Holy Roman Empire

As the world's largest import and export trading country, Britain can be said to be the biggest victim of this economic crisis.

The domestic strikes have not subsided, and the international market has contracted, leading to a rapid decline in exports, a sharp rise in unemployment, and aggravation of social conflicts.

In order to quell domestic conflicts and divert public attention, the British Parliament decided to hold general elections in advance.

There is no doubt that the Liberal Party headed by Gerston failed in the election and replaced by the Conservative Party led by Benjamin.

This seems to be the law of British politics. Except for the first prime minister, Robert Walpole, who was re-elected for twenty years, the remaining term is basically no more than eight years.

(Remarks: The terms of office of the British Prime Minister and Parliament are both five years)

Prime Minister Benjamin staying in Downing Street once again was troubled except that he was happy on the first day of the election victory.

The scorching economy in the country made Prime Minister Benjamin's hair gray again.

Colonial Secretary Robert: "The domestic economy is already very dangerous. In order to survive the crisis, we must find a bigger market for commodities.

I propose to restart the Persian war. I have just experienced a refugee crisis, and now it is the time when Persia is the weakest. This is very beneficial to our military operations."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Arthur Belfort: "The government's finances are still sufficient to provide us with sufficient war funding.

I feel that while launching the Persian War, the Ethiopian War can be restarted.

In the last war, we only won in name, and most of Ethiopia is still out of our control.

In recent years, the Austrians have continuously penetrated into the Ethiopian region.If we do n’t hurry, we may wake up that day and Ethiopia will put the Austrian flag.

Not only the Ethiopian region, the entire East Africa region is very dangerous.If we do not act quickly, the two countries will not be polite."

Secretary of the Navy John Vasil: "Not only in East Africa, but also in Asia. The French are expanding into the Indo-China Peninsula and will soon border India.

We must take the lead in occupying the tribute of the Kung Phong Dynasty. This is the gateway to India. If it falls into the hands of the French, the consequences will be disastrous."

(Remarks: Myanmar is in the period of the imperial dynasty, known by the West as the Gongbang Dynasty)

...

It is not surprising that Prime Minister Benjamin was hailed as a colonial defender.The huge colonial empire of the British was also shot down one shot at a time. The main battle and the colonial factions never separated.

It is impossible for Britain to survive the economic crisis by tapping domestic demand.

The local population determines the upper limit of the British home market.This means that to survive the economic crisis, we must rely on external markets.

Relying on the vast colony, the British want to get rid of the economic crisis is not difficult, but it takes time.

The only way to survive the economic crisis in the short term is to start a war and pass on the crisis.

Foreign Secretary Edward: "Stop it. I admit that everyone makes sense, and that Britain is urgently in need of a solution, but reality does not allow it.

Not to mention that if we wage multiple wars at the same time, whether our national strength can sustain it, diplomatic trouble alone is enough to exhaust us.

If you do n’t want to see European countries pull back on us, you must have a sequence.Multi-line operations have no value except to increase risk and pressure."

The driving force driving the British to war has always been interests.Everyone knows that it is impossible for the London government to wage multiple wars at the same time.

Behind this is also a game among all parties, with participation from the military, political officials, and capitalists.

The first campaign launched not only "benefited first", but also determined the importance of the area in the eyes of the London government.

Colonial Secretary Robert: "I think the Persian war will be restarted first. The situation in the Persian region is the most complicated, and it also involves Russia and Austria.

The Russian Empire is now dragged down by the Pupo Federation, unable to intervene in the Persian region in a short period of time, but Austria is different, and their forces have penetrated into the Persian Gulf.

Although their temporary goal is Ottoman, this does not mean that they have no ambition for the Persian region.

Now the Persian government is doing everything possible to win over the major powers. If we do not raise our vigilance, the Austrians may someday expand their power into the Persian region.

Open the map and know that once the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the entire east coast of the Mediterranean would become part of Austria, and then the Persian region would directly border Austria.

If the Persian region cannot be taken down as a barrier in advance, the pressure on India will increase."

Secretary of the Navy John Vasile objected: "Sir Robert, you are too exaggerated.

We already have an absolute advantage in the Persian region. Unless the Ottoman Empire collapses tomorrow, otherwise the Austrians will have no way to compete with us.

Judging from the current situation, the Ottoman Empire can support at least two decades.If they complete the internal reforms, they can even continue to exist.

On the contrary, the threat from the Indochina Peninsula is even greater. The Gongbang Dynasty has completely declined, and it can't stop the French soldier's front."

Chancellor of the Exchequer Arthur Belfort: "Don't talk so seriously, and it's not that we will have a war with France and Austria tomorrow.

Now the three of us are allies, and without sufficient benefits, they will not come to stimulate our nerves.

The most important thing right now is to survive the economic crisis. It is better for everyone to think more economically.

Since the opening of the Suez Canal, east-west trade has grown rapidly.Nearly 40% of the ships in European foreign trade are now navigable from the Suez Canal.

This golden waterway has affected Britain's economic lifeline.We did not pay enough attention to let the Suez Canal control completely fall into the hands of Fau.

Of course, this is the responsibility of the predecessors, but this consequence has to be borne by us.

