Chapter 213 The Old Years
Chapter 213 The Old Years
The wedding was grand. On the surface, John Bull seems to have risen again. Even if he has not returned to the peak era, the gap does not seem to be very big.
It has to be said that a country that was once powerful may indeed become stronger again, but it is a pity that John Bull cannot do this.
If this group of guys had gone to Tu'ao, they might still have some chances, but it's a pity that there is nothing in the British Isles, and they can be regarded as a model of a small country with few people.
It was hot, and William White would have gone home early were it not for politeness, not to mention that the pair were not a good match in any way.
"Oh, the flowers are stuck in cow dung."
"Nani, what are you talking about?"
"Well, they look very happy."
William White didn't bring any confidante with him on this trip. On such an important occasion, you can't take anyone casually. If people misunderstand, it is definitely not a good thing.
In William White's view, John Bull really knew how to calculate, and he supported the foot basin people to contain the Maozi, and later he contained the American emperor, and supported the Germans to contain the Gallic rooster.
I have to say that they have been doing a good job, but it is a pity that they underestimated their little cousin. After the Second World War, they completely lost their old scepter.
As for the countries they calculated, except for this little cousin, almost all of them were in bad luck. It has to be said that a set of continental balance policies almost killed all countries.
Some people say that the culprit of World War II was the mustache. Although this statement is true, how can you forget Maozi, they were with the mustache at that time.
And damn John Bull, the moustache wouldn't be able to grow at all if they didn't let it go. You really think Chamberlain is an idiot, maybe he did it on purpose.
Why didn't the Gallic rooster fight anymore?
People found out that so many people were lost in the First World War. If there is another Battle of the Marne, there will still be a few survivors of the Gallic Rooster.
When Europeans fight a war, it is basically over after the fight. I have never heard that they will be killed. It is better to appease than to die.
Well, some say no bones.
This is John Bull playing tricks, okay, why are they being cannon fodder?
Of course, it didn't end well with the mustache, so there was de Gaulle.
Haha, John Bull was so mad at that time, if it wasn't for the stupidity of the mustache, it would be impossible for anyone to escape from Dunkirk.
If you think about it, you will understand that there is definitely a connection between John Bull and Mustache. This person's status is not low. You really think that Mustache is a fool.
John Bull escaped and abandoned the soldiers of the Gallic Rooster. You can see from this that John Bull was completely outraged by being tricked, and he lost the most basic demeanor.
Dealing with this group of cunning guys, William White is no match at all. Fortunately, he has a team and there is no need to fight in person.
In William White's view, John Bull is finished, and there is no other option but to hug the thigh of the US emperor.
"Boss, BP is also in the process of selling. The recent oil price is relatively high, and it seems to be a bit messy."
"Well, they're going to privatize them all?"
"I heard that's the case. The desert tyrant is very interested."
"Haha, just entertaining casually. These bastards have a lot of money. Filson, what do you think is going on with the Hunter family? It's a conspiracy, something we all know, and the Fed won't know ?”
"Boss, you mean a trap."
"Ha, money touches people's hearts. The desert area was originally owned by John Bull. Now it not only needs to spend money to buy oil, but also to buy their largest company. Haha, if the bastards from Tuao come to buy it, they may bear it. As for It’s a joke to talk about desert tyrants.”
Felson didn't ask why William White made such a judgment. Anyway, he knew that the boss had absolutely no interest in these so-called good assets.
Using oil as a weapon is the beginning of a disaster. If you dare to intervene in the downstream industry, it is completely a question of IQ.
This was a big game of chess. To be honest, William White didn't dare to participate in it. This was a deadly business.
The younger brother of the US imperialists was beaten up, and you actually have some kind of oil embargo. Well, Europe is very cooperative, let alone sending troops, even the weapons cannot be transported.
The whole world is very cooperative with the desert tyrants, intending to disgust the US emperor.
Their goal has been achieved, and the US emperor is indeed disgusting, but that's it.
If your oil price rises, then my dollar will depreciate. If you want gold, it’s a dream, and you can’t take it away at all.
William White knows very well that the Star Wars project that is now being hyped is a scam. Lao Mei knows very well that Maozi’s economy is almost over. You can’t spend too much money on military exercises. Star Wars is so good. It will drag down Maozi's economy.
Oil is worth a lot now?
Then let the price of oil drop.
What? The group of soil turtles in the desert are not obedient, they even dare to make a fuss, the price of oil has also risen, and it is even better now, and you still want to control the downstream industry, and you actually plan to let Lao Mei ride a bicycle.
William White has no interest in BP, and he doesn't intend to interfere with John Bull's good business, and he doesn't even mind helping them raise their prices.
As a major oil-producing country in the world, the old United States actually needs to call on the people not to refuel on weekends.
It's quite funny to think about it. An oil crisis has allowed the foot basin people to seize the opportunity. Cars with low fuel consumption continue to sell well, and a bunch of old American car factories have been sent directly to the grave.
Laomei is actually being fooled. The fuel-efficient pedal cars are only theoretical figures. For cars of the same level, the pedals are about 100 kilograms lighter. If you increase the load, they will definitely consume more fuel than European cars.
Well, you said Buick, this is a bit heartbreaking. The suspension of Laomei’s car is not good, the fuel consumption is not good, and the quality is also a mess, but it is slightly better than the sticks of this period.
John Bull's wedding of the century is more like a swollen face to make a fat man. Your treasury is empty. Wouldn't it be better to just travel and get married? At least it can save money.
Today's England can be summed up in one word, that is to sell, no matter what you fancy, you basically buy it at once, well, this is very similar to a certain period in a certain dynasty, the biggest difference is, don't think about it. Cheap, it's impossible.
Well, as for dismissing workers and then selling them off, this is true. Everyone knows very well that the reason why these enterprises do not make money is that the burden is too heavy.
Of course capitalists don’t want these burdens. What they need is a clean asset, but it’s a pity that although the guild here is not as outrageous as the United States, it is absolutely not easy to mess with. The coal miners have been on strike for a year. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. possibility to solve the problem.
Welsh white coal is good, but it's useless. It's not during World War I, and John Bull doesn't have so many battleships. No matter how high the combustion value is, you can't compare it with oil.
No one wants such assets for free. If there are tens of thousands of workers, then don’t say anything. Whoever owns mines is a negative asset.
