Chapter 532: Salisbury's Glorious Isolation!
After Emperor Meiji made that speech, everyone later called it the "Declaration of the World", of course, this was the definition given by Emperor Li Mengyang...... There's no idea how creative this guy is in coming up with a name.
However, after that, of course, there was a certain amount of confusion on the Japanese side, and many Japanese people were not convinced, not convinced!
Anyway, there were rebellions everywhere, and everyone was a little bit of a rebel, so it wasn't good, so MacArthur went around to quell the chaos.
The point is, this rebellion was followed by the original emperor's people, and there were people like Ito Hirobumi to support it, so it must have been easy and happy.
Japan is now over!
And at this time, suddenly, Liszt, the former foreign minister of the American Empire and now the envoy of the Pacific Rim Federation, ran to London, England!
What did Liszt go for?
"Hello Marquis Salisbury!"
"Mr. Liszt is gracious!"
See this Marquess of Salisbury!
Salisbury, he is the successor of the previous Disraeli, the current leader of the British Conservative Party!
Disraeli, the former leader, came down last year and died earlier this year. And the successor is this Salisbury, and this guy is not a rookie.
Salisbury's current position in the British government is Foreign Secretary, and this guy is really good at playing diplomacy.
Needless to say, this person is called a diplomatic genius by almost the world's political elites, and this person is indeed very set.
So. Liszt came to meet with him. That's really right. But what exactly?
The next day, the Marquis of Salisbury went to the House of Commons, where he made an impassioned speech.
"Gentlemen! The situation of the world has changed dramatically, and we must follow the trend of the times to embrace the new future! Therefore, the current diplomatic strategy of our British Empire should be undergoing a major adjustment! We have to face our newfound friends! Yes, everyone should know who I'm talking about. And I also used the word friend......"
"Oooo
“NONONO!”
"Salisbury, you idiot! It was a bunch of yellow-skinned monkeys...... Oh, well, there are white people, but none of those white people are planted! ”
The House of Commons in the United Kingdom is actually a place for quarrels, and in order to facilitate quarrels, the seats on both sides are arranged like a rival ring......
So, when Salisbury hasn't finished speaking, it's time to start arguing!
Quite simply, all of you here are the British elite. How could these guys not know what Salisbury was going to say?
Pacific Rim Federation, and friends!
In fact. What the Marquess of Salisbury wants to say is that we, the British Empire, should establish an alliance with the Pacific Rim Empire!
Yes, an alliance, but this alliance, this in the UK, it is really different!
It's hard!
Why is it difficult?
Because there are so many things in it, but if you can grasp the key, it is also very simple......
But in fact, just last night, Salisbury, after meeting Liszt, immediately met Queen Victoria, and the old queen was quick to support him.
Then Salisbury went to Gladstone, who was now in power, the leader of the Liberal Party.
The two sides have basically agreed, but now in the House of Commons, this ......
That's right, it's mostly Conservative MPs who are opposed!
Why would one's own people oppose one's own leader? Isn't that weird?
In fact, you can see the clues from Salisbury's actions, he is looking for opponents, as well as the Queen of England.
He knew that his party would be against it!
So why?
Because one word, one word that hasn't come out yet, that's ......
Glorious isolation!
The word glorious isolation did not appear until much later, because by that time, many people of insight understood the means of the British play, so they gave them such a word.
In other words, the word did not appear, but the actions of the British had already come out!
To put it bluntly, it's the British who have been isolating themselves!
Further, the implementation, implementation, and initiation of this isolated policy are actually the most enthusiastic in their Conservative Party...... Yes, in fact, there are many other parties that support it, otherwise Salisbury would not have looked for an opponent.
The so-called policy of isolation, that is, not allied with any one country, is very simple to understand.
But this policy is actually a basic national policy of the United Kingdom for a long time!
Yes, if you look at history, the British have never been allied with anyone before this time, very few, very few, it seems that they have been allied with Prussia back then, but that alliance.
In the words of Frederick the Great of Prussia......
"Lao Tzu made an alliance with you British, and poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!" Really, this is definitely a portrayal of Frederick the Great's heart!
Just give some money, and nothing else...... Knock on the door and die.
