1890 King of Southeast Asia

Chapter 242 The Age of Imperialism (VI)

At the same time that South China attacks the core of Arabia, many far -reaching changes have occurred in the world ...

On October 31, 1899, half a month after the Boer siege Kimbelie, after knocking out the bunker one by one in the eight -door 2mm field guns, Kim Belley lost and the British lost the third city.

Kingsley is famous for diamond, but this is not the most important, but after Kimberley's lost, the Boers can face the British's core colonial fulcrum in southern Africa -Cape.

"We must curb this situation! We should solve it as soon as possible and punish the Boers, otherwise this will be the disaster of the British Empire!" Prime Minister Salzbury Marquis Announce loudly:

"We will punish the supporters behind the Boer and the Boolete! The name of God is in the name of the British Empire!"

However, the poor performance of the British made Marquis Salzburi sleepy.

"Britain urgently needs an ally, and we have never been so urgent, and we need a large army country as an ally." Mr. Prime Minister said so much to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Solzburi knows that if Britain cannot calm down the rebellion of the Boolean as soon as possible, then the powers of the powers will focus on the United Kingdom like a purse.

"Our cousin -how is Germany? The Emperor's Emperor has been sending a friendly signal to us." The Minister of Foreign Affairs considered it.

First of all, Tsarist Russia was eliminated -British Pakistan could not die.

Secondly, France eliminated -British and French revenge.

Third, Austria and Hungarian excluded -he was the center of order. In the past few decades, Britain has been committed to eliminating the influence of Vienna, and he did not hesitate to support Germany.

I have not gotten out of the failure of Ethiopia, and I am messy.

Then Germany seems to be the best choice.

"In the southern African battlefield report, the Boers have large -scale German equipment, as well as the British artillery from where they don't know where they come from, and the shells produced by non -British and colonies," Salzbury said.

"Just rely on these ..." The Foreign Minister shook his head half.

"Yes! It is not enough to rely on these, maybe a certain arms dealer sells these weapons to the Boers, and maybe even our people sell them to them, but can you say this to the people?" Sol? "Sol? Zuberi said in a deep voice:

"In addition, the large -scale German rifle, except for only a few countries owned by Germany, we don't have so many resources to thoroughly investigate the people behind.

And I have commissioned the Ministry of Navy and the embassies to investigate, and it is not much wrong, so the source of weapons flowing out is worth thinking. "

There is another thing that Salzbury did not say that at present the Burrs occupy the upper hand and have won the Kimbelie. According to their combat effectiveness, they cannot end the battle in a short time, so they need a reason to be trusted to disperse the anger of the people.

This reason must have sufficient evidence, and the surface must be reasonable. As for who will become the victim of this reason, he doesn't care, and the diplomat does not care, no one cares.

"I know, but in this way, our choice is very narrow, Italy? Or the Netherlands and Spain?" The Foreign Minister wanted to break his head.

"The pattern is open, my diplomat, the current situation is that we cannot change the failure in southern Africa, but it doesn't matter, soon we can settle this situation. Before that, we need a new hot spot, the best "Solitzburi is enough to have any hot spots, a hot spot is sent to him.

"On November 1st, the Qing Empire and Tsar Russia signed a territorial swap agreement in St. Petersburg ..."

"What!" Salzbury's neck appeared on his neck, like a beast who chose a person.

"Now most of our resources are used in the war with the Boolete. At this time, if the army is deployed to the Far East, Cape may be attacked, and the Qing Empire does not seem to be willing to fall to us." The Foreign Minister calmly said.

"Contact the Japanese, as well as South China, and the Ottomans." After thinking for a long time, Solzburi thought for a long time.

"Promise the economic assistance of the Japanese, diplomatic support, weapons support, and we will restrain South China and let Japan confront the Qing Empire and the Tsar."

"Xu Nuo Osman, support them tough Tsar, and support them all actions to South China, provide weapons and loans."

"Xu Nuo Nanhua supports them to obtain all the Middle Eastern territories in the Ottomans, allowing them to expand the territory to the Mediterranean, but Suez does not work and cannot deploy more than 10,000 tons of navy in the Mediterranean."

The Foreign Minister is going out, and suddenly asked: "Don't you need to provide a loan to Nanhua?"

"We just intensify the contradiction between the South China and the Ottomans, instead of letting Nanhua really get it.

According to intelligence, the two sides have erupted several rounds of conflicts in Kuwait. As long as there are several hot areas, the French and Germans do not have so much energy to interfere with our actions. "Solzburi shook his head.

"The combat effectiveness of the South China Army is obvious to all, and the Ottomans have fallen ..." The Foreign Minister was a little worried. What if Nanhua was crazy about the domestic economy?

"That's better, but just a few deserts, it is best to slow down the development of South China. His position is so good."

The foreign minister nodded, left the office, and sat down tiredly.

He was not worried about the Boer war, but only lost a little face, and it was the army, which was not worth much. He didn't know yet that the war would last until 1902.

