"This is mutiny! Shameless mutiny!" Salisbury slammed the newspaper on the table.

First Release &: Tower-Read Novel

There was a large photo printed on the front page of the newspaper. Troops dressed as Boer militiamen walked into a fortress carrying the Transvaal flag. Above the stronghold was flying the black, white and red flag of the Second German Reich.

A series of big words printed on the photo

The relationship between Britain and Germany has always been good. For example, the British royal family comes from Germany, and the rise of Prussia was indispensable to Britain.

The two sides are also each other's largest trading countries. William II is Victoria's grandson, and the next British king is William II's uncle.

"With all due respect, Prime Minister, we first need to confirm the source of this photo. I don't think the Boers would march with a British reporter." Cabinet Secretary Arnold said with a smile.

"No! Arnold, the people will not care about the origin of this photo. As we all know, photos cannot be reproduced unless the Germans can prove their innocence." Salisbury sat on a chair and took off his glasses.

"Prime Minister? Sir Arnold." The Prime Minister's secretary opened the door.

"What's wrong?" Arnold asked.

"Well... backbenchers are considering moving a motion of no confidence against the prime minister."

"What!" Salisbury stood up excitedly.

"Of course! According to wartime regulations, even if the bill is passed, it will not be implemented until the war is over." said the Prime Minister's Secretary.

"But, procedurally speaking, the war is over." Arnold curled his lips and shrugged.

"What?" Salisbury wondered: "But there is still fighting on the front line!"

"In fact, we have long announced the annexation of the Transvaal. According to the procedures, the war is over. The current fighting is just the resistance of the local people.

This is not surprising. The British Empire has more than 30 million square kilometers of land, and people resist every day. If this is the only way to implement wartime regulations, then we will never need to hold a re-election." Arnold and the Prime Minister's Secretary laughed.

"I have to do something. Notify Sir Fiso to come. I want to discuss with him the issue of putting pressure on the Germans." Salisbury straightened his clothes.

"What?" Arnold asked in surprise: "Why the Germans? This photo was obviously taken deliberately."

"I think it was the French who did it," the Prime Minister's Secretary added.

"No matter what, if the Germans cannot prove their innocence, the people will not believe them. The people are the British Empire. No one wants to stand against the British Empire. They just need to hand over this army, just like in the past few decades.

." Salisbury said easily.

"But..." Arnold wanted to say something else.

"Enough! It must be like this!" Salisbury shouted: "I don't care if the Germans did it. This can at least control the scale in the hands of the government. If the people spontaneously rebel against Germany, you know what will happen.

What? That’s unacceptable!”

"Yes, many factories will have to work overtime to make up for the losses caused by the lack of German products. I understand." Arnold nodded, turned and left.

"The first phase of the construction plan has begun, and the first batch of 40,000 laborers has begun to cut down trees and level the land. Judging from feedback, there are many century-old trees in the forest, which can offset part of the building materials." Xu Hui found a job at the port.

Liu Yiming fishing.

"That's good, what's wrong?" Liu Yiming looked at Xu Hui.

"The cabinet and parliament had a comprehensive discussion on the construction of the palace." Xu Hui found a recliner and lay down.

"It's good, it's diversified."

"That's the problem. They almost got into a fight. Everyone's ideas were not unified yet. Some people wanted to add local elements to the palace, and then they started fighting in the parliament." Xu Hui looked at Liu Yiming and said, "You take it.

An idea?”

"Local elements? Thatched houses? Stone houses?" Liu Yiming really didn't know what local elements were worth absorbing.

"Mosque." Xu Hui's expression remained unchanged.

"In the first phase, we will mainly focus on traditional Chinese wood and stone structure houses. Taking into account the typhoon weather, the roofs will be made of imitation tile structures. Don't do anything weird." Liu Yiming silently sipped his tea and said.

"What about the later stage?"

"The second phase of the project is to build modern Chinese-style buildings, which will be used as government offices and to receive foreign guests, etc., and the third phase is to build a combined Chinese and Western style building to become a residential area and hotel." Liu Yiming said.

"Okay, but you have to tell them, they won't listen to me." Xu Hui squinted his eyes, "When will you find someone again? I also want to live like this."

Liu Yiming looked at Xu Hui who was lying on the recliner with his eyes narrowed, smiled and said nothing.

After a while, he started snoring, and Liu Yiming got in the car and headed to the government.