As for why this is so, Salisbury, a diplomatic genius, he understands very well, and Li Mengyang, because he is a traverser, he also understands.
So...... That's right, the trick proposed by Li Mengyang is that our Pacific Rim Federation and your British Empire, let's form an alliance, okay?
Salisbury immediately agreed to this trick, and he agreed very much!
You know, it's not easy to agree with something, and it's even more difficult to do the exact opposite of what you do now.
So why did Salisbury do this? What about such an agreement?
Because he knows that an alliance with the Pacific Rim Federation is actually the best 'isolation' policy!
Doesn't that sound like?
yes, you're still isolated after the alliance?
Salisbury, however, saw it very clearly. That's isolation. And the best kind of isolation of the British Empire at the moment!
In fact. If you are familiar with history, then you will know that there will be a British alliance called the 'Anglo-Japanese Alliance'.
So, isn't this an alliance? Aren't the British also able to form alliances?
That's right, but in fact, this alliance is no different from isolation, because it is accompanied by that word, glorious isolation!
In fact. The so-called isolation is the isolation of maritime countries relative to land countries, to put it bluntly, that is, the current British Empire, the hegemon of the sea, if they form an alliance with the new Pacific Federation, then both of them are maritime countries, this is actually a kind of isolation of another situation, which does not violate the kind of policy that Britain has always had!
That's what Salisbury sees, the theoretical basis, to put it bluntly. In fact, Lao Tzu is changing the soup but not the medicine.
But not many people can see this, especially those who have been pursuing a policy of isolation. That is, they are the Conservatives themselves.
But that's okay......
"Gentlemen! We should now abandon the old idea, that is no longer appropriate, the current Pacific Federation is powerful, on a par with our British Empire, but you must know that our British Empire is not clinging to them, but they clinging to us! And, after the alliance, at least we don't have to estimate our backs......"
As soon as these words came out, many people began to think about it.
What does this mean?
It's very simple, and that's a great benefit of this alliance!
What time is it?
At the end of the 19th century, what were the British doing in this era?
Crimean War, fight the Russians!
The Russo-Turkish war, helping the Turks, and later Turkey handed over its country's financial system to the British.
Baron Reuters controlled almost most of Persia, which caused discontent in Russia......
In addition, there are many, many more, anyway, the British in recent decades, it seems that Russia is not pleasing to the eye!
Is it really that unpleasant?
You know, from the perspective of royal blood, the Queen of England is very, very close to the Tsar's branch, how close is it?
Right now, George, the son of Crown Prince Edward VII, the future George V, and the current Tsar's crown prince, the future Nicholas II, are about the same age, and they look like a pair!
These two people stand together, and you can barely tell which of these two people is who.
To put it bluntly, it's really a family, but you see, everyone is very happy!
Why is it so badly torn?
That's it, Britain, not allowing a strong country to emerge on the European continent!
This can be reversed, that is, once there is a strong country on the European continent, then it will threaten the security of Britain!
All British foreign policy has always been like this, that is, the previous Tudor dynasty, the last queen was Elizabeth I, this queen has been a CHU woman for a lifetime, why?
This woman is just using herself to marry and play tricks on others.
Let the monarchs of the European continent fight, and if you win, I will marry you, and the result will be ......
Come back with another one......
As a result, Elizabeth I never married herself off in her life...... As for not being a CHU woman in the end, then this one is ......
In other words, in fact, the British high-level people know very well that where is the biggest threat?
Right on the continent!
As long as there is a strong country on the European continent that unifies Europe at once, then Britain will face a great threat, and this threat will wipe out their country.
In the second half of the 19th century, the most happy European country to toss is Russia, and they want to find an outlet to the sea!
Outlet to the sea?
Can this thing give you the Tsar?
Watch and hit!
That's how the war was fought, and most of the main benefits were taken by the British, and now I go back and look at Napoleon III's joke......
This guy is purely a ...... who is being used Ay~
Therefore, Salisbury sees very clearly that as long as it is now allied with the Pacific Rim Federation, then Britain can focus more on dealing with Russia!
And ah, that Liszt also said that the Pacific Rim Federation will also deal with Russia! (To be continued.) )
