Vol 5 Chapter 144: William Tour of London

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? London in this era is the most prosperous metropolis in the world, not one of them.
In 1928, London had a population of 9.5 million, and it was approaching the 10 million mark.
It may not be long before the world's first megacity with a population of over 10 million will appear.
Whether it is Paris in France, Sofia in Bulgaria, Vienna in Austria-Hungary, Berlin in Germany, and New York in North America, they cannot be compared.
The world's financial capital, political capital, economic capital, and industrial capital, London has too many titles.
More than half of the world's financial transactions are done here. Without the American rival, the prosperity of the Victorian era has continued to the present.
If someone counts GDP, they will be surprised to find that the total GDP of London actually exceeds 90% of the countries in the world.
The British Empire has the largest economic aggregate in the world, while London's economic aggregate ranks sixth in the world, second only to Bulgaria, France, Germany, and Austro-Hungary, surpassing Japan and Italy.
The most abnormal thing is the economic growth rate of London, which has exceeded 15% for five consecutive years. This is simply a miracle.
Of course, this miracle was thought by the British themselves, and it was not recognized by the whole world.
The British Empire has invested so much resources into this city, and it is only a problem if it develops slowly.
Is London really so beautiful?
wrong!
As long as people who have been to London in winter, rarely have a good impression of this city. The gray sky covers this place, and entering London seems to have stepped into a new world.
Prince William frowned. Hell, is this London? At a glance, the visibility was less than 100 meters, and it was hard for him to imagine how the people here survived!
Although the British are engaged in de-industrialization and to a certain extent saved some harsh environments, this is London-the industrial capital of the world!
In a city with a population of nearly 10 million, the necessary factory facilities are indispensable. In this era, there is no concept of environmental pollution. Factory sewage is discharged on the spot, and life is directly burned.
In contrast, Sofia's situation is much better. Smoke billows in a radius of a hundred miles, so it is naturally beautiful.
William naturally couldn't get used to staying in London. After getting off the plane, he felt unwell. It seems that the air here is poisonous and can suffocate people.
If it wasn't for courtesy, if it wasn't for the task Ferdinand gave him, William wouldn't mind returning immediately.
For the longing for London, he dare to swear that anyone who yearns to live here is a fool!
He can't imagine, this ghost place, or the most livable city in the world?
Isn't there any morale in the British media?
Answer: No!
Wouldn't their conscience hurt if they listed London as the most livable city in the world?
Answer: No!
"Your Highness, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, is here!" the attendant reminded
(Note: The third son of Henry George V, Duke of Gloucester)
"Long time no see, William, welcome to London!" Henry, Duke of Gloucester, said happily
(Remarks: European aristocrats are in a mess. They are not direct relatives, and usually people don’t care about their seniority.)
"Thank you!"
"Henry, has the weather in London always been like this?" William asked suspiciously
"No, just three or four months. It will be fine after winter!" Henry said calmly
It seemed that he was used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong. Moreover, the industrial cities of this era are like this, and environmental pollution is inevitable.
"God, this is really bad news, do you care about it?" William frowned and said
As long as he thinks of spending the next few months in this ghost place, his mood will not get better.
"Does it? How do you do it? The weather's problem, this is taken care of by God and his old man, we can't do it!" Henry shrugged and said
"Damn it! Close all the messy factories, isn't it?
You know, as soon as I got off the plane, I smelled a bad breath, like I fell into the garbage! "William frowned and said
In his opinion, this is a very simple problem. As long as a decree moves these factories, London's pollution can be reduced by half.
"God, I heard you right? William, your solution was to close all the factories in London?" Prince Henry asked uncertainly
"Of course, this is the easiest way. As long as these heavily polluted factories are absent, the weather in London will slowly return to normal!" Prince William thought for a while and said.
"God, this idea is really good, but only God can do it!" Henry said solemnly
"Is it difficult?" William asked suspiciously
"It's not a question of difficulty, but simply impossible!
The capitalists will not agree, which will cost them heavy losses; the workers will not agree, this is smashing their jobs!
Don't tell me, you don't know the consequences of doing this? "Henry asked seriously
"Of course I know that these problems can be solved and can be done slowly.
For example, it is forbidden to open more factories, order certain industries to relocate within a time limit, and the government will pay a small amount of relocation fees to relocate and build an industrial park. "Prince William thought for a while and said
These measures have been used by Ferdinand, and the effect is still very good, William said directly.
