By the way, not a penny of the United Kingdom's money can be spent carelessly, because the gentlemen in Parliament are watching. If the government dares to spend 1 billion to 1.2 billion pounds to compete with the Ming Dynasty in the navy, then the pound will depreciate! Once the pound depreciates, won't the lords in Parliament and the capitalists behind them lose a heinous amount of money? How could they agree?
But the money of the Indian Empire can be spent freely. Although the Indian Empire has recently established a parliament, the members of this parliament are all appointed by the Vice-President of India, Prince William. It is impossible for them to control Prince William and prevent him from spending money arbitrarily. of.
So there are only two questions now. One is, can the Indian Empire spend as much as 1 billion pounds? The second is a navy built with money from the Indian Empire. Is it the British Royal Navy or the Royal Indian Navy?
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Robinson asked Palmerston and Elliot: "Do you think those Indians who don't have enough to eat can really get 1 billion pounds?"
"Yes!" Viscount Palmerston said, "It must be possible!"
George Elliot said: "Mr. Prime Minister, in fact, as early as when Aurangzeb ruled the Hindustan Empire, the empire's financial revenue had reached as high as 300 million silver rupees... This is equivalent to more than 100 million silver dollars. and 30 million pounds, while the British government's revenue at that time was only one or two million pounds. Today, the British mainland's fiscal revenue has reached 140 million pounds, an increase of dozens of times. The tax revenue of the Indian Empire has not increased much, which is obviously a reason. It’s a problem. I think Indians can definitely afford the annual tax of 150 million pounds... and it’s less than 1 pound per Indian!”
Less than £1...the tax pressure doesn't seem to be heavy!
Viscount Palmerston said: "Prime Minister, as long as the Indian Empire can provide 100 million pounds a year, we can raise funds to build a 10 million-ton navy... and a large number of warship orders will also make the British Empire The island's factories are thriving, and the government's approval rating will rise significantly. The cabinet you lead will surely become a long-term government, just like the cabinet led by the Earl of Liverpool.
Taking a step back, even if the Indian Imperial Government is temporarily unable to raise that much money, that doesn't matter...as long as London bankers and local Indian tycoons believe in the Indian Imperial Government's fundraising capabilities. We, nay, the Imperial Government of India could raise enough pounds sterling and silver rupees by issuing naval bonds. "
What Viscount Palmer said seems to make sense!
Bonds, stocks, and even credit are all based on expectations to some extent... The Indian imperial government has no money now, but after all, it guards the world's second most populous country and the second most ancient civilization.
The Ming Dynasty, the most populous country and the first ancient civilization, is so rich!
If India had an emperor who usurped the throne in accordance with the law with the support of parliament, had the help of the British Empire, had excellent governance by European elite bureaucrats, and had a constitution comparable to the "Bill of Rights", would there be any reason why it could not develop?
Will it still be able to pay off a mere £120 million?
So the market will definitely welcome Indian bonds!
Although the construction of 10 million tons of warships is an extremely large systematic project, which is a bit unbearable for the scale of British industry, but the source of money has been solved, and the most difficult problem will no longer exist. As long as it has money, Britain can ask the whole of Europe to provide support for them.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Robinson said to Viscount Palmerston and George Elliot: "If the Indian Imperial Government needs to raise hundreds of millions of funds from the European financial market by issuing bonds to build a navy... ...Then what can be built can only be the Royal Navy of the Indian Empire, not the Royal Navy of the British Empire. Although the Royal Indian Navy will actually be controlled by the British Royal Navy, on the surface, it must be independent of the British Royal Navy In addition, we pledge allegiance to the Emperor of India and accept the armed forces under the jurisdiction of the Indian Navy!”
Not to mention, this Robinson has been the finance minister for a long time and is very familiar with the financial system... If the debt between Britain and India is not sorted out, the Indians will really have no money to pay back. , isn’t this bad debt coming to the British Empire?
"Prime Minister," Viscount Palmerston asked, "then how should we reply to Zhuge Weijiu and the Duke of Marseille?"
Robinson waved his hand: "Don't reply to anything... Let's go back to England first and re-formulate the naval development plan while waiting for Prince William to become the Emperor of India... Wait until Prince William becomes the Emperor and then let him Send representatives from India to attend the Versailles Conference. In addition, two copies of the naval plan must be made, one for the United Kingdom and one for the Indian Empire!"
It turns out that according to the plans of the British government and the Hanoverian Dynasty, India was about to be "liberated". When Prince William usurps the throne, the relationship between Britain and India will transform from a suzerainty and a colony to a co-monarchy alliance. Oh, it should be the Quasi-Communist Alliance. Because King George IV himself did not want to be the emperor of India, but asked his younger brother and crown prince to seize other people's thrones.
Therefore, during the period between Prince William's seizure of the Indian throne and his succession to the British throne, the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire had no legal relationship. And in the future, Prince William will first become the Emperor of India and then inherit the British throne... In other words, the Indian Emperor William will inherit the throne of the United Kingdom!
It sounds as if India colonized Britain!
...
Capital of the Hindustan Empire, Delhi.
This is a magical country!
There is clearly an emperor, a government, and recently a parliament, but the power of the country is controlled by a company...and this company is not hiding in the dark to control everything, but the Ming Dynasty generously governs the country from the stage. .
The most amazing thing is that this country is also a big country with a population of about 200 million (no one knows the actual number). It is also a big country that was described by Emperor Napoleon as a "sleeping elephant"...According to Emperor Napoleon's prediction, once India, the sleeping elephant, wakes up from its dream, it will quickly rise to become the same as the Ming Dynasty. A country as powerful as an empire will become a common nightmare for both the East and the West - who made Zhuge Youde and Zhuge Weiji not support the great Emperor Napoleon, but instead support the Bourbon dynasty and Tsar Alexander I? Deserve to be cursed by Nahuang!
And India, the sleeping elephant in South Asia that was blessed by the emperor, has now reached a point where it seems that it is about to wake up.
Arbuckle II, who had just finished the porn movie and was probably in high spirits, suddenly yawned again... feeling a little sleepy!
But he can't sleep yet. His prime minister Asaf Khan appealed to him that today is the day when India's sleeping elephant wakes up - the East India Company that stole the power of the Emperor of Hindustan will be united according to the union of the Indian states. The resolution of the meeting was to return the great power to the legitimate emperor of Hindustan, Abak II himself!
In other words, after a while, he, Abak Shah, will be the supreme ruler of the Hindustan Empire. And the Hindustan Empire will also gain complete independence from this moment... From now on, it will no longer be a slave of the British Empire, but an independent ancient oriental country like the Ming Empire. In a few years, India may be able to go one step further and become a powerful country in the world!
But as he got older (over 50), Abak Shah, who had long since taken back his power without any expectations, was no longer sleepy after hearing this.
Because he knew that he was in a dream... If he wasn't in a dream, how could the East India Company "return the power"? How can they still hand over the sales that they sit and collect taxes on every year? Why hand it over? It can't be! They have soldiers, power, guns, cannons, and a fleet. They have everything they need. How could they hand over power just because some state-state conference asked them to do so? As soon as I heard this, I knew it couldn't happen.
This kind of thing can only appear in dreams... Well, it must be because I've had too much sex, so I have such an exaggerated dream!
