Chapter 346: Diplomatic Strategy (1/4)
Placing a three-battalion Jewish regiment on the Liaodong Peninsula, far from the heavily guarded green paint area, was obviously not safe from the ears and eyes of the white-skinned people. The British minister www.biquge.info Ogner soon met with Tian Buzi about the reception of Zionists in the Far East and the provision of military training for them.
"Tian, what is your country's position on the issue of dealing with the Jewish Zionist movement? The massive military assistance you have provided to them has deeply disturbed some gentlemen in London, and are you not going to say something to me? Please stop fooling me with the excuse that you have similar experiences to them and feel sympathy for them. "It's obviously not the first time Ogener has asked Tenbuz this question.
"What would you like to hear, Mr. Minister? As an island nation, the Great Song Empire and the British Empire had much in common in foreign policy. We don't want any superpowers on the continent, so we need chaos! We share your desire for a continuous, controlled chaos to spread across the continent. Tian Buzi said lightly to Ogna.
"Tian, this reason does not explain your current foreign policy towards the Jews. As things stand, it is your focus to restrain the expansion of Tsarist Russia, but supporting Jews in Palestine will only further weaken the Ottoman Turkish Empire and thus reduce the military pressure on Tsarist Russia in the Balkans. Ogner was not convinced by the reasons given by Tian Buz.
"Haha, trust me, my friend. Whatever we do, the powder keg of the Balkans will hold back a large number of Tsarist Russia's forces. As for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, are you sure that after the countries of Eastern Europe became independent from its territory, the declining empire would still be able to maintain its previous influence in the Balkans? Don't be stupid, in order to balance Tsarist Russia, we have to support Germany at an appropriate level. Tian Buzi said.
The foreign policy of the Crossing Masses is not as simple as creating controllable chaos as Tian Buzi said, they are trying to ensure that the bloody chaos that will affect the entire European continent is not disturbed by the butterfly effect and can come as scheduled, well, preferably early. Then they replaced Eagle Sauce as the arms supplier to the warring parties, and finally entered the game at the right time to get the identity of a victorious country.
That's right, that chaos was the First World War that broke out in 1914. The world-class imperialist war fought by the great powers for repartition of the world and global hegemony, in which some 65 million people participated, ultimately killed more than 10 million and wounded 20 million, was one of the most devastating wars in European history.
The European countries, dragged into the quagmire of war, lost a large number of young and strong laborers, and experienced a major economic setback. They can not only make a fortune by selling arms and various war materials, but also gain more say in the post-war world by virtue of the advantages brought by the economic and military advantages of one over the other.
By this time, the prototypes of the two major military armies of the First World War had been basically formed. As early as 1882, Germany, Austria and Italy signed the "Treaty of Alliance", the Triple Alliance was formally established, and Germany became the core of the Triple Alliance. In order to deal with the "Triple Alliance", in 1892, France and Russia reached a military agreement, which stipulated that in the event of an attack by France or Germany-backed Italy, Russia would attack Germany with all its military forces, and in the event that Russia was attacked by Germany or the German-backed Austro-Hungarian Empire, France should attack Germany with all its military forces. This is also the reason why the Gallic chickens, when they obviously have no interests to make money, still follow the polar bears to toss around the ownership of the Liaodong Peninsula after the Sino-Japanese War.
John Bull is still not picking sides, and it is still playing a game of balance of power on the European continent, and it does not want Germany to be too strong, nor does it want to see Tsarist Russia expand too much in the Balkans.
The purpose of the Crossing Masses was to speed up the pace of Hans's military expansion, and then speed up his pace of challenging John Bull on the colonial issue, and finally achieve the goal of making World War I break out early.
Of course, the practice of providing armament technology to John Bull at the same time was not only to make the First World War more fierce, but also to prevent Eagle Sauce from intervening in Europe's high-end arms market in the future. Come to think of it, the weapons and equipment of the warring sides are all derived from the technology provided by the Crossing Public, and the eagle sauce has no soup to drink except for selling bullets and explosives.
As for the Manchurian adults who returned from the Sino-Japanese War, the traversers don't have the energy and don't want to get it for the time being. Once the Crossing Masses replace the Manchus as the masters of this ancient empire, it is highly likely that the two major military blocs currently facing off on the European continent will turn their attention to Asia. There is a large market in Europe for the emperor's "sleeping lion theory", and once the Great Song Empire reveals that its purpose is not just to acquire a colony in the Far East, it is very likely that the great powers will join forces to make this lion sleep again. Look at how many hardships China has gone through in the 21st century to rise, then I really have to say that it is the "credit" of the emperor's "sleeping lion theory"!
"Tian, we still don't want that brutal polar bear's power in the Balkans to expand too much, so we don't want the Ottoman Turkish Empire to divide its strength to take care of the back garden of Palestine in this stormy time." Ogna said.
Joke! If the polar bear doesn't swell, Hans won't be in a hurry to expand the army, are you making us drink the northwest wind!? This is obviously not in line with my Tian someone's style of doing things, this kind of fun brought by fanning the flames on other people's territory is so bloody that it can't be stopped, I care about your ball power balance! Tian Buzi complained in his heart.
"Rest assured, we'll keep the polar bear's attention in the Far East, and an operation to chop off its furry claws is in the works. I guarantee that the battered polar bear will not have any resources left to mobilize any more resources into the Balkans, but will instead use more resources to tilt towards Siberia to ensure its control over Lake Belga. Tian Buzi said with a smile.
"Haha, you've had this idea from the beginning, right? Haha, I love the song "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", what a wonderful love story! Personally, I agree with your country's claim to sovereignty over the shores of Lake Belga, and it has been verified that that area in the Tang Dynasty was indeed in the territory of China. Ogna laughed.
"Yes, Mr. Minister. I suggest that you turn a blind eye to the Zionist movement, for the influence of Jews in your parliament should not be underestimated. For the sake of your political future, I suggest that you should be in line with us on this issue. The Jews' dedication to the question of restoration is beyond imagination, so don't put your future on the line. "Tian Buzi persuaded Ogena like a friend.
"Well, thank you for the reminder, Tian, I'll take notice." Ogner said thoughtfully.
