Chapter 418 Buying warships?

Congressman Sanger had a calm face. He had seen through the true colors of these masters, and he...had finally become one of them.

When walking outside, others would also call him "Congressman Master".

So, everyone was the same... shameless.

"Anytime, does Congressman White want to buy a few boxes of Northern cigars?"

Damn old fox, Congressman White was complaining in his heart, fuck the cigars, is that what I want to ask?

He knew that in order to stand out from the grass, in addition to that little bit of luck, his personal ability was definitely not bad.

You can say that Sanger is rude and mean, but you can never say that he has no brains.

Obviously, he has noticed his intentions.

This is not something that needs to be concealed, politics is dirty.

The Northern Principality is a good retreat, of course, this is the last choice.

Now, it is just an excellent weapon.

Congressman White had a smile on his face, and he was sincere beyond words: "Such a good cigar, I also want to collect a few boxes.

Of course, I am very curious about everything in the Northern Principality, especially you, my good brother.

The mysterious and powerful Earl of the Northern Principality, the Colonial Governor, I really want to meet him, and even invite him to the Lionheart Kingdom to take a look."

Huh!

The smoke ring gradually dissipated in the air.

Sanger did not answer him immediately, but thought for a while.

He knew that he was not a very smart person, but he knew how to fight for his own interests.

When he was still an ordinary sailor, he thought about owning his own ship.

After marrying the old captain's 200-pound daughter, he had his own ship, and then he wanted to become a congressman.

After taking risks to go to the Northern Principality several times, he took the opportunity to bribe a large number of congressmen, and finally got the title of congressman, the kind of person who could only serve one term.

Then he took advantage of his position to grab the talents of the Northern Principality, political speculation, opening factories, and forming private troops.

Then he became the real power in the local parliament. Many people looked down on him, but they had to respect him.

Since then, he has become one of the rulers.

The next step... is it to continue to climb up and climb to the House of Commons?

No, even if he becomes a member of the House of Commons or even the Speaker, what's the matter?

Without enough support from powerful people, it is just an empty title.

In fact, many local powerful people live better than the masters of the House of Commons.

Moreover, he has seen through this country, which is corrupt and old-fashioned. His background is destined to have a limited upper limit.

The only way out is to continuously strengthen his own power and become a local tiger.

Since there is no further political demand, what's the point of Duke Harrington.

When you beg you, you are the duke. If there is nothing to beg you, you are just a pile of shit.

Therefore, you have to help Congressman White, and taking root in the local area is your future.

But that big brother is also unreliable!

Sanger was not completely corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets. It is true that he envied and yearned for the Northern Principality, but he also knew his skin color.

Not my kind, this is a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages.

So, you have to show your value.

Sanger has a clear position for himself, that is, a middleman who eats from both ends.

In order not to be used and kicked away, you must show more value.

Thinking of this, he adjusted his sitting posture slightly, sat up straight and said: "It's okay to ask Governor Jeffreys to come, but he is a big man with a noble status. He is usually very busy, so we need to find a good excuse."

"What do you mean?" Senator White had a bad premonition.

"The local fleet has just successfully tested the ironclad ship. The research and development of the new model, launching it into the water, and then mass production, I am afraid it will take three to five years, but the pressure from the local area is getting greater and greater. How long can we hold on?" Senator Sanger has almost made it clear.

"Do you mean to buy warships from the Northern Principality?" Senator White frowned and thought, he really hadn't thought about this question.

They had studied the history of the rise of the Northern Principality before. It took only ten years from sailing ships to ironclad ships of the 10,000-degree level.

Now that they have obtained a full set of information and technicians, they optimistically thought that they could catch up in five years.

Then... it took nearly three years to make a thousand-secret ironclad ship, so it's better to dream about a ten-thousand-secret warship.

Before this thorny issue could be discussed, people from the mainland came.

Now that it has been raised by Senator Sanger, it is a solution.

It is better to buy than to build, and let's become stronger first.

"It's true that I got a lot of information back from the Northern Principality, but the specific details still need to be studied by scholars.

But those idiots in the country can't even make a piece of military armored steel, and the artillery is even reduced from the local version. I privately asked the technicians from the north, and it will take at least twenty years to catch up with them.

Can we wait for twenty years?

To buy warships from the Northern Principality, they will at most ask us for a little money, but the mainland wants our entire industry!" Senator Sanger was heartbroken, but he was also talking about a realistic problem.

Senator White's face was uncertain. Of course, he could see that Senator Sanger had selfish motives, but this problem did exist.

Besides, if we want to use the Northern Principality to check and balance the mainland, how can we be stingy?

Using money to buy the future, this deal is not a loss.

"I need to discuss this with everyone. You know this matter has a great impact, so you must consider it carefully." Councillor White promised.

"As soon as possible, I'm afraid you can't hold on.

And the warships bought are also of reference value. "Congressman Sanger urged.

He thought it was worthwhile to take everyone's money and sell his own favor.

This kind of thing is not easy to make a big fuss. After returning, Congressman White immediately convened a group of powerful congressmen to discuss. Faced with pressure from the local area, they agreed quickly.

After all, one is to pay money, and the other is to pay for their own assets. They can still distinguish which is more important.

The parliament rarely showed extremely high efficiency. Soon a letter of authorization was handed to Congressman Sanger, asking him to set off quickly and invite the governor first.

Of course, this time he was not the only envoy.

Realizing that being an envoy to the Northern Principality was not a dangerous job, how could such a good thing be monopolized by Sanger.

Many people also wanted to replace his position and gain benefits in commercial trade.

In the end, Congressman Joey from the naval fleet grabbed this opportunity. After all, in name, he wanted to buy warships for the fleet.

Sanger set off immediately, and the first step was a greeting letter, informing the big brother in advance that the younger brother would come to visit, and come to visit with the money of the sucker.

So... rip off the guests.
