“Hans was able to do it because Hans confiscated all the property of those merchants who hoarded goods and engaged in speculation in the country!”
Prime Minister Stanley said with gritted teeth. This was an action planned by their British government. They originally planned to disrupt Hans and make the Hans people poorer and more chaotic. Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to achieve their own goals, but they also indirectly helped Hans and gave Hans the opportunity to take action against the merchants.
As a result, many merchants and capitalists in Hans were liquidated, and the wealth and assets in their hands became the property of the Hans government.
Now, the Hans government has the money to complete their economic stimulus plan!
“Can we……”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not know about the secret operation of MI6, so after hearing what Prime Minister Stanley said, his eyes lit up, just like a shark that smelled blood, and suddenly a bold idea came into his head!
“Don’t think about it. The capitalists in our country are different from those in Hans. The main body of Hans’ country is not capitalists but Junker nobles and the army. They are an army disguised as a country, so the influence of businessmen and capitalists is not great. We are based on finance and colonies, so the status of capitalists and businessmen in our country is very high. If you dare to hit them, they will take your life!”
Prime Minister Stanley warned the Chancellor of the Exchequer in stern words, and these words scared everyone so that they never dared to hit such an idea again.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that Prime Minister Stanley’s words make sense.
Hans was transformed from a Teutonic Knights from the beginning.
They had an army first and then a country.
The country was initially under military control.
This country is very different from the British Empire and other countries in the world.
They are very different.
The long-term military control has led to the emergence of military nobles such as Junker nobles in Hans.
They have replaced the status of capitalists and big chaebols in various countries.
They are actually the people who can influence and control the situation in Hans.
The status of businessmen and capitalists in Hans is far less than that of Junker nobles!
“I understand!”
Thinking of this, the Chancellor of the Exchequer suddenly came to his senses!
“What do you understand?”
Everyone saw him startled and was curious about what he was thinking.
“Do you remember the coup in Hans last year? That coup was said to be launched by the Junker nobles, but the final result was a failure. The Junker nobles were strongly suppressed and liquidated by Mainz. Since the Junker nobles have such a high status in Hans, they should have a lot of resources in their hands, right?”
“Are you saying that the source of the funds for the 100 billion mark economic stimulus plan proposed by the Hans government was obtained when they liquidated the Junker nobles last year?”
Everyone was frightened by the Chancellor’s inference. This possibility is not impossible, and it is very likely!
However, what makes everyone even more uneasy is that if they continue to delve deeper along this line of thought, they will get an even more terrifying conclusion!
The Hans government is much richer than they imagined!
“No wonder our action failed. It turned out that we missed this link. As the largest interest group in Hans, the Junker nobles must have extremely huge wealth in their hands. This money fell into the hands of the Hans government. It is no wonder that they can come up with 100 billion marks to stimulate the economy!”
Hearing this news, everyone envied the Hans government for having so much money in their hands. With such a large sum of money, they successfully survived this economic crisis!
And this is where they are jealous. There is only a Junker noble in the Hans government. Killing the Junker noble can easily reap their wealth. Unfortunately, there is no Junker noble in the country of the Sun, and the power of the big bourgeoisie is too strong. The Sun Never Sets Government dare not take action against them!
Since they dare not take action, then they naturally have no money to use!
“Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s talk about something useful!”
Prime Minister Stanley didn’t want to talk about Hans anymore, because the more he talked about it, the sadder he felt.
“In short, we absolutely cannot allow these people to stay in the country. If we continue to let them stay in the country, we will have neither money nor food, nor jobs for them. Sooner or later, they will become a disaster!”
Prime Minister Stanley made the final decision to send these young people away!
“But where should these people be sent?”
The Foreign Minister frowned and asked hesitantly.
“Send them to foreign colonies. We have so many colonies around the world. These colonies have become disloyal after World War I because of the weakening of our strength. If we don’t restrain them, they are likely to become independent in the future!”
Prime Minister Stanley said worriedly. During this period, the governors of several colonies such as the Maple Leaf Kingdom and Australia began to unite and demanded that the British central government grant them more power. They want to gain greater autonomy!
This is not good news for the British Empire. Greater autonomy means that these colonies are not far from independence!
Due to geographical reasons, the number of native residents in the Maple Leaf Kingdom and Australia is very small. Even if there are any, they have been killed by early immigrants. Therefore, the main population here is actually the descendants of the British Empire’s native immigrants.
It is precisely because the people here are all British Empire people that the British Empire government has shown them special favors and given them greater autonomy, making them dominions.
Compared with Southern Philippines and Asan, the autonomy of these two places is greater.���More.
However, human greed is difficult to satisfy. After they gained a certain degree of autonomy, they began to think about independence and wanted to obtain their own independent government. In this way, the various outputs of their own country would not need to be transported to the British mainland to feed the British people, but could fall into their own pockets for their own enjoyment!
Although the British Empire’s exploitation of the Maple Leaf Country and Australia was not heavy, after all, these people were all descendants of their own country who were related to them by blood, and there would be greater resistance to exploiting them in the British Empire.
However, they were still plundering the resources of these two countries. After the Maple Leaf Country’s food, timber, oil, and some mineral resources were mined, a large part of them would be transported to the British mainland by ships.
Australia’s food, wool, leather and other materials would also be harvested by the British Empire after they were harvested.
These plunders made the people in these two places very dissatisfied. Although they were not treated as colonies, they felt that their labor was cut by the British Empire, so they gradually wanted to get rid of the British Empire and seek independence. Once they were really independent, the British Empire would not be able to continue plundering these things!
When the British Empire was strong, their navy was cruising all over the world, and the governors of these dominions did not dare to mess around. After all, as long as they made a little movement, the British Empire’s navy would kill them!
The army of the dominions obeyed the central government of the British Empire, so they would not stand on the side of the governors of the dominions, which made their independence tendency relatively low, at least hidden and not daring to show it blatantly!
However, during the First World War, in order to fight with Hans, the British Empire withdrew its strength from all over the world and recalled a large number of troops to return to Europe to fight. In addition, in order to support the battle on the front line and solve the country’s economy that was on the verge of collapse, they increased the intensity of exploitation and plunder from the colonies, which made the colonies complain and be very dissatisfied!
The combination of these two reasons, coupled with the continued weakening of the British Empire after the war, gradually made several dominions have different ideas!
So Prime Minister Stanley made this decision, obviously after careful consideration!
Since the Prime Minister has made a decision, everyone must worry about this problem. They just need to execute the Prime Minister’s orders!
However, they have a lot of overseas colonies. Five and a half million people is a lot, but if they are distributed to the colonies of 33 million square kilometers, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. After all, there are 250 million people in a colony in South Asia alone!
“Priority should be given to Maple Leaf Country and Australia. The resources in these two places are very sufficient, whether it is food, land or mineral resources. If they are settled there, at least there will be no problem with food!”
Everyone nodded. It was a bit speechless to say that the living standards of the people in the two colonies of Maple Leaf Country and Australia were actually much higher than that of the British mainland!
In these two places, their arable land area is very large, and there are also a large number of pastures, which makes it not only that there is no shortage of food, but also beef, mutton and various poultry and egg products. Moreover, because it is close to the sea, there are a large number of fishing grounds, so the fishery resources here are very rich.
