    "Your Excellency Prime Minister, the gold francs in the hands of the Bank of England are about to be exhausted, and the pound banknotes have become useless paper! Farmers everywhere are unwilling to exchange their grain, meat and dairy products for banknotes. Food in London, Manchester, Liverpool and other places  The inventory can no longer support it for long"

    The speaker was Baron Revelstoke, Edward Charles Baring, the former general manager of Baring Brothers, the current president of the Bank of England, and the commander-in-chief of this battle to defend the pound.  !His Baring family is a well-known banking family in the UK and has always been the biggest competitor of the Rothschild family in the UK.  At the same time, it follows the game rules of the bourgeois dictatorship of "excellence in business leads to officialdom".  The Baring family is also a well-known political and business family in the British political arena.  Thomas Baring, Earl of Northbrook, the just-retired Governor-General of British India, came from the Baring family.

    "So the days of the British Empire are numbered?" Fatty Qiu looked very calm, as if he was not the Prime Minister of the British Empire, but a tribune of the Roman Empire.  "Then the guillotine will be erected on Whitehall Street (the way Charles I died), and first my fat head will be chopped off, and then the heads of the King, the Prince and the Duchess of Windsorand maybe you Leif  Baron Stocker's head."

    "Mr. Prime Minister, I think we deserve it, but we should still think of some way to save our heads." Edward Baring also looked calm.  "Because the head is very important."

    "I agree with this," Robert Churchill nodded, "but I am afraid that most people in this country will not agree to this request of ours Even if they can spare our lives, I am afraid they will not let us continue to enjoy glory and wealth.  Right? I suppose it would be better to rot away in some dark dungeon than to be beheaded on Whitehall Street."

    "Perhaps there is a way to get the best of all three. Save your head. Save your wealth. Save your empire"

    Robert Churchill laughed a few times, and then looked at Bahrain with stern eyes, "Okay, Baron, tell me your suggestion, or Napoleon IV's suggestion!"

    Although the Baring family was not among the "four major British thieves" appointed by Napoleon IV, Robert Churchill knew very well that the Baring family and the Rothschild family were the biggest beneficiaries of this war to defend the pound!  Barings and Rothschild UK in the past two months.  Has always been the largest buyer of gold francs on the London foreign exchange market.  According to the information available to Churchill, each of the two major banks purchased up to 1.285 billion gold francs!  Although they all claim to be buying for bank customers, I am afraid only God and the top executives of these two banks know what the actual situation is

    "And the whereabouts of these gold francs after flowing into Barings Bank and Rothschild Bank of England, Robert Churchill could guess with his heels.  Although the British Parliament had long passed a decree prohibiting the illegal outflow of gold, silver and foreign exchange during wartime.  But this kind of decree is simply a piece of waste paper for banking giants like the Baring family and the Rothschild family, as well as political dignitaries like the Churchill family.

    Napoleon IV¡¯s speech was not entirely wrong. Indeed, a large number of gold francs had flowed out of Britain in the past few months, all at the same time.  There¡¯s also an abundance of art, antiques, jewelry, and talent of all kinds.  And of course the only one who can accept all this is the Roman Empire!  If the failure happening now in the United States is Mexico's success.  Well, in Europe, the Roman Empire also benefited greatly from Britain's failure.

    Britain is now like a luxury cruise ship that is about to sink, but there are no lifeboats on the cruise ship for all passengers and crew to escape.  The crew - that is, politicians and officials like Churchill - can only lock the passage door from the lower-class cabins on the lower deck to the upper deck, and then arrange for the rich and powerful passengers staying in the luxurious cabins to return  On their own, they boarded a lifeboat to escape to a larger and more luxurious cruise ship "Roma" next to it.

    In Europe of this era, this kind of thing is actually an unspoken rule that everyone is well aware of.  Including Robert Churchill himself, he also transferred tens of millions of gold francs to Mexico in the past two months This is why Robert Churchill knew that the Roman Empire's rescue plan was not well-intentioned, but he did not hesitate to accept it -  -What the Roman Empire provided was actually a way to escape from England. If Robert Churchill refused, he would immediately become a thorn in the side of the entire empire!

    And now, the upper-class British figures who can escape through this "channel" have already transferred part of their property and can leave at any time.  And the only thing left for them in the UK is to arrange the aftermath - to arrange the best possible future for the British Empire, and at the same time to lay the groundwork for their own future comeback.  Revolutions are not uncommon in Europe, and restoration of dynasties overthrown by revolutions also happens frequently.  Napoleon IV¡¯s father, Napoleon III, was not aThe emperor who led the restoration of the Bonaparte dynasty?  He had been in exile in England for a long time with his supporters before the Restoration, and now it was the turn of the great men here in England to go into exile in Rome.

