Daming 1805

Nelson knew that the Yinzhou war was a big problem, but this problem had little to do with him, not with the navy.

The original navy of the colonial rebels was only those fleets that originally escorted the Queen of America.

It has already been completely destroyed by itself, and now the task of the navy is to block it, which is already a very easy problem.

"How to destroy the rebels is the task of the Army..."

Facing Fox's questioning, Nelson directly waved his hand to skip this question:
"The navy has completed its mission, and it doesn't make any sense for you to question me.

"The construction of new warships is a separate issue for the navy, and it is an issue that affects the safety of our homeland.

"We must use the fastest speed to start the construction of at least two warships to maintain the deterrent force of the United Kingdom Navy."

Fox said with a straight face:

"But the Yinzhou war involved too much budget, and the United Kingdom has no money to build new warships for the navy.

"If we end the war in Yinzhou, we will be able to spend money to build the navy!"

So in addition to all kinds of illegal transactions, all kinds of illegal assemblies will also be held here.

"I have now decided to resign from all positions in the United Kingdom and immigrate to the Daming Dongyi Kingdom."

The third son, Nathan, stood beside him, with the same sad expression, and said in a particularly sad tone:

"It has been fully confirmed that James was shot in front of the Meng County City Hall, the capital of the Mozhou region of the Great Food Country.

In the final analysis, we still have to find a way to make money, and the natural way to make money is to increase taxes.

Chu Yuqiang was thinking about how to report to Zhu Jingyuan.

Nelson looked at the congressmen around him, and suddenly threw the document in his hand:
"Gentlemen, can you beat me on the budget, can you, with your difficulties and eloquence, beat the fleets of the Prussians, Lucians, and Spaniards at sea!
"I have already said that the war in Yinzhou and the construction of the navy are two completely unrelated things, but you gentlemen always want to make political deals on this?
"You are using your own safety as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Navy!

Meyer Rothschild opened her mouth, and her eyes recognized her youngest son in the photograph in the newspaper.

Philip added what Chu Yuqiang hadn't finished saying:

The head of the family, Meyer Rothschild, a patriarch in her 60s, sat on a chair with a sad expression.

Fox was also a little annoyed:
"Your Excellency Nelson, it's not that we want to trade with the navy, we certainly hope that the United Kingdom's navy is invincible.

In fact, in Paris, only in the year after the armistice did the atmosphere become lively for a while.

"As for the Yinzhou war, we'll think of another way. What's the condition?"

Chu Yuqiang just shook his head noncommittally. I'm afraid the meeting place is in your shop.

Meyer didn't answer, just frowned in thought.

Chu Yuqiang agreed casually, and bowed his hands to Philip very apologetically.

Then Pete looked at all the other MPs again:
"Now directly approve the budget for two new capital ships with a full load of [-] tons.

"Of course the court doesn't dare to move, but if the citizens make a fuss, the consequences will be uncontrollable."

The key question is where to collect taxes and which group to collect taxes from. This is a technical task.

"But the budget is limited. If the naval budget is increased, other places must be deducted, otherwise the balance cannot be maintained."

The point is that the Paris police have no right to enter the private property of the Orléans family.

After the vote is passed, it will be sealed by the speaker and signed by the regent Prince of Wales.

Philip hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said directly:
"I don't have any good solution, shopkeeper Chu should try to add as many people as possible, and observe the market situation more.

"Some people even advocate that the big food companies in Paris should be shut down..."

Nelson also wanted to end the war, but could find no effective way.

In fact, it has been like this for almost the whole year.

Mayer put down the newspaper, turned around, looked at his third son, and said very seriously:
"If our family wants to continue, we can only accept this result. I don't want to lose anyone anymore."

"This kind of pure luxury goods can easily become the target of public criticism under the current situation.

The streets are relatively deserted.

Nelson had never planned to build a [-]-ton ship.

Nathan gritted his teeth and said:

There was a chaotic discussion among the councilors, but no one stood up to object in the end.

Nelson felt that the direct increase in the tonnage of the capital ship from [-] tons to [-] tons was already a leapfrog upgrade.

It is required that the number and size of the new capital ships of the United Kingdom should remain the first among all Western countries.

