1239 Either Break Out or Perish
The little earl's expression was a little subtle. When Lynch asked him when the nobles planned to take action, his hands subconsciously folded together and pressed on his knees.
He still had an expression on his face that said, "I'm not even fucking embarrassed to say it." Then he separated his hands and placed them on both sides of his body uncomfortably. He looked a little embarrassed.
Lynch looked at him, and he finally had to briefly say something about what happened here.
"There are still some unresolved issues at the Privy Council. I heard that it will be started in the first quarter of next year, but some people say it will be started in the first month of next year, and some people say it will be started on the first day. I am not very sure. clear."
Mr. Trueman couldn't get more detailed information. Lynch didn't think it was surprising. He was not in intelligence work and didn't know much about many more inside things.
The young earl himself is a noble and a relatively important member. He knows what is going on here better than Mr. Trueman and the federal agents.
Lynch was a little surprised, "Is there anything I don't know?"
The little earl smiled and said, "You don't need me to tell you, you will know it soon!"
The news of Lynch's arrival in Gaevra soon spread among some thoughtful people. When he arrived in the imperial capital, the emerging nobles had already held a grand ball to welcome him!
It was precisely because of Lynch's suggestion that they took all their property to avoid the island, which had no living space, and went to the Amelia area where the nobles were not so willing to go to develop. In just two years, they saved up Amazing wealth!
The nobles themselves have certain privileges, and as they become richer at this time, these people have vaguely gathered together and become a new group.
This description is a bit complicated. They are not connected through a secret society, but a business group.
We usually discuss together what business to make money faster, or discuss how to enjoy the rich material life that money brings.
These were things they didn't have before. If they had been rich from the beginning, they wouldn't have risked everything to go to Amelia with Lynch.
People always carry hatred for past dissatisfaction, and when they have the ability to take revenge, they will never stop.
Spending may be the revenge of poverty. The ball they held for Lynch was very grand, and many famous actors, models and other famous people were invited.
People revolve around wealth and power, flowers, liquor, and beauties!
The ball was held at the little count's manor. Lynch was here early in the morning. It was still some time before the ball officially started. Lynch, the little count, and some other nobles gathered in a room.
There are many rooms in the castle, and only the housekeeper knows which room is used for what purpose.
They found a room and sat down. The servants brought fragrant scented tea, as well as some other drinks and various pastries and fruits.
People were sitting around Lynch, and the eyes of those young nobles were full of adoration!
Like the little earl, they had an almost unreserved trust and admiration for Lynch. The older ones were slightly better, but there was still some.
“…the value of the World Development Council is to provide us with more trade opportunities!”
Lynch was sitting among the people, and everyone's minds were firmly tied to his words and affected by his every move.
What he is talking to everyone now is the value of the World Development Council to them.
In Lynch's eyes, these new generation aristocrats actually have the lowest recognition of this country, the aristocratic group, and the lowest loyalty to the country!
They are not like the old nobles in the Privy Council. Those old nobles are survivors who have settled down after the baptism of time.
Their family history is actually the history of the Gaevra Dynasty. They have accompanied Gaevra, an empire that once created glory, from birth to today. In a sense, they, like the royal family, are part of the Gaevra Empire. The master!
So they will have a sense of belonging, and they will think that they are part of the Gefra Empire, an inseparable part.
But the new generation of nobles is different. They do not have a long history and have become nobles for various reasons. They have no sense of participation in the construction of the country.
What's even more frightening is that because the division of noble power on this island has been completely ended hundreds of years ago, the island can no longer accommodate the new generation of nobles to take root here, which has also triggered conflicts between the new generation of nobles and the old nobles. .
You can't just give them knighthoods and not care whether they live or die, right?
Yes, that's what they did. Most of these new generation nobles are poor, and they may not even be able to spend money to hold balls.
They can only share a small amount of profits from businessmen in humble industries. If they want to touch those hugely profitable industries, there will be big nobles waiting to deal with them!
How could they have a sense of belonging to this country under such circumstances?
