"If you disband, just disband..." Tang Ning commented weakly.

Sissi: "The Governor of the Straits Colony said that now is a great time to fully control the East India Company. He suggested you buy stocks from panic-selling shareholders, so that you can vote more than 50% on the East India Company Board."

Tangning has been acquiring the stock of East India Company, which is in a dire way. Isn’t it the day you are waiting for? However, he is in a very poor state now and seems to have lost interest in controlling East India Company. He has not responded to this piece of information for a long time and is struggling in silence.

The East India Company now has two options. One is bankruptcy stop loss. Because India is the most important colony, the British Empire will never sit idly by and watch India lose control, so it will definitely take over. The other is that the shareholders will snatch the front teeth and pay for this big rebellion. They can only fill in huge amounts of funds. The East India Company is now financially bankrupt. Originally, letting the British government take over was the only option, but now the army in the Straits colony has shown strong combat power and seems to be able to replace the British army in India's military affairs, so it has become the second possible choice in the eyes of major shareholders.

The President of the Victoria Bank in Australia, Rollinson and the Smith family of Nottingham Bank are both shareholders of East India Company. They are used to making a fortune with Downing. At this time, only Downing is the leader and does whatever the boss wants. Anyway, the money they make is enough to make up for the losses of East India Company's stock. The key now lies in whether Downing has the ambition to control India. Although this place is important, it does not make money. A qualified investor such as Rothschild and others will definitely abandon it, but those with political ambitions are exceptions. Downing is likely to have political ambitions.

What else does the East India Company have? A huge population of nearly 300 million, tens of thousands of British troops and the glory of the British Empire, the strategic geographical location of the Far East and South Asia. These have been in Downing's mind for a long time, but because he has never made any statement, Reuters is now addicted to being the governor and wants to go further and constantly use India's political status to lure Downing to acquire the East India Company. When calls come from every few days, Downing's bedside was full of Reuters' persuasion statements.

Tang Ning was not cured of illness, and he had no energy to consider these major events. He was really bored by Reuters. Well, let's buy it. He said to the "rich personal princess secretary": "Call that young man."

Princess Secretary: "Which young man?"

Downing: "J.P. Morgan." Now, this young man is one of his many assistants. J.P. is an assistant in the financial direction. If it costs a lot of money, he naturally has to make plans and let J.P. make a decision. Downing himself has no energy.

How much does it cost to spend at one time? For example, this time I want to buy India.

Buying Luxembourg can be considered a small buy to enjoy, buying Alaska is already a big buy to harm your health, buying India... This is a big deal, and a world-renowned business will be destroyed? Can the big tycoons who are already carrying out two world-class projects of the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal at the same time still stand the torture?

Downing is now the largest single shareholder of the East India Company. He can hold more than 50% of the shares by buying stocks from Rothschild or the Scottish Bankers Group and gain a firm ally. Because the Indian colonies have a very high political status, this transaction is not just a transaction, but the attitude of the British government and parliament is also very important. Britain cannot give up all of India's power. It is a bit embarrassing here. These two giants will not get any benefits if they offend one. They can't buy them all.

Seeing the possibility of a big tycoon taking over the East India Company, some small retail investors still hold the stocks that are worthless and keep speaking out to support Tangning in their hands. In their opinion, this is a redistribution of wealth. The Windsor chaebol has made enough money. Now that the East India Company is in trouble, why don’t the Lord Lord save the trouble? If the government takes over directly, the small investors will be miserable. How much money can the government give? Under the democratic system, the government is always thrifty and frugal, and it would be strange if it could use taxpayers’ money to give.

Originally, Downing's plan was just to negotiate with the British government to take down the Straits colony, but the current British atmosphere seemed to indicate the possibility of him taking over the entire India. Although the matter of governing India is glorious, it is not in line with Downing's interests. Because India is too big and complicated, and does not have a sense of belonging like the Qing Dynasty, Downing was basically unwilling to govern there. After all, a national independence movement rose. All efforts were wasted and it was too harmful.

J.P. represented Downing to contact the British government and expressed his intention to only collect Straits colonies, which cost much less. The news came out that the East India Company's stock plummeted again.

After this plunge, finally, the prices offered by Rothschild and the Scottish Bankers Group could buy all of Downing without being wiped out, but he still dragged on and waited for the government to issue political conditions.

To be honest, the only reason for letting Tangning take over the entire India is to implement reliable benevolent government and improve the lives and civilization of the people of the subcontinent. This place is really not easy to make money. There are too many people and too many gods, but there are not many unruly people, but there are a lot of evil gods.

The main political conditions of Palmezun are as follows: First, the Queen of England ascended the throne as the Indian Emperor and became the nominal head of India; Second, the Indian Court of Final Appeal was in the House of Lords of the United Kingdom. Third, the Indian colonies were obliged to participate in the global military operations of the British Empire, such as: it is likely to launch military operations against the Qing Dynasty recently. Fourth, to ensure the freedom of missionary preaching of Christianity in India, the general atheism that Downing planned to implement in Luxembourg will naturally not be implemented.

None of the first three is a problem. It is unacceptable to protecting Christianity. He only agreed to change India's religious policy to "not support nor crack down on the three major religions, including Christianity, and respect the religious freedom of the people with tradition and secular principles. However, major affairs must not be interfered with by religious forces. The other two major religions refer to Hinduism and Islam, which are widely circulated in India."

What is "major affairs"? This detail is very important. As for this matter, Downing handed over to Marx and Engels to lead the consultation with the British government. These two are very excited. In the future, they may be able to implement a certain degree of public ownership.

