Chapter 1202 Britain doesn't want to sell
Xinki was worried about one problem, not only him, but now, Green was also worried about it. net
When Green received this record, he had privately calculated such an account. If it were all made, it would cost tens of billions of pounds, and if it were to be bought, it would cost even more.
Green was happy to get the Navy's increased budget, but at the same time, he was full of worries.
Green's concern is how the increase in so many warships can be accomplished in three to five years. This seems simple, but when you do it, there is a big problem, not to mention the others, it is so much money, it is a problem.
Borrowing, this thing doesn't make sense, and people won't necessarily borrow and increase taxes, which can't solve the problem. Everything is a difficult question.
"President, congratulations on accomplishing an ambitious goal." Secretary of State Shinki laughed as he walked in from outside.
Congratulations should be congratulated, but the problem still exists, he once thought that increasing the navy was too simple, and Green, who smiled bitterly, handed the documents passed by the Ministry of Finance, the Admiralty and other departments on the table to Xinki.
Nima so much? Xinki was also shocked to see your number above. This navy is simply a bottomless pit. No matter how much money you have, you can't be satisfied.
"President, isn't it too much?" Cinki, who swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked up and said.
Many? This is the least, and hearing what Sinkey said, Green shook his head helplessly.
When I didn't increase the navy, I wanted to increase the navy's military spending, but when this thing really came true, I was reluctant to pay for it.
It's depressing. Green touched his head and sat down in his chair really not to want the United States to be like this.
It must not be so easy for the United States to increase the naval budget, thinking of this, Churchill picked up the telegram in his hand again, and he wanted to give the document in his hand to the minister.
In the office, Xiangyi, who was very disgusted with Churchill, saw Churchill's figure walking around the courtyard, and immediately felt very dissatisfied in his heart, however, dissatisfied is not satisfied, he can't help but see this Churchill. After all, he is also a person with a certain background, and he is the most popular figure under his predecessor, but he can't see Churchill's personality of fighting and killing, so after he came to power, he kicked him out of the decision-making level and went directly to become the director of the intelligence bureau.
"What is the matter with old friends coming here today?" The prime minister, who returned to his chair, asked with a hypocritical smile when Churchill came in.
After working together for a long time, both sides understand very well whether this is hypocrisy, but Churchill does not care about this hypocrisy, and there is something wrong with him coming here today.
Smiling slightly, Churchill handed the telegram in his hand to the prime minister in front of him and said, "Minister, a piece of unfortunate news for Britain. Very unfortunate news. ”
Nima, the United States is just going to expand the navy, but in the hands of Churchill, it is not an ordinary problem, but rises to the problem of the misfortune of Britain, and this kind of terrible words can only be said by Churchill.
This is the fear that the world will not be chaotic, and what I hate the most is this kind of thing, which is very disgusting.
No matter what Churchill said, he was indeed taken aback. Although he did not like Churchill, he was interested in Britain. He still likes it very much.
So, with a false smile on his face, he took the message from the table and began to watch it.
"Your Excellency. The U.S. Congress approved the Navy Expansion Program. The president has already approved it. ”
Paralyzed, he read the telegram and Churchill's narration, and immediately felt angry in his heart.
This is really sad news.
Although the United States is a little far away from Britain, this has always affected Britain's interests, and the expansion of the navy is a slap in the face, looking at what the United States means, this is trying to be on an equal footing with itself, which is absolutely impossible.
"Check, check for me, what is their plan to expand the navy, and how much are they going to add? After bowing his head and thinking about it, he put down the message in his hand and said to Churchill in front of him.
For the first time, Xiang didn't contradict himself. Churchill was even a little surprised when he heard this, but he still nodded, and then turned and walked out.
When Churchill left, he put the telegram on the table to the side, then pointed to the adjutant in front of him and said, "Call the Secretary of the Navy and the Chancellor of the Exchequer to meet me." ”
Xiang is also in a hurry, this matter is not a trivial matter, it affects the interests of its own country, the United States said that it is to increase the 6th Army, so whatever, increase as much as you like, this has no impact on yourself. After all, their navy will not be stupid to swim a few times to clean themselves up.
But the navy is different, the navy is a threat. No matter where they are, people can take care of themselves, not to mention that Britain has been fighting with the United States for so many years.
Damn, it doesn't make people live in peace at all. How good the hell are you to show the 6th Army. With a curse, he picked up the coffee that was about to cool next to him and drank it all.
The British minister is not a fool, he knows that the United States is not the Holy Chinese Empire, the Holy Chinese Empire has a sound shipbuilding system, and even in some respects, it surpasses the British, especially the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the Dalian Shipyard. This is the largest shipyard in Asia. Even in the world, it can be ranked. Therefore, the expansion of the navy of the Holy Chinese Empire has no way to stop it at all, and there is nothing that can be done.
But the United States is different, although the United States was established much earlier than the Holy Chinese Empire, but because they do not attach importance to the navy, they are not well-equipped. Therefore, if the United States wants to build a large warship, there are only two ways, one is to try to build it, and the other is to buy it. We should not lose the interests of the entire country because of some small interests.
It's not that Britain doesn't want to sell warships, but it depends on the situation, when the Qing Kingdom bought warships with itself, he agreed to sell them, but people didn't want it, at that time, his own country would definitely do a good job, but many years have passed, Britain has already had an opponent, and it can no longer support a potential opponent, and no one will do such a thing.
The U.S. Navy has been strengthened, and it will be itself that will suffer in the future. This thing must not be done.
