Chapter 149 India, the future of the British Empire! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
The people in the audience hall finally understood George Canning's tricks—although he often did some confusing things when he was high, but as long as he played normally, he was still a very powerful British stirrer. shit stick.

As a shit-stirring stick, George Canning's approach is actually the same as Zhuge Weijiu's. It's always easier to join a camp you don't like to do sabotage, especially for sabotage experts like the British Empire. .

Even if their destruction cannot permanently prevent the Rakshasa army from taking Constantinople, it can at least slow down the Rakshasa army from advancing.

Moreover, the Turks are also a nation with abundant military virtues. Their capital Constantinople (the Europeans call Istanbul Constantinople) is also a well-known fortified city in history. In the end, they conquered it, and now they are replaced by Raksha people, so naturally they won't be defeated immediately.

In addition, what Ali Pasha wanted certainly did not include Asia Minor and Constantinople.So the old slicker would stand by and watch at most, and would not take any action until the Raksha people captured Constantinople.

If the Rakshasa were to stop their troops under the fortified city of Constantinople and be unable to attack for a long time, and the international situation changed, it would be hard to say which side Ali Pasha would stand on!

"Duke," at this time, George Canning said to Duke Wellington with a smile again, "although we can delay the pace of Rakshasa Kingdom's southward movement through clever diplomatic means, and buy precious time for the adjustment of the imperial policy. But the decision The cornerstone of the future of the British Empire cannot be diplomacy, only real strength!
Given that our real opponent has a population of 3.6 million and the world's most developed industry, technology, and almost unlimited resources, we obviously cannot rely on the population of more than 2000 million in the British Isles and the millions of people in Canada and Australia. The only thing that can Only India can provide us with sufficient strength!We must truly have India in our hands before the Rakshasa take Constantinople!India must not only exist as a cow of the empire, it must also provide soldiers, munitions, and ships for the empire.If in the future we face an industrialized country with a population of 3.6 million people engaged in military production at full capacity, then we must integrate India into our military industrial chain. "

The Dukes of Wellington frowned again.

His impression of India is not good. It is fine to ask Indians to pay some taxes. Can Indians be relied on for war and military industry?Will the battleship produced by this Indian sink while driving?
"William," George IV obviously agreed with George Canning, "The United Kingdom needs India very much now. So I hope you can go to India with the Duke of Wellington, and then legally become the emperor of the Indian Empire, and in the India organizes a broad-based government. This government must fully consider the interests of the Indian nobles, must be able to mobilize India's manpower, material resources, and financial resources for construction, and must be able to establish a government in India that can support a large-scale war. The industrial system. And the most critical part of this system must be in the hands of the United Kingdom!
Finally, the government of the Indian Empire must be able to muster an army of millions. If we can't avoid a world war with Ming in the end, then we need Indian troops.Only India can provide a huge army that can withstand the Ming army.Of course, the officers of this army must be our own! "

Hearing what the king said, Wellington didn't say anything more.

Because he is also very clear now that when a full-scale war with Ming Dynasty breaks out in the future, India will be the key to the final victory of the British Empire. Because under the same technology and productivity conditions, a population of 3000 million cannot defeat a population of [-] million!But with a population of [-] million, it is possible to defeat a population of [-] million!

Prince William, who has always been in short supply, is very interested in becoming the emperor of India - the annuity of the emperor of India must be large, enough for him to support all his illegitimate children, and he can also arrange fat vacancies for the illegitimate children in India
So at this time, he patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, I have seriously studied the Eastern throne transfer system during this time, and I can guarantee that I can legally become the emperor of the Indian Empire!"

George IV nodded in relief. He also studied this issue when he was free. It seemed that the Indian emperor Barak II had to voluntarily abdicate the throne. He also had to make the princes and ministers from all over India cry. Shouting to persuade William to be emperor!Oh, and you can also find a purple robe to wear when Prince William is asleep.

In short, there are still many ways!

After thinking about these things, George IV asked the new Prime Minister George Canning: "Prime Minister, how does the new government plan to handle the relationship with Daming?"

George Canning said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the ambassador in Vienna to ask Prime Minister Metternich to intervene. He has a very good personal relationship with Zhuge Weijiu, as well as the Queen Mother of France, Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseilles. it is good."

Metternich was the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire, Marie Antoinette was the Archduchess of Austria, and Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille lived in exile in Austria for a long time.After Zhuge Weijiu fled France with Marie Antoinette and others, he also went to Austria.

Everyone has to give the face of the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire.Just when the King of England summoned George Canning, the Prime Minister of the Austrian Empire, Clemens Wenzel von Metternich, had already arrived at Versailles on the outskirts of Paris by train. Went to the Petit Trianon Palace where the Queen Mother of France lived.

"Little Meizi, it's great that you're here. I'm looking for an intermediary who can deliver the message to the British. Originally, Xiao Zhanzi and I are old friends. I didn't expect him to have a stroke when he heard that Turkey was about to end. Yes, even though my life is saved for the time being, this prime minister can no longer be, so I can only take good care of him. I don’t know that new bitch George Canning well, so you must know him very well, right?”

In the living room of the Petit Trianon Palace, Zhuge Weijiu was talking to the visiting Metternich—still speaking Chinese, and affectionately called Metternich "Little Plum".Obviously, he and Metternich are also old acquaintances.

"Great strategist, it was George Canning who asked me to come to France. He wanted me to help mediate the conflict between Ming and Britain." It's honest for a long time, and he made it clear as soon as he came up.

"Hahaha," Zhuge Weijiu said with a smile, holding a cigar in his hand, sitting on a sofa as exquisite as a work of art with his legs crossed, "I guess the request to open the door to Australia must have been rejected. On the part of Malacca, Britain agreed to a concession. In compensation for refusing to open the door to Australia, Britain dropped its support for Japan. Am I right?"

Metternich laughed: "George Canning didn't mention Japan, but he agreed that the Ming Empire could choose one of the Straits of Malacca as a military base."

"Okay," Zhuge Weijiu said with a smile, "I want Batam Island and Bintan Island."

"What?" Metternich was taken aback, "But it's a Dutch colony!"

Zhuge Weijiu shrugged: "That's the problem of the British, and this won't trouble them."

The site that Zhuge Weijiu chose was also very good, and it was blocked at the eastern exit of the Strait of Malacca.Among them, Batam Island is less than 10 nautical miles away from Temasek Island. The latest cannons erected on Batam Island can directly cover the entire Temasek Island!With these two islands, the Strait of Malacca is jointly owned by Ming and Great Britain.

And the reason why he chose these two islands is actually implementing the expansion policy of "small bets and cannibalization" to only eat a little bit at a time, so as not to stimulate the opponent too much, and even if he loses, he will spit out a little profit.

According to this policy, the Ming Empire can break down a big gamble into countless small gambles, squeeze the British Empire and other Western colonists in the east bit by bit, and gradually achieve a strategy of dominating East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Central Asia Target!
