Chapter 1055: The Wasted Water Leads East
Chapter 1035 – The Wastewater Leads East
What would happen to the Moroccan tribes, who originally hated Spain, after acquiring large quantities of weapons and ammunition was naturally self-evident.
Since the sale of arms have put on the British vest, continue to impersonate the British government to support the Moroccan anti-Spanish movement, it is even more so.
With the precedent of supporting the Cuban independence movement, it is only natural to secretly support the Moroccan anti-Western movement.
At least with the Moroccan tribal sheikh’s mode of thinking, completely unable to find reasons for skepticism. Moreover, all other things can be lied to, but the real weapons and ammunition is impossible to lie.
The cognitive difference patched up the last loophole in this deception. The sheikhs could never have imagined that the weapons and ammunition that were worth so much in their eyes were no more expensive than potatoes or wheat in the eyes of another wave of people.
The gun is the gall of the Moroccans, as the saying goes, “in the hands of the gun, the heart does not panic”. Got the weapons of the sheikhs, the face of the Spanish colonizers, the bottom of the air at once up.
Tolerance, does not exist. To know the back of the British Empire in support, look at the opposite side of the Strait of Gibraltar within the British warships, to the chiefs brought unparalleled confidence.
Driven by hatred and interests, a time when the Spanish immigrants in the Moroccan region had a bloody bad luck. Being knocked down is nothing at all, to be able to retrieve a life are the lucky ones, the unlucky ones are sent to see God.
Fortunately, there is no more cannibalistic tribes in the Moroccan region, or else they may have to go to the barbecue grill for a while.
There is nothing wrong with the government taking the blame for civil conflict. Corrupt Moroccan government, internally can not control the following tribes, and externally do not dare to offend the powers.
The original time and space is the same, the Spaniards and the local tribes in Morocco have done several wars, the Moroccan government are playing deaf and dumb.
Corrupt Moroccan sultan government in worry, into endless trouble in the Spanish government, at this moment is also not good.
On the one hand is the expatriates of the personal and property safety must be guaranteed; On the other hand is the tired Spain, has been unable to open up a third front.
Diplomatic strength, in fact, just a bluff. The indigenous tribes do not buy it, and just scaring the Moroccan government will not help.
……
Madrid, Cabinet Room.
From the moment he stepped into the meeting, Prime Minister Antonio tapped his fingers on the table as if he was in endless contemplation.
“Everyone is here, so let’s start today’s meeting! I’m sure you’ve all received the news that what we feared the most has still happened.
Following the rebellions in the Philippines and Cuba, the Moroccan region is also destabilized. Native tribes that are hostile to us have received funding from the British and are causing trouble for us.
What steps to take next to preserve the interests of the Empire is the topic we need to discuss today.”
Whether or not the British are supporting the Moroccan movement against the West, it must be the British who are doing so now, as a matter of political necessity.
To this day, the Spanish government must be on the opposite side of the British, whether it wants to be or not.
The Government of Vienna does not get money for nothing, and if it does not take a stand, what follows is not only a volatile situation in Morocco, but a volatile situation in Spain.
Unlike the infamous British, who were separated by the Channel, the influence of the Holy Roman Empire on the European continent was much more terrifying.
If the government in Vienna stopped supporting them and instead supported the revolutionaries, not only would Spain not be able to hold onto its colonies, but even the mainland would be thrown into chaos.
Even though the Vienna government, which was the stronghold of the conservatives, couldn’t possibly support the revolutionaries now, the Spanish government didn’t know that, did it?
This politics thing, no one can tell. Stories of shouting at the mouth and secretly offering support happen too often in politics.
Anyway, the Anglo-Spanish relationship has always been bad, and recently the British pitched half of their lives on the colonial issue, so why not just walk down one road and go straight against the British?
Of course, the Spanish government’s anti-British efforts were limited to shouting a few slogans politically to make its position clear. It was the Holy Roman Empire that really took on the heavy responsibility of opposing the British.
If Britain really fell, Antonio does not mind immediately rushed up to fall on the well, or else do things or leave a line of good.
“Military means is obviously not desirable, the Philippines war is not yet rested, the suppression of the Cuban rebellion has reached a critical moment. Not only can the military not withstand it, the treasury can’t top it either!”
Finance Minister Siegfried said in a serious tone. It was not that he wanted to help the military to shirk, but mainly because the government’s pockets were really not bulging.
