The Return of the King chapter 043

Mainz's layout in North America is very simple. Through the hands of Goldman Sachs, it acquires potential domestic companies in Eagle Sauce, thereby sucking as much blood as possible into the economic development of Eagle Sauce, and only part of the proceeds they receive is retained for them. In addition to its own development, the rest will be secretly remitted to the European headquarters through the channels of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank to support domestic undertakings.

In order to better manage business in North America, Mainz retained future Economic Minister Walter Funk, and based on the information he found from the system, he compiled information about emerging industries and potential companies in North America. The list was written down and left to him to slowly operate.

After dealing with matters in North America, Mainz and others began to return home.

However, at this time, the mainland of Hans was subject to a naval blockade by the Sun Never Sets and the Gallic Allied Forces, and it was impossible to return directly to the country. Therefore, they chose the mainland of Sun Never Set as a transit point, arriving at Sun Never Set before heading to Hans.

In September, after wandering on the sea for more than half a month, the group finally arrived at the homeland of The Sun Never Sets.

After arriving on the mainland where the sun never sets, Mainz learned a piece of news.

Scapa Flow, where the High Seas Fleet scuttled, will be open to the public in a week. Originally, Scapa Flow, as an important base of the Royal Navy, was not open to the public, but this time it is said that it was because of a proposal from a member of the House of Commons. And the opportunity gained.

The reason why this member of the House of Commons named Chamberlain made this proposal was that he believed that since the Empire spent countless manpower and material resources to win this war with great difficulty, it must be seen by the citizens.

The results of their victory, and the Second Reich High Seas Fleet that sank in Spaka Bay is the best witness.

As long as the people see the wreckage of these huge steel monsters after they sank, they will realize that the Japanese What a great war victory the Bu Luo Empire achieved!

Naturally, the House of Commons had no objections to this proposal, and the House of Lords quickly approved the proposal. After all, the war had brought too much losses to the Empire on which the sun never sets, and casualties were secondary. The key was economic development and The consumption of national power was unprecedentedly huge, and the morale of the people was also greatly affected by this war.

Before the start of the First World War, people generally believed that their country was the world's hegemon. They had won all wars except the Eagle War of Independence, whether it was the arrogant Napoleonic Empire or the so-called European Gendarmerie. Tsarist Russia, not to mention the Windmill people and the Salted Duck people earlier!

Since the sun never sets as the world's hegemon, the people are confident in their country, and everyone believes that this war will be easily won without the sun setting!

In the end, the sun never set did win the final victory, but it was definitely not easy. The war lasted for four years, and the national treasury was almost drained. In order to raise war funds, they had to go to North America to beg North America. Help them issue war bonds!

This kind of thing is simply a shame for the proud world hegemon!

In the four years of war, even though the Sun Never Sets Empire went all out and even brought in troops from overseas colonies, it was unable to gain any advantage on the battlefield.

The war that they thought would be easy to win turned into a war of attrition and a stalemate. If the red-necked hawks, whom they despised, had not come to join the war, they might not have been able to win this war!

When they think of this, the people of The Sun Never Set feel even more frustrated, and their confidence in their motherland has dropped a lot.

This kind of social atmosphere is not a good thing for a government where the sun never sets. If the citizens lose their confidence as a world hegemon, then their hegemonic status may be gone very quickly!

Therefore, Councilor Chamberlain's proposal can be considered to be in line with the government's expectations at this time.

I just hope that people will be really inspired after seeing the wreckage of the High Seas Fleet, otherwise, their work will be in vain!

Colonel Mainz didn't know whether Congressman Chamberlain's suggestion could improve the confidence of the people, and he didn't care. What he was more concerned about was whether he could participate in this opening ceremony!

"Hans?"

The person at the application office stared at Mainz's face carefully, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Well, Hansians, come and pay homage to those innocent sailors who died!"

Unafraid of the opponent's provocative gaze, Mainz looked directly into the opponent's eyes and said in a calm but firm tone.

When the High Seas Fleet was scuttling, in order to prevent the actions of the German sailors, the British army suppressed the German army.

After the suppression, Nine sailors were shot to death by the British army and more than a hundred were injured.

Rear Admiral Reuter of the High Seas Fleet is still imprisoned in a prison where the sun never sets.

Mainz said he came to pay his respects.

, the sun never sets, people will naturally feel uncomfortable.

After all, people who have done something wrong will feel very unconfident in their hearts.

"Humph, just wait!"

The reviewer glared at Mainz, then left quickly and reported the matter to his superiors.

Obviously, after the Hans were involved, the nature of the matter had changed. After all, it was very important to the citizens of this country and Opening up to foreigners has a completely different meaning. Opening the Royal Navy's military base in Spaka Bay to foreigners may reveal the secrets of the Royal Navy.

Mainz is waiting patiently, if it cannot pay homage as a Hans citizen. If so , then he can only spend some money to get a fake identity and sneak over as a man who never sets on the sun.

Of course, if possible, the colonel would naturally want to go there openly as a soldier of Hans!

The information was quickly reported to Congressman Chamberlain who initiated the proposal. After hearing the news, Chamberlain was a little surprised. He did not expect that Hans's soldiers would come to apply.

"How about simply rejecting it, then the navy won't be dissatisfied!"

Another congressman saw Chamberlain's embarrassment, so he spoke.

Chamberlain frowned. He felt that if he rejected the other party because he was afraid of leaking secrets, it would be a bit ungenerous, and this guy just arrived. We wanted to visit the military port instead of visiting the Royal Navy's fleet. There were many people in the German army who had seen the Royal Navy's home fleet during the Battle of Jutland, and even took a lot of photos. If we were to say leaks, in fact The secret had already been leaked!

However, he still couldn't make the decision, so he asked Navy Minister Qiujier for his opinion.
