Chapter 201: Find something to do for Britain
As soon as Ernst's mind turned, he began to trick the victims, and East Africa had a natural advantage in this regard.
Picked up the phone on the table and called directly: "Pick up the National Defense Security Bureau for me, go and call the director of the National Defense Security Bureau...... Yes, you report to the palace immediately, and I will wait for you in the office. ”
After a while, the head of the East African Defense Security Agency heard the call and rushed to the scene, and for Gro, His Highness personally summoned him, and something big must have happened.
As a new department that has only been established for a few years, the Defense Security Agency has little influence in East Africa and is an unknown organization.
Although it has the name of national defense, it has nothing to do with the military, the military has its own intelligence department, which is mainly used to collect military-related intelligence, and the East African Defense and Security Agency is a thorough spy organization used to run some espionage activities against foreign countries.
Soon a rather young officer came to the Vutte Palace, and since it was a "defense department", he also wore a military uniform.
"Gro, you're here, sit down first."
"Yes, Headmaster!"
Gro gave a military salute and sat down, he said with a grim face: "Headmaster, what instructions do you have this time, just give orders!" ”
Ernst took a sip of tea, and then said, "It's not a big deal, I think you know about the recent British suppression of us." ”
"Yes, Headmaster, according to your instructions, our department has been focusing on the intelligence work of Britain and the United States, so I have personally checked the progress of the British sanctions bill and the situation of the forces in tandem with our neighbors to prevent the omission of important information."
"Then you should know the purpose of my visit to you this time, right?"
"Is the headmaster going to give Britain a color?"
"That's not true, we don't have the ability to turn the other cheek in the UK, so that's why I'm looking for you, there are some things that can't be solved from the surface."
Gro sat upright on the sofa, pondering Ernst's words: "The headmaster means to secretly add trouble to the British, so that they have no time to take care of East Africa?" ”
"Very well, it seems that you already know what I mean, I intend to ask Britain not to always focus on East Africa, there are a lot of important areas for Britain than East Africa, the British are too idle."
"So that's it! I don't know how you plan to intervene, what effect you want to achieve, do you need us to use British personnel! ”
"No, it's not easy to insert some chess pieces into it, it can't be wasted in vain, it has to work at a critical time, we may not be able to use it in the past few years, this time we mainly think of ways from the perspective of public opinion, so just use the most peripheral personnel, I need you to find a few parliamentarians in the UK who attach importance to the region except East Africa, let them speak out, it is best to start with the war in Afghanistan, or South America, express your opinions, find something to do for the UK, and divert the attention of the British government."
"I'm afraid that this will not be enough to make Britain turn its guns, and the words of a few MPs will not be enough to change the British government's mind."
"Well, what you said also makes sense, so I'll ask the newspaper to follow up on your actions and build momentum for them, and after you arrange the list of councillors, remember to send a copy, and I'll publish their remarks through the media."
Gro thought to himself, it's that simple?
"Headmaster, isn't that enough to serve our purpose?"
Enst nodded and said: "Of course, this is only one aspect, what I want to talk about next is the main point, since I talked about Afghanistan and South America just now, it is naturally related to these two regions." ”
"The headmaster is talking about two wars?"
In 1879 there were two major wars related to the British, one was the Second Anglo-Afghan War, and the other was the South Pacific War, also known as the Guano War and the Saltpeter War.
"Yes, now the attention of the British is on these two wars, but Afghanistan is obviously more important to the British, after all, it was Britain who came down personally, and the influence of the war in the South Pacific is also good, just like the last time Britain instigated Portugal to confront us, this time it is Britain who supports Chile behind its back."
In this way, it can be said that Britain has its own strategic deployment in the three regions of Asia, Africa and Latin America, but East Africa is large after all, and the Portuguese can't move it at all, so Britain has no success.
As for Afghanistan and South America, it was more miserable, the British military operation in Afghanistan was quite smooth in the early stage, but Ernst knew that the Afghan people would let the British experience the feeling of being a soldier, and the occupation of cities would not work in Afghanistan.
In the direction of South America, the three small countries fought for saltpeter, and the armies of the three countries even used cold weapons such as bows and crossbows to fight, just like the Paraguayan War, and it was a means for Britain to try to strengthen its control over South America.
"So you have to make the most of these two wars, so that Britain can shift its attention to these two places, South America is now in the midst of fierce fighting, but Afghanistan is now calm, so I will allocate a sum of money to you to stir up the situation in Afghanistan for me."
Ernst's ultimate goal was Afghanistan, and as for the war in the South Pacific, it was incidental, and it was good material anyway, which could add some fun to the British citizens.
There is more news about the two wars, and there is naturally less news about East Africa, and the British government will also be influenced by public opinion to give priority to the two wars.
"Headmaster, you mean we got involved in the war in Afghanistan?"
Ernst shook his head and said, "It's not us, it's Tsarist Russia, Persia or Afghanistan, but it has nothing to do with us, understand?" ”
"Yes, Headmaster, but we don't have any power at our disposal in Afghanistan, so I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."
"I know it's not easy, but you can solve a lot of things with money, and it just so happened that we left a lot of weapons in the last war, so let's donate them to the Afghan people! Your department is responsible for delivering these weapons to the British, but you have to find a way to clean up the relationship between these weapons and East Africa, and not let others grasp them. ”
"I know Your Highness, we can use Arab merchants to do this, as for weapons, we don't need to send them all, we will pick some generic versions, so that the enemy will not find out that it is related to Germany, and finally throw the pot on the heads of the countries surrounding Afghanistan."
Groh said what he thought, and Ernst added: "It is better for our people to do this in Russian, and absolutely not in German, and to do the whole thing, anyway, Russia was going to intervene in the war, so it seems to be a matter of course." ”
"I understand the principal, this operation was completely planned by the Russians, and has nothing to do with other countries, which naturally include East Africa, especially East Africa."
"Well, yes, one more thing to remember, you have to figure out how to transport it, we can't interfere, you have to think of a way from Zanzibar, you can't let people find out that the weapons are coming from East Africa."
Without Ernst's intervention, the Afghans would still have launched a revolt against Britain in a few months, but Ernst wanted to advance this matter a little earlier, as long as Afghanistan was in chaos, then Britain's attention could only be fixed on Afghanistan, after all, it was the real British army fighting Afghanistan, not proxies like Portugal and Chile.
Thinking of this, Ernst finally advised: "The sooner this matter is done, the better, of course, you can't be in a hurry, the first goal is to be safe, even if the mission fails, it can't have anything to do with East Africa." ”