"Oh, I think this problem should be given to the government. You know that our two countries are different!" Henry frowned and said
William nodded, he also knew the problem. It is easy to give up rights, but it is difficult to get them back again. King George V gave up his rights at the beginning of his succession. Now if he intervenes in these issues, it is a thankless effort.
"Change the topic, how are you preparing? It won't be long before we may become neighbors!" William asked concerned.
"This matter is very troublesome. We must know that our appetite is a little bit big this time. There is no certainty that we will succeed!
Although the government agrees to cooperate with our actions, this support may be very limited. It is still difficult to obtain such a large benefit at once! "Henry thought for a while and said
"Of course, it won't be that simple! There are 13 kingdoms in North America, and your father occupies three crowns. Now your family needs three, and my family needs four.
This time it was almost rounded up by our Gotha family. Is there such a cheap thing?
However, as long as you can manage the government, I think this problem is still not big. Don't forget that behind us are the two most powerful countries in the world!
As long as we join hands, no one can stop our actions! "William said murderously
William didn't talk nonsense. The two countries joined forces and there are really few things that cannot be done in this world.
But the question is, can the British royal family be the master of the government?
It is no problem for the British cabinet to verbally support their actions, and it is difficult for them to do their best to support them.
Why did you choose to act at this time? It's not because Stanley Baldwin's cabinet is about to go out. Judging from the current situation, the probability of their retention is almost zero.
At this time, many things can be discussed. We are all human beings. We have a lot of emotions and desires, and use the power in our hands to seek benefits for ourselves. Is this strange?
Including Henry, they were so active, not for their own interests. North America is not a poor country, and the development is not much worse than that of the European continent.
At this time, when I used to be a king, the interests behind it were naturally indispensable, even if it was the rubber stamp king, the resources he had in his hands. They are not comparable to an ordinary nobleman.
If only one or two crowns were operated, it would be easy for the two royal families, but this time the appetite was too big, so there was no result.
No way, who makes this generation of the British royal family and the Bulgarian royal family productive?
King George V has five sons and one daughter. The daughter is already married. Naturally, there is no need for George V to worry about other people's families. Unfortunately, the younger son has died, otherwise he would not have three crowns.
Ferdinand even had six sons. In addition to the eldest son and the second son, who are the following boys still watching?
Poor parents in the world, Ferdinand had to do his best to fight for them.
Henry frowned. He couldn't say such a domineering thing. Now the British royal family has no confidence to let the government do its best for them!
This is not the same as fixing the cabinet. There are only a few cabinet members, and some are ways to get them to cooperate, but it is difficult for members of Congress.
George V is not Edward VII, nor is Queen Victoria, and he does not have the ability to speak out!
"Of course, as long as we join hands, no enemy is a concern!" Henry thought for a while and said
Even if this time the two royals are only teaming up and cannot mobilize all the resources ~ EbookFREE.me~ it does not mean that their strength is weak.
The strength of the British royal family is not comparable to the same period in history. They did not hurt their vitality in World War I. They still have enough money in their hands.
Ordinary people can do a lot with money, let alone the royal family?
This is also the place where European kings admire Ferdinand most. He always feels a little distressed to do things with the money in his pocket.
With the super-high annuity of the Bulgarian royal family, these problems no longer exist, and you can use the money to buy people's hearts with confidence.
This is also Ferdinand’s greatest wealth for his descendants. The huge annuity must not be kicked into his pockets, and if he survives, he cannot give birth. Of course, he will spend it?
How to spend it? Just a university asked, if you donate it stupidly, your brain is flooded.
As a king, you can buy people's hearts in an upright manner, and no one can say that you did something wrong!
For example, in peaceful times, raising a private army that only obeys one's orders, or putting it out for a show, buying people's hearts, and so on.
These investments are very profitable. All the expenses can be recovered through other industries. The royal family will be managed as a brand, and the cost of naming rights is astronomical.
Of course, this is the most method. As a king, you are the top wave of the powerful. No matter how the situation changes, you are a chess player.
This is very important. The person who always stands on the top of this world is the chess player, followed by the chess pieces on the chessboard. The worst thing is naturally those who are not even qualified to be chess pieces.
Ferdinand is in action, and other great nobles in Europe are also in action. Everyone understands the truth that eggs are not put in a basket.
It's time to finally reveal the cards, and only then has William's trip to London this time. Since it is a joint operation, in-depth communication is naturally needed.
