On the wall of the box is hung a commemorative oil painting commemorating the most important and famous battle of the Colombian War of Independence, the Battle of Laconfende.In this battle, the Colombian Independence Army defeated the local garrison of the Duke of Victoria, and won the war with a loss ratio of one to ten, completely breaking the myth of Victoria's invincibility.

Although the army they talked about was just a colonial army composed of local aborigines, and its numbers and equipment were far behind that of the Colombian Independence Army, which was instigated by the Victorian regular army.But Colombians took the symbolism of the battle very seriously, calling it a "great victory."

The Brigadier General sat under the oil painting, while Director Henry sat opposite him, with doubts and expectations on his face.

Director Henry never dreamed that when Rhine Life suffered such a blow, the first to lend a helping hand was not the lending bankers and capitalists who had invested heavily in Rhine Life, but the Colombian military, which could not do anything.

But this is indeed a solid thigh. In Colombia, what could make people feel more secure than the military with guns in hand?

With the help of the military, Rhine Life can transform from an ordinary private enterprise into a military enterprise, and its status and grade have been improved by more than one grade.But the problem is...

All the seemingly selfless help has already marked the price secretly.He didn't know what the military's purpose was to extend a helping hand when the Rhine Life building was about to collapse.

So, what's the price?

"It seems that Mr. Henry is also very interested in my proposal."

With his hands crossed, the brigadier general said unhurriedly,

"However, I think you should find out why Rhine's life suffered such an accident."

Henry frowned. The brigadier's words really hit his point. What he is most concerned about now is why Rhine Life has encountered such a thing?

A group of shareholders, a group of capitalists, actually gave up the opportunity to make money, and 3, 2, 1 withdrew their capital together.What they have to pay is liquidated damages, and they will also lose money after Rhein-Life goes bankrupt. Why do they do this?

"You might be able to look at this."

As the brigadier general said, he took out a stack of manuscripts from the briefcase beside him.The writing style of the manuscript looked familiar, Director Henry glanced at it, and saw the surprising signature.

"Joseph Pulitzer? Pulitzer reporter?"

He flipped through the press release and said in surprise,

"Is this a press release from a Pulitzer reporter?"

The brigadier nodded without changing his face.

"The Pulitzer reporter gave this press release to the Washington Post editorial office to get it on the front page of Columbia tomorrow, but we have people in the editorial office, so we cut this press release. Come down. As for why the military wanted to take action... Well, how should I put it, there are some contents that are really not suitable for the news column, which can easily cause huge negative effects on the impartiality of the Federal Parliament and the image and reputation of Colombia Influence, although our military and the political circles have not dealt with it very much, we are still on the same front in this kind of national event. But of course, although it is not convenient to disclose it in the news media, I privately think that you, as the party involved in the incident, And Rhine Life, still have the right to know. So I made a special application to hand over this press release to you, Mr. Henry."

What he said was watertight, and it not only insinuated that the internal content was black material about the political world, but also closely related to the incident of persecuting Rhine's life.It also subtly elevated the military's actions in this matter, and created a good image in Henry's heart, helping the subsequent negotiations go more smoothly.

And the props used are just a forged [Pulitzer Press Release].

Joseph Pulitzer was a great man, people inside the military once said so.He left no other identifying marks other than his signature on his published press releases.This may be because he doesn't want to be exposed, but the military think tank has put forward another view. Maybe he is trying to encourage those other reporters?

Their thinking is correct. Wayne did not leave an obvious identification label on the vest of the Pulitzer reporter. He just wanted to encourage other reporters. If they don’t have the courage to stand up and expose the darkness on the earth, then they can Choosing to hide under the light of the Pulitzer vest, and pushing everything to the Pulitzer reporter, Wayne will let the Pulitzer vest bear those things.

But this also gave the military an opportunity. Forging a signature is not difficult for an Originium warlock. Even ordinary people who don't know Originium skills can learn to imitate handwriting after a period of training.

It is unavoidable for the military to expose the dirt in the political world. After all, the two parties have always been in opposition, and their revelations will not have much effect. The peace on the surface cannot be torn openly and split Colombia apart.

At this time, the Pulitzer reporter has become a qualified candidate. Let him expose the conspiracy and criticize the shadows. The military just needs to follow behind and reap the benefits.Anyway, the military has been monitoring the entry into Colombia. So far, no one who may be a Pulitzer reporter has entered Colombia. They are not in Colombia, and it is impossible to parachute into Colombia to slap them in the face. They just use it casually. This identity?

What's more, maybe the Pulitzer reporter will be very happy that he can inexplicably pick up a credit for "exposing corruption in Colombian political circles".Maybe he will come to Colombia to investigate at that time, and then the military will be able to figure out who this mysterious reporter is!

