In early July 1879, before the British Parliament adjourned the summer meeting, the representatives of the House of Commons finally decided to have a general election in the House of Commons, which was scheduled to begin on the first Thursday in April 1880.

The Tories, or rather, should be Prime Minister Disraelli, the leader of the Conservative Party, in order to maintain the Conservative Party's position as a majority party in the House of Commons, at the Conservative Party Congress in early July, the Prime Minister announced that the Conservative Party's recent work focus is to serve the general election in the first half of next year. As Disrael's designated successor and the second person in the party, Robert Cecil's foreign minister's constituency visit is the most important task. After all, Disraelli is over 75 years old and has hidden illnesses.

According to the British Parliamentary Reform in 1867, the current elections in Britain are still large-scale constituencies, rather than small-scale constituencies in Joey's previous life. If a constituency produces only one elected person, it is called an singular constituency, that is, small constituencies. If a constituency produces two or more elected persons, it is a plural constituency, that is, large-scale constituencies. Because it is a large-scale constituency system, the way of representatives is generated is a proportional representative system or a majority representative system.

These two methods are different from the simple majority system adopted by the British small constituency system in his previous life, which means that the Conservative Party’s future leader, Foreign Minister Cecil, must fight the election battle in every major constituency, and cannot strategically give up the opponent’s traditional strong constituency and concentrate on fighting for neutral constituencies like the small constituency system.

Just as the Conservatives were preparing to do a big battle with the Liberals for next year's general election, mainstream London newspapers suddenly burst into explosive news at this tense moment. The newspapers on Fleet Street said with confidence that according to reliable news, Prince Heinrich of the German royal family will represent the Western world and issue a formal apology to the Qing for the harm caused to the Qing Dynasty by the two Opium Wars.

If it weren't for the parliamentary election, Cecil, as the foreign minister, apologized to the Qing Dynasty for the Germans in writing, even if it was written, it would just be a sniff. Only the weak would sympathize with the weak. The lion of the British Empire would never care about the tears of sheep.

As for how Germany performed a drama of loving world peace, as long as it did not touch the interests of the British Empire, Cecil would only regard this as a circus performance by the Germans, and was ready to watch the entire European media and angrily criticized that Germany had no moral integrity, no bottom line, and pleasing foreign policy mental preparations for the Qing Dynasty.

Who made the German circus famous in Europe? Who made the media on Fleet Street swear people never mercilessly? Such a beautiful circus, Prime Minister Disrael and Foreign Minister Cecil want to laugh even if you think about it.

But reality is always cruel and ruthless. Who made Britain implement the multi-party system, who made the Liberal Party the opposition party designated by Her Majesty the Queen, who made Mr. Gladstone a famous moralist, who made the British army in Afghanistan and South Africa, who made the Pashtuns and Zulus beaten up in Afghanistan and South Africa, who made Prime Minister Disrael a Jew, who made Christians massacred by the Turks and refused to save them, and said with a big mouth: It’s no big deal to die a Christian…

When The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph began to comment on the behavior of the Germans, Mr. Gladstone keenly grasped the matter and began to promote just diplomacy in the left-wing newspaper The Guardian, criticizing the injustice of the Conservative Party's colonialism. There was even a rumor that under the leadership of Disraelli, Judah, the Conservative Party was trampling on the traditional spirit and morality of Christianity.

The British Empire is falling under the temptation of Satan, the devil.

Joey, who always pays attention to British public opinion, immediately added fuel to the fire. On the one hand, he not only contributed anonymously to the Times, but also used a conservative and rigid face to death to attack the British middle class's idea of ​​pursuing equality for everyone, but also fought with him in the Guardian, representing the British middle class and vigorously denounced the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the upper aristocracy towards ordinary people. It was a completely unfair attitude of watching the fun.

On the other hand, through the mainstream Prussian newspapers, we vigorously stood up for the British Liberal Democratic Party. With the common point of Prussia and Britain, we believe in Protestantism, and based on the characteristics of Protestant Lutheranism's "justified by faith", we emphasized that as an ideal Protestant country, it is natural to do good in the world, and what the current British government does completely violates the spirit of the Protestant.

