Chapter 726 The British’s Big Trouble (33 More)

March 17, 1929, 10 Downing Street, London, the famous residence of the British Prime Minister.

British Prime Minister Baldwin looked solemn at this time, and the people sitting next to Baldwin were all important ministers of the British cabinet.

"Everyone, tell me, how should we deal with the United States?" Prime Minister Baldwin said solemnly.

The so-called handling is not the division of the United States, but the handling of the chaos that has just broken out in New York.

Yes, New York is in chaos again.

The population of New York State exceeds 12 million, and New York's population is second only to London, making it the second largest city in the world in the eyes of the great powers.

In the eyes of the British, getting New York State is a big bargain, but if you understand the situation in the United States, it is clear that the British have also picked up a huge trouble.

If the chaos in the United States is racial conflict, ethnic disputes, and class contradictions, then as the largest and most prosperous city in the United States, New York has perfectly inherited these shortcomings, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a chaotic little America.

As a prosperous international metropolis, New York gathers hundreds of thousands of urban white-collar workers, who are also the majority of New York's population and occupations.

At the same time, New York is also occupied by some American consortiums, and a large number of companies and factories have considerable assets in New York.

In addition, New York naturally attracted a large number of refugees and lower-class people, which made the actual situation in New York much worse than imagined.

If the headache before was the US government, then now it is naturally replaced by the British government.

What's more terrible is that because of the previous Washington tragedy, the American people are extremely opposed to armed suppression.

Although armed suppression is a way, if the British really adopt it, it will be more difficult to establish a country that obeys them in the United States.

At the same time, the large number of blacks on the East Coast of the United States is also a trouble. If these blacks are not accepted, how to deal with them is a problem.

But if these blacks are accepted, the contradictions between blacks and whites will cause huge cracks in the country to be established on the East Coast.

But the British can't deal with blacks like Australasia. There are fewer blacks in the western region occupied by Australasia, after all, the total population is not large.

It's easy to deal with a small number of people, and it won't cause too much conflict if they are sent to other areas at will.

But the East Coast is different. There are millions of black people in the areas controlled by Britain, and there is no suitable area for these black people to migrate.

Moreover, these black people are definitely unwilling to return to Africa. After all, compared with the comfortable climate and prosperous East Coast of the United States, the hot and desolate Africa is simply not a place for people to stay.

In addition to the trouble of black people, the major financial groups on the East Coast of the United States and immigrants from various ethnic groups in Europe are huge problems.

The reason why American financial groups can control American politics is that in addition to the huge financial resources between the financial groups, the financial groups also control a large number of American companies and indirectly control a large number of American workers.

If the financial groups are not guarded against or even controlled, these financial groups will be a huge challenge for the country to be established.

Of course, there are also a large number of workers on the East Coast. The working class is also a considerable force and may also affect the situation on the East Coast of the United States.

What has such a chaotic situation created?

Of course, it has created a large parade that European and American people love to see.

If you are on the streets of New York, you can see many people marching. Of course, in these parades, the slogans and purposes of each team's parade are inconsistent, and the specific participants are naturally inconsistent.

Each group's parade is related to its own interests, and the slogans displayed are also varied.

Most white people require the British government to take care of their rights, restore the order of factories and enterprises, protect their jobs, etc.

Black people require Britain to distribute relief food to them, and at the same time guarantee their political status in the new country in the future, and ensure that black people are also legal citizens of the country.

In addition to guaranteeing jobs, workers' demands also include raising workers' wages and reducing the current high food prices in the United States.

Speaking of food prices in the United States, they have been rising since the outbreak of the war and have risen to a very terrifying number.

Coupled with the sharp depreciation of the US dollar after the demise of the United States, the US food prices are almost uncontrollable, except for some areas under military control.

In addition to these parades, some vested interest groups also require the British government to open the exchange channel between the pound and the US dollar and temporarily guarantee the value of the US dollar.

The US dollar system was established by the United States, and it will naturally collapse after the demise of the United States.

The worst is naturally those American people and companies who hold a large amount of deposits. The US dollars in their hands have instantly become waste paper, which is a huge blow to American people and companies.

Although the US dollar can theoretically be exchanged for pounds, no one is willing to exchange their pounds for US dollars now.

