C2705 The market plummeted!

Time to space, or time to space! This was the quintessence of warfare that all the ancients knew. Not only did the Chinese know this way, but the Europeans also understood the importance of strategy.

For example, since ancient times, Britain had always been a country outside of the mainstream of Europe. However, once they entered the The Age of Great Navigation, their geographical position immediately became the best!

On the other hand, the Germany was in a very poor location. In ancient times, he was the meeting point of Western and Eastern Europe.

When he reached the Ocean Age, all of his exits and openings were still threatened by the British Fleet, as if they were a lid that was tightly clamped on top of their heads.

The strategic position was indeed too difficult. His failure in the first world war was largely a result of him losing out to the geopolitical strategy!

But there was no other way. Who asked God to give them such a piece of land?

France, on the other hand, is much better off. The land is fertile, the agriculture rich, the climate warm and the population large.

Furthermore, France was directly bordering the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. The naval development conditions were much better than Germany's!

France was also protected by the Pyrenees and the Alps, and the south and east, with the exception of the flat land on the front and back, were easy to defend!

With this kind of strategic advantage, as long as they could use it, the Prussian would never have an advantage!

Since Gladstone was able to become the British Prime Minister, he must have a deep understanding of strategy. It was not difficult to judge the situation.

In his judgment, if... Gladstone was talking about the almost impossible if!

If McMahon was really a weak chicken, and he couldn't even defend the Foshan Mountain Pulse, then retreat to the Mace's base camp, then the French Emperor's only choice would be a strategic switch.

Gladstone did not want to say the word retreat, because he felt that such a failure could be borne in the face of a country as large as France.

In the past, Napoleon fought alone against the anti-France alliance in Europe, and France was as tough as an iron ingot wrapped with cow tendons. No one could bite or break it!

As long as Napoleon could guarantee that the army wouldn't collapse, and then slowly retreat, retreating to the outskirts of Paris to set up a ambush and fight against the Prussian, then all of Bismark's advantages would be for naught!

Once they reached Paris, the French would be like fishes in water. The railway network that led to the whole country would send countless soldiers and supplies to Paris, and the war would continue on for a long time.

Once the fanaticism of the entire France was aroused, most likely even more children would dare to shoot at the Prussian army!

This was no longer an army of a million. It was an army that was common to all. It was an army that was tens of millions!

Could Prussia win? I'm afraid it will be very difficult!

Gladstone sipped his whiskey. "So!" The victory is probably a flash in the pan, if you still have Prussian assets... "

"Then I advise you, since you have already earned twice as much, to secretly sell it off! A bag for safety, don't you think? "

The Duke of Newcastle let out a long sigh. "Doesn't that mean that Prussia won't have any chance of victory? France's victory over Prussia is not good news for us. "

"Hahaha …" It's not that exaggerated. I think that this battle will end with a draw. Bismark is a strategic expert, even if I could understand him, he would understand as well! "

"Once the war has turned into a defense battle in Paris like I've analyzed, Bismark will definitely know where to go, and the war will be transferred from the battlefield to the negotiating table!"

At that time, France will lower their heads and acknowledge the unity of the Germany. Bismark will have what he wanted and French Emperor will be able to avoid the destruction of the entire country.

"And our British Empire wants this kind of result. To let both of them suffer, to let us bleed a little more so that we can feel comfortable!"

Duke Neuchel let out a long sigh. "You can see it all right. The day after tomorrow, I will throw away all my Prussian bonds and stocks and earn a little bit of money. Don't be greedy …"

At this time, the silent Prince Edward suddenly spoke up, "I suggest that you make your move today! Now we have only received word of a land-based war, and the French navy has not moved yet! "

"What do you think will happen to the financial markets once the France's navy starts bombarding the Prussian coast?"

"Ouch!" Duke of Newcastle slapped his thigh, "How did I forget about that? Navy, Navy! "How could that garbage Prussian navy be a match for France!"

"I was wondering why so many people didn't buy the bonds and stocks. They were waiting for this news!"

"Hurry up and throw it away. Sorry, I have to meet with my accountant …" With that, the Duke put on his clothes and turned to leave.

The financial markets were indeed unpredictable. The Battle of Walter and the Battle of the Spicillin's plateau were like two stimulants that had doubled the price of Prussian financial products in just three days!

However, after three days, the rising force could no longer move!

The following funds were unable to continue. How could the small retail investors be able to handle such a large plate? Under the effect of the mysterious selling force, the financial products related to Prussia also began to loosen and fall.

In just half a day's time, these products' prices had dropped by 25% compared to the morning. This caused the entire City of London to be thoroughly shocked, and the countless of people who rushed in to buy them in the morning felt so much regret that their intestines turned green.

"How could this be? Didn't we win?" Is there some new news from the front lines? " The crowd whispered to each other.

"Who knows!" "Anyway, I've always said that stocks in this kind of war are the most dangerous. War is always full of accidents, and France isn't that easy to defeat …"

"I think Prussia is hanging!"

The main force behind the sell-off were the higher-ups from various countries. They were well-informed, and also had someone like Gladstone to guide them. With their strategy and advice, they were able to secretly double their profits!

It was not only the Europeans who were escaping, but also Fang Guan of the Netherlands. This weird fellow was in contact with all sorts of nobles in Europe.

When Fang Guan heard this, he immediately laughed "Haha. This was a good thing! "They're throwing our money away too. They'll have plenty of chances to earn it back in a few days!"

With Fang Guan's order, the Foundation's seats in the major stock companies started to move. They began to sell off their bonds and stocks anonymously, and a huge amount of financial products were smashed down from above.

By the end of the day, the average price of these financial products had plummeted by 35%.
