Chapter 1311 Secret Meeting
Of course, although Prime Minister David does not believe that the Russian Labor Party will always remain "pure", it is obviously still a long time before the Russian Labor Party degenerates, just like idealists can only see who is the real gold and who is the mud disguised as gold after being constantly destroyed by the bloody reality.

Prime Minister David believes that the Russian Labor Party is a group of cynical "impulsive people" who will eventually return to realistic issues over time.

But their early impulse is enough to cause huge damage to any country, especially the most industrialized country in the world like Britain.

The struggle between the British government and grassroots workers has a long history. With a huge workforce in the UK, it has become a social force that cannot be ignored.

Naturally, the UK is also one of the most active regions in the European Labour Party. Even Carl, an important founder of the Labour Party, is buried in a cemetery in the UK.

Therefore, the British government was naturally highly vigilant about the Russian Revolution, fearing that this wave would be repeated in Britain. Therefore, using East Africa to contain the Russian Labour Party was indeed a good idea in the eyes of Prime Minister David.

East Africa is also a monarchy, so even though it is a potential competitor to British hegemony, the attitudes of the two countries towards the Labour Party are completely trustworthy.

Subsequently, Prime Minister David and Balfour organized a meeting of the British government cabinet to discuss how to use East Africa to fight against the Russian Labour Party.

Just two days later, the cabinet had a clear strategy. After all, compared with parliament, internal cabinet meetings have fewer distractions and it is easier to unify ideas and reach consensus.

On the third day, Prime Minister David submitted a bill to Parliament on the issue of "re-division of power in the Indian Ocean". As expected, the bill passed the parliament's review smoothly.

After all, Britain currently has no better choice. It is necessary to stabilize East Africa and prevent it from joining the Allies. It is also essential to target the Russian Labor Party. At the same time, this division of spheres of influence, under the guise of "territorial exchange", can also maintain the dignity and face of the empire.

Even if a small number of people do not agree with the compromise between the government and East Africa, they will not form a strong opposition voice. With the opening of East Africa's market, a pro-East African faction has formed in the UK in recent years. Even though their size and voice are not large, their voices are enough to cover up the voices of opponents.

Of course, the so-called pro-East African faction does not really "love" East Africa, but is a new interest group that has profound interests in East Africa.

With the economic rise of East Africa in recent years, trade with the UK has grown bigger and bigger. Naturally, some people can profit from the trade between East Africa and the UK, and these people naturally hope that the relationship between East Africa and the UK will be stable.

This kind of political faction is ultimately formed by reality and is dominated by real interests. It is widely present in every country.

Just like before the outbreak of the war, the political influence of the "pro-German" factions in Britain was no less strong, but they ultimately failed to prevent the shift in imperial policy.

Rhine City.

Britain acted quickly. Just two weeks later, British Ambassador to East Africa Thomson came to the East African government with instructions from the British government to conduct consultations between the two countries.

Emperor Ernst, Crown Prince Friedrich and other East African high-level officials attended the secret meeting between the two countries.

Thomson said: "Regarding the thoughts of our British Empire, in view of the increasing tensions in the world today and the threats posed by piracy in the Indian Ocean to trade in various countries, my government is willing to have a deeper discussion with your country on the Indian Ocean issue."

"But your Majesty the Emperor of the Rhine Empire, and all the high-ranking officials of the Rhine Empire, we in the UK also have a small request before, and this request is also the basis of this negotiation."

The so-called Indian Ocean piracy issue was obviously a phrase used by the UK to give legitimacy to the meeting and to cover up the true purpose of the meeting. After all, this negotiation was essentially a political compromise between the UK and East Africa, so it could not be conducted so straightforwardly.

Jointly maintaining the security of the world's trade routes in the Indian Ocean and solving the piracy problem seems much more noble, and the British government naturally becomes a messenger for maintaining world peace and security.

The senior officials of the East African government naturally did not point out these small details. Ernst asked directly: "I wonder what the British requirements are, Mr. Ambassador Thomson?"

Thomson said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, our request this time will not be difficult for your country to do, but will greatly benefit all countries in the world."

"I believe your country is also aware that the evil Russian Labor Party has become powerful in Russia. The Labor Party is a destroyer of order for all countries in the world, just like pests in the farmland."

"He is gnawing at the foundations of legitimate governments in various countries, inciting the masses who are ignorant of the truth, and causing great damage to world peace and order. I wonder if your country agrees with our point of view?"

Ernst naturally said affirmatively: "Of course, in our attitude towards the Russian Labor Party, we in East Africa are consistent with your country."

Ambassador Thomson said, "Yes, but now there is a problem. All countries in the world have the obligation to eradicate such an evil organization. However, as we all know, the British Empire is currently too busy to look east, so we hope that your country can take on this responsibility. If you agree, then for the sake of world peace and stability, the British Empire is willing to suffer some losses and provide you with some conveniences."

Ernst naturally would not object to what Thomson said. After all, Ernst was also "irreconcilable" with the Russian Labor Party from a personal point of view.

Ernst said, "Of course. Our attitude towards the Labour Party in East Africa is consistent, that is, to resolutely crack down on and suppress it. Your Excellency can rest assured. After all, even the Russian Crown Prince Alexei is in East Africa now."

Thomson was not surprised at all to hear Ernst's words. Since the Labour Party came to power, Nicholas II disappeared and the value of former Russian Crown Prince Alexei had greatly increased. The news that Crown Prince Alexei was in East Africa was no secret to other countries.

Thomson said: "In this case, we hope that your country will intervene in Russia next, support domestic forces in Russia, and drive the Labour Party out of power."

Ernst complained in his heart that the British really overestimated East Africa. Given the current situation of the Russian Labor Party, it was impossible for East Africa to overthrow it on its own. Moreover, Ernst had never been optimistic about the reactionary forces within Russia.

Even if East Africa fully supports these reactionary "insects", it will only be adding fuel to the fire in the final situation of Russia. The interference of external forces can further stimulate the unity within the Labor Party and make them stronger.

Of course, Ernst would never say so verbally. He replied to Thomson with a firm face: "Suppressing the Russian Labor Party is one of the unshirkable responsibilities of all countries in the world, and we in East Africa are no exception."

"In fact, we in East Africa have already made preparations to interfere with the Russian Labor Party. But unfortunately, Russia and East Africa are separated by the Indian Ocean, the Ottoman Empire, Persia and other countries and regions. We in East Africa are out of reach!"

What Ernst said was of course not true. In fact, what East Africa did was exactly the opposite. Currently, East Africa is arranging for the forces and organizations supported by its own country to withdraw from Russia in an orderly manner.

Otherwise, with the strength of the East African National Security Agency, it would cause considerable trouble to the Russian Labor Party, but it would only cause trouble. On the contrary, in Ernst's view, the National Security Agency's presence in Russia would be a big problem for East Africa.

Even if this spy organization has undergone ideological training, it cannot change the powerful penetration ability of the Labor Party’s ideological weapons.

Although Ernst would certainly not let all members of the National Security Service withdraw from Russia, it was impossible for most of them to stay in Russia. In the future, personnel sent to Russia to conduct intelligence and espionage activities would have to be firm "monarchist" fighters who had passed layers of screening.
