Blackstone Code Chapter 1154: Choose silence
Calling late at night is often not a good thing.
Not to mention that the Prime Minister is a person of considerable social influence. The more such a person is, the less likely someone will disturb him late at night. Moreover, he is still an old man.
At this point he answered the voice on the phone, the content was short, then he hung up and called the housekeeper again.
Although the housekeeper also lives in this house, they are not on the same floor, and he doesn't want to go outside the housekeeper's door and knock on his door, and then ask him to go to the door to collect an item.
The phone only rang once and was picked up, and the butler's voice could be heard a little tired, "Sorry, I have to disturb your rest so late, can you help me deliver the documents at the door to my study?"
"It is my pleasure to serve you, sir."
The Prime Minister hung up the phone, sat for about ten more seconds, leaned over and kissed his wife's forehead, then left the bedroom wearing a dress.
Five minutes later, the neatly dressed butler appeared in the study with a briefcase.
"Put it here..." The Prime Minister put on his reading glasses and pointed to the table in front of him.
After the housekeeper put it down, he went to make coffee and cakes for him. The Prime Minister does not sleep, and he cannot sleep. He must always guard the Prime Minister's side to deal with any emergencies.
The Prime Minister looked at the calfskin brown briefcase, pushed the brass buckle on the briefcase, and with a burp, the briefcase opened its mouth and contained a stack of documents.
He took it out and looked at it carefully.
These were just sent back from the Federation via telegram, and his brows furrowed when he saw the title.
When the Silver Alliance was established, they stood on the side of the Federation. In addition to the fact that they needed to use the malicious speculation about silver by the Charlie brothers and sisters to clean up some of the capitalists, more importantly, they also discovered the problems of the Silver Alliance and silver currency. .
Once a currency alliance is established and stabilized, this natural grouping advantage will bridge the gap between small and large countries.
They can share and cooperate in terms of technology and import and export trade. At this time, they cannot be regarded as individuals, but should be regarded as a whole.
Once these small nations are united as one, it's also a very poor outcome for Gavra.
So they sided with the Federation and destroyed the Silver Alliance.
But at this time, the Federals actually started to form an alliance. Judging from this document, they intend to establish a currency and trade organization, and they already have mature terms.
This is not a hasty decision, they have been planning for a long time, at least half a year.
"Master..."
The housekeeper was at the door with a plate. He had just kicked the cook's **** to get the lazy egg to get up and warm up some pastries, as well as a pot of coffee and a pot of herbal tea.
"Come in, you don't need to be so restrained, I've been with you longer than I've been with my wife!", the Prime Minister joked, but not a joke.
He and his housekeeper grew up together, and for a long time, about four or five years, he regarded the housekeeper as his older brother.
It wasn't until he began his family's elite education that he discovered that the housekeeper was not his brother, but his most reliable confidant.
He never regarded the housekeeper as a servant, and the housekeeper also performed his mission very well, and the two cooperated well.
Sometimes the housekeeper can make Mr. Prime Minister feel dogmatic and rigid, he always says-
"You don't need to be so polite!"
"You don't need to be so cautious!"
"You don't need to..."
But he was always so polite, so cautious, so...
Actually, the Prime Minister also knows that his sensibility is often instantaneous, just like in the middle of the night at this time, between exhaustion and various conflicts, he occasionally becomes emotional.
But the housekeeper doesn't take it seriously. If he really doesn't even knock on the door or say hello when he enters the study, then it must be the time for him to leave here.
"Tea and coffee, and some pastries, I told the cook to try not to put too much honey."
The butler placed the items on Mr. Prime Minister's right hand, then returned to the wall and stood.
"Thank you!", the Prime Minister thanked each other, and even tried to invite, "Do you need a drink?"
The butler smiled and lowered his face. "I've already had a drink in the kitchen, sir."
The Prime Minister nodded and continued to look at the documents in front of him. The Commonwealth really chose a very good time...
The Prime Minister thought so as he watched.
Now that the conflict between the aristocracy and the royal family has become public, many people know that the Prime Minister and the Privy Council want to seize power, even some people and capitalists already know it.
The purpose of using the silver case as an excuse to purge a group of capitalists this time is to first purge some of the big capitalists attached to the royal family.
