Mediterranean Hegemony Road

London in this era is the most prosperous metropolis in the world, bar none.

In 1928, the population of London had exceeded 9.5 million and was approaching the 10 million mark.

Perhaps it won't be long before the world's first giant city with a population of over 10 million will appear.

Whether it is Paris in France, Sofia in Bulgaria, Vienna in Austria-Hungary, Berlin in Germany, or New York in North America, nothing can compare with it.

The world's financial capital, political capital, economic capital, and industrial capital, London has too many titles.

More than half of the world's financial transactions are completed here. Without the United States as a rival, the prosperity of the Victorian era has continued to the present.

If someone counts GDP, they will be surprised to find that the total GDP of London actually exceeds 90% of the countries in the world.

The economic aggregate of the British Empire ranks first in the world, while London's economic aggregate ranks sixth in the world, second only to Bulgaria, France, Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, surpassing Japan and Italy.

The most abnormal thing is that London's economic growth rate has exceeded 15% for five consecutive years, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Of course, this miracle is what the British themselves think, and it has not been recognized by the whole world.

The British Empire has invested so many resources and entered this city, and the slow development will cause problems.

Is London really that beautiful?

wrong!

As long as people who have been to London in winter rarely have a good impression of this city, the gray sky is shrouded in this place, and entering London seems to have stepped into a new world.

Prince William frowned, hell is this London? At a glance, the visibility was less than 100 meters. It was hard for him to imagine how the people here survived!

Although the British are engaged in de-industrialization and have saved some harsh environments to a certain extent, this is London - the industrial capital of the world!

In a city with a population of nearly 10 million, necessary factory facilities are indispensable. In this era, everyone has no concept of environmental pollution. Factory sewage is discharged on the spot, and life is directly incinerated.

In contrast, the situation in Sofia is much better. There is thick smoke billowing within a hundred miles, so the scenery is naturally beautiful.

William was naturally not used to staying in London, and after getting off the plane, he felt unwell. It seems that the air here is poisonous and can suffocate people.

If it wasn't for courtesy, if it wasn't for the task Ferdinand gave him, William wouldn't mind returning immediately.

Longing for London, he could swear that anyone who yearns to live here is a fool!

He didn't dare to imagine that this ghostly place is still the most livable city in the world?

Don't the British media have no morals at all?

Answer: no!

Doesn't their conscience ache when they rank London as the world's most livable city?

Answer: no!

Your Highness, Henry, Duke of Gloucester is here! the attendant reminded

(Note: The third son of Henry George V, Duke of Gloucester)

Long time no see William, welcome to London! Henry, Duke of Gloucester said happily

(Remarks: The seniority of European nobles is very messy, they are not direct relatives, and usually everyone doesn't care about seniority.)

Thanks!

Henry, is the weather in London always like this? William asked suspiciously

No, it's only three or four months, it will be fine after winter! Henry said calmly

It seemed that he was used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong. Moreover, industrial cities in this era are all like this, and environmental pollution is inevitable.

God, this is really bad news, don't you just take care of it? William said with a frown

As long as he thinks that he will spend the next few months in this ghost place, his mood will not be better.

Control? How to manage? The weather is a problem, this is managed by God and his old man,

We can't control it! Henry shrugged and said.

Damn it! Shut down all those messy factories, won't you?

You know, as soon as I got off the plane, I smelled a bad smell, like falling into a garbage dump! said William, frowning.

In his view, this is a very simple question. As long as there is a decree to relocate these factories, the pollution in London can be reduced by half.

God, did I hear you right? William, your solution is to close all the factories in London? Prince Henry asked uncertainly

Of course, this is the easiest way. As long as there are no such heavily polluting factories, the weather in London will slowly return to normal! Prince William said after thinking for a while

God, this idea is really good, but only God can do it! Henry said seriously

Is this difficult? William asked suspiciously.

It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, but it's simply impossible!

The capitalists will not agree, it will cause them heavy losses; the workers will not agree, this is smashing their jobs!

Don't tell me, you don't know the consequences of doing this? Henry asked seriously

Of course I know, these problems can be solved, you can take your time.

For example: Prohibit opening more factories, order certain industries to move out within a time limit, the government will pay a little relocation fee, and relocate to build industrial parks. Prince William thought for a while and said.

These measures were used by Ferdinand, and the effect was very good, so William said it directly.

