Chapter 825 A good woman is worth cherishing
The impact of the economic crisis on the Lion City is not serious. The UK's blood-drawing style of killing the goose and extracting the eggs is the fundamental reason for the decline of the Lion City.
Since the outbreak of the economic crisis, the United Kingdom has failed to follow Russia's example of using infrastructure investment to stimulate economic recovery. Instead, it has introduced a new shipbuilding plan, breaking the "Naval Holiday Era" since the Washington Naval Conference.
After the Washington Naval Conference, countries stopped building new capital ships, the shadow of war was finally dispelled, media from various countries cheered, and the world entered the "holiday era."
We cannot blame the UK for not learning from Russia. The UK is too small, its economy started relatively early, and its infrastructure is relatively complete. These original advantages have turned into disadvantages for the UK in the context of the economic crisis.
France, which has a similar background to Britain, did not advance actively after finalizing the "Maginot Line" plan.
After the outbreak of the economic crisis, France increased investment in the "Maginot Line" and became a new economic growth point.
The UK cannot build a line of defense along the English Channel.
That would probably have to be done in a circle around the UK.
Since Australia joined the Free Trade Alliance, its relationship with the Grand Duchy of Yuriev has developed rapidly. Industrial products produced in Russia have poured into Australia through the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, which not only effectively filled the market gap after the departure of British goods, but also made Australians Truly enjoy the efficiency and convenience brought by technological advancement.
Australia also provides a new market for the Russian economy. Not only does the Russian government increase investment in Australia, but Russian companies also flock to Australia to inject vitality into the Australian economy.
During the British rule, there was only plunder and little construction in Australia.
Yuriev was the first to start investing in Australian mineral resources.
Yusupov is not slow either, making frequent moves in Northern Austria and Queensland, focusing on investing in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Although Dolgorukov came late, he did not fall behind. He focused on investing in ports and shipping industries from the beginning. The wool you sheared from the mines dug by Yuriev and Yusupov still had to be used by Dolgorukov. The Koffs ship out.
Romanov was gloomy and gloomy. The last leader of the family, Nicholas Jr., was seriously ill and did not have much time left.
The Romanov family is indeed resistant. Little Nicholas spent his whole life living in debauchery, and after he fell ill, he did not strictly cooperate with the doctor for treatment. At the beginning, the doctor said that little Nicholas only had three months left at most, and it was medical knowledge that he could survive until now. A miracle.
When George went to visit little Nicholas, little Nicholas was lying on the hospital bed emaciated, his consciousness was blurred, and he might pass away at any time.
Anastasia gave George a letter written by Nicholas when he was awake. In the letter, Nicholas asked George to protect Romanov and not let the Romanov lineage be cut off in Russia.
George did not stay in the hospital for long, and little Nicholas died that night.
Although George also has "Romanov" in his name, he can only be regarded as half of the Romanov family.
Nicholas the Younger was the last Romanov Grand Duke of the Russian Empire.
Polis flew to Alexandria urgently, Leonid suspended negotiations with Deutsche Bank, and even Alexandra, who had not appeared in Yuriev Palace for a long time, accompanied George.
"You all have no work to do?"
George was indeed in a bad mood, but not to the point of being heartbroken.
The dead are gone, but the living remain the same, and the sun will rise normally tomorrow.
"Deutsche Bank's demands are becoming more and more excessive, and suspending negotiations can allow us all to calm down."
Leonid is presiding over a plan to aid Germany, which needs Russia's help to deal with the financial risks caused by forcibly divesting the Hebrew consortium.
"Beware of raising tigers to risk——"
Polis was worried that the rise of Germany would affect the status of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the Russian system.
Although all member states in the Free Trade Alliance have equal status, the UK insists on calling the Free Trade Alliance the "Russian system" and slanders other member states as Russian colonies.
George can only say that summer insects cannot speak of ice.
Britain only plundered the colonies, and there was never a win-win situation.
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia is indeed in a weak position in trade with Russia, but based on Russia's strong deterrence, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia can squeeze out more funds for economic construction. The achievements of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in education and medical care in recent years fully prove that freedom Advantages of a Grand Trade Union over the Commonwealth System.
Germany's scientific research strength is also very strong. Once Germany is fully integrated into the Free Trade Alliance, the current structure of the Free Trade Alliance will be broken. If the Kingdom of Yugoslavia wants to attract outstanding scientific researchers from Germany, it will have to pay a greater price.
