The Rise of the Empire

The idea of ​​the French is very simple. Now the annual output value of this diamond mine is as high as more than 5 million pounds. Due to the shortage of labor force, this output value may lose 30%! That is at least 1.5 million pounds. This loss is absolutely not allowed by the Bavarian royal family. Losing an order for a battleship a year! Don't talk about Bavaria, even if you change to the French, it will hurt your heart. \u003c/p\u003eAlthough the French and the Germans are enemies, considering that this is an economic matter after all, if Bavaria is willing to make concessions and give up some Russian orders, then the two sides are not impossible to negotiate, and in the eyes of the French Well, the expansion of the German navy is imminent. Even if Bavaria gives up the Russian order, it can still get orders from the German navy. It's just a matter of changing hands. What can't be discussed? \u003c/p\u003eOf course, some people say that Bavaria can import labor from other places. Come on, the French account for more than one-third of the 30 million square kilometers of Africa, the British account for 8.8 million square kilometers, and Belgium and Britain and France Good Relationship. These three countries accounted for more than two-thirds at once, and there were not many places left for the prince to choose, and the cost of importing labor from other places had to be considered. The French have worked hard diplomatically, and there is every chance that Bavaria will not be able to obtain enough labor. \u003c/p\u003eSo, when the French planned this operation, they felt that they were full of good cards! There is no reason to lose! Now Speaker Charles is thinking, should Bavaria submit, should it submit, or should it submit? Or in other words, when is the other party planning to give up! \u003c/p\u003eAs far as the current situation is concerned, the situation is not a small one, but a great one! The German government did not make any too tough statements, and the German troops stationed in Namibia did not take any action, and the only thing that made the French feel a little uncomfortable was that two Munich-class armored cruisers went to Africa! And this is also the fundamental reason why this Portuguese envoy came to France. The Portuguese are also very scared! \u003c/p\u003e"Do you really believe that the German government will threaten a European country for the Kingdom of Bavaria? It's just a matter of hundreds of thousands of marks. From an economic point of view, the cost of sailing just two armored cruisers is already It's more than the intermediary fee for escaping from Bavaria." Charles smiled and comforted the nervous Portuguese in front of him. \u003c/p\u003e"But now the fact is that the Germans have sent a fleet! Their goal is Africa, and it is reported that they will be cruising off the coast of Angola! The reality is ten thousand times worse than you think! So respectable Speaker , we have imposed sanctions on Bavaria according to your country's request, I would like to ask, if this sanction leads to unforeseen consequences, will your country protect its allies?" Frank asked anxiously. \u003c/p\u003e"Allies? We are at most just partners. You also cooperated with us to curb Germany's penetration of Angola!" Charles scoffed at Frank's words in his heart, but now, he still hopes to stabilize Portugal. special envoy. After all, Bavaria has not surrendered yet. \u003c/p\u003e"Don't forget that the French Republic currently has 2 battleships and 3 cruisers in Africa. The total tonnage of our fleet is three times that of the Germans! Anyone who wants to break it will be opposed by other major powers. The Germans will never be enemies of Europe for a little benefit."\u003c/p\u003e"Think about it, even in the most difficult year of 1891, when the British fleet When the guns were aimed at the capital of your country, didn't they just let your country withdraw some armed personnel, and did not completely usurp your country's colonies? Since even the British dare not, then the Germans must not have the courage ’” Charles said confidently. \u003c/p\u003eYes,

It was full of confidence. At this time, Charles was sure that the two warships should be out to perform some kind of routine cruise mission. From the information obtained by the French, it can be seen that the two warships had made full preparations before sailing. , and the Yarrow incident has only been a week since it happened, so this fleet is definitely not directed at the Portuguese. Of course, in order to take care of the feelings of the little brother, Prussia may let these two warships conduct a battle. Deterrence. However, direct military action is unlikely. \u003c/p\u003eMoreover, if the two warships headed to the United States are counted, the size of the German fleet has been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to mobilize a large-scale fleet to launch an expedition to Africa in a short period of time. What about taking some "radical" actions against Portugal? The French believed that their fleet in Africa could calm down the Germans. \u003c/p\u003eIt's not that the French are willing to go to war for the Portuguese and the Germans, nor is it because the French are confident that their fleet can match the German fleet, but because the French know very well that any event can be easy-going And gradually fade. \u003c/p\u003eThis is like two young and energetic young people. When conflicts suddenly break out, the two sides are the easiest to fight, but as time goes by, the possibility of both sides fighting will decrease, so in the eyes of the French Come on, as long as the initial "dangerous period" is over, then nothing major will happen! The French are still confident in getting through this "dangerous period", and their willingness is very simple. In West Africa at this moment, the French fleet is the strongest! \u003c/p\u003eOf course, the French will not easily fight with the Germans. If Germany just aimed its guns at the city, or bombed two cannons, the French would stand by and watch, because doing so made other countries feel arrogant. In addition, it will not be of any use, at most it will destroy a few houses? \u003c/p\u003eAnd when the powerful French fleet rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred, and diplomatically appealed to other countries to ensure the territorial integrity of Portugal, no matter how arrogant the Germans were, they would never continue to launch attacks when their strength was clearly weak Bar? Moreover, the commander of this German squadron is only an officer, and it is impossible for them to take too drastic actions without the authorization of the government! \u003c/p\u003eAnd when the international situation reverses, if the German government wants to take action, it has to weigh the reactions of other countries. The French are worthy of being an old imperialist country. The planning was clearly well thought out. \u003c/p\u003e"Of course, now I think the Portuguese government should first issue a statement, characterizing this matter as an economic conflict, and expressing its willingness to negotiate with Germany to weaken the confrontation between the two sides. Only in this way, we It is more convenient to intervene in this matter." Charles finally reminded. \u003c/p\u003eThis chapter was posted in advance, please subscribe for support~~~!
