The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 303: Behind the scenes

"The reaction of the Germans was very flat. They just issued some protests in the newspapers, and there was no change in the military power in Namibia. I really don't understand. What is His Royal Highness Carlos I worried about?" French Speaker Charles Dupuy asked a little puzzled. \u003c/p\u003e"This is not normal. Even in the more moderate era of Frederick III, the Germans resolutely fought back against any country that dared to offend them! The Battle of Toshima is an example. Caught off guard, the German fleet easily defeated the Japanese and destroyed two warships."\u003c/p\u003e"And now, William II, known as the German Peacock, has come to power, his foreign policy is more radical, and the speed of naval expansion has also increased significantly. They shouldn't tolerate this kind of thing!" said the Portuguese special envoy Frank with some worry. \u003c/p\u003e"No, you don't understand Germany. Our goal this time is the Kingdom of Bavaria, not Germany! Don't confuse the two concepts. The former is just a state within Germany, with an area of ​​only 80,000 square kilometers What power can a vassal state have?"\u003c/p\u003e"Maybe the German government will be annoyed by this matter, but it will definitely not take drastic actions. The German central government, or the Prussian government will not Your little brother started a war thousands of miles away, and if you don't fight, then what are you afraid of?" Speaker Charles said after lighting a cigar from Havana leisurely. \u003c/p\u003eIf Prince Ruprecht knew about the conversation between the two sides, his jaw would drop in shock! He didn't expect that the reason behind the Yarrow incident was that the French wanted to deal with him! Well, maybe dealing with Bavaria is just one aspect of it. And what was even more unexpected was that when he was about to clean up Portugal, Portugal pulled his boss to come to him on his own initiative! \u003c/p\u003eIsn't it necessary for the French to go with a kingdom? It is completely unnecessary in history. It can be said that there is almost no intersection except that the Bavarians and the French fought twice on the battlefield, but this plane is different because of the relationship between Prince Ruprecht , Bavaria has successfully snatched more than 10 million pounds of business from the French! Ten million pounds! What kind of concept is this? Approximately equal to 200 million marks and 250 million francs! \u003c/p\u003e"The francs we lent to Moscow eventually flowed into the pockets of the Bavarians. The development of Bavaria depends entirely on our francs! This is absolutely not allowed!" Speaker Charles recalled several A few months ago, the French foreign minister made a heart-wrenching statement when confronted with himself. \u003c/p\u003eFrance regards Russia's finances as its own private land, and the French will not allow any country or individual who tries to get a share of it! If the Russians ordered two Munich-class armored cruisers from Germany that had touched the bottom line of the French, then the subsequent breach of contract was the first counterattack by the French. The French won a temporary victory, but then a series of Things made this French counterattack a laughing stock! \u003c/p\u003eThe Russian fleet was easily defeated by the Japanese fleet equipped with German warships in the Philippines, and the direct consequence of this incident was that Russia once again found Bavaria and asked to order at least 3 ships that could suppress the existence of Izumo. Orders of millions of pounds! The money that originally came from France and should eventually be used to buy French weapons flowed into the pockets of the prince. It's no wonder the French can bear it! \u003c/p\u003eFor a big country, especially a big country with a high self-esteem, what should you do if you encounter setbacks? Naturally, they are looking for opportunities to get back the scene! Since the Russians decided to purchase German warships again and named the first ship Rurik 2, the French, who were gnashing their teeth with hatred, never wanted to take revenge on their opponents.

\u003c/p\u003eIt is a pity that this time, the Russians will not listen to the French even if they are killed. On the other hand, the French's financial weapons are no longer so deadly! Because the Americans took advantage of this US-Russia cooperation to successfully enter the Russian financial market, besides the French, the Russians found another benefactor! \u003c/p\u003eAs a result, the French immediately found it difficult to take revenge on this "thief who plundered the wealth of France"! However, the French would never give in so easily. They set their sights on the whole world and searched for all clues related to the Kingdom of Bavaria. \u003c/p\u003eBavaria has a good relationship with the Russians, but the French can't help it. Bavaria is very close to the Americans. The latter is also competing with France for the Russian financial market. Well, it has taken measures against the United States, but it has little impact on Bavaria and there is no way. \u003c/p\u003eIn the end, in an obscure corner of the world, the French suddenly discovered that the most profitable business in the German colony-diamond mining was contracted by the Kingdom of Bavaria! Of course, the French government has no idea about this place located in the German colony. However, there are still some troubles in other aspects. \u003c/p\u003eFor example, manpower, Namibia is short of manpower, and the prince’s diamond mine is even more short of manpower. A lot of manpower is imported from South Africa and Angola. Continue to allow human resources to enter Namibia, so now the diamond mines in Bavaria can only rely on Angola's manpower. This is a very good entry point! \u003c/p\u003eAnd Portugal is also a good partner, why? Because this buddy is too weak! The French government just frightened Portugal to obediently cooperate with its own actions. Of course, the Portuguese also had a lot of opinions on the "illegal labor importation" carried out by the prince. Hidden bosses! \u003c/p\u003eAnd one of the fundamental reasons for Portugal's surrender is that a gentleman is innocent and drunk. A small country that is not a third-rate country has a colony of more than 2 million square kilometers. In this world where great powers are rampant, Portugal has lived It is also frightening. As early as 1891, the British used naval guns to force Portugal to reduce its garrisons in Angola and Mozambique (this is a historical fact). \u003c/p\u003eAnd now, when France, a world-class power, says, do as I say, and I will cover you with African affairs, let’s not talk about how much France can fulfill in the end, but at least this statement is enough to make Portugal People are going to offend Bavaria, and in the eyes of Portugal, Bavaria is nothing more than a state! \u003c/p\u003eThanks to book friends bighill1982, Sea Youbian's\u003c/a\u003e~~~, and book friends who were cats in their previous lives, classmates who are in love, book friends 160210, slowly traveling k, saly2005\u003c/a\u003e Support~~~!
