1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 104: Carol's Spring (1)

While Scrooge was making ill-gotten wealth on the North American continent, oh no, it was conscientious wealth, while playing kidnapping and killing people, Carol was also quite busy in Europe.

First of all, the first important thing is to continue to discuss intellectual property issues with those French people who are not wanting face. By the way, according to Scrooge's opinion, look for opportunities to contact the Prussians who must fight the French in the future.

"The Prussians will be our important partners in the future." Scrooge once said to Carol, "In the long run, it will be our natural ally in sweeping Europe. Of course, you must remember that When it’s critical, all the ally can be sold. Moreover, the Prussian ally, from the point of view of Xiantian, is the best one to sell."

The reason why Scrooge said this is because Prussia is indeed a country where the heart is higher than the sky and the fate is thinner than paper in Xiantian.

As a rising country in Europe, he is one of the two most powerful among the German states, while Austria, the other strongest among the German states, is a damn Catholic country, while the other states are all faiths. Protestant. Are there fewer wars brought about by faith or something? This again confirms the words of a certain man of God: "I did not come to call peace on the ground, but to use swords and soldiers on the ground."

So Prussia seems to be the leader of the German states by nature. As long as Austria is dealt with, it is enough to unify Germany. But how can you fix Austria? Apart from industrialization, what else can Prussia have the power to deal with Austria? Therefore, Prussia believes that it can only go this way.

But industrialization is accompanied by a series of side effects. First of all, the first problem is that industrialization will produce a large number of commodities, and these commodities, under the conditions of a complete market economy, it is impossible to sell all of them naturally. Industrialization, if you don't want to be ecstatic by waves of economic crises, you must have a bigger market. Prussia's own market is definitely not enough. Therefore, the entire Germany is indispensable. For Germany, Austria must be defeated!

What about Austria? Things are endless. Industrialization will develop rapidly, and new productive forces will emerge faster than a certain believer in later generations will give birth to children. But there is already a large industrial country on the European continent, and the market is limited. What should we do? Well, of course, the problems that arise in development can only be solved by continuing to develop. So the solution is: continue to develop industry, and then suppress France.

But the industrialization monster will grow faster and faster, and it won’t be enough to suppress France’s dividends. At this time, if you don’t want to commit suicide in the economic crisis, you have to prepare to go out and grab food from the British. Think about it, how many wars need to be fought along the way. For a seller of weapons and medicines, is there a better ally than this?

More importantly, unlike the United States, Germany has always been in an environment with insufficient resources and markets. They cannot hide at home and slowly farm the fields like the United States does. They must constantly go out and plunder. This makes him an umbrella for the quiet (harmonious) protection (harmony) of the United States' quiet farming development. Without their rise, the British might not tolerate the United States' unkindly playing farming stream at home.

When the United States is almost ready to farm, let the Germans and the British have a passionate collision, and then when they are killed and injured, they can come out to be a peacemaker and say to them: "Look, you guys are for such a market. , Playing like this, why bother? Well, in order to prevent you from making trouble again and hurting the sky, simply, in line with my fearless spirit of sacrifice of not entering The Underworld, who enters The Underworld, these raw materials for causing disputes, The market will be mine."

The Prussians have been in contact with Scrooge's company. They readily bought a batch of rifles from Scrooge, and they were not powerful enough. They also honestly negotiated the patent transfer with Scrooge's company. The problem. For those who are destined to make a lot of money for himself later, and who are good allies at gunpoint, Scrooge's conditions are relatively favorable. This also made the French very dissatisfied. In the negotiations with Carol, they constantly mentioned the treatment of Prussians and demanded that they be treated better than Prussians.

"Ah, if you can unify some of our conditions, this matter is not impossible to talk about." Carroll said, "First, you should give us reasonable compensation for plagiarism, and second, we need some other preferential treatments, such as Speaking of preferential treatment in terms of tariffs when exporting certain goods to your country, for example, if we invest in your country, can we get full national treatment? You know, these are all preferential treatments given to us by Prussians. If your country needs peace Prussia has the same preferential terms, so this series of preferential treatments should also be given to us. After all, the preferential treatments are mutual."

However, the situation in France is different from that in Prussia. Emperor Napoleon III was not right. He came to power based entirely on the love of the French people for his Uncle. Therefore, if he wants to maintain his own rule, he must let the people who support him in the country, especially the peasants, live a good life, at least close to the level of his Uncle Napoleon emperor.

