"" On the Harmfulness of Opium ", what is it all written about, how the **** can these contents be reported!

Henry rolled over for me, and now you need to give me a reasonable explanation ... "

Thundering is the famous British opium tycoon George Grande, enough to rank among the top ten among all opium dealers in the world.

As one of the vested interests, like all opium dealers, George Grande has always firmly believed that: opium is a omnipotent medicine, and the sale of opium is for salvation.

George Grande has always hated the outside world for criticizing the harmfulness of opium.

With the development of science and technology, more and more people realized the harmfulness of opium, and stood up and called on the government to ban the circulation of opium.

In order to continue to make huge profits through the opium trade, opium traders naturally have to cover up these different voices. To this end, they did not hesitate to use a lot of profits to buy government officials, newspapers, and lawmakers.

The opium trade, which seems to be dominated by opium traffickers, is actually a spoiled meeting with the participation of British bureaucrats, parliamentarians, and the media.

Driven by interests, those with vested interests worked together to suppress the voice of banning opium in China.

Now seeing the articles published in the newspaper exposing the harmfulness of opium, George Grande was naturally unhappy, which meant that he had to spend a greater price to suppress different voices.

Henry, who is in charge of public relations and public relations, hurried to explain: "Sir, this time things are very special, and the source of public opinion is not in the country.

It may be related to the recent international disputes. The first to defame the panacea was the Austrian newspaper. The domestic newspaper only reproduced ... "

If you are not nervous, the opium dealers are ruthless. Opium tycoons like George Grande, if there are not a few hundred lives under their hands, why stand in this circle?

If he messed up his thing, it would be dead. If it were not forced by life, Henry would not take this high-risk job.

As one of the parties, no one knows better than him. The voice of people calling for a ban on opium sales.

The promotion of the Austrian government is only one of the fuse. Some newspapers dare to publish such news, mainly because the domestic opposition to the opium trade is growing.

There were not one or two people who were scourged by opium, neither rich nor poor, and many British dignitaries also became victims.

Although the opium dealer's power is great, it has not reached the point where it is covered by the sky. Public relations and public relations can't buy all the newspapers. Some people dare to criticize it as normal.

In fact, the newspapers that George Grande saw were relatively moderate, but they only reproduced the contents of foreign newspapers and did not express their views.

The content on many street tabloids is truly shocking, and dare to publish everything. Before they came to the door, they changed their vests again.

Henry had clearly felt that there was a force behind it, which worried him.

George Grande interrupted: "Don't talk to me about these useless things, no matter what method you use, you will suppress these sounds.

If these people don't accept our goodwill, they don't need to exist. Pick this active one to kill the chicken and the monkey.

Let the outside world know that our all-purpose medicine association is not irritating! "

Facing the furious George Grande, Henry really had no courage to refuse, and he replied angrily: "Yes, Jazz! It's just ..."

Waiting for the words to finish, George Grande slammed the table and cursed: "Damn Austrian miscellaneous, they should have been scrapped. They are now the climate, and they dare to handle ..."

As long as Austrian legislation banned the opium trade decades ago, opium dealers wanted to retaliate, but their British government rulers were not stupid.

In any case, Austria was also one of the four major powers in the world. For the opium trade, he ran to fight Austria, which was a sign of his brain flooding.

It can't be said that the government can't be moved, and with the help of the opium traffickers alone, it's naturally impossible to confront the Austrian government. Not allowed by law, smuggled secretly.

However, smuggling is not easy. The Austrian government has been severely cracking down on the opium trade. The opium traffickers grabbed one click and killed everyone with fear.

Although not completely eliminated, most opium traffickers were deterred. Big opium traders, including George Grande, have dared not go to Austria in recent years.

Is n’t it legal to sell opium legally elsewhere? Why should I go to Austria to die?

Seeking wealth and insurance, it is only needed by the poor and white cocks. They, the big business owners, do not need to take risks.

It turned out to be tolerable, because there are more markets to choose from. Not now, if the British government follows up, it is breaking the foundation of George Grande.

Under the new hatred and old hatred, George Grande could not care about any nobility, and began to vent.