    "Augustus believes that the only way out for Britain is revolution just like the United States!" Edward Baring looked at Robert Churchill with a faint expression. His answer was tantamount to admitting collusion with Rome.  But for Britain, which is currently in turmoil, this is not a sin at all.

    ¡°What a good way out!¡± Robert Churchill muttered.

    "Revolution is like a bankruptcy liquidation For a company that is heavily in debt and can no longer repay it, bankruptcy is the best way out!" Edward Baring shrugged. "If there is no revolution in the United States, how will Americans end this?  A war? If we want to negotiate with the Chinese, a compensation of 10 billion gold francs is inevitable, right?¡±

    The big boss of Barings Bank smiled slightly, "But what about now? The Chinese have nothing to do with an America that is in the midst of a violent revolution The American Revolutionary Committee is not even willing to sign an armistice agreement with the Chinese that does not require the payment of reparations."

    This is true!  The Ming Emperor Zhu Guoxiong was really helpless against the tough stance of the American Revolutionary Committee.  If the war is to be further expanded to occupy areas with dense white populations such as the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, then additional troops must be sent to North America, at least one million or more - among the more than two million troops of the North American Army, there are already 150  One hundred thousand people were used to occupy the territory.  The remaining more than one million people were also exhausted after two years of hard work, and logistical supplies also began to encounter difficulties.  If you rush eastward without reinforcements, you are likely to suffer failure.  But it is not in line with Zhu Guoxiong's grand strategy to use millions of people and countless weapons, ammunition and supplies to help Huan destroy the United States

    "What's the point of talking to a bunch of lunatics!" Robert Churchill snorted disdainfully, "Besides, the Chinese have already gotten most of what they want, so there is no need to continue fighting for reparations that the Americans cannot afford.  "

    "Not only compensation, but also debts" Edward Baring said calmly, "Barings Bank alone lost hundreds of millions of gold francs! The entire loss of British investors on U.S. bonds is probably no less than 50 billion gold francs! And!  The current pound crisis was largely caused by the American Revolution!" He sighed softly, "In fact, the vaults of all British banks are filled with American bonds. If these bonds are treated as waste paper,  Then all the banks in Britain will go bankrupt Every well-dressed banker is actually a debt-ridden pauper!"

    "A revolution is the only way out for you people!" Robert Churchill coldly said the subtext that Edward Baring did not say.

    If there is no revolution in Britain, British bankers must be responsible for the failure of their investments in the United States. That is a loss of tens of billions of gold francs, which cannot be compensated at all!  Moreover, the losses they absorbed from foreign currency deposits and invested in British bonds were also too high to be calculated.

    In fact, the huge funds transferred to Rome by the British banking families did not belong to them, but to thousands of British depositors.  The banks they managed were already insolvent, and they could only recoup some of their losses by embezzling depositors' property.  But such behavior is a crime in any country.  Once the incident comes to light.  All the British bankers will probably spend the rest of their lives in dark prisons.

    And after a hurricane of proletarian revolution, who is still interested in pursuing the problem of bank bad debts before the outbreak of the revolution?

    "This is also the only way out for you, Mr. Prime Minister, and the British royal family" Edward Baring spread his hands and said with a smile, "Let the revolution take over this mess. After a few years or more than ten years, when the people's revolution  When the enthusiasm has passed, we can fight back with the support of Rome. In this way, everything in the past can be wiped out, and the British Empire can start from scratch."

    ¡®I don¡¯t know if the British Empire can start over again, but the Barings and Rothschilds can restart their banking business in Europe!  ¡¯ Robert Churchill thought in his heart.

    "How many more years or ten years will it take?" Robert Churchill sighed, "Okay, I will consider your suggestion. But the final decision lies with Buckingham Palace."

    "Of course, such a matter must be decided by His Majesty the King, but it must be done quickly." Edward Baring stood up to leave, walked to the door and suddenly turned back, "Your Excellency, according to reliable information, the British Socialist Party is infiltrating the Army in London.  ¡­If we don¡¯t hurry up, we may repeat the tragedy of 1649!¡±

    "I know, I'll go see the king right away." Robert Churchill smiled and nodded, "I don't want to be chopped off."??.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
