After a moment of silence, Hirohito, who was sitting at the head of the table, asked softly.
"Is the information true?"
Dajiao Qinsheng nodded." It's absolutely true. The Qin Navy did not cordon off the military port. They allowed civilians to visit the dock. Our agents mixed in with the crowd and observed it closely. They confirmed that it was not a model.”
Silence, a strange silence.
Everyone's expression was solemn. They frowned and did not say anything. Their gazes involuntarily gathered on Hirohito.
The rise of Great Qin was a disaster for Fusang!
Now, he had to consider whether or not he should attack before Great Qin recovered and completely destroy this threat.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier, Prime Minister Inu Yangyi expressed his opinion.
"Your Majesty, Chang Kaishen's visit to the Qin country is mainly to put pressure on the West and force them to suppress the Empire.”
"In order to prevent the West from planting flowers in the Qin country, there is a high chance that they will agree to Chang Kaishen's request.”
"Therefore, what we need to consider now is how to deal with the suppression from the west, not whether the Qin country's military strength is about to recover.”
"Moreover, the Qin country has risen again. The headache is Great Britain and Gaul. For Fusang, the threat of the Qin country is not big for the time being. There is no need to worry about this problem.”
Not a big threat?
" Prime Minister," Dajiao Qinsheng retorted immediately," the Qin State has an advantageous geographical location. It controls the Strait of Malacca, and it is a country with a flower-growing people as the main population. Once the Qin State's military strength is restored, it will be a fatal threat to our Great Fusang Empire.”
That's right!
Everyone agreed with Great Horn Qinsheng's analysis.
Not only was Qin's geographical location important, but it was also a country with the Han nationality as the main body.
Other than that, Qin's industry, economy, and education were highly developed, and it had sufficient resources. It was more than a little stronger than Fusang.
Even if the State of Qin was weak now, it was only weak on the surface.
With sufficient resources and population, in less than ten years, the Qin Country would definitely be able to recover its vitality. With its powerful industrial strength, it would once again become a world power.
"What I'm most worried about is that if Chang Kaishen and Qin Zhen reach an agreement and allow a large number of flower farmers to migrate to Great Qin, I'm sure everyone knows the consequences!”
When these words were said, not to mention the Extremists, even Quan Yang Yi was speechless.
Strictly speaking, it was not scary for the Qin State to become strong again because the small population was the most fatal advantage of the Qin State. It was very difficult to expand outward.
However, the State of Qin had an innate advantage. They could migrate from the same clan's flower farmers, easily solving the population crisis.
Fortunately, the Qing court was hostile to the Qin country. From the beginning of the founding of the country, they strictly guarded the border customs and did not allow flower farmers to leave the country.
After the western powers rose up, they also reached a consensus that they would not allow Qin to have the opportunity to replenish its population through planting flowers.
Just imagine, when the population of the powerful industrial economy of Qin State reached 50 million or 60 million, how dangerous would it be?
Hirohito felt an unprecedented sense of danger. He looked at Inukai Takeshi and asked in a deep voice,""Prime Minister, what is Great Britain's stance?”
"Your Majesty, we don't know yet. We should still be discussing how to deal with it!”
"Send a message to Great Britain, suggesting that we immediately launch a military operation to force Chang Kaishen to return to the country!”
……
London, Great Britain.
It had been two years since the economic crisis that broke out in 1929. Great Britain's economy had been hit hard. In two years, a large number of banks, factories, and enterprises had closed down, and millions of people had lost their jobs.
The terrifying thing was that this devastating economic crisis was getting more and more intense. The world commodity market was shrinking rapidly, and the war on customs and trade was intensifying. The British government was the first to abandon the gold standard, and the pound exchange rate was free to float, separating it from gold.
Abandoning the gold standard meant that banknotes could turn into waste paper at any time, causing widespread panic.
In this critical situation, the Great Britain Government decided to wage war against Great Qin in an attempt to destroy Great Qin and use it to help Great Britain get out of its financial crisis.
However, many unjust acts would lead to one's own destruction. The must-kill trap that had been planned for many years and set up at a huge price was easily broken by Qin Zhen. He failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice. He did not get anything.
When the news of Chang Kaishen's arrival in Xianyang and his visit to Great Qin spread, the British government felt both furious and powerless.
Stop it?
How?
Send troops to stop them?
Putting aside the fact that the finances could not support a large-scale war.
What if he couldn't win even if he went? Wouldn't that be a double loss?
In the conference room, Ramsay, the then Prime Minister of the British cabinet, was in a daze. MacDonald put down the telegram and rubbed his temples. His thoughts were in a mess.
He could not figure out where Qin Zhen got the two giant ships anchored at Xianyang Port.
Galaxy Trading Company?
He could lie to ordinary people, but he would not believe it.
After the intelligence agencies of Great Britain, America, Gaul, and Japan investigated, they completely ruled out the possibility that Western merchants were secretly supporting Great Qin.
After repeated discussions and research, they came to a puzzling conclusion. The Milky Way Trading Company was a cover that Qin Zhen had thrown out, and the food and resources were secretly stored by the Great Qin Imperial Family.
What was the point of Qin Zhen doing this?
Could it be to buy people's hearts and concentrate power?
This thought seemed reasonable, but it could not withstand much scrutiny. This was because Qin Zhen had already succeeded in gathering power before the four-nation alliance sealed Great Qin, and he had complete control over the military and government.
He couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out, and couldn't understand!
The more MacDonald thought about it, the more he felt a headache coming on. He looked at the military and political officials sitting there and asked,"How do you think we should deal with this crisis?”
"Agree to Chang Kaishen's request to suppress Fusang! He would help to plant flowers and establish an industrial system to control Chang Kaishen as much as possible.”
Lord of the Admiralty William. Stanley gave a suggestion that made MacDonald want to curse.
Suppress Fusang?
It was easy to say, but what could he use to suppress it?
MacDonald knew very well that Great Britain had already declined and was unable to suppress Fusang.
The root cause of Great Britain's decline was that it did not manage to capture the 2nd Industrial Revolution, which affected Great Britain's technology and economy. As the wealth brought by the colonies continued to increase, Great Britain's corporations no longer paid attention to the development of technology, and the world's technology center was transferred to Great Qin.
As early as the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Great Britain started to decline. In 1890, Great Qin's economy became the world's number one, and Great Britain was overtaken by Great Qin. Soon after, it was overtaken by the beautiful countries, and then by the Germanic countries.
The size of the country was also one of the reasons. The biggest disadvantage of Great Britain was that its territory was too small. With a small territory, it lacked the corresponding self-reliance ability. It could not support too many people, provide too many resources, and form a large-scale domestic market. It could only rely on the 30 million square kilometers of colonies overseas.
This also meant that Great Britain's fate would constantly be challenged by other Great Kingdoms. For example, Great Qin was like a fishbone stuck in Great Britain's throat.
Due to the population factor, Great Britain only had a population of tens of millions. It was very difficult to manage a vast colony with a population of 400 million.
Because of the small population, Great Britain could only adopt a policy of using foreign countries to control foreign countries. However, this was not a very stable management model and could easily get out of control. For example, Australia and new Zealand became independent one after another.
The biggest factor was the European War, which had greatly damaged Great Britain and caused Great Qin to collapse. In the end, it had benefited the beautiful countries and allowed them to become the world's most powerful country.
Before they could catch their breath, they were hit hard by the economic crisis, and the afterglow of the Empire was completely extinguished.
"Forget it. In a situation where we don't have the ability, we should consider increasing our own strength!”
