Chapter 1484: And Russia
Zhu Jishi, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was woken up from his sleep in a trance, but he still closed his eyes and didn't want to move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
has already abdicated as the emperor, why is there still someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night? hugged the delicate and gentle body of Nanben High School in his arms, and Zhu Jishi continued to sleep.
"Jason, Jason, news from Europe, mass protests from Londoners, Queen Victoria announces her abdication!" ”
"Emperor Taishang," Takako Kusumoto had already woken up, and when he heard the news outside, he knew that he had to wake up Zhu Jishi, "Britain is revolutionary!" ”
When Zhu Jishi heard the word "revolution", he immediately came to his senses. As the most reactionary emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the world and the de facto supreme leader of the Great Chinese Empire, Zhu Jishi was extremely afraid of "revolution".
"Revolution! Where is the revolution taking place? Zhu Jishi sat up suddenly, revealing his muscular upper body.
"It's the revolution in England, and the abdication of Queen Victoria!" Kusumoto Takako hurriedly got out of bed and brought a nightgown for Zhu Jishi to put on for him.
"Britain?" Zhu Jishi put on his dressing gown and sat down on the sand in the bedroom. Takako Kusumoto also found her nightgown and put it on, and then went to open the door for Maria.
, is Zhu Jishi's de facto office director, and all the news and excerpts sent to Zhu Jishi must be read by her first. So at night, like Zhu Jishi, he walked in with a yawn in his nightgown.
"Jason." Maria shouted Zhu Jishi's foreign name, which only she and Mathilde would call in front of Zhu Jishi. "Mass protests in London, England, against the royal family and the bourgeois government! Protesters surrounded the Prime Minister's residence and Buckingham Palace. The Empress has announced her abdication, but the protests continue! ”
"Britain is now ...... Republic? Zhu Jishi hesitated for a moment and asked.
"I don't know yet," "It's a mess in London right now, and there's all sorts of news." There was some news that Crown Prince Edward would ascend to the throne, while others said that there had been an uprising in London. Queen Victoria is on ...... Guillotine! ”
"Won't it?" Zhu Jishi frowned, although he was an enemy of Queen Victoria. But it's not the kind of life-and-death relationship. In particular, after the revolution in the United States, a Britain that lost North America but retained India is the most in China's interests -- such a Britain must be China's agent in Europe, and this Britain exists. The Roman Empire never wanted to unite Europe!
But if Britain is like the United States, it will make some kind of revolutionary committee and slaughter Queen Victoria's family...... This India is going to say goodbye to Britain anyway. Moreover, it is very likely that the Roman Empire will intervene and bring the Jacobite to power, so that Britain will become Rome's henchman. Once Britain and Rome were united, the combination of industry and population would be able to overwhelm the German Empire!
Maria...... Do you think it's possible for the UK to be the same as the US? Zhu Jishi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any result.
"Probably not...... Not yet, right? "The United States is cornered. Not only was the war devastated, but the economy collapsed completely, with millions of refugees gathered in New York alone. The UK is not there yet. But...... Britain has already suffered a lot in the war, and their economy may become unsustainable at any time, and the crisis will get out of control. ”
"Britain will become a republic?" Zhu Jishi took the teacup handed over by Takako Kusumoto and took a sip of tea, "Will Napoleon IV use this as an excuse to interfere?" ”
"It's hard to say...... Revolutions in Europe tend to have a gradual process, once the people are in trouble. It is often difficult to control, and it is very easy to have aggressive behavior! -- The revolution that overthrew the Orleans dynasty. She also participated! Naturally, we know how the revolution in Europe broke out, and we know better that there is an inevitable connection between the revolution and the economic crisis. Britain's loss of Australia, North America, and the Straits Settlements were not a problem, and the anger of the people would subside sooner or later. But once the pound collapses, and the basic rations of the people in London and Manchester are not supplied, the storm of revolution will sweep through Britain at any time!
And the matter of revolution is easy to stir up, but it is difficult to calm it down! Now Empress Victoria's abdication is likely to be just the beginning - unless the Roman Empire and the German Empire are willing to provide enough financial and material resources to aid Britain at this time, but how can such a thing happen? If the British Empire had collapsed because of the revolution, Napoleon IV and Mathilde I would have woken up in their dreams with a smile.
