London in this era is one of the most prosperous metropolises in the world.
In London in 1928, the population had exceeded 9.5 million and was approaching the 10 million mark.
Perhaps it won't be long before the world's first megacity with a population of over 10 million will appear.
Whether it is Paris, France, Sofia, Bulgaria, or Vienna, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Berlin, Germany, New York, North America, can not be compared with it.
As 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 competitor, the Victorian boom continued to the present day.
If anyone counts GDP, they will be surprised to find that London's total GDP actually exceeds 90% of the world's countries.
The British Empire ’s economic aggregate ranks first in the world, and London ’s economic aggregate ranks sixth in the world, second only to Bulgaria, France, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The most abnormal thing is the economic growth rate of London, which has exceeded 15% for five consecutive years. This is a miracle.
Of course, this miracle is considered by the British themselves and has not been recognized worldwide.
The British Empire has invested so many resources into this city, and it is only a matter of slow development.
Is London really so beautiful?
wrong!
As long as people who have been to London in the winter can rarely feel good about this city, the gray sky envelopes this place, and entering London seems to step into a new world.
Prince William frowned, hell, is this London? At a glance, the visibility was less than 100 meters, and it was difficult for him to imagine how the people here survived!
Although the British are de-industrializing, some harsh environments have been saved to some extent, but this is London-the industrial capital of the world!
In a city with a population of nearly ten million, the necessary factory facilities are indispensable. In this era, everyone has no concept of environmental pollution. The factory sewage is discharged on the spot, and life is directly burned.
In contrast, Sofia's situation is going to be much better. The smoke is billowing everywhere, and it is naturally beautiful.
William naturally couldn't get used to staying in London. After getting off the plane, he felt unwell. As if the air here is poisonous, it can suffocate.
If it wasn't for courtesy, and if it wasn't for the task entrusted to him by Ferdinand, William wouldn't mind returning immediately.
For the longing for London, he swears that anyone who longs to live here is a fool!
He dare not imagine, is this ghost place, or the most livable city in the world?
Doesn't the British media have a bit of morale?
Answer: No!
Would it not hurt their conscience to make London the most livable city in the world?
Answer: No!
"His Highness, here is Henry the Duke of Gloucester!" The attendant reminded
(Note: third son of Henry George V, Duke of Gloucester)
"It's been a long time since William, welcome to London!" Said Henry, Duke of Gloucester.
(Note: The ranks of European nobles are very chaotic. They are not immediate relatives, and usually people don't care about their ranks.)
"Thank you!"
"Henry, has it always been the weather in London?" William asked in confusion.
"No, just for three or four months, it will be fine after winter!" Henry said calmly.
It looks like he's used to it and doesn't think there is anything wrong. Moreover, industrial cities in this era are all like this, environmental pollution is inevitable.
"God, this is really bad news, don't you just manage it?" William frowned.
As long as he thinks of the next few months and spends in this ghost place, his mood is not good.
"No matter? How? No matter what the weather is, this is managed by God and his elderly man, we can't control it!" Henry shrugged and said
"Hell! Shut down those messy factories, wouldn't it?
You know, just when I got off the plane, I smelled bad gas, just like I fell into a garbage dump! William frowned.
In his opinion, this is a very simple question. As long as a decree moves these factories to move, London's pollution can be reduced by more than half.
"God, did I hear you right? William, your solution is 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 earnestly
"Is this difficult?" William asked in confusion.
"It's not a difficult question, but it can't be done at all!
The capitalists will not agree, which will cause 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, these problems can be solved, and we can take it easy.
For example, it is forbidden to open more factories, order certain industries to move out within a certain period of time, and the government will pay a little relocation fee to relocate the industrial park. Prince William thought for a while and said
These measures have been used by Ferdinand, and the results are still very good, William said directly.
"Oh, I think, let ’s give the government a headache, you know, our two countries are different!" Henry said with a frown.
William nodded, and he knew the problem. It is easy to renounce rights, but it is difficult to get them back again. George V gave up his rights at the beginning of his succession. Now if he intervenes in these issues, it is not a favor.