Even though the foreign minister went out for a spin and borrowed two huge sums of money back, a little more than expected, but even more money couldn’t withstand the consumption of the gold swallowing beast.
At the expectant gazes cast by the crowd, Foreign Minister Junior frowned, his good mood instantly gone.
“Don’t expect too much, the Kingdom of Morocco only has nominal dominion over the tribes below. Even if it reaches an agreement with them, it won’t be able to bind the natives below.
We can’t be expected to talk to the uncivilized indigenous tribes, right? There are thousands of tribes, big and small, in the Moroccan region, more than we have diplomats.”
Deep down, Junior had already secretly spat out: do you really think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is omnipotent and can solve everything?
Knowing that the situation in the Moroccan region is volatile, there are people behind the manipulation, but also expect to rely on negotiation to solve, simply ……
Marquis Taboada, the colonial minister, said indifferently: ”Military is not desirable, diplomacy can’t do it. We can’t just leave it alone, can we?
Those uncivilized natives don’t know what international rules are. If the government doesn’t take early measures to combat their arrogance, I’m afraid the next attack won’t be an isolated case.
Spain’s face has already been trampled to the ground, if we continue to let it go, I think we all know very well what will happen in the future.”
In fact, the conflict between Spain and the indigenous tribes of Morocco has not happened once or twice.
In order to solve this crisis, the Spanish government has sent troops on several occasions. However, the final result was very touching.
In the original space and time, Spain and the Moroccans have been pk until 1926, and finally still united with the French to divide, before occupying the northern Morocco region.
Although the original time and space in the Spanish-American War lost the most affluent colonies, Spain’s national strength suffered a heavy blow, but now Spain is not much better.
In addition to recovering the Roussillon region, the face is more honorable, the substance is not much difference.
Although Cuba and the Philippines were in the hands, these two colonies, both of which were in a state of independence. Not only could they not transfuse blood into the country, but they had to keep sucking blood from the Spanish government.
The dilemma would be a headache for any government.
When it comes to the inefficient Spanish government, it is even more so. Every day in the meeting to discuss, just can not come up with a feasible program.
……
London.
As the international situation continues to deteriorate, it is only natural that John Bull, as a well-deserved hegemon of this era, will not sit still.
It was almost an open secret that the government of Vienna used diplomatic means to constantly besiege Britain. Restricted by geopolitics, the British government had no way to compete with Shinra on the European continent.
Anyone with eyesight knows that the longer the time drags on according to the current pace, the more unfavorable it will be for Britain.
But do not delay and can not, although the Holy Roman Empire is Britain’s biggest competitor, but both sides of the development direction is very different.
One is to land power as the core, and then supplemented by sea power as wings; one is completely to sea power center, give up the development of land power.
If you really now showdown, no one can not help who not to say. The key is in the war of attrition, Britain is likely to be dragged alive by the other side.
Insufficient population, industry can not catch up, and lack of allies. How can the British government dare to show its hand?
Not to tear the face, Britain’s hegemony can still be maintained. Once it really tore its face off, it was immediately likely to fall.
A sensible government, naturally, will not play the unorthodox betting on the fate of the country. Moving to the gambling table and pokies is not suitable for players who have already put on their shoes.
As an old-school empire, Britannia is still best at acting as a shit-stirrer. It’s just that the current situation in Europe has limited their play.
These difficulties, however, didn’t scare Britannia. If there were no conditions, then they would create them themselves.
The fight against Spain was only the first step, and it may seem that Britain did not gain anything from it, but it chipped away an armful of help from Shinra.
The only problem was overestimating Spain’s strength and misjudging Spain’s importance to Shinra.
However, this can only be counted on Spain’s bad luck, Britain is not willing to take one’s own opinion vs. the three great powers, must look for an opportunity to polarize the relationship between Russia and Spain with Shinra.
The Russo-Austrian alliance is not good to break, then we can only take Spain to start. Separation of Austro-Spanish relations did succeed, but Spain is also almost ruined, the hatred of the two countries knot big hair.
New hatred and old hatred together, the relationship between Britain and Spain is completely cool. Fortunately, Spain declined, no ability to retaliate, or the London government this time on the boat.
The process does not matter, as long as the final result is good, that’s all.
Although there is not much substantial gain, but pull Spain down, Britain is still the nominal winner.
