Evans, the Lord of the Seals, had just returned to his office in Whitehall and sat down when his men came to report; Count John Lawrence Bald, Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, came to visit.

"This damn guy is going to make me smack in front of the Prime Minister." Lord Evans muttered in a low voice, rolled his eyes, and returned to the expression of wisdom beads on his face, and commanded his subordinates; "Invite him in, and remember to be polite."

"Yes, my lord."

It didn't take a few minutes

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Earl John Lawrence Bald walked in with a spring breeze on his face, and stretched out his hand from afar and said enthusiastically; "Dear Evans, I think you must have good news for me."

"That's right, John, going to Downing Street to lobby the Prime Minister in person is as simple as buying a cup of coffee on the street, I have got the good news you want, the Imperial Army will do everything to exterminate those Orientals, and the Royal Navy will fully cooperate, huh...... You'll be back in Australia in a few months to be cheered on. ”

Lord Evans' taunt was so sharp that Earl John Lawrence Bald froze for a moment, and then barely squeezed out a smile and said; "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."

touched a big nail, and at this moment, there were really 10,000 divine beasts flying over the head of Earl John Lawrence Bald, and the hearts of the other party were torn apart.

Don't think that Lord Evans is a zealous defender of white interests, but he has actually taken the rich benefits of the Commonwealth of South Australia.

The Commonwealth of South Australia paid for the operation and repair of its ancient castle outside London for 5 years, including the cost of hiring butlers, maids, governesses, cooks, gardeners, coachmen and other subordinates, only 15 gardeners were employed, plus the huge repair costs of the castle, the annual expenditure was as high as 4,300 pounds, and the total value of 5 years was more than 20,000 pounds.

Otherwise, Lord Evans can't fight with the white Australian community, so why should he be enthusiastic about the affairs of the South Pacific?

That was the domain of the Colonial Office, and it was not next to the duties of the Keeper of the Seals.

The Keeper of the Seals, although an inconspicuous role in the current Cabinet, is after all a front-seat member (the Cabinet members are seated in the front row of the lower house of Parliament). ), an out-and-out political officer, far superior in status and power to Earl John Lawrence Bald.

In the British administrative system, there are two kinds of affairs officers, elected administrative officers and bureaucratic officials, the former governor of New South Wales served by Earl John Lawrence Bald and the permanent secretary of the foreign office who returned to the homeland, both belong to the category of affairs officers, and the characteristics are that they do not need to go through the votes of the people, and they climb up the ranks in the bureaucracy, and the highest peak is the post of cabinet secretary.

There are also many administrative officers, from the county magistrates of the British mainland, the speaker of parliament, independent prosecutors, to the prime minister and a number of cabinet members, all of whom are administrative officers.

Earl John Lawrence Bald was not even a member of Parliament, and his status was far from that of Lord Evans, so he said with a smile; "I have served in Australia for many years, and I have a deep affection for the mountains and rivers and people there, and now the rampant Earl of Queensland dares to declare the founding of the country, which is undoubtedly a naked provocation to the majesty of the empire, and I think that the local white people will be affected by the war, and they will be devastated, as an upright gentleman, I cannot turn a blind eye to this, and I ask you to understand my urgency."

"I know John, and I understand your mood right now, but it will take time and more people to join in." Evans' face softened slightly, motioned for the other party to talk, and then said; "At the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street, I have expressed my concern to Robert and believe that the situation will definitely go in a good direction, there is no doubt about that, but we need to be patient."

Evans is a little irresponsible, and he means it very clearly;

I did what you asked me to do, and the gift worth more than 20,000 pounds will not need to be mentioned in the future, if you want to help, you must pay again, it is better to find more people to lobby together, the effect is better, otherwise you can only wait.

As for how long to wait...... Hehe, just wait.

If you want to affect major policy changes in the UK, you can't make a splash without hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Spend this little money to get good news, did you not wake up from your dream last night?

As far as Lord Evans knows;

The Earl of Queensland in Australia has a very large hand, in order to win over a large number of highly influential nobles such as the Duke of Victor's family, the Duke of Norfolk family and Viscount Edward Nathan, he has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, and there are interests every year.

Just a few years ago, His Royal Highness Edward, the British Crown Prince, tore his face and grabbed people in order to compete for the "French Rose", and there was a lot of uproar, and these big nobles in London all stood up to speak for the Earl of Queensland.

