1154 Choose Silence
Late night calls are usually not a good thing.
Not to mention that the Prime Minister is a person with considerable social influence. The more such a person is, the less likely anyone will disturb him late at night. Moreover, he is still an old man.
At this time, he answered the voice on the phone, and the content was very short. Then he hung up the phone and made another call to the housekeeper.
Although the housekeeper also lives in this house, they are not on the same floor, and he does not want to go to the housekeeper's door, knock on his door, and then ask him to collect something at the door.
The phone only rang once before it was picked up. You could hear the butler's voice was a little tired, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. Can you help me deliver the documents at the door to my study?"
"It is an honor to serve you, sir."
The Prime Minister hung up the phone, sat there for about ten seconds, kissed his wife on the forehead, and then left the bedroom wearing a piece of clothing.
Five minutes later, a 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 butler put him down, he went to make coffee and pastries for him. The Prime Minister did not sleep, and he could not sleep. He had to guard the Prime Minister's side at all times to deal with any emergencies.
The Prime Minister looked at the brown calfskin briefcase and pushed the brass buckle on the briefcase. With a hiccup, the briefcase opened its mouth and there was a pile of documents inside.
He took it out and looked at it carefully.
These had just been sent back from the Federation via telegram. When he saw the title, his brows furrowed.
When the Silver Alliance was established, they sided with the Federation. In addition to using the Charlie brothers and sisters' malicious speculation on silver to purge some capitalists, more importantly, they also discovered problems with the Silver Alliance and the silver currency.
Once a currency alliance is established and stabilized, this natural grouping advantage will bridge the gap between small countries and large countries.
They can share and cooperate in science and technology and import and export trade. At this time, they should not be regarded as individuals, but as a whole.
Once these small countries unite into a whole, it will also be a very bad result for Gaevra.
So they sided with the Federation and destroyed the Silver Alliance.
But at this time, the federal people actually started to form an alliance. Judging from this document, they planned to establish a currency and trade organization, and they already had mature terms.
This was not a hasty decision, they had been planning it for a long time, at least for more than half a year.
"master……"
The butler was at the door with a tray. He had just kicked the lazy ass of the cook and told him to get up and heat up some pastries. He also sent a pot of coffee and a pot of scented tea.
"Come in, you don't need to be so restrained, I spend more time with you than I do with my wife!", the Prime Minister joked, but it was not a joke.
He and his butler grew up together, and for a long time, about four or five years, he regarded the butler as his older brother.
It wasn't until he began to receive the family's elite education that he discovered that the housekeeper was not his brother, but his most reliable confidant.
He has never regarded the housekeeper as a servant, and the housekeeper performs his duties very well, and the two work well together.
Sometimes the housekeeper makes the Prime Minister feel very dogmatic and rigid. He always says this——
"You don't need to be so polite!"
"You don't need to be so cautious!"
"You do not need……"
But he is always so polite, so cautious, so...
In fact, the Prime Minister also knows that emotions are often momentary, just like late at night at this time, between exhaustion and various conflicts, he occasionally becomes more emotional.
But the housekeeper wouldn't take it seriously. If he really didn't even knock on the door or say hello when he entered the study, then it would be time for him to leave here.
"Tea and coffee, and some pastries. I asked the cook to try not to put too much honey."
The butler placed the things on Mr. Prime Minister's right hand side, then returned to stand against the wall.
"Thank you!", the Prime Minister thanked the other party, and even tried to invite, "Do you want a drink?"
The butler smiled and lowered his face, "I have already drank in the kitchen, sir."
The Prime Minister nodded and continued to look at the documents in front of him. The federal people really chose a very good time...
The Prime Minister thought as he watched.
Now the conflict between the aristocratic group 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.
The purpose of using the silver case as an excuse to purge a group of capitalists this time is to first purge some big capitalists who are attached to the royal family.
There is always a reason why the royal family has remained standing for so many years. No matter what kind of crisis it can survive, the Prime Minister and the nobles in the Privy Council do not dare to underestimate the royal family.
They won't take action so quickly, they will only peel off the strongest defense of the royal family bit by bit, exposing its most fragile inner parts, and then give it a fatal blow.
