New Shun 1730
Chapter 1301 Death and Revenge (II)
This plan was the end of Pitt's political life.
But he could use his body as nutrition to nourish the political power of their "Patriot Party", that is, the four-family alliance of Pitt and the three branches of the Temple family.
More importantly, it could strike at the king's forces that tended to "return of the king" and the Tory forces that made a comeback.
However, the price was that Pitt would definitely step down.
Someone had to be responsible for the failure of the war to calm the public's dissatisfaction.
Pitt sneered at this idea.
"I saved Britain, survived the disastrous year after Menorca, and ushered in the miracle year afterwards. But now, no one remembers my achievements in saving Britain, and they all want to drive me out. They are all a bunch of cowards. Our finances are indeed difficult, but are the French comfortable? Aren't their finances more difficult than ours?"
Grenville admitted that it was Pitt who created the miracle year. This was due to Pitt's subsidies to Prussia, the tradition of the British Navy, and Pitt's strategy of "blockading France, attacking colonies, and not landing in Europe."
However, behind this strategy, there is a huge flaw.
The entire strategy revolves around "sea control." Once the sea control is taken away by others, then others can use the same strategy to destroy Britain.
Behind the sea control, why did Britain have so many warships? Pitt avoided talking about this.
Britain's first large-scale shipbuilding was around the time when Cromwell promulgated the "Navigation Act." It was precisely because of Britain's almost terrifying trade control, relying on the "Commonwealth" concept created by Cromwell and the forced sales system of colonies, and increasing tariffs by 15% on each merchant ship, that a huge fleet was developed.
This huge fleet, in turn, prevented other countries from selling goods to colonies; and preventing other countries from selling goods to colonies, in turn, promoted Britain's trade prosperity, allowing the construction of a larger fleet.
The question is, was the miracle year won by Pitt? Or was it because the British fleet was far superior to the French fleet whose military spending was tilted towards the army?
Is a person who can effectively grasp the stock and use this stock to bet on a future and victory of "maintaining all the old systems" a great strategist?
Grenville had to remind Pitt at this time that their Patriot Party had a big problem.
"Pitt, we started out by opposing the government. We talk big, defend traditions, and ridicule cowards... But we all lack some experience in politics in technical positions."
"For example, trade, colonies, taxation... We actually know nothing about it. Your strategy is broad, but no matter how broad the strategy is, it also needs these detailed and technical officials to support it."
"The fall of Gibraltar will not save France's finances. However, London's finance has collapsed. Those Spanish Jews no longer support us and began to frantically sell their bonds."
Pitt sneered disdainfully: "These people are a group of vampires and traitors. Cromwell should not have allowed them to come to London. There was not a single Hebrew name on the bankruptcy list of the South Sea Bubble!"
Grenville did not want to argue with Pitt about these right and wrongs about the Jews. He just reminded Pitt.
"Pitt, we opposed the Jewish Naturalization Act of 1953 because it tarnished Christ."
"But it was the Sephardic Jews who firmly supported the government during the Jacobite Rebellion; formed Jewish volunteer battalions; and when the Jacobite Rebellion and our regular army fought in Europe with France to defend Hanover, it was these Sephardic Jews who bought government bonds and bonds, refused to run on the bank, and stabilized the financial market."
"Therefore, they were qualified to be discussed for naturalization."
"However, wasn't it because of our operation that the bill was repealed in Parliament the following year?"
"Your prestige comes from the people, and the people are anti-Semitic."
"Those Sephardic Jews have proved their loyalty to Britain, but we overturned the Naturalization Act of 1953."
"Now, they choose to retaliate against us in the way they are good at."
"The fall of Gibraltar is a symbol, a symbol that a strong fortress cannot withstand the attack of the Chinese . "
"It is not in Britain, but it symbolizes Britain's fortress. Now, national debts, bonds, banks, and have fallen into complete madness, and a huge panic has swept our country. "
"Hatred is spreading, and every citizen who may be a Jacobite is considered a possible traitor. There have been at least twenty killings caused by panic and suspicion. "
"The shares of the East India Company have completely become the same as South Sea bonds. No one will support an East India Company that has lost India and China, just like the Chinese did to the Dutch. "
"Why did Cromwell allow Jews to settle in the first place? Because he wanted to go to war with the Dutch, hoping that through the war, the Jews would come to London from Amsterdam, that is, to bring their capital to London. "
"But now, the Chinese are protecting the neutrality of the Netherlands and instigating a coup in the Netherlands. The Williamites of the Netherlands were completely defeated by financiers and oligarchs. These capitals have better options and they no longer pin their hopes on London. "
"In 1953, Sampson Gideon led the Jews to buy national bonds and stabilize finances in order to obtain settlement laws and obtain the right to invest in real estate and purchase real estate. This was their last attempt. But in 1954, we tore up the Jewish naturalization law. This completely ruined their hopes.”
