Castile’s nobles don’t want to meet people from v.e.
They did not know that the Seven-Day War was actually planned and carried out by the elves of v.e, nor did they know that it was V.e who was responsible for many tragedies such as Asugrana and Guernica. But they knew that v.e provided maps and train transportation for Titans. This blatant act of leading the party was enough for every Castilian to have the urge to cut v.e up and down into pieces.
The reason why they haven't started is that the key is that many of them are investing in v.e's projects, and it is purely illusory to expect them to start their own companies.
Now, this group of cheeky guys come to the door, and naturally don't want to invite people to see them.
In fact, the Castilian nobles wanted to blow them away. The reason why they didn’t do that is because in addition to the real gold and silver bribes, the ve company also brought two souvenirs that they can’t ignore. — Loans and technical support.
The recent pirate attack in a straight upward trend shows a cruel fact: the "invincible fleet" of semi-residues alone cannot stop foreign naval warships wearing pirate vests. No matter how big the old-style battleship meets the artillery battleship, it can only escape. Once it is caught up, it will explode into a pile of burning debris in a few minutes. Next, they can get what they want from the merchant fleet without any interference.
If you want to change the status quo, you can only build more artillery warships than the enemy. For Castilla's deteriorating finances and almost zero industry, this is no less than an extremely cruel test.
In this context, the funds and technology of shipbuilding and casting guns that v.e has become extremely important.
The ministers are actually very clear that the monetized arms dealers and war brokers are not very kind. Most of them want to make a lot of money. But they cannot drive away the profiteers. After Elizabeth reigned as queen of Albion. Relations between the two countries began to cool. After that, Albion and Charlemagne launched a fierce shipbuilding competition, and there was no extra financial and technical power to support Castilla. As a result, at the moment, I want to revitalize the economy and rebuild industry. Only rely on v.e company.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the ministers are ready to be knocked out, but when the company ve requested the "acquisition of the right to build railways in Castilla", the well-informed adults still ate shock.
As we all know, the one thing V.e likes most is to build railways. The cobweb-like dense railways in Castile and Lapland are their masterpieces, and several railways in Castile are also the products of an official holding joint venture. And just recently. There is also a rumor that a pilgrimage railway to Imir will be built. The railway is almost a symbol of v.e.
The cunning, cold-blooded president was not a train combination model collector, nor was he overhauling the railway in order to sell the model. Railway repair is an important means of controlling the economy, and it is also a powerful guarantee for military operations-for the latter point, the Castilians have a very deep understanding. In order to cause trouble for intruders before the war, the railway gauge was constructed deliberately different from the standard gauge. It can be seen that the upper levels of this country have a very sober understanding of the pros and cons of railways and have made preparations early. If the elves were not well prepared, the fighting power and the speed of the march far exceeded their imagination, the Seven-Day War might be another way.
Now it doesn't make sense to say this again. After the war, Castilla, who fully realized the great power of the railway, was inattentive before the change, and began to seriously plan the construction of the railway. However, due to the lack of a professional survey team, locomotive manufacturing and capital investment, progress has not been great. At the same time, they are also reluctant to give this big cake to the unreliable foreign consortium v.e.
Now v.e company proposed to obtain the right to build roads. Push the Kingdom of Castile to a delicate position.
Accept and hang on to the title of traitor, further sparking public dissatisfaction.
Reject, continue the cycle of financial deterioration, and finally enter the path of destruction.
They also tried to open up a third possibility to replace the railway construction rights with other conditions, but they were rejected.
"The debate is ok, but the conditions cannot be modified in one place!"
Faced with v.e company negotiators citing the aggressive lines of Ito Hirofumi, the Castilians experienced very much what is called "weak country without diplomacy" in the 1895 Maguan puffer fish restaurant. Li Zhongtang's "papermaker" mood sitting opposite Ito Bowen.
Fortunately, v.e doesn't want those schizophrenic elves, they are more willing to use seduction than tough.
"We let other countries participate, how do you think?"
The kind suggestions of company representatives are just like those signs that are "for the sake of customers". An excellent scammer who leads a fat sheep into a slaughterhouse.
A good proposal, as long as it is not the sole leader of the V.e company, but is invested by other countries, Castile will have the opportunity to take advantage of the conflicts between shareholders in the future, or to withdraw the railway after its own financial reconstruction is successful.
Use other people's money to do what you want to do, and then return the results to yourself. Who would reject such a relaxing good deed?
After the negotiations were much smoother, before the formal contract was signed, the company’s geological survey and mapping team had already appeared in Castile. In addition to exploring the railway, they will also provide new shipbuilding and Site selection of industrial base. After the contract is signed, construction workers will enter, hurry to start construction.
Everything is moving in a good direction, at least on the surface.
Although there was a bit of reluctance, the Castilian ministers were still happy to protect their own interests to the maximum. Various dances and salons held one after another, and everyone’s face was filled with a sincere heart. Smile, as if all problems have been solved.
If they calm down a little bit, take a step back, look back at the whole thing, rethink the interlocking and tightly connected smoothness, and examine the perfect conditions that are excellent and well-balanced. They may have the opportunity to consider a possibility that would be used as a joke before.
If...all this was planned long ago, it was a scam elaborated by v.e and some countries in collusion with each other. So, how should Castilla deal with herself?
"The plan is proceeding smoothly. In March, Castile officials will announce the signing of the contract."
Putting his hands in his trouser pockets, wearing a black vest and white shirt, Li Lin overlooked the endless crowd of people outside the window, just like the expressionless face of the insect ecology in the glass box~EbookFREE.me~ spit out a gentle smile.
"Once the work of the diplomats is over, the next issue is the funding."
"We believe in you, Mr. President."
An ambiguous voice echoed behind Li Lin, slightly distorted, but the meaning of threat was not reduced at all.
"Your railway stock plan is the foundation of everything. If something goes wrong, everything will become a castle in the sky. You can't make any mistakes."
The expressionless face continued to look out the window, without looking at the back, a bit naughty confident voice responded.
"I fully understand your worries, please relax, we will still win this time, Secretary Walsingham -" To be continued.
