Chapter 64 Rebuke
In the royal palace of Lumang, the current King Charles II sat with the cabinet members and listened to Elizabeth's temporary homework.
This is a small reception room. The king and the prime minister are sitting on single sofas facing each other. On the middle row of sofas are the speakers of the two houses and a thin old gentleman. He wears a monocle and holds his hands.
It contains Elizabeth's opinions on handling the counterfeit banknote case.
"Your Highness, is this your personal conclusion?"
The girl standing in a group of big shots had no intention of cheating, and then said: "No, Sir Jim, I did this with the help of a group of my friends."
Finance Minister Jim nodded and said with appreciation: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, has already surpassed most of your peers in understanding that the gold pound is a credit currency. These opinions are good, but I have a better way.
"
"Oh, Mr. Jim, is there any better way?"
The Minister of Finance stood up, cleared his throat, and said: "First of all, this matter must be sponsored by the economic investigation team under the financial department. The special operations department is only here to assist, so as to ensure that the financial department's
Face, of course, is not just a matter of face. This can help offset the impact of counterfeit money."
It also preserves your position, right? Use the credit of others to make up for your own mistakes?
Elizabeth complained inwardly.
"What about the credit of the special operations department?"
"Well, their functions cannot be made public anyway. We can give internal rewards. Of course, apart from these, I think the two chambers can discuss your proposal on increasing legislation, Your Highness the Princess."
Speaker of the House of Commons, Lord Ode, shook his head: "It is a bit difficult to control color-changing ink. After all, if some ceramics and textiles now have color-changing luster, the price will rise a lot."
Prime Minister Benjamin continued to speak: "Then let's control the use of banknotes. Governments around the world can agree on this. An agreement can be reached on strictly controlling the use of banknotes in various countries."
Finance Minister Jim asked: "What about issuing an announcement in the name of the cabinet? Notifying the entire case and the handling plan."
"Let's take the Ministry of Finance. By the way, Mr. Jim, if there is such a big mistake next time and you don't discover it in time, I think Earl Benjamin's cabinet can consider looking for a new minister of finance. As for you, the back of the parliament
The platoon may need to add a new one."
The leader of the Conservative Party, the Duke of Battleford, is merciless. He is still a member of his own party, but making such a big mistake cannot be solved by just fooling around. After all, the opposition party and the royal family cannot keep their mouths shut.
, in his opinion, it would be difficult to fool Princess Elizabeth standing in front of her.
"This was my mistake and we will definitely deal with it."
Jim wiped his sweat and was kicked from the cabinet to the backbench of the House of Commons. His political life was gone. Originally, the backbench members were members of various parties who were either facing retirement or had just been elected. He was still in his fifties.
I'm so old, but I don't want to go to the back row to raise my hands and drink tea.
"Then let's deal with it like this. By the way, Sir Cumming is not here, so I will try to get some benefits for his men. This year, I will prepare a copy of the Kingdom's Distinguished Service Medal for a few people handling the case. I can't let them suffer too much. After all, it is
A sharp blade composed of a group of extraordinary beings."
King Charles made the decision, and when Elizabeth heard this, she knew that she would most likely be able to go out for fun.
The Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom of Leaf, Drake, whose pseudonym is Arden, is sitting in a conference room. Today he was called to attend the Ministry of National Defense procurement bidding meeting.
“Leif Kingdom Reserve Training Weapons Procurement Tender.”
Looking at the materials in front of him, Drake now knew under what name the November Party members used to purchase weapons. Before he came to participate in the bidding this time, he received a message from the tavern owner.
"His Royal Highness said that only one of the companies participating in the bidding this time is really here to bid with you. The others are fake shell companies created by the November Party. No matter how low their price is, you have to be lower than them.
, Anyway, even if there is a little loss on the books, it doesn’t matter, the bulk of the business does not go into the Ministry of National Defense’s finances.”
Recalling his boss's words, Drake shook his head. This matter should be handed over to Josefa better.
There were five men sitting in the room, all holding their own company certificates and quotations. Three of them looked absent-minded and seemed to have no hope.
"That's it, right? Then your opponent is the bald middle-aged man across from you?"
The middle-aged man opposite was also looking at him. He was wearing a black woolen coat, a brown vest underneath, and a golden breastplate hanging on his left chest. On it was a symbol of a long sword and a shield.
"We are the Sword and Shield Weapons Export Company of the Kingdom of Luke. This is the senior manager Yuri."
The manager named Yuri handed over a business card. The paper was thick and printed with exquisite patterns.
"Ah, here, I forgot my business card. My name is Aden, from Bruguet, Classical Literature Import and Export Trading Company."
Drake has never thought of printing business cards. This is something that Hood, the big lover on his ship, likes to do. He always brings business cards with different fake identities, and as soon as he docks, he goes to socialites to distribute his business cards.
"Oh? It's actually a business friend from across the sea, with the name Classical Literature? Does the founder of your company like literature very much?"
Listening to Yuri's words, Derek could only smile awkwardly.
"This is where a partner gets his name."
This is not a lie. When I registered the company in Bruguet, I casually replaced the name of the Classical Literature Society. Of course, the export trade goods were definitely not bullets and guns, only scrap metal and agricultural equipment. The name of the Ministry of National Defense
The Novemberists ignored this and arranged themselves in anyway.
"Okay, then I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"That's natural. Our company would like to purchase some breech-loading rifled guns. I wonder if your company can provide them."
Drake didn't lie. In addition to expanding his fleet, he also wanted to replace all the bronze cannons on the ship.
"This? Artillery is strictly controlled, unless it is like the Kingdom of Lifu, where a national government goes out to purchase it."
It's not that simple, but there is still hope.
After a while, an officer in a brown military uniform walked in, holding five tenders in his hand. Drake looked at the epaulette, two silver stars, a lieutenant colonel?
"You are all here to participate in the bidding. I won't say more. A thousand second-hand rifles are of better quality. There are also included bullets. The calibers of bullets in different countries are not universal. This is difficult. One hundred thousand bullets
