The white blood cells no longer sent out small teams to explore the rainforest, but began to build various defensive steel bunkers.

Obviously, the "New World" in their eyes has made them extremely fearful. They no longer act rashly, but first adopt a defensive posture to defend against the invasion of alienated people from the "New World".

But at the same time, they are still actively conducting aircraft experiments to find ways for flying devices to enter the "New World".

On the United Kingdom side, the experience of Arafat, an important member of the Joint Intelligence Agency, has led to a consensus among the top leaders of the United Kingdom.

However, competing for dominance in the New World has naturally become a new goal for each faction.

But because the New World side temporarily ceased operations, for a few months, they were in peace with each other.

At this time, Lu Ming came to the royal capital - New Newman City again.

The Banshanbao Military Club has become extremely lively in the past few days due to the arrival of the commander.

…

Underground secret room, dim light.

It's not that Henry II didn't have the conditions to make this place comfortable and bright, but as a tradition for the king, holding a secret meeting with the closest ministers seems to be the only way to reveal the secret of the meeting and the close relationship between the king and the ministers.

Henry II was sitting at the head of the long table, and his expression was not very good.

Participating in this meeting were his eldest son, Archduke Peter of Neumannburg, and his second son, Prince Edward.

Logically speaking, the eldest son Peter has been awarded the title of Grand Duke of Neumannburg, which means that he is the legal heir of the United Kingdom.

But Henry II always loved his second son Edward very much.

This kind of secret meeting requires Prince Edward to attend, which is evident.

Edward's name was even taken from the name of the last emperor of the old empire, the father of Alice, the eldest prince William V, and the second prince Henry II.

Edward is the adopted son of Henry II. He is sixteen years old this year. He was a swaddled baby that Henry II picked up from a village during the war.

But it is said that Edward was actually the illegitimate son of Henry II. His mother committed suicide in order to allow her son to enter the royal court without exposing a scandal that would affect her son's future.

In this way, even if this scandal is spread, it will be Prince Edward who gets sympathy.

Not to mention, everyone is saying that Edward's mother is actually a member of the powerful Thorngrass family.

Edward seems to be very close to the Nansen family, the representatives of the Thorngrass family's worldly power.

His engaged father-in-law is one of the most important members of the Nansen Consortium.

The Nansen Consortium is the richest super consortium in the United Kingdom today.

The Imperial Continent, the independent department in charge of monetary policy, is the Imperial Joint Savings Committee and the Nansen Bank of the Nansen Group. It was one of the latest representatives to enter the committee ten years ago.

The Imperial Joint Reserve Committee was composed of independent representatives from the most powerful banks in the imperial continent.

The more well-known ones are Imperial Bank, Hoyin Bank, etc.

Even during the Civil War, the structure of the Joint Reserve Board never changed.

Because even the most stupid person knows that once the neutral nature of the Joint Reserve Committee is destroyed, no one will benefit, and the economic system of the Imperial Continent can only completely collapse.

The Joint Reserve Committee formulates an imperial coin issuance plan every year to determine the issuance quantities of various denominations. This plan is based on estimates of currency demand across the entire imperial continent and considerations of the balance between currency supply and demand.

It is somewhat similar to the Euro issuance process that Lu Ming knew in his previous life.

The difference is that in the empire continent, only the United Kingdom, the Kingdom of Han, the Kingdom of East Grifenni and the Eastern Economic Zone headed by Donghai are the four core distribution areas.

Only these four core areas are eligible to receive the new imperial coins issued in the form of national bonds (regional bonds).

The confederations in other regions are just like some countries with economic collapse in previous generations. They do not have the credit and qualifications to issue currency, but they use foreign strong credit currencies as their currency.

To a greater or lesser extent, these four major areas will suck some blood, but from the perspective of overall economic development, becoming a circulation area for strong credit currency will still be more beneficial to ordinary people.

Otherwise, if the rulers who do not understand economics can print money as they please, they may seem to have independent sovereignty, but most of the results will be that the poor in the region suffer.

As for the Federal Reserve Committee, although being on the committee only represents the strength of the bank, there is no substantial benefit.

But no matter what, it is inevitable that the second prince, Prince Edward, will receive the support of the Nansen Consortium.

Except for Henry II and the two princes, the rest of the people attending the meeting were all ministers whom Henry II considered to be loyal.

Admiral Augustus, special military adviser to the Privy Council.

Member of the Privy Council and First Controller General Dönitz.

Member of the Privy Council, Commander of the Southern Military District, and Governor of the Gede District, General Bute.

Duke Siedler, Lord Chancellor of the Privy Council.

Lord Woods, Senior Counsel of the Privy Council and former Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench.

Lord Gurt, Advisor to the Privy Council on Commonwealth Affairs and former Speaker of the Privy Council.

