Chapter 607 A slap in the face!
"What? The Pacific Empire openly fought Britain at sea?"
"This is simply unheard of, the two allies fought!"
"The turning point of this world war is about to appear, and it seems that the Allies are about to lose!"
At this time, although it was 1894 and the telegram had been invented and used for a long time, it would take a long time to deliver a message from South Africa to Europe.
Therefore, in the naval battle at the end of last year, the news of Britain's defeat was not until now, and it was not easy. As soon as this news broke out, it really caused many major events.
First, London stock market plummeted!
Yes, as soon as this naval battle comes out, there is actually no need to look at the result. As long as the Pacific Empire and the British Empire fight, what does this mean? Can these guys who play stocks don’t understand?
They are comparing with Turin, so they went to sell early and had various short orders.
However, in this market, there is a person who is crazy long, crazy, and very crazy in the environment of a sharp drop. This person is William Cameron!
Is he crazy?
No matter what, this guy is doing this anyway, he still has money and ammunition.
And immediately, the Frankfurt stock market and the Vienna stock market rose sharply!
Yes, European speculators are not stupid either. What is the meaning behind this news? What else can I say?
Obviously, okay, I don’t know the specific reason, but it can be seen that the Pacific Empire is likely to have a bad tendon. I want to fuck that Britain!
This is the case. Of course, many people have made many explanations, for example, some people have also seen it. I'm afraid that it was because the emperor of the Pacific Empire was insatiable that he fell in love with the big gold mine in South Africa, so he wanted to do it directly.
Didn’t we say that South Africa needs to manage together, obviously this is the action.
In fact, as for the international co-management proposed by the Pacific Empire before, basically no one responded!
This is not because everyone is stupid, but because everyone has their own reasons. For example, Germany, of course, they hope that the British will die the most. Cutting off their golden veins is of course a good choice, but Germany is simply a combination of eggs!
They can't reach South Africa and can't get through it at all, so what actions can they do about that common matter?
Of course, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and other things are the same.
Not to mention Britain and France, there was originally their place. It was the British colony. So why did the British want others to interfere in managing their own place?
But now, this co-management has really made the Pacific Empire do it, which is really...
Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are both slapping their legs!
If it's too late, you can't keep up, but there are some stock markets that are quite weird, that is, the French stock market, when it falls, it will rise again immediately!
Why?
Simply put, the French speculators have planned that we are France and we are on the European continent. If the British and French coalition forces are no longer able, can we surrender directly?
Yes, it is because of this idea of surrender that many surrender concept stocks were born!
This may be the most bizarre concept stock in the world.
...
"His Excellency Salisbury! I suggest you quit your job right now!"
"That's right! You guys are going to lead our British Empire into the ditch!"
"Salidsbury! What are you still fantasizing about? That Clint Lee I has already played you in the midst of applause!"
If such a big thing happens, can the British Parliament be quiet?
This immediately fry!
"..." Salisbury, even though he was eloquent and very talented, he couldn't say anything at this time.
To dispel these politicians, Salisbury naturally has countless methods. Although he is a little forgetful now, his eloquence is still there, and there is no problem with scolding or something. But Salisbury doesn't want to scold and really doesn't want to.
Because he realized a great crisis!
If the Pacific Empire really comes to deal with the British Empire at this time, what should we do if the British Empire is?
Yes, this problem is too serious. If it is not done well, it will be a matter of destruction of the country and the race!
So, Salisbury is now facing the criticism of thousands of people indifferently. He is thinking of ways to solve the problem in front of him.
Until now, Salisbury has not considered the gold mine, because he feels that it seems that the gold mine can still be defended. After all, naval warfare is a naval war, and if you want to fight a land war, then the Pacific Empire will definitely not be able to hide it.
If you have to transport troops to such a far distance, how could this not be known by the Empire of Sun and Not Set?
Moreover, the British Empire had many island colonies on the Atlantic Ocean, and they could completely monitor the movements of the Pacific Empire's troops.