If the German newspapers criticize the British government's ability to govern, the Conservative Party can fight back against the Germans in many ways. Disrael and Cecil guarantee that each of them will prevent the Germans from coming to Taiwan. However, Germany cunningly stands on the moral high ground, dresses in the cloak of religion, and uses the Christian spirit to poke the wounds of the Conservative government, which makes the Conservative Party under Disrael and Cecil speechless.

The more ruthless means are still behind, and Joey also expanded the battlefield of this debate to the height of religious belief, especially the Protestant beliefs that are popular between Germany and Britain.

While submitting his article to the UK, Joey also wrote a passionate letter to Mr. Gladstone, talking about the universal spirit of Christianity and the commonalities between Lutherans and the Anglicans, who are both in the Protestant community, in their participation in the world, in doing good.

The views in this letter are extremely in line with the appetite of the moral master Mr. Gladstone. When he learned that the letter was written by his student Crown Prince Frederick's son, Mr. Gladstone praised Joey's views in the subsequent letter to Crown Prince Frederick.

During the routine Q&A time of the Crown Prince Frederick's study, Joey used Mr. Gladstone's letter to convince his father to let the Protestant Lutheran bishop come forward and contact other Protestant sects to stand up for the Christians who died tragically at the hands of the Turks.

The Protestant Lutherans, who was protected by the Hohenzollern family since its birth, naturally could not fall behind in the matter of this British Conservative government that was related to the universal spirit of Christianity and criticized the lives of Christian compatriots. What's more, this matter was encouraged by Crown Prince Frederick.

After venting with the Reformed in Switzerland and the Anglican Church in the United Kingdom, the bishops of the Protestant Lutherans, Reformed (Calvinism) and the Anglican Church issued a statement almost at the same time, protesting that the British Conservative government seeks unjust interests by selling off Christian lives. Now, the Conservative government is not only facing the competitive pressure of the Liberal Party, but also the pressure of the entire Christian world.

Christians massacred by Turkey are Catholics. What reason is there to make Protestants stand up for justice for Catholics? Pope Leo XIII of the Vatican immediately issued a statement and joined the movement to bring down the British Conservative Government.

Taking advantage of the crisis, Joey's careful expansion of this storm made the famous Marquis of Salisbury and Foreign Minister Cecil pessimistically admit that it was only a matter of time before the fall of this Conservative government. As the storm that the Conservative Party could not stop expands, the Conservative Government of Prime Minister Disrael could not hold on to the general election in April next year.

If there is a little pessimistic view and if there is a little bit of news that is unfavorable to the Conservative Party, it is very likely that Prime Minister Disrael will submit his government resignation to Her Majesty the Queen at the end of July.

Prime Minister Disraelli felt for the first time that in religious conflicts, being a Jewish person was born with a disadvantage. The Times, which was always pro-Conservative and German media, showed restraint and did not attack his Jewish identity. However, those pro-Vatican, especially newspapers with Catholic background, pointed their finger at his Jewish origins.

A major discussion about the dignity of Western countries in the Qing Dynasty eventually turned into a criticism of the Conservative government by Christian society, and even a hint of sage.

Disraelli, who can shout out that interests first, naturally has extremely strong nerves to face this chaos and has extremely thick skin to face the spit on his opponents.

But now Prime Minister Disrael's biggest enemy is time. If God and Her Majesty the Fairy Queen can give themselves time, the Prime Minister is willing to bury his head in the sand and stick his butt for his opponents to kick. As long as he survives the first three weeks, the Prime Minister will definitely guarantee that he can use new news hotspots to make the British people forget this storm that makes the Conservative Party painful.

Unfortunately, God is unwilling to give Prime Minister time. The Prime Minister is unconscious more and more times, and the pain caused by hidden diseases is getting heavier and heavier. Now he can only rely on opium to relieve the pain. As the leader of the Protestantism in the British, Her Majesty the Fairy did not dare or did not want to. At this moment when he scolded Jews in the Christian world, he supported his favorite Prime Minister. The only thing he could do was to remain silent and not add to the insult.

Germany, or Joey, would never give the Prime Minister, the founder of the British Empire colonialism, any time to breathe.

While Prime Minister Disraelli and the Conservative government were struggling to support, the latest report from the Qing Customs General Taxation Department has become the last straw that broke the Conservative government.

The latest news from Hurd sent back to London said that the three most powerful governors of the Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Zhili, the Governor of Liangjiang, and the Governor of Huguang, jointly submitted a report to the Qing government, requiring the construction of railways with the Germans in their own jurisdiction, jointly establish factories, and cooperate in the development of mineral resources.