Oh, I think this issue should be left to the government. You know that our two countries are different! Henry frowned and said

William nodded, he also knew the problem. It is easy to give up rights, but it is difficult to get them back. George V gave up his rights at the beginning of his succession. If he interferes with these issues now, it will be thankless.

Changing the subject, how are you preparing? Before long, we may become neighbors! William asked with concern

This matter is very troublesome. You must know that our appetite is a bit big this time, and we are not sure that we will succeed!

Although the government agrees to cooperate with our actions, the support is probably very limited. It may be difficult to obtain such a large benefit at once! Henry thought for a while and said

Of course, it's not that simple! There are thirteen kingdoms in North America, and your father occupies three crowns. Now your family needs three crowns, and my family needs four crowns.

This time it was almost wrapped up by our Gotha family. Where is such a cheap thing?

However, as long as you can handle the government, I don't think it's a big problem. Don't forget, behind us are the two most powerful countries in the world!

As long as we join hands, no one can stop our actions! William said murderously.

William is not talking nonsense. There are really few things that cannot be done in this world when the two countries join forces.

But the problem is, the British royal family can't be the master of the government?

It is no problem to let the British cabinet verbally support their actions, but it is difficult to get them to support them with all their strength.

Why choose to act at this time? It's not because Stanley Baldwin's cabinet is about to leave. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of them staying in office is almost zero.

At this time, many things can be discussed. We are all human beings with emotions and desires. Is it any wonder that they use their power to seek their own interests?

Including Henry, they are so active, not for their own interests. North America is not a remote country, and its development is not much worse than that of the European continent.

At this time, being a king in the past, the interests behind it are naturally indispensable, even if it is a rubber stamp king, the resources in his hands. It is not comparable to an ordinary nobleman.

If only one or two crowns were operated, it would be easy for the two royal families, but this time the appetite was too great, so there was no result.

No way, who made this generation of the British royal family and the Bulgarian royal family highly productive?

George V has five sons and one daughter. The daughter is already married. Naturally, there is no need for George V to worry about other people's families. Unfortunately, the youngest son has died, otherwise he would not want three crowns.

Ferdinand even had six sons. Apart from the eldest son and the second son, how many boys below are still looking at him eagerly?

Poor parents all over the world, Ferdinand had to do his best to fight for them.

Henry frowned. He couldn't say such domineering words. The current British royal family doesn't have the confidence to let the government do their best for them!

This is not the same as handling the cabinet. There are only a few cabinet members, and there are ways to get them to cooperate, but it is difficult to handle the members of Congress.

George V is not Edward VII, nor Queen Victoria, and he does not have the ability to make a promise!

Of course, as long as we join forces, no enemy will be a concern! Henry said after thinking for a while

Even if the two royal families joined forces this time and cannot mobilize all the resources, it does not mean that their strength is weak.

The strength of the British royal family is not comparable to that of the same period in history. It was not hurt in World War I, and they still have enough money in their hands.

Ordinary people can do many things with money, let alone the royal family?

This is also what European kings envy Ferdinand the most. It always feels distressing to use the money in their own pockets to do things.

With the super high annuity of the Bulgarian royal family, these problems no longer exist, and the money can be boldly and safely used to buy people's hearts.

This is also the largest wealth that Ferdinand left for his descendants. The huge annuity must not be pocketed, and if it is saved, it cannot have cubs. Of course it has to be spent?

How to spend it? It's just a question from a university. If you donate it foolishly, you're out of your mind.

As a king, you can buy people's hearts openly, and no one can say that you are wrong!

For example, in a peaceful age, raising a private army that only obeys your own orders, or putting it out as a show, buying people's hearts, and so on.

These investments are all profitable, and all the expenses can be recovered through other industries. To turn the royal family into a brand, the cost of naming rights alone is an astronomical sum.

Of course, this is the most rubbish method. As a king, you are the top wave among the rich and powerful. No matter how the situation changes, you are the one who plays chess.

This is very important. The people who will always stand at the top in this world are the chess players, followed by the chess pieces on the chessboard. The worst ones are naturally those who are not even qualified to be chess pieces.

Ferdinand is acting, and other great nobles in Europe are also acting. Eggs are not put in one basket. Everyone understands this truth.

Now it's time to finally reveal the trump card, and William's trip to London this time, since it is a joint operation, naturally requires in-depth communication.
