1717 New American Empire

Collins formally met with Xiao Lin in the No. 1 conference room on the fifth floor of the Government Affairs Building. He was extremely respectful throughout the process. Xiao Lin originally wanted to give Collins a blow, but when he reached out and refused to hit the smiling man, his attitude was already relaxed.

If it is extremely low, if you continue to harm others, then it is not a matter of showing power or not, but a question of quality. Collins feels that it has always been the British who took the initiative to provoke the Yanhuang Trading Company.

Because of the Qing Dynasty's secluded policy, the West knew very little about China, and they didn't know how Yan and Huang came from China. No one in the outside world had doubted Xiao Lin's identity as an Indian. The Adams family occupied the Eagle Tribe.

It cannot be said that the Eagle Tribe was at fault for being attacked on its territory. Although the heir to the Adams family died in a leopard's mouth while fleeing, it was not wrong to attribute it to the Eagle Tribe. It was normal to send troops to retaliate.

However, the Adams Family was too careless and did not exterminate them directly when they were weak. Later, they were overturned by a company car. This was the fault of the Adams Family, and Charlie did not go too far in the beginning when he stood up for the Adams Family.

Paying attention to it was the fault of the entire British North American colonies. Since you made a mistake and wanted to solve it, it was inevitable to lower your profile. As an outstanding nobleman, Collins naturally knew this very well.

However, Xiao Lin's own family knew about his own affairs, and he was actually the one who started the dispute with the British North American colonies. If he hadn't planned on the three hundred white pioneers brought by Tony Adams, if he hadn't wanted to rely on these

Tony will not die if a person has done something good, and the Adams family will probably not send troops to retaliate. Although there will definitely be conflicts with the British because of expansion in the end, at least the Adams family and the Pandey family will not be so miserable.

.

If there is no company, the British will slowly dominate the North American continent. Until there are no foreign enemies, they will risk their lives and squeeze the civilians under their rule, causing an uprising in the United States. Maybe the North American continent will become a dazzling pearl in the Queen's crown. Therefore, Xiao Lin's psychology

He still felt a little guilty. If he didn't even have this guilty conscience, then he would have completely evolved into a politician with a full level of Houheixue. After saying a few words, Xiao Lin consciously stopped his subordinates from mocking Collins and directly

Get to the point.

Collins came here for two purposes. One is to reach a non-aggression agreement with the company, at least before the British and the French decide the winner, to ensure that the Yanhuang Trading Company will not side with the French. Of course,

It would be even better if the Yanhuang Trading Company could be brought to the British side. And this is actually the second real purpose. However, there is no hope for the realization of this purpose in the colony, and Corinth is just allowed to do his best.

Fight for.

The second goal that Corinth must accomplish is to obtain civilian and military material support from the company. For the nobility, especially those who have exploited them for decades or hundreds of years in North America, there is no shortage of money. But now the British Empire

The situation in the colonies has reached the edge of the cliff. Because of the repeated attacks by Charles and the brutal behavior of the French invading the colonies, most of the people have no intention of producing.

The weapons produced by the colonial arsenal were barely able to compete with the weapons of the French, and were not enough for them to defeat the weak. The sharp sword-type muskets that Charlie ordered personally had been verified during this period.

It's not necessary. After all, it's a wrong way.

The imitation is not as safe and stable as the brown bass. And it takes a long time of training before a soldier can use it qualifiedly. The key is that because of the complex process and high requirements for steel materials, a sharp sword can be used in one style.

The cost is worth five brown basses.

Under the current critical situation, the Sharp Sword Type I is simply not suitable for use by the British army in the North American colonies. Although the fleet seeking help has set off, if they cannot support the arrival of local support, even if there is a powerful fleet, it will be

It is of no use anymore. Besides, the French fleet is not vulnerable. This back and forth will take from one year to one year and three months at the earliest. The messenger has arrived, so there is no need to discuss the decision.

It will take time to mobilize troops and supplies and load ships.

Therefore, the British want to purchase weapons and food from the Yanhuang Trading Company. Under the influence of the most advanced agricultural technology guidance and water pumps and fertilizers in the 21st century, the company has never had a bad harvest, it has always been a bumper harvest, and it has long been possible to achieve food

It was self-produced and self-sufficient. Later, the cannery was built and expanded, and with the addition of some food purchased from other places, various canned meats and fruits became the company's top products. Naturally, the British knew that the company was not short of food.