As for competition caused by German goods, that is what Russia has to worry about.
"Shh - keep your voice down, be careful not to let mom hear this."
The person Alexandra fears most now is Anne.
"That bastard Carol broke his oath, and Croatia will become a time bomb sooner or later."
Polis immediately changed the subject.
Carol promised the three regents before the coup that she would end her relationship with her lover Elena.
After Carol ascended the throne, not only did she not sever her relationship with Elena, but she took Elena to Romania. Queen Helen was heartbroken and angrily returned to Greece with the young King Michael. Georgi had recalled the Greek ambassador to Romania Ambassador, relations between the two countries have seriously deteriorated.
All this is nothing in Carol's eyes. Carol not only plans to marry Elena, but also builds a palace for Elena on the outskirts of Bucharest in the name of her mother, Princess Victoria.
The queen could just leave on her own and take the young king with her. This gave Greece an excuse to intervene in Romania. Georgi had already ordered partial mobilization to prepare for war.
If a war breaks out between the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Romania, it will be very difficult for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia caught in the middle.
Russia, the boss, can't control his younger brother, which will also be embarrassing.
In the past few days, the diplomats of the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Greece in Russia are taking active actions, hoping to receive support from Russia. Mannerheim also rushed to Bucharest to warn Carroll face to face not to intensify the conflict with the Kingdom of Greece.
“This is the choice of the Romanians themselves!”
Alexandra has no sense of helping others at all, and watching the fun is not a big deal.
If Carol really marries Elena, the Greek royal family will be disgraced and become a laughing stock. Georgi will definitely seek justice for his niece and grandnephew.
If Carol does not marry Elena, and Michael is the crown prince of Romania, there is still room for mediation in this matter.
Carol was going to die sooner or later.
George looked at Alexandra and secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, Alexandra had good eyesight and did not jump into this fire pit.
Ferdinand proposed to Alexandra for Carol, but Alexandra did not fall in love with Carol, and the matter fell through.
But if Alexandra accepted Carol's proposal, there wouldn't be so many troubles.
Now George finally understands why the rich and powerful are keen on marriage. It doesn't matter if the relationship is not good, everyone can do their own thing.
Although George didn't like Carol before, it wasn't to the point of being annoying. Although everyone praised love, not everyone could love beauty but not country.
As for elopements, they were not a big deal in the imperial era, and more extreme ones were commonplace.
After Carroll's coup, his only personality was shattered and his true face was exposed.
Letting such a man become king is indeed a time bomb.
However, this time bomb is objectively beneficial to Russia.
If George is darker, it would be better if Carol becomes angry and resentful, which will be more beneficial to Russia.
But this is not a good thing for Romanians.
While George's family was gossiping, Mannerheim was fully demonstrating the majesty of the Balkan leader in Bucharest.
For the Balkan countries, Russia's majesty cannot be violated. No matter what the Kingdom of Romania does, it must first obtain Russia's consent.
Russia indeed has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Romania.
But Russia will never allow any country to undermine peace in the Balkans.
"The relationship between Helen and I has completely broken down and we can no longer live together -"
Carol defends his behavior and hopes that the relationship between him and Elena will be recognized by Russia.
"No, your relationship cannot be broken!"
Mannerheim looked at Carol with an undisguised look of disgust.
The "can't" here fully demonstrates Russia's attitude.
"But we have never been together since our honeymoon. Even Russia cannot interfere with my freedom of marriage."
Carol was extremely angry. If marriage was not free, what was the point of being a king?
Think about the love between Ya Er and Catherine, the uncrowned tsar of Russia, why can't we have empathy.
"It is true that Russia will not interfere with your freedom of marriage, but Russia can decide who will be the King of Romania."
Mannerheim is just trying to show off, don’t think that you can do whatever you want by actively sending benefits to Russia.
The biggest difference between George and Carroll is that George has a bottom line.
"This is ridiculous. Even Russia cannot grossly interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Romania."
Carol's face was full of horror, it was his worst fear.
"Love or king, your choice!"
Mannerheim talked about democracy and let Carroll choose.
Carol's face was full of confusion, he wanted it all.
Even Mannerheim didn't expect that a turning point would happen to Elena.
After Elena learned about Mannerheim's attitude, she voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become the Queen of Romania and was willing to continue to be with Carol without any explanation.
"Don't worry, sooner or later I will let you wear that crown -"
Carol promised affectionately that such a good woman should be cherished.
Elena is Hebrew.
