Mediterranean Hegemony Road

"Damn it, the oil price has risen again, and it has risen three times this month. If this continues, my factory will close sooner or later!

If I had known earlier, I would have bought stocks in oil companies. The price of oil has soared recently, and the stock price will definitely soar! "A middle-aged man with a beard complained.

"Mr. Lear, I have heard you complain three times today, can't you change the subject?" The person at the same table said helplessly

"Okay, Vic, let's change the topic, such as talking about the weather in London?" Lear thought for a while and said

"It's such a sad topic, the weather in London is our eternal pain!" Vic said with a heartbroken look

"That's enough, Vic! Put away your bitter face, I'm already sad enough, I bought you coffee, I didn't let you stimulate me!" Lear said with a frown

"Okay, Lear! I found that you don't have a sense of humor at all. The weather in London is like this. Aren't you sad at all?" Vic asked suspiciously

"I want to be sad too, but I really can't. You know my factory is one of the sources of pollution criticized by the media. I am synonymous with unscrupulous profiteers!

To get rid of London's smog, I'm going to close factories. This is also a small problem. Anyway, my small factory can't make much money, and it will be closed when it is closed. The key is what to do with the hundreds of workers?

Tell me, are these media stupid, saying that closing factories can control the smog?

God, don't they know that by closing the factories, at least a quarter of London's jobs will be lost?

Without factories, what do they eat? If the government can't solve this problem, what I want to do is useless! " Lear said, frowning.

"It's scary what they said is right? Your factory has always been full of smog, and it is indeed one of the sources of pollution.

Besides, the wages in London are so high now, how much money does it take to invest in industry?

Fortunately, you have worked hard for a year, and you have not earned as much as the stock market in a month, so why worry?

If the government wants to control smog, it must give you an explanation, right? Everyone is operating legally, so there is no reason to just ban it casually, right? " Vic comforted

"However, the stock market does not keep going up, once something happens, you will lose all your money!

Although the profit of my paper mill is not huge, it is better than stability, right? One-fifth of the toilet paper in London is produced by me. If it stops, what do you use? "Lille said eloquently.

"I think you don't have to worry about these issues, the big deal is to transport them back from other places.

The most popular thing now is to move factories to Italy or Germany. The wages of workers in those two places are less than half of those in London, and there are not so many messy taxes.

Have you heard that some MPs proposed to levy a pollution control tax, which is aimed at you and is specially used to control the smog in London? "Vic pretended to be mysterious and said.

"Damn it, which bastard suggested it? Do people have to live? If the government dares to levy pollution control tax, I will shut down the factory immediately and let the workers go to them to ask for wages!" Lear roared

"Well, you came to me today, isn't it just to talk to me about this?" Vic turned around and asked

"Of course not. I heard that the government intends to set up a smog control fund to reward entrepreneurs who take the initiative to move their factories out of London. I would like to inquire about this?" Lear said seriously.

"Are you intending to move the factory?" Vic asked in surprise

"It depends on the rewards given by the government. As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable!" Lear said calmly

"You didn't want to move out in the first place, did you deliberately defraud the reward fund?" Vic asked in a low voice

"Don't say it so harshly, how can this be considered a lie? I am a law-abiding citizen!

Don't worry, I don't have much appetite, as long as the government can buy my factory with the money, it will be fine! " Lear said without changing his face.

"Don't think about it,

There are so many businesses in London, the government simply cannot afford so much money!

If you don't give money and let you move, can you agree? Vic said, frowning.

"Vic, we are old friends, the government can't pay for all the factories to move out, but there is still money to move out a few factories!

Now that the smog problem is so hot, why should the government try to put on airs? Who is this money not for? Rest assured that your share is indispensable! " Lear said indifferently.

"Lille, to tell you the truth, the government really intends to establish this smog control fund, but the biggest problem now is that there is no money!

The government's financial budget has already been distributed, so where do we get such a sum of money now?

The prime minister intends to borrow money from the consortium, but unfortunately, the masters of the Congress do not agree. Many local congressmen are opposed to spending a lot of government financial resources on the issue of smog control.

This problem is thrown to our London city government, what can the city government do? As far as our financial revenue is concerned, it is impossible to support such a large governance plan!

There are radicals who advocate learning from the Sofia city government and passing laws to force heavily polluting factories to move out of London! "Vic said earnestly.

"Damn, this is impossible. If there is no subsidy, it is impossible for us to move away. Who will bear the relocation expenses and who will be responsible for our losses?" Lear said angrily

"Don't be angry, such a law is impossible to pass. But you should also pay attention, there are more and more demonstrations and demonstrations. If these demonstrators come to your factory to wreak havoc, you will be in big trouble!