As for weapons, the company has already created a brand effect. The entire North American continent, except for those Indians who stay in the mountains and have no contact with the outside world, all know that the company's weapons are extremely advanced and reliable. The British do not expect the company to make the most

Advanced muskets and artillery were sold to them, and the highest requirement was to exceed the French muskets and artillery by 10%. To this end, Collins also brought the French muskets and artillery that they had captured.

Xiao Lin couldn't answer him immediately, so he invited him to a company and government work meal, and then let Collins go to rest. And he summoned all the people in the core group who stayed on the North American continent to discuss together. The so-called core group

, that is, Yu Xiao, Qu Jun, Yu Wei, several relatives and friends who supported him, and representatives of veterans and old factory workers who joined them later. Some of them were too late, so they used wired phones to express their opinions, and there were dedicated people to deliver the meeting to them.

content.

"Let's talk about whether we should agree to the British."

"Ahem, as one of the earliest senior members of the company, I, Qu Jun, would like to speak first. First of all, I think that in this war between Britain and France, we should stand behind. In other words, we cannot get involved with real swords and guns.

In this war, after years of fighting, the ratio of soldiers to civilians has become very large. The army suffered a lot of casualties last time. If you want to make up for it, you must recruit more people. And relying only on two slave traders, the population growth rate is too slow. Again

Recruitment will definitely affect the company's industrial and agricultural development."

"I very much agree with this point. This is also the tone I set at the beginning, which is to build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king."

"Boss is right. Let me add to what Qu Jun said. Although we cannot personally get involved in this war, we can coordinate behind the scenes. How to coordinate? It is to keep the British and French forces evenly matched. If one side is weak, strengthen the other.

Strength requires both sides to invest more troops into this meat grinder and continue to weaken the military potential of both sides. But now, it is obvious that the British are at an absolute disadvantage."

"It's true that the French only dispatched half of their troops. They are already struggling very hard because they were beaten too hard from the front..."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense."

After Xiao Lin, Qu Jun, and Yu Xiao spoke, the conference room became lively. Everyone exchanged opinions and talked about everything, and it was a little noisy. Xiao Lin waited for a while, turned up the volume of the microphone, and stopped them from slowly changing.

High voice.

"Okay, let's start the voting now. If you decide to support the British at this stage, please raise your hands."

In order to show their importance, everyone in the core group has the right to vote. This is the influence of the 21st century, and Xiao Lin has no way to change it. Only in this way will they participate more actively in the company's affairs instead of just being a job.

If you just muddle along every day, you will get a dead salary. Of course, as the absolute leader, Xiao Lin has limited decision-making power with one vote. The so-called restriction means that when more than 90% of the people hold objections, Xiao Lin cannot

Go your own way.

Fortunately, in this vote, except for two old workers who abstained from voting, all the twenty-five members of the core group agreed.

"Very good, then let's discuss what we can sell to them."

"This is very simple. Except for strategic civilian supplies such as cement and asphalt, everything else can be sold. Since the British proposed food, we will sell food first. Recently, the cannery has developed a formula for canned blood meal. The taste is

It’s okay, I think it can be sold.”

As the company's director of civil industry, Qu Zhenguo stood up and spoke immediately when Xiao Lin looked over. The so-called canned blood meal is flour mixed with the blood of animals, pretending to be canned meat. This kind of canned food was used by the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War.

It was done in the later period due to shortage of supplies. Later, some black-hearted Chinese businessmen actually carried it forward. It was not until the promulgation of the Food Law that this behavior was completely eliminated.

In this day and age, Xiao Lin doesn’t care at all if he can trick someone. Moreover, the proposal to study the formula was proposed by Qu Zhenguo, a seemingly honest old man himself. This is not because Xiao Lin disrespects his elders.

The nickname was given by his son Qu Jun himself

After that, Qu Junke was hung up and beaten for a whole night, and the screams could be heard throughout the company officials' residential area. At least the company was not too bad, and they used high-quality flour and unexpired duck blood and pig blood.

The taste is adjusted to be not much different from canned lunch meat.

Still because of the raw materials, the cost is only half of the original canned meat. The price is the same, so you make more money.

"What about the weapons?"

"How about the Hall M1819 musket and the heavy punch front-loading rifled gun?"

"No, these two weapons are too easy to imitate. Even if there are obstacles, it will take at least ten years for white people to successfully imitate them. It will not be good for the company's future rule."

"But, wouldn't it be possible for them to copy it without selling it? Under the company's high pressure, they have already begun independent research. Moreover, the company's weapons cannot continue to improve."
