Chapter 861: President of the Far East
"Minister Lu Yinsi, please take a seat!"
Jérôme. Bonaparte invited. Minister Luyne sat across from him.
Morality. Luyne sat down and asked Jérôme. What did Bonaparte command?
"Diplomatic documents from the Far East, you should have read them!" Jérôme. Bonaparte was slow and methodical to Germany. Lu Yinsi said.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "De. Lu Yinsi replied briefly.
"I'd like to hear your opinion?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again about De. Lu Yinsi.
Morality. After a moment of silence, Luyne said to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "Your Majesty, I think the French Empire should conclude its deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as soon as possible!" ”
"What is your reason for this judgment?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked de l'Hon. Lu Yinsi said.
"Your Majesty!" Morality. "In the interests of the French Empire, a colonial kingdom is far easier to control than a native emerging power," he explains, word for word.
Especially for a colonial dynasty in its final stages, it existed to continue its rule.
In order to be able to continue their rule, they are willing to communicate and communicate with all the countries and forces that can maintain their rule, and agree to all their conditions.
And it is simply impossible for a new local power to do this, and they will do everything possible to break free from the shackles.
As soon as they break free from the yoke, then all our interests in the Far East are likely to be lost.
And as far as the current document is concerned, there are also major problems within the rebel junta, with their ministers in charge of the army and the government, and their king in charge of the religion of the entire army.
If the two kill each other, then the rebel government will suffer a heavy blow and even face the possibility of falling apart!
So I would not advise the French Empire to expend its energies on a government that was destined to be disobedient and most likely to fall apart! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte listened quietly to De. Lu Yinsi's speech, wait until De. Luynes stopped after Jérôme. Bonaparte opened his mouth to Germany. Lu Yinsi said: "Is this all your reason?" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! "De. Luyne vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, and then replied in an unwavering tone: "Your Majesty, I can be sure!" The rebel junta can't give us what we want! ”
"De. Minister Lu Yinsi, you are right! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded in acknowledgment. Lu Yinsi said, and then the conversation turned to Germany. Lu Yinsi said: "However, you seem to have forgotten one thing! ”
"What's the matter?" Morality. Luys was curious about Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"It is true that a powerful new dynasty is not in the interests of the French Empire, but it is even more not in the interests of the Kingdom of Britain!" Jérôme. Bonaparte laughed at Duc. Lu Yinsi said.
Morality. Lu Yinsi was stunned for a few seconds, and instantly understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant, "Your Majesty, do you mean that the emerging dynasty may threaten the interests of the Kingdom of Britain?" ”
"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to De. Lu Yinsi said: "I once studied that place, and the dynasties there all have a characteristic.
That is, in the first few decades of the founding of the country, the rulers of successive dynasties would choose to expand abroad.
And the direction of their expansion is nothing more than to expand to the south or west.
Should they choose to expand southward, they will inevitably engage Britain. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for their army to win against Britain!" Morality. Lu Yinsi reminded in a whisper.
"Just because you can't win now doesn't mean you can't win later!" Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was striking. Lu Yinsi responded: "Besides, how many troops can Britain throw into the Far East!" 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000, these people are like a drop of water poured into a vast ocean for a country of 30,000 people.
As long as they can achieve the same results as Afghanistan (10,000 British troops were wiped out in Afghanistan), then they will not be afraid of any British threat.
Unless Britain can devote all its country to declaring war on it, once the Kingdom of Britain mobilizes the whole country to embark on a vigorous expedition, they will face great economic pressure
xiashuba
Because the supplies of the Far East were destined to not be able to sustain the long period of attrition of the army, as long as their soldiers were able to mobilize as we did in the Great Revolution (1793), the British mobilized were doomed. ”
"But it's hard for them to be like us!" Morality. Luyne whispered to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"Definitely! Let them be like us, I'll put it another way!
