1890 King of Southeast Asia

Since the telegraph lines were laid, human communication has advanced from the speed of sound to the speed of light in an instant.

However, wired telegraphs are limited by the laying of telegraph lines. In places where telegraph lines are not laid, sound or text is still transmitted by machinery or power storage.

Until the emergence of Nanhua's radio technology, high-frequency antennas were located all over the world, and the world officially entered the information age.

Although the transmission cost was high, the British Embassy still spent a huge amount of money to send a 5,000-word wireless telegram to the Foreign Office in London.

This telegram made the British specially convene a cabinet meeting.

"Have you read the telegram from the Far East?"

"This is not good news for us. The navy's dominant position is likely to be weakened. This is unacceptable!"

"The Treasury should be more tolerant. If the navy is allocated a little more, just a little bit, I believe that the excellent Royal Navy will not face such an embarrassing situation twice!"

"The navy's allocation is already enough. The full 40 million pounds of naval military expenditure is not only the highest in the world, but even the naval military expenditures of the second to fifth countries combined are not so high!

"I think what we should discuss is how to prevent Nanhua from further cooperating with the French. We have finally corrected the French. If we continue like this, after stopping the Germans, the French will become a big trouble again."

"Yes! Damn the French, now when they should deal with the Germans, they only need the army. What does he expect the navy to do? Drive to the land?

"Stop Nanhua's actions and cause him some trouble."

"Let the Americans go!"

After that, as soon as the words came out, the whole conference room suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at the person who spoke.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? \\" Churchill touched his face to make sure there was nothing.

"Sir, the Americans have failed. Whether it was in 1898 or 1907, they reached out to the Far East twice, but were cleverly interrupted by Nanhua. "The Home Secretary said with a smile.

"The weak navy of the United States, until now, their main force is still a bunch of outdated old battleships, with only a small, pitiful, slow new battleship. "The First Sea Lord laughed sarcastically.

"Yes, those old ships are used for escort, and they are not worthy of appearing anywhere else. "The Foreign Secretary did not laugh, but said it very seriously.

"Nanhua has the second largest number of new naval warships in the world. The lightest of the six ships is 20,000 tons, and the largest may be 30,000 tons. It is equipped with 356 mm artillery and occupies Hawaii, which can easily block the Americans' advance route.

At present, Nanhua ranks fifth and sixth in total naval tonnage, but the tonnage and number of new battleships are only behind Britain.

Britain has a large quantity and is satisfied with it. There are two models and six ships of the Dreadnought alone. Together with other models, the total number is over ten.

Germany has not yet exerted its strength. Currently, there are only six ships, and the average tonnage is smaller than that of Nanhua.

Nanhua is very average, with two ships of one model, and constantly improving its technical level and processing technology.

\\"The Germans have started construction of five new ships. We have not obtained the specific design drawings, but we have reason to believe that these five ships will be more powerful than the warships we already have. We urgently need new warships, powerful warships that can completely consolidate the dominant position of the Royal Navy! \\" The First Sea Lord lined up the table.

"Gentlemen, you must know that the navy is sea power, and sea power is life. England cannot lose sea power, not even for a moment! \\" Churchill immediately agreed. Qianqian Xiaosuo

"But, although it is frustrating to say, we want to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time at both ends of the world. Even England is a little unprepared. We need time."

"The Americans are a good choice. Let them cause trouble for South China. 30% of South China's annual trade is related to the United States. As long as they have some conflicts that cannot be ignored, South China's development will definitely slow down. In this way, when we solve the Germans, we can go back to solve South China. "

"And just trying it will not take up too many resources." Churchill delivered his speech loudly.

It's a pity that this is not the House of Commons, otherwise there must be drunkards who stand up and cheer loudly.

"Mr. Commerce Minister's opinion is reasonable. Is there room for operation? "The Prime Minister spoke.

The British constitutional monarchy is actually the most democratic. Although it limits the royal power, it leads to excessive power of the Prime Minister.

Unlike other constitutional systems or republican systems, the status of ministers under the head of the British government is not fixed.

