Chapter 791 The deadliest cut to Britain (fourth more, please subscribe)
For warriors, Emperor Zhu certainly trusted them!
Just like the Tsar trusted the Cossacks, the Great Britain trusted Asan.Can you distrust all imperial consumables?
Give consumables a certain amount of trust, and use their blood as fuel to light up the great cause of the empire, so that the people of the empire can enjoy a better life under the burning light of imperial consumables.

This is the proper meaning of the empire!
Consumables should not only be trusted, but also praised. Facing the loyalty of the Dongying warriors who enthusiastically signed up for the enlistment, Emperor Zhu was moved. In order to show his care for his retainers, Emperor Zhu ordered all the enlisted warriors to fight abroad. At that time, Enlu increased by [-]%.

This is not a small expense, it is equivalent to adding ten catties of rice!
Hey, the cost is a bit high.

But there is no way!
What people give is life, what Ming gives is rice.There should be an extra three or five fights.

When tens of thousands of samurai carried their family katana swords and put on military uniforms and embarked on the journey, the call of Ming Dynasty caused unprecedented repercussions in Europe.

In the British newspapers, the cartoon of the Ming Emperor and the French goddess rushing to North Africa embraced each other, and it was written directly.

"Occupy Egypt!"

Faced with such a threat, No. 10 Downing Street was naturally very nervous.A single France has already made the UK a little overwhelmed, not to mention that now Ming has recruited another [-] Japanese samurai.

What are they going to do?
Are they really going to intervene in North Africa?
Almost at the beginning of the recruitment, the consul stationed in Japan was asking what Ming meant. After refusing to respond on the grounds of military confidentiality, the British ambassador to Ming asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ming again. , In the end, it was a promise that "this time the Japanese soldiers will never be sent to North Africa".

But everyone knows that the promises between countries are basically...adjusted at any time according to changes in timing.

It was at this time that No. 10 Downing Street was dumbfounded by a telegram from the British Cape Town Colony—the Ming army appeared on the coast of Namibia in the north of the Cape Town Colony.

"Their expeditionary forces are heading inland!"

Earl Henry Herbert, the Colonial Secretary of the British Empire, said in an extremely serious tone.

"Your Excellency, everything is now clear. The French occupy North Africa. The North Africa under their control will put the entire Suez Canal under their control, while the Ming occupies Southwest Africa. The Ming and the French have colluded. , not only seriously damaged the interests of Britain in South Africa, but also threatened Britain's interests in the East. If Britain's hegemony in this area cannot be guaranteed, the sea routes from Britain to India will also be threatened - from Suez From the canal to Southwest Africa, all routes are under the threat of Ming and France, and India is the core interest of the British Empire. Therefore, the attempts of the Ming people must be thwarted."

From everyone's point of view, Henry's worry is undoubtedly in line with judgment, and the facts are like this. According to Emperor Zhu's plan, once the war with Britain breaks out, the "Quadruple Alliance" will directly affect Britain from all aspects. Threat, what is the ultimate goal?

It is to isolate Britain!
The key to defeating the United Kingdom is to restore the United Kingdom to the British Isles, disintegrate the huge British colonial empire through control of key areas, and prevent the United Kingdom from receiving resources from overseas colonies.

Why did Germany fail to challenge Britain in World War I and World War II?
Is it just because of the declaration of war by the United States?
Of course not, what is the core reason?No matter how much blood the British shed, they can get supplements from their huge overseas colonies. It is the overseas colonies that allow Britain to continue to fight. Industrial raw materials from overseas are also unable to obtain food, meat and other daily necessities.

Failure was doomed from the moment Germany was cut off from the world.

In fact, this is what Britain is best at. Britain has never been a Roman-style military empire. They are more like the Carthaginians. The purpose of war is for trade, and the goal of trade is for money. They will use the lowest cost method Carrying out war, and through the blockade and isolation at sea, is the key to Britain's defeat of Spain, the Netherlands, Napoleon and the second and third virtues.

Emperor Zhu, who stood on the shoulders of the giant of history, of course knew the secret of Britain's strength. Therefore, from the very beginning, his strategic plan was aimed at disintegrating the lifeblood of the British Empire.

Whether it is the "Eat Soil Alliance" or the "African Raiders", in essence, they are all sharp daggers stabbing at the foundation of the British Empire, and they are also deadly.

Faced with such a situation, how could they not be worried.

"Yes, Your Excellency, our retreat will only fuel the ambitions of the French and Ming people. Their ambitions are expanding. They are arrogantly challenging the United Kingdom around the world. Your Excellency Prime Minister, we must stop them, otherwise, They will destroy everything we have!"

Edward, as Foreign Secretary, had had enough of backing down. In the past few months, the British had been slapped in the face, the Ming had slapped them twice in East Africa and Japan, the French had been slapped in Libya. Slapped them in the face again.

This face hurts!

"America, Italy, Germany, are they willing to join the alliance?"

As prime minister, Benjamin certainly knew the answer.Facing the threat of the "Quadruple Alliance", what is the answer given by the United Kingdom?Just ally like them.

"Although Italy is very interested now, the United States and Germany are on the sidelines, at least for now they are not willing to join the Entente,"

Shrugging helplessly, Edward said.

"What Bismarck needs to consider is balance. He is worried about being attacked from three sides. As for the United States, they also have the same problem. Both Ming and Mexico are threats to the United States. However, they do not think it is time to intensify conflicts with France and Ming... "

The answer of the foreign minister made Benjamin feel helpless. Whether it was Germany or the United States, the problems they were worried about were of course real, but what were the more realistic problems?
"He is waiting for our offer!"

Benjamin said with a headache.

"Without a suitable price, they will not join the alliance, but what price can the UK offer now?"

Benjamin, who only felt a headache, said while rubbing his brows.

"Support the United States' request for British Columbia. Perhaps this is the only option for the United States to board the ship. They will definitely not refuse. After all, they are cutting flesh on Ming's body. And Italy, their ambition is not just a papal state , they also have ambitions for the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. As for Bismarck, that guy, is his ambition just for the real unification of Germany? Only God knows. In this case, let their To board the ship, we have to offer enough prices... This is really a headache! Every time we offer a price, it will make them stronger, so the problem comes, the threat of France and Ming Dynasty is eliminated In the end, will theirs become a new threat to Britain?"

No one can answer this question, which is why Britain has not drawn up an alliance until now-not because it doesn't want to, but because it is worried that its opponents will become stronger.

This is the pain of being the boss.

On one side are those damn France and Daming, who slashed the knives in their hands towards the deadliest place in Britain.

Faced with such a situation, even if the United Kingdom wants to take action, it is the "Quadruple Alliance"!The threat is real.

Even if they want to win over a group of little brothers to deal with the Quadruple Alliance, will those little brothers become a threat to Britain in the future?

Looking at the headache-ridden prime minister, Edward said.

"Your Excellency, the problem now is South West Africa! We must stop them there!"
