Time flies, the years go by, and by the time we enter 1889, the world has become very dangerous.

The most direct place where this danger was exposed was in South Africa, where the war between the British and the Boers had reached a very anxious, even uncomfortable, point.

The British are constantly increasing their troops to South Africa, and in terms of data, it has reached 500,000!

These 500,000 people were all soldiers, and at that time, Teramsway and Orange, that is, these Boers, the total of men, women, and children together was only 500,000.

Therefore, this war is really fought very much, and it is impossible to say anything.

However, it has not yet won!

The Boers are really resilient on this side, these guys are now convinced, we are guerrilla warfare, what is the love of it, and we will not surrender to these British.

And now the policy of the British is also ruthless enough, they have now begun a scorched earth policy, and if they catch the Boers, they will be shot directly!

Anyway, if they continue to fight like this, it is absolutely impossible for the Boers to surrender, and the British already have this awareness, so they killed so hard, but they can't kill too many Boers now, but the Boers are like Xiaoqiang, and they can't kill endlessly.

Generally speaking, the British are quite good at settling accounts, they rarely fight such battles, 500,000 people, they didn't dare to invest so much in the New World back then, but now it's different, everyone knows now, what is this war for?

Gold, it's a good thing, the whole world knows it. In this battle, it will have gold. So. The British really tried their best to increase their troops here, and even the British took the initiative to come here because of the gold.

But in fact, there is indeed gold, but you must know that it is money that fights in wars, that is, this money is also disappearing in the roar of cannons, so. Whether it was earned or lost, this account is really difficult to calculate.

And the reason why this is the case, the Boer War became a mud war, there are many internal reasons for this, if it is only the Boers and the British, then the current situation, it is estimated that the winner can be divided in an instant.

Of course, there are people behind it......

Who is it?

In fact, the answer is also obvious, so the British are not idle. They had already reached a further alliance with France through diplomatic means. Anyway, let's Britain and France are brothers, and those grievances in history will be put aside, and as for the gold or something, I will share it with you when the time comes.

And in fact, the most critical side is Germany!

Salisbury knows very well that Germany is the key, or that the root of all this comes from Germany, and that country is going to rise!

The rise of a country on the European continent is a phenomenon that the British should guard against, because it will threaten Britain itself, and now this rising country, her helmsman, clearly sees the means that the British have been playing, that is, the existence of Bismarck, and some of his practices have made the British very headache.

Salisbury vs Bismarck, it's a good pair.

Therefore, Salisbury must deal with Germany, because only by getting Germany can the Boer War be put to rest, and everything else is completely useless.

Bismarck is really a powerful character, this guy can be said to be in Europe, and the wind and rain in Germany are smooth, but other countries are a bit miserable, but however, this person is a person of insight after all, and he knows that interests are important, so he can still talk about it.

Salisbury and Bismarck have clashed several times in the past few years, and the two sides have attacked and defended each other, and now, in 1889, the two sides have finally reached a basic agreement, and between Britain and Germany, can be stopped.

This is a good thing, of course, a big good thing, but a good thing is often easy to come out of a little moth.

"Bismarck! You actually made a deal with the British? ”

"Your Majesty! Listen to me explain that in the current world situation, a temporary relaxation of relations between us and the British is the best option and the most beneficial ......."

"Don't explain it to me! Those Brits are a bunch of liars! ”

"Your Majesty! ……”

Bismarck is very old now, and his energy is indeed no match for some young and vigorous people, not to mention that this person is a young emperor, Wilhelm II!

To say that things in this world are also very strange, for example, last year, Kaiser Wilhelm I died, which is nothing, because Wilhelm I has really been an emperor for many years, he is not in good health, he died, this is the law of nature.

But Wilhelm I's heir is interesting, originally this inheritance was quite good, that is, Wilhelm I's son Frederick III came to succeed the German emperor, but I didn't expect it.

In just 99 days, less than 100 days, Frederick III died of throat cancer!

Of course, the death of Frederick III caused a great sensation in Germany, but for a country, of course, one more person should be elected as emperor.