"Every man was angry, blood spattered five steps..."

Chu Yuqiang was a little surprised now:
"The French court dares to touch the property of His Royal Highness Prince Dashi?"

Chu Yuqiang has lived in Paris for the past few years, so he can't say that he knows these situations well, but can only be regarded as familiar.

Now the goal has been basically achieved, but Nelson is very tired.

Of course, Philip didn't have any opinion. The prince's calling for such a thing must be more important than himself.

"Is that all?"

Nelson has basically given up the idea of ​​competing with the Ming Navy.

"I'll be there right away..."

"James is also to blame, touching the core interests of the Prince of Food..."

It is the size of its own fleet, which exceeds the sum of No.2 and No.3 behind.

"After something like this happened, no one could have imagined that we were behind it."

Fox and Pete can be regarded as political enemies, and Fox is a member of Parliament rather than Pete's subordinate.

The Duke of Orleans built various shops, cafes, tea houses and other facilities under the arcade outside the palace.

"Even if you gain trust, you have to defeat soldiers who have received military training since childhood and never leave their weapons.

"They ignored James' identity and didn't even notify us..."

The shipbuilding plan was confirmed, and Pete began to discuss with the parliament how to make money and how to continue the war in Yinzhou.

In Paris, France, the interior reception room of Taixi headquarters of Dashi Clothing Company.

"What can we do? We are only businessmen, what can we do to Daming? What can we do to Prince Dashi?"

"The merchant ship that James carried on this trip, as well as all the assets, were all confiscated by the Great Food Kingdom.

Nelson turned directly to William Pitt:

"Maybe there will be a big mess."

Nelson directly asked for [-] tons, which was just a routine of "extraordinary asking price and paying back the money on the spot".

Opposite the Louvre, there is a royal palace belonging to the Orléans family, known as the "Palace Royal".

Not long after the Yinzhou War started, the city became depressive again.

"Father, is there anything we can do?"

The United Kingdom of this world is not the British Empire in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

Chu Yuqiang picked out one of the new clothes that hadn't been released yet, and wrapped it in the packaging specially used by Prince Shire.

Nelson also breathed a sigh of relief, and found a place to sit down and rest by himself.

"In addition to directly attacking Prince Dashi, we can also try to destroy the business of Dashi Clothing Firm.

Louis-Philippe, Duke of Chartres, son of the Duke of Orleans, complained to Chu Yuqiang, the treasurer of Dashi clothing firm:
"The atmosphere in Paris is too depressing now, there are private gatherings everywhere, and everyone is criticizing the government..."

Nathan asked in amazement:

William Pitt also specially cooperated with Nelson, otherwise he would not stand up to mediate until the last moment.

The main reason is that the war in Yinzhou has indeed lasted for a long time, consuming too much energy and wealth of Britain.

"We can guide it a little bit so that the turmoil really breaks out and Dashi Clothing House becomes one of the targets of destruction.

"Ensure that the number and quality of capital ships of the United Kingdom Navy are not inferior to those of any European navy."

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, before the First World War, Britain's shipbuilding plan was the top two standard.

Then let his French men drive him to Versailles.

Outside London, inside the Rothschild family's manor.

Chu Yuqiang shook his head for the third time:

Nelson spread his hands and asked directly:
"Again, what does this have to do with the navy? The navy is in charge of fighting, not making budgets."

The content of the bill is very simple, which is what Pete just said.

Chu Yuqiang speculated in his heart whether this Philip was reminding himself, threatening him, or just talking:
"The Duke thinks, how should I deal with it?"

"Follow-up, according to the shipbuilding news of other countries in Europe, we will follow up and implement the shipbuilding plan at any time.

…………

At this time, Prime Minister William Pitt finally stood up, and stretched out his hands to signal the two sides to stop first:
"In the future, the number of new capital ships built by the navy will be no less than that of any navy in Thailand or the West.

When the car passed through the city of Paris, Chu Yuqiang observed the surrounding situation a little.

This area has become almost a lawless place in Paris.

Meyer shook his head directly:
"If you are not someone who is absolutely trusted, you will not be able to get close to Daming's most important prince.

