"Your Majesty, if Britain and China go to war again, our economy will be affected, and now is the critical moment for China to complete its basic industry. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Princess Katrina Kaaf said softly and worriedly.

How could Emperor Hua not know these things?

It is not that the emperor is not ready to tear his face with the British again, but he did not expect that the British would react so drastically, and now there is not much difference from going to war directly.

The development process of this matter was a little beyond Hua Huang's expectations, but it did not reach the point of chaos.

Because the British had a date to limit China's withdrawal from Japan's Kyushu Island, but this date has not yet arrived, otherwise, this time it would really be a direct war.

The emperor did not panic at all, because when he sent Ekaterina Klimova back to the Central Asian provinces early to intervene in the situation in the Middle East, the emperor had already considered what the British would do next.

"From now on, speak hard to the British, in addition to declaring war, be as tough as you can, in addition, urge Ekaterina Klimova to quickly intervene in this war between Afghanistan and Britain, fighting a war is not only about munitions, arms may be delayed, and medicine is absolutely impossible to refuse." Emperor Hua said to Princess Katrina Kaf.

War materials are materials that need to be consumed in large quantities in war.

Metals, weapons and spare parts, food, surgical drugs, clothing, etc., that is, strategic goods.

For one side of an ongoing war, the provision of war materials is sometimes even greater than the support that can be given by sending troops directly into the war, because the two sides will cooperate in the war, and there is also a question of trust, a question of cooperation, not to mention countries with which they have not interacted before.

Although China's national strength still needs to be improved, Huaguo's innate conditions are the best compared to any country in this era.

Because Huaguo's strategic materials are sufficient!

A country with a large population base is not afraid of war.

Strategic materials are material materials that play an important role in the national economy, people's livelihood and national defense.

It includes major industrial products, agricultural products and mineral products. According to the depth of processing, it can be divided into raw materials, materials, semi-finished products and finished products.

Due to the different resource conditions, economic and technological development levels, and military strategies of various countries in the world, the selection criteria and specific classifications of strategic materials are also different.

However, on the whole, the determination of strategic materials is generally considered from three aspects: first, the importance of the national economy and people's livelihood, and important materials should be included; Second, the domestic resources and production capacity, small reserves, low output, dependence on foreign supply and poor reliability of materials should be included; Third, countries with a high level of scientific and technological and industrial production and economic and technological development generally identify rare metals as strategic materials. The Soviet Union included all mineral raw materials, fuels, chemical products, and agricultural products of special importance to the national economy and people's livelihood as strategic goods, regardless of their origin.

Princess Katrina Kafu saw that the Emperor Hua had made up her mind and decided to go toe-to-toe with the British, so she could only nod, "So, we are going to completely tear our faces with the British?" Your Majesty is ready for war? ”

"If we can't fight, the British are just fierce and inward-looking, and I haven't finished my words, from now on, I will speak to the international community, and in addition, without making substantive contact with France, I will recognize some of France's rights and interests in Asia, especially the ambiguous dividing line of interests between Britain and France." Huahuang Road.

Princess Katrina Kaaf suddenly realized, "Is Your Majesty trying to stir up relations between Britain and France?" It's just that they have always advanced and retreated together, and they are embarrassed, is it useful for us to provoke? ”

"There is no such relationship between Lao Tie in the world, especially between the big powers, Britain and France have been fighting for hundreds of years, where will they provoke? International politics is the law of the jungle. Axiom, friendship, and justice are all meant to be heard by the common people, and a qualified politician always considers interests. Britain was once a global empire, its interests once covered the whole world, and the various ethnic, religious, economic, military, political, racial, national, tribal and other issues it dealt with were far more complex than those encountered by most countries, so British politicians also had a deeper understanding of interests, which was not only the thinking of a politician personally. Hua Huang said firmly.

Princess Katrina Kaaf nodded, "Your Majesty has a point, it is time to ease relations with France, I made a mistake before, I have always regarded France and England and France together. ”

"This is indeed a mistake, and a very serious one, it must not be seen together, even if it is an ally, for the sake of national interests, let alone betrayal, it is normal to declare war at any time. Also, while co-opting France, when opposing the British, it is also necessary to pay attention to the wording, the British discussed it for so long before they decided to be tough on us, and many of the nobles must have been against the war! Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to dividing public opinion in the UK. President Meng said.

Princess Katrina Kafu promised: "Okay, I see, these things will be taken care of by the British Bureau of Statistics!" Controlling public opinion has always been the specialty of the Bureau of Statistics. ”

The emperor explained to Princess Katrina Kaf, and the whole person relaxed a little, and Princess Katrina Kafu also relaxed a little, Princess Katrina Kafu was most afraid of not knowing what to do, and she was not afraid of the complexity of doing things.

The Emperor has never looked at the two great powers together, so why is the relationship between Britain and France hot and cold?

Historically, these two countries have always loved and killed each other, influenced each other and disliked each other.

The relationship between Britain and France was roughly divided into two phases, bounded by the end of the 16-Hundred Years War.

Prior to this, the dispute between the two countries was mainly between the king of England and the princes of France.

Therefore, the British king had to balance his rights and interests in Britain and France, and various disputes with the French king.

After that, the British crown lost its territory in France, mainly developed towards the sea, and adopted a continental balance of power policy on the European continent.

