Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 98 The 2nd Far East War
This may be the most generous thing Britain has ever done. Lilian’s idea is to use Japan, which is fragmented and has a weak national power, in exchange for Prussia’s support. August has no feelings for Japan. When you talk about resources, Japan says it can be done without. Don’t say that. It's a rare metal, and it can't even dig out scrap metal.
And there are frequent earthquakes. They are essentially the debris arched up from the seabed when the two large plates of Blue Star collide. Politically, it is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and its national power is scum. It is estimated that even Denmark cannot beat it in Europe. Of course, although there are many shortcomings, the advantage is a large population. If Japan is completely unified, the scale will still be large.
August has indeed been looking for new expansion directions in Southeast Asia. If she goes south, she will conflict with the Netherlands, and if she goes north, she will conflict with the British. Above is British India. Of course, she does not think that the Ming Dynasty is too big. The main threat was that August believed that Lilian's character would definitely include Japan, so that the Ming Dynasty could be sealed off, but she gave it generously.
Lillian was different from other politicians because she was unhappy with former Prime Minister John's exchange of British Malaya with Prussia. She directly publicly praised Stanley and the Conservative Party in the newspaper, and then the Prime Minister became the former Prime Minister. Prime Minister Stanley, the leader of the Conservative Party, was sent to Buckingham Palace by his supporters.
August was a little confused when he heard about this. What does it mean to ask the current government to step down? When did Britain become so tough? Is Britain a monarchy again? Why would I have such a dream.
But having said that, Prussia can’t receive all the news from Britain. August doesn’t quite understand the specific extent of Lillian’s prestige, but it doesn’t really matter, just mind your own affairs. That's fine, as long as she knows what happened in the UK, forget about the rest.
During the economic crisis, the Conservative Party headed by Stanley is obviously unable to deal with this kind of thing. Is it printing money? Printing is nonsense, I am on the gold standard, how can I print money? In order to ensure that inflation does not occur, the British government has always been very stingy in printing money. But it is not that it cannot print money. It is because the Conservative Party is afraid that after printing money, prices will skyrocket again, making it even worse than now. In order to keep the government running .
Then the British Liberal Party has something to say. If you can't handle the economic crisis, then we will handle it and let the Conservative Party step down. If you don't step down, we will initiate a vote of no confidence.
But if you talk about the Liberal Party, it is also afraid of taking responsibility. It is no longer making trouble. If the no-confidence vote was voted every day before, now the crisis is coming. It says it will vote, but in fact there is no movement at all. It is afraid that it will not be able to play. It's easy to take responsibility. You can only say that the British political system is like this, because the government is unstable and there are many parties. Votes of no confidence are cast every day. It is very good for a government to last for two years. It is almost impossible to serve a full term. , because there will definitely be problems. Today the Liberal Party is unhappy and casts a vote. Every day the Labor Party is unhappy and casts another vote. These parties are just tinkering around.
Prussia is different. The army directly participates in politics, and there is no such thing as a vote of no confidence. The king and the army plus a dispensable parliament are responsible for solving all problems. How good. If you can win, you can fight. If you can't, you can fight. lie.
The British system is relatively cohesive. If everyone works hard, the administrative efficiency will definitely be very high. But the problem is that during peacetime, these people just fight with each other and torture their allies. Now Britain is in an economic crisis. This crisis is comparable to The economic crisis that occurred in the past two years has become more serious. The reason is that the use of electric motors has increased productivity and people cannot consume so many things. Are you saying that they should be thrown away in the colonies? First of all, it is not a problem of sales. It is because the UK has no gold and cannot issue pounds. Every time the total amount of money increases, other countries also have no pounds. The sudden explosion of productivity has plunged British society into turmoil.
But what Lilian did was just to make the people feel pain. Do you think she has a plan? Of course, she had predicted everything when she invested in Faraday to create a usable electric motor. The chain reaction was that the foreign trade of European countries was hit. Even France suffered a lot because its products could not be sold to the UK. Companies laid off workers or even closed down, while panic prompted people to flee the stock market and investment in industry stopped.
Britain and France are both in an economic crisis, and their governments want to find a way out. Some people say that they should expand externally and plunder gold and silver. With these hard currencies, they can issue more currency. Some people say that riveting gold on currency is too stupid. After that, the currency issuance should be adjusted.
Everyone has their own reasons, but they don’t hit the point, and the Liberal Party proposed a new plan. Let’s go hand in hand with France and beat the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has countless gold and silver. The last time we fought was because of too much They overestimated the Ming Dynasty's combat effectiveness, formulated a cautious and conservative battle plan, and delayed the opportunity to fight. What should I say this time? You've beaten it once and you'll be familiar with it. Go again and grab more things.
Stanley himself refused, but what can he do? As soon as he entered the parliament, there were gongs and drums rising to the sky and firecrackers blasting. A lot of members above immediately asked what can you do, whether to fight, fight, or fight, and stop everyone's mouths. Stay here and don’t let me say anything you want to say. It is indeed the best zoo in the UK, where you can observe the diversity of species.
Finally, Stanley went to seek Lillian's opinion. Lillian expressed her support, but also did not support it. She predicted that Britain would not win this war so easily. Even if France was added, it would be useless, although it was estimated that it would not be better than the first. The second battle will last longer, but the casualties will definitely be greater than the first time. You will win, but you won't get back your money.
