Vol 2 Chapter 532: , Day 1

In short, the captains successfully sold the high-priced tickets, and then everyone shared the money with the passengers with status, and then the ship left the port and headed for India.
In this transaction, the captain and the passengers with status made money, and the leeks successfully got the chance to return to India safely. Although they have been cheated, as long as they can reach India as soon as possible, and then find a chance to bully Ah San, they may still be able to pay back. So this is really a classic win-win-win.
The various exploration materials sent back by the French were sent to the Academy of Sciences. After careful research by the Academy of Sciences, it is generally believed that there is a huge gold mine in Southern Africa.
"Inferred from the available data, it may be larger than the two gold mines we discovered in North America combined. Of course, the burial is a bit deeper than the two gold mines in North America, but it is not particularly difficult to mine. It is very valuable for development. "Joseph put down the information in his hands, and finally said to Napoleon like this. Then he noticed, not surprisingly, that Napoleon's eyes were all yellow.
"Damn, we want to end the war as soon as possible, and defeat the British, and then...well, Lucien, do you have any news about Britain?"
"It is already difficult for the UK to sustain it for a long time. Inflation in the UK has been maintained at a fairly high level recently and has far exceeded our situation in 1993. There has been a serious food shortage in some areas. The British have adopted it. Measures such as limited supply of food have taken a blow to speculation. I have to say that the British government's execution power on this kind of matter is still good, at least much better than our supervising government. Last week, I was still in London. In front of the tower, more than 20 heads were chopped off in one go to calm people's hearts."
"Haha, are the British still very courageous?" Napoleon laughed.
Generally speaking, Napoleon nowadays always focuses on praise when he mentions the British. This is of course because he feels that he has the chance to win, and to compliment the opponent appropriately, he can add his own glory. Otherwise, as in the anti-Japanese drama of later generations, the Japanese devils are photographed as mentally retarded, as if this can show contempt for the enemy. But if you think about it carefully, the enemies are all mentally retarded, and you have been invaded by the retarded, and you have been invaded for more than ten years, then what are you? So, now, Napoleon will praise the British whenever he has a chance. The basic argument is:
"England slavery, genocide, anti-human gangs are the strongest, most evil, most dangerous, and most efficient armed criminal group in human history. Compared with it, even Genghis Khan pales in comparison. As for Attila and Cripple Post Compared with it, Muer is almost like a harmless little tabby cat. This is the first time in human history, the industrialized gangster, and even the big red dragon in "Apocalypse."
Now that the "Bible" is mentioned, and the "Revelation" is mentioned, the Holy See, the number one authority on the interpretation of the "Bible", will naturally stand up to support it. The great Confucians of the Holy See, citing the classics, spared a lot of twists and turns, and spent enough space to fill a room, systematically and rigorously through theology to prove that the British royal family has been out of dirty When he betrayed a marriage blessed by God, "Satan came into his heart." Since then, the British royal family is no longer the blood of the anointed person of Jesus, but the blood of the cursable Satan. Satan used the King of England to deceive the British people, and made Britain embark on an anti-Christian, beastly path.
After the Pope of Rome made his statement, the Protestant side followed. Protestantism, there are many denominations, Lutheranism, Calvinism, and not too many of all kinds. Strictly speaking, the Anglican Church in England is also Protestant.
But in Protestantism, the Anglican Church is the least like Protestantism. Except for the Pope from Rome to the King of England, almost everything about him is indistinguishable from Catholicism, especially in the persecution of Protestants. . Speaking of those people in North America, weren’t they all Calvinists who were persecuted by the Anglican Church?
Therefore, the general view of Protestantism on the European continent is that the Anglican Church is not a thing. Taking the king as the pope even violates the teachings of Jesus. They have long been cursed, and they have followed Satan's cult. (Of course, so is the Catholic Church, so is the Orthodox Church, so is the Lutheran (Calvin), all except me...)
"It's just white gloves for the dead ghosts. The real investors may be the ones who put on a stern look on the big court, condemning their crimes, and sentenced them to death in the name of God and the king. Speaking of it, when we let the mobs hang up the Jews, they didn't know who really caused the big stock market disaster. Ha ha..." Lucian sneered.
Napoleon couldn't help frowning. Of course he knew who was behind the big stock market disaster. The most important force in this is the entire "Roman Empire." Almost most of the "Roman citizens" played at least a contributing role in that storm. The real black hands behind the scenes are the emperors. The whole family.
In the subconscious, Napoleon didn't think this was a glorious thing, so he heard Lucien unscrupulously, and even said something like this with a sarcastic taste, really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Lucien, why are you all right to say this?" Napoleon said.
"Of course it is to remind you." Lucien said, "Napoleon, you know that our propaganda is all to guide others, to induce people with a hope, even a phantom, and even to say that some are more deceptive. However, We have to understand ourselves, who are we and what are we doing for? Napoleon, I think you have a weakness."
"What?" Napoleon asked. Napoleon was still very concerned about people claiming to have discovered his weakness.
"You have dreams, and your dreams can give you strength and the courage to do things that many people can't do. But as Joseph said, nothing is only good, no bad. Yours The same is true of your personality. You are easy to be confused by lofty goals and those external vanity things, so that you lose your way. To put it more clearly, you have to remember Napoleon, to win the cheers of the people, it’s just ours Means, not our goal. And I think you seem to have confused them a bit recently."