Crushed the possible “Austro-Russian-Spanish alliance against Britain”, yes just because of a “possible”, led to Spain cool.
At this point, the competition between the powers is so cruel. Feeling threatened, you can go out and knock you down, the reason is so simple.
No. 10 Downing Street, the British Cabinet meeting once again opened.
Prime Minister Robert Cecil: “The Russo-Austrian alliance has lasted for almost half a century, and if you go back further, it can be extended into the last century.
Over the long period of the alliance, the interests of the two countries have become so intertwined that it is difficult for us to separate them by purely traditional methods.
But this alliance, again, is too great a threat to us. Once it flips one day, we’ll be faced with the threat of two powerful nations.
The Russians moving south to India, Shinra killing the Mediterranean. All four continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, will fall into battle, and the Empire is not capable of dealing with so many fronts at once.
The time has come to test us. If Britain’s hegemony is to continue, we must break the Russo-Austrian alliance.
At the very least, we must keep one of the countries neutral in the event of a conflict. The Empire cannot face two enemies at once.
There is not much time left for us, the Central Asian Railroad, which the government in Vienna is helping the Russians to build, is one-third complete, and the railroad will most likely be open to traffic by 1900.”
The fact that only the Russo-Austrian Union was mentioned and no talk of the Continental Union was not, naturally, overlooked by Robert Cecil. The main point was that the Russo-Austrian Union was deeply entrenched, whereas the Continental Union was a mere straw man.
This is despite the fact that in its response to the former economic crisis and the intervention in the Philippine campaign, the Continental Union played an important role in increasing the cohesion of the alliance.
However, a team is a team, and it is not possible to straighten out the internal grudges and feuds within the alliance in a short period of time.
There is no problem in letting the European countries be the wings and follow the flag waving and shouting. If you really want these countries to send troops to war with Britain, the face of Vienna is not so good.
Of course, the most important thing is still because of the strength. After the abolition of Spain, the European Union is left in Russia and Austria two big countries, the rest of the countries even if they dare to participate in the hegemony of the dispute, but also do not have enough strength.
Even if Shen Luo wanted to find a way to pull these small countries down, there was no need to expect that this group of wallflowers would really contribute. The existence of the European Union was purely more political than military.
In contrast, the Russian-Australian alliance was the existence that Britain had to face. The Russians took India, and Shinra took the rest of Britannia’s colonies and hegemony, and the distribution of benefits was clear as day.
Foreign Secretary Cameron: “We have tried to polarize the Russo-Austrian relationship, but the end result, as we all know, has been futile at every turn.
The bureaucrats in the Tsarist government have been corrupted by profit, the Russian-Austrian alliance is tied to their personal interests, and anyone who tries to cut off their finances will be met with the fiercest blows.
Not to mention the Vienna government, which was horribly stable internally, and was pressed by an emperor with the highest prestige since the establishment of the Habsburg dynasty.
If these were the only things that mattered, the point is that since the Tsarist government’s strategic shift southward, there was no core conflict of interest between Russia and Austria.
No matter how much we try to provoke the relationship between the two countries, the Russians’ first strategic goal has always been India, while Shinra’s strategic goal is world hegemony.
It just so happens that we stand in the way of both Russia and Austria at the same time and have become their common enemy.”
Common enemy + common interests = closest allies.
The formula of truth is placed here and there is no way for anyone to overturn it. Expecting the Foreign Ministry to split the Russian-Austrian alliance is indeed difficult.
“How about a woe is me?”
Economy Minister Aquinas proposed, “The Russians’ choice of strategic targets is not just one India either, there is also a land to the east that is equally rich and comparable to India.
The Tsar’s government also has a yellow Russia strategy, the only problem is transportation. Since the Austrians can help the Russians to build the Central Asian Railway, we can also help the Russians to build the Siberian Railway.
With the greed of the Tsarist government, they will never give up their ambitions for the East. No one wants to be a bitter second when they can be the boss.
It’s impossible for the Russians not to realize that once they let Shinra gain hegemony, it’s the end of the honeymoon period between the two countries.
Once they let Shen Luo gain hegemony, even if they took India, the strength between Russia and Austria would not shrink, but would instead widen further.
We are now offering them a new option, a chance to overtake Shinra, and it makes no sense that the Tsarist government would refuse.”
Dead Taoist, Britannia was definitely a patriarch in the business of digging holes and burying mines.