What he was worried about was that after the Tsar obtained this corridor and the support of the Qing Empire, he obtained an ice-free port. Britain needed a Tsarist Russia that was just good enough, and he couldn't expand anymore.

On November 3, Liu Yiming postponed his vacation again and came to the airship factory.

Ding Shuzhe informed him that the first batch of six airships were parked in a wide open space, and each airship was hundreds of meters apart. The shuttle-shaped airship looked shocking.

"148 meters long, with a maximum effective load of 22 tons, four 500-horsepower gasoline engines, a speed of 55 kilometers, and a cross tail installed at the tail to control the direction and maintain balance." Ding Shuzhe introduced briefly.

Because Liu Yiming had explained aerodynamics to them, the aircraft project was being accelerated, and Unit-01 had entered the assembly experiment stage. He, Ding Shuzhe, and the aircraft laboratory were competitors.

However, it was only on the surface. After learning a superficial aerodynamics, Ding Shuzhe could conclude that the two sides would only play a role in two different fields.

For example, at present, the airship will participate in the Arab logistics transportation after acceptance. There will be scientific research, weather, military, and other aspects in the future. The orders are huge, and he also needs to further study the airship.

"We have already filled the gas before you came. As long as you press the button next to you, the airship will take off." The factory director smiled and gestured beside him, and Ding Shuzhe moved his eyes away awkwardly.

It's not that he hates the world, but...

"Are you ready now?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Yes!" The factory director nodded, and Ding Shuzhe also nodded awkwardly.

Liu Yiming looked at the button on his left hand. Have you learned how to unlock it electrically? Not bad!

Reaching out and pressing it, the current was connected, and the lights in front of the six launch sites turned green.

"Quick! Untie the ropes!" The ground crew hurriedly untied the buckles one by one, and the airship slowly took off.

Liu Yiming scratched his head, unable to bear to look directly at it. Is love a signal light?

"Not bad, not bad!" The airship is big enough, has sufficient transportation capacity, and the ascent speed is not very slow, which is acceptable.

"Currently, there are six airships being manufactured in the factory, orders from the Meteorological Bureau and the Navy Department." Ding Shuzhe continued.

Liu Yiming wanted to say something, but Secretary Wang suddenly appeared and whispered in Liu Yiming's ear.

"Military situation in Kuwait, the Ottomans have suddenly become much tougher, the front line is in confrontation, the First Division cannot withdraw more troops, Commander Zheng is organizing militias and requesting support.

In addition, British Ambassador Cyril asked to see him, and I heard that there was an urgent matter."

After hearing these two things, Liu Yiming's mind was full of only two words "Britain!"

The password was five six three seven four three six seven five

"Speed ​​up the manufacturing progress of the airship." Liu Yiming said one sentence and left in a hurry.

On the way, he kept thinking, did the British discover something?

He gave up the idea when he was about to reach Zhangtai Palace. If he was really discovered, Britain would not react like this. After all, Britain did not think it was a big deal at the moment, but was just attacked.

"Sir Cyril, I am fishing at the seaside and enjoying a wonderful vacation. What makes you so urgent?" Liu Yiming walked into the reception room, where Cyril had been sitting for a long time.

"Mr. President, have you heard about the Qing Empire and the Tsar?" Cyril stood up and said, his face full of anxiety.

"Yes, I know, they made a wrong choice, and the Tsar's greed is endless." Liu Yiming nodded, sat on the sofa, and motioned Cyril to continue.

"The British Empire will not sit idly by and watch things develop further. We plan to teach the Qing Empire a lesson. Considering that you and your people have a connection with the Qing Empire, the British Empire is willing to compensate you." Cyril said respectfully.

Something is wrong. Britain is not like this. Let's wait and see.

"What is the British Empire willing to pay?" Liu Yiming said bluntly.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the Ottomans and you are expanding your colonies. Are we willing to use this as a bargaining chip?" Cyril was evasive.

"To be more specific, there is only a pile of sand and a little mineral, but no water." Liu Yiming has already understood that the Ottomans' unusual movements must be related to the British, otherwise the British would not move so quickly, but why?

"Your vanguard is not far from the Mediterranean. I think you can try the Ottomans' land in the Middle East, including the rich Mesopotamian Basin, where you can farm." Cyril said in a tempting tone.

"Very tempting, what do I need to pay?" Liu Yiming couldn't figure out Cyril's idea at all. What benefits can Britain get?

"Not necessary, just facilitate the actions of the British Empire..." Cyril smiled, full of sincerity.

"Your proposal is really sincere. I will hold a high-level government meeting now. Britain will support Nanhua, right?" Liu Yiming tried.

"Of course! But it's limited to diplomacy. You know, we are also involved in a distant war." Cyril smiled and nodded.

"Okay, please wait a few more days..." Liu Yiming nodded. He needed more intelligence. What exactly did the British plan?
