【1355 Disraeli's Strain】

If you want to occupy it for a long time, then you need to send troops to the area militarily, set up various institutions administratively, and select agents from the local population to make the majority of natives feel at ease and submit, and then the cost increases; At the same time, resources will shrink and deplete.

As a result, costs increase and revenues decrease.

The unsustainable colonial model, coupled with the emerging independence movement in the present era of 1879, shook the foundations of the empire and inevitably led to economic decline.

The problems faced by Benjamin Disraeli and the politicians of Britain are precisely the ones that the Emperor has thought about well.

Huahuang actually has his own answer.

That is, the decline of Britain is an inevitable result, unless they can reform the political system in this era, but this is impossible, and even in the 21st century when the emperor is reborn, the British are still using the system for hundreds of years.

Once the system is formed, if it is to be changed, it is basically impossible to change the dynasty, because the people in the system are not one person, but a whole.

If you want to innovate, it is at most a small patch, similar to adding a patch to the computer system, which is two concepts from reloading the system, so the British can only decisively prepare for war and defeat the forces that dare to provoke.

However, the Emperor gambled that the British would continue to pursue a policy of diplomatic appeasement, as they had done with the Germans.

The Industrial Revolution not only brought about social changes, class changes, the rise of the bourgeoisie, the rapid development of productive forces and industry, and the enhancement of national strength, so Britain was not as enthusiastic about the technology of the second industrial revolution as the virtues of the time, he was still the British Empire, and the money was still not less, and it cost money to change technology.

However, the United States attaches great importance to the second industrial revolution, and it can even be said that the technological development of what we now call the second industrial revolution is in Germany and the United States, where many technologies appear in the United States, with strong industrial capabilities and perfect systems (the United States is not famous for its military, it is mainly the so-called money-making, and its strength is not obvious; Germany completed the reunification of Germany under the impetus of Prime Minister Bismarck, the hegemony of Europe was established, and France was beaten badly in the Franco-Prussian War.

The United States is mainly wealthy, and its world status is not like the world before the rebirth of the Chinese Emperor, the United States is still only a second-power position, commodities need to be sold, raw materials are needed, and the colonies are almost gone, so they can only do it.

World War I began, millions of European people died in the prime of life, the impact was huge, European countries were strongly hit, the United States was far away in North America, a lot of war money, World War II was even more so, strong economy, industrial capacity, the right to speak on the world economy in one fell swoop to establish the status of a great power.

With the current situation of the Chinese Emperor, as long as the domestic stability of China is ensured, no major powers have the ability to attack the Chinese mainland, let alone Britain and France, and now even if the world's top 20 powers and sub-powers are all added together, they will not be able to eat Huaguo.

Then Hua Huang only needs to wait patiently, and he can completely copy and surpass the path of the Americans, but Hua Huang will not wait stupidly.

If you want to establish the status of a great power, there is only one first, education, absolutely education, Germany must be like this, Bismarck's greatest merit, can also be said to be in education, the Prussian period reached more than 95% of primary school enrollment, and the development rate of German universities is also the fastest in this era.

The condition for the rise of Germany, in addition to the scientific decision-making of the country, is the high-quality labor force, and wisdom is the direct driving force for the early development of Germany.

A stable political environment, a large educated industrial population, a large and unified common market, the active introduction and development of new technology industries.

In fact, as long as there is no generational gap in labor productivity, population is the decisive factor, and there is already a clear gap between the population of Britain and France, not counting colonies, and the Soviet Union and Germany, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught up in the competition

The superiority of the system, not to mention the United States, is the world's superior national system.

Britain, on the other hand, was a predecessor of the Enlightenment, but its reforms were not thorough.

The economic system of the country, which did not depend on overseas colonies, enabled the United States to rise rapidly under the liberal capitalist system, relying on free trade and industrial production.

Britain, on the other hand, had long relied on the colonies' raw materials, labor, and markets, and was not adapted to free trade.

Therefore, after the rise of the national independence movement in the nineteenth century, Britain, which had lost a large number of colonies, collapsed.

The road that Germany and the United States used to be, and the emperor is now leading hundreds of millions of people in China to move forward.

"Mr. Prime Minister." Benjamin Disraeli's deputy came in.

"What's the matter?" Benjamin Disraeli asked.

"Otherwise, we will send a special team to rescue more than 100 agents captured by Huaguo, right? From Pakistan, it is not difficult to travel to Ashgabat. The deputy asked.

"Sending a special team from Pakistan? This is a good way, if you can really rescue the captured agents, it can greatly restore the dignity of the British Empire, but the army will not agree, if so, not only can the captured people not be rescued, but more people will be involved. Benjamin Disraeli replied. Besides, we have not declared war with China, and if we rashly send military personnel, it is equivalent to undeclared war, which will involve the British Empire in an even greater war. ”

"This Lieutenant Colonel Chuck has lost all the face of our British Empire, saying that what kind of special service expert is it, he was even caught by someone, and the nest in the entire Central Asian region has been wiped out!" The deputy grumbled indignantly.

"What's the use of talking about that now? When you issued a press release, you said that we were negotiating with China to resolve this matter, and that we had the greatest sincerity, and after a period of time, public opinion at home and abroad would gradually forget about this matter, and this was the only solution at present. Benjamin Disraeli sighed.

The deputy nodded, "It seems that this is the only way to do it at present, but sir, I am not only worried about the sentence of these agents by Huaguo, I am worried that Huaguo will expel all the British and our diplomats in China and completely break off diplomatic relations with the British Empire?" If that's the case, it will have an impact on our economy. ”

Benjamin Disraeli stood up angrily, "The economic level of our British Empire is five to ten times that of China!" However, we are instead subject to the Orientals, and I still can't figure it out! It's all because our government encourages our overseas trade too much and doesn't pay attention to the internal economic infrastructure! This question is like a fish bone stuck in our throat! One day, everyone in our empire will know that our prosperity is nothing more than false prosperity, because we are controlled by others everywhere, passive everywhere, and no matter what external decisions we make, we will be made into a mouse-bore by our own big overseas businessmen! What do businessmen know? In their eyes, there is only money! ”

The deputy heard Benjamin Disraeli complain angrily, it was difficult for him to see Benjamin Disraeli so angry, and comforted: "Sir, don't be too sad, we will send more profitable agents to continue to monitor the movements of Huaguo, then I will go out to do something." ”

Benjamin Disraeli waved his hand, signaling that the deputy could go out, and added, "Tell the people in the army that they would rather get less information about the other party, but also take care of the safety of the agent, and there must be no more incidents of agents being captured by Huaguo." ”

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, I will tell the military and the Viceroy of India on their part." The deputy said, and went down.

Benjamin Disraeli then called his secretary, "You inform the Indian Governor's Office, tell Robert Boul Wallitton to do a good job of the rebellion of the Afghan locals, and you can't just fight, no matter how many troops are not as useful as the local leaders." ”

The secretary agreed, and immediately went to do it.

These things were arranged to Benjamin Disraeli to breathe a sigh of relief, anyway, he had already done everything he could.
