"Our comrades in Prussia, they wanted to break a silver dollar in half. They used all their strength to raise a large amount of arms for us. The rifled Mauser barrel, the high-hard striker, the latest telegraph parts, boiler instruments, and safety explosives for engineers..."

"We cannot produce these arms for the time being. Do you think the British will let these arms be transported to Ryukyu safely? Stop dreaming, wake up!"

The conference room suddenly became silent, and everyone stopped talking, only heavy breathing and angry eyes intertwined.

"So, we must close the Internet in advance. We now need Jiangnan's wealth. We must stabilize the credit of Jiangnan's banknotes, and then draw out real money and silver to purchase arms!"

"The British can blockade the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, but they cannot block the Pacific Ocean! Now the Carnegie family has promised to match us and increase the export volume of arms...but that price!"

Xiao Letian shook his head, "You must bow your head under the short eaves! Who made us weak? Who made us unable to produce many things? This money has to be made by Americans..."

Bang... With a loud bang, Cai Mao's fist hit the table, but it cannot solve any problem even if it is smashed. The gap in national strength cannot be compensated by emotions. You can't do it, you can't do it.

Xiao Letian's prediction was still very accurate. Although the intelligence blockade in Ryukyu was strictly carried out, for those old foxes who had been through the battlefield, no clue could escape their eyes.

The Ryukyu intelligence was blocked, and people did not know the situation on the main battlefield, but the British intelligence officers would count the time! Thirty thousand troops robbed a vault, 48 hours should be enough, but now three days have passed, why is there no trace of the Russian fleet?

Shouldn’t Molière contact French intelligence agencies regularly? Why is there no voice yet?

Looking back at the countless Chinese gathering areas in Nanyang, and looking at the fact that people in Jiangnan have been continuously buying banknotes on dips. If all this cannot explain the problem, it can only be said that British people are idiots.

Under the coordination of Beijing British Counselor Witoma, the entire British East Asian forces made pessimistic judgments, and the British governors began to change their strategies.

In the busy Strait of Malacca, the resting British fleet launched a full attack to block the entire strait, and any suspicious ships forced to board the ship and search one by one.

In just one day, two merchant ships with the Dutch flag and a merchant ship with the Portuguese flag were seized. Open the cargo hold and pry open the wooden box, revealing it inside?

4000

?The buttered Mauser barrels are clear and bright.

The fire needles, explosives, bullets and shells, tight instruments and optical lenses... The precious military products on the European market were actually searched in Asia.

The three cargo ships were able to assemble more than 30,000 Mausers and equip the explosives of two engineer regiments.

"Haha, God really should punish you, Dutch? Portuguese? Are you willing to sell your soul to the devil for money? Who are you going to buy for? Is it Xiao Letian of the Chinese clan?" asked the naval captain roaringly.

"Oh, my God! We are just businessmen, we don't understand politics, please don't make things difficult for us... This is a normal business behavior, and is there a law that prohibits us from doing business?"

"Quote! Damn businessman, profit-oriented villain, you are the enemy of capital! Why should you sell the latest weapons to Chinese people!"

"This is a free world, this is a free business rule. You British people have not started a war with the Chinese. Why do you prohibit us from doing business?"

"Okay... stubborn, you're really hard! Come on, drag the boat into the military port, don't ask me what the charge is, let me think slowly, maybe I will give you a reasonable explanation in half a year!"

Regardless of the protests of the merchants, the British Navy forcibly took over the cargo ship, and the captain and sailors were discarded in the Lion City, and all the ships and goods were detained.

The same scene was not only performed in the Strait of Malacca, but also the Strait of Gibraltar under the control of British artillery, including the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, and Andaman Sea. All the Royal Navy dispatched all their troops to search for any merchant ships that provided arms to Xiao Lotte.

The arms trade between Prussia and the Chinese people was immediately broken. Not only did London even more annoyed that half of the arms payments provided by Xiao Lotte to Prussia were settled in gold.

Britain was the most powerful gold standard in the world at that time. The credit of the British pound was maintained by a strong navy and huge gold reserves. In the eyes of the British, the global gold should be controlled in their own hands. It doesn't matter if a small amount of gold transactions cannot affect the financial security of the British Empire.

But the gold trade between China and Prussia is absolutely not possible. God knows how much gold is hidden in this ancient country for thousands of years? Who knows how much practical benefits Prussia will give Xiao Letian?

Look at the existence of Zhiyuan, which has already slapped countless European strategic analysts in the face loudly!

Prime Minister Benjamin just came to power and he was very sensitive to the alliance between Prussia and the Chinese. He believed that Xiao Lotte's growth now was the result of his former Prime Minister Derby's confusion.

Under Benjamin's secret instruction, the maritime interest chain between Prussia and the Chinese people was forcibly cut off. Not only the arms trade was banned, but also the ordinary transactions of civilian goods such as tea, silk, porcelain, medicine, etc. were harassed.

"Prussia wants to borrow the Chinese gold to fight for Europe? This is absolutely not allowed!"

In the era without a global information network, cross-border trade between banks cannot be delivered in another place. There is no problem with the small amount of money. Once large-scale trade is encountered, humans have to settle the settlement using the most traditional delivery method.

Prussian arms were sent to Asia by ship, and Chinese gold, silver and cargo had to be delivered to Hamburg by ship. Every transaction was inseparable from the sea route, and the golden routes in this world were all controlled by the British.

In Xiao Letian's past life, the United States was playing with financial hegemony. As long as the status of the US dollar's global settlement currency is not challenged, the United States will always be strong.

In this world, Britain is playing the hegemony of logistics networks. The entire sea of ​​logistics networks compiled by the Golden Channel are all under the control of his cannons. Do you want to conduct cross-border trade? First ask me if the Royal Navy agrees.
