Chapter 682： The biggest misunderstanding of this century (2/2)

However, everyone was not ready to go to war with Austria. Therefore, some things can only be pretended to be confused.

While appeasing the country, Rafael Nunez did not forget to ask the British boss for help.

With such a big thing, John Bull wouldn't be able to justify it if he didn't turn around. In any case, the Colombian government is also in trouble for them.

Downing Street, inside the Prime Minister's residence. As Prime Minister Benjamin smoked smoke, he looked at the Colombian government's call for help.

Opposite was a middle-aged man in a Chinese suit, stirring with coffee in one hand and spoon in the other, and staring forward as if out of the sky, it was the British Foreign Minister Edward.

After half a cup of tea, Prime Minister Benjamin dropped the telegram, extinguished the cigarette **** on the ashtray, and spit out the last light cigarette.

”Sir Edward, what do you think the Austrians are doing, it's impossible to really just vent their breath on Colombia?”

Like Britain, Austria is a country with interests at the core, and every move is based on national interests.

Although the Colombian government's approach has greatly damaged the face of the Vienna government, retaliation is inevitable, but this has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to send troops to fight.

Don't look at the smooth military operations in Panama. The Austrian government released the ”truth” to the public in a timely manner to let everyone know that they are only temporarily staying and will soon leave.

Otherwise, the Colombian government has called on locals to rise up against aggression, and the situation is not so optimistic.

The countries of South America can exist independently. It is not that the European powers cannot occupy them. The main reason is that the cost of governance is too high, and the benefits are not proportional to the pay.

Edward put down the coffee in his hand and slowly responded, ”Of course not. According to the information gathered, it is initially judged that Austria is thinking of Panama.

Only the Vienna government, taking into account its own reputation, felt that the direct invasion of an independent country was too bad and costly, so it deliberately created this ”misunderstanding”.

By killing the Panamanian garrison, the independent organizations they support will be able to succeed. It is estimated that after the withdrawal of Austrian troops, it will not be long for Panama to become independent. ”

With such a big movement, it is impossible to keep it completely secret. Austria's approach may have deceived ordinary people, but it could not conceal the British who are also hooligans.

John Niu has done similar things for a long time, and he has very rich practical experience. Just from the clues on the surface, they can push seven or eight.

Prime Minister Benjamin nodded: ”It looks like we are going to mourn for the Colombians. Until now they don't know what kind of enemy they have encountered, at least this telegram did not show it.”

”Allies” is a false proposition for Britain.

On the bright side, the British Olympics are allies who have signed a covenant, and Colombia has not yet qualified to ally with Britain.

In fact, the British Olympics, as allies, are the biggest competitors. The weak Colombian government is the younger brother of the British, and their closeness is completely reversed.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward shook his head: ”Sometimes ignorance is also a blessing. If the truth is known, Raphael Nunez's life will be lost.

Of course, he may also be confused and pretend to be confused. It is easier to deal with the Panamanian rebels than with the Austrians.

This time the Austrians have committed a foul. With the style of Emperor Franz, who loves feathers, the same ”misunderstanding” cannot occur twice.

As long as the Colombian government can suppress the rebels in Panama, this time will pass.

For the Republic of Colombia, there is still a chance to win without removing this cover; if you turn your face now, you will immediately lose the Panama region. ”

Benjamin smiled slightly, lit a cigarette again, took a deep breath, and exhaled a light smoke.

”You're right, sometimes it really needs to be confused. Since the Colombian government doesn't mention it, we don't know.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should act as soon as possible and send the Austrians away early, so that the Colombian government can feel our sincerity. ”

Part of it needs to serve the whole. The land blockade against Peru and Bolivia has been established, and Chile's victory in the war has almost become a foregone conclusion.

Britain has the absolute upper hand in South American competition, and the influence of France and Austria has been squeezed into a place where it is no longer necessary to continue persecution.

The Panama incident became Austria's final counterattack. The hard cap removed the persecution of Faul, and Britain could not obtain more benefits.

After a little thought, Edward smiled: ”Of course, we never treat friends. But before that, we need to give the Austrians some trouble.

Such a large ”misunderstanding” must be made known to more people. Presumably the media will be happy to get more news and increase newspaper sales. ”

Without direct confrontation, that is because Britain has limited power in the Panama region. Even if it wants to interfere with Austria's next action, it is also insufficient and insufficient.

Being unable to interfere directly does not mean that they will not take action. Offensive public opinion, which also damaged Austria's reputation, was also an offensive method.
