Chapter 472: , Impact (1)

Four days later, the French fleet returned to the port of Brest, its most important naval port in the Atlantic. Before the fleet entered the port, the French military had known the outcome of the battle by radio. However, in order to maintain confidentiality, French newspapers did not report the news. But some influential media still got some hints. For example, "Science Pravda" and "Kommersant" have been reminded in advance: The French Navy may have taken a decisive action.
So "Science Pravda" and "Kommersant" both sent reporters to Brest in advance. Before the large fleet entered the port, the pilot communication ship first entered the port, and then the gun turrets outside the port began to fire salutes to announce the victory to everyone in the port area. Then the large fleet entered the port.
More than ten minutes later, Pierre, a reporter from Pravda Science, rushed into the telegraph office with sweat, and then directly took out a ten-franc bill and exchanged it with the person waiting to send the report at the top. A position. A few minutes later, the news of victory reached the Paris newspaper through this telegraph line.
A few hours later, a group of newsboys holding emergency printouts appeared on the streets of Paris. As they ran, they shouted:
"Extra, extra! Watch the battle between our naval fleet and the British naval fleet in the North Atlantic!"
"Extra, extra! The admiral has won a poetic victory!"
...
Pedestrians on the street stopped one after another and asked for a free extra from the newsboy. Yes, this type of extra is always free in France.
"What? The British'Queen Elizabeth' sank and the expeditionary fleet was wiped out?" Everyone who saw the news couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The news spread throughout Europe like wings. Even in Britain, some people are now spreading the news privately. The British government naturally knew the news that the French fleet had intercepted the expeditionary fleet in the North Atlantic. However, they did not know the specific results of the battle. Of course, no warships returned in the next few days. This has already hinted that the outcome of the expedition fleet is certainly not optimistic, but after all this is not the last news, so many people still have a fluke. Thoughts. In addition, in order to maintain morale, the British government also forcibly blocked news.
However, blocking news has been aimed at the bottom level since ancient times. For people at the upper level, blocking news has a greater effect to give them time to cope with changes and reduce their losses.
In fact, everyone knows that this news will not be blocked for long, because the failure of this battle almost means that Britain has lost the right to dominate the sea, and then the French cruisers will continue to attack the British commercial roads, and then the colonial material transportation. If you don’t come in, your own goods won’t be shipped out. It is impossible to keep secrets in this situation. The control of public opinion is effective, but also limited. It's like, even with the "Pravda", the former Soviet Union could not keep the Russians from knowing that the Soviet Union had disintegrated. After the iron torrent is gone, many people already think that the Americans liberated Auschwitz.
However, before the news can't be concealed at all, and before there is no inevitable movement in the market, those who first know the news have time to take various measures to reduce their losses, and even take this opportunity to make a fortune. . It is as if the Senate of a certain country can accurately sell the stock before the circuit breaks before the plague is inevitably out of control.
After the war broke out, not to mention, Britain issued a lot of war bonds. The interest on these bonds is quite high, of course, high interest also means high risk. Many people with status have made a lot of investment in this. Now that the news is confirmed, the value of these bonds in the market will plummet. One of the greatest significances of blocking news is that it allows those noble people to find a pick-up man before everyone knows the news and get rid of these things in their hands; then they can make a short and make a profit.
When the French spread the news throughout Europe, the British were still blocking the news. At this time, the most noble people, of course, had already thrown those hot things to the receiver, and replaced them with golden coins. However, among the receivers, there are still some of the more noble people, they Also need to quickly find another taker, of course, most of them have no time to backhand.
In short, most of the most noble people in the time gained by blocking news have not suffered any direct losses and even made a fortune. Most of the more noble people also succeeded in reducing losses. And these losses naturally fell on the heads of those big cities who thought they were "middle class". So almost overnight, they went from a "middle class" to a poor proletariat.
"Joseph, what do you think the British will do next?" Napoleon asked Joseph.
"What to do? How do you face the situation after losing the dominance of the sea?" Joseph sneered, "It's not easy? The most noble British people have already understood that they can only compromise with us for their interests. At the same time, they must have been propagating that they must fight to the end, must unite, tide over the difficulties together, and defeat the French aggressors. And those "middle class" who have just become the proletariat in the market turmoil will definitely do it. This kind of propaganda is very excited~EbookFREE.me~While I feel that I’m really honorable to
take the plate for the country
, I must not throw my head and blood to respond to the call of the motherland, and work hard with us. With their intelligence, I must think about it. I understand that their efforts actually have only one meaning, and that is to increase the bargaining chips when the most noble British people bargain with us."
"So, do we need to compromise with them?" Napoleon asked again.
"Of course, but not now." Joseph said, "If we really don’t compromise and we close the lockdown for two months, the revolution will break out in Britain, and then, of course, the most noble people will go to the guillotine, or go America. And Britain has a revolutionary regime. And it is very likely to be a very leftist regime. Just like the mountain faction, Xiangmara and Ebel. Then, the fire may cross the strait and burn back to Europe. . In short, this situation is very complicated and very difficult to grasp. On the contrary, as long as we give them enough pressure, and finally let them make a choice between becoming the current Austrian royal family and the French royal family of the past. Our interests There will be maximum guarantee."