Napoleon stared at Lucien for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Lucien, I'm actually so depraved to ask you to find my fault. However, as the Minister of Truth, this is indeed your duty. In addition, I want to tell you. Yes, I do like watching the people cheer to me, but I am not so confused that I will sacrifice actual benefits for this. Okay, let’s talk about the situation in the UK."
"The problem of law and order in the UK is becoming more and more serious. Because of the serious unemployment, the government has to use the army to maintain law and order. Napoleon, you said before that if the army is used for such things, it will lead to a decline in the army's combat capability. In addition. In order to avoid too many unemployed people and rebellion because they can’t afford to eat, the British have also greatly expanded the number of the army, especially in recent months, the size of the British army has expanded a lot. In the last month, about 150,000 people have been absorbed into the British Army. Now Britain has an army of about 650,000 people. This is unprecedented in British history."
"The UK really hasn't had so many mobs." Napoleon put his arms around his chest, disdainfully said. In his opinion, the British temporarily pulled up the army, whether it is training or equipment, is a mess, and there is no threat at all.
"Napoleon, they are preparing to fight to defend the country. As long as the British propaganda effectively, their morale should be as good as we were back then." Joseph said, "So, we can't take them too lightly, you know, one An army, even if it is poorly equipped and poorly trained, as long as it has enough courage and the courage to sacrifice, it will still be an awesome army."
"Joseph, you are as cautious as always. But what you said is not completely unreasonable..." Although Napoleon did not agree with Joseph's statement, Napoleon's attitude towards Joseph and Lucien's attitude were still different. .
"Joseph, you may be too worried." Lucien said, "From the information I have learned, the British government did not expect these newly expanded army at all. They even let them use old guns without rifling. The reason for this. The expansion of the army is more to imprison the most energetic young people in society into the army, and then disrupt them and spread them out and take care of them, so that they can eat and eat and prevent them from becoming a revolutionary factor. As for ours The key to war is the British navy. As long as we defeat the British navy again, we don’t need to land in the UK at all. The UK will either negotiate with us, surrender to us, or there will be a revolution. So the British are not investing in the army at all. Willingness for resources. The army’s existence is mostly just for maintaining stability.
Well, some of the information we have even indicated that although the number of the British Army has increased greatly, the military expenditure allocated to the Army has actually decreased. Joseph, you also know that even for publicity, it actually consumes resources. If resources are not invested, it will not be easy to keep this army from rebelling. As far as we know, many newly-built troops don’t even have enough food. "
"In this case, the British approach is to drink the sea to quench their thirst." Joseph said, "Such an army itself can easily become a hotbed of revolution. It is impossible for the British not to know this. This only shows two points. First, The revolution in Britain is so close that the British have to use this method to temporarily postpone it; secondly, the British navy will definitely be moving recently. Well, is there any information about the British navy?"
"A month and a half ago, the British transferred two new battleships that had just been launched to the Irish Sea. Well, they just named the two battleships'Crecy' and'Poitiers'." Lucien replied Tao.
Both Crecy and Poitiers are place names in France. During the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, the British won brilliant victories in these two places. In the Battle of Crecy, the British longbow made the French knights who stupidly tried to cross the muddy terrain suffered heavy casualties and were crushed. In the Battle of Poitiers, the British black prince Edward defeated the French army with fewer victories, and captured the French King John II. Now the British use the locations of the outbreak of these two battles to name their new battleships, and the meaning of them can be understood.
Lucien continued: "As for more details, we are not quite sure. The two battleships have not been in service for a long time. It is still a question of how effective they are."
"I have some other information here, also about the British navy, um, it was obtained by people from the Ministry of Public Security. You can see it." Napoleon said as he took out a document and handed it to Joseph. Lucien leaned forward with a calm face and watched with Joseph.
This information is quite detailed. It analyzed the various production preparations and the signs of personnel transfer in the UK, and then came up with a speculation that the British fleet is likely to leave the Irish Sea within the last one or two weeks. A risky act attempting to break the blockade.
"There are two exits in the Irish Sea, one is north and the other is far apart. We can't tell which exit they will attack from." Joseph said, "At present, our army has launched five Augustus-class battleships~www.mtlnovel. com~ However, only three have served and completed basic training. Although one of the other two has been in service, it has only been in service for less than a month, most of the training has not been completed, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. The other has just been launched. , And many parts have not been installed. So we can send up to three new battleships, plus the original battleship Caesar, a total of four battleships, plus the new service of the "Hermes" super cruiser and The "Artemis" super cruiser. It is obviously superior to the enemy in strength, but if we want to block two openings at the same time, we have to divide them into two squads. In this case, our advantage is not Obviously. Especially our new battleship only has three, which is not very easy to divide."
"Two new battleships, plus a batch of armored cruisers, form a squadron to block the Strait of St. George, a new battleship, plus the Caesar, plus two super cruisers, heading to Islay. Anchorage, used to block the North Sea Strait. (Islay is an island at the exit of the North Sea Strait. The British did not have time to renew the coastal defense turrets on this island. As a result, the French team used the battleship Caesar and With the support of other ships, the island was captured. Now this island has become one of the important anchorages of the French Navy.
Napoleon said, "I think this should be good. No squadron is weaker than the enemy. Even if it is exchanged, it is a strategic failure for the British. The British are no longer able to create a fleet again."