This can be hard for Henry. He dares not walk, persuades but dares not persuade. He can only stand there awkwardly and try to make a very serious listening expression.

After venting his grievances, George Grande gradually calmed down and involved international political disputes, which was not his ability to blend in itself.

The era of capital has not yet come, and the play is too hi, that comes at a price.

Don't look at the fact that he also holds the title of nobility, but George Grande knows very well how much moisture there is in the purchased title compared with the real nobility.

After a pause, he said slowly: "You don't have to deal with political matters. I will communicate with my colleagues and work together to overcome the crisis."

Being able to stand out in many competitions, George Grande is naturally not a waiter. He is clearly aware of the people's deep hatred of the opium trade.

The "Drug Pharmacy Act", promulgated in 1868, was formulated in response to strong private dissatisfaction.

It only involves self-interest and can't let go.

It is important to know that in 1888 alone, the sales of opium-related products in Britain were tens of millions of pounds, and the surrounding industrial chain was as high as hundreds of millions of pounds.

Not to mention overseas, the benefits that can be obtained are definitely much greater than those of the local.

Once the government enacts the Crow Ban Act, not only will local interests disappear, but overseas profits will also drop sharply.

...

Downing Street, Gladstone ’s Prime Minister is now having a headache. The public ’s attention has indeed shifted from the “Envoy Case”, but Britain is still at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.

"British army's atrocities in Afghanistan", "British colonial black history", "The biggest behind-the-scenes hand in the European War", "The biggest slave trader in human history", "Drug Empire" ...

The focus of this series of public opinion is directed at them. In front of the facts, all their arguments are pale and weak.

If at the outset it was known that the situation would be out of control, Prime Minister Gladstone would rather resist the pressure of the "council" case, and the big deal would be to fight the Russians.

Such a toss is not only inevitable in the Anglo-Russian war, but also infamous.

European countries are very disgusted with their methods of dragging people into the water. The major colonial empires are all a pile of black history, and some are still in progress.

In this context, everyone can only push a more excessive back to attract the public's attention.

Austria started, and everyone pushed it hand in hand, and Britain dominated the list with its strength.

It is still the kind that cannot go up and down. The black history far exceeds the sum of the second, three, four, and five, and has become the focus of international public opinion.

Prime Minister Gladstone: "International public opinion is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, and now if we do anything casually, it will be magnified.

Facts have proved that our plan to divert public attention has failed. European countries are very dissatisfied with our unmasking of their black history. This is just the beginning of revenge.

If we cannot handle these problems properly, we will encounter more troubles later. Do you have any good solutions? "

Fighting directly with Britain, few countries dare, but secretly, they will have no pressure.

Anyway, it was Austria that lifted the cover, and the Russians rushed on the front line, everyone just knocked on the drum.

If the British government wants to retaliate, it must first resolve the two leaders, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

Prime Minister Primrose replied: "The Prime Minister is right, these problems really need to be resolved.

But there is not much we can do right now, any excessive means will cause uproar. Continue to entangle on this issue will only be more detrimental to us.

According to past experience, to suppress a focus of public opinion, it can only create a greater focus of public opinion.

The main reason we failed to divert public attention this time was to build too many enemies. Now we should learn a lesson.

In essence, this incident is just an accident, and it does not have substantial interests, and there is no need to survive.

The Russians are already preparing for war, and it is imperative to defend Afghanistan. I feel that I can appease the dissatisfaction of various countries, and then provoke the conflict between Britain and Russia, and divert the attention of the domestic people.

This public opinion has affected the interests of some capitalists. I believe they will help us guide public opinion. As for international public opinion, let them go! "

Although the opium trade is not an important source of revenue for the government, opium traffickers are definitely the big winners of newspapers, bureaucrats, and lawmakers.

In recent years, British businessmen have controlled most of the drug trade in the world, and nearly half of the benefits have flowed into the pockets of bureaucrats and parliamentarians through various channels.

Although many people do not have a cold for this interest group, they have to admit that this group is powerful.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Gladstone nodded and became a British prime minister. His eyes naturally contained sand.