Crack down on the arrogance of the political circles, reap the loyalty of Rhine Life, find out the identity of the mysterious Pulitzer reporter, kill three birds with one stone, gain nothing but nothing, why not do it?

The brigadier general tapped the table with his fingertips, held the coffee cup with the other hand, and kept sipping the coffee slightly. He stared at Henry, who was getting more and more angry, and smiled involuntarily.

Good thing, good thing, big good thing.

Idiots in the political world have always mocked the military as a bunch of reckless men who only know how to roll up their sleeves, but they never thought that if the reckless men started to think, then you trash in the political world would have no need to survive.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind. The Rhine life you want to balance will be accepted by our military.

The Brigadier General was ready to formally throw an olive branch to Henry, but he did not expect that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind, and the oriole stretched its neck to peck the mantis, but did not know that the projectile was under it!

Wayne is ready.

It's time for Columbia to experience 80.00% of all Terra's financial transactions, from the operation of the Lancaster family for several eras—[Lentinium Core City] capital dimensionality reduction hit!

Chapter 44 President, General Medical Victoria

Columbia, Elizabeth Hotel, top floor.

When Kelsey walked into the room with a solemn expression, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, Wayne knew that something might have happened.

"As you can see, Your Highness,"

Because it is business, Kelsey also rarely used the honorific,

"The information provided by Chianti has been proven to be true. This morning, the stock price of Rhein-Vital has plummeted, and the capital chain has also been broken. A large amount of inhibitor inventory is backlogged in the warehouse and cannot be sold. The expanded production line cannot be started due to insufficient funds. , Rhine Life tried to improvise some goods and deliver them to Party B in order to obtain emergency payment, but the large medical institutions led by Columbia Morgan Hospital have unified their caliber and asked Rhine Life to solve internal problems before they can receive these inhibitors with confidence."

Wayne wanted to laugh when he heard it. To solve the current problem, Rhine Life needs money. What should we do if we need money? We need to complete the order and get the payment, so what about delivering the order?Internal problems must be solved first.

Obviously, this is an endless loop that can't be circumvented no matter how hard it is, and Wayne can imagine the look of Director Henry furious in the office.

Those hospitals, or those merchants who ordered the inhibitors, Wei En felt that they had no intention of saving Rhine's life at all.Although Loken Williams is not a good person, he is indeed a smart person. His analysis fits the real psychology of Colombian capitalists: they are not willing to see a new medical enterprise that breaks the market order and seizes the market at a low price appeared, but they were unwilling to give up the huge profits that the new inhibitors might bring, so at this time, naturally, a dead Rhine-life was better than a living Rhine-life.

As long as Rhine Life is dead, the patent rights will be gone.The inhibitors that are brought back to the country and their production methods will be controlled by the Federal Parliament, and the Federal Parliament will be controlled by them behind the scenes. At that time, they will not set the price as they want, but they will set the price-in a beautiful name, it conforms to the laws of the market just fine.

Reasonable, compliant, and most importantly legal, in line with Colombian-style flexible democratic moral standards, which makes Wayne admire-it has to be said that it is an ability to package robbery, robbery and conspiracy in such a way .

However, in the end, the subtle conspiracy cannot be put on the table. As long as people know the cause and effect, even if it only touches a small part of it, it will have a domino effect and irreversible change in its development.Wayne knew this well, so he was ready.

Let the storm come harder.

............

Victoria, Londinium, the core city of Londinium.

The changes in the core city are always changing with each passing day. A hotel that may still stand here today may become a new enterprise established by a certain capitalist or nobleman tomorrow.But there is only one thing that will never change in the core city - the Londinium Financial Exchange.

One block away from the Elizabeth Hotel, located in the southern part of the core city, close to the Iron Palace of Aslan, where the Londinium Financial Exchange stands, including all currency transactions in circulation across the continent, stock futures, large funds, and Terra every day Nearly 80.00% of the financial trade volume passes through here, and then flows into the countries of the land.

As the absolute embodiment of Victoria's economic hegemony, it has an unshakable position in the entire land of Terra.Although there are newly emerging financial trading centers in Dayan Longmen in the east and New London in Columbia in the west, trying to challenge its status and share the same position with him, it can be clearly said that as long as there are no two world wars, the sun of the Victorian Empire It will never be possible to fall!

Sitting in the core city of Londinium, in the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the Elizabeth Hotel, Teresia and Wei Na only need to look down a little, and they can see the slightly low-level building among the tall buildings one block away. architecture.

"According to what you said, Wei Na, the exchange should be the most conspicuous building in the city, isn't it? Why is it built so short?"