After learning the news, British businessmen who were doing business with the Qing Dynasty were in an uproar. On the one hand, they closely followed the German businessmen, the German government and the German domestic moves, and on the other hand, they urgently demanded that the domestic Conservative government come forward to fight for the British businessmen's interests in the Qing Dynasty.

Sending warships to the Qing Dynasty, like the previous two British-Qing wars, the proposal to teach the Qing Dynasty a lesson was immediately denied. The excuses for the first two wars were to let the Qing Dynasty open up trade, and the other was to rescue its own comrades and retaliate against the barbarity of the Qing government.

But now the Qing Dynasty is willing to give the British the same conditions as the cooperation method with the Germans. The British and Qing dynasties are open to trade, and the British cannot make a spurt. After being beaten up for Western diplomats, journalists, priests, and merchants, the Qing government learned its lessons and refused to do so! The British still cannot make a spurt.

What's even more disgusting is that under the secret mediation of Queen Elizabeth, the Anglican Church's tone was slightly lowered, but two days later, the Anglican Church's tone was higher again, octave higher than the previous voice of Prime Minister Disraelli.

After the Conservative Party's later understanding, we learned that the Qing government agreed to liberalize the missionary activities of German Protestantism in the Qing Dynasty. The Germans generously listed the Reformed and the Anglican Church in the list reported to the Qing government. In other words, the three most important factions of Protestantism can preach willfully in the Qing Dynasty, and the Anglican Church greatly benefited from the Germans.

Disraelli, who has always claimed to be a secular government, was lukewarm about the missionary activities of the Anglican Church, which made Archbishop Archbishop Archibald Campbell Tate very complain. This time, the Germans' actions made the Episcopal very grateful. In contrast, they naturally had the idea of ​​giving the Jews a little color.

The heavy pressure of the election, the heavy pressure of religion, the heavy pressure of public opinion and his poor health made Prime Minister Disrael neglect the demands of merchants in the Qing and British.

Business opportunities never wait for others, and missing them means missing them. When Qingying merchants saw a lot of opportunities, they fell from the sky and hit German merchants, they couldn't help but feel angry.

In the words of the head of Jardines Trading Company, "British gentlemen were sitting in the gatehouse in front of the Liangjiang Governor's Office in Nanjing. When they were struggling to apply for an inexplicable request, the damn German merchants, led by the enthusiastic officials of the Qing Dynasty, entered and exited the Liangjiang Governor's Office at will. It seemed that every Qing Dynasty official was asking for German trade and investment. I have never seen such a ridiculous thing in this year of the Qing Dynasty!"

People are the best at making excuses for themselves, and they always look for others first when encountering things. This is nature. In fact, according to the principle of universal benefits, British merchants can do business that German merchants can do. However, after the Second British and Qing War, British merchants who were used to enjoying happiness were extremely uncomfortable with any loss of privilege.

Seeing the German royal family and the government traveling in the Qing Dynasty for the benefit of German businessmen, British businessmen naturally blamed the fault immediately on the British government not trying to win over the Qing Dynasty and British businessmen, especially spreading their anger to the Conservative government, angering the Conservative government for not doing their best to do their duty for British companies, and demanding that the government also learn the methods of the Germans, and for the benefit of British businessmen, it is best to apologize to the Qing Dynasty.

The Conservatives were so amused that they saw this request. If they apologize, there was no need to guess, there would be people who would scold them. Under the leadership of the Jews who pursue profit, the Conservatives were unconventional and disregarded the glory of the British Empire. And if they apologized, they admitted in disguise that the Liberal Party’s criticism of the Conservatives was correct, which was a black spot that the Conservatives could never erase in their lifetime.

Therefore, the Conservatives can only grit their teeth and hold on without letting go.

"Look at the German nobles, for the interests of civilian businessmen, they can apologize, but our nobles are indifferent!" This argument became the last straw that crushed the Conservative government.

After a painful choice on the hospital bed, Prime Minister Disrael finally decided to focus on the national interests of the British Empire, draw Foreign Minister Cecil from the hot battlefield of election battles, and go on a mission to Berlin as soon as possible, and stand the last post for the Conservative government for the interests of the British Empire in the Qing Dynasty.
