Since the news of the French Navy's victory spread, it immediately caused a sensation in European countries. The entire "civilized world" immediately united and prepared to set off a frenzy of dividing the United Kingdom.

Yes, the entire civilized world is now very hungry. During the economic crisis, European countries, except for the French who used North American gold and were still doing well, the situation in other European countries is not very good. In free trade, their enterprises, for various reasons, even if we don’t even talk about technology and scale, are just not able to obtain low-interest loans from the “Roman Bank”, which is fatal enough. Unable to obtain loans with lower interest rates, lead to higher financing costs, increase in financing costs, increase in product costs, increase in commodity prices, increase in commodity prices, fail to sell commodities, lead to breaking of capital chains...

Just as in another time and space, a great man said in his classic book "Capital": "From a product to a commodity, it is a thrilling leap, and its result is either to generate profits or to kill the capitalists." So those Austrian, Prussian, Rhine, Italian, and lowland capitalists appeared one by one on the rooftops and other places.

However, the French are worthy of being the leader of the free world, and are rich in all kinds of great charitable people. So when the foreign capitalists were already standing on the rooftop with their feet trembling, looking down, then closing their eyes, full of nostalgia for this world, and traveling to another world, obtaining golden fingers, becoming Long Aotian, and then receiving all the illusions..., and when they were about to leap, they grabbed them with one hand.

When they look back, they often see a guy in a formal gray dress with a top hat on his head (many people suspect that the reason they wear hats no matter what weather is to hide some unique feature on their heads), monocles of glasses on their nose, and a contract written on parchment in their hands - ah, no, although it looks a bit similar, the contract is really not written on parchment.

These people will tell him: "You don't have to be so desperate, because you still have a chance. As long as you are willing to transfer part of your shares, together with yourself, to some gentlemen. Well, although your shares are no longer sold due to operating difficulties, we don't value all these shares, but more importantly, your ability. Yes, it's your ability. Being able to persist until now stands here is a manifestation of your ability. As long as you sign this agreement, you can get the urgently needed capital flow, and to the outside world, you are still the boss of this company."

Those who come to acquire companies that still have certain acquisition value are naturally from the French military-industrial complex. According to Joseph, in the economic crisis, due to the influence of panic, many very valuable companies will have serious undervalued values, which is a good opportunity to acquire them.

As for why he still left his original boss, he even left him a little bit of shares. Of course, the original boss is quite capable and knows how to operate and is worth exploiting, but more of it is...

"Napoleon, if one day, most of the bosses of French companies become British, do you think the French people would hate the British?" When discussing this issue, Joseph asked Napoleon such a question.

"Of course. Who else in the world doesn't hate the boss? I heard that in some companies, even those white-collar civilians like to hum the song "Slave War Song" when they are fine. Speaking of which, you are the ones who harm people!" Napoleon replied.

"Napoleon, do you know that in this world, there are two basic ways to distinguish people." Joseph said, "One method of distinction is to distinguish based on economic status. To be simple, it is the poor and the rich. Generally speaking, the poor will naturally hate the rich, while the rich will naturally despise the poor. This is not out of misunderstandings, but a real dispute over interests.

The second division is to divide people into different ethnic groups based on language, customs, etc. French, British, Austrian, Italian, etc. Of course, there are also disputes between various ethnic groups. But to be honest, do the poor in France really have a dispute with the poor in Austria? Will they naturally hate the poor in Austria? How is this possible?

To put it simply, hatred between classes is inevitable, but hatred between nations is not inevitable unless these two things overlap.”

"Did these two things overlap?" said Napoleon.

"Well, for example, look at Ireland and Poland. Why can I make a fuss in Ireland and Poland not make a fuss? The Poles are still secretly throwing grenades and other things, which is completely unfamiliar. Why?"

Napoleon had no answer.