"The Prime Minister is on vacation. I will help him handle today's affairs and send all the documents." Liu Yiming sat on Xu Hui's chair.

I lie down out of habit, but find that the chair cannot be adjusted.

"So many? What do the ministers do for food?" Liu Yiming asked in surprise as he watched the secretary come in with a pile of documents.

"This is the infrastructure plan of several regions, this is the construction progress of the palace, this is the economic survey report of Java, this is the Arab region..." the secretary said one by one.

Liu Yiming felt numb. Last time he did the contract work, he thought Xu Hui had taken away too many people. Now it seems that his usual workload is like this.

"You don't need to process them all. These documents have already been processed. You only need to read the briefing. If you have any questions about that, read the documents carefully and decide how to deal with them." The secretary looked at Liu Yiming's expression and said silently.

"The infrastructure plan is progressing well...huh? The British rejected the Borneo Railway Plan?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Let me see, it's here." The secretary pulled out a document and handed it to Liu Yiming.

"Sure enough, they are British." Liu Yiming looked at it for a few times and then let it go.

Nanhua's plan is to build a railway around the island. Nanhua will be responsible for the section within Nanhua's territory, and the British will be responsible for the British colonial section. The two sides will connect and manage it cooperatively.

The British agreed, requiring the right to build the railway, the right to operate the railway, and Nanhua to provide labor and pay the price based on British domestic prices.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Anmin stuck his head out excitedly, made sure Liu Yiming was there, and then walked in.

"Come in. What do you want from me?" Liu Yiming closed the file.

"Where is the Prime Minister? Why are you in his office?" Lin Anmin looked around.

"He's on vacation. I'm taking over for him. Are you looking for him?" Liu Yiming asked.

"No, no, no! Your Majesty, the British are putting pressure on Germany to hand over the Boers and provide an explanation." Lin Anmin handed the document to Liu Yiming.

"I know this, the news was yesterday." After all, it was the news in the newspaper, and the whole world knew it.

"We just received a call from the embassy, ​​and the Kaiser responded fiercely." Lin Anmin said.

"Huh!" Liu Yiming was surprised.

Germany's approach consists of three steps.

In the morning, the Kaiser denied the authenticity of the incident, saying that someone had framed the incident, and even contacted his uncle.

This is a normal diplomatic process. Regardless of whether there is any, there is always some superficial effort.

At noon, the German Imperial Diet passed the second Navy Act, which added 19 battleships to the original Navy Act. It is expected that by 1917, the German Empire will have 38 battleships.

Unsurprisingly, the British took this as a provocation, and new shipbuilding and sanctions bills are already being brewed.

At the banquet in the evening, William complained that the Imperial Parliament was ignorant and that Britain was too arrogant. In short, the two countries were officially at odds.

"The development of the incident is really wonderful." Liu Yiming sighed.

"Today, Victoria sent a message to William, hoping that William would remove Tirpitz from the post of chief of general staff." Lin Anmin said.

"According to the usual style of the British, we shouldn't know so quickly." Liu Yiming wondered, has the Intelligence Ministry already penetrated into important departments of the British Empire?

"Our intelligence officers in Germany have heard that Germany particularly believes in mechanical structures, but personnel review is not so strict, and the self-inspection system is also..." Lin Anmin curled his lips.

"But even if Tirpitz does not step down, Britain will not affect the relationship between the two countries and will forget about it after a while."

Liu Yiming shook his head: "No, the British's biggest flaw is right under the Germans' noses."

Lin Anmin looked confused.

"Beihai." Liu Yiming took out the map.

"From a military perspective, the Royal Navy is almost invincible in the world. This is a fact."

"However, Britain's position is not very good. Once the Tsar's navy goes to sea, it will arrive near the British mainland. It is precisely because of this that Britain always hopes to block it on the mainland." Liu Yiming pointed to the location of the North Sea.

"It is too close to the United Kingdom. The Royal Navy is powerful, but more energy must be placed on maintaining hegemony in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. It cannot lose the Mediterranean and India. This wastes a lot of energy. In the North Sea, the Royal Navy is destined to be unable to concentrate.

strength."

Lin Anmin made it clear: "In other words, if Germany further expands its navy, Britain will have to respond to the war for the sake of national defense and security, and the relationship between the two parties will not be able to return to what it was before."

"Yes, just like if the British concentrated the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Far East Fleet in Singapore, the war would have already started when they entered the port." Liu Yiming gave a wonderful metaphor.
