Chapter 2068 Infiltration Plan 2 - Blatant
Surveillance of important national figures, once exposed; will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan himself. It may even cause a chain reaction; you must know that the British Empire is not a soft persimmon, what else can Bao, the richest man, not dare to do!
Of course, asking the KGB for help and diverting the trouble to others is another matter. The old Russians are used to the fact that debts are not a burden; in short, anything that involves Britain's bad things, it is absolutely right to push it to the Soviet Union!
Bao Zixuan made an appointment with Blair, and the Iron Lady got the news immediately; as the British Prime Minister, there are really not many things that can be hidden from her in her own territory!
Bao Zixuan's status and position naturally need not be elaborated too much. Blair, a newcomer in the political arena; has long been in the Iron Lady's focus!
Although the British Prime Minister has little power after leaving office, his influence is still not to be underestimated; in many public occasions, he still needs to come forward to stand on the platform.
At the same time, he also has a pivotal position within each political party; even if he does not continue to hold an important position, there is no problem in becoming an advisor!
Blair's upward momentum in recent years has been very obvious, and even threatened the Iron Lady; that is, during the war, otherwise Britain really does not know who will be in power!
The Iron Lady sneered and said: "Bao Zixuan is paving the way for the future. Hong Kong people know how to invest in advance; it seems that what he said is true!"
"In fact, I know that I can't hold the position of Prime Minister for a long time; it is normal to be alienated."
"Be in your position and do your job; you must let this kid pay a little practical thing, otherwise I will not be reconciled!"
About the content of the conversation between the Iron Lady and the secretary, Bao Shoufu knew everything an hour later.
It is said that it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain, and the ancients did not lie; she is still not quiet when she is about to leave office. Does she think she is easy to bully?
The Iron Lady is also an action person, and she came directly to the Queen's residence; some things must be reported to the Queen, otherwise she really dare not make a decision directly!
The Queen had absolute trust in the Iron Lady's ability to govern at first; it was precisely because of the iron-fisted approach that she implemented economic reforms; the results were remarkable in the early days of her administration, and the economy developed rapidly!
However, success or failure is only a moment, and the Falklands War is the Iron Lady's famous war; if nothing unexpected happens, she will be the best-reputed prime minister of the British Empire after World War II, and there is no other!
The appearance of Bao Zixuan, who continued to support Argentina in various ways, made Argentina confident and able to continue to fight against Britain.
At present, the Second Falklands War has not ended yet, and it seems to be a long way off; the British Empire is in a very difficult situation. It is indeed a bit unfair to put all the blame on the Iron Lady; but who made her the British Prime Minister, she can only take the blame!
Not only the people, but also the royal family and the nobles have complaints about the Iron Lady. The Queen knows the general situation and will not say anything on the surface; but if she hears too much, she will inevitably be upset!
After a series of court etiquette, the Iron Lady thought for a while and said, "If there is no other way, I dare not come to disturb Your Majesty!"
The words were not said in full, but the meaning was expressed very clearly; it is a difficult thing to say, it depends on whether the Queen agrees!
The Queen smiled and said: "Margaret; as long as it is beneficial to the British Empire, the royal family has an obligation. Don't have any concerns, speak boldly!"
The things that can make the Prime Minister of the British Empire, who has always been decisive and ruthless, difficult to say must be no small; but at this moment, the royal family has no other choice; they can only cooperate with all their strength. Otherwise, they will lose the support of the people, and it will be more difficult to end it!
The things proposed are naturally beneficial to Britain, but they require the royal family to make sacrifices and concessions. But the Queen has said that as long as it is beneficial to the British Empire; the royal family will cooperate with all their strength!
To be precise, this sentence is what is needed, otherwise I can make the decision myself!
The Iron Lady thought for a moment and said, "The domestic economy is in a continuous downturn. As the Prime Minister, I have an unshirkable responsibility!"
"It's just that it's not the time to pursue responsibility yet. The key is to ensure the front-line military expenditure and the supply of ammunition!"
"Funds are very tight, so we need to borrow from some foreign banks; after all, the domestic bank's capital reserves are not so sufficient!"
To borrow from foreign banks, you also need their consent; you can't just rob them.
