The people in the hall finally understood that George. Canning's tricks - although he often does some puzzling things when he gets high, as long as he plays normally, he is still a very good British-stirring stick.

As a-stirring stick, George. Canning's method is actually the same as Zhuge Weijiu's, which is to join the camp he doesn't like to sabotage...... It is always easier to destroy, especially for such a sabotage expert as the British Empire.

Even if their destruction could not stop the Rakshasa army from taking Constantinople forever, it would at least slow down the Rakshasas' advance.

Moreover, the Turks are also a people with abundant martial virtues, and their capital Constantinople (Europeans call Constantinople Constantinople) is a famous fortified city in history.

In addition, what that Ali Pasha wanted certainly did not include Asia Minor and Constantinople. So at most, this old slippery head will stand by and watch, and will not act until the Rakshasas capture Constantinople.

If the Rakshasas attack the fortified city of Constantinople for a long time, and the international situation changes, it is difficult to say where Ali Pasha will stand!

"Duke," at this time, George. Canning smiled again and said to the Duke of Wellington, "Although we can slow down the southward movement of the Rakshasa Kingdom through clever diplomacy, we can buy precious time for the adjustment of the Empire's policy. But the cornerstone that will determine the future of the British Empire cannot be diplomacy, it can only be real strength!

Given that our real adversary has a population of 360 million and the world's most advanced industry, science and technology, and almost unlimited resources, it is clear that we cannot rely on the more than 20 million people of the British Isles and the millions of people in Canada and Australia...... The only one who can provide us with sufficient strength is India! We must really take India into our hands before the Rakshasas take Constantinople! India must not only exist as the cow of the empire, it must also provide the empire with soldiers, munitions, ships. If we are to face an industrialized country of 360 million people with full military production in the future, then we must integrate India into our military industrial chain. ”

The brows of these Duke of Wellington furrowed again.

He has a bad impression of India, just let the Indians pay some taxes, can the war and the military industry rely on the Indians? Will this battleship produced by the Indians sink on its own?

"William," George IV apparently agreed with George. Canning's view, "The United Kingdom is in great need of India right now...... So I want you to go to India with the Duke of Wellington and then legally become the Emperor of the Indian Empire and organize a broad-based government in India. This government must take into account the interests of the native Indian aristocracy, must be able to mobilize India's human, material and financial resources to the maximum extent for construction, and must be able to establish an industrial system in India that can support a large-scale war...... And the most critical part of this system must be in the hands of the United Kingdom!

Finally, the government of the Indian Empire had to be able to organize an army of millions...... If we can't avoid a world war with the Ming in the end, then we need India's troops. Only India could provide a large army sufficient to withstand the Ming army. Of course, the officers of this army must be our own people! ”

Hearing the king's words, Wellington said no more.

Because he also knows now that when a full-scale war breaks out with the Ming Dynasty in the future, India will be the key to the final victory of the British Empire...... Because under the same conditions of technology and productivity, 30 million people cannot defeat 360 million people! But 200 million people can defeat 360 million people!

Prince William, who has always been strapped for money, is very interested in becoming the emperor of India - the Indian emperor's annuity must be large enough to feed all his illegitimate children, and he can also arrange fat for his illegitimate children in India......

So at this time, he patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, during this time, I have carefully studied the imperial throne transfer system in the East, and I guarantee that I can legally become the emperor of the Indian Empire!" ”

George IV nodded with satisfaction, he had studied this aspect in his spare time, as if he had to get the Indian Emperor Barak II to voluntarily abdicate the throne...... It is necessary to make the princes and ministers of the princely states all over India cry and shout to persuade William to be emperor! Oh, and you can also find a purple robe to wear while Prince William is asleep.

In short, there are still many ways!

After thinking about these things, George IV asked the new Prime Minister George. Canning said: "Prime Minister, how does the new government plan to deal with the relationship with Daming?" ”

George. Canning said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the ambassador in Vienna to ask Prime Minister Metternich to intercede...... He had a good personal relationship with Zhuge for a long time, as well as with the Queen Mother of France, Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille. ”

Metternich was the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire. Antoinette was the Archduchess of Austria, and Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille lived in exile in Austria for a long time. And Zhuge Weijiu took Mary back then. After Antoinette and others fled from France, they also went to Austria.

The face of the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire is to be given by everyone. Just when the King of England summoned George. At the time of Canning, the Austrian Imperial Chancellor Kremens. Wenzel. Feng. Metternich had already arrived at Versailles on the outskirts of Paris by train, and was taken to the Petit Trianon Palace, where the Queen Mother of France lived, by the Duke of Marseille, who had personally greeted him at the train station.

"Little Meizi, it's good that you're here, I'm short of an intermediary who can talk to the British...... Originally, Xiao Zhanzi and I were also old friends, but I didn't expect him to have a stroke when he heard that Turkey was going to finish, and although his life was temporarily saved, he couldn't be the prime minister, so he could only take care of it. The new ghost George. Canning and I don't know each other, you must know him well, right? ”

In the parlor of the Petit Trianon, Zhuge Weijiu was talking to the visiting Metternich – still speaking Chinese, and affectionately calling Metternich "Little Plum". Obviously, he and Metternich are also old acquaintances.

"The Great Army Division, that's George. Canning asked me to come to France, and he wanted me to help mediate the Mingying conflict. "The Austrian prime minister, who has a particularly sharp nose and looks particularly unreliable, is honest in front of Zhuge Weijiu, and he shows his intention as soon as he comes up.

"Hahaha," Zhuge Weijiu said with a cigar in his hand, sitting on a sofa that looked like a work of art, cross-legged, "I guess...... The request to open the door to Australia must have been rejected, and on the Malacca side, the UK agreed to back down. As compensation for refusing to open the doors to Australia, Britain abandoned its support for Japan. Am I right? ”

Metternich laughed, "George. Canning does not mention Japan...... But he agreed that the Ming Empire would choose any place in the Strait of Malacca as a military base. ”

"Okay," Zhuge weijiu said with a smile, "I want Ba Lan and Bintan Island." ”

"What?" Metternich was stunned, "But that's a Dutch colony!" ”

Zhuge shrugged for a long time: "That's the problem of the British, this can't be difficult for them." ”

The site chosen by Zhuge for a long time is also very stubborn, and it is blocked at the eastern exit of the Strait of Malacca. Among them, Ba Lan Island is less than 10 nautical miles away from Ma Xi Island, and the latest cannon can directly cover the entire Ma Xi Island by erecting the latest cannon on Ba Lan Island! With these two islands, the Strait of Malacca can be regarded as shared by the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom.

And the reason why he chose these two islands is actually to implement the expansion policy of "small gambling and cannibalization...... Eating only a little bit each time will not stimulate the opponent too much, even if you lose, it will spit out a little benefit.

According to this policy, the Ming Empire could break down a big gamble into countless small bets, squeezing the British Empire and other Western colonizers in the East little by little, and gradually achieve domination of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even ...... Strategic goals in Central Asia!
