Chapter 173: The Eastern Continent Company is established, and the steam-powered ironclad fleet [3/5 automatic subscription required].
White Jade Palace.
In the court of the throne, the last time so many people gathered here was when Ulysses officially established the state and was crowned, but today, Ulysses, the emperor of the empire, sits on the throne.
On either side sat King Ector of the Kingdom of Timesia, and Sophia, Queen of the Kingdom of Villani’s Golden Feather.
For today’s consensus meeting, Sophia took some time to catch the train from Salamandis City, Blue Ocean City, and arrived at the scene.
In addition, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Chiljalong, Kanginal, was also invited today.
When Conguinal saw the conference room, not only the emperor Ulysses was present, but also the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, and so on.
His heart tightened slightly, and such a large formation made his heart tense up.
However, Ulysses did not let Conguinal be so nervous for too long, he smiled slightly and took the initiative to say the purpose of today.
“Ambassador Kanginal, I heard that your country has recently sent more than five hundred students at once.”
“It seems that Your Majesty and your ministers are very interested in everything in our Prussian Empire.”
Conguinal nodded hastily, looking respectful.
“Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, there are too many things for us to learn from all sides of your country, and our Majesty and all the adults are very anxious, so we have sent a lot of students to study abroad at one time, and please do not be surprised by Your Majesty.”
Ulysses shook his head.
“Of course, we don’t care about this kind of small thing, but now our two countries have good trade relations and are very good at diplomacy with each other, and we don’t mind this kind of exchange of international students.”
“But… Don’t know if your country has any interest in making a bigger deal with us? ”
Congelnale looked confused and did not understand what Ulysses meant.
And when Ulysses had the documents ready, 167 handed them to Congelnaal.
When the other party saw the plan of the above cooperation project, the whole person inhaled the cool air in horror.
“This….. Your Majesty, is it true that what you said above about the joint venture factory in Chierjialong is true? Can even steel mills do it? ”
Ulysses smiled and nodded.
“In the future, there will be a lot of investment industries under the Eastern Continent Company, and these investments are in the Holy East Continent, so we need allies in the Holy East Continent.”
“Your Majesty is a wise monarch, and relations between our two countries are good, so it is not known whether this Eastern Continent Company has the idea of joining your country.”
“Of course, we don’t insist on it, and if your country can’t see it, we can find something else…”
“We do!”
Almost before Ulysses could finish speaking, Conguinal made a hasty statement. But after saying that, it was a bit embarrassing to scratch his head.
“This, personally, I am very willing, but Your Majesty you also know that this matter is really too big, and I need to report to our Majesty and wait for His Majesty’s personal decision.”
Ulysses nodded.
“This is natural, but recently our three countries have been preparing to form a huge maritime team to go to the Kingdom of Chirjalong for some early commercial activities.”
“If Your Majesty is willing to bless our future business in the Holy East Continent and join the company as one of the shareholders of the East Continent Company, it will be sufficient to sign a contract at that time.”
“This is not a small matter, once your country chooses to join the Eastern Continent Company, it is not only necessary to provide sufficient support for the company, but also how much shares your country can obtain in the company depends on how much protection your country can give.”
“Ambassador Kanginal, there are some things you must report clearly to Your Majesty, and this is a great benefit.”
“Just our first initial investment was five billion luks, and there were seven large ironworks planned, not to mention any other canning mills, textile mills and so on.”
“This year’s dividend is more than your country’s annual tax revenue, and more importantly, if your majesty’s royal family shares in the shares, this money belongs to the royal family in the legal sense…”
Ulysses looked solemn, but there was a strong smell of seduction in his voice.
Sure enough, when Conguinal heard about the huge benefits involved, the whole person could not remain calm. A dividend for one shareholder seat alone is a country’s annual tax revenue!
This kind of fanciful words, coming out of Ulysses’ mouth, made Corninal feel that the other party was not only saying this without any exaggeration.
And there is also the reserved modesty of the words. Those who looked solemn immediately nodded.
“Your Majesty rest assured, I will report this matter carefully to Your Majesty!”
Conguinal hurried down to get ready.
He was preparing to return home in person this time, and the trade fleet that had sent the students here last time had been loaded with goods from the Pruik Empire and was ready to return home.