The index finger of his right hand rubbed the face of the confused and desperate boy, muttering intermittently in his mouth:
"James... my James... why are you disobedient, why do you have to challenge the rules of the Ming people..."

So Fox really shut up.

Let alone the top two now, just one leading standard has caused the parliament to stir up a pot of porridge.

The Yinzhou War has also turned into a bad debt, and there is no hope of final victory at a glance.

It's like many teahouses that don't hang the sign of "Don't talk about state affairs", but hang the sign of "Welcome to the government".

"Now there are many internal conflicts between Britain and France, and they have even reached the brink of turmoil.

"When the situation was found to be wrong, the shop was temporarily closed, and people could go to our house to hide.

Fox subconsciously opened his mouth:
"The displacement must not exceed [-] tons! There is no news to confirm that any country's new capital ship has reached this level."

Pete instinctively comforted Nelson, then turned to look at Fox:
"Shut up now!"

According to the calculations of Nelson and the engineers, a 360-ton hull would be enough to install about ten [-]mm naval guns.

The two were discussing this, and Chu Yuqiang's subordinates knocked on the door and walked in:

Mayer continued to look at his youngest son's face, and asked weakly in his mouth:

Then I couldn't help but shook my head again and said:
"It's not that easy to collect taxes from nobles, maybe..."

…………

Playing No.2 and No.3 at the same time can still maintain a certain advantage.

"But it has nothing to do with me, I'm just a businessman..."

Nathan took several deep breaths in a row:

Philip said at once:

This led to the passage of a new bill called the United Kingdom Naval Leadership Scheme.

Then Philip added:
"Your Majesty seems to be preparing to collect taxes from the nobles to maintain the war in the Yinzhou colony..."

"It doesn't matter..."

"The Navy already has a normal shipbuilding plan, but now it has only made minor adjustments.

The size of the colony and the financial revenue are far worse.

Staring blankly at the newspapers in Ming Dynasty, the front page of the newspaper is a large photo of the execution scene.

The Duke of Orleans allowed the French to communicate freely here.

Philip looked around, then lowered his voice slightly and said:
"Some people say that the nobles would rather spend their money on the Dashi Clothing Firm and give it to the Dashi Prince of Ming Dynasty than support the war in Yinzhou...

Nelson doesn't think that Ming's next-generation battleship will exceed this scale.

"Then, first build two new capital ships with a full load displacement of no more than [-] tons.

James is the young Rothschild who traded slaves in Tianzhu and used Tianzhu slaves to smuggle goods from Dashiguo.

But now that Nelson has threatened to resign, Fox also knows that what Pete said is the bottom line.

"At the same time, the tonnage and main gun level of a single ship are not lower than those of any major naval battleship.

He was Mayer Rothschild's youngest son.

"Or simply move the store to our arcade..."

"Who do you think the navy is protecting?"

"Your Excellency Nelson, don't get excited! Thirty thousand tons is thirty thousand tons!"

Therefore, Nelson's psychological expectation is that the full-load displacement should not be less than [-] tons.

Nathan watched from the side:

So Peter immediately asked someone to write a bill document, and then the speaker presided over the motion to vote.

But now it is a bit difficult to maintain the strongest navy in Thailand and the West.

When Chu Yuqiang heard this, he thought of asking officials Xungui for money during the Chongzhen Dynasty.

"Boss, Prince Charles invited you to Versailles, saying that he wanted to discuss something with you."

It stands to reason that it is impossible to obey Pete's orders.

Anyway, I came here to chat, there was nothing important, so I left directly.

Chu Yuqiang was noncommittal, but he still surrendered as a matter of course:
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I will pay attention."

Having just finished the World War, before he had a chance to recover, the Yinzhou War started again.

Chu Yuqiang is not an ordinary businessman. Although he does not specialize in intelligence work, he will regularly report to Zhu Jingyuan all kinds of information he observes and discovers.

This kind of intelligence work that is not intelligence work is actually very common in the intelligence system.

The most common news to local people may be very important information to decision makers tens of thousands of miles away.

Chu Yuqiang's car drove all the way to the gate of the Palace of Versailles.

Chu Yuqiang is an old acquaintance, and there is no need to notify him when he enters the door. A maid will lead Chu Yuqiang to see Prince Charles directly.
