  Chapter 331 34. Decided to send a British study group

  Historically, it was the French who assisted the shogunate in establishing a new army and also provided a large loan to the shogunate. But that has something to do with Napoleon III's willingness to invest in the Far East, and it has something to do with his own great joy.

  The exertion of French influence in Japan does not seem to have much connection with the French colony in the Indochina branch (shield) of the Indo-China Peninsula. But the French are not just staring at the Indochina Peninsula. During the Sino-French war, France really wanted to seize Taiwan. It's just that it didn't succeed because of one of these reasons, and the battlefield did indeed pull across.

  If France succeeds in seizing or renting the Taiwan area, or using chicken coop (Keelung) as a lease to expand its power in northern Taiwan, the next step may not be Japan.

  Like Vietnam, from the very beginning, France assisted the Nguyen Dynasty to establish the Great Southern Kingdom, and even signed the unequal treaty "Treaty of Versailles". However, the wish of Louis XVI was not fulfilled. He, the American founding father, did not become the founding father of Vietnam. Da Nan was established, but it is a pity that Louis XVI went to the guillotine.

  However, it is undeniable that France has also begun to project influence in Vietnam, and continue to penetrate into all aspects of Vietnam. In the end, the facts also proved that France's investment was effective, and he won the entire Indochina Peninsula.

  And France's support and assistance to Japan is out of "kindness"?

  Of course it’s impossible. Tademon guesses that France is also playing big chess in the Far East, step by step. Take Vietnam first, then Taiwan, and finally go deep into Japan. Although Qing's interests were too great, he couldn't take a bite by himself, but that didn't mean he didn't want to take a few more bites.

  It was also in this era that Britain and France launched a colonial race in Africa. The British plan is the "Double C Plan", which means that the British colony in Africa will reach Cape Town from Cairo (Cairo). The French plan is the "Double S Plan", an attempt to build a North African empire that traverses the African continent from Senegal in West Africa to Somalia in East Africa.

  Now is an era when colonists acted arbitrarily and rushed forward!

  嗐, to mention this stuff, is not going to learn from them. If you don't learn from them, you can only stay behind, and you will be hung up and beaten in the end. Hurrying to learn now, it may be possible to catch up with the first and second industrial Ge Ming.

   By the way, the French were uneasy and kind. The British later assisted the Meiji government, but they were actually uneasy. The British were also willing to assist the shogunate at first, and then by exerting influence, step by step control of Japanese mines, railways, tariffs, etc., and so on, thereby making Japan semi-colonial and semi-feudal.

  This set, the British and French people are very slippery, very smoothly. However, in order to maintain his hegemony in Britain, he paid more attention to it than France.

  Like Russia!

  At that time, Russia had already taken advantage of the British and French coalition forces to invade the Qing country, and massively seized millions of square kilometers of land. Russia's power has been completely projected to the Far East, and it is even possible to quickly threaten Northeast China, North Korea, and even Japan.

  The first thing the British think about is definitely to help the belt clear, to resist Russia, and not to let Russia completely obtain the ice-free port in the Far East. In this regard, the struggle between Britain and Russia in Central Asia is also very fierce, such as the struggle against Afghanistan, Persia and other places.

  The result is too clear with clarity, even if Taiying wants to pull it, it won’t work. This led to a certain connection between Britain and Japan at that time. Of course, the main prerequisite for this connection to finally become reality is the end of the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War and the defeat of the Qing country. Japan has shown its own ability to lead the British as a pawn.

   So he brought talents to buy Japanese government bonds, helped Japan to rush forward, and checked and balanced Russia, which has extended its sphere of influence to the Northeast and North Korea.

At present, there may have been people of insight who believe that Russia’s expansion in the Far East requires checks and balances. In the Crimean War that will soon take place, the main battlefield will of course be the Crimean Peninsula, Ottoman and other places. . But in Asia, the British and French coalition forces actually captured the Kamchatka Peninsula at the same time.

  If the Qing Dynasty or the Shogunate can know the news at this time, and express their willingness to assist Britain and France to take good care of this place, then the place will be given to the Qing Dynasty or the Shogunate.

  To sum up, if the shogunate can show that he is standing firmly on the side of the leader, and is willing to be a **** with the leader, or to be more straightforward, the shogunate is willing to be a dog with the leader. It also showed a certain degree of combat effectiveness, and is a good cannon fodder, able to help Taiying prevent Russia's expansion in the Far East.

  What would you do with Yingying?

  He will definitely contribute money to help the shogunate cruelly suppress internally, and be a good dog externally!

  And in order to stop Russia, the British are willing to invest in things, certainly much more than France. Anyway, he burned a lot of money all over the world. In order to maintain the hegemony of the world empire, he was still willing to spend money.

  The premise must be emphasized again. It is the shogunate who can demonstrate the value of being a dog. This year, I am not afraid of being used by others, but I am afraid that there is no value in using it. As long as Taiying discovers that the broken ship of the shogunate still has some nails and can check and balance Russia in the Far East, the shogunate will not survive!

   Our loyal guard is full of iron that can hit a few nails, and the hair that carries the British Empire is thicker than the waist of hundreds of loyal guards. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is better to choose to carry the British.

  The shogunate acted as a **** for Taiying, and at best he became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. It's a good idea to let the shogunate live for a few more years. The longer you live, the greater the chances of Chuyemon's performance.

  Well, I still have to go to the UK!

  Not much to say, whether it is for his own self-development, or for the sake of allowing the shogunate to live a few more years, he will also send overseas students to the United Kingdom.

  The only trouble is that the shogunate did not establish diplomatic relations with Britain. This matter may still require the Dutch to agree. Anyway, the Netherlands is basically the younger brother of the British at this time, and it shouldn't be difficult to come and help.

  First hire a few English teachers in Nagasaki, let the students learn English, and then transfer to the UK to study. Moreover, after learning English this time, it will be much more convenient to study in the United States in the future, without having to learn languages.

  I even sent dozens of people directly to serve as military academies with the army. At any rate, it can be regarded as an insight into the entanglement of hundreds of thousands of people this year. Moreover, when the American Civil War is over, so much surplus materials will be cheap to pull to Japan, and it will be convenient to arm the shogunate's army.

  The surplus materials of others, when they reach the shogunate, they are top-level advanced equipment.