There is always a reason why the royal family has been standing for so many years. No matter what kind of crisis it can survive, the Prime Minister and the big nobles in the Privy Council dare not underestimate the royal family.
They won't do it so quickly, they will only peel off layer by layer the strongest defense of the royal family, revealing its most fragile innermost, and then give it a fatal blow.
Simple to say, in fact, this process is very long, and the next two to three years will revolve around the struggle between the noble group and the royal family.
If they still have to devote their energy to fighting against the currency trade alliance that the Federals have made, it will inevitably delay the outcome of the battle between the noble group and the royal family.
This kind of thing can't be delayed. If it is delayed for too long, the royal family will have the upper hand, and no one knows when the next war will break out.
If the Prime Minister wants to have a stable, stable regime when the war breaks out, it is best to end the "strife" for good a few years before the war.
No energy, no ability to fight the Commonwealth...
After putting down the document, there is no expression on the Prime Minister's face, which may be some of the choices that every politician faces.
You always have to choose, and then you gain something and lose something, there is no "have it both", and it is the best result that you can not fail on both sides.
He rubbed his eyes, looked up at the clock, more than an hour had passed since he picked up the document, time passed so fast!
He picked up the slightly hot coffee and took a sip.
The housekeeper re-burns coffee for him several times during the period, making sure the coffee in front of him is always the right temperature, not cold.
Take a bite of the deadly sweet little pastry, which is quickly overshadowed by the burnt aroma.
He put down the document in his hand, sighed, and stood up on the arm of the chair.
The next day, after discussions in the cabinet, Gavra's diplomat in the Baylor Federation received news from Gavra's main island.
The content is not much, it can be divided into two parts.
The first part is "Don't make small moves", the second part is "Join in", the meaning of this island is very obvious, they will not interfere, but they will not leave.
No matter how you join first, there may be opportunities to operate later, but for now, do nothing.
The diplomat has some knowledge of what's going on on the island, and it's hard for him to believe that the situation on the island has gotten so serious—
The federation has begun to encircle its territory internationally. The island does not even want to stop it, and it does not even have the idea of confrontation. This is very difficult for diplomats to accept.
Sometimes, some things will only happen for a moment. If you don't do anything with this alliance now, you will never have a chance in the future.
Being in the Commonwealth, diplomats know very well that the Commonwealth has surpassed the vast majority of countries in the world in terms of trade and technology development, and the international commodity society will only rely more and more on them.
When these countries are accustomed to using the Federation Sol for international trade, does Gavra want to intervene again?
Diplomats are pessimistic about the outcome of this scenario, it is clear that they can't do anything, they can't do anything!
This feeling is completely different from the previous years. He has traveled to many countries and served as ambassador or diplomatic liaison officer in these countries.
He has witnessed the **** of an empire over the world with his own eyes, and anyone, including emperors and presidents of those countries, must treat him with respect.
Because he can decide the future of a country with a telegram, a phone call, or a handwritten letter anytime, anywhere.
At that time, he was glorious, and he was bathed in Gavra's glory.
But then, everything changed.
He clearly felt that Gavra was getting worse every day, and it was difficult to even fight against him.
It was a harrowing feeling that everything he loved was fading away.
It's not like winter, the withering of winter can exchange for the blooming of spring and summer!
The withering of a country will be forever!
The Gafras raised no objections, and the transparent attitude made the first members of the minor league keenly aware that an era was truly over.
If it was in the past, Gafra's diplomats would slap the table and threaten them. Whoever dared to work with the Federals, Gafra's fleet would stop on whose coastline to block their foreign trade.
Now, the diplomat just silently expressed no objection to the ~IndoMTL.com~ Some shackles, some shackles in people's hearts, slowly shattered.
The new alliance issue has begun to advance slowly but in an orderly manner. Compared with this thing that many people don't know yet, more people's eyes are still focused on the silver case!
After a few days of plummeting, the current price of silver has returned to stability, around 3 yuan and 40, which is actually much higher than the original price.
It may be the public's expectation or perception of it, and it is this price that finally returned to the essence of the market after the state intervened to burst the inflated silver price bubble.
In the future for a long, long time, the price of silver will not have a particularly significant ups and downs, three or five years, or longer.
It is only possible to usher in new changes after its price is completely absorbed by the market now.
However, it does make history.
History is in the past, but some, not in the past!
