I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In September, Dahua’s antibacterial drugs arrived in Europe.

As the only effective medicine to treat the plague, European countries naturally went into a frenzy to grab it.

Those envoys stationed in China frequently entered the government offices of Dahua, hoping to compete for this batch of antibacterial drugs.

They also thought about producing it themselves, but they didn't have the technology or the formula.

"What is the appropriate price for these drugs?"

Chen Luo and several important officials stationed in Ceuta held a meeting overnight to discuss the use of this batch of special medicines.

Should it be sold to Europeans at a high price, or should it be sold at a low price and mainly used to rescue people?

"I'm afraid this setting is too high. The situation in Spain is already particularly serious and there are so many patients who need medication. In addition, their economy is now close to the brink of collapse. Asking for their money is almost equal to killing them."

Shi Zhaoxun analyzed.

Spain's economy originally relied largely on trade with China and work in Ceuta.

Now that Dahua's trade with Europe has been suspended, Ceuta has also banned Spanish entry, making Spain, which is already not wealthy, even worse. Now if we still want to buy medicines at high prices, then this country may collapse directly.

Spain is now in shaky shape.

"It won't work if it's too cheap. England and France will rush to buy it. How many of them can fall on Spain? You can't sell them to England and France at a high price, and then sell them to Spain at a low price."

Another minister said.

"I think we might as well just set a high price for everyone. After all, it's not easy for me to transport medicines all the way here. If they can't afford it, we can't blame us."

Another official was more radical and wanted to take advantage of Spain's national crisis.

"Perhaps, we can use this batch of antibacterial drugs to make a fuss."

When Chen Luo spoke, everyone immediately shut up and listened carefully.

"I think Spain will not be able to pass this level no matter what. We can take the opportunity to annex them, ask Carlos to abdicate, and declare all Spanish territories to be annexed to Dahua.

The specific method is to set two prices for this batch of antibacterial drugs, selling them at a low price to Chinese people and selling them at a high price to foreigners. Spain can't afford it, so the only way left is to become a Chinese.

In this way, we can take over all Spanish territory without any bloodshed, and in a peaceful way..."

hiss......

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. They never expected that Chen Luo was so ambitious and wanted to take advantage of others' danger and directly annex them all.

This is more ruthless than the one who made it difficult for the country to make money. At least he is just greedy for money. He is thinking about his territory.

Such an outrageous thing, after listening to Chen Luo's analysis, everyone suddenly realized that there seemed to be a chance.

"What if Carlos would rather let the plague spread for the sake of the throne? In that case, wouldn't countless people die from the plague?"

Shi Zhaoxun raised a little concern.

That is the throne. For this position, no matter how selfish a person becomes, it is normal.

If Carlos refused to abdicate, it would be embarrassing for Dahua. After all, the court still wanted to save people.

At that time, there was a stalemate with Carlos, resulting in the death of countless people, which was not in Dahua's interests. If you choose to compromise, you will lose Dahua's face and it will be thankless.

"Then let all their people die. His king doesn't care about their lives, so why should we care."

Another minister snorted coldly.

Among the officials in Dahua, some people regard Europeans as foreigners, but some people always think that they are barbarians.

As barbarians, it doesn't matter no matter how many people die.

"If he doesn't agree to abdicate, we will let the Spanish people put pressure on him. If he still doesn't agree, then we will find a way to make him the second Louis XIV."

Chen Luo said.

The moment a king disregards the lives and deaths of his people for the sake of the throne, he will inevitably lose all the support of the people.

And Dahua now controls some public opinion channels, so it is relatively easy to incite the people.

In addition, it is impossible for everyone in Spain to obey Carlos. At this time, there will definitely be careerists who take the opportunity to jump up and down.

If Dahua gives these people some support, it is still possible to send Carlos to the guillotine.

It seems like a crazy plan, but in Chen Luo's opinion, it's not very difficult, it just takes some time.

After discussion at the meeting, everyone initially agreed to the plan.

However, they could not act immediately, but had to send a telegram to Nanjing to ask for instructions.

This kind of thing is different from controlling the disease. It is not an urgent matter. They cannot make the decision privately and must ask the central government for instructions.

If they make the decision on such matters without authorization, I'm afraid the court will no longer trust them.

In order to obtain approval from the court, Chen Luo and the others made detailed plans, deducing various possible situations and how to deal with them.

The plan was sent to the court, and the civil servants in the court were very excited.

They like this method of subduing troops without fighting very much, which can save a lot of military expenses.

It is too barbaric to use force to regain territory at every turn. You can completely rely on the majesty of Dahua to force the enemy to surrender. That is the highest state.

The plan was sent to Wu Changqing, and his ideas naturally matched those of the civil servants.

Not the same.

He hoped that the disease could be controlled steadily and no unnecessary complications would arise.

As for the Spanish territory, it is just a matter of time.

When the Suez Canal is about to be opened to navigation, it will become much easier for Dahua to transport troops and supplies to Europe.

After completing this five-year plan at the latest, Wu Changqing will take full action against Europe.

However, in this plan, Chen Luo vowed that the disease could be controlled.

If it does not affect the prevention and control of the disease, it would be a good thing to seize the opportunity to win Spain.

Therefore, Wu Changqing's approval was to let Chen Luo handle it as appropriate.

It means that Chen Luo is allowed to take care of it by himself. If he does it well, he will be rewarded. If he does it badly, he will naturally be punished.

If Chen Luo doesn't want to take the risk and take responsibility, he can give up this plan.

After receiving the reply, Chen Luo chose to take the risk. He wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution, accumulate political capital, and then enter the central decision-making level in one fell swoop and return to the Central Plains to serve.

Although he was very powerful in Ceuta, in Dahua official circles, the mainstream view was that being an official in Nanjing was the most noble.

Furthermore, the living conditions in Ceuta are not as good as those in Nanjing.

Not only Chen Luo wants to return to the Central Plains, most people who are officials overseas hope to be transferred back to the Central Plains.

However, some people can only resign themselves to fate, while others can rely on their own efforts to fight for it.
