Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 639 News

  The Secretary of the Seal Evans just returned to his office in Whitehall and sat down, and his subordinates came to report; the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs John Lawrence Bard came to visit.

"This **** fellow caused me to touch my nose in front of the Prime Minister." Lord Evans murmured, his eyes rolled, his face returned to Zhizhu's grip, and the opponent commanded; "Invite him in, and remember to be polite."

   "Yes, my lord."

  In a few minutes

   Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Count John Lawrence Bald walked in with a spring breeze, and stretched out his hand from a distance to say enthusiastically; "Dear Evans, I think you must have good news to tell me."

"That's right, John, go to Downing Street and personally lobby the Prime Minister as simple as buying a cup of coffee on the street. I have got the good news you want. The Imperial Army will do its best to wipe out those Easterners, and the Royal Navy will also I will fully cooperate, um... you can return to Australia in a few months to receive cheers from the crowd."

  Lord Evans’ mockery was so sharp that Earl John Lawrence Bald’s expression suddenly stagnated, and then he managed to squeeze out a smile and said; “Sorry, I’m impatient.”

  I touched a big nail. At this moment, 10,000 sacred beasts flew over the top of John Lawrence Bald's head, tearing the other side's heart.

  Don’t think that Lord Evans is a zealous defender of the interests of white people. He actually took the rich benefits of the Commonwealth of South Australia.

The Commonwealth of South Australia paid for the 5 years of operating and repairing costs for its ancient castle on the outskirts of London, including the cost of hiring butlers, maids, tutors, cooks, gardeners, coachmen, etc., and 15 gardeners alone, plus The huge cost of repairing the castle, the annual expenditure is as high as 4,300 pounds, and the total value of 5 years is more than 20,000 pounds.

  Otherwise, Lord Evans will not be able to fight with the white Australians, so why should he be enthusiastic about South Pacific affairs?

  That is the scope of the management of the Colony Department, and it is not close to the duties of the Secretary of the Seal.

Although the Minister of the Seal is an inconspicuous role in the current cabinet, he is after all a front bench member (cabinet members are seated in the front row of the lower house of parliament.), an out-and-out political officer, whose status and power far exceed John Lawrence- Earl Bald.

In the British administrative system, there are two types: elected government officials and bureaucratic officials. The former governor of New South Wales, where Lord John Lawrence Bard, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, returned to his homeland, They all belong to the category of clerks, and they are characterized by not having to go through popular votes, and climbing up one level at a time in the bureaucratic system. The highest peak is the post of cabinet secretary.

  There are also many administrative officials, from the prefects, chairpersons, independent prosecutors, to the prime minister and members of the cabinet, all of which are administrative officials.

Earl John Lawrence Bald is not even a member of Parliament, and his status is far from that of Lord Evans, so he said with a smile: "I have served in Australia for many years, and I have deep feelings for the landscape and people there. Now that the wild Queensland Earl dared to declare the founding of the country, it is undoubtedly a naked provocation to the majesty of the empire. Thinking of the local white people being affected by the war, they will suffocate their lives. As an upright gentleman, I can’t turn a blind eye to this. Forgive me for my urgency."

"I know John, I also understand your feelings very well, but it will take time and more people of insight to join in." Evans's complexion slowed down, and he motioned to the other party to come down and talk, and then said; "In Downing Street At the Prime Minister’s residence, I have expressed concern to Robert and believe that the situation will develop in a positive direction. There is no doubt about this, but we need patience."

  What Evans said is a bit irresponsible, and his meaning is very clear;

I did what you asked me to do. I don’t have to mention the gift worth more than 20,000 pounds in the future. If you want to help, you have to pay again. It’s better to find more people to lobby together. The effect is better. , Otherwise you can only wait.

  As for how long to wait...hehe, just wait.

  If you want to affect major policy changes in the UK, you won’t be able to splash it without hundreds of thousands of pounds.

  I want to get good news when I spend this small amount of money. Didn’t you wake up in your dream last night?

  As far as Lord Evans knows;

The Earl of Queensland in Australia has a very large hand. In order to win over a large number of influential nobles such as the Victor Duke family, the Norfolk Duke family, and the Edward Nelson Viscount, they paid tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds. It is an annual benefit.

Just a few years ago, His Royal Highness Prince Edward tore his face and grabbed people in the fight for the "Rose of France." Little role.

  This is a sensational gossip scandal. Although the royal family and the government tried to block the news, almost no one in London knew about it. It was tantamount to a tacit secret.

  Considering this factor

  Doing things for the Commonwealth of South Australia has invisibly offended many people, and you must increase the cost, otherwise, why should everyone protect you from mines without relatives and no reason? Is it really uncomfortable?

  As for the fate of the native whites in South Australia, verbal support in private is okay. If you really want to exert influence, you must exchange it for real money. There is no discussion.

  Work for a while

  Earl John-Lawrence-Bald was called out. He went to the door and looked behind, spitting into the ground and said; "Go all to hell, you insatiable assholes."

  After venting, he was really helpless.