France's ideals were simple, it had always dreamed of dominating the European continent, and the contradictions between Britain and France before the world war mainly revolved around these two aspects.

In Europe, the three countries that the emperor despises the most, that is, Britain, France, Italy, Britain and France, the mud can't support the wall, especially France, such a good geographical conditions, such a big unified country, which has completely exploded Germany, but has been suppressed by the British, in the process of Germany's rise in recent years, watching Germany grow like a pervert and do nothing.

There is also the Kingdom of Italy, which the Chinese emperor is visiting now, which is an international joke, which can build the best warships and the best weapons, but as soon as there is a war, the chain will be dropped, and it will always be cannon fodder under the big brother. Always first-class armaments, second-rate or even third-rate military power.

The Chinese Emperor dared to argue with Britain so directly, but also because the Chinese Emperor had seen through the foreign policy of the British, and the foreign policy that the British firmly held was two words -- balance of power! The tolerance and cultivation of strong opponents are all due to the British.

Unless it is an opponent like the Qing government, which will fall as soon as it is pushed, otherwise, Britain actually does not dare to do anything about any big country, although China is still in its infancy, but after the reunification, China is already a big country in the hands of the Chinese emperor, which is an indisputable fact in the international community!

The Emperor is confident in this, otherwise there would be no need to go to Europe to engage in diplomacy in person.

Why was the nineteenth-century international system based on the balance of power?

Because if the balance of power is not maintained, there will be another Napoleonic empire.

No European country wants to be ruled by someone else.

Britain's continental balance of power policy is one of the reasons!

The mainland's balance of power policy is mainly because of national interests.

British capitalist industry and commerce were developed and needed vast overseas markets and colonies, and this policy was pursued for a long time in order to safeguard the interests of the bourgeoisie and to compete for and control the hegemony of Europe and the world.

Britain established the capitalist system in the early 17th century through the bourgeois revolution; In the mid-18th century, it became the world's largest colonial empire and mastered maritime supremacy; In 1840, Britain's industrial output accounted for about 45% of the world's total industrial output, and foreign trade accounted for 21% of the world's total trade, and it was in the position of "world factory".

The objective conditions are inseparable from her unique geographical location and strong sea power.

Britain is an island country, located on the edge of the European continent, and can sit back and watch the battles between the great powers on the European continent; At the same time, the struggle of France, Germany, Russia, and other countries for continental hegemony has never ceased, and this has also created objective conditions for Britain to pursue this policy.

The idea of the British is actually very simple, unite to resist France, unite to defeat Russia, unite to control morality, and support Germany and suppress France.

When it comes to-stirring sticks, the Chinese emperor thinks that the British themselves are the biggest-stirring sticks, and they will always be the characters who shout and scold.

Therefore, the Chinese emperor had illusions that Britain did not dare to declare war at the end.

After Princess Katrina Kafu got the direct instructions of the Emperor, she went out to implement the plan of the Emperor, and now the division of labor between the Emperor and Princess Katrina Kafu is very clear, and the Emperor of China is pointing fingers at the major policies, explaining her thoughts and intentions clearly, and Princess Katrina Kafu is the most faithful executor of the Emperor.

The main specific measures of Britain's "balance of power policy" were as follows: In the 17th and 18th centuries, in order to compete for European hegemony and world colonial hegemony, it fought many wars with France, defeated France, and established world colonial hegemony.

From the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century, he organized and led seven anti-French alliances and intervened in the French Revolution, with the aim of competing for the world market and hegemony and breaking Napoleon's domination of Europe.

In the first half of the 19th century, Tsarist Russia expanded into Europe and became a great power on the European continent, which seriously affected Britain's continental interests. In order to fight for the Balkans, France defeated Tsarist Russia in the Crimean War of 1853-1856.

In the second half of the 19th century, the contradictions between the popularization of law intensified and the Franco-Japanese war broke out. Later, due to the Franco-German contradictions, it developed into a confrontation between the Triple Alliance and the Franco-Russian military entente. Britain maintained "glorious isolation".

The rise of Germany at the end of the 19th century seriously threatened Britain's interests on the European continent and the whole world, and the Anglo-German contradiction became the main contradiction of imperialism.

Britain successively adjusted its relations with France and Russia, forming a Triple Entente and a confrontation with the Triple Alliance with Germany as the core. and united France and Russia to defeat Germany in World War I.

To put it bluntly, to ensure the interests of Britain, it is necessary to maintain the absence of great powers on the European continent.

The Vienna system and the Holy Alliance are all to ensure the balance of power, and there will be no more Napoleonic Empire Holy Alliance!

It is precisely for these reasons that the Emperor dared to be tough on Britain again and again, and throwing an olive branch to France, even sacrificing the interests of some small countries in Asia, is also the method that the Emperor Hua had thought of to deal with the British before!

If the Manchu Qing really left a little legacy to the Chinese emperor, perhaps it was China's status as a great power in Asia!

This cannot be counted on the head of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it should be said that since Qin Shi Huang opened the world to unify Greater China, the whole of Asia has been centered on China!

This point can help President Meng to play diplomatic tricks in the international community under the condition that his strength is not enough, so that he will not be unable to do anything, and the recognition of the status of Huaguo as a traditional power by the entire Asian country is the greatest weapon of the Chinese Emperor.
