Wild North America 1846
Chapter 748 A Group of Robbers
Emperor Richard stayed at the Chaoge City (Philadelphia) palace. There were hundreds of such palaces in major and medium-sized cities in the empire, with different architectural styles. They were only used by His Majesty the Emperor and his direct descendants of the royal family.
in every palace
Each has an exclusive private area for the emperor, including the royal study, reception hall and bedroom. The larger ones also include gardens, verandas, small lakes and rockeries and other facilities. Every plant and tree is made of top-notch materials, and various priceless displays are on display.
The cultural treasures reflect the luxury of the imperial family.
The Philadelphia Palace is a medium-sized Baroque castle building that was renovated from an ancient castle with a history of more than 15 billion years. It has a European architectural style.
early morning
In the palace with heavy curtains, Emperor Richard woke up surrounded by two young and beautiful white girls with pink arms. He took a shower and suddenly felt refreshed.
He is still as strong as ever and his body shape is well controlled. After breakfast, he strode to the imperial study room in high spirits.
"The ministers are waiting to greet Your Majesty and wish His Majesty good health."
"If you love me, you will be free from courtesy and live in peace."
Emperor Richard walked past Zheng Huai'en, the deputy director of the Royal Secretariat, and others without stopping, and walked straight into the large royal study.
The deputy director, Viscount Zheng Huaien, waved his hand hastily, signaling the first-class secretaries and second-class senior secretaries to go about their business. He carried the compiled information under his arm and followed into the royal study with a humble expression.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor's tall figure stood by the window, looking down at the Central Square that was gradually becoming lively in the distance. Hearing the noise behind him, he asked, "Tell me, what are the international trends these days?"
"I obey the order." Zheng Huaien did not dare to neglect, so he quickly put a pile of documents under his arm in his hands, opened them and began to report;
“Start your majesty;
In recent times, the mainstream society in Europe has been discussing a lot about Britain's large-scale deployment of troops to South Africa, especially in countries such as Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, and Italy.
They mostly sympathized with the Boer regime in South Africa, opposed the strong oppression of the British, and even opposed war.
In particular, German public opinion jumped higher and the rhetoric was the most intense. This was closely related to the pro-Dutch stance of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Germany was also the European country that most violently criticized the Tang Empire's war measures in the East Indies.
Kaiser Wilhelm II said to the media present during his inspection of the Kiel Canal;
"British and Tang are the countries with the most extensive territories and colonies in the world, but they still have a hard time filling their pockets."
"Now they are working together in the East Indies and the other in South Africa, trying to join forces to carve up the few remaining overseas colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This is an extremely immoral act and must be opposed with a clear stand."
"I strongly appeal to the international community to intervene and stop this kind of banditry that bullies the weak."
"Everyone knows that South Africa has endless gold and diamonds, and the East Indies has spices, coffee, tobacco and cocoa that European society cannot live without. They are all resource-rich treasures."
"I strongly call on the justice-minded countries on the European continent to unite and oppose this act of aggression."
The actions of the German government seriously damaged relations with Britain and Tang Dynasty, and the imperial government also made a series of tough responses.
This includes, but is not limited to, the passage of the "Trade Sanctions against Germany Act" in the U.S. Alliance, which comprehensively increases the tax rate on German industrial products throughout the Americas, from the original average tax rate of 21.6% to the current average tax rate of 88.7%.
Reducing personnel exchanges and cultural exchanges between the two countries, restricting the outflow of science and technology and craftsmanship, restricting German immigration, restricting financial loans from international consortiums to Germany, restricting the export of gold, silver, copper, saltpeter and other important raw materials to Germany, lowering the level of bilateral diplomatic dialogue, etc.
and other measures.
A total of eleven German merchant ships have been seized in the Imperial Yunzhong Province and the city of Suez. Various amounts of contraband have been detected in these German merchant ships, including human trafficking and ammunition transportation.
The German side lodged a strong protest against this and demanded that the Reich treat the detained German ships reasonably, abandon the practice of making false accusations, and truly safeguard transatlantic bilateral relations.
The British side also made things difficult for German merchant ships on the Rhodes Port side of the Suez Canal. There were already 37 German merchant ships stranded in Rhodes Port, and many ships had to turn around and return to Europe.
But we also found that the Germans have also learned to be smart.
They now entrust French merchant ships and Italian merchant ships to transport their goods, or buy them in cash from Paradise Province and other places, thereby avoiding the joint attack of Britain and Tang Dynasty and providing a large amount of materials for the construction of German East Africa and the German Jiaodong Peninsula colony.
Overall
Due to the momentum between Germany and France and the confrontation between the two major military groups, it is completely unrealistic for Europe to form a unified force.
The noise coming from Europe today is just the restlessness of Germany, the Netherlands, Ibio and other countries. It will not affect the unanimous position of Britain, France, Russia and other countries, let alone the ongoing military actions of the empire.
On the one hand, the Germans denounced the empire's neo-colonial actions; on the other hand, they frantically expanded colonies on the Asian and African continents, and even went to the Pacific to search for ownerless islands. Their appearance became increasingly ugly.
