Chapter 593 Emperor Zhu's Three Emperors Alliance (First update, please subscribe)
Who is the most detached European in the Ming Empire?
It must be Buffett.

He was not only an early partner of His Majesty the Emperor, but also a good friend. He also made great contributions to Daming's establishment and rise in South America!

It is also because of this that after Emperor Zhu ascended the throne, although he could not be knighted due to the limitation of "not being knighted for non-military merit", he was still awarded the Qingyun Medal-this award is for civil servants who have contributed to the country's government affairs. And non-civil servants and foreigners who have made outstanding contributions to the national society.

Similar to the "rankless lord" of the winner of the "Iron Bond Medal", the winner of the Qingyun Medal is a "rankless man".

As the "Secretary" of the Ming Empire, Buffett's status in the Ming Dynasty is quite detached. As a close friend of the royal family, he has always won the trust of Zhu Xianhai.

This kind of trust is not only due to the old relationship, but more importantly, Buffett's loyalty has been tested.

"...Britain should be our biggest threat. Compared with the UK, we are too weak. Our shipbuilding capabilities and our heavy industry are definitely far behind the UK. So the alliance with France is for us to protect ourselves A choice, after all, France is the second most powerful country in the world!"

In the palace dining room, after the women had left, Zhu Xianhai chatted with Buffett.

"There is only one France, not Britain's opponent, so you plan to pull Russia into the alliance?"

Buffett is no longer the former Amon. Now he is not only the manager of the American company, but also a diplomat. He naturally has a certain understanding of Daming's strategic layout.

"However, two issues need to be resolved. The first is to resolve the conflict between Russia and France. The second is how to draw Russia into this alliance!"

While cutting the steak with a knife and fork, Buffett thought for a while, and then said.

"It is not difficult to resolve the conflict between Russia and France. After all, Russia has always wanted to improve relations with France, but Napoleon III..."

When mentioning taking three, Buffett naturally thought of the queen he met in Paris last month and the Duke of Normandy. No one else knew, but he knew very well whose son the Duke was.

"He doesn't seem to be willing to improve relations with Russia. After all, the Battle of Crimea is his glory. After all, he defeated Russia that his uncle had never defeated there. Therefore, adjusting relations with Russia may Very difficult."

"I can't help him!"

Zhu Xianhai shook his head and said.

"In order to keep the crown, Napoleon III can only launch wars abroad to divert and alleviate domestic conflicts. That's why he successively launched or participated in the Crimean War, the Italian War of Unification, the Second Opium War, and the Mexican War. Franco-Prussian war. This trick is actually very useful. It can not only consolidate the rule but also increase the prestige. The premise is that it can always win the battle. However, the side effects are also quite obvious. Once you lose any battle, you will lose everything. "

Picking up the wine glass, Zhu Xianhai took a sip of the wine produced in Linhai Central Valley, and then continued.

"Now the glory brought by the Franco-Prussian War is fading, and the political crisis in France will happen again at any time. In order to keep the crown, he must launch a war!"

What is de uncoordinated?

Taking three is a typical example. Even though the Franco-Prussian War was not defeated, the French Empire still has not escaped the political and social crisis, and the French Empire is almost on the verge of collapse.

The reason why Nasan declared war on Prussia was itself a political gamble, because war is the best way to divert conflicts and attention.

"Now, all I need is to give Napoleon III a reason to ease relations with Russia and actively invite them to join the alliance. Once this alliance is formed, Buffett, my friend, this "Three Emperors Alliance" It might even change the whole world."

When mentioning the "Alliance of Three Emperors", Zhu Xianhai raised his wine glass proudly, feeling the fragrance of the wine in the glass, the corners of his lips were lightly raised, and his expression was full of complacency.

"How is this possible? The British will never want to see the emergence of this alliance..."

Buffett frowned and said.

"After all, this will break the balance of power in Europe!"

"This is what we're going to break!"

Swaying the wine glass lightly, Zhu Xianhai said.

"The UK has long been playing the role of an "offshore balancer" in Europe. What are their European policies and regulations? It is to check and balance the number one power in Europe or a country that poses a huge threat to the UK's overseas business by uniting with the sub-powers of the European continent. This object, It is both France and Russia. During the Napoleonic Wars, they united with Russia to attack France, and Crimea united with France to attack Russia. This "shit-stirring stick" used their diplomatic skills to split Europe into pieces, and then calmly seek overseas interests. , and now, all we need is to break it all down."

Only by breaking the UK's balanced policy towards Europe and turning the situation in Europe into a chaotic mess can Da Ming benefit from it. The current UK is too strong, and being strong is not something Da Ming can challenge.

But two fists can't stop four hands. What if France and Russia gang up on Britain?

By that time, the British will be lucky.

"This one……"

Buffett frowned deeply, he thought for a while, and then said.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem easy! We have to persuade the Russians to join the alliance, and at the same time, we have to persuade the French to form an alliance with the Russians. Your Majesty, this is almost impossible!"

How is it not possible?

In another world, isn't Bismarck's most proud diplomatic achievement the establishment of the "Three Emperors Alliance"?Through alliances with Austria-Hungary and Russia, Germany succeeded in its goal of isolating and weakening France.

If it weren't for William II being too stupid and narrow-mindedly pushing Russia out, how could the Second Empire be destroyed in World War I.

Since he, Bismarck, could do it, Emperor Zhu, who stepped on the shoulders of historical giants, could of course do it too.

Once this event is successful, there will be no more "Bismarck diplomacy" in the world.

At that time, there will only be left—Emperor Zhu's diplomacy!
"Benefit!"

Zhu Xianhai said with a smile:

"We have no permanent allies or permanent enemies, only permanent interests, and our mission is to pursue these interests - all we need is to give them a temptation that they will never be able to refuse!"

What is the temptation that can never be refused?
Between countries, it is also possible to lure them to benefit.

"What? What kind of benefits are they unable to refuse?"

Buffett looked at the emperor blankly.Obviously he has no way to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"It's very simple. After the defeat of Russia's Crimea, all they desire is revenge. As long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely jump up without hesitation. They will never refuse to form an alliance with France. After all, this is their way to win the war. Chance!"

Smiling, Emperor Zhu said again.

"The only problem is Napoleon III. The reason why he is unwilling to ease the relationship with the Russians, to put it bluntly, is because he feels that the victory in the Crimean War is his glory, and he feels that the easing of relations will definitely damage his glory. .”

Taking three is just so... naive.In his opinion, nothing seems to be more important than face, of course this is also sometimes.

"Now we can send him an even more glorious honor, one that he cannot refuse."

Squinting his eyes into a thin slit, Zhu Xianhai said seriously.

"He likes glory, so let's fulfill him. Just tie them to our chariot!"

Bind France and Russia firmly to Ming's chariot!This is the global strategy of Ming Dynasty in the future.

To put it bluntly, it is to reduce the third child and the second child to his side, and then fight the boss together.

Two fists are invincible to four hands!

At that time, Da Ming will have six pairs of fists, so I will ask you if Da Ming is afraid of you!
