"The cowboys in the United States were beaten by the Australian shepherds, and ninety percent of them will lose the war, but I think the Australians are also uneasy and kind if they want to involve the European powers, and London is divided on this, I think...... This could be a good opportunity for Viscount Toranomon to perform. ”

"You're inclined to let me convince my father to intervene in this matter?"

"Bingo, you're a smart guy...... Man, you must know that the current war in North America is where the major strategic interests of the foreign countries lie. They have a lot of ideas about the American cowboys, but they are concerned about the London idea of upholding a fair position and maintaining the world order, and many things are restricted, but it is different when everyone works together. ”

Speaking of which

Churchill squeezed his eyes, looking like I am thinking about you with my heart, for a smart person like Li Jianyang, the rest of the things don't need to be explained.

Viscount Humen contributed to the promotion of the national strategy, can he still benefit less?

Li Jianyang is not stupid, he naturally knows the reason why his brother is used to sell, he blinked his eyes and said; "Churchill, tell me honestly, are you advocating involvement?"

"Why not, man." Churchill did not speak dark words in front of the bright people, and Churchill bluntly expressed his attitude;

"I can't think of a reason to refuse, you must know that the United States is the largest economy in the world, if you can take a bite, it is much fatter than the ten Great Qing Kingdoms combined, what a tempting benefit?

With this, we can throw all those hypocritical hypocrisy into the Atlantic, and we can trample on international justice and justice, which is the reality of the era of big ships and huge guns.

The Admiralty could easily build 100 battleships without having to pay a penny from the Treasury.

As long as this happens, the Admiralty and the War Office will stand firmly on my side, as well as those who benefit from it.

Although my mother is from the United States, it doesn't mean anything?

As a descendant of the noble lineage of the Duke of Marlboro, I have devoted my life to Great Britain and to His Majesty the King, so I am in favour of being one in one.

In London, the lobby outside the United States is very strong, and they have joined forces with despicable Jews to corrupt some undetermined politicians with money and interests.

The United States has huge commercial interests in London, and vice versa.

It's a pity...... We can't stop these dirty deals from happening just yet. ”

Li Jianyang thought about it seriously, still frowning and asked; "That sounds a bit of a mess, let's be honest, what do you need me and my father to do?"

"It's a good thing, my Sancho Panza." Churchill looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was near, he whispered;

"The formal declaration of war is a very cumbersome process, which requires a parliamentary debate and a cabinet presentation to His Majesty the King for assign.

During this period, there will certainly be strong obstruction from lobbying groups outside the hospital, as well as pressure from the public opinion sympathetic to the United States, and the key is that there are too many unexpected factors.

So I persuaded the Prime Minister that the Admiralty should send troops into the war first, and that it would be a fait accompli. Rest assured, there's no risk, this kind of manoeuvre was not uncommon in previous administrations.

For more than 100 years, Britain has participated in almost every war in the world, with very few ratified through formal procedures.

As long as we get back tangible benefits, all resistance will disappear.

It just so happens that there is a small army unit under the Admiralty, and I am interested in you...... My friend personally led the way in this North American war.

Mr. Viscount Toranomon can take the lead in informing the foreign side of the private decision of the Prime Minister and me through his own channels to express our goodwill. You can also join in at your convenience to expand the strength of this small army unit under the Admiralty.

All this, I am ready to leave the army and go it alone. ”

"I see, but I'm still a lieutenant colonel and can't take orders from the Admiralty?"

"Huh...... Don't take this lieutenant colonel seriously, I'll find an opportunity to speak with the Secretary of War alone and transfer you to the Admiralty as Commander of the Land Forces. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll be fine." Li Jianyang knew that a huge opportunity was in front of him, and an excited look appeared on his face at the right time, and he couldn't wait to ask; "So when are we going to act? Oh, by the way, how many people can I command? ”

"Oh...... About 230 people, and you can't give it all to you. ”

"Watt, are you kidding me? A war in which millions of people participated, and you asked me to take less than 200 people? ”

"Don't get excited, my Sancho Panza, this army unit is actually the guard unit of the home naval warehouse, I only have the right to move so much, but it doesn't matter...... You can send a group of troops from Humen, and they can get official nicknames and good rewards to fight in the name of British Royal Navy soldiers, which we did when we attacked Dagukou in Tianjin decades ago. ”

Li Jianyang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and he could only accept such an explanation.

His rank is barely able to command a regiment, and he looks like more than 1,000 people, if he wants to make a difference in such a grand war, it is better to wash and sleep!

In any case, this is an unprecedented opportunity.

As a secret member of the Political Intelligence Bureau, Li Jianyang was ordered to stay in London for a long time, to maintain close relations with Churchill and the British high society, not to deliberately inquire, but to summarize the confidential information he knew, including but not limited to political, economic, military, cultural, gossip and dirty news, and report it every week, which is a normal job.

