Seventy-five, the treacherous clouds (3)
Prime Minister Henry played with the gold-rimmed glasses in his hand and thought for a moment, "I need a workable report and action plan to explain this, I don't want to cause instability in this cabinet because of the high price, understand?" Money is not an issue. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I think this matter needs to be carried out immediately, it is best to let China's economy suffer frost before the arrival of reinforcements, which will have a good effect on the next war situation, then, next, let the Chinese see our means! ā
The Minister of Finance is very calm, he is a very professional financial person, what he needs is to manage every money, "There is no problem with the expenditure of the treasury for the time being, but the Prime Minister should be very clear that our 200 million francs of war appropriation, in fact, the cash expenditure only occupies a very small part of it, most of it is mortgaged with warships and troops and some basic equipment, but I want to tell you that the treasury can hold on to a large battle, But it is impossible to sustain a protracted war that will last for several years, and this is a terrible problem for the finances, which have paid all their savings and the potential for the future, and have only been able to recover in the years. ā
"Of course, I know this very well, so these two hundred million francs are just to scare and scare the Chinese," Henry said with a shrug, "but you can't deny that the economic stimulus of overseas wars is very huge, and the gunpowder and ordnance, as well as the industry mentioned in the Minister of Agriculture's plan, will also benefit, and we will only pay some casualties at most, which are insignificant." Henry continued, "As long as we win, not only Vietnam is our territory, but also the Chinese will inevitably pay a high price, and I personally strongly disagree with Spain and Portugal seizing the world's wealth for their own squandering, but if China pays a high war reparations to France, I think it is worth squandering, and we can even use this money to redeem Alsace and Lorraine from Berlin." ā
The Chancellor of the Exchequer shook his head, "Then it all depends on the victory in the war in the East." ā
"We will definitely win, we have a stronger navy than them, and an army that has mastered modern military technology concepts, there is no doubt about that, but, of course, we need to be cautious and not let the Chinese use trickery to win."
The weather in Beijing, since the first month, gradually got better, although it is the first month of the heavy snowfall, the weather is poor, but in February, in addition to the wind and sand are bigger, the weather in Beijing is getting better day by day, there is a kind of swallow on the front door building, the people of Sijiu City call it "sitting swallow", as the name suggests, it is not the swallow that moves south, only live in Beijing, this swallow will send out a rustling swallow, so it is also called a swallow, said for a long time, it becomes a "silly swallow." ā
This kind of swallow is everywhere, in the early spring of February, the sand swallow will come out to move, build a new nest everywhere, in front of the Jiale Hall of Prince Gong's mansion, I don't know when this pair of sand swallows also came, whispering and flying around, just under the eaves to bring the spring mud to build a nest, the spring light rain, the clothes are not wet, the smoke is hazy, to the illustrious palace has added a few sorrows, a month ago Prince Gong's mansion was still full of friends, the traffic was busy, but it was a few days, the world was hot and cold, not only Prince Gong, even the servants in the house also felt this.
Prince Gong stood under the corridor, put on a piece of clothing, and looked at the sand swallows flying in the air with his hands behind his back, the swallows made a rustling sound, Prince Gong somehow, suddenly remembered a sentence of the Song people, "The falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying", and muttered two words, and he was a little stupid.
The butler raised his head slightly, saw a pair of flying swallows, and said, "This swallow is hateful, and the slave will let someone smash his nest." ā
"What are you doing with him, keep it, is there such a living creature in this palace, I am usually idle, but I can come and take a look at this stupid swallow." Prince Gong said boredly.
"Where's Zaicheng? Are you home? Prince Gong thought of his son and asked.
"Uncle is only afraid that he is still on an errand in the palace this time," the housekeeper hurriedly lied, "I haven't come back yet." ā
"He's been on this errand for half a month, and he hasn't come back?" Prince Gong snorted slightly, "It seems that my son can't stand it now," he sighed, "He can live his own life." ā
The whole person was depressed, obviously the successive blows had a good impact on him, the housekeeper didn't know how to persuade, so he had to stand and not speak, at this time, the housekeeper walked over in small steps, bowed slightly, and said happily, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Bao has made a post, please go to the western suburbs to step on the spring, and by the way, take a look at Lu You's Qingming poems." ā
Bao Jun is the same as driving all errands, Zhi Shi is at home, according to the age, should have almost been old-aged, but this seems to be a little unacceptable, Prince Gong knows Bao Jun's temperament, the western suburbs of the spring trip, this is nothing more than to show the outside that Bao Jun is free and easy, not to put fame and fortune in his eyes, and the Minister of Military Aircraft is also so calm posture when he retires. Prince Gong shook his head, "You just go back and tell the person who came that my body is not good, and next time I will invite the husband to eat and drink." ā
It's just that after a while, Prince Gong just sat down, read a few pages of Song Ci, and the housekeeper came to report again, saying that Bao Jun had arrived in person, Prince Gong was very surprised, he didn't make an appointment, and he went straight to someone else's mansion after the post, which was very rude, of course, the relationship between the two has gone beyond this kind of vulgar etiquette, Prince Gong naturally will not blame, but Bao Jun's behavior has never been like this.
Bao Jun's face is much worse than before, it used to be rich and red, although it is still very fat now, but the flesh on his face is much looser, it can be seen how much the loss of power has affected him, Bao Jun went to Prince Gong's study, sat down and said a few words, "Originally, I wanted to invite the prince to go to the western suburbs to relax, but I just learned one thing, but I can't wait to ignore it, so I disregard the number of etiquette, and come to the prince in person to see what the prince means, I always have you to decide." ā
Prince Gong was too lazy to ask anything, his tone was lazy, "We're all already in the wilderness, what's the matter?" What else is there for us to decide? ā
"This matter is related to the outside world, and it is also related to the affairs of the south and the military aircraft department, and we can't ignore it," Bao Jun said firmly, the flesh on his face did not move, "It's news from Shanghai, this matter, I'm afraid it can be the most ugly for Zuo Changsha!" ā
