Chapter 862 British Traditional Skills (First update, please subscribe)
Enemy of Civilization!
John Andre didn't know that his remarks actually told the whole world directly that Daming was different from them.

As a journalist, or a political commentator, John never imagined that his point of view would be recognized in many countries in a few years. "It became popular in various countries.

Facing the sudden rise of empires in the New World, Europeans began to worry about their "civilization right to speak".

But now...not many people realize this reality, or now when Europe's attention is attracted by Turkey, Ming...no country will pay attention, even the British have noticed, so what ?

Whether it is the Imperial Alliance Fleet or the spaceships of the Ming Empire, they are telling the British a reality - they are powerless to interfere!
Of course, being powerless to interfere is powerless to interfere. At the beginning of the war, Britain began to export a large amount of arms to Brazil. Ships transporting arms entered and left Brazil’s ports almost every day. This is also the reason why the "New World" ship was able to enter Rio de Janeiro. It seems that Daming, did not realize the importance of blocking the port at all.

When the "New Continent" sailed to Yingtian, in Yingtian's British embassy, ​​the British ambassador to Ming Dynasty, Stanley Howard Harris, the third Earl of Malmesbury and the son of the former British Foreign Secretary , is discussing the issue of war with Brian in his office.

"We can see that even when the Brazilian Navy was completely destroyed, the Ming Empire still did not send their cruisers or warships to the coast of Brazil to block ports and prohibit merchant ships from entering and leaving. It seems that they have no will at all."

As a Lieutenant Commander of the Navy, Brian has been trying his best to collect various intelligences in the past few years.

"And according to the information we have received, their goal of declaring war on Brazil seems to be limited. It is only limited to recovering the Mato Grosso region, which is rich in yerba mate tea, occupied by Brazil in the northeastern part of Paraguay. Of course, there is also a The purpose is to occupy Uruguay, and our intelligence shows that their goal is based on the safety of the capital, after all, their capital is just across the river from Uruguay..."

"It's inevitable!"

The major's report made Stanley think deeply.

"The Ming Empire is a lonely existence in South America. They are not only different from Spanish-speaking countries established by Spanish descendants, but also different from Portuguese-descended Brazil. They are also completely different from those descendants of Spaniards and Portuguese. When facing these people, what I feel is a threat, and this threat is like mutual distrust between races..."

After thinking about it, Stanley thought of a Chinese word.

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart. What does this mean? It means that people of different races must be full of hostility, Major. They will never tolerate the territory of other countries near the capital. Therefore, this battle The goal of the war Ming Empire is probably very simple, it is to occupy Uruguay! Ensure the safety of the capital."

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, this reminds me of another word of the Chinese people - how can others snore on the side of the couch. Under this tradition, their occupation of Uruguay is inevitable!"

After staying in China for a long time, I always say a few Chinese-style vocabulary, and Brian is no exception. After saying this sentence, he asked again.

"And what about our attitude in this war?"

"Our attitude?"

Stanley asked directly.

"Major, my friend, what does the British Empire need? A united and friendly world?"

Shaking his fingers lightly, Stanley said in a tone full of mission.

"What the British Empire needs has never been a peaceful and beautiful world. For the benefit of the British Empire, what kind of South America do we need? Of course it is fragmented, and it is a country full of conflicts between countries, and it may happen at any time. In South America where the war broke out, after Argentina was destroyed by the Ming Empire, what did we see? The Ming Empire and Brazil colluded to carve up Paraguay and Uruguay. The two countries seem to have become good neighbors. This is obviously not in our interest. Now……"

With a sneer, Stanley said.

"The Brazilians are just paying the price for their short-sightedness. The Ming Empire will soon occupy Uruguay on the east coast, but what about Brazil? They are mobilizing the army, and the two sides will continue to fight in the future, no matter what the outcome of the war is." The results are over, and peace between their two countries will never be restored!"

When the word "peace" was mentioned, Stanley's face was full of sarcasm. What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot? Isn't that what it is!

How did Brazil collude with Ming Dynasty back then, and one Uruguay fed them, but now?
Daming is teaching Brazil how to behave, isn't this just retribution!

Not retribution, but the inevitability of international politics.

"It seems to be a good thing for the British Empire! This war!"

Brian looked at the ambassador and said.

"So, our position is neutral?"

"It's not neutral in a simple sense. We need Brazil to contain the power of the Ming Empire in the New World, especially at this time. Now we are in a very embarrassing situation. The Royal Navy we are proud of can't stop France, Ming, and Russia at all. As well as the imperial alliance fleet of Austria-Hungary, in the face of their expansion around the world, we can only swallow our breath."

As a diplomat, Stanley never imagined that the British Empire would one day face such a dilemma.

"Now our diplomats are fighting for our allies all over the world. We have to build new alliances to fight against their allies, but there is not much we can do before that, but right now...Da Ming and Brazil The war between China and China has largely restrained Ming's power, making it impossible for them to send troops to Turkey with the French. Therefore, when we maintain neutrality, we must give Brazil support as much as possible. This is also The reason why London provided Brazil with aid worth two million pounds, we need them to stop the ambitions of the Ming people on the South American continent, Major."

While speaking, Stanley stood up, walked to the window and looked at the city outside the window, and then said in an extremely sighing tone.

"What is our responsibility as diplomats? It is to go all out for the interests of the empire,"
