Chapter 757 Be optimistic, Daming will only demonstrate once (first update, please subscribe)
The question of war!

In fact, in many cases, this question is not about who is good or not good at, and ultimately it has to be said according to the strength.

The reason why Ding Zezhong was able to threaten, to put it bluntly, was because his "Flying Dragon" was the most powerful and even the only ironclad ship on the east coast of Africa. On the east coast of Africa, it is a well-deserved king, and this is why it was sent to East Africa - to use it to protect Ming's interests in East Africa.

After all, the problems in East Africa have come to a point where they must be explained.

Of course, the "Flying Dragon" may be very powerful, but the whole of Britain is behind Mars. Naturally, his threat will not have much meaning. At most, it will let the other party temporarily acquiesce in reality and leave the problem to London. That's all for solving, after all, when it comes to issues involving a powerful country, even if it is as tyrannical as the United Kingdom, it can only wait for London's decision.

What decision will London make?

London was of course extremely angry, otherwise British Prime Minister Benjamin would not have cursed out of embarrassment when he received the news.

After all, to a certain extent, Sambagier is within the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom. The division of the Oman Empire was carried out under the auspices of the British and Indian authorities.

And now?

The Ming Empire stretched its hand there, not only stretched its hand there, but even captured the Sultan of Sambagier, how could this not make him feel angry?
In addition to anger, Benjamin found helplessly that all he could do was anger.

Unless he made up his mind to go to war with France, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire other than Ming Dynasty, he had to be patient.

What is the equivalent of such a situation?

It's like a boxer who was once invincible. He used to fight all over the world in the boxing ring, but now he is not facing one boxer, but four!

In the face of four boxers who are only slightly worse than him, all he can do is to back down!
There is no other way but to give in.

Angry, of course Benjamin and all the British politicians were angry, but there was nothing else they could do.

Because they are very clear.Politicians can commit crimes, but they must never make mistakes. The same is true in national affairs. Once they make a wrong decision, it is very likely that the United Kingdom will fall into a situation where it will never be restored.

So at the moment, whether it is because of Sambagill or Japan, it is obviously the most irrational behavior to trigger a war with the four countries.

Angry, but not irrational.

On March 3, when the Ming Empire’s ambassador to Britain and the British Foreign Secretary signed a memorandum of understanding in London, and when Britain withdrew its troops from Japan in exchange for Ming’s withdrawal from Sambagire to declare the end of the incident, European public opinion circles and diplomatic circles A topic that will be discussed there.

"Britain's influence in the world is fading, and the "Quadruple Alliance" is showing its powerful deterrent power."

"Britain has fallen."

In Paris, in Berlin, in Vienna, in Moscow, statesmen and marshals discussed the topic there.

What are they seeing?

Not an apparently fair compromise.But in this competition, Daming is the real winner.

Not only did Ming force the British to withdraw their troops from Japan, but they also acquired large tracts of land in East Africa. No matter how beautiful the text was, it could not change the fact that Ming was the real beneficiary of this incident.For the first time, British authority was challenged in a real sense.

Why did Britain retreat in danger?
The most fundamental reason is because they clearly know that Britain is not yet capable of challenging the four countries.So when facing Ming Dynasty, Britain made a very sensible choice.

How could the weakness and concessions of the British Empire not shock the world?

"Haha, did you see that?"

In the Louvre, Emperor Napoleon IV, speaking to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Duke of Gramont.

"Now the whole world has seen the weakness of the British, just like what he said when we formed an alliance with Ming Dynasty - as long as we form a close alliance, then Britain will have nothing to fear."

Once upon a time, many people doubted how much deterrence the "Quadruple Alliance" would have on the United Kingdom?After all, in their view, Britain has never compromised to any threat.Britain will only choose to accept the challenge.

This is also the fundamental reason why after the signing of the "Quadruple Alliance Treaty", it has not played a big role until now.Because France, Russia, and Austria all know very well that the British are difficult to compromise.

It is also because of this that they realized the powerful deterrent effect of the alliance treaty after they discovered that Britain had suddenly compromised.

In fact, this time, testing the bottom line of Britain in Tokyo was a completely unexpected gain—because whether in France, Russia or Austria, in the eyes of their envoys, Britain did not have a strong desire to occupy Japan, otherwise they would not The existence of "safe zone" will be allowed.

After all, Japan...is the periphery of the empire's interests for the United Kingdom. They did not see the reason why the United Kingdom would go to war for Japan and Ming Dynasty. At this time, diplomats must of course use their own characteristics.

But the British, the United Kingdom, has always been wary of the "Quadruple Alliance". Faced with the attitude of the ministers of several countries, what is the reaction of the United Kingdom?
Oh my mom, they really teamed up!
The United Kingdom is weak, not their opponent!
So Britain chose to back down, not only in Japan, but also in East Africa!
Ever since, Britain's retreat, in the eyes of France, Russia, Austria and other European countries-this is the weakness of the empire!
Why did the once invincible British Empire back down in front of a rising star?

It was not the Ming Empire that made the British Empire retreat, but the alliance of the four great empires!
It was the power of the four empires that forced the British Empire to make concessions.

And this also allowed the four great empires, including France, to see their own strength.This is why Napoleon IV was so excited.

As the emperor, Eugene has always been eager to establish his own merits, and then become a veritable emperor.Just like Emperor Napoleon I, he won support from all aspects of France through his brilliant military exploits, not like his father, all kinds of political means, even pleasing the people to gain the support of the people, even his father's throne is very unstable of.

However, he was afraid of the power of the United Kingdom, but now... Da Ming gave him a demonstration—look, it should be done this way!

Daming not only did it once, but also did it twice.

"Duke Gramont, now it's our turn to do it."

Napoleon IV said to his foreign minister with a smile.

"My father tried to expand in Libya a few years ago, but the threat of the British stopped him. Now..."

There was a pause, and then Napoleon IV spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"It's time to fulfill my father's dream."

When he said these words, Napoleon IV was excited, and of course he was also full of gratitude. He was grateful to his... cousin-in-law.

In fact, he knows, he knows that guy is his mother's lover, but he doesn't reject these things, after all, he loves his mother and also worships him, even in his opinion, it's normal for his mother to be obsessed with him .

Because it is easy for a hero to win a woman's heart, and Emperor Zhu is a hero.

At this moment, Eugene even thought of his wife who had always been very indifferent to him. Maybe, when he became a great emperor like Napoleon, she would no longer be so indifferent...

"Thank you for giving me another chance!"
