After Naresh finished talking about coal, the entire parliament hall fell into silence!
Coal is now a mineral resource that all countries are competing for. This is one of the most necessary fuels for the operation of steam engines.
Today's coal is called the blood of industry.
Liu Zheng's guest couldn't hide his excitement on his face. He looked at Liu Zheng subconsciously, wishing he could agree on the spot instead of Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng shook his head and refused: "There is no shortage of coal dragon flames, so let's skip it."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Liu Zheng's guest couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, coal is the blood of industry now!"
Liu Zheng glanced at him and stopped him from continuing.
Naresh was even more puzzled. In his opinion, coal was the most sincere thing they had ever shown.
This is a resource that the whole world is fighting for.
Everyone knows the importance of industrialization, so they all want to master these important resources and enable their countries to quickly enter industrialization.
Although Long Yan has now established many factories, according to social standards, Long Yan has already entered industrialization.
But this does not mean that Long Yan does not need any coal.
Longyan has no colonial areas and uses its own products and money to trade with other countries.
In other words, they have no way to get cheaper coal.
Naresh thought that his move was a gift to Long Yan.
But Liu Zheng refused, this?
Naresh frowned. Although the spread of smallpox was likely to harm the country, it could always recover.
In order to quell smallpox, the bargaining chip he gave was already very exciting. If Liu Zheng wanted the lion to open his mouth, they would have to find other ways.
"We, Long Yan, are willing to exploit a resource called oil in Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia can only transport this resource to Long Yan within three years."
"We Longyan will also pay money."
Liu Zheng said lightly.
Naresh was stunned: "Oil?"
He had never heard of such a thing. Not only him, but also Liu Zheng's guest heard of such a thing for the first time.
Liu Zheng casually took out a small bottle, and the viscous substance inside was petroleum.
Naresh frowned when he looked at such a weird thing.
They have seen similar things before, but they have never found such things useful.
There is no record in history of the use of such a thing.
Liu Zheng said: "This kind of thing is also called a panacea. I once saw the indigenous people in an ancient tribe using these things as medicine."
"He has many names, but few take advantage of them."
Although Liu Zheng said this, Naresh had an unfamiliar expression on his face.
But what Liu Zheng wants is definitely not ordinary things.
"Sir, can you tell us more about its efficacy?"
Liu Zheng said without concealment: "It's flammable. This is his biggest characteristic."
Naresh nodded, then smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, please let us know in advance that we will have a pleasant cooperation."
Liu Zheng stood up, shook hands with Naresh and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The relationship between Tsarist Russia and Long Yan was officially reconciled, and there was even cooperation.
Naresh felt that he had made a lot of money. He had made a lot of money by exchanging such 'flammable' resources for so many medical resources.
Now the smallpox problem could be solved.
For Liu Zheng, this is also good news.
Soon automobiles would appear to replace horse-drawn carriages, and internal combustion engines would power generators and other factory machinery.
Oil will be an even more important resource in the future.
In the future, coal will eventually be eliminated as the industrial blood.
…
At this time, America.
After the Boston Tea Party, a lot of problems broke out across Britain.
There were voices of resistance in thirteen continents.
The entire colonial area in North America was almost at a standstill. Clintsy looked at the colonial area that he had supported, and it had now become a mess.
Clancy is now in a state of ruin.
But the British Ambassador Sheldon, who was in the British Colonial Area, came in angrily: "Clintsy, what time has it been, and you are still in the mood to stay in the office."
"There are now signs of rebellion in thirteen continents. If this continues, there will be great turmoil in Britain, do you know?"
Clancy glanced at Sheldon and said calmly: "I know, but what can I do now?"
"The Thompson Act is crushing the people of Britain, unless it is repealed."
"Britain's soldiers and the rest of us will be pushed out by the angry immigrants."
Sheldon gritted his teeth and looked at Clancy, and said coldly: "This is an order from His Majesty, and no one can change it!"
Clincy spread his hands and said, "Then there is nothing I can do."
"No one can solve the problem of rebellion without repealing these taxes imposed on immigrants in America."
"Of course, Britain attacks with troops, but in doing so, no one can predict how long America will be shut down."
"Does Britain now need to start a war in America?"
Sheldon took a deep breath. The British army had just experienced a war, and the huge military expenditures had not yet been funded.
The national treasury has not yet been replenished, and a series of plans such as the industrialization of Britain have to be carried out.
Dreadnought-class battleships need to be produced, and everything costs money.
If Britain starts a war in America, a region with complex forces, Britain's finances will definitely be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Sheldon exhaled and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we cannot start a war. I will rush back to Britain now."
Hearing this, Clincy nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.
"I won't send it."
Clintsy watched Sheldon leave, feeling relieved. Sheldon's departure freed up Clintsy.
Only now could he completely free his hands and feet to appease the anger of American immigrants.
"Go with me and cancel the sugar tax and stamp duty."
"yes."
Clintsy looked at the map of the thirteen colonial areas in the Americas and eagerly issued his order.
The tea tax is understandable and has little impact on American immigrants, but the stamp tax and sugar tax must be abolished.
Otherwise, the current turmoil will continue to grow.
After the decree was issued, as expected, the rebellion in the British colonial areas gradually subsided.
George got the policy of abolishing sugar duty and stamp duty and said nothing.
But Green found George: "George, now that the sugar tax and stamp duty have been cancelled, our plan will be postponed. I heard that the beliefs of other colonial councilors have been shaken."
George smiled faintly and handed a piece of information to Green.
He said calmly: "I just got the news that the ambassador of Britain returned to Britain in a hurry yesterday. Why do you think he left?"
"Why?" Green was stunned and frowned.
"The plan remains unchanged and will be implemented as usual."