Tangning still felt quite uncomfortable about the full acquisition of the East India Company. This seemed to be the first time to do a loss-making business. However, this matter has a completely different meaning to the Kingdom of Prussia. Damn, I dare to joke about the small country and the few people of Luxembourg. The grand duke might have to take charge of India. The open war with Luxembourg is equivalent to going to war with India. You have 20 million people in Prussia, right? Our India has 300 million...

Besides, if you want to fight against India, you may not be able to fight tens of thousands of British troops in the East India Company. The Queen is also the head of India. After fighting, there are so many people in Britain. It is estimated that Congress will promote the British Empire to participate in the war, so Prussia will be hung up. Bismarck likes to play balance the most and hopes to get along with the left and right. Russia to the east, France to the west, and Britain to the north, don't interfere with the unification of Germany, otherwise it will be extremely difficult. No matter how stupid William IV is, he feels that the power of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg is growing, and it is a bad move to oppose the Grand Duke, and it is a bad move, and he can't help but feel very depressed.

Morgan and Sissi were the same year, less than 20 years old. They played a very outstanding talent in this full acquisition of East India Company. They made a well-founded move and retreat. Finally, they reached an agreement with Rothschild and the Scottish Bankers Group and completed the most important step. With the support of big giants, small retail investors, and the support of shareholders such as Rollinson and Smith, the government also had the support of Wood, the chairman of the Indian Control Committee, the cabinet-level figure. Prime Minister Bamazun was not very disgusted with the entry of Grand Prince Windsor into India. The loyalty and combat effectiveness of the Hessen Hunter Corps performed well in the fight against the rebellion, and the situation seemed to be becoming clearer.

The Satsuma mercenaries in Takamori Saigo had been confronting the Prussian army far away, and only a small number of firefights occurred. They found that the Prussians were all rifled guns, which was inconsistent with the original information. They thought that 300 people could block the other side's 2,500 people. He quickly adjusted his strategy and 1,000 soldiers were gathered together to protect himself. It would be quite difficult to destroy the other side's total army as planned. Fortunately, the Prussian king has been watching the situation in India, and has not even officially announced the declaration of war, and both sides still have room for maneuver.

Tangning also approved the defensive posture of Xixiang. He still had to clean up the mess in India. It took less than a year or two to deal with this matter, so he still made a little economic sanctions and began to reduce the export of industrial products to Prussia on a large scale. The most severe blow to Prussia was the surge in steel and aluminum prices, which had a great impact on Prussia's heavy industry. The Prussian government asked Krupp, have you mastered the steelmaking technology? Why are the steel prices in Prussia so much more expensive than those in the surrounding France, Belgium and the Netherlands?

The Krupp people told the government: "Are you sure you want to break up with the Grand Duke of Luxembourg? In this way, we can ignore the agreement reached and expand the scale of production. Otherwise, we will breach the contract. Before our army withdraws from Luxembourg, all production will be determined by the Grand Duke."

When France was sanctioned by economic sanctions, Prussia's economic development data was obviously better than that of this major industrial neighbor. At that time, the Prussian government was ecstatic. Now the feng shui took turns to "enjoy" this kind of treatment. The king was depressed again. What about breaking? Or not breaking? This is a painful problem.

Bismarck told the king that he led the technical exchange agreement between Krupp and Downing. If Prussia did not withdraw from Luxembourg, it would be equivalent to Bismarck deceiving Grand Duke Windsor. I could not continue to do such an unjust name and could only "retire and return home."

The current situation in India is mostly caused by the bad things from Governor Dalhousie sent by the British government, which is equivalent to the government's fault. Now, the East India Company wants to reorganize its power structure and regain the highest executive power. It is reasonable that India will become a colony with relatively large autonomy in the future, but it is still within the territory of the British Empire, and Congress has begun to debate.

The focus of the debate is on religious issues. Members and forces of parliamentarians still tend to be the dominant position of Christian Protestantism. The Labor Party led by Engels is an atheist faction, and the views of both sides are very fierce. Engels satirized Christianity. According to its doctrine, all 300 million pagans in India will go to hell after their death. How terrible is it? Can we still rule India with this "truth"? The society is in chaos. It can be seen that Christianity is not much better than Hinduism and Islam. Don't blame others for rebelling on the grounds of opposing butter and lard paper shells. Christianity itself is unreasonable. Why is God more true than God and more godly than the true God of others?

People from Tangning found some photos of the "Rat God Temple" and took them to the parliament to show them to the parliament. This is a kind of worship of rats in India. The entire temple is full of disgusting rats, but they are not allowed to be killed because of ignorance. Rats and humans are both mammals. Once the plague breaks out, this is a terrible source of disaster. Similarly, there are worships of various animals. Snake gods, bird gods, tiger gods, monkey gods, elephant gods, tree gods, mountain gods, water gods. There are hundreds of other gods. Each god imposes a completely absurd imprisonment on the people in various spirits and ways of life. Religious superstition is a symbol of ignorance and backwardness. A simple preaching is boring. When the parliamentarians see the large group of mice, feel this backwardness.

Not long after, Tang Ning collected a lot of "good things" again. It was a scene where Indians were cruelly tortured moral criminals under the guidance of religion. A MP said "wow" and his colleagues around him hurriedly avoided it in disgust.

Tang Ning's master came up with a big move. If he had nothing to do, he would mail "good things" to the homes of the MPs who love to engage in religious superstition every few days to see what the logic of you ignorant superstitious elements would be.