The future of the US dollar is also a question worth thinking about. This not only concerns the practical interests of a large number of American companies and people, but also whether the US economic crisis can be alleviated.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think we should temporarily protect the value of the US dollar until the pound completely replaces the US dollar." The Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up first and said: "This is also conducive to the promotion of the pound. Our currency will become a truly global currency."

Prime Minister Baldwin nodded and said, "Has the Ministry of Finance calculated how much money is needed to do this?"

Although it is a good thing to convert all the dollars popular on the East Coast into pounds, it also requires a large amount of pounds to convert.

"It is impossible to calculate at all." The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked embarrassed and said more bluntly: "The East Coast is the core area of ​​the United States. If all the dollars are replaced with pounds, the amount of pounds required cannot be calculated at all, and it may even reach a number that we can't imagine."

Prime Minister Baldwin gritted his teeth with a headache, and finally said: "Then let's temporarily guarantee the value of the dollar. Send a notice to all areas on the East Coast. We will guarantee the value of the dollar and let them feel at ease.

Hurry up and contact Australasia. The establishment of the country should be in preparation. The troubles of the United States should be solved by the Americans themselves."

"Australasia has been contacted. They said that they are preparing for the World Aircraft Expo and will not start the establishment of a new country until May." The Foreign Minister stood up and answered.

"Damn it!" Prime Minister Baldwin cursed in his heart, but his expression did not change much.

The World Aircraft Expo is obviously just an excuse. Australasia, where the work is easier, obviously does not want to unite with the British. This also means that the British must face various problems on the east coast alone.

"Don't they have to prepare for the election of the king?" Prime Minister Baldwin asked somewhat depressedly.

Seeing the strange expressions of the cabinet, Prime Minister Baldwin realized how funny his question was.

According to the discussion between Britain and Australasia, the two countries in North America are basically kingdoms.

Of course, such a kingdom title is not recognized much in Europe. It can only be said that Britain and Australasia are entertaining themselves.

But after all, they are two kingdoms, with a small population of millions and a large population of tens of millions, and their comprehensive strength can definitely reach the third-rate level in Europe.

Australasia will definitely give priority to Arthur's two sons, rather than selecting a king across Europe like Britain.

The reason for this completely different situation is actually the difference in royal power between Britain and Australasia.

In Britain, royal power and prime ministerial power are actually in a confrontational relationship. The Prime Minister is the most powerful person in the UK, so naturally he will be wary of the king who holds the royal power.

This also means that the two kingdoms that the UK is going to establish are destined to not be all members of the British royal family, because this is equivalent to Prime Minister Baldwin cultivating competitors for the Prime Minister's power.

The Australasia side is much simpler. Arthur holds a lot of power, and the government has no power to oppose it, and will not oppose it at all.

To be honest, based on Arthur's reputation in Australasia, the people will definitely choose to support Arthur between Arthur and the Prime Minister without a brain.

For trivial matters like choosing a king, the people will definitely be more willing to see Arthur's son become the king of the new country.

As for the opinions of the Americans, they can actually be ignored. After all, the two countries in Australasia have relatively small populations, and the difficulty of operation is naturally much lower.

With a slight change of expression, Prime Minister Baldwin quickly recovered and instructed the Foreign Minister: "Tell Australasia that establishing a kingdom in the United States requires the joint efforts of both of us. After the World Aircraft Expo, before May, relevant work must have made some progress."

Before May is the latest time that Prime Minister Baldwin can accept. Because in May of this year, the United Kingdom will start a new round of general elections, which will also determine whether Prime Minister Baldwin can be successfully re-elected.

Although defeating the United States is great good news, during Prime Minister Baldwin's term, there have also been large-scale demonstrations by workers and the impact of the economic crisis.

At present, there are still a large number of unemployed people in the UK, which is likely to affect Prime Minister Baldwin's votes.

After all, Prime Minister Baldwin's opponent is not ordinary. His opponent, that is, the one who succeeded Baldwin as Prime Minister this year in history, is the previous Prime Minister, MacDonald, the leader of the British Labour Party.

If the situation is not handled properly and the public is dissatisfied, Prime Minister Baldwin may have to bid farewell to the Prime Minister's throne again. He can only watch his competitors take his place and make comments on the policies he has formulated, or even completely deny them.
