The next day.
Felton came to Lu Mansion again with the contract.
After receiving the deposit of 500,000 pounds, Ferton left the Lu Mansion excitedly.
The order was finally completed!
Putting everything else aside, he could get 50,000 pounds from the commission alone!!
Fifty thousand pounds was not a small amount!
Lu Xiaojia was relieved.
In fact, it was most cost-effective to buy weapons and equipment in Germany at this time.
After Ferton left, Lu Xiaojia took a car to the English Embassy.
When he heard that Lu Xiaojia was here, the English ambassador, Dorne, was shocked. Harry went out to greet him.
In the past, this was definitely not a treatment.
Not to mention welcoming him personally, he was too lazy to even meet Lu Xiaojia when he heard that she had come.
For people like them, Lu Yongxiang was nothing, let alone Lu Xiaojia.
However, after seeing the report, Dorne was shocked. Harry was already interested in Lu Xiaojia.
Even if Lu Xiaojia didn't come looking for him, he would come personally.
Because Lu Xiaojia was rich now, and he was the son of a warlord.
Although the weapons and equipment in the English warehouse were not as much as those in Germany, it was only relative to Germany!!
Looking at the mountain of weapons and equipment, the country was also very worried.
Where would they sell so many weapons?
After the end of World War I, there were very few countries that fought.
Now that he saw Lu Xiaojia extorting 40 million yuan from Huang Jinrong and winning over Young Master Sheng's business, how could he not feel amused?
Therefore, after hearing that Lu Xiaojia was here, Dorne…Harry came out to greet him.
In the entire Republic of China, only Lu Xiaojia had such treatment.
Even the ambassadors of France and the United States came to visit. Harry did not even greet him.
If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be shocked!
"Welcome, Young Master Lu."
When they met, they hugged each other like old friends.
"Mr. Ambassador, please don't take offense for coming uninvited this time.”Lu Xiaojia also said very politely.
"Haha ~~"
"Young Master Lu, we welcome guests like you at any time.”
" Thank you, Mr. Ambassador."
After exchanging pleasantries, both parties sat down.
"Mr. Ambassador, to be honest, I want to buy some warships this time.”
"The whole world knows that the English Navy is the best in the world. No one can match it. Whether it's performance or cost-effectiveness, your warships are incomparable to the US.”
Lu Xiaojia was not stupid. She praised him immediately, especially the price-performance ratio.
In fact, English warships were indeed more expensive than American warships.
However, in terms of performance, English had some advantages.
In terms of building warships, the current US was really not as good as England.
In fact, according to the current situation, it was more cost-effective to buy American warships.
However, at this time, England was still the world overlord.
This was something that no one could change.
Now that Lu Xiaojia needed the protection of the English, it was fine if it was more expensive!!
Just treat it as a protection fee.
Moreover, the performance of their warships was indeed not bad. It would not be a problem to use them in World War II.
Hearing Lu Xiaojia's praise, Dorne. Harry's face was full of pride.
Who didn't like to listen to flattery?
Especially the arrogant English.
Perhaps it was this arrogance that caused them to lose their status as the world's overlord!
However, it was normal. The English had ruled the world for 300 years. It was time for a change.
"Young Master Lu, you have good taste.”
Dorn. Harry gave him a thumbs-up.
Although the English are arrogant, Dorne. Harry, too, looked down on everyone.
Including the Americans and the Japanese.
Of course, he had the right to be arrogant.
After all, it was still these arrogant English people who ruled the world!!
But this time, Dorne. Harry did not look haughty.
Because Lu Xiaojia was rich!
In the entire Republic of China, who didn't know that Lu Xiaojia was rich?
Even a beggar would know.
He had extorted Huang Jinrong for 40 million yuan and won the Sheng family's young master's street, more than 100 buildings and shops, and all the Sheng family's mines!!
Just these added together were worth 100 million dollars!!
100 million yuan was more than 10 million pounds!!
This was 10 million pounds!!
Even in England, there was probably no one who could take out 10 million pounds!!
Therefore, he was the God of Fortune.
Once Lu Xiaojia was unhappy, she might not buy a warship from them.
After all, Old Mi's warship was cheaper than theirs!!
Damn Americans!
Deep down, the English people looked down on the Americans.
In the eyes of many English people, the Americans were unsophisticated and inexperienced. They were simply the silly sons of the landlord!
It was no longer a secret that England looked down on America.
This was something that had existed since the first battle.
During World War I, although the United States had helped the allied countries at a critical moment, the English had always believed that the United States was not absolutely critical because when the United States arrived, Germany was already on the verge of collapse.
The English looked down on them for choosing to join at the last minute.
Before the outbreak of World War II, England tried to rope in the United States to restrict Germany, but they were rejected.
Although the United States persuaded the Pan-American Conference to adopt the Lima Declaration at the end of 1938, it showed the determination of the American countries to fight against fascism.
However, they still did not respond to English's invitation.
This disappointed England because they had hoped to win over the US.
Of course, from the perspective of the United States, it was right not to join. After all, the English were notoriously unreliable.
There were no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This was what the English people said.
The Americans really didn't trust the English people, so they really couldn't come.
However, the English people did not think so. They felt that the Americans had betrayed them, so they were naturally dissatisfied.
Of course, there were other benefits involved.
Most importantly, everyone could see that America would surpass England in the near future.
Even the English knew it, but they didn't want to admit it.
This was the only bottom line in their hearts!!
Of course, it could also be said that it was the two wars in Germany that defeated England's position as the overlord of the world!
In short, no matter what the reason was, England had to compete with America.
This order, Dorne. Harry had to take it, not give the Americans a chance.
There was another point. At the end of World War I, England had a large number of warships, nearly 1000!
It could be said that they were undoubtedly the world's number one.
It would not be a problem for him to challenge the navies of the entire world!!
However, there was one more thing.
After World War I, although England won the war, they were poor!!
As the saying goes, there's no money!
The huge military expenditure was suffocating them.
This also forced them to face a problem.
Reduce military spending, reduce troops, and sell warships.
However, countries that could afford warships at this time did not lack warships, such as the United States.
At present, only the United States could afford a warship.
Would America's huge industry lack warships?
Therefore, England could only dismantle their warships and turn them into cruise ships. After World War II, the United States dismantled more than 100 aircraft carriers...
