Chapter 497 The British Who Wants to Cut Their Flesh (Part [-], please subscribe)
What is the UK?
The famous "shit stir stick" ah!

When the Prussians and the French fought, Britain was so happy!All they had to do was drink black tea and eat snacks to enjoy the scuffle in continental Europe.

But now?
Brits are annoying!
Because the development of the situation was completely beyond their expectations, Prussia, which seemed to have a strong military force, was actually defeated!
France, suffering from internal and external troubles, actually won!
"We must restore the situation, at all costs!"

William Ewart Gladstone replied bluntly.

"For hundreds of years, Britain's European policy has been France, which is to attack France. By attacking France to maintain the balance of Europe, in order to ensure the interests of the United Kingdom, but now this balance has been seriously damaged! We not only need to face a country without a country. At the same time, we have to face a newly rising country."

"William, do you mean Nan Hua?"

Victoria thought of the man her best friend mentioned in her letter. Although Eugenie's letter did not mention the relationship between the two, the love in her words was hard to conceal.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After nodding, Gladstone felt mixed feelings in his heart.

"Nanhua is simply a destroyer of order! Your Majesty, after the Spanish colonies in South America took advantage of the Napoleonic War to gain independence, it took British politicians more than half a century to create a South America that we can control, from Peru to Chile, From Argentina to Brazil, they all depend on British capital to a large extent, and their domestic and foreign affairs are all influenced by us, but the appearance of Nanhua has destroyed all of this. They not only occupied Chile and Argentina, but even destroyed Our layout for Europe,"

Nan Hua is the destroyer of order!
In London's political circles, there is a "deep hatred" for Nanhua, and there is no other reason. "Balance" is actually the basis for Britain to usurp interests around the world, but now all of this is facing a situation of disintegration.

"Your Majesty, we are now facing the worst situation since the Napoleonic Wars!"

The Prime Minister's words surprised Queen Victoria.

"How could this be?"

Although she doesn't care about government affairs, Queen Victoria certainly cares about her kingdom and Britain's world dominance.

"Your Majesty, now the balance of Europe has been destroyed. France, without restraint, will compete with us all over the world. Whether we want to or not, this is an inevitable reality. In Mexico, the French army is still there to support us. With Maximilian I’s Mexican Empire, in Southeast Asia, France has occupied Nam Kyi (South Vietnam), this is the past, and what will we face in the future?”

Looking at the frowning queen, Gladstone continued.

"We also have to face the expansion of Nanhua in South America. Nanhua and France have formed an alliance. When our attention is on South America, France will expand in other regions. While we focus on France, we are bound to relax our attention to South America. Your Majesty, this is exactly the situation we are facing!"

With one against two, this situation is something that Britain has tried its best to avoid for many years.Britain has always used diplomatic efforts to put its opponents in a situation where one enemy is many, but the alliance between France and South China has changed everything.

"Then what are the plans of the Cabinet?"

Once again, Queen Victoria asked.

"We must rely on other forces to restrain them, and to fight against them through extensive alliances and diplomacy. There is no other way!"

What is the reason why the UK can become a "shit stirrer"?
It relies on diplomacy and alliances.

Faced with such a predicament now, Britain naturally thinks of its magic weapon.Use diplomacy to plant the fuse of future conflicts between countries, and then create a situation that is beneficial to itself.

"Your Majesty, a few months ago, the Hudson's Bay Company agreed to sell the land in Northwest Territories of North America to the American Company, also known as "South China". Although there are still some problems in this land transaction, legally speaking , the government does not have the power to block this transaction."

When it comes to the millions of square kilometers of land transactions in the northwest region, Gladstone couldn't help complaining about the greed of the merchants. They always only have interests in their eyes. If it is not for the law, those damned merchants, even Will sell the entire Hudson's Bay Company to Nanhua.

However, this is the past, now?All this changed quietly.

"So, the cabinet is ready to stop blocking the Hudson's Bay Company from selling land?"

Victoria took a sip of her tea.

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only agree to sell the Northwest Territories to them, but we can even sell the British Columbia Colony to them!"

"What? British Columbia!"

Victoria frowned and asked.

"That's our colony!"

The Colony of British Columbia is located on the west coast of the North American continent, bordering Alaska to the north and the continental United States to the south, covering an area of ​​94.47 square kilometers.In fact, in the past few years, the United Kingdom has been planning to hand over this place to Canada. One is to prevent the United States from taking the entire Pacific coast of North America into its pocket; "The heavy burden.

Although it is a burden, it is a British colony anyway.

"Your Majesty, the colony of British Columbia is just a colony with a large land area, sparsely populated and heavily indebted, but Americans have never stopped their desire and ambition for that land, especially after the division of the United States, the North has been eager to buy land to strengthen itself , even if we hand over this land to Canada, it will still be a burden on Canada, but if it is sold to Nanhua, it will not only make Nanhua border the United States, but also intensify the conflict between the two countries. A large amount of arms was exported, which even directly led to the division of the United States. If the British Columbia colony is purchased by Nanhua, under our diplomatic manipulation, this will inevitably lead to a war!"

The corners of his lips fluttered, and Gladstone said in a smug tone.

"There is a war between South China and the United States. Of course, through the land sale, we can get a lot of money. Of course, we are not short of the money, but we will ask them for another kind of money that we need. s things!"