  London’s bureaucracy is not only extremely inefficient in decision-making, but also rampant in corruption, and the trend of luxury comparison is serious. It is simply a habit in the womb.

The feudal kingdoms in Europe and the world are as dark as crows, but some are already black to the end, the decayed can no longer decay, and some are slightly better. They belong to the object that can be saved by hard work. The United Kingdom should belong to the latter. Kind of type.

It is useless to complain about tantrums. The representative of the Federation of South Australia in London is waiting for the good news with his eyes open like fish balls. Earl John Lawrence Bald is also so positive after taking a lot of money from others. Otherwise, he will be full to help. Said downstream?

He thought for a while, and felt that he should first squeeze the representatives of the South. If you can squeeze more oil and water, the situation in Australia is not great. If Ocean Kingdom talks in Australia in the future, this big income will be cut off. .

  If you can take advantage of this opportunity, you can make a little more, at least to give hope to the southern white regime.

So Earl John Lawrence Bald conveyed the results of lobbying the upper-level decision makers in London, together with some compelling understandings, to the representatives of the South. In order to show the results of the activities in London, the representatives of the South added more enthusiasm and sent back the words. The beaming transoceanic telegram, the destination is New Zealand.

  It is now during the war. Global Telecommunications, which is wholly-owned by Ocean Kingdom, implemented a strict message blockade. Real-time news in Australia is difficult to obtain from the outside world, and only a few separate channels can transmit messages.

  One is the Royal Navy’s South Pacific Task Force passing a British cruise, and the other is a transit in New Zealand.

  Most of all messages sent and received by the Free Federation of South Australia are sent to the United States through New Zealand, and mail is delivered between the two places by small fast ships. Although it will be delayed for several days, it is better than nothing.

  In the era of information obscuration, the consequences of the Ocean Kingdom’s blockade of transoceanic cable telegraph lines cannot make up for the catastrophe.

  The latest news from Australia occurred at least half a month ago, and the slower one is two or three months ago. It is not uncommon for news to lag half a year.

The tragic war that took place in Australia has little impact on the European and American worlds thousands of miles away. For ordinary people in various European kingdoms, they will never set foot in the remote South Pacific country in their entire lives. They are not concerned at all. I just ignored it.

  At the end of the 19th century

More than 90% of European and American societies are illiterate people who don’t know a single word. They follow the ancient tradition of sunrise and sunset. Horse-drawn carriages drove by on the hard stone road. The bakery owner chased after the wandering stray curses loudly. The boy, because the boy stole a baguette before he was ready.

  Sun rises and sunsets, and history runs on a predetermined trajectory;

  On August 4, 1890, German bacteriologist Koch announced at the Tenth World Medical Congress held in Berlin that he had discovered a new drug for the treatment of tuberculosis-tuberculin. This discovery caused a shock in the medical community, and people hailed Koch as the "killer nemesis."

  In 1890, the American astronomer Pacival Rowell saw an "artificial canal" on the surface of Mars through a telescope.

  In 1890, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, started construction of the Hanyang Iron Factory in order to resist the import of foreign iron.

Also in this year, the British Burwall used oxygen and gas cutting for the first attempt to rob a bank. The gas came from a portable gas canister produced by Fulinmen Gas Cooker Company, and the oxygen was a small medical oxygen bottle, which was obtained by the robbery. It was a great success, but unfortunately he was arrested a few days later.

  In the Manchu and Qing Dynasty, 22-year-old Huo Yuanjia and martial arts master Du Mou showed their brilliance, eager to help others, and the reputation of being a chivalrous hero spread.

In the United States, the big banker Pierpont Morgan, in the name of "Big is Beautiful", united more than 300 funders to form the world's first "1 billion-dollar company" with eight large conglomerates— United States Steel Corporation.

  The Wall Street Journal called the merger “the climax of industrial capitalism,” and Morgan became a pivotal investment banker on Wall Street.

  In 1890, Luxembourg became independent.

   Also in this year, the Free Federation of South Australia was declared established. Soon afterwards, the Northern Ocean Kingdom was declared established. The serious confrontation between the North and the South led to the outbreak of war.

in Germany

  Scientist McKinnon deeply observed the atomic structure of the cell and finally drew a clear three-dimensional structure diagram of the ion channel.

  German professor Mayman proposed the concept of liquid crystal for the first time, and divided the liquid crystal into two categories: crystalline liquid crystal and liquid liquid crystal, which pointed out the direction for modern display scientific research.

  In the same year, German biologist Altmann first observed the existence of a granular structure in the cytoplasm of animals under an optical microscope, called "small bodies of life."

in England

  The world-renowned Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky 12 years old was born. This is a fine-quality Scotch whisky that is carefully brewed from three natural raw materials, grains, water and yeast, and has been blended for at least 12 years.

  Professor Marshall of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom published a monograph on "Principles of Economics", turning economics in the past only focused on the study of production, and turned to the optimal allocation of consumption, demand and resources.

  ……

  The world is like a tide, rushing forward endlessly.