Teresa asked in confusion.Wei Na waved her hand. She knew that Teresia might ask this question. She reviewed it last night. At this moment, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she explained swearingly as if I understood:

"In order to prevent the gamblers who have lost all their money from jumping off the roof one by one to reopen."

Teresa was surprised:

"Isn't it easier to get up if you're short?"

Wei Na took a sip of lemon juice (Teresia and Wei En did not allow her to drink alcohol), and said with a mysterious smile:

"If you are short, you can't fall to your death,"

The eloquent Teresia was choked for a moment, feeling like she couldn't get out of her mouth, and hesitated for a long time before she reluctantly said:

"really."

Wei Na waved her hand with a smile and explained:

"Okay, okay, the above are all internal secrets, and we always declare to the outside world that [status is not determined by height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, and the importance of a building is never determined by its size]. If someone complains to you about this , just tell him that."

Teresia scratched her head, and nodded with twitching corners of her mouth:

"understood."

Although she didn't think anyone would come to complain to her about this kind of thing as a Sarkaz.Even if it took such a long time for a month, she has only just let the members of the Iron Palace recognize her as the Princess of Sarkaz, let alone the wider Victorian land, and there is a long way to go what.

"Let's not talk about this." Wei Na suddenly hissed and said, "Our guest is here."

Yes, as the Queen of Victoria, although Wei Na has always maintained a worldly attitude, she often even visits privately (with a large number of unicorns and security guards behind her) to understand the people's sentiments in places like civilian areas (to find Indra, Dalk and Gawain's little friends), in the eyes of the Victorians, they have a strong sense of presence (everyone knows that their new queen, Vina, is a beautiful girl, and the queen of the private secret association "Jianwei (single pusher)" has formation).But this does not mean that Wei Na can aimlessly and leave the palace as she pleases.

She is the queen, and it is enough to go out once a week in a micro-service, otherwise it will inevitably cause additional burdens on urban traffic, security and other aspects.And this week, she had already used up her "walking pass". She came to the core city to do business.

Oh?You ask Theresa?

She did come to play.

The door of the hotel was pushed open, after a strict body search and scan by the guards at the gate, after confirming that he was not carrying any dangerous items, a man in a formal suit, top hat, mustache and monocle was almost exactly the same as the British gentleman in the movie walked in.

"Hello, Sir Sandro."

Wei Na put on her formulaic empress smile, and Sandro immediately bent down respectfully and bowed at ninety degrees to pay tribute:

"Hello, Your Majesty, I wish you a long and healthy life."

Sandro Lim George, President, General Medical Victoria.A former follower of the Lancaster family, a frequent visitor to the Londinium Financial Exchange, and a big capitalist.

Chapter 45 The beginnings of nationalization

Wei Na was very puzzled, why Wei En was so harsh on Londinium Financial City, which pays taxes to the country, not only established a large number of rules that she could not understand, but also for those capitalists who wanted to seek status. Reviewed it from start to finish.

She even wondered what kind of effect the eight-hour work system, trade unions and other weird systems implemented by Wayne had, and why in Wayne's mouth, these were "must do" things.Does he have any prejudice against these people?

Facing Wei Na, the future ruler of the Victorian Empire, Her Majesty the Queen who will be independent sooner or later, Wei En patiently explained that he is not against making money, nor does he have any prejudice against these people, he is not against capital, standing With his identity and position, he is indeed unable to revolutionize capital. After all, the revolution in his mind is bottom-up and started from the people, and he is destined not to initiate it.What he has to do is to oppose the excessive expansion of capital.

Although he can't do the best, he can do it at the next level, allowing the state to control capital instead of letting capital manipulate the country.Let capital serve the interests of the country, instead of letting the country make way for the interests of capital.This is how he suppressed the capitalists in the financial city of Londinium who wanted to seek aristocratic status.

Just imagine, a group of wealthy capitalists became nobles. They know how to make money, understand the strategies of the market, and hold a lot of power in their hands. It’s not that Wayne looks down on many nobles in Victoria. Let’s ask, apart from holding For the group of military power, what competitiveness do other nobles have?

When the traditional aristocracy is completely squeezed out of the power center, and the new bourgeois aristocracy has taken power, what is the next step?What else stands in their way?

That is of course the emperor.

At that time, what Wei Na will usher in is a glorious revolution, or a French revolution, either keep the head but not the power, or keep the power but not the head.

This is not to say that Wien is against the progress of the times, against the replacement of feudalism by capitalism.But to be honest, he is the most progressive person in this era, and compared to a large group of cunning and cunning capitalists, it is obvious that those old aristocrats who spend all day in drinking parties are much easier to control.This can be regarded as the few remaining advantages of autocratic monarchy-as long as the monarch's thinking is enlightened enough and his governance is wise enough, the people can live a prosperous life.

