Chapter 1439: Chapter 659: Triangular Trade: Triple Win Means I Win Three Times!
When the profit reaches 10%, they will be eager to move;
When the profit reaches 50%, they will be willing to take risks;
When the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all the laws of the mortal world; when the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk the gallows.
Cromwell looked at everyone, his face cold and hard as he put forth his suggestion:
“He targets our economy, we will target his homeland.
I suggest summoning a multinational joint fleet to penetrate directly into the homeland of the North Sea Empire, luring the interdiction cruiser fleet to return for defense, then we dispatch battleships along the line to snipe them, at the very least, we need to break the formation of the interdiction cruiser fleet.
Render their legion titles ineffective.”
At this point, the Empress’s husband, Ferdinand II, raised his question:
“Lord Cromwell, if we cross the Strait of Dover to attack the North Sea Empire, the Prime Minister of the Iris Kingdom, Richelieu, will definitely not sit idly by.
Plus, with the Kalmar Union of Three Nations annexed by the North Sea Empire, all five of our former maritime powers will be involved in the war; what if the Star Moon Empire barges in, how should we respond?”
Before making the suggestion, [Protector of the Realm] Cromwell was already confident:
“Your Majesty.
The North Sea Empire might be tough to deal with, but the Iris Kingdom, another pillar of the Protestant Alliance, currently has a deadly problem.”
Seeing everyone’s ears perked up, he finally revealed the mystery:
“The last male heir of the Valois Dynasty, Louis XI… is about to die.
In the Iris Kingdom, the Orthodox Church holds the advantage, while the Protestant forces are weak, if we replace their King and eliminate all pro-Protestant factions, we can stab the North Sea Empire fiercely from behind!
And I am already prepared, all it requires is…”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
The Remit People might not excel in other skills, but they undoubtedly lead in the art of deception.
“Feasible.”
“Seconded!”
“Seconded!”
…
The Orthodox Alliance began executing both overt and covert attack plans.
Byron’s side was also not idle.
In the morning, he had breakfast with Catherine, and Violet who finally returned to Ganquan Palace after finishing her research project.
“It’s not easy, but we’ve finally managed to set the triangular trade on the right track.
With the rapid flow of people, goods, information, and capital across the three regions, [Araiyer] is continually strengthening.
My ‘Unity of All Things’ has risen from 10% to 12%.”
Catherine and Violet also had smiles brimming with joy:
“I’ve reached 8%, the more wealth I acquire, the faster the growth, the triangular trade significantly accelerated the distribution of goods.”
“I’ve reached 9%, practicing the ‘steering’ with you each night has greatly expedited my growth compared to before.
I’m more confident about the upcoming Demigod promotion ceremony.”
Byron looked up towards the opposite of the Sea of Monsters, chuckling internally:
“The Orthodox Alliance and the Pyrenees Empire think they’ve struck gold by acquiring rights to develop the Southern Continent through the Church Meridian.
Little do they know, the Church Meridian in another world has enabled countries occupying the Eastern Hemisphere to swiftly ascend by finding the route to the East.
However, the first Empire Where the Sun Never Sets, bound by tradition, faded from its throne in melancholy.
In the end, neither of these countries emerged as the victor, the most lucrative venture in the early Great Nautical Age was the triangular trade.
Ultimately, it was the Pirate Kingdom that first initiated the triangular trade, picking up the crown and crowning itself as the unique Empire Where the Sun Never Sets.
Fate, inevitably one must believe in it, likewise, nations cannot disregard their fortune.
Some nations, by relying on their latecomer advantage, continue to win throughout the process.”
“Thus, when drawing the Church Meridian, I positioned in the East, more favorable for external exploration; absence of gold and silver in colonies fostered our resolute path towards industrialization; ultimately, our robust industrial capacity initiated the triangular trade first.
Additionally, I nearly dominate all starting and ending points of the Echidna Triangular Circulation at the Dragon Court, Hundred Beasts Paradise, and Corridor of Truth, every triangular trade run fortifies my external circulation.
Three wins, means I win thrice!”
Of course, the current triangular trade differs significantly from the original.
The biggest difference being the absence of slave trade in between.
It’s not because Byron values human rights, but he has his own concerns:
“The known human immunodeficiency virus initially only existed in chimpanzees and gorillas, even in my era, it had only been in humans for a mere few decades.
There are only three ways for this virus to spread: through blood, mother-infant, and X.
So the question arises.
How did this virus first transfer from apes to humans?
Chills down the spine.
Humans should not, at least must not!”
If Black Iron Race slaves were directly sent to the Silver Continent, going to entertainment venues like the Red Mill in the future would require a soul-searching introspection first.
Lower body: “I have a bold idea.”
Upper body: “No, you don’t want it at all.”
Every visit is gambling with your life.
For some groups, this might not be necessarily a bad thing.
But Byron doesn’t want to put this bomb in his own house.
“Protect the streetwalkers even abolishing the sex industry within the Empire, letting those pitiful women return to normal life, in fact, there is a better method.
While enhancing economic and living standards, simultaneously introducing the Prism School’s broadcast system.
As known, the worse the economy, the higher the quality of streetwalkers; the better the economy, the lower the quality, this is a natural law of human society.
With the Prism School’s technology, those streetwalkers who only sell their bodies without skills will start performing, being well-fed and pampered by top supporters.
