At this moment, Britain, inside Buckingham Palace.
The House of Lords of Britain also sits here, with George III at the head.
Others took their seats in turn.
Most of the MPs are British aristocrats. They are well-dressed and look noble.
The conference hall seemed to be resplendent with their arrival.
But with one exception, sitting under the Minister of Finance was a ragged creature with long hair that could be called a primitive savage.
In stark contrast to these glamorous congressmen, everything about his existence seemed out of place.
Originally, these congressmen ignored his existence.
They believe that their noble status as members of parliament has always been a symbol of nobility, and sitting with such a guy is simply an insult to them.
But they have to accept this fact.
Because of this person's specialness, they must sit and sit with him.
They looked at him with a bit of pity.
But this man's face is as ugly as eating bitter melon.
King George III looked at the congressmen who had arrived today and started the meeting agenda. He was the first to speak and asked: "Regarding the formation of the Dreadnought-class fleet, Commander of the Navy, how are the preparations going?"
The navy commander who was asked raised a brow on his old face, snorted coldly, and said calmly: "You have to ask the ministers of the Ministry of Finance."
"Why hasn't it been finalized yet? Haven't they already come to negotiate with us about Long Yan's giant steam engine?"
Upon hearing these words, George III's eyes fell on the Minister of Finance and asked: "What's going on with the Minister of Finance?"
"The Dreadnought-class battleship is our top priority in Britain right now."
"This is directly related to our struggle for hegemony at sea!"
"Don't forget, Long Yan's fleet is much stronger than us now."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience looked unhappy.
Although the British fleet did not have a head-on confrontation with the Longyan fleet, they witnessed it countless times.
How did the French fleet become vulnerable to the Dragon Flame fleet?
Britain, which claims to be the overlord of the sea, was a little frightened after seeing this scene.
Fights between warships are often the simplest competition of technological level.
Britain believes that they have fleet artillery that is not weaker than the Dragon Flame Army.
But the giant steam engine that is the core of the battleship, since they saw the speed of the Longyan supply ship, they no longer dare to claim to be the best in the world.
Although they don't know the tonnage of the supply ship, they have all seen that thing.
That kind of volume and tonnage will definitely not be too low.
Long Yan's giant steam engine can actually move such a huge supply ship at high speed. This is simply a miracle.
So they are eager to get Longyan's giant steam engine and develop a more powerful battleship.
Britain's top brass named it the Dreadnought-class battleship.
The Finance Minister, the most powerful minister second only to the British Prime Minister, was facing the gazes of all the members of the Parliament, his face was ashen.
He said solemnly: "This matter is not that we don't want to trade with Long Yan, but that there is no precedent for such a large-scale transaction between countries."
"The plan we came up with is to use silver for direct transactions, just like private organizations."
"But looking at it now, the silver we need to pay is too much. There are a lot of this kind of things in Long Yan Country, and silver is not that valuable."
"They can't convert silver into Dragon Flame currency, or they'll be destitute."
"But in our Britain, silver is hard currency."
"If we use gold, Long Yan's losses will be huge, so we haven't discussed a good way yet."
