BXBX NOVEL Chapter 152: lost heavily
But if the Germans use the profits made by the German Welfare Lottery Company to develop armaments as an excuse, it will undoubtedly be able to block the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company in various countries. Then replace it with a domestic company, or the government directly participates in the operation. In this way, a considerable income can be obtained. Whether this income is used for armament construction or other aspects, it is a good supplement to the finances.
"Your Excellency, Mr. Churchill, this suggestion is really great! The wealth that the German Welfare Lottery Company plunders from the UK every year is tens of millions of pounds. If we can obtain this part of the wealth, our financial pressure will be reduced a lot ’” Lloyd George, the chancellor of the exchequer, was the first to jump out in support.
Secretary of the Navy McKenna followed suit, because he knew that if the government obtained this wealth, it would most likely be used to build warships for the navy. Although the United Kingdom is rich and powerful, the navy\'s military expenditures are not lacking. But no one will think too much money!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we must not just stand by and watch the Germans use our money to build warships and then attack us! This is a crime against the entire British people. We must close all the business of the German Welfare Lottery in the UK! "McKenna also shouted.
"However, if we do this, I am afraid that the relationship between us and Germany will further deteriorate!" Prime Minister Asquith was a little worried.
"Your Excellency, the conflict between us and the Germans is already very acute. To put it bluntly, we are even on the verge of going to war with the Germans. Under such circumstances, we don\'t need to think about it at all. The attitude of the Germans has changed. As long as it is determined to be beneficial to the British Empire and can help the interests of the British Empire, even if it offends the Germans, we should do it!" said Sir Edward Gray, Foreign Secretary.
Other ministers also expressed their support for blocking the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company in the UK.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we must not only block the business of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the UK, France and Russia, but also notify them. If possible, contact the US government and let the US government also block the Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the United States In this case, the profits of the German Welfare Lottery will be greatly affected. The support they can provide to the German Navy will be much smaller. It is delusional to surpass us!" Churchill continued.
"Your Excellency Churchill\'s suggestion is really great! Without sufficient financial support, the development of the German navy will inevitably be greatly affected. It is wishful thinking to compete with the Royal Navy." McKenna All smiles.
"Well, let\'s do this! Churchill, the business of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the UK is handed over to you. We not only want to seize the business of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery in the UK, but more importantly, we want to get this part of the profits It will do. Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, France and Russia will be notified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The United States should also lobby them as much as possible. I think the huge profits of the German Welfare Lottery must also make those greedy Americans You should be very jealous." Prime Minister Asquith said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Both Churchill and Sir Edward Gray replied.
"Your Excellency, cutting off the development funds of the German Navy is just a way. The most important thing is still the development of the Royal Navy itself. Only when we become stronger, can we not be afraid of the German challenge at all!" Churchill Said.
Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "All the profits we get from the welfare lottery will be invested in the construction of the navy. The Royal Navy must become the world\'s number one navy in the next few years. Any other country , don’t even think about challenging the British Empire in this regard!”
In June 1910, the governments of Britain, France and Russia announced almost at the same time that the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company in their territory was illegal and should be seized!
For a while, the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company in Britain, France and Russia was all stopped. At the same time, all funds that have not yet been transferred in the banks of the three countries have also been frozen. What\'s more, the British and French markets have always been one of the main markets of the German Welfare Lottery. Losing these two markets now will inevitably cause Deutsche Welfare Lottery to lose nearly one-third of its profits. This is definitely a heavy blow to the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company.
"Your Highness, what should we do now? The heads of our branches in Britain, France and Russia have been arrested. The company has been sealed up and the bank accounts have been frozen." Carl von Jona, President of Deutsche Industries AG Wright looked nervous.
Although the Deutsche Industries Group has developed into a large consortium, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company is still the most profitable company in the consortium. The loss of markets in three countries is undoubtedly a heavy loss for the Deutsche Welfare Lottery.
"In our business activities in Britain, France and Russia, there is no tax evasion, right?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Highness, absolutely not. Our business is extremely enviable. In order to avoid being caught by others, we have always operated with integrity, and there will be absolutely no tax evasion." Carl von Jona Wright assured.
"Damn it, from this point of view. The governments of Britain, France and Russia are clearly targeting me." Qin Tian couldn\'t help but cursed. Although, he has known for a long time that the governments of Britain, France and Russia will not let it go once they find out that the German Welfare Lottery Company is quickly plundering their wealth. But I still didn\'t expect that their response would be so fast and decisive, so much of the wealth of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company was too late to transfer, resulting in heavy losses.