Besides, this is not the colonial era, and Britain is in the period when the sun never sets; if you really dare to take action against foreign banks, other countries' officials will definitely not sit idly by!
The war on the front line is not going well, and it is offending other countries; then the situation of the British Empire will only become more difficult!
The Queen thought for a while and said, "Foreign banks will agree to lend money, after all, the current situation of the empire"
Many things can be stopped at the right time, and it is not necessary to express the meaning completely!
The Iron Lady was prepared for this, and immediately said, "Other banks may not agree, but the major banks in Hong Kong should not refuse!"
At present, Hong Kong is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, which is clearly a sheep that can be fleeced!
Seeing the Queen's interest, the Iron Lady continued to add: "The major banks in Hong Kong may make certain concessions, but the British Empire must also show sincerity; otherwise, even if the other party agrees, the Chinese mainland will not remain indifferent!"
Britain's sincerity may be the purpose of the Iron Lady's trip!
The Queen understood it immediately and grasped the key to the matter; so she said without hesitation: "If you need the royal family to do something, just tell me!"
"When the country is in trouble, the royal family will make any sacrifices!"
The opportunity is rare and will never come back. The Queen has already agreed. We must do it in one step. The longer we delay, the more variables there will be!
The Iron Lady said very seriously: "There are not many companies that can be sold in the empire at present. There are not many that can be used as collateral and that Hong Kong bankers cannot refuse. They are basically in the hands of the royal family and the nobility!"
"Therefore, we want the royal family to take the lead and use Buckingham Palace as collateral to borrow 5-10 billion US dollars from Black Cloud Bank. At the same time, other palaces or well-known buildings can also be mortgaged to major banks in Hong Kong for loans!"
Buckingham Palace is the main residence and office of the British monarch in London. It is one of the venues for British national celebrations and royal welcome ceremonies, and it is also an important tourist attraction. The history of the palace can be traced back to 1703. It was built by John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham. After centuries of expansion and renovation, it has gradually become a building that combines luxury and solemnity.
Buckingham Palace is not only the official residence of the British royal family, but also bears an important national symbolic function. The Queen's important state affairs, such as summoning the Prime Minister and ministers, receiving and entertaining visiting foreign heads of state or government, and accepting foreign envoys to submit credentials, are all held here. There are more than 600 rooms in the palace, including ceremony halls, concert halls, banquet halls and galleries, and many precious works of art and cultural relics are collected. In addition, the gardens and landscapes of Buckingham Palace are also very beautiful, including rose gardens, lakes and fountains.
The value of itself is about 2 billion US dollars, plus the collection of cultural relics inside the palace; the overall valuation will never exceed 5 billion US dollars.
The conventional operation of using collateral to borrow from banks is 30% off; not only no discount, but also want a premium; even if the value of Buckingham Palace is high, it also means to pit Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Bank!
After the loan expires, given the current situation of the British Empire; the probability of not being able to pay it back is very high. At that time, Bao Zixuan dared to let people forcibly take over the house, which clearly showed that he did not take the British royal family seriously; the meaning of freeloading was too obvious!
Sometimes, I have to admire the Iron Lady for using Buckingham Palace as collateral. It is not only very courageous, but also a blatant conspiracy!
If Black Cloud Bank directly refuses, then Bao Zixuan does not take the British royal family seriously. If he does not give face, his future development in the UK will not be difficult, but it will definitely not be too smooth!
The royal family is willing to use Buckingham Palace as collateral, which can be said to be full of sincerity. If they do not want to save the British Empire from the water and fire, they will definitely be criticized!
At the same time, the British royal family will also brush a wave of traffic. When the country is in trouble, the royal family is willing to pay everything, and the support rate will increase significantly. It is absolutely a foregone conclusion!
As for other banks in Hong Kong, seeing that Black Cloud Bank took the lead, even Bao Zixuan made compromises and concessions, where would they insist.
Even if the loan expires, they will find a way to extend it; if they force the house to be taken, it depends on whether the body is strong enough!
The Queen knows very well that if there is no other way, the Iron Lady will not resort to this last resort.
Once the loan contract is signed, the royal family will instantly become an international joke. The entire British Empire will be discussed!
However, the frontline urgently needs military funds and must not lose to the Argentines; this is the bottom line!
