say, is just talking.

Christina said, "Well, then, please make an offer, how can you give it all your strength to support the king's cause?" ”

Xu Hao remembered what Li Xiangqian said, there is a lack of negotiators among them, it is difficult to find out the bottom line of the other party, those games and negotiations can not be done by anyone, so it is said that at the beginning of the 21st century, China and the United States had difficult negotiations, WTO accession negotiations, the most critical moment, an inadvertent expression of an American representative, leaked the bottom line of the US negotiations, so the Chinese side seized the opportunity to reap great benefits.

But they can cheat.

As far as Xu Hao was told, what they could get in England could basically only be counted on Charles II, the restored king, and as for the first generation, the oil had already run out, even if he was asked to sign any treaty, what should he say in the end? Therefore, the problem is that the Council of Elders lacks the strength to send a modern army that has always been at their disposal thousands of miles away, far beyond their ability.

Suddenly, he looked at her mischievously, his face turned red, and he boldly said, "Tina, what would you do if my request was you?" ”

When he spoke, he laughed evilly.

Christina didn't quite understand what she meant at first, but when she made it clear what Xu Hao meant, she immediately turned her head in shame and didn't want to talk.

Xu Hao was just about to say his conditions, but in fact, they didn't ask for much, but he saw the girl in front of him turn her head, her eyes were red, she seemed to be very excited, and said: "It turns out that you are such a person, I always thought you were a gentleman......"

What she is referring to is that these days, the two have pretended to be in love with each other in order to avoid everyone's eyes, and Xu Hao did not take the opportunity to rub oil during this contact, but he also won a lot of favor.

Xu Hao wanted to explain, but the girl said: "I promise you, as long as you give all your weapons to the king and give the king support, then I will be yours." ”

Xu Hao felt as if he had done something wrong, and immediately said, "No, I was joking just now." After saying this, he immediately regretted that such a beauty didn't dare to start when he got it, what kind of sin he was making.

Christina seemed to be suspicious of him, a little incredulous, and said, "Jokes? ”

"Well, in fact, I must explain that it is my own decision, and I have a few conditions for handing over the weapon to you."

"You say."

Xu Hao snapped his fingers and said: "First, I ask that this matter not affect me, as long as the king's family knows about it, I don't want to cut off the business with London, in fact, those weapons may help you form a musket unit, but still can't beat London, what I hope is that your king finds a place to defend, keep a bridgehead, and save himself is the ability." ”

This is true, if London can continue to fight for three years, after three years, the imperial capital can send a modern or even modern army anyway, directly sweep either side of the two sides, and firmly occupy Britain, the eye of the storm that can balance the whole of Europe.

It's nothing more than a lack of excuses.

Is it really to study with my British and fight the Opium War in the 17th century? That reputation.

"Second, I really don't ask for much, we have started some companies, of course these companies want to do business with Europe, it is better to have their headquarters in England, I think it is good, I hope to get some assurances, even if the king's family wins in the end, the agreement we signed with Parliament, it is better not to violate."

Christina immediately replied: "I can guarantee this, in fact, there are not a few people in London who have their hearts set on the king, and many people are dealing with the traitors, and the royal family will not care about this." ”

"Also, I can deliver the rifle and have enough bullets, but there must be a way to cover it up, after all, as soon as the gun is fired, I am the first suspect, and his people will know full well that these weapons must come from me, and they can't be from Europe."

Christina nodded and said, "Just these three." ”

Xu Hao also has self-knowledge in his heart, at this time, the defeat of Charles I is just a countdown, what can he get, he can only count on the future accession to the throne of Charles II, of course, he can't say directly, let your son come to China to study, as soon as the words come out, no one will think that it is studying abroad, but only the word hostage.
