Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 63 Queen Victoria’s Thoughts

Alfonso's remarks truly shocked Harrison. The British government is aware of the huge development potential of the United States.

The huge number of immigrants from Europe has caused their population to increase day by day. The unique natural conditions have further promoted the development of the American economy.

Even if it is split into two, the independent country will still have the ability to develop into a significant power in the world.

Therefore, after Harrison returned to the embassy, ​​he quickly reported to the UK. This was a huge event.

…………

Within the British Empire, the Prime Minister's Office in Downing Street, London.

When the telegram came, the intelligence officer responsible for delivering it just took a brief glance and was already shocked. He immediately ran towards Disraeli's office room.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Harrison, Ambassador to the Kingdom of Spain, has important news."

The intelligence officer hurriedly opened the door and came in, unable to hide the surprise on his face.

"What are you so worried about? Bring it over and show it to me." Disraeli scolded with an unhappy look on his face. The intelligence officer's performance at this time really disappointed him.

The intelligence officer lowered his head and handed the paper over, not daring to look at Disraeli's face.

Disraeli took the information, snorted dissatisfied, and then looked at the contents.

"His Majesty Alfonso is trying to divide the United States, and they seem to have obtained some important intelligence.

They are very sure about this, and at the same time they want to invite us, the British Empire, to participate together.

I hope that Prime Minister Disraeli can go to the Kingdom of Spain in person for talks. "

"Now the Kingdom of Spain has obtained accurate information. And we, the British Empire, can use this opportunity to completely divide the United States.

Even if the split fails, I think it can cause a lot of trouble to the United States."

The telegram sent by Harrison was brief, but it conveyed all the important information.

"Go and inform the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain that we will go to Madrid as soon as possible to discuss this cooperation with His Majesty Alfonso."

After Disraeli finished speaking, he took out the information and went straight to Buckingham Palace, where Queen Victoria lived.

Queen Victoria was still very influential in Britain, and Disraeli, as the queen's favorite, had to go and report.

At this time, nothing major has happened recently in the UK.

The coronation of the Queen of India and the end of the Near East Crisis are two relatively big events in recent times.

However, these all occurred in the Near and Far East. The forces in mainland Europe and North America have not been restrained in any way.

In Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria is drinking black tea. The British Empire is gradually reaching its peak in the hands of this queen.

As the famous royal grandmother in Europe, the name Victoria symbolizes a great era of the British Empire.

"Prime Minister Disraeli asked for a meeting, saying that there were urgent and important matters that needed to be reported to Her Majesty the Queen."

The maid on the side bowed respectfully and greeted her. This devoted queen is loved by all British people.

"Well, let him come in. I will wait for him in the conference room of the palace."

Disraeli's policy of colonial aggression was strongly supported by Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert.

Even privately, the relationship between Disraeli and Queen Victoria was very good.

After a while, Disraeli arrived in the conference room of Buckingham Palace.

Although the Parliament was good, there was no way to ensure the confidentiality of the matter. Only with the support of Queen Victoria could Disraeli be able to show off his skills with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty the Queen, thank you!"

Disraeli respectfully bowed to Queen Victoria. In formal occasions, you have to show a correct attitude.

"Sit down, something big happened that made you come here in such a hurry."

Queen Victoria took a leisurely sip of tea and asked Disraeli to sit down.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from Ambassador Harrison to the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Spain seems to have a way to trigger the American Civil War again.

Therefore, I came here specially this time to discuss this matter with Her Majesty the Queen. "

"Another Civil War in the United States? How is that possible?

After experiencing the last Civil War, Americans will not easily break out of war again. "

Queen Victoria expressed disdain for this.

Because the casualties suffered during the Civil War have caused Americans to lick their wounds for a long time.

"But this is the fact. According to the intelligence passed back by Harrison, the Southern Democrats in the United States seem to be planning to make a comeback.

There have been too many scandals about the corruption of the Republican Party in the northern United States. Countless Americans now have doubts about their governance. "

Disraeli personally handed the information in his hand to Queen Victoria.

"Your Majesty, the Democrats' goal is obvious, to stop the abolition of slavery in the South.

This time they even found Dickens, the American anti-corruption hero, as their political representative. "

The real masters of the United States are still white people.

Although the Republican Party liberated black people, it did nothing to benefit white people and now continues to embezzle white citizens' money.

This makes the American people feel unfair and even suspect that the American Republican Party is putting the cart before the horse.

“White people in the United States will not agree with the Republican government using white people’s money to rescue black people.

Therefore, the Democratic Party has a great chance of winning this time, and if there is secret operation between us and the Kingdom of Spain.

Then it is entirely possible to cause the second American Civil War. "

In this regard, Disraeli said solemnly that if the Civil War started again, it would be an excellent time to divide the United States.

“But, Disraeli, you have to understand that the North of the United States had a complete industrial system, while the South was still under a plantation economy.

In the face of the complete industrial system in the north, the south, which was in the plantation economy, was simply not enough to win. "

At this time, Queen Victoria heard Disraeli's thoughts.

But the United States today is different from what it used to be.

If the British Empire continued to support the South and fight a war of independence, the aid supplies alone would be an astronomical figure.

“Even if a second Civil War did occur, what would our British Empire gain?

However, this will only cause our British Empire to lose countless money in vain. "

How could Queen Victoria not know the benefits of dividing the United States, but the amount of money it would cost was an astronomical figure.

Although the British Empire was rich, it was not rich to that extent.

And the Kingdom of Spain is too small to provide decisive help.

“But Her Majesty the Queen, the cost we spent in provoking the American Civil War in the early stage was definitely not high.

Moreover, after the war breaks out, our British Empire will definitely not lack support. Europe today is not what it was in 1861. "

"As long as the American Civil War breaks out again, the four countries of Britain, France, Russia, and Spain will not miss this opportunity. And with the support of the four countries, the South will not necessarily lose easily."

The rise of North American powers has made countless European countries restless.

Even the French, who have the closest relationship with the Americans, will not give up this opportunity that can greatly weaken the United States.

At this time, the balance of power among European countries has reached a moment that is most consistent with British policy.

Moreover, the British Empire is no longer France's biggest enemy.

If the French don't want to force the British to the German side.

So staying in the same camp as the British is very necessary for the French.

The attitude of the Germans does not matter. As an army country, there is no way to cause harm to the British.

Although Queen Victoria's attitude changed, she still did not relent.

She wouldn't worry about beating the natives, but the other party was the United States after all, and she needed to carefully consider the choice.

“Disraeli, you first try to go with the Kingdom of Spain to instigate a civil war in the United States.

If the situation is favorable to our British Empire, then we should rush to contact European countries and seek their support. "

In response, Queen Victoria finally spoke and confirmed the matter.

The initial cost was nothing to the British Empire, and even if it failed, it would not cause any big losses.

"As you command! Your Majesty the Queen."

Disraeli saluted to express his agreement. Such a big move indeed requires careful discussion before taking action.