In this naval battle, these small island colonies, that is, the naval bases, did not play any role. The key is that the Pacific Empire's actions this time were too sudden. We were allies before, so who would have thought they would do it as soon as possible?
Therefore, what Salisbury is most worried about is the safety of the British Empire. If the Pacific Empire turns to the alliance between Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire because of this stop, then the British Empire will lose the war.
Then, it is really possible that the country will be destroyed. You must know that the war at this time was too tragic, which is completely different from before.
Although everyone fought in the previous European wars, there was a bottom line in the end, that is, like the Franco-Prussian War, in the end, you could come out to mediate, and then the two sides signed an agreement, how much money they paid, how much land they were, etc.
But now, Salisbury has tried hard, but his efforts have not been effective at all!
Germany simply doesn't accept any negotiations, it just does it!
It should be said that Germany also accepted some conditions. For example, William II's mother was Queen Victoria's daughter after all. After all, everyone is a relative. So, I can't help the British Empire, but I have to take it away, completely!
To put it bluntly, there is still a little bit of face, but France is more miserable.
France is now in the Republic, which means... no one mentioned that they were sensational and mediated!
This reflects the importance of a class. That is the aristocrat!
European aristocrats, everyone knows that when they mention it, close relatives, well, many of them are born with deformities, which is really miserable, and then there are all kinds of strange events, and there are some other ** circles or something in the past...
However, since a thing exists, it must have two sides. There must be more reasonable and good things about it.
The nobles are actually a lubricant in Europe!
Everyone has almost fought, so who can come out to mediate. It’s easy to talk to, everyone is a relative. Look, you are my cousin, are you embarrassed to beat me to death?
Yes, it is true that the aristocrats can play this role, so Europe fought so chaoticly, but in the end there was no excessive tragedy.
But now, there are no nobles in France!
They have become republic. It should be said that these upper-class people are quite a "noble", but they are different from those who can speak, and they are all aristocrats in a family. They are really completely different. In the past, Napoleon III was still the same, but now they are not.
So, when this battle came here, it was really a shameless thing. What kind of relatives and family are all bullshit, we just want to die!
Salisbury is not a fool either. How could he not see that if France was completely taken down by Germany, will the British Empire be spared next?
Very scary! Very scary! Very scary! Very scary!
However, what is even more terrifying is still there. Not long after, another news came from South Africa!
"The Boers announced the merger of Delantova and Orange to establish a multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic republic state, the name is South Africa! From now on, the British army must evacuate from South Africa, otherwise it will be ruthlessly attacked by our South Africa!"
Why did the Boers get up again?
When everyone heard the news, they thought so in their hearts because this matter was so strange!
Simply put, it is the Johannesburg Uprising that achieved great success!
This matter...
"No! We lost the gold mine in Johannesburg!" Salisbury made this judgment immediately, and he was very upset!
Someone told him before!
Yes, it's that William Cameron. Didn't this guy talk to Salisbury before that the Pacific Empire wanted the gold mine in South Africa, but Salisbury didn't agree.
That's right, his position is correct, he cannot agree to this matter. He is the British Prime Minister. How can the Prime Minister treason?
But even so, Salisbury couldn't stop this from happening.
Obviously, this must be the Pacific Empire. That emperor just wants that big gold mine. He is such a greedy bastard!
Scolding, it's useless, Salisbury understands it, but he can't help it.
The key is that the current British Empire lacks something, which is to reasonably handle the gold mine rebellion. Yes, of course, the British side is defined as a rebellion, but there is an uprising on the other side.
This is the Boers' uprising. The Boers are the masters of that group. This fact was recognized by Britain, but later it was rejected. Now, people have risen again and defeated the British army. This is what the words mean.
So what to do now?
There is no way!
Britain was in a tough battle in Europe, and it was really difficult to mobilize troops there. The Boers were justified. In addition, there must be a Pacific Empire in it, so how can we take back control of the gold mine?
It's almost impossible, and so...
Is the British Empire going to destroy its country and seed?
Salisbury thought of the worst result, but another news came... (To be continued.)