But the Emperor Napoleon was able to do this for a reason, that is, through his war, the whole of Europe has become a raw material producing area and sales market in France. Under such circumstances, he certainly can make the farmers live a good life. By the time of Napoleon III, France had been suppressed by the British in general, but Napoleon III had to let farmers maintain the life of Emperor Napoleon, which was naturally very difficult. At the same time, it also made them shrunk financially. In history, their defeat in the subsequent Franco-Prussian War was also related to this shrunken finances. And the French are naturally unable to give Scrooge too much concession under such tight financial conditions. Therefore, this negotiation has been delayed.

For a long time like this, no agreement was reached. Anyway, until the French left, there was still no result.

After sending away the Frenchman who had no sincerity, Carol also got in the car and went out. He is going to visit the Lawrence Cavaliers to discuss new issues that have arisen in the cooperation between the two sides.

Since the outbreak of the Civil War, McDonald’s Infantry Arms Company and McDonald’s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company have lost the southern market. Of course, this is not because southerners don't buy it, but because the two companies under Scrooge really can't continue to sell these things. In fact, if it is possible, those guys in the south are absolutely willing to empty out all the money in the treasury to buy these things.

After being unable to buy these most important materials, the Confederacy of the South adopted another method, which was to smuggle these items from Britain. From the hands of the British, there are heroin and Dali pills, as well as the British version of the MacDonald rifle. According to the original agreement between Scrooge and the British, the British could not sell these things to North America. However, after the outbreak of the Civil War, when the southerners came to the door, the British took the attitude of "it is a fool if the money sent to the door is not made", and started the business of smuggling these items to the North American continent and made a lot of money.

This violation of trade integrity is of course unacceptable, so Kroll was ordered to discuss this issue with the Lawrence Cavaliers and ask them to give appropriate compensation.

Yes, it is asking for compensation, not asking them to stop such activities immediately. Because, in the first place, the British will definitely not stop such activities, because there are not only economic benefits, but also political benefits. Of course, to a certain extent, the so-called political interests are the greater economic interests.

If United States can really be divided, then in North America, there will be a force that can really contain the United States of America. United States guys want to farm with peace of mind, and then slowly find opportunities to kill the world’s boss. It's easy. Moreover, with the separated America Confederacy, the most prominent talents of the British have huge room for development.

What? You ask me what is the most prominent talent of the British? Needless to say, of course it was messing up! Apart from other things, the nickname of the British "European shit stick" can definitely explain the problem. You know, there are wrong names in the world, but no wrong nicknames. In fact, the British are just as simple as the "European dung stick". It is completely a world dung stick. As long as they go, they can always stir up troubles, even if they leave, they can leave a lot behind. The trouble of piles makes you unbalanced for decades or even hundreds of years. For example, in India after the Second World War or more recently in Hong Kong in 1997, the already dwindling feces sticks are still the same as Bufan.

Therefore, the British will never give up such an opportunity to make trouble. Scrooge knew this, so Kroll knew too. That being the case, besides, anyway, McDonald’s Infantry Arms Company and McDonald’s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company can no longer make money in the South, so it is better to ask the British for some compensation. As for what losses the British actions will bring to United States, this is not something a businessman should consider. Besides, the British attempt in United States is absolutely impossible to achieve. Scrooge said that in North America, the logic of the British is to make trouble, fail, make trouble again, and fail again, until complete failure. So there is nothing to worry about. Even if the southerners really made some moths, as a "genius chemist", Scrooge had some ways to break the situation, not to mention anything else, such as the headache that made Jackson feel as if it was insurmountable. Trench defense, for Scrooge, is actually just a matter of minutes.

The carriage stopped, and Carol got out of the carriage and appeared in front of him is the small house of Lawrence Knight's house with gray walls and red roof. Under the guidance of a steward, he walked into the small living room of Lawrence Knight's house.

Lawrence Knight was waiting for Carol in the small living room. Carol noticed that the furnishings in her small living room had changed. In the middle of the living room was a simple rosewood round table full of oriental charm. There are also several back chairs that are also rosewood. At the other end of the living room, there is a screen made of rosewood.

"Ah, welcome, my friend!" Lawrence greeted him warmly and invited Carol to take a seat. He proudly showed off these rosewood furniture to Carol.

"These things were once the belongings of a governor of the Qing Dynasty, but now these things are mine."
