MacDonald's words contained a lot of information.
Admitting that he couldn't suppress Fusang?
Or did they admit defeat to Great Qin?
Stanley said in a deep voice,"Prime Minister, have you ever thought about the consequences of Great Qin obtaining human resources from planting flowers?”
"I have thought about it. The East Manya colony will collapse, and the Great Qin Navy can cut off the Suez Canal route at any time.”
After explaining why Great Britain was trying to suppress Great Qin, MacDonald sighed.
"I also want to stop Great Qin from rising, but we can't afford to start a war.”
"Moreover, we have no allies. Gaul, which suffered the most in the European War, will not send troops again. After the defeat at Xianyang Port last time, the anti-war sentiment in the beautiful country is high. The probability of convincing the beautiful country to send troops is not high.”
"What about Fusang? Even though their navy was ranked third in the world, based on the Fusang people's deep-rooted bad habits, they would not attack Great Qin with all their might. After all, for an island nation, the losses of their navy would be too great, and it would be the same as subjugation.”
"We are the same. Have you forgotten the pain of the European war? They would go all out to destroy Great Qin's navy and completely destroy this mortal enemy. They would kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of their own. In the end, it would be the beautiful countries that would benefit.”
"So, do you think that the Empire will still risk everything to fight against Great Qin?”
Stanley was rendered speechless by MacDonald's soul interrogation.
The pro-war faction looked at each other in silence.
Indeed, the painful lesson of the European War was still fresh in their minds. They had spent billions of pounds on military spending and lost one-third of their ships, ultimately wiping out the Great Qin Navy.
However, after the war ended, they realized that Great Britain was helping others. The biggest winner was the beautiful country.
Not only did the world's strongest country, but the world's strongest naval power also belonged to the beautiful country. Great Britain also owed the beautiful country billions of pounds in loans.
If they still foolishly went all out against Great Qin, with Great Qin's strength, even if they were destroyed, Great Britain's Royal Navy would lose at least half of its main fleet.
At that time, the beautiful country's navy would still be the world's number one, Fusang would be the world's number two, and the British navy would probably not even be able to compare to the Gaul navy.
After thinking about it, everyone immediately gave up on the idea of starting a war against Great Qin.
It was not worth it, it was not worth it. Only a fool would sacrifice himself to help others.
"Let's vote by hand! Those who agree to send troops, raise your hand."
After a few minutes of silence, MacDonald proposed a vote by a show of hands.
The result was just as he had expected. Everyone tacitly chose not to send troops.
" Prime Minister," Stanley said in a deep voice," we can not send troops, but we must approve the navy to build new warships."”
"The battleships that appeared in Xianyang Port have a displacement of more than 50,000 tons and a caliber of 406 millimeters. Their overall strength is definitely stronger than our main battleship, the Nelson-class. For the sake of national security, we cannot afford to delay the construction of new warships!”
MacDonald nodded without hesitation.
If they did not build stronger battleships, Great Britain would be the first country to suffer once Great Qin rebuilt its navy.
"Yes, the Navy will submit the proposal as soon as possible. The Congress will approve it and allocate military funds as soon as possible.”
Stanley felt better after getting a clear answer. The worry and anxiety in his heart disappeared.
As long as the British Navy was strong enough, any enemy would be crushed and destroyed!
If they could defeat Great Qin once, there would be a second time!
After discussing this issue, Foreign Minister John. "How should we reply to Fusang?" Russell asked.”
MacDonald thought for a moment, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. A sinister look appeared on his face.
"Fusang might be more afraid of Great Qin than we are, and Fusang's ambitions are too great. They want to conquer and rule over Great Qin, so let's make them bleed.”
"Also, East Asia can only have one strong country. Great Qin will not sit idly by and watch Japan invade. There will definitely be a war between the two sides!”
"There's a saying that goes,'a dog bites a dog's fur'. Even though Fusang's overall national strength is not as good as Great Qin's, the psychologically twisted Fusang army is not that easy to deal with. Great Qin has Fusang to weaken its strength, which gives us time to recover our economy and build warships.”
"Waiting for them to be injured before attacking is called sitting back and reaping the benefits!”
Hearing this, everyone revealed a sinister smile at the same time.
High, very high!
The entire world knew how monstrous the Fusang people were. If Great Qin faced Fusang, even if they did not die, they would be heavily injured.
……
Xianyang, the parliament building.
After a night of rest, Chang Kaishen brought Chen Cheng, Gu Weijun, and the others to the parliament building in high spirits. He was ready to discuss with Qin Zhen the details of the oral agreement such as purchasing weapons and equipment, lifting immigration restrictions, and sending military advisors.
As they entered the parliament building, Deputy Prime Minister Jiang Meng 'an, who was in charge of reception, strode over.
"Chairman Chang, it's so early! We go to work at nine o'clock. His Majesty and the Prime Minister haven't arrived yet!”
Work at nine o'clock?
Chang Kaishen looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was half-past eight!
"Mr. Jiang, you guys go to work on time. Can't you go to work earlier?”
Jiang Meng 'an shook his head." No, this is the law. It's the same for both the government and private enterprises. The employees work eight hours a day and are willing to work overtime.”
“……”
Chang Kaishen felt numb-Great Qin was really weird; even such a trivial matter had to be written into the law.
Gu Weijun was very familiar with Great Qin and was not surprised.
"Chairman, you might not know this, but Great Qin respects human rights, and the government provides free education and medical insurance for everyone. The cost of living is very low, so Great Qin's citizens love freedom and are unwilling to spend their time earning money.”
Chang Kaishen was speechless.
Chen Cheng was speechless.
The accompanying official was speechless.
Why didn't you just say that the people of Qin were very rich and didn't care about the overtime pay?
Sigh, how envious!
Chang Kaishen shook his head and bitterly smiled," No wonder people say that Great Qin is the happiest country in the world. If I was from Great Qin, I would also feel very happy.”
Free education, medical insurance, housing security, these three biggest expenses were solved by the government. It was difficult not to be happy!
The problem was that with such a huge expenditure, was Great Qin not afraid of the country going bankrupt?
"Mr. Jiang, may I ask if Great Qin's revenue is enough to cover its expenses?”
"Enough! The eight state-owned enterprises controlled by the royal family accounted for 30% of the total economic output. The money earned by the state-owned enterprises alone was basically enough for financial expenditure. What about taxes? Excluding military expenses and other expenses, there would be a surplus every year. There was no possibility of bankruptcy!”
“……”
F * ck! Chang Kaishen was filled with envy and jealousy. It turned out that the Great Qin Imperial Family was the biggest capitalist!