Wilhelm II came, you know, Wilhelm II's identity is very noble, Frederick III himself is the only son of Wilhelm I, and Wilhelm II is the eldest son of Frederick III, that is to say, Wilhelm II's bloodline is pure, unspeakably expensive!

But this guy is a flawed character, or in Oriental parlance, a guy with a lack of heart......

Well, Bismarck has also learned a lot of oriental words now, because someone from the Pacific Rim Federation came before, named Li Hongzhang, and he is also a promising ...... Geezer.

They are both old men, so although they don't understand the language very well, they also have a common language, and these two people have a good time together.

Having said that, this quarrel between Bismarck and Wilhelm II was nothing in the first place, anyway, Bismarck saw it this way.

Because even if Wilhelm II's father, Frederick III is still alive, then he doesn't have a good impression of Bismarck, let alone the new successor Wilhelm II, that is to say, anyway, he is not very good at dealing with the current new Kaiser, and Bismarck is psychologically prepared for this.

But however, he still has an idea of the current policy, that is, he is doing the right thing.

The war between Britain and the Boers was indeed supported by the German Empire behind the Boers, and this was also the policy formulated by Bismarck, which is actually very good.

Because of the current Europe, there is a very strange problem in the economy, that is, the European economy is a little sluggish, but this reason is very strange, you know, because of the large-scale application of electricity, as well as the emergence of internal combustion engines, automobiles, airplanes, these high-tech have made Europe's productivity have been greatly improved.

The word productivity, of course, is what Marx said, but sometimes, this guy said it was quite interesting, so Bismarck used it a little.

Europe's productivity has increased, but Europe's economy has not achieved rapid growth, a very important reason is that there is a big problem in Europe's currency issuance, real money is flowing out of Europe!

If there is not enough real money, then we will not dare to issue money on a large scale, and if the amount of money in the society is not enough, then economic development will naturally be restricted, and this will be the phenomenon of deflation.

The phenomenon of deflation is really not very good, although it seems that the purchasing power of money is getting stronger and stronger, because a mark can buy more things, but this will affect people's subjective initiative, that is, because everyone makes less money, so in investment, in terms of management, will be cautious, there will be no motivation.

The reason for this, which is really strange, is that the Jews shipped their gold and silver out of Europe!

And this move is simply a little laughable.

Where did the money that the Jews shipped out of Europe go?

At first, I went to the Pacific Rim Federation, but then I went to another place, Jerusalem!

It's really surprising, that is, this Jerusalem was originally promised to the Jews for them to establish a state, and this place is a verbal promise, anyway, European countries, as well as Britain, and even the Pacific Rim Federated States all support the Jews and allow them to establish a state in Jerusalem.

But you know, people only pay lip service to you, and they only support you Jews in attitude, but they don't really put it into action.

It's true, Bismarck had never heard of that country really helping them Jews, and he never took any real action, but in such a situation, it was basically verbal support, but the Jews themselves did it!

They actually did one thing, and that was to go to Jerusalem to buy land and buy a house......

Right now, Jerusalem is the place with the highest house prices in the world!

Well, this result was definitely unexpected by everyone, and no one expected it. In the beginning, the Jews just thought that since this place was supported by others, and this should be the place where we founded our country, then they should come and buy it.

As a result, housing prices are getting higher and higher, and a lot of other funds have been attracted, and now, many wealthy people in Europe have gone to Jerusalem to speculate in houses!

Everyone can see that there is a problem with this matter, this is definitely an economic bubble, but it is really profitable to speculate on houses over there!

If you want to go to a foreign country to speculate on a house these days, you have to bring real money, or currency like the pound, otherwise it won't work, so this is the outflow of a large amount of real money.

So, it's the current situation, it's very weird.

Then, since this is the case, Bismarck, an extremely intelligent man, of course he thought that we in Germany could not afford to spend so much with the British, because it would be of no one good to consume it like this.

No, there is one country that has benefited, and that is the Pacific Rim Empire! (To be continued.) )