"Change the topic, how are you preparing? It won't be long before we may become neighbors!" William asked with concern.
"This matter is very troublesome. We must know that we have a big appetite this time and we will succeed without a certain degree of certainty!
Although the government agrees to cooperate with our actions, this support may be very limited, and it is still difficult to obtain such a large benefit at one time! Henry thought for a while
"Of course, it won't be that simple! There are thirteen kingdoms in North America. Your father has three crowns. Now your family needs three more, and my family needs four.
This time it was almost won by our Gotha family. Where is such a cheap thing?
However, as long as you can handle the government, I think this problem is still small. Don't forget that we are behind the two most powerful countries in the world!
As long as we work together, no one can stop our actions! "William said aggressively
William didn't make nonsense, and Britain and Bulgaria joined forces to really do very little in this world.
But the problem is that the British royal family cannot rule the government?
It is difficult for the British Cabinet to verbally support their actions. It is difficult for them to give their full support.
Why choose to act at this time? It's not because Stanley Baldwin's cabinet is about to leave. From the current situation, the possibility of their stay in office is almost zero.
At this time, many things can be negotiated. Everyone is a human being. They have all emotions and desires to use their power to seek benefits for themselves. Is it any wonder?
Including Henry, they are so active, not for their own benefit. North America is not a remote country, and it is not much worse than the European continent.
At this time in the past, being a king, the benefits behind are naturally indispensable, even if it is the rubber stamp king, the resources in his hands. Neither is an ordinary aristocrat comparable.
If only one or two crowns were to be operated, it would be easy for the two kings' houses, but this time the appetite was too big, so it was delayed.
No way, who made this generation of the British and Bulgarian royal families productive?
George V had five sons and one daughter. The daughter was already married. Naturally, George V did not need to worry about other people's homes. The younger son was unfortunately hung up, otherwise it would not be three crowns.
Ferdinand even has six sons. In addition to the eldest son and second son, the next few children are staring at each other?
Poor parents, Ferdinand had to make every effort to fight for them.
Henry frowned. He couldn't say such a domineering word. The British royal family now has no confidence and let the government do everything for them!
This is not the same as getting a cabinet. There are only a few cabinet members. There are ways to get them to cooperate, but it is difficult for members of the parliament.
George V was not Edward VII, nor Queen Victoria, and he did not have the ability to say everything!
"Of course, as long as we join forces, no enemy is a concern!" Henry thought for a moment.
Even if this time the two royal families joined forces and could not mobilize all the resources, it did not mean that their strength was weak.
The strength of the British royal family is not comparable in 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, not to mention the royal family?
This is also the place where the king of Europe most admires Ferdinand ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to do things with the money in his own pocket, always distressed.
With the Bulgarian royal family's super high annuity, these problems no longer exist, and you can use these money to buy people's hearts boldly and safely.
This is also Ferdinand's greatest wealth left by his children and grandchildren. A huge annuity must not be carried in his pockets, and it cannot be saved. Of course, is it going to be spent?
How to spend? Just a university asked, if it was silly to donate, it is water in my head.
As a king, you can buy people upright and bright, and no one can say that you did wrong!
For example, in a peaceful era, we have a private army that only takes orders from ourselves, and for example, we use it as a show and buy people's hearts.
These investments are all profitable. All the expenses can be recovered through other industries, turning the royal family into a brand. The cost of collecting the naming rights is an astronomical figure.
Of course, this is the most trashy method. As a king, it is the top wave of the nobles. No matter how the situation changes, you are a chess player.
This is very important. The one who always stands at the top of the world is the player who plays chess, followed by the chess pieces, and the worst thing is the people who do not even have the qualifications to play chess.
Ferdinand is in action, and other big nobles in Europe are in action. Eggs are not put in a basket. Everyone understands this.
It's time to finally reveal the hole cards, and this time William's trip to London, since it is a joint operation, naturally it is necessary to carry out in-depth communication.
