Ps. This chapter is dedicated to noodle and belly book friends, thank you for your first vote for this book, thank you!

Joey did not hesitate to sell his political opponents to him, which made Crown Prince Frederick's face unpleasant.

Facing Joy and the old prime minister, who were obviously beginning to be in the same stream, the crown prince said with displeasure on his face, "No matter what political differences, they are all Germans under my father's rule, and I can't accept it if I want to do this." ”

Joy and Lao Zai glanced at each other, only to find that both sides had obviously missed a big problem just now: his father (crown prince) was the one who wanted to inherit the throne, as the future king of a country, as a moral model for Prussia and even the whole of Germany, and his father (crown prince) dug a trap for the people during the prince's reign, and if this matter spread, it would be a big political scandal.

"Therefore, the use of such extreme means against political opponents can neither be said in front of my father (crown prince), nor can I do it in front of my father (crown prince), and the positive image of my father (crown prince) must be maintained." Joey and the old prime minister immediately figured this out.

Thinking of this, Joey immediately apologized to his father for what he had just thought, making it clear that this was his naïve idea of being young and ignorant, and that he would definitely put Germany first in everything in the future, etc., Balabala said for a while.

The old prime minister also readily admitted his mistakes, saying that he did not think about the problem thoroughly, and as the prime minister, he should also put the interests of all Germans in his heart.

In this scene, Joey and the old prime minister also read each other's thoughts at the same time.

Joy said that he would never let the Victorian Crown Princess Foundation and related personnel contact the president of Peru and so on during the war. The actual meaning of these words in the ears of the old prime minister is: I will remind those who are friendly with me to avoid this pit, but I will not remind those opponents.

As the old chancellor said, he will resolutely not allow the state credit guarantee for certain people in Germany who want to provide funds or credit for Peru's purchase of Russian supplies. The actual meaning of these words in Joey's ears is: I will not care if the private sector makes credit guarantees, opponents, to die, as soon as possible.

In the end, Joy was afraid that he would not be able to get his opponent, so he proposed to the old prime minister and his father, "Father, my lord, in order to show our determination to maintain world peace and defend world justice, and to prevent the Germans who do not know the truth from causing unnecessary losses in this war, I propose that the Imperial Government should impose an embargo on German products against the warring countries during the war." ”

As soon as the old prime minister heard Joey's proposal, he was happy, "Isn't this forcing your opponent to raise funds privately, but also by smashing the pot and selling iron, and you can only buy Russian goods, so that the opponent will lose if you lose, this method is good, I like it." ”

Looking at the crown prince who was still hesitating, the old prime minister decided to add fire, helping Joey is helping himself, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I think His Royal Highness the prince is right, since diplomacy should show a posture of maintaining world peace and defending international justice, then superficial justice still needs to be done, and it is a good way to embargo the belligerents." ”

"But if we want to support Chile, isn't it tying our hands and feet in doing so?" The crown prince apparently didn't notice the intentions behind the two, but was thinking about something else.

"Father, our supplies were only sent to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the Chileans to arrange for the Chileans to enter Chile by land. Didn't you just say that the Chilean envoy has recruited volunteers of Prussian descent in Argentina, and we have set up a base in Argentina to support Chile, so that we can not only train Argentine Prussian descendants, but also maintain German diplomatic impartiality.

"Finally, the Argentine Prussian descendants who have been trained can also influence Argentine politics in the future." The old prime minister said lightly.

Crown Prince Frederick thought about it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with this method, but he still felt that there was a problem that had not been solved, "Your Royal Highness, we have spent so much effort to drag the Russians into South America, will the British eat this diplomatically?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." The old prime minister decided to repay Joey's favor, and after gently putting down the cigar in his hand, he said respectfully to Crown Prince Frederick, "I think His Royal Highness has already thought about this. ”

Looking at his father, Joy smiled and said, "Father, with the support of the French, the Russians entered South America, and whoever is most worried is naturally Britain with the dominance of world trade." ”

"Germany is maintaining world peace and defending world justice, so direct confrontation with Russia, France, the United States and other countries is not conducive to our image, so we have to find an opponent of equal strength for Russia, the United States and France, the British!"