"Look at Poland, why don't the Poles at the bottom oppose the Russians, Prussians and Austrians? Because compared to the Russians Prussians and Austrians, they even hate the Polish nobles more. Those who are clamoring to rebel, but who do not get the support of the lower classes can do what can they do? Just like France, if the trousers without trousers did not stand up during the Revolution, wouldn't it be easy for the king to crush Jacobin to death?

On the contrary, look at Ireland. When the British arrived in Ireland, they imposed heavy taxes, which made the entire Irish turn into poor people, and the English became landlord bosses. So the conflict between the Irish and the British seemed to be ethnic conflicts on the surface, but what hides the more deadly class conflicts under the ethnic conflicts. So who doesn’t hate the British at the bottom of Ireland? So look at the Irish people, when they rebelled, they were determined and determined. Haha, without their cooperation, we could deal with the British so well.

We cannot make the mistakes made by the British in Ireland in other countries. The British make the Irish feel that the Irish are all poor, and the British are all landlord bosses, at least they are all exposed to them. This is a big problem. We cannot repeat the same mistakes.

So we must pay attention to using agents in other ethnic groups. Those workers and farmers at the bottom cannot figure out the equity structure of a company. They cannot know who the real big bosses of these companies are. They can only directly contact the direct 'boss' who manage and operate the company. Their hatred will only be concentrated on these people. We can continue to use these people to squeeze them while being good people, so that the guys at the bottom can be full of favors for the French."

Speaking of this, Joseph couldn't help but remember what he had seen in his previous life, Ah Mei, what he saw.

Speaking of which, the area of ​​East Asia developed very well, especially Nanbangzi, which had a very good development momentum. Then, Ah Mei, you see the periodic operation of the meta-cyclical operation, um Mei, Nanbangzi was immediately stunned. A lot of companies were about to be ruined. At this time, Citi, **** and so on, they took a checkbook to play the role of God. Then, 55% of Samsung Group's common stock and 88% of preferred stocks became theirs. Fundamentally, at this time, Samsung Group was actually a company like Ah Mei.

However, Ah Mei, you see, she was very smart and did not touch Samsung's management, so the whole world, of course, what is more important is Quannan Bang, and they still think that Samsung is still owned by the Li family. Although the shareholding ratio of the entire Li family is less than 2%. If Koreans want to scold the chaebol, they will definitely still scold the surname Li, not Morgan.

Since you have seen such successful experiences, wouldn’t you be a time traveler if you don’t learn them? Therefore, the acquisitions proposed by the French to those European companies are very secret and very kind. Generally speaking, the original bosses have kept their "leadership" in the company and have a certain number of shares that are different. (If they don’t have shares, they will become workers who have little to do with the profits of the company. Then God knows whether they will use their power to buy companies to make a fortune.)

By now, the acquisition of particularly valuable companies has been almost done, and it is time to let these companies make profits to the empire. And the thing that can best play this role is naturally the division of Britain.

The first horn of the craze for dividing Britain was naturally sounded from Ireland. Just the day after the news of the Battle of the North Atlantic was confirmed, the United Irish Federation published an editorial in its official newspaper, Free Ireland: "The last battle against the British colonists!"

This short article was printed separately into a special issue. They were first sent to various areas, counties, districts, and villages of the base. In the previous counterattack, the entire Ireland "free zone" had rapidly expanded and connected into one. The British had already shrunk into several limited large cities along the coast. The Irish people have become increasingly convinced that they can win independence immediately. In the village, in the town, the independence soldiers in gray-green military uniforms recited this article loudly in front of the crowd. Their excited voices were interrupted by the cheers of the masses from time to time.

"On October 12, the French Republic declared war on Britain. On October 20, the French Navy defeated the British Navy in the North Atlantic waters between Iceland and England. This victory declared the complete collapse of British sea power, the evil pillar of British colonists who relied on to rule the world and plunder the people of the world.

Thanks to this victory of our French allies, the process of freedom and liberation of the Irish people will be greatly accelerated…”
