Chapter 548: Do You Want to Bury Yourself Too?
In view of the embarrassing situation of their own core cities being repeatedly infiltrated and destroyed by enemy spies, the British, in addition to increasing their investment in their counter-espionage agencies, also strictly ordered their intelligence departments to step up the collection of information related to Tsarist Russia and the Great Song Dynasty.
The first to receive good news was a task force in Dalian Bay, which reportedly received credible information that the Great Song people were interested in negotiating an armistice with the Russians, and that the war that had previously been clamored by the Great Song people all over the world was likely to end in the near future at the expense of the polar bears carving out the eastern shore of Lake Belga.
Obviously, the Great Song people also paid a great price for the land that the Qing emperor had ceded in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Russians could never have stolen a few potentially mutilated submarine construction drawings from the scene of the fire to build their underwater "ghost fleet".
However, the situation agency still has not collected information on the weapons of mass destruction related to the London explosion, and it is still unknown whether the Great Song people sold the relevant manufacturing technology to Tsarist Russia, or only sent a certain amount of such weapons.
In any case, the Russians did not lose anything in this PY deal, and the Admiralty did not advocate a counterattack on the Russian fleet entering the Black Sea before the Song-Russian alliance split or before it could carry out effective strikes against submarines.
The British also had to temporarily shrink their front due to threats on their homeland in order to secure their important ports. This was an opportunity for the rebels who were sowing chaos in the colonies of the British Empire around the world.
"We were told that the French would say that once Tsarist Russia regained control of the Black Sea, all our previous efforts in Crimea would be in vain." A certain congressman remembered the old trick of Yoyo Fa Chicken again.
Before the outbreak of the Crimean War, the stupid nephew of the emperor believed that Tsarist Russia was separated from him by Prussia and Austria-Hungary, and as long as Prussia and Austria remained neutral, the possibility of all-out war was almost zero. If only to fight in the Balkans or the Black Sea region, France has a technological advantage, and the battlefield and the scale of the war will be limited to a limited extent. The most important thing is that he will be the winner no matter what, because after the war, the Holy Alliance will be dismantled, and the Four-Power Alliance Treaty will be completely obsolete.
John Bull, who was also deeply disturbed by the polar bear's expansion in the Near East, did not immediately show his support for the French chicken. After a period of flickering, Napoleon III made major concessions on Egypt and promised France more military forces, especially the army, in the Crimea region, before John Bull said that he had "reluctantly" agreed to join the anti-Russian alliance.
Only the stupid nephew of the emperor would believe in the stupid assumption that if he did not give in, John Bull would let the tsar drink the Turkish straits! As an island nation with colonies all over the world, how could John Bull allow greedy polar bears to infiltrate those two straits, and what would they rely on to secure their power in the Mediterranean if such a situation arose?
Finally, when the battle damage table in Crimea came out, the French chicken was also dumbfounded. As the losing side, Maozi hung 520,000 people, Tuji lost 400,000 people, and he hung nearly 100,000 people, what about John Bull? There were only 20,000 losses in the world.
Look at Egypt, which has made major concessions to show its sincerity, John Bull has quietly stationed nearly 100,000 troops in the area covering the Suez Canal, and this Nima is almost catching up with his elite troops in Crimea!
Not only did he refuse to sell the submarine manufacturing technology he had mastered to the British, but he also kept sending troops to Somaliland, constantly compressing the space for the Mahdi army in Sudan to operate and driving them along the Nile River to Egypt.
French chicken does not sell submarine technology, and Eagle Sauce, who has just been restricted by John Bull from the freedom of the fleet, also said that he will not sell it, and just after slapping my face, Nima came to ask me for candy to eat, you really think I am muddy, if you don't accept it, you will come to the White House again to try it?
John Bull realized that since there was an extra Da Song-stirring stick in this world, the fooling Dafa that he had always been good at before suddenly became invalid, and it hurt to hit a wall frequently in diplomacy!
Faced with the embarrassment of taking too many steps, it is not only through the family, John Bull is now hesitating among the many difficult interests.
Southern Africa, which let the Great Song people intervene, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take it without continuing to increase the army; As for the Black Sea, in the face of the Tsarist Russian Navy, which has obtained the technology of manufacturing submarines of the Great Song Dynasty, we will have nothing to do with him ourselves for a while; If the South Pacific region is allowed to be dominated by the Great Song Dynasty like this, it is estimated that the Strait of Malacca will not have much time to lose control; In the Far East, the speed at which the Great Song people, who shook hands with the Russians, and took root was bound to increase exponentially, where they had the advantage of being of the same language!
It is said that at this time, you should quickly get rid of the-stirring stick of Da Song, but this-stirring stick is smellier and harder than any one that John Bull has ever seen before, and it can't be flickered when it keeps chopping, it really hurts!
"The Far East is where the core interests of the Great Song people lie, and it is precisely because they can easily gain control in this region that the Great Song Dynasty has the energy to oppose us everywhere, since the Russians are unwilling to continue to confront the Great Song people there, then we will support other forces to compete with them!" As a John Bull who has been focusing on stirring for hundreds of years, he really won't put the front gang as the first choice for his counterattack.
Soon Ito Hirobumi received a notice from the British minister in Japan about suspending the payment of war reparations agreed in the secret treaty to the Great Song Dynasty, and the first one to be selected by John Bull as the vanguard of the anti-Song Dynasty was the foot basin chicken!
Relying on the indemnity of the Manchurians, it was not easy for the foot basin chicken to recover his navy, even if he had an infinite desire to occupy the mainland, Ito Hirobumi was also soberly aware that the fleet of the Great Song people in the Far East was an unshakable existence for himself.
However, unlike the history of the original plane, in this plane, the footbasin chicken won only a crushing victory in the Sino-Japanese War, and Ito Hirobumi, as the prime minister, did not have as much prestige as in another time and space, and there were still many voices against him in the court and the opposition. In particular, after Maguan was bombarded by the Great Song Dynasty, he introduced a series of measures to show "cowardice", and even the emperor was suspicious of it.
As for the British's deceitful policy of using themselves as gunmen, Ito Hirobumi can know its true purpose with his feet, but even the emperor feels that this is a good opportunity to regain control of the Liaodong Peninsula, and he is afraid that a prime minister whose reputation has been damaged will not be able to stop it!
"Boss Zhao, Footpot Chicken said that due to financial difficulties, the payment of compensation for this quarter will be delayed." Huang Xiaolei took Ito Hirobumi's handwritten telegram and said to Zhao Yi.
"Reject their application, their family is in trouble and it is our business!" Zhao Yi, who has been extremely irritable recently, said.
"You'd better look at the telegram from Hirobumi Ito yourself, it's not an application, it's a notice!" Huang Xiaolei said.
"What's that? Notice!? This Nima is going to rebel, foot basin chicken! The former collector snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and snatched the telegram in Huang Xiaolei's hand, and he was very sensitive to Xiao Fei not paying back the money he owed.
"Hirobumi Ito's mind has always been very clear, why did he suddenly short circuit, can't he see the side of the chicken, eagle sauce, and Hans?" Zhao Yi said.
"What I want to ask is, why hasn't Okinawa moved after the Japanese rape dog has been raised for so long, and the footbasin chickens are in the mood to pay the bills, what is the military intelligence department doing to eat?" Xiao Fei said and handed the telegram in his hand to Zhao Yi.