"Obviously, the Chinese hope to use the Netherlands to allow Jews throughout Europe, including those in Geneva, to go to the neutral Netherlands. They will provide loans for their canal construction and provide transit for their trade."
"Now that the Jews have made a choice, they are selling bonds and stocks, and this turmoil is beyond our control."
"Some people, however, took advantage of this opportunity to incite anti-Semitic sentiments and spread the propaganda that the Jews once again showed their rebellious nature and stabbed the country in the back during Britain's crisis. This further increased the number of Jews selling bonds and trying to leave London. The idea of going to Holland.”
"This is just the tip of the iceberg."
"The previous prosperity of trade and the forced trade protected by the fleet covered up many problems. Once our trade was cut off, many of the problems that had been covered up before expanded dramatically."
"The land tax question, the poor tax question, the search warrant question, the free trade question, the Irish question, the North American question, the Scottish question..."
"Peter, what we are facing now is not the crisis we faced when we dealt with the Spanish Armada."
"It's a systemic collapse of the entire country."
"Pamphlets about free trade are circulating everywhere. You have to know that the Chinese once instigated a coup in the Netherlands, and they will probably choose to use the same method against us."
"even……"
Grenville emphasized his tone.
"Even, there are some such as "The True Age of Cromwell", "The Prosperity of the English Republic", "On Diggers and Enclosure", "Ireland Either Gets Free Trade or Should Revolution", "On the Wool Act" Very extreme pamphlets such as "The Destruction of Ireland" and "The Scots were Betrayed by the Scottish Nobles on the Trading Company Debt" have begun to circulate in many places."
"I don't know if you have read it, but I can be sure that the ideas in it are full of dangers, incite violence, and intensify dissatisfaction... They even openly deny the legitimacy of the monarch and call for the destruction of Parliament, saying that Parliament has become a group of smugglers. Instruments controlled by overseas merchants to suppress the English people."
"Pete, the fleet is loyal and brave and can defend the Channel."
“But on this side of the Channel, a systemic collapse and decay is coming.”
"Everything in the past can no longer be recreated, because everything in the past is based on the premise that our navy can protect our trade and sink all ships entering our colonies."
"All your strategies are centered around restoring everything and consolidating the old. It is nothing more than expanding the old system, the old system, to Canada, Guadeloupe, Senegal, and India."
"Forgive me, this is indeed what the French newspaper in the Netherlands said. It was probably used by the Chinese to attack you, but it is undeniable that the Duke who is against us is right."
Here Granville quotes some Dutch editorials. Obviously, this set of analysis patterns is too familiar to them, because it is a very standard format for the Chinese people who vigorously promote free trade in Europe.
Contradictions, specimens, essences, classes... these things have begun to spread in Europe in recent years.
Amsterdam and Geneva were the two major speech centers in Europe at this time, as well as the two major financial centers in Europe. After all, one is where commercial capital first achieved the status of the ruling class, and the other is "Protestant Rome."
There are many French newspapers in the Netherlands, or many French opposition parties publish editorials and comments in the Netherlands or Geneva.
After Dashun ensured the neutral status of the Netherlands and the economic status of the East-West trade smuggling transit station, the Netherlands has been somewhat rejuvenated and prosperous in recent years.
Although this boom was based on the decline of the northern agricultural provinces, the total collapse of the textile industry in Leiden and other places, the destruction of guilds, and the comprehensive suppression of small farmers and small producer guilds by local oligarchies, the financial and commercial boom was based on it.
But it can still be said to be thriving, as long as those that decline and collapse are excluded.
Some editorials in the Netherlands are actually Dashun’s propaganda machine. But the article cited by Grenville was really not written by Liu Yu, but by the New School or Real School of Dashun, which he deduced based on that set of methodology and three views.
This result sounds quite sensational: is the radical and militant Pete a conservative? Just expanding the scope of the old era according to the logic of the old era?
At first glance, no one believed it.
But now, some people have shown some taste, and it seems to be true. It seems, indeed.