Fortunately, the empire had known better and had taken all the Pacific islands into its hands and established irrefutable territorial status. Only then did the Germans return in despair.
so far
Europe's opposition to Britain's large-scale increase of troops in South Africa and the empire's expansion of colonization in the East Indies remained rhetorical, with no substantive actions in sight.
The main contradiction in today's world is still the confrontation between the two major military groups in Europe and the escalating arms race. War breaks out at regular intervals in the hotspot Balkans, which is likely to become the source of chaos that provokes all-out war across Europe.
In this regard, former German Prime Minister Bismarck once predicted when he was on his deathbed: "Sooner or later, someone from the Balkans will provoke a war across Europe. This time is not far away."
"Twenty years after the death of Frederick the Great, Prussia was defeated by Napoleon at the Battle of Jena. Twenty years after my death, William II's crown will no longer be preserved."
Due to the huge influence of former German Prime Minister Bismarck, his dying prophecies spread wildly in Europe and slapped Kaiser Wilhelm II in the face.
According to reliable sources
After hearing these words, Kaiser Wilhelm II angrily chopped his beloved British Marshal's uniform into pieces with his sword, and shouted: "Damn old man, you have made me the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.
"
According to the trends of the German Royal Navy, a new round of main ironclad ship construction boom is about to begin, which has aroused high vigilance in the British Royal Navy, which vowed to "never sit back and watch the Germans become stronger."
British Prime Minister Robert Cecil recently sent a letter to His Excellency the Imperial Prime Minister with the intention of coordinating a unified position between the two countries..."
Robert Cecil?
If Emperor Richard remembers correctly, he was the leader of the Conservative Party transformed from the Cali Party, the 49th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and a strong expansionist colonialist.
think about it
When the Tang Kingdom was established in 1846, Robert Peel, the 31st Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, was probably in power at that time. He was a kind-hearted good old man and a very typical British gentleman.
Standing at Emperor Richard's current height, he already knew clearly;
Not only does Britain have a large-scale war plan to invade South Africa, but it also has a plan to unite European countries to invade the Qing Empire, which will be implemented as soon as the end of this year or early next year.
The world's established powers never raise armies out of anger. Just like the Tang Empire, which has been coveting the East Indies for ten years, the invasion plan is by no means a temporary initiative.
All that is lacking is an opportunity.
Because of the expansion of North America, the Tang Empire urgently halted the Tang Dezhao government's East Indies colonial expansion plan, delaying it for as long as nine years.
its purpose
It’s just to concentrate on completely digesting the new territory of North America. It’s like eating. You can’t overload with too much food. Otherwise, sooner or later something will go wrong.
Plans for expansion into the East Indies have always existed, and when the time is right, such as the current international South Africa crisis, they can be launched again.
The plan of the British colonists is the same. They are no longer satisfied with their current status of being incompetent in the Qing Dynasty, and are trying to gain deeper control over this rich and vast land of China and seize more benefits.
The British saw very clearly the decadent Qing rule. It was a backward feudal regime riddled with holes and was already in turmoil.
As long as you kick it hard, it will collapse...
This contains the global colonial interests of Britain, France and other countries, and is also an important part of the global strategies of these old colonial empires. It is like a rolling wave that cannot be contained.
simple metaphor
It's just that a group of robbers have long been targeting the landlord's silly son, just looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.
This was a robbery jointly participated by the world's major powers, including Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Austria. The Tang Empire did not have to participate, but it could not stop it.
because of this
It will surely arouse the major European powers' deep doubts about the alliance between Chinese countries on both sides of the Pacific, and what will follow will inevitably be a new round of global confrontation, that is, a comprehensive confrontation between the white world and the Chinese world.
Emperor Richard did not dare to gamble, because the Qin Empire across the Pacific Ocean did not agree with him. Instead, it took strict precautions at all times. Instead, it became very close to the European bandits.
This situation is really dumbfounding. The best way is to let nature take its course.
Hundreds of millions of sleeping Chinese people need a strong sense of shame and pain to wake them up before they can spontaneously overthrow the decadent feudal rule and usher in a new day of fully embracing the world.
The only thing the British did not expect was that the resistance of the South African Boers was so fierce, the losses to the British army were so heavy, and the war would last for so long.
In order to add some difficulty to the British, the Imperial Security Bureau has stockpiled a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food in several locations in South Africa through secret channels.
This included 32,000 brand-new German-made rifles, 160 German-made Krupp light field guns, a large amount of ammunition, warm clothing, shoes and canned food for long-term storage.
In the difficult later stages of the British blockade, these weapons and supplies were undoubtedly like opening a treasure chest, giving the tenacious Boers great confidence to continue fighting.
from a certain perspective
The Empire was the country that provided the greatest support to the Boers. They were the kind of people who did good deeds without leaving their names behind, which was definitely interesting.
The Boers can use these weapons and ammunition to kill more British people and vent their evil anger on the Chinese people who are about to face a serious disaster. Can it be regarded as revenge in disguise?