As long as their army is like that of the Ottoman Empire, then the British expeditionary army will surely face a heavy blow! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke in a firm tone to Germany. Lu Yinsi said, "A new dynasty, no matter how bad it is, is it no worse than the Ottoman Empire!" ”
Morality. Luynes nodded in agreement with Jérôme. Bonaparte's statement, and then continued: "Your Majesty, what about our interests in the Far East? ”
"I ask you, if the new dynasty wants to rise and industrialize like us, do you need money!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked de l'Hon. Lu Yinsi said.
"Of course you do!" Morality. Lu Yinsi replied without thinking.
"If they need money, and we happen to have money, we can't lend them money!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke briskly to Germany. "They can use the money to buy our old equipment and hire our engineers, and we can use the money to replace the new machines," Lu said.
Isn't it still worth making money!
As for the army, if they want to have the ability to protect themselves, they must follow us to build a strong army!
Is there any country in the whole of Europe that is more powerful than our French Empire, so in the end they will only choose the weapons and people of our French Empire, and we can make a lot of money.
…… As for the navy, if they want to strengthen the autonomy of national defense, they must also buy warships!
We just need to show more sincerity (bribes) and they will choose to buy our warships. ”
"But...... Will they really be able to recognize this? "De. In a slightly questioning tone, Luys addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten! This is a constant truth since ancient times, and they are not fools! Naturally, we also know this truth, so change is inevitable. It's just that the government in power is a colonial government, similar to the British in India, so they want to limit their armies in every possible way.
It makes it impossible to fight them, and at the same time, it also adopts the usual means of killing some people who are illegally protesting. "Jérôme. Bonaparte to De. "If you talk about a normal dynasty, it won't be like them!"
They will be more open to the outside world than the colonial regime!
There is no fear of the Han Chinese who live in the vast lands there, and they will develop faster than the Ottoman Empire.
In fact, it was roughly halfway between the Ottomans and Russia.
If a large Ottoman Empire appeared in Britain and it was difficult to use a large army, but it threatened the interests of the British Kingdom in India, the British Kingdom would not be wary of them.
Originally, one Russian Empire was enough for Britain to have a headache!
If you add a small Russia, then Britain still has the energy to care about the affairs of the European region. ”
"It's really hard to interfere in European affairs anymore!" Morality. Luyne vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
India's importance to the Kingdom of Britain is ranked ahead of Europe, and I don't know how many of Britain's stockholders will face bankruptcy if something happens to India.
"At that time, we will not be able to calmly integrate Europe and unite the whole of Europe under the banner of France!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke bitterly about virtue. Lu Yinsi advised: "You must remember that France has always been a land country, and the pursuit of overseas interests is not the first priority.
If one day we break with Britain, all our overseas interests will be lost, as they were at the beginning.
Therefore, the most important thing we should do is to seek the unity of the whole of Europe!
Once we can unite all of Europe under our banner, the victories of the Kingdom of Britain will be ours! ”
At this time, De. Lu Yinsi had a feeling of blood boiling.
Although he knew Jérôme. The possibility of Bonaparte's words coming true was slim, but he was willing to work for this slim hope.
"I see!" Morality. Lu Yins said solemnly to Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, "I will order the ambassador to France to adjust the diplomatic direction as soon as possible!" ”
"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled with satisfaction, trying to convince de Bonaparte. Lu Yinsi is really not an easy task.
"Your Majesty, I have a question for you!" Morality. Luynes again against Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"What's the problem? Go ahead! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked.
"Where did you get your knowledge of the Eastern Empire?" Morality. Luynes looked at Jérôme curiously. Bonaparte.
Jérôme. Bonaparte pondered for a moment before he was right. Lu Yinsi said: "I met a wise man from the Eastern Empire before, and I got these news from his mouth. ”
"I see!" Morality. Luyne nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, and in his heart did not believe Jérôme at all. This quote from Bonaparte.
Since the emperor himself did not want to tell him the truth, then De. Lu Yinsi can only acquiesce to God's credit.
Wait until De. After the departure of Luyins, Jérôme. Bonaparte breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to himself: "The lake has finally passed!" ”
