In order to fail to achieve the goal, Lloyd George could only sigh: the world is changing too fast and the French government is not easy to fool.

Unlike the pro-British Bonaparte dynasty, the Bourbon Restoration and the British government had no relationship with each other. In order to avoid suspicion, the Carlos government deliberately kept a distance from the British.

The facts are right in front of you. No matter how much benefit Lloyd George promises, it cannot cover up the super high risk of participating in the anti-Shinra War.

France's vitality is now severely damaged, and the family's accumulated over hundreds of years of colonial empire has been consumed, and there is no capital to fight against Shenluo.

The country cannot withstand the torture, and the king cannot withstand the torture. Although the Bourbon dynasty was orthodox, it was intervened by strong dragons several times, and its ruling foundation was far less stable than what the outside world saw.

If it weren't for the random troubles of the previous government and the scourge of the Russians, the Paris people were afraid of "revolution".

Otherwise, with France's current economic situation, the Carlos government would have been driven out of power long ago.

It has to be admitted that social beatings are easier to make people mature. After a series of failures, France's second-year junior high school boy almost disappeared.

Without these main forces of cannon fodder, the revolutionary party has been silent. There is no way. Now is the time when the people are most disgusted with the revolution and they do not have the basis for rebellion.

No one is a fool, and the anti-French alliance troops are still stationed in France. At this time, rebellion is not only caused by the Carlos government, but also by the "anti-French alliance".

Smart people can see that it is meaningless to rebel now except to lose your life.

As for idiots who can't understand the current situation, they have long died, and even if they escaped by chance, they will not be able to become a climate.

The most important thing is that after Carlos came to power, although the domestic economy did not look too strong, the population of France had decreased significantly.

As the population decreases, the resources allocated to the people will naturally increase, and everyone's life will continue.

After experiencing war, I realized the value of peace. The French people who were afraid of being tortured and feared now want to spend a few days on their birthday. Even if life is hard, it is better than displaced.

Against the background of social stability, the domestic situation in France has quickly stabilized.

Lloyd George was very disappointed without fooling the French, but now he has no time to be sad. This trip to Europe is not just for France.

Except for the Holy Roman Empire, which is 100% sure, all European countries are the targets of the British government.

Although it is unrealistic to pull people over due to geopolitics, it is not realistic to play "in Cao's camp, in the heart of Han".

It is a huge victory for Britain to not ask countries to stand on their own side, as long as we keep everyone neutral in the battle for hegemony or passively slacking off.

There is not no hope for this to be achieved. European countries are now dependent on the Holy Roman Empire, which does not mean that everyone is really willing.

No one likes to have a "mother-in-law" on his head. If possible, everyone is more willing to return to the era of cohesion of strength.

If the Holy Roman Empire really seized world hegemony, it would be a true "one-on-one" and countries could only crawl under this behemoth and shivered.

There have been news that the British and German navy jointly defrauded military expenditures in the original time and space. Now, there is another rumor that the British and Austrian navy jointly defrauded military expenditures, which is not a big deal.

Under normal circumstances, everyone will not believe it, but there are abnormal situations, right?

Although the British government is rich and powerful, this does not mean that their funds are unlimited. If they spend too much on military spending, they will inevitably compress expenses in other areas.

Behind every member of parliament is supported by interest groups. The increase in the Navy's military budget will benefit from it, and some will suffer losses.

Interests are brainless, and opposing for the sake of opposition is completely normal.

What's more, Shinra's shipbuilding plan was also covered up, and everyone had every reason to suspect that the enemy deliberately created it to lure them into a fool.

You should know that the increase in the Navy's military budget is never a one-time investment. After the warships are put into service, maintenance costs will be increased every year.

Similarly, the British government has been on the scene more than once. Anyway, the Royal Navy dared not enter the Mediterranean, and the Vienna government is not afraid of any loss of play.

Just look at the comparison of the total tonnage of warships. For a long time, the gross tonnage ratio of the naval navals between the two countries has remained at 10:7, and now it has become 10:6.5.

It seems that the proportion has not changed much, but in fact it is all about money. In particular, the Royal Navy has sealed a large number of legal warships, otherwise the total tonnage gap between the two sides will be even more disparate.

Originally, it was a good thing to lead the total tonnage, which meant that the hegemony of the Royal Navy was unbreakable. Unfortunately, with the advent of the "Super Battleship Age", all this changed.

After seeing the combat effectiveness of the super battleship, the Royal Navy suddenly realized that "the warship is outdated."

Overnight, the naval revolutionary technology broke out, and in front of the super battleship, all kinds of traditional battleships turned into children's toys.

With the reshuffle of the navy, the overwhelming advantage of the Royal Navy over the Shenluo Navy gradually disappeared.

Seeing that the Navy Minister was so swearing by the MPs, Prime Minister Campbell couldn't sit still. According to the current situation, he probably had the enemy come to the door and they didn't make a decision.

"quiet!"

"Please abide by the order of the meeting and prohibit personal attacks."

The Speaker's voice sounded, and the venue temporarily restored order. It can be seen that everyone still valued their own identities and finally did not evolve into a "shy scolding" street.

But this is all temporary. Basically, every meeting requires a few reminders from the Speaker.

