Chapter 309 The United Kingdom is the Final Winner (Second update, please subscribe)
Even if the war has not yet broken out, the diplomatic war has already broken out. This war is without gunpowder, but what is certain is that sometimes a war without gunpowder often determines the outcome of the war.

"Have something to drink, my friend."

No sooner had Sarmiento entered Edward Thornton's office than he received the invitation.

"Thank you, Edward, tea... no, coffee?"

Sarmiento directly refused.

"Tea, many people don't like Chinese people, but they like tea, but I also like coffee. Let's have a cup together."

In diplomatic occasions, there is never a word of nonsense. For them, every word has a meaning, just like what Edward said now, it is undoubtedly telling Sarmiento that he does not like China people!

Sarmiento glanced at Edward, then said.

"Mr. Ambassador, I think you should know why I'm here!"

They are very straightforward, and there is no time to beat around the bush at this time.

"Yes."

Edward did not deny that for the British ambassador, there was no secret at all. Of course he knew the ultimatum from Nanhua, or the terms of compensation.

"Argentina needs the help of Britain. Only with the help of Britain can we fight against the Chinese invasion!"

Sarmiento glanced out the window and said.

"If we fail, one thing is certain is that British interests in the area will be hit hard. In the province of Buenos Aires, one-third of the landowners are British expats. Once the company occupies Here, what is certain is that they will definitely implement new policies, although we don't know how they will do it, but what is certain is that for the UK, the interests of the United Kingdom will be severely damaged!"

"Do you want to add milk?"

Edward Thornton did not give a direct answer, but changed the subject.

"Want to add sugar?"

"no, thank you."

Sarmiento said.

"Edward, we can be more direct. What is Britain's attitude?"

"British attitude..."

Edward Thornton brought over the coffee mug, and he glanced at the president.

So what if he is the president?

Argentina is inseparable from the United Kingdom!
"The attitude of the UK is very clear. We firmly oppose the company's expansion on this land. In fact..."

After a pause, Edward Thornton said,
"Just now I looked at their terms of compensation. It is not compensation, but an ultimatum to Argentina. The only question is, can Argentina accept such humiliation? Of course, Britain will definitely stand by your side. In the past, It is now, and it will be in the future!"

The British ambassador's answer made Sarmiento nod in satisfaction and said.

"Trust me, Britain will not regret your choice!"

Britain will certainly not regret it!
After Sarmiento left the office, Edward Thornton said to himself, and then he said to his secretary.

"Ned, go and inform Thomas and the others that the Argentine government will soon sell a bond worth 100 million pounds. This is an opportunity for them..."

The Thomas in his mouth is a group of British bankers who opened a bank in Buenos Aires. They attract deposits from Argentines and then lend to the Argentine government.

In other words, they used Argentines' money to lend to the Argentine government, and then reaped staggering profits from it.

What is the so-called British capital?

It's just British banks. The reason why those British banks are trusted by Argentina is because behind them is Britain, the United Kingdom.

That's why Argentines can safely deposit their money in those British banks, and then the British banks will lend the money to the Argentine government.This money became the so-called British capital.

In many countries and regions, the British have been playing such financial games there.It is this financial game that they use to master and control many small countries.

"One million? It's only a few million pesos."

Ned glanced at the map on the wall, then said:
"If they want to conquer the Pampas, surely £100 million is not enough?"

"Of course, we are all well aware that £100 million is definitely not enough, but believe me, my friend, this is just the beginning, and for the UK, as long as they carry on this war, we are the last Winners, you know, in their war with the Paraguayans, they killed people, spent money, and ended up owing us £600m, which is what matters."

Edward Thornton lit a cigar with some pride, and then said triumphantly.

"In any war, the ultimate winner is not necessarily the direct participant in the war, but definitely the provider of the loan. Who was the ultimate winner in the Napoleonic Wars? Never Britain, but the Bank of England, Ned, do you know?"

Edward Thornton looked at Ned and said.

"Through this war, Britain can not only get everything it needs, but also get rich economic rewards."

"But, sir, how can Argentina guarantee the payment of their debts?"

Ned asked back.

"Ned, do you know what the Pampas is now? It's no longer a desolate prairie, but a pasture, the largest pasture in the world. Nanhua relies on that pasture to export to Europe every year. Hundreds of millions of pesos worth of beef, if Argentina captures the savannah, they will surely be able to pay that money back, of course, they may fail!"

After throwing out this sentence forcefully, Edward Thornton laughed.

"It's nothing, the losers are not eligible to negotiate, they still need to repay the loan, and even they need to borrow more money to maintain the economy, which means we can further turn this country into our appendage, In fact, this is our responsibility as diplomats! Failure, or victory..."

After taking a puff of his cigar and sitting behind his desk, Edward Thornton said in an extremely calm tone.

"For us, there is not much impact!"

"Then what is our purpose? Isn't it to make Nan Hua fail?"

"No!"

To Ned's question, Edward Thornton said:
"It's not to make Nanhua fail, but to prevent Nanhua from rising here. What do we need? A South America under our control. This South America should be controlled by us in every way like Argentina and Brazil. Control and influence, not a rising country that will even compete with us in every way, which is what we want to destroy!"

Edward Thornton made a "sorry" look.

"Although they work hard, they ignore one point - the rules of the game in this world have already been doomed. When they try to challenge, they will face a series of blows. This is just the beginning!"

Edward Thornton knew that the current support for Argentina was just the beginning. In the future, London would make some targeted adjustments. In the end, Nanhua would find them trapped in a maze. Unless they admit defeat, they will wait for them It will be a more serious failure!

"I understand, this is our responsibility as diplomats!"

Ned thought for a moment and then said.

"It is to prevent any country that tries to break the rules of the game from appearing!"

"Yes"

With a cold smile, Edward Thornton said.

"This is our responsibility as diplomats!"

When he said this, his eyes were piercing, and he just stared into the distance, and then said in an extremely calm tone.

"Even if the price is to instigate a war, even if it is to destroy a country, so what? We are the final victors!"