Of course not!
They recognize the reality better than anyone else. When they have no money, anyone can laugh at them.
When they got money, the great nobles in the Privy Council looked at them seriously.
It was Lynch who allowed them to be treated equally.
People's attention is focused on Lynch's voice, and they firmly believe that Lynch's analysis will be correct, just like it has been done countless times before!
"...We can tap the trade potential internally through this organization. Sometimes products that are already backward for us have become advanced commodities in some countries."
"We need to dig out these ourselves. Twenty-four countries. Gentlemen, excluding Gefra and the Federation, we still have twenty-two countries as sales markets."
"Even if our sales in each country can only account for a very small part, this is still an amazing wealth!"
"And we can also, through the World Development Council, build a trade barrier that protects ourselves while isolating ourselves from the outside world."
"Just like our embargo list this time, we can also ask other member states to ban the import of certain things from outside the member states, but import them from us in certain ways!"
"Whether it's export or import, as long as we control the World Development Council, we have complete control over the trade markets of twenty-four countries!"
"More importantly, from today's perspective, the number of member countries of this trade alliance will be more and more, and our market will be bigger and bigger!"
"Money will naturally be earned more and more!"
There was a certain sparkle in the little earl's eyes, as did almost everyone. They had gradually understood why the Federation was committed to promoting the World Development Council.
The little earl picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine. He had just grown up and could already drink alcoholic beverages.
In fact, nobles may secretly drink alcohol when they are very young, but no one will criticize them. After all, they are nobles, and the Gefra Empire belongs to them. Who will speak against them for such a trivial matter?
After drinking some wine and calming down his mood, the young earl asked something he cared about, "Mr. Lynch, the conflict between the Federation and Pengeo has shown us that the world is not as peaceful as we have seen, and it will inevitably be so in the future." The outbreak of war!"
He said with certainty, "If war breaks out, when do you think it will be?"
This issue has also aroused the concern of many nobles. Their vision is still somewhat worse than that of the old nobles, and some of them are still "lucky people".
In layman's terms, they are the jesters of the past. They were made nobles by pleasing the emperor or the royal family. They were not sensitive enough to politics and lacked a sense of the overall situation.
In recent times, Gafra has sold out a lot of interests for the tripartite peace talks. Some voices in the country believe that the current Prime Minister's team is selling out the country's interests for some ulterior purposes.
And all this is to try to prevent war from breaking out.
It is precisely because of these problems that people have to think about a question: Is war still far away?
Lynch thought seriously for a while, "No more than five years!"
The little earl asked in a funny way, "Why do you have such a judgment?"
This is completely an attitude of asking for advice. This attitude will make people very happy, and it will also make people want to express their ideas!
Lynch looked around at the nobles sitting or standing around him. He did not give a direct answer, but gave them a question to think about.
"Whether it's the Federation or Gefra, every year we invest a lot of money in researching new war equipment."
"Some new equipment has just been produced and has made new breakthroughs in technology."
"It has been more than six years since the end of the war. During these six years, each of our countries has experienced a change of clothes."
"Judging from today's view, these new military equipment that have just been replaced have been eliminated by us."
"We have spent too much money on armaments, and the military budget has seriously occupied more of the national finance!"
"Everything is preparing for war that is coming at some point. The longer the peace lasts, the greater the damage will be to the finances of each country."
“More and more power and funds are invested in military use after our enemies announce new equipment one after another. In the end, there is no money to spend where money is needed. We cannot stop the financial system while it is distorted. "
"What should we do at this time?"
Lynch looked at the others, everyone's expressions were very serious.
In fact, the conflict between the Gefra noble group and the royal family also has a certain relationship with financial issues, but it is not so obvious.
The issue Lynch mentioned also made people start to think about the situation that Gaevra encountered at this time.
In order to catch up with the Federals in terms of military equipment, it is said that 65% of this year's fiscal budget will be allocated to various military projects!
If...these inputs do not play their due role...
What will happen to this country?
