Make France Great Again

John Brown was overjoyed after receiving $50,000 in financial assistance from the French abolitionist "comrades", and he hurriedly sent someone to contact the French "comrades".

The "comrade" from France met John Brown on a farm in Kansas. After a brief exchange of information, John Brown learned that the other party was a republican from France. The reason why he was willing to support John Brown originated from his own love for republicanism.

The French "comrade" believes that the United States of America, which has republican ideas, should completely abolish slavery. Only in this way can the United States of America be truly called a republic.

"What you said is really good!" John Brown excitedly held the hand of the French "comrade", "Slavery should not exist in this sacred territory of the United States of America!"

Later, John Brown told the French "comrade" that his father was a staunch abolitionist, and his home was the transfer station of the "underground railway".

Under his influence, he himself became a staunch abolitionist.

In the fifty-seven years of John Brown, he has helped nearly a hundred blacks escape from the control of slave owners and head towards "freedom".

[ps: Black slaves who gained "freedom" found themselves facing discrimination from hundreds of people and the pressure of unemployment after escaping from slave states.

If they want to survive, they can only choose to do the work of some low-level people, and at the same time they have to endure the discrimination of white residents and the oppression of white police.

Such dreadful days are actually no different from what they lived in slave states.

The only difference is that they are nominally free. 】

John Brown had a proud expression on his face when he said this, and it could be seen that he himself very much recognized his behavior of "liberating" the slaves.

And John Brown firmly believes that he will definitely end this evil slavery one day in the future.

The French "comrade" patiently listened to what John Brown said. He shook hands with John Brown again and told him that he would support John Brown's action to overthrow slavery in the United States of America.

It's just that he himself is not a brave man like John Brown, so he can only choose to donate to John Brown to express his support for John Brown.

John Brown said with a smile on his face that the help provided by the French "comrades" has far exceeded the charge.

50,000 US dollars is enough for John Brown to expand the current number of people by 3-4 times. The United States of America under the economic crisis needs people who dare to fight for their lives.

After John Brown chatted with French "comrade" for a while, French "comrade" left the farm under John Brown's farewell.

When the French "comrades" got into the carriage, the "republican" mask that had been covering their real faces was completely torn off.

"I really don't know what the Paris side thinks!" the French "comrade" complained in a low voice.

In fact, he is not a republican, but a special agent affiliated to the US intelligence agency of the National Intelligence Service.

The reason why he chose to support John Brown was entirely due to instructions from Paris.

If Paris hadn't specifically ordered them to contact and support those who opposed slavery with practical actions, then he would never have contacted John Brown.

In his eyes, John Brown is a very ordinary person who opposes slavery.

Even if he declared an uprising, not many people would be willing to follow them.

Who makes the sky big and the earth big, Paris is the biggest!

…

Then again, the economic crisis in the United States of America has spread to Central America and South America after paralyzing the United States of America.

Perhaps it is because Central and South America is still in a state of initial industrialization, so their harm is not worth mentioning compared with the economic crisis in the United States of America itself.

Even so, South America as a whole contributed nearly one million unemployed people.

After the economic crisis turned the entire America upside down, he traveled across the ocean and headed towards Britain.

In early December, after the British Kingdom received the news of the economic crisis in the United States of America, the national bonds and stocks issued by the United States of America on the London Stock Exchange also began to plummet.

As a result, the assets of many banks investing in the United States of America began to shrink, and the most serious shrinkage was undoubtedly the Bank of England, Barings Bank, and the Rothschild Bank in the United Kingdom.

These three banks invested the most in the United States of America when they first invested.

After learning that banks in the United States of America have gone bankrupt on a large scale, the three banks no longer expect the United States of America to return to normal as soon as possible.

Therefore, the three banks tried to package the bonds in their hands into bonds that were relatively easy to sell (such as US treasury bonds), and fooled retail investors in Britain and Germany into buying them.

Although retail investors in Britain and Germany bought some, they also knew that American bonds and stocks were unreliable, so they didn't buy much.

The promissory notes and bonds related to the United States of America on the books of these three banks are basically all finished.

And their losses in the United States of America were as high as 10 million pounds (equivalent to 320 million), of which the Bank of England and the Rothschild Bank of the United Kingdom lost 2.5 million pounds and 3.5 million pounds respectively, and Barings Bank lost 4 million pounds. .

These three banks can be said to have smashed their heads in the United States of America.