"But didn't the British make it clear that they were neutral about the war in the South Pacific?" Crown Prince Frederick asked.

"Father, that's because the Russians haven't intervened in South America yet." Joey replied.

"His Royal Highness, if the Russians intervene in South America and the British government still sits idly by, I think public opinion in Britain will be even more uproar." The old prime minister added.

"Father, I've been following the Fleet Street newspapers lately, and now Sir Gladstone, the leader of the Liberal Party, is now slamming the foreign policy of Prime Minister Disraeli in the newspapers every day after the Conservative government lost the midterm elections in Parliament. Father, you should know the William of the people, who was always a strict defender morally. ”

Crown Prince Frederick nodded, "Sir William Yurt Gladstone, indeed an English gentleman, I am familiar with him, and he is very demanding in terms of morality. ”

"Yes, father, Sir Gladstone's criticism of the foreign policy of the Conservative Party is mainly a criticism of the mistakes of the Glorious Isolation Policy, and I think Prime Minister Disraeli, for the sake of the upcoming parliamentary elections, must be more proactive in the diplomatic dimension where he has lost the most points."

"My proactive understanding of Prime Minister Disraeli is that the British government will not budge to the Russians as it did in the Istanbul crisis last year. If the Russians are thousands of miles away and scattered on British soil, then Prime Minister Disraeli deserves to be the leader of the Conservative Party. ”

"Germany's call to maintain world peace and defend world justice is to be seen by Sir Gladstone, a moral model, and the actions of the Reich will certainly receive a positive response from the next British Prime Minister in the British public opinion circles." Joey said with a smile.

"The pressure of domestic public opinion, coupled with the pressure of domestic political opponents, is far more effective than external pressure, after all, the British government is an elected government, and the Conservative Party can only play for the sake of its own political future, when the Russians are all playing." Joey said confidently.

"Jojo, are you sure Sir Gladstone can be re-elected Prime Minister?" Crown Prince Frederick thought for a moment and asked another question.

"Father, I am sure that Sir Gladstone will be Prime Minister in the final elections next year, on the one hand, the Liberal Party is about to become a simple majority in the British Parliament, and on the other hand, Prime Minister Disraeli's code of conduct for the benefit of not moral is very unpopular in British society, and on the basis of these two points, I am sure that Sir Gladstone will come to power."

Seeing Joey's confident evaluation of the situation in Britain, the old prime minister had a thought in his heart, "Could it be that this little guy is convinced that Sir Gladstone, a moral model, is going to come to power, so he preemptively erects the moral banner and takes the road the British are going to take in diplomacy?!" The little guy can read from the newspaper who is going to be on stage?! ”

"Your Royal Highness, if the British are allowed to come in and support the Chileans, will not German interests in Chile be damaged?" The old prime minister asked suddenly.

"My lord, Chile's mineral resources are still a secret, and today, only my father, you, and I, the three of us know, as long as we can keep this secret, the interests that the British want to encroach on can only be Chile's saltpeter resources and animal husbandry resources."

"In animal husbandry, the British have Canada, India, Australia, and South Africa, so as long as Germany insists on animal husbandry, the British will give in." Joey crossed out the British option on the livestock industry in Chile.

"Aside from the secrets that the three of us have in their possession, all Britain wants is saltpeter mines. My lord, I would like to report to you the latest achievements of the German chemical community, our scientists have found a chemical method for the industrial synthesis of phosphate and potash fertilizers, as nitrogen fertilizers to replace saltpeter, and are also actively researching. ”

"In a few years' time, saltpeter mines will be just an ornament for German agriculture." Joey said to the old prime minister with an affirmative face.

