Chapter 1256 Robbery, that’s Daying’s old profession (first update, please subscribe)
In Southern Africa, our interests are common!
There is absolutely no doubt, after all, gold can tie everyone's interests together, there is no doubt about it.
When the two entered the smoking room of the club, as soon as they sat down, several well-dressed gentlemen came over and greeted Pearson enthusiastically. Now, no one cares about Pearson's too ordinary background.
People even deliberately try to please him. Perhaps Britain is a society that values family background, but in fact, all people are very realistic. They may look down on the nouveau riche, but if the nouveau riche are rich enough, they will definitely
They won't reject her, just like those shabby aristocrats marrying upstarts in the United States.
Now, in London's upper class, people only see Pearson, who has a huge fortune of millions of pounds, and his South African mining company. Everyone is envious of the wealth in his hands.
Of course, people are also paying attention to his investment. After his successful experience of "turning stone into gold" in southern Africa, there are countless people in London holding banknotes in their hands, begging him to accept their investment. However, it has always been
Since then, Pearson has been extremely picky about investors, just as the investors he accepts now are not ordinary people, but elites from the British upper class.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just the combination of power and money.
Amidst the smoke of cigars and the aroma of whiskey, after a group of people chatted for a while, the topic naturally turned to the gold mines in southern Africa, the greedy taxes of the Transvasilans, and, of course, the gold mines.
Regarding the importance of Britain, the topic finally returned to some of their ideas.
"What do we think? As the importance of gold mines continues to emerge, especially the increasing output of the Rand Gold Mine, the Transylvanian government is bound to increase tax revenues."
"This is obviously unacceptable!"
"I heard that the Transylvanian government is increasing tariffs on explosives and various mining equipment..."
"They are trying every possible means to take away the gold mines from our hands..."
…
"This is the civil servant of the empire."
Listening to their talk, Pearson thought in his mind that these are indeed just a group of civil servants, they seem to be a group of "clerks" who are not worth mentioning. Their voices may not be heard in Congress, but as everyone knows, it is the people who watch
Seemingly inconspicuous, they directly determine the development of things - they dominate the ministers, and the ministers dominate the country.
"As long as they stand on the side of the gold mines, the British Empire will soon sound the clarion call to Germany!"
Why did they blow the marching horn?
In fact, Pearson knew very well what he needed?
It is nothing more than a drummer advocating the expansion of the British colony in South Africa. To a certain extent, the mining company needs such a drummer as the company's political backer, but on the other hand, doesn't Pearson know that including the powerful people in London?
, I don’t know how many British people are eyeing the mining company. Whenever there is an opportunity, these wolf-like characters will pounce on the company and then swallow the company’s fat meat.
The only good thing now is that the UK is at least a legal society. At least on the surface, the British system can still provide certain protection to companies. If it were in South America or some other country, the mining company might have been directly confiscated by the powerful.
.
But, how long can this situation last?
Of course, it doesn't matter, not even to the mining companies.
After all, for the empire, the mining company was just a bait, a bait to lure the British Empire to take the bait.
Because of this, he doesn't feel threatened by those greedy guys at all. To a certain extent, he needs those greedy guys to join his company or even devour his company.
Only in this way can we complete the tasks assigned by our family!
What is his mission?
It was to use the fat of gold mines to attract the British and Swaziland.
Just like the old Chinese saying goes - "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit"!
The empire wants to be the fisherman!
But when will Britain and Swaziland conflict?
However, these issues are not important now. The most important issue now is what decision the UK will make when faced with Transversal trying to exclude British capital and immigrant penetration, and even want to take away the gold mines bit by bit.
?
Will it be war?
war……
Frowning, Pearson asked the senior civil servants in front of him with a smile, and then said:
"So, gentlemen, how should we protect the interests of the British Empire there? Now Transversal is rejecting British immigrants and attacking British power in the local area. Even my company is suffering from some kind of discrimination.
, gentlemen, what can the British Empire do for me?"
Responding to his query, Mr Wiesel, the prime minister's senior secretary, said:
"Mr. Pearson, please believe that the British Empire will never ignore your interests and be invaded, but now... the time is not mature enough."
"Mr. Wiesel, maybe we can create some opportunities!"
Create opportunities?
Facing other people's suggestions, Weasel thought about it and then said.
"Even creating opportunities requires some reasons!"
"Reason, Mr. Weatherall,"
Pearson said,
"I believe that in the days to come, they will definitely come to their door with reasons."
In fact, for imperialists, what reason do they need to expand there? If they need a reason, they will create a reason. If they need an excuse, they will also create an excuse.
That evening, Pearson had dinner with an official from the Colonial Office. What topics were they discussing there? Of course it was topics related to expanding British influence in Transvaalland. In fact, to put it bluntly,
I just hope to do everything possible to stimulate the Swaziland side and increase the blow to the British.
The official enjoying the steak looked back at the "employer" sitting in front of him.
"I'm not sure I would do that, sir," he said after thinking for a moment.
"I have to think about, you know, what this means, almost war."
"perhaps,"
Pearson nodded.
"Of course you have to think about it carefully. But what we all know is that this is also an opportunity, an opportunity for all of us to gain wealth. Maybe this needs to be considered again and again, but if you miss this opportunity, sir, maybe one day
, the gold mine belongs to the Boers, but now we have the opportunity to make it ours..."
"But war..."
"I don't understand what the other person said," Pearson said.
"If we want to expand and gain wealth, when can we avoid war? Moreover, for the British Empire, in the past few hundred years, we have fought too many wars and fought many wars. This is the age of the British Empire.
It’s my job.”
To be precise, it was not war, but robbery. Robbery was the real specialty of the British Empire.
Now all Pearson needs is to get these British people back to work.
Of course, the gold there is enough to make them tempted.
