Chapter 845： Declare without fighting (2/2)
The assassination broke out just after the Austrian Minister had left, but it was a bit too coincidental. The problem is that planning this assassination is not good for Austria.
Once the war broke out, Austria simply could not prevent us from occupying the Afghan region. The only value is probably to be able to interrupt the arms race.
From only this aspect of analysis, the French are more suspicious than Austria. After all, the French government has the weakest financial resources and is under the greatest pressure.
Of course, other countries also have considerable suspicions. In order to provoke confrontation between big powers, many countries have motives for underhands.
It is not ruled out that there is no black hand behind the scenes, which is the handwriting of the indigenous religious extremist organization in Afghanistan. After all, Walters has been assassinated in front of him.
We have too little information to lock in the identity of the enemy. The people want the truth, but the investigation simply cannot go on.
Anti-British sentiment is serious in Afghanistan. If someone is sent to investigate in the past, I am afraid that even the safety of the members of the investigation team cannot be guaranteed.
How can the Afghan government investigate and finally give us an answer? ”
Sir George revealed all the possibilities, definitely not to track down the real culprit, but more to let everyone choose the ”real culprit”.
The interests pursued by Britain are paramount. Whoever is the murderer is most beneficial to Britain, then who is behind the scenes.
Colonial Prime Minister Primrose sneered: ”Sir, we have no choice at all?”
The multiple choice question is correct, it is just the multiple choice question whose answer has been published.
It is not just picking an enemy, you can get the approval of the people. A bunch of reporters chased after the government to get the truth. If there were no opposition parties behind it, no one would believe it.
The real weight is convincing, in fact, Russia and France, and there is a weak Afghanistan.
The Royal Navy can not go to the case, if the black pot is buckled on the head of a big country, then it can only be rash, it is impossible to give the domestic people the explanation they want.
For the Gladstone Cabinet, it was all about asking for trouble.
The Secretary of the Navy Sir Astley Cooper Kee warned: ”This is the enemy's conspiracy. They want to provoke the war in Central Asia and destroy our plan to bring down Fau.”
The opposition of the Secretary of the Navy is inevitable. Once the war broke out, the money invested by the government in the arms race was reduced.
The final result is likely to be a compromise with France and Austria to end this arms race.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers: ”It is not terrible to destroy our plan. The trouble is that we want to stop. The two countries may not appreciate it.
If the second Afghan war broke out, France and Austria will not be lonely. They will encourage the Russians to confront us in Central Asia and continue the arms race.
Our pressure is great! ”
Not only is it stressful, but it is obviously exhausted. Both sides are important. If there is a problem with either end, Britain ’s supremacy will be shaken.
Foreign Minister George: ”There is no if, but it will inevitably happen. It is uncertain whether the French will support the expansion of the Russian minister in Central Asia, but Austria will definitely support it.
If possible, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopes to suspend this arms race before the second Afghanistan war. ”
Admiral Astley Cooper Kee hurriedly opposed: ”This is impossible! We can stop, but the two countries will not stop.
If you do not want to see the name change of the world ’s first naval power after the war, do n’t make such a joke. ”
International competition has always been ”taking advantage of your illness and killing you”, but there is no such thing as being merciless.
Do not say that the Austrian Navy surpassed Britain, even if it was just flat, it was enough to shake their maritime dominance.
In the final analysis, there are currently three countries capable of fighting for hegemony at sea, and any two fishermen who will be on the sidelines will be on the sidelines.
Once the Royal Navy has lost its absolute superiority, it will only have a deterrent effect, and it will be impossible to provoke a war that is losing both sides.
In fact, since ten years ago, the Royal Navy ’s deterrent force has been declining. Faced with the overwhelming French and Austrian navies, the British government has no good way.
Seeing the escalation of the quarrel, Prime Minister Gladstone waved his hand to stop: ”Stop, it is not the time for quarrels. The situation seems to be detrimental to us, and it is actually not that bad.
The Afghan region was originally what we wanted to win. This assassination just advances hands-on time and does not affect our established strategy.
As for the issue of the naval arms race, unless Faokun ceases fire together, we will definitely continue to follow up.
Everyone is worried that there is nothing more than a financial problem, but it is not impossible to solve it.
Waging war is to return justice for Britain, and when to do it and to what extent to fight it is up to us.
We can even declare war on the Afghans first, and give an explanation to the people in the country. We will not need to send troops for the time being. We will prepare for the war before launching the offensive. ”