"As to whether Rome will intervene with troops, it depends on the extent to which the English Revolution has unfolded." , and said, "If it really gets to the United States, Napoleon IV will definitely send troops to intervene!" ”
A republic and a socialist republic are still not the same. If Britain only becomes a republic, then it is only the royal family on the big 6 in Europe that will be feared, but if it becomes a socialist republic...... Then the capitalists of Rome and Germany have to jump! When the time comes, Napoleon IV may not be able to interfere if he wants to.
"What a surprise!" Zhu Jishi gently turned the teacup, "Everything must be prepared for the worst, in case Rome sends troops to intervene, how should we deal with it?" ”
, said: "We should abandon Russia immediately!" ”
"Abandon Russia?" Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and nodded heavily, "Good idea!" Maria, you are really my female Zhuge ! ”
……
"Abandon Russia? Why? ”
On the Palace of Nourishing the Heart of the Hot Spring Palace, Emperor Xuanwu of the Ming Dynasty, who came to ask Zhu Jishi for peace, was stunned when he heard Zhu Jishi's response to the British problem. Britain is making a revolution, why should it abandon Russia?
"Because the revolution will spread to Petersburg." Zhu Jishi said lightly, "Once the revolution is born in Petersburg, the Germans will achieve the final victory in the war against Russia, and a powerful German Empire will appear in the middle and east of Europe!" ”
A strong Germany, of course, was used to contain the Roman Empire. Germany's geographical position made it very vulnerable to Rome and Russia, and if the Tsar continued to rule Russia, the Bonaparte and Romanov dynasties would soon choose to join forces. And a red Russia would not easily join forces with a reactionary Rome.
"What does Father mean...... Let Germany contain Rome? Zhu Guoxiong frowned, "What about India?" ”
"Don't move for the time being." Zhu Jishi thought for a while, and then said, "Britain, the European-stirring stick, cannot be easily abandoned, unless it is completely controlled by Rome or becomes a socialist country." ”
If Britain really was controlled by Rome, of course, it could not let it keep India anymore. And once Britain becomes a socialist country, then Britain will not need colonies...... The socialist way of development is more progressive and does not need to be colonial.
"Xiong'er, don't tear your face there in the Romanov dynasty." Zhu Jishi turned the topic back to Russia, India is nothing more than a piece of fat, a question of whether to eat it, or how to eat it. The Russian Revolution, on the other hand, was a major issue that would affect the world pattern in the coming decades or even centuries.
"Father means to keep the Romanov dynasty in a breath?"
"That's right, take as much breath as possible." Zhu Jishi said, "Build a small kingdom for them in Western Siberia to buffer." If not, let's expand westward. ”
"If you expand westward...... How is the site allocated? Zhu Guoxiong asked tentatively.
"You and Guoxuan can discuss it yourself." Zhu Jishi waved his hand, "But if your brother Guoxuan borders Russia of the National People's Congress, life will not be easy!" ”
"Erchen knows." Zhu Guoxiong smiled slightly. How could he not have this measure? Xihua's territory is not as good as Donghua, Beihua, and Nanhua, and it is a closed place without access to the sea, and the difficulty of economic development is not low.
……
"Long live the Republic! Long live universal suffrage! Down with the dynasty......"
Outside Buckingham Palace, the crowd gathered at this time still did not disperse. The news of Queen Victoria's abdication has been announced, and Crown Prince Edward is ready to ascend the throne, but the anger of the people in London has not subsided.
"The population is still not coming back to reason! Mr. Xiang, what should we do now? Victoria, who had abdicated, had a look of fear on her face, "Shouldn't we leave London for a while?" ”
, this minister who was ordered to be in danger already felt that the problem was very serious, and the empress's announcement of abdication did not completely calm the anger of the people! The crowds marching in protest on the streets of London did not decrease much. At the meeting of the House of Commons of the British Parliament just this morning, the members of the parliament also took a attitude, and everyone did not seem to be firmly on the side of the royal family - there is no doubt that the British Empire lost the war! Someone has to be in charge now, and maybe the British royal family is the best victim, right?
What's even more troublesome is that the economic crisis, which has been covered up and suppressed before, has begun to be fully exposed! The current economic crisis is not a crisis of surplus in which there is too much to sell, but a full-scale crisis caused by a long-term large-scale war, especially a defeat! (To be continued)