France and Austria regard the Suez Canal as the lifeblood, and it is impossible for us to intervene.Now only a roundabout strategy can be adopted to increase its influence in the Red Sea Strait.

In recent years, the French have expanded into the Sudan and Austria has expanded into Ethiopia. The two sides have reached a tacit agreement to jointly squeeze our sphere of influence.

If this situation is allowed to continue, sooner or later there will be no place for us in East Africa.Even if it takes advantage of the navy, it will retain the land around the port at most.

Just like the current Cape of Good Hope, it seems to be in our hands. As long as you turn your face with the Austrians, you may fall at any time."

"Your Excellency, this joke is not funny at all. France and Austria can truly unite, this is the biggest joke in this century.

Unless one of them abandons the European hegemony, otherwise the two countries cannot be truly united, and now they regard each other as their greatest enemy!"The Colonial Secretary Robert retorted

It is easy to say that giving up continental hegemony, but why should one believe it?

Unless the strength to fight for hegemony is lost, the verbal commitment cannot be believed at all.

Except for the failure of one of the two countries, the European hegemony will continue.

Now that the two countries can coexist peacefully, that is, the two sides seem to have the same strength, and the existence of the third, fourth or fifth, no one wants to provoke war and let others pick up the cheap.

Foreign Secretary Edward: "Sir Robert, France and Austria do indeed have the possibility of union. As long as the benefits are in place, nothing will happen."

"Sir Edward, I am not saying that the two countries cannot unite, but that under the current international situation, the two countries cannot unite.

The seemingly friendly relationship between France and Austria actually has a lot of contradictions.As long as we are willing, it is not difficult to provoke the conflict between France and Austria."The Colonial Secretary Robert explained

"No, Sir Robert. We are in need of Faoming being friendly and secretly hostile to each other.

It is not in our interest to provoke a conflict between France and Austria, which in turn triggers a European war and breaks the balance of continental Europe.So this option simply does not exist.

As we saw the importance of the Suez Canal, France and Austria can also see it, even if they see it earlier.

In the past ten years or so, we have always wanted to buy shares in the Canal Company, but they have been refused, which is enough to explain the problem.

If we do not take action, for the dominance of the Suez Canal, it is really possible for the two countries to join forces to push us out of East Africa.

This is not without precedent. Before the two countries had united with France and Austria, we were almost squeezed out of the Mediterranean."Foreign Minister Edward warns

This is the most vexing. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid the conflict between the two countries. On the other hand, it cannot provoke the conflict between the two countries. Otherwise, war will break out on the European continent and the balance will be broken.

From the standpoint of the British, no matter who wins the war between France and Austria, it is a disaster.The current tripod is actually the most suitable for the European balance strategy.

Benjamin interrupted everyone's quarrel: "Everyone, everyone can't convince each other, so vote for it! It's not a way to continue this quarrel, time is not waiting for others."

The seemingly slimy approach actually shows its position.The support for restarting the Ethiopian war was significantly more, which was decided by overseas trade.

Expansion in the East African region can expand Britain's influence in the Red Sea region and increase its say on the Suez issue.

In case one day and Fao turned their faces, they were still qualified to overturn the table, so they would not get stuck in the neck.

This may be the most efficient time for the London government. From asking questions to making decisions, the cabinet only took one day.

Under normal circumstances, it takes at least a few months to start a war, even after three or five years of no results.

This is obviously the exception. The economic crisis did not wait for anyone. The cabinet quickly reached an agreement, and Congress immediately submitted a bill.

Needless to say, nature is the fastest way to pass.There is no need for the government to do the work of parliamentarians, and the capitalists have long been unable to bear it.

By launching the war one day earlier, we can survive the economic crisis one day earlier.

The last government's resignation was largely due to Gerston's proposal: After dividing the sphere of influence through the Paris Conference, a colonial war was waged.

There is no international pressure to do so, but the Paris conference cannot be concluded in one or two days.The economic crisis has erupted, and the capitalists can't wait that long.

To some extent, they were also pitted by Franz.If it were not for the Vienna government to detonate the crisis, the economic crisis would not have exploded so quickly.

Politicians must also have integrity, especially after taking office, political positions cannot be changed at will.Changing the course of the day will not only affect the prestige of the government, but will also make the people disgusted.

The decision of the Gelston government made mistakes before the economic crisis broke out: after the Paris conference, the political proposition of colonial expansion.

There is no problem in itself, and it has been recognized by various circles in China.Unfortunately, bad luck, the economic crisis broke out soon after it was proposed.

In order to overcome the economic crisis as soon as possible, it is necessary to wage war abroad, and then only one government can be changed.

The Benjamin cabinet has a bunch of main battle groups. It's not that these people are originally main battles, but that they need them in reality.

On November 28, 1876, the British Parliament passed the bill "Restarting the Ethiopian War".

There was an uproar in international public opinion, condemning the British.The British approach was a heavy blow to the ongoing Paris conference.

The world is not calm again. Since the British can excuse not signing a treaty and wage colonial wars during the Paris conference, other European countries can also colonize and expand during the Paris conference.

Originally, everyone wanted to negotiate to define their spheres of influence, and to divide up the remaining land of no ownership. Now it is back to the era of grabbing with strength.