Of course, these three banks are only the three banks with the highest investment losses, and other banks in the British Kingdom also suffered heavy losses.

After receiving news of the bankruptcy of their downstream American factories, many factories were also dragged into bankruptcy by the downstream factories because the backlog of industrial products in their hands could not find a suitable market.

Although Britain is not the source of the economic crisis, nearly 1,700 factories are still facing bankruptcy, and nearly 400,000 workers have been forced to lose their jobs.

Workers who have not yet faced unemployment are also living in anxiety, fearing that the next "graduation notice" will come to them.

To make matters worse, Britain is currently engaged in a protracted war with India, and every month the war drags on, hundreds of thousands of pounds of supplies will be consumed.

If this consumption continues, the economy of the Kingdom of Britain will become worse and worse.

Of course, the only thing worth celebrating is that the East India Company has finally fallen into the stage of bankruptcy and liquidation under the blow of this economic crisis.

No one in the two houses thinks that the East India Company can rise again. Even the major shareholders of the East India Company are waiting impatiently for the government to untangle themselves.

Benjamin Disraeli came to the House of Commons again, and he reiterated to everyone present his opinions on the government's handling of the East India Company.

The government is prepared to spend 3 million pounds to take over the bankrupt East India Company in its entirety.

As long as the House of Commons passes with a majority vote, the East India Company will completely become history.

In the end, the House of Commons passed the proposal to dismember the East India Company with an absolute majority.

As for how the 3 million pounds should be allocated, you should know without even thinking about it. Naturally, the rich and powerful eat meat, and the major shareholders of the East India Company (here refers to major shareholders who do not have a title, or whose title is not good for me) eat soup.

After being reaped by the East India Company, those poor retail investors have to pay for the wrong policies of the East India Company. It is really unlucky.

The moment the East India Company announced its dissolution in the House of Commons, the ruling power of the entire India was naturally handed over to Queen Victoria.

However, since Queen Victoria could not go to India to rule, Palmerston, then Prime Minister, "suggested" that Queen Victoria could order the cabinet to appoint a capable officer and give him the right of "vice king" of India.

The "deputy king" who stayed in India instead of Queen Victoria has the right to command the government and army of the entire Indian region.

This proposal was quickly adopted by Queen Victoria, and then passed to the Upper and Lower Houses for review, which also quickly passed.

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss the candidate for the "Deputy King".

After hearing the news, many generals in London tried to use their connections to win the post.

After two days of discussions, the cabinet decided to narrow the scope of candidates for the "deputy king" to the two points of serving soldiers and currently in India.

Most of the generals were excluded from the scope of the family, and only a few were left. Palmerston then excluded them based on three aspects: military merit, title and official position, and finally selected the Duke of Cambridge who was driving from Persia to India .

Whether in terms of official position, title, or military merit, the Duke of Cambridge perfectly meets the standards of India's "vice king".

However, the Duke of Cambridge has some minor flaws in terms of age.

Although the current Duke of Cambridge is over 40 years old, in the officialdom of the Kingdom of Britain, this age can be called young and promising.

After all, very few people can serve as the commander-in-chief of a region when they are in their 40s, and it is difficult for even nobles to be promoted.

The higher the official position of the army, the more pits there will be.

When the top has no intention of abdicating, it is difficult for the bottom to squeeze in.

Of course, such a small flaw does not affect the Duke of Cambridge's going to India as the "deputy king".

…

After the appointment of the "Deputy King" was confirmed, Palmerston once again ordered Benjamin Diestrey to go to the House of Commons ~www.NovelMTL.com~ to propose a proposal to the House of Commons.

The content of the proposal is: the cabinet hopes that Britain can allow the Indian government to issue (in fact, Britain issues, but in the name of India) Indian public bonds in Britain.

After the proposal was put forward, it immediately caused a wave of heated discussions.

Among them, there are those who agree with it and those who are against it. The members who agree with India's issuance of public bonds are nothing more than seeing that the war is still going on, and that India's issuance of public bonds can help the British army to raise military expenses.

The opposing side believes that Benjamin Disraeli tried to make India's fiscal revenue and expenditure opaque by issuing public bonds in India, so that British officials in India could operate in the dark.

Eventually the proposal to create an Indian bond in Britain was rejected by a relatively large majority

Benjamin Disraeli was not angry when he saw this. He knew that sooner or later these people in the House of Commons would agree to his plan to issue Indian government bonds.

Just like the dissolution of the East India Company before.
