Chapter 498 The ultimate big winner (first update, please subscribe)
What does Britain need?

Airships and armored vehicles of course!

If anyone is said to have had the greatest impact from this war, it must be Britain. In the past, England was confident and proud. They believed that the existence of the Royal Navy could prevent anyone from threatening the British Isles. However, the appearance of airships changed everything.

Whether it is in Sedan or the destroyed Palace of Versailles, they are reminding the British reality that the safety of the British Isles no longer exists!
Any country, as long as they have airships, may bomb the British mainland!

And what about the UK?

There is no way to fight back at all!
This is absolutely unacceptable, and it is precisely because of this that they made a condition that no one can refuse!

Buffett, who had been invited to No 10 as a guest, quickly understood what Gladstone had come for in inviting him.

"Airship! Armored vehicles, we need all of these!"

In front of Buffett, Gladstone said bluntly.

"Britain needs 30 airships and 30 armored vehicles. If you are willing to transfer the corresponding airships and armored vehicles from the troops stationed in France, we will not only approve the sale of the Northwest Territories to your company by the Hudson's Bay Company, but also , we will also sell the land of British Columbia to you, and we hope that you can use 30 airships and 30 armored vehicles to cover the transaction amount!"

Buffett was completely stunned. He looked at the other party in astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.This is simply...a bit unbelievable!

In fact, the purchase of land in the Northwest Territories is completely to take advantage of the loopholes of British law, yes, it is just to take advantage of the loopholes.

Because from a legal point of view, the Northwest Territories, that is, the Northwest Company that owned this land at that time, is a private company. The realities of "private land", which differed neither from the official colonies nor from the Royal Charter at Hudson's Bay, were privately owned.

Translated into the simplest sentence - that land does not belong to the United Kingdom.

Of course, the law is the law, and the reality is the reality, just like the British government was able to force the Northwest Company to hand over the land to the Hudson's Bay Company. Private property is sacred and inviolable, which is simply nonsense.That is to say, it sounds good when it comes out, or it just looks better when you eat it.

Although the Hudson's Bay Company has signed the land sale agreement, the British government has always opposed it, and the two companies have not yet handed over.If the British government persists in its opposition, this matter will definitely come to naught in the end, and there will be no room for recovery.

Buffy, who originally thought that this matter might fail, never expected that this matter not only did not fail, but there was even an additional reward - the colony of British Columbia!
With this colony, the entire west coast of North America... No, it should be said that there is a west coast area north of the United States, which will all belong to Nanhua.

Although he was very excited, Buffett still said quietly.

"This, I need to go to France to discuss with His Majesty. After all, airships and armored vehicles belong to the military."

"Of course!"

Gladstone said with a smile.

"I believe you will make wise choices!"

Need to make a choice?
After hearing the news from Buffett, Zhu Xianhai agreed almost immediately!

"Promise them, why not promise them, you go back to London immediately and sign a treaty with the British, lest you have long nights and dreams!"

"However, Your Majesty, we must consider the risks involved. The British will certainly not sell that colony to us for no reason. As we all know, the Americans have always had ambitions for the British colonies in the north. If the British The sale of British Columbia to us is very likely to trigger a conflict between us and the United States."

Although Buffett was also excited when he first heard the news, after leaving Downing Street, he was keenly aware of the risks-the British were trying to bring trouble to the south, and they wanted to use a colony to cause conflicts between South China and the United States. conflict between.

"Ha ha……"

Buffett's reminder made Zhu Xianhai laugh out loud.

"Hey, Buffett, my friend, the British have no good intentions, but the problem is, the British did cut a piece of meat from them for us!"

Throughout the ages, the world is so big, who has eaten meat on the body of Britain?
There seems to be no other country except Midi, and now Britain is so active in selling British Columbia to Nanhua... This is simply a great thing that can be celebrated with drums and gongs.

"British Columbia is different from Alaska and the Northwest Territories. The climate is suitable there, and there is a large area of ​​arable land available for reclamation. After acquiring that land, we can not only develop agriculture locally, but also introduce a large number of immigrants. As long as There are enough immigrants, so what if there is a conflict with the United States? The United States..."

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Zhu Xianhai said proudly.

"It's just America, no big deal!"

Let alone a divided America, what's the big deal about an undivided America?He is no match for Nan Hua at all!

Even now Zhu Xianhai doesn't take the United States seriously at all.Without him, the strength is strong!
"Conflict! Maybe conflict can be taken advantage of. So far, there are so many countries that have conflicted with us. Who has taken advantage of us!"

Patting Buffett on the shoulder, Zhu Xianhai smiled.

"Go, sign the treaty with the British. As for the airships and armored vehicles they need, it's not a problem. Well, of course, bargaining is still needed!"

Originally, I came to Europe this time not only to aid France, but also to show the power of the airship to the Europeans. With the reputation of Sedan's rescue and the burning of Versailles, European countries have become obsessed with airships. They are naturally willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of military weapon.

"Are you really going to sell them the airship we use?"

Buffett was surprised.

"Of course it's going to be sold, but it's just an airship."

As for the electric Gatling machine gun, it will definitely not be sold. If you want that kind of [-] Gatling machine gun, you must pay extra money.

The reason why they are willing to open up the supply and sell airships to European countries, to put it bluntly, is to start an arms race of airships in Europe,

Who is the final winner of this arms race?

Certainly not the British, nor the French, only Nan Hua, Nan Hua is the final winner...