It sounds simple, but in fact this process is very long. The next two to three years will revolve around the struggle between the aristocratic group and the royal family.
If they have to devote their energy to fighting against the currency and trade alliance created by the federal people, it will inevitably delay the outcome of the battle between the aristocratic group and the royal family.
This kind of thing cannot be delayed. If it is delayed for too long, the royal family will gain the upper hand, and no one knows when the next war will break out.
If the Prime Minister wants to have a stable and stable regime when the war breaks out, it is best to end this "dispute" completely a few years before the war breaks out.
There is no energy or ability to fight against the federal people...
After putting down the document, the Prime Minister's face showed no expression. This may be some of the choices that every politician will encounter.
You have to make a choice, and then gain something and lose something. There is no "getting both". The best result is to not lose both sides.
He rubbed his eyes and looked up at the clock. More than an hour had passed since he picked up the file. Time passed so fast!
He picked up the slightly hot coffee and took a sip.
The housekeeper reboiled the coffee for him many times to ensure that the coffee in front of him was always at the right temperature and not cold.
I took a bite of the sweet pastry and was quickly overwhelmed by the burnt aroma.
He put down the document in his hand, sighed, and stood up holding on to the armrests of the chair.
The next day, after cabinet discussions, Gafra's diplomats stationed in the Bayler Federation received news from Gafra's own island.
There is not much content and can be divided into two parts.
The first part is "Don't make small moves", and the second part is "Join in". The island's intention is very obvious. They will not interfere, but they will not leave either.
No matter how you join in first, there may be opportunities to operate in the future, but now, don't do anything.
The diplomat has some understanding of what is happening on the island, but it is difficult for him to believe that the situation on the island has become so serious——
The Federation has begun to encircle territory in the international arena. The island does not say anything about stopping it, nor even the idea of confrontation. This is very difficult for diplomats to accept.
Sometimes, some things happen in just a moment. If we don't take action against this alliance now, we won't have another chance in the future.
Being in the Federation, diplomats know very well that the Federation's development in trade and technology has surpassed that of most countries in the world, and the international commodity society will only become more and more dependent on them.
When these countries are accustomed to using federal Sol for international trade, does Gaevra want to step in again?
Diplomats are very pessimistic about the results of this scenario. Obviously, they can do nothing, nothing!
This feeling is completely different from the feeling in previous years. He has been to many countries and served as ambassador or diplomatic liaison officer in these countries.
He witnessed with his own eyes an empire dominating the world. Everyone, including the emperors and presidents of those countries, must maintain a respectful attitude toward him.
Because he can decide the future of a country anytime, anywhere with a telegram, a phone call, or a handwritten letter.
At that time, he was glorious and he was bathed in the glory of Gefra.
But then, everything changed.
He clearly felt that Gaevra was getting worse day by day, and now it was difficult to even fight against him.
This feeling was heartbreaking, everything he loved was fading away.
This is not like winter, where the withering of winter can be replaced by the blooming of spring and summer!
The decline of a country will last forever!
The Gefra people did not raise any objections. Their transparent attitude made the first members of this small alliance keenly aware that an era was truly coming to an end.
If it were in the past, Gefra's diplomats would slam the table and threaten them. Whoever dared to work with the Federation would have Gefra's fleet stop on whose coastline to block their foreign trade.
Now, the diplomat just silently expressed no objection, and a certain shackles in people's hearts were slowly broken.
The new alliance issue began to advance slowly but orderly. Compared with this matter that many people are still unaware of, more people are still focusing on the silver case!
After a few days of plummeting, the price of silver has now returned to stability, around three and forty cents. It is actually much higher than the initial price.
It may be the people's expectations or perception of it. It is this price. After the state intervention burst the bubble of inflated silver prices, it finally returned to the essence of the market.
In the future for a long, long time, the price of silver will not have particularly obvious fluctuations, three to five years, or even longer.
Only after its price is fully understood by the market can it usher in new changes.
But no matter what, it can be regarded as making history.
History is in the past, but some things are not in the past yet!
