Chapter 1238: Acquisition of the United States

Prince Albert has been resentful lately of more than 20 million Britons who have actually been led by him for more than 20 years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe islanders are too narrow to look at a slap-sized England - even though their homeland is an unimaginably vast world empire, with Canada, India, and Australia alone covering a million square miles or more. But it never occurred to these islanders to regard any of these pieces as the foundation of the British Empire. In their eyes, these rich continents were merely raw material gathering bases and dumping grounds for the factories of England - the English people did not even consider Ireland home! Not to mention the more distant and rich continents? But they did not think, or did not want to think at all, that England's population, land, and resources would ultimately not be able to support the industrial and military power that ruled the entire colonial empire.

In fact, the world hegemony of the British Empire is already in jeopardy, and the reason for this is that the horsepower of the "steam engine" of England and Taiwan is too small to drive the giant ship of the British Empire! Needless to say, the Ming Empire was vast, rich in resources, and had a population of hundreds of millions, and even the mainland of France and the Roman Empire on the other side of the English Channel was twice as large as the British Isles and more than five times larger than England. And France also has a large area of North African land that is close at hand and can be firmly grasped. Moreover, the distribution of the French world empire was more concentrated, either around the Mediterranean or on both sides of the Atlantic, and there was a strong Roman Catholic Church for Napoleon III. Even so, Napoleon III made the creation of a Roman world empire the direction of the French - they French sought a unified Roman world empire, not a fragile empire maintained by balance and mutual checks.

The power of a world empire must be based on solid strength, not some clever balancing act! When will the islanders of England realize such a fact? The British Empire's ability to dominate the world in the past was not due to its ability to juggle right and wrong in Europe, but because of its overwhelming industrial superiority. Once this advantage is lost, how can England's world empire be maintained? The merger of Britain and the United States and the establishment of a joint Anglo-American empire in the New World is the foundation of the empire's thousand-year hegemony!

On the lawn of Windsor Castle, it is the fragrance of a summer night. The Earl of Palmerston, who had resigned as Prime Minister and had been promoted to count, was invited by the Empress and his wife to discuss with them the formation of an Anglo-American dualistic empire. The white-haired Count Palmerston sat in a circle chair, just frowning and drinking black tea, looking at his performance, it seemed that he had not adapted to the leisurely life after retirement, and he must still be worried about the country and the people in his heart.

Prince Albert sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he and Queen Victoria were not as good as Zhu Jishi and Napoleon III, they could be said to have created an empire with their bare hands, and they had completed unprecedented feats, so they had great prestige, enough to make the entire empire follow them. Thinking of this, he sighed softly, looked at Victoria, who was already a little older but still radiant next to him, and said with a smile: "Dear Victoria, I think the historic opportunity is already in front of the British Empire. As long as our generation of Britons is determined and willing to bear a small price...... In fact, such a cost is really insignificant, and it can be turned into a small cost that can be paid in the distant future through long-term government bonds. The need to build a new empire in the New World would have allowed an entire generation of Britons to prosper. And to leave behind a mighty British-American empire to our children and grandchildren! My Majesty, now that the fate of the British Empire is in your hands, you should stand up and go to London to convince Parliament and the British people! ”

Queen Victoria raised her eyes, as if moved by Prince Albert's words, nodded solemnly and said, "Dear Albert, I understand what you and Count Palmerston are thinking...... In the long run, our empire does need a strong core, and England is simply too small to drive the most powerful empire in the world. And the Anglo-American Empire, which integrated the United States of America and the Canadian Commonwealth, was clearly an incomparably powerful empire. However, we are here in England, not Japan. Every Englishman is proud of their country, and I think it is difficult for them to leave their homeland and start a new country in South America, as the Japanese do.

Of course, as the Empress of the Empire, I still have an obligation to lead the people of LinkedIn Glenn in the right direction. I will do my best to promote the merger of the British Empire and the future American Empire...... However, the interests of England must also be guaranteed and put first. Any attempt to abandon England will lead us to be abandoned by England first. We must not take such a risk. ”

Albert smiled bitterly, England and the Anglo-American Empire could not have both...... The only thing that would work for the British Empire was a complete merger with the United States of America! Rather than buying a stake in the United States and treating it as an independent subsidiary that can be liquidated at any time. He set his sights on the retired Count of Palmerston.

The Earl smiled faintly: "Your Highness, I think we should believe in the British system and the wisdom of the British people. As long as they know the benefits that full integration with the United States of America will bring to them and to their children and grandchildren, they will be on our side. But until then, we can't rush it, and the Anglo-American merger should be a long process that will move forward steadily. The people of the United States of America could undoubtedly receive some help, but they should rebuild their country primarily through their own efforts to repay their debts. ”

……

And just as the British were preparing to buy over the dilapidated "bankrupt company" of the United States of America. A dilapidated looking four-masted schooner arrives in the port of Danzig in West Prussia, Germany, where the weather is at its best of the year. The clouds are blue, and the sea breeze is warm. The wharf is full of cargo waiting to be loaded and unloaded, mostly agricultural products from the Republic of Poland. This sample of socialism had just ushered in a bumper harvest, and the new socialist republic could make a big profit, taking advantage of the fact that the prices of the European grain market were rising because of the temporary lameness of the large supplier of the United States.

Moreover, the current Polish-German relations were very good, and socialism with Polish characteristics did not frighten the German rulers. On the contrary, they also think that Poland's economic system is quite good, and there is something to learn from. Moreover, Engels, who is now leading the economic construction of Poland, is a German in his ability. According to German officials close to Wilhelm I and Bismarck, the two heads of the empire were very optimistic about Mr. Engels' talents and wanted to invite him back to Germany to serve as a high-ranking official such as Minister of Economy.

As for the French and Roman Empires, they did not realize the danger of Poland as a socialist country, and continued to provide Poland with security guarantees. The newspapers of the entire French imperial system also sang the praises of Polish socialism almost unanimously.

As a result, Poland has become the most desirable place for working people or representatives of working people all over the world. On every passenger ship that sails into the port of Danzig, there are always a few ** people who come with pilgrimage thoughts to seek the truth. On board the Polaris, a sailing ship belonging to the French Atlantic shipping company, were pilgrims from the United States of America. They were J. Weidemeyer, president of the American Workers' Association, Friedrich Zolge, president of the GCIST Club in New York, and Henry Bush, a former boilermaker from New York State, the chairman of a small party called the Socialist Workers' Party of America. They had all been invited by the International Workingmen's Association based in Poland, and just a month before the United States of America had paid reparations of up to £450 million, and the large Union troops stationed in its territory had withdrawn. Now, it's time for the first home of the International Workingmen's Association to help the suffering American people! r1152