Not long after he returned to his mansion, several White Jade Palace guards came to the door in person, carrying two huge wooden boxes, and found Kanginal.
“Ambassador Kanginal, here are the preliminary regulations for the Eastern Continent Company, as well as the shareholding mechanisms and project plans of some companies, and the Father of the Nation said that with these ambassadors it should be possible to better report to Your Majesty.”
Hearing this, Kanginal hurried forward to open the wooden box, and a neatly bound page appeared in front of him. After a rough turn, Kanginar looked a little sluggish and sent away several guards.
Looking at the two hundred documents in front of him, Congelnale was stupid.
Originally, he thought that the Eastern Continent Company proposed by Ulysses was only a temporary idea, and whether it would be successful or not would depend on the opinion of the side of the Kingdom of Chirjalon.
But when he saw these plans, he understood instantly. He valued the Kingdom of Chirgaron too seriously.
The Eastern Continent Company did not have the Kingdom of Chiljalong, and could look for other countries to join.
For example, the huge religious state to their west, the Holy State of St. Antines.
This one project after another, even their pope, can never be ignored.
And Ulysses is willing to be able to give the Kingdom of Chilgaron a choice, exactly as he said, for the sake of good relations between the two countries….
“Your Majesty, whether the kingdom can step on a higher height depends on whether you can seize the opportunity this time!”
On the other side, just after Conguinal left.
Ulysses and Ektor, as well as Sophia, came to Ulysses’ study. While drinking tea with each other, they talked about some things about the East Continent Company.
Early maintenance and deterrence of the Holy Eastern Continent, including the proportion of the fleet of the Kingdom of Chirgaron, the size of the command personnel, and the size of the war authority.
Crazy distribution of shares and interests.
Ulysses was able to consult with them simply because the three countries, as countries of the Holy West Continent, naturally had the basis for an alliance.
Whether it is in the war of the Holy West Continent or in the future on the board of directors of the East Continent Company. All three sides are undoubtedly natural allies.
“The first fleet sent definitely needs to have a strong military combat effectiveness, and even if necessary, I think we need to deliberately show our muscles in the Holy East Continent.”
“The Villani Golden Feather Navy is idle, and I can divide up half of the power, almost sixty warships, ten thousand naval soldiers who can use muskets.”
Sophia sipped black tea and said lightly.
That indifferent tone seemed to be indifferent to how much casualties would be caused by the display of muscles in her mouth. Let the king of the Kingdom of Timesia, Ecto, on the side, look slightly sideways.
Worthy of being the woman Ulysses looked up to, it is no wonder that she became the first female monarch in this world. When it was time to be bold, it was really no worse than these male monarchs.
Ector looked at Ulysses and groaned.
“The Timisia Navy has limited power, and I can send all the navies out at once, but… In the future, the coastal defense of Timisia will need the protection of the Prussian Empire. ”
As soon as these words came out, Sophia couldn’t help but take a deep look at Ekto.
This father of the stupid woman of Jegilina is really just like Ulysses said, and his brain is very useful. Sending all the navies to join the Eastern Continent Company’s armed fleet would naturally have more benefits in itself. On the other hand, however, the coastal defense of the country was handed over to Ulysses without reservation.
It is both a sign of submission and a gesture of goodwill. I don’t have anything to lose at all.
Ulysses also smiled lightly, did not comment on this, and looked at the eyes of the two people who looked over.
The two were curious about what power Ulysses, the obvious majority shareholder of the East Continent Company in the future, would wield. Ulysses did not mean to ink, and placed a document with a black-and-white picture in front of the two men.
“The Eastern Continent Peacekeeping Fleet… Did you set up another fleet for this company?! ”
Sophia’s voice was tinged with shock.
Ulysses smiled lightly: “It doesn’t matter, this fleet was originally intended to be the Second Fleet of the Western Ocean, and it was temporarily restructured.” Divide. ”
Ectoy looked at the document in his hand, and the corners of his eyes could not help but twitch.
“Eight steam-powered ironclads?! Are you sure you didn’t split up from other fleets?! ”
“Your Majesty Ulysses, I have always been curious, where is the shipyard where your Pruuk Empire built these warships?!”