Wayne felt that he could never be called a wise monarch, but to put it bluntly, he was still more than a little better than Terra's group of conspirators who mistreated others.What's more, he is not alone, there is Teresia, Kelsey, and Wei Na who is gradually accepting and actively learning his thoughts.

When discussing the capital injection with Wei Na a few days ago, Wei En proposed this plan. The royal family must not stand on the stage to carry out the capital injection and acquisition of Rhine Life. They need an agent, and about this agent Wayne and Wei Na discussed the candidates for a long time, and finally chose Victoria General Medical Company.

There are many reasons, but three are the biggest.

First, the president of General Medical, Sandro Lin George, was once a follower of the Lancaster family.The Lancaster family has many followers. As the founder and controller of the Financial City, almost most of the capital of the Financial City is inextricably linked to them.When the King of the North came to power, he indeed copied the Lancaster family from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, but for his followers, even with the courage of the King of the North, they could only The most ferocious one who can kill so many jumps.

After all, if it is completely killed, the core city of Londinium will probably be [-]% to [-]% empty. It is not a wise move to lose the entire financial hegemony of Victoria for the sake of some small pawns.Sandro is one of these "little pawns" who were let go.

Wei Na here has sufficient evidence that he had colluded with the Lancaster family, and these are all handles, so that the royal family can tie the dog tightly.

The second reason is that his business scope is relatively close to Rhine Life.Although medical and biological sciences are strictly different things, most of the time, the two are closely integrated.It is more reasonable to let them carry out this task than to let the "doll" company on the list buy Rhine Life.

It would be too embarrassing for the doll company to acquire it. Those who didn't know it thought Victoria was going to develop a new type of bionic "doll".The group of Rhine Life is still very face-saving now, and they may not agree.

As for the third reason.

Combining the first two items together, Victoria General Medical is currently the most suitable enterprise to be "nationalized".

Based on Wien's theory of capital manipulation by the state, most of the current privately owned enterprises are not reliable enough. Some of them may have a bit of conscience and will donate money and materials when the country needs it, but the country cannot rely on the economic lifeline In the hands of individual conscience.Therefore, the three "can't" principles are formally put forward: arms cannot be privately owned, resources cannot be privately owned, and infrastructure cannot be privately owned.

As for the road of nationalizing enterprises, Wayne is not clear about how to nationalize enterprises and how to operate them after nationalization. He can only cross the river by feeling the stones, which requires a pilot project.At such a time when the right time, place and people exist, Victoria General Medical will naturally shoulder this sacred mission.

GE Healthcare will be nationalized and Sandro will run the business as a strangled dog by Vina and begin the acquisition of Rhein-Life at this critical time, the acquired Rhein-Life and all future nationalizations Enterprises will move to Wien as the fiefdom of the Prince of Wales, and the newly built large mobile city - New Wales County will set up a special area and start pilot operations of the nationalized economy.And in the future, it will radiate the entire Victorian Empire with Wales as the center.

Great people have walked this road, and Wayne is just following the gourd.He may not know the specific operation process, but Victoria has a lot of talents, and there is always someone who understands. He only needs to give guidelines, check whether the path is going wrong, and finally accept the results.

It doesn't matter if you fail once or twice, Victoria is now a veritable hegemony, able to bear the cost of failure, at worst, start all over again, and always succeed.

And Sandro after listening to Wei Na's request.

He really did nothing bad during his time with the Duke of Lancaster, but sometimes, being on the wrong side is the biggest mistake.What could he do now?

It's nothing more than the sudden addition of a royal family to the head of the supreme president, which is better than losing his head.

With some complicated emotions, Sandro bowed and said:

"Yes, your majesty!"

Let's make up for the space in front.

It's a bit uncomfortable to look empty.Originally, I wanted to write some Kelsey candy in the Columbia volume, but I encountered backstabs in the forbidden room twice in a row, and I was numb.

Please fill in the post, please.

The second illustration is almost ready, but Shuke can't post the picture now, so I can't post it. Let's wait until the ban is lifted.

Let me tell you a joke, yesterday, July [-]st, I went to visit the martyrs cemetery and the museum, and wanted to ask for a leave of absence, but until today I went home and checked, and the leave slip hadn’t been reviewed and issued.

The progress of the Colombian volume is also 70.00%. To be honest, after the ban, it has been subscribed very hard, and I am very tired. I understand why Shu Ke has so many pigeons.Seeing that the number of follow-up subscriptions is decreasing day by day, I feel really uncomfortable.It is really sad to write a book without getting feedback.Keep writing, the next volume is the Longmen volume, and the patriots will be the introduction, and the foreshadowing has already been laid.

Finally, good night everyone