This is still the House of Lords. The members of the House of Lords are all nobles and most of them can restrain their emotions. The House of Commons will be even more lively.

Quarrels can only be considered a pediatric science, and all martial arts are happening from time to time.

There has always been a saying among the British people: "To become a qualified MP, you must not only be able to speak and be eloquent, but also have a good body."

Seeing that the scene became quiet, Prime Minister Campbell: "Everyone, the situation is already very critical.

The Holy Roman Empire Parliament approved the increase in the naval military budget last month, and now all major shipyards in Shinra have started construction.

According to the information we have collected, there are as many as 13 super battleships currently under construction.

I believe everyone knows what this means. Ordinary warships have no survival power in front of super battleships.

If we do not follow up immediately, once the enemy's warships are put into service, the Royal Navy's advantage will be gone.

With Shinra's ambition, I will definitely not miss this opportunity and challenge us.

Although I am full of confidence in the Royal Navy, even if the performance of warships is lagging behind, our officers and soldiers can defeat the strong with their professional qualities.

However, this requires a very painful price and will give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.

As an island country, we must always ensure the advantage of maritime rights and not slow down for a moment.”

When Campbell mentioned the "Shenlu Empire Parliament", he secretly envied. The same parliament, the difference between the two was too big.

The Shinra Empire Parliament will only take a few hours at the fastest, and the slowest will not exceed half a month.

Such efficiency is absolutely impossible for the British Parliament to achieve.

If it were not for Parliament's approval, Campbell wanted to imitate the Holy Roman Empire to add efficiency clauses to the Parliamentary Law, mandating that the Parliament must make decisions within a certain period of time.

Just think about it. There are only so many members of the Parliament of the Shinra Empire and how many people there are in the British Parliament. There is no comparison between the two at all.

If there are many people, the power is great, but if there are many people, they will force themselves to "subvert wisdom". I am not sure about anything else, but when there are quarrels, the more people the scene, the more touching the scene.

Compared with the Holy Roman Empire Parliament, which had only a few dozen people, the prosperous British Parliament was obviously more difficult to manage.

As soon as Campbell finished speaking, an opposition MP jumped out and questioned:

"Prime Minister, we all know that the empire is facing challenges, but this does not mean that the taxpayer's money can be squandered at will.

The military budget of 70 million pounds is only one year. Do you think pounds are just straw paper? We can print as much as we want?

Since the enemy has increased its military budget of 5,000 pounds, it is enough to follow up. Is it still afraid that the Royal Navy will not succeed under the same conditions?"

Times are changing, everyone's mental expectations are also changing, and the Royal Navy's development plan is also constantly lowering its standards.

First, it changed from the initial three-strong strategy to the two-strong standard, and then it was reduced to 5:3 against the second, and then 10:7, 4:3.

After gritting teeth and supporting it, many people's expectations have been lowered again. It has been somewhat somewhat the attitude of the British government towards the Americans after the war.

At the beginning, he was tough and prepared to suppress the Americans with the Royal Navy. After trying it out, he found that his wallet was not strong enough and was forced to give in.

Although it has not reached that point now, the Royal Navy's continuous expansion of military expenditure every year still makes the British government unable to bear it.

If you only persist for a few years, then the foundation accumulated by Britain is naturally not a problem.

However, the Holy Roman Empire has come to an end and cannot continue for a while. No one knows when this sudden naval arms race will end.

Referring to the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France, many British people have made plans to fight a protracted war and are ready to slowly waste with the advantages of the straits and wait for the situation in Europe to change.

If it were put a hundred years ago, such a plan would naturally be fine. Unfortunately, the times are different now. If it is consumed for a long time, Britain will suffer even more.

Frowning, Campbell explained helplessly: "You only see the military budget, but ignore the actual situation.

Although we have the most advanced shipbuilding industry in the world, the cost of building warships is still 10% to 15% higher than that of the Austrians.

Warship construction is a complex project, and the birth of each warship involves hundreds of industries.

Regardless of whether we were originally willing to admit that the Empire was indeed backward in the overall industrial chain with the Holy Roman Empire.

Not only the construction of warships, but also the construction of related supporting facilities, and the cost of maintaining warships in the later stage, we are slightly higher than the enemy."

There is no way, industries such as warships that involve many related companies have to be affected by the industrial system.

As the world's largest industrial power, the Holy Roman Empire is obviously more advantageous in this regard.

The production cost of spare parts with the same function is lower than that of other countries, and the higher the technical content, the more obvious this cost advantage is.

In the era of free trade, there are no restrictions. British shipyards can also purchase spare parts from Shinra, which is nothing more than a little freight, and there is no obvious disadvantage in cost.

But with the collapse of the free trade system, these good days are gone forever. Imports require high tariffs and lose their cost-effectiveness.

The local companies that were originally forced to the brink of bankruptcy finally turned over, but now they naturally have to replenish their blood.

The purchase price of spare parts has increased, and the unit price quoted by the shipyard has naturally increased.

For the healthy development of the industry, this order can only be bought by the British government. If you want to reduce the cost, you can only wait for the relevant companies to complete technological innovation.

Of course, although the cost has increased, it will not be as excessive as directly increasing by 40%.