Alright, let's stop here today, I still have something to do, so I'll go first! Vic said in a low voice.

Collusion between government and business exists in any country, and the British Empire is no exception.

Some people want to control the smog and solve the severe weather in London; others want to take advantage of this opportunity and make a fortune from it.

In this era of money supremacy, as long as you have money, everything is easy to manage. If the British government is willing to pay, it will not be difficult at all to control the smog problem in London.

The capitalists are very talkative, as long as the pound is sufficient.

If there is no pound sterling, then it will be bad, even if it is impossible to say it is useless.

If the law is forcibly passed to control the smog in London, people will die.

The person is dead, and I don't know who did it, there are too many suspects. After all, it is really not difficult to assassinate a person in this era!

"The people demonstrating outside, haven't left yet?" Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said with a frown

Maybe God didn't want him to continue to be re-elected. The smog has lasted for almost a century. It didn't erupt sooner or later, but it happened at this time.

Now it is being used by the opposition parties, constantly putting pressure on them to solve the smog problem.

solve? How to solve this problem?

Capitalists are not easy to mess with, and the government doesn't have that much money now, so they can't afford relocation compensation, and wanting them to move the factory by themselves is simply a dream.

What's more, the employment of workers has to be considered. If the factories are all moved out at once, what will happen to these unemployed workers?

The UK has already completed urbanization, and it is impossible for them to return to the countryside. They have long since had no land to cultivate.

Not every country's people have the habit of saving money. Once they lose their jobs, they will immediately become refugees and have no ability to resist risks at all.

"Your Excellency, it's not good! In the crowd of demonstrations just now, a person died suddenly, and now the angry people demand an explanation from us!" Toms, the chief of the London Police Department, hurried over and said

"How did you die? Didn't I tell you to deal with it calmly?" Stanley Baldwin asked

"It seems to be poisoned by smog!" Thomas said, frowning.

Stanley Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it is not a profiteering suppression, it doesn't matter if the smog is poisoned, how many people will not die in London that day?

"Explain it to the citizens, say we are discussing the governance plan with experts, and ask them to give us a little time.

Tell them that the weather in London is not suitable for outdoor activities, and it is easier to be poisoned outdoors, and let them go home as soon as possible.

Send someone to send the dead home, the government will pay them a pension, and tell the family members to shut up! " Stanley Baldwin ordered decisively

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Toms replied

"Everyone, at this moment, the problem of smog is urgent, we must find a way to calm the hearts of the people first.

Winter is about to pass, as long as this winter is over, the smoggy weather will end, and we will have more time to think about this issue.

Of course, the premise is that we will still be in this position next year, otherwise it has nothing to do with us! said Stanley Baldwin wearily

Ferdinand just lit a fire, and then the British played themselves.

The timing of this time is very good. The general election year is undoubtedly a good time. Now the smog problem has banned the war in Southeast Asia, and it has become the most powerful evidence for the opposition party to criticize their inaction.

No one hopes that this problem can be solved, but no one can solve this problem.

The ghost weather in London, is it enough to just close the factory?

Obviously, this is impossible. London now has a population of nearly 10 million, and they all rely on burning coal for heating, lighting and cooking. This is also a source of pollution.

Even automobile exhaust is a major source of pollution.

It's just that the media decisively ignored this issue and put all the responsibility on the factory, which aroused public outrage.

"Your Excellency, why don't we purchase a batch of masks and distribute them to the citizens of London, so as to appease their emotions first." Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain suggested

"Well, this is a good idea. Let the city government do it right away, and do it with a lot of fanfare, so that the public can see our actions!" Stanley Baldwin thought for a while and said

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we can also formulate a three-year plan to control smog, which will be carried out in batches and phases, and all these plans will be announced in newspapers at the same time!" Minister of State Javier suggested

"Three-year plan? I'm afraid the people don't have that patience. What they want is to solve the smog problem immediately. They will think that we are delaying time!" Stanley Baldwin said with a frown

"Your Excellency, we can use the employment problem as an excuse. Once the factories are closed immediately, more than 2.8 million people in London will lose their jobs.

The government proposed the three-year plan out of comprehensive consideration. After all, it will take time to solve so many jobs! ’ Javier explained

"Mr. Yavil, your idea is great!

We are a responsible government and we must consider the problem comprehensively. No one can ignore the employment problem of so many people.

I think they and their families can already represent four-fifths of the public opinion in London. We have basically passed this crisis! said Stanley Baldwin happily.

This is an excellent plan. Unless they win this year's general election, then this three-year plan will be their future governing platform.

If the general election fails, that is the headache for the next government.