For example, in the United States, the Secretary of State is below the President. No matter who is the Secretary of State, it cannot change the Secretary of State's power and status in the government.

However, the tradition of the British Whitehall is that the closer the minister is to the Prime Minister, the greater the power. This term may be the Minister of Finance, and the next term may be the Minister of Defense.

Because the Prime Minister theoretically holds all the power, there is a saying in Whitehall: "The Prime Minister's word is the law."

\\"From a normal diplomatic perspective, the United States has no core interests in the Far East, or even no interests. If you want to provoke the United States to cross the Pacific and go to war with South China, you need a certain plan. The Foreign Secretary chooses his words carefully.

He can yell loudly with Churchill, but not with the Prime Minister, and he can't refuse directly with a clear attitude.

"Don't need to fight, just need to engage in their trade, or in other words, you can start with the China Evaluation Act.

Churchill said strongly.

\\ "Winston, South China is our allies. At present, it can only be our allies. \\" Prime Minister first draws the bottom line.

\\ "As far as I know, the United States has abandoned the China exclusion bill a few years ago. As for trade, I don't think there is any place in trade between the two parties. Friendship answers.

"That's just the Federal Law. There are still a lot of local states. Maybe I forgot this, but who cares?

We only need to put this on the newspaper and send it to South China. Of course, the necessary art processing is required. \\ "Churchill had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The guy who forced C for this incident was very good at, what about trade? \\" Prime Minister nodded with encouragement.

Isn't Nanhua a leader of Chinese? The Chinese have been treated unfairly in the United States. Do you help?

The people were resentful, but it was not so good.

"We only need to stir -fry the rubber. The international market of the rubber has been rising. We add a little force so that the United States has to increase Cuban rubber imports, and then sell it and even get a few good rubber forests."

"Of course, this is a complex operation. I think it is necessary to seek the help of some professionals. Churchill said after speaking.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, cooperate to solve this."

The British are considering how to deal with Germany while dealing with South China, but South China is holding an education conference.

Time is allocated for half a month.

"His Majesty, the Ministry of Education made trouble." Secretary Wang pushed the door nervously.

"What's wrong? \\" Liu Yiming was practicing the word, he heard it, and frowned.

\\ "I don't know, the presidents of each college and a dozen academicians are here, and they are blocked by Minister Chen." Secretary Wang shook his head.

"Go, look at it."

"Must be changed."

\\ "Action immediately."

"This can not cultivate scientists. \\"

Before approaching, Liu Yiming could hear the noise.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, such education methods must be changed!" Other people are saluting, Tesla is roaring, but looking at his expression, it seems like a grieving child.

"Slowly, Mr. Tesla, what's the matter? \\" Liu Yiming looked at this group of people.

A large number of South China white scientists such as Lutherford, Tesla, etc. gathered together.

"This year, my laboratory will expand a new laboratory and recruit 7 graduate students. Their written test scores are very good, so I asked them to interview." Tesla cried.

"During the interview, I asked many questions. Generally speaking, they were qualified, so they entered the laboratory, but they would not use it in an instrument."

"At first I thought it was the school's laboratory without these equipment, so they were not familiar with it. As a result, after making them officially started, I didn't even know what the electrical crystals were."

"Ask, they have not used the laboratory, have not been exposed to normal production, just holding books in the question.

\\ "They are suitable for theoretical research, but I am an electronic engineering laboratory. All experiments involve the use and development of tools. They should not come here at all."

"Theoretical research is not good. They should go to technology, they don't understand theory at all!"

Before he finished speaking, they quarreled themselves.

After listening slightly, Liu Yiming probably knew what happened.

In traditional culture, the reason why Confucianism can occupy the mainstream is because Confucianism has become an examination subject.

Years of development have made the Chinese get used to the concept of learning and excellent, thereby extending a skill -test skills.

It is not good or bad. On the one hand, such things are fair, and on the other hand, this will only become more and more rolled.

\\ "Do you have any suggestions? For this problem." Liu Yiming looked at this group of noisy scientists, and he was a little big.