Earl Morris, member of the Privy Council and Speaker of the House of Lords.

Member of the Privy Council, Member of the Cabinet, and Minister of Special Affairs for the Northern Territory, Anderson.

Lieutenant General Candice, Secret Intelligence Adviser to the Privy Council.

Nine people in total.

In fact, the membership of the Privy Council is extremely large, such as the Prime Minister and all cabinet ministers; the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords and the House of Commons; all the Justices of the Court of Queen's Bench, the Commanders of the Joint Conference of Commanders, etc., are all legal members of the Privy Council.

However, these people do not actually attend Privy Council meetings. They only attend major ceremonies such as royal weddings and successions as members of the Privy Council.

For Henry II's true confidants, they were the permanent ministers in the Privy Council.

As far as the cronies among the cronies are concerned, it is these nine people.

However, most of them have no actual power.

For example, former Speaker Lord Gurt.

Generally speaking, after all, the former speaker was once the leader of an extremely powerful ruling party, and even if he steps down, he will still have considerable influence in the political world.

But Lord Gurt was the Speaker during the war. After the war, real democratic elections came, and his party soon suffered a disastrous defeat.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The only serving cabinet member is the Northern Territory Affairs Minister Andy Anderson.

For the Han Kingdom in the Northern Territory, the United Kingdom specially set up a minister of affairs in the cabinet to deal with all matters in the Northern Territory.

Because Andy has more than ten years of experience and qualifications in dealing with all aspects of the Northern Territory.

As a result, Henry II appointed him and he was able to stay in office during the two changes of prime ministers in the cabinet.

The convening of today's secret meeting was mainly due to a surprising piece of news brought by Anderson from the Northern Territory.

It is a secret letter written by His Majesty King Lu Ming of the Han Kingdom to Henry II personally, and brought back by Anderson from Xinjing.

Although he was a close confidant of Henry II, no one here had seen the original document. The documents in front of them contained several key points of the secret letter.

There are not many words, just a thin page of paper, but the message is astonishing.

The Han Kingdom of the Northern Territory unexpectedly discovered a secret passage to the New World from the northeastern sea. Moreover, after capturing people from the New World for research, they deciphered its language, which was similar to an ancient language of the people on the northeastern frontier of the Northern Territory Kingdom.

The letter gave a brief introduction to the situation in the New World.

Giant corporate culture, eradication of heretics, etc.

His Majesty Lu Ming finally proposed to launch an attack on the New World through the Northern Passage, but the United Kingdom and the continental federations would need to assume corresponding obligations.

To put it bluntly, it is human resources and material resources.

"We assume that the information in this letter is true and correct. Let's talk about how we should respond to this letter." Henry II's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers.

Lu Ming nodded inwardly. Henry II was very shrewd. If he didn't use this premise, he might have spent a long time arguing whether the information in the letter was true or false.

This kind of time-consuming debate is completely unnecessary. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the best solution is to come up with the best way to deal with it.

Candice glanced at Lu Ming for a few times, wondering what her mysterious friend's true intention was in writing this letter.

"The information in this letter is true..." Lu Ming was the first to speak.

Everyone was startled and looked at him.

Lu Ming continued: "Actually, two months ago, I discovered a passage to the New World."

Everyone was startled.

Lu Ming took out a map. There was a red line in the rain forest of southern Xinjiang.

Lu Ming continued: "This red line can be seen as the barrier that originally separated the New Continent and the Imperial Continent. The two continents are actually connected by a very narrow part, about tens of kilometers in the north-south direction. But now, the continents are connected.

Part of the barrier disappeared, and the bunkers and steel fortresses built by the New World's armed groups actually put these dozens of kilometers on complete alert."

"However, I have been thinking that these unknown barriers cannot be just a problem in the connecting part of the continent, so I have been sending people to explore along the red line." Lu Ming's hand slowly moved along the red line, and finally, at

The southern red line connecting the continents was designated at one point. "Sure enough, the barrier was not only broken in the part connecting the continents. From here, a very narrow passage also appeared. We originally thought that the east side of the rain forest was still a rain forest, but in fact it was not.

Yes, it turns out that, except for the narrow area where the two continents are connected, further south, the east side of our rainforest is actually a beach, with about a hundred kilometers of bay in the middle. On the other side of the bay is the fishing port of the New World, my

The subordinates secretly sneaked into the New World one after another, and also obtained some information that the Northern Territory seemed not to find out or was unwilling to share with us. I also went to the fishing port for a few days..."

After a pause, he looked at Henry II, "I just came back from the New World yesterday, and I came to the royal capital to report my findings to you."

"Oh, tell me, what did you find?" Henry II's eyes flashed with excitement.

Lu Ming took out a pamphlet from his document bag, stood up, walked over in person, and placed it in front of Henry II.