Seeing the crown prince looking at his son Joy with a smug face, the old prime minister understood that Joey's words were not exaggerated, and after gently turning the cigar in his hand, the old prime minister nodded and said, "That is to say, with Britain on the issue of Chilean nitrate, the empire wants to make money on the surface, but in fact it can negotiate terms." ”

"Yes, my lord, Chile's copper mines are in the mountains of the Andes, I'll draw them for you later, and you'll take care of the rest. How to negotiate the mining rights in these areas. Joy was convinced of the old prime minister's diplomatic skills, and with the cards that the British did not know, he naturally had a good grasp of Chile's copper mines.

The old prime minister smiled and nodded, and agreed to the matter.

So far, the diplomatic strategy of the Southern Taiping planned by Joy has finally been fully displayed in front of the three of them under the continuous questioning and supplementation of his father and the old prime minister.

1. In the name of maintaining peace and defending justice, the German Foreign Office will intervene in the war in the South Pacific and will invite the belligerents, as well as Britain, the United States, France, and Russia, to participate in the peace talks. Extend the old prime minister's diplomatic gaze from the perspective of European balance to world balance.

2. In order to restore peace to the countries along the South Pacific as soon as possible, Germany will impose an official embargo on goods for the belligerents and call on all European countries to do so. In this way, he established a positive image of the peace-loving German Empire and preemptively occupied the moral high ground.

3. In the form of civil affairs, select Prussian officers and soldiers who need to be decommissioned, let them go to the Prussian settlement in La Plata, arm and train the Prussian descendant troops, and wait for the decisive battle between the Chilean Navy and the Peruvian and Bolivian federal armies, and enter Chile to participate in the war at the right time. The most important purpose was to strengthen and consolidate Prussia's power in Chile and Argentina.

4. On the premise that the Chilean government is willing (must) to transfer exploration rights and mining rights, it will raise funds in Germany in the form of joint ventures, of which the German part of the shares of the joint venture company will be turned into physical aid in the form of German materials. It is necessary to export both capital and products, and prepare for a complete monopoly on Chile.

5. All the materials that Germany aided Chile will be exported to the Prussian descendants of La Plata in Argentina, and the Prussian descendants of Argentina will be responsible for the distribution, transportation and storage of these materials, and the extra materials will be sent to the Prussian descendants of Argentina as a thank you to the German motherland.

Material aid was an important part of Joey's expansion of German influence, and the material items emblazoned with the symbol of the German Empire and embellished with black, white, and red flags could only awaken the patriotic fervor of the Prussian descendants of Chile and Argentina more profoundly.

With real materials, it conveys the soft power of the German Empire.

6. On the basis of the above-mentioned actions, exert full influence on the governments of Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, fully support the pro-German forces of the people in the above-mentioned countries, politically support the Prussian descendants to enter politics under the premise that the Prussians control the army, give priority to the Prussian descendants to set up joint ventures economically, and culturally give priority to the selection of Prussian descendants to return to Germany for education.

Joey's approach was jokingly called the Pentephyl Plan by later generations of good deeds....

7. The Peruvian government can buy Russian industrial products in Germany that are not subject to German official restrictions, but it does not encourage German people to participate. (As for encouraging or discouraged, and how to guide it, Joey and the old prime minister tacitly agreed not to say it.) ）

8. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide all facilities for Peru's secret contacts with Russia.

9. The Prime Minister will hold high-level talks with the Russians to expound Germany's understanding of cooperation between Russia and France in South American affairs, and inform the top level of the pro-German faction in Russia through a special channel that they can take this opportunity to continue borrowing from France.

10. Germany will set up a special public opinion guidance department within the government to lead the propaganda of the British media. The most important task of this department at present was to spread the theory of the threat of Russia's overseas colonies in Britain and force Britain to participate in the game.

Looking at Joey's huge diplomatic plan, the old prime minister's hand turned, and in Joey's opinion, he didn't know whether it was the fifth or sixth cigar, obviously thinking about something.

After half a ring, the old prime minister finally spoke: "His Royal Highness the prince's plan is very large and ingenious, but it is still a little bit short, and it is the cornerstone of German diplomacy. ”