Recently redirected; Influencing and urging Britain to enter the North American War.

Li Jianyang is very aware of Churchill's character, extremely intelligent and sensitive, very assertive, aggressive and vain, and turns his face faster than turning a book.

For such a smart person, what can't you try to influence him?

It's so dangerous that even if you don't say it directly, Churchill can detect the subtle intention in your words and demeanor, and the friendship boat will capsize.

To put it mildly, Churchill, despite his young qualifications, was the same kind of person as Theodore Roosevelt, aggressive and impulsive, advocating war, and preferring to solve problems by brutal means.

During his tenure as Under-Secretary of the Colonial Ministry, he was widely criticized by the news media for directly ordering the opening of gunfire in front of the crowds of demonstrators in London, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Going with the flow is king, and if there is enough interest in waging a war of aggression, Churchill does not need to be instigated by others.

Churchill looked at Li Jianyang and nodded, did not show a particularly happy look, and was a little anxious, so he took the initiative to show his goodwill; "Man, do you think there are too few people, and a trip to North America is purely soy sauce?"

Li Jianyang rolled his eyes directly, do you still have to answer this kind of idiotic question?

"Well, when I talk to the Minister of War about this matter privately, ask them to promote the rank of colonel before you go through the transfer procedures, so that you can bring more soldiers from Humen or other places, and the number of them will not exceed 4,000."

Churchill also had his own difficulties, the colonel of the army was nothing, but the colonel of the Royal Navy was extremely valuable, even if he was the secretary of the Admiralty, he was inevitably criticized.

After all, he is a rookie in the political arena, he cherishes his feathers very much, and the road to politics in the future is long, and he still wants to run for prime minister, but he can't be easily handled.

He was confident in convincing the Secretary of War that everyone had a share in the benefits, and that the Admiralty was not the only one.

"Thank you Winston, you know I've always wanted to do something real." Li Jianyang's thanks are sincere.

Churchill was very pleased with his answer, and whispered in his ear; "Now you have a chance to thank me and lend me another £2,000."

Li Jianyang???

"Hmm...... Are you in such a hurry, you have to play soon, can't you go back? ”

"That's too late, man."

"Okay, I didn't have that much cash with me, I'll let the driver go back and get it now."

"And how much do you have now?"

"More than 700 pounds!"

？？？

Churchill said with jealousy in his heart; "You evil capitalist, give it to me quickly, let the driver give me the rest in the evening, and I must prepare an unforgettable gift for Miss Alyssa before the dinner begins."

Looking at the back of Churchill leaving in a hurry, Li Jianyang was really speechless, shook his head with a wry smile and walked to his horse race, ready to participate in the polo match below.

Everyone has their own hobbies, and he can't persuade them.

What did Churchill say?

He was a sensitive and combative contradictory, full of aggressive style in character and policy, and in October 1900, Churchill, who represented the British Conservative Party, was successfully elected to the parliament, becoming the youngest member of parliament in British history.

Although Churchill was a member of the Conservative Party, he strongly criticized many of the policies of the Conservative government, criticized the government's policies in the Anglo-Boer war, and persistently opposed the government's plans to expand the army.

After successfully blocking the government's expansion proposal to pass the House of Commons, Churchill went to the opposite side of the government on the trade issue, openly opposing Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of trade barriers and insisting on upholding the principle of free trade, which led him to break with the Conservative Party completely.

In 1904, Churchill called himself an "independent Conservative" and was eventually disqualified by the Conservative Party in January 1905.

After only four months, he sat in the opposition seats, and this change did not affect Churchill's rise to prominence in the political arena, and he successively held important positions such as Vice-Minister of the Colonial Ministry and Minister of Commerce.

in life

All of Churchill's hobbies were associated with "expensive", wines, Cuban cigars, ladies and ladies, French cuisine, beaches and cruises, which kept him financially strapped and involved in many tax evasions.

On September 2, 1908, Churchill, then Lord of the Navy, married Clementina Hozier, who was born into a noble family but came from a poor family, which exacerbated Churchill's financial burden.

His wife was of a wealthy family, but she was too poor to support Churchill's lavish living expenses, but had to save the Admiralty's salary to support the daily household expenses.

The Duke of Marlborough family dividends dividends in the small shares of the South African Farmer's Gold Mine, with an annual income of up to 5~60,000 pounds, but after the agent commission, the Duke family takes the lion's share, and finally it can go to Mr. Churchill's hands for a little more than 10,000 pounds.

This was an unimaginable fortune for ordinary people, but for Churchill's extravagant hobby, it only slightly alleviated his financial difficulties, and he had to write books in addition to his daily work and get a lot of money.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Churchill was one of the highest-paid writers in Britain.

Even so, Churchill's finances were very tight, which shows how costly the pursuit of aristocratic mistresses was.