This is a sensational gossip scandal, although the royal family and officials tried their best to block the news, but almost everyone in London's upper class nobles knew about it, which was tantamount to tacit secrets.

Take this into account

Offending many people invisibly for the South Australian Federal Office, you must increase the fee, otherwise why should you block the mine for you without relatives and no reason? Is it really uncomfortable to be idle?

As for the fate of those native-born whites in South Australia, it is okay to give verbal support in private, and it is not negotiable to really exchange real money for real money to exert influence.

A moment of work

Earl John Lawrence Bald was sent out, and he went to the door, looked behind him, and spat hard into the ground; "All go to hell, you insatiable moths."

After venting, he was really helpless.

London's bureaucracy is not only extremely inefficient in decision-making, but also rampant in corruption, and the trend of extravagant comparisons is so bad that it is simply a vice in the womb.

The feudal kingdoms in Europe and even in the world are as black as crows in the world, but some of them have been blackened to the end, and the decaying ones can no longer be decayed, and some are slightly better, and they belong to the objects that can still be saved by hard work, and Britain should belong to the latter type.

It's useless to complain and lose your temper, the representative of the Federal Republic of South Australia in London is waiting for good news with his eyes wide open, and the Earl of John Lawrence Bald is also so active because he has been rewarded with a lot of money, otherwise he will help the upstream and downstream?

He thought about it for a while, and felt that he should coax the southern representatives first, and squeeze a little more oil and water if he coaxed a little more, the situation in Australia is not very good, if the Ocean Kingdom talks about things in Australia in the future, this big entry will be cut off.

Take advantage of this opportunity to make a little more if you can, at least to give hope to the white regime in the South.

The Earl of John Lawrence Bald then conveyed to the Southern delegates the results of the lobbying of the upper echelons of London, together with some stirring understanding, to the Southern delegates, who, in order to show the results of their activities in London, sent back a jubilant transoceanic telegram destined for New Zealand.

Now that it is the time of the war, the global telecommunications company, which is wholly owned by the Ocean Kingdom, has imposed a strict news blockade, and real-time information in Australia is difficult to obtain from the outside world, and only a few separate channels can transmit news.

One is for the Royal Navy's South Pacific Task Force to pass through British cruise ships, and the other is for New Zealand transit.

Most of all messages sent and received by the Free Commonwealth of South Australia are sent to the United States through New Zealand, and the delivery of mail between the two places is by small fast steamer, which may be delayed by a few days, but it is better than nothing.

In the era of information blockage, the consequences of the blockade of transoceanic cable telegraph lines by the Ocean Kingdom cannot be compensated for catastrophic.

The latest news from Australia happened at least half a month ago, and the slower ones happened two or three months ago, and it is not uncommon for the news to lag behind for half a year.

The tragic war that took place in Australia had little impact on the European and American worlds thousands of miles away, and for ordinary people in the European kingdoms, they would never set foot in that distant South Pacific country for the rest of their lives, and they did not care about it at all, so they simply ignored it.

At the end of the 19th century

More than ninety percent of the people in European and American societies are illiterate people who can't read a single word, following the ancient tradition of sunrise and sunset, horse-drawn carriages drive unhurriedly on hard stone roads, and bakery owners curse loudly after the homeless boy who stole a baguette while he was unprepared.

The sun rises and sets, and history runs according to the established trajectory;

On August 4, 1890, German bacteriologist Koch announced at the 10th World Medical Congress held in Berlin that he had discovered a new drug for the treatment of tuberculosis - tuberculin. The discovery sent shockwaves through the medical community, with Koch hailed as the "nemesis of the terminally ill."

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 22-year-old Huo Yuanjia competed with the martial arts master Du Mou, who was enthusiastic about helping others, and his good reputation for chivalry and righteousness spread abroad.

In the United States, Pierpon Morgan, a major banker, in the name of "big is beautiful", united more than 300 funders and joined forces to form the world's first "billion-dollar company" - American Steel Corporation.

The Wall Street Journal called the merger "the culmination of industrial capitalism," and Morgan became the leading investment banker on Wall Street.

In 1890, the State of Luxembourg became independent.

In the same year, the Free Commonwealth of South Australia was proclaimed, and shortly thereafter, the Northern Ocean Kingdom was proclaimed, and a serious confrontation between the North and the South led to the outbreak of war.
