The reason why Emperor Hua thought Bismarck was great was that before Bismarck, the wars in Europe seemed to have no clear political purpose or clear political plan. It seemed that everyone was just trying to show their muscles.

The idea of ​​checks and balancers on the European continent and offshore balancers was later found. It was not the British who planned to do that from the beginning. They were just good at making money. Of course, anyone who had muscles could watch and make money. Everyone could do it as a big brother.

France was not as concerned about the colonial issue from the 15th to the 17th centuries as infighting issues, and was more concerned about doing one vote.

France is a powerful enemy that Britain, who is determined to explore the global market, needs to face.

Britain dealt with Spain to rewrite the international order, otherwise the international community would be governed by the dual system of the East and West by Spain and Portugal.

The British dealt with the Netherlands to compete for the market in the New World. In an era when there was a lack of a sound trade negotiation system, force was the best way to negotiate.

Britain dealt with France purely because this country dug a pit here and another pit there, and the colonial cause lacks planning, and Britain's expansion in North America just hits the edge of the French colony. This accident is greater than necessity.

Because France's colonization was not as concerned as Britain, their diplomatic focus was always on the European continent, with the mission of building a European power. Therefore, there is only one possibility for France to take the initiative to fight with Britain, that is, Britain's tentacles reached to the European continent.

But at that time, Britain's military front was still in the New World, and this contradiction would not be formed until the Napoleonic War. Britain was determined to return to the continent, implement the "glorious isolation" policy, and realize the mission of quietly dominating Europe.

Therefore, when Britain and Spain fight, the Netherlands fight, France fight, and the colonial wars for world colonies, many times, everyone just simply displays muscles, or simply acts of robbery.

The British are the best planning and the best governance. Hua Huang is actually learning from the British in many aspects, especially in overseas expansion and management.

Since the 100th anniversary of the war, Britain has given up its policy of dominating the European continent. Later, with the rise of colonial trade, it has gradually become two points: ensuring its own maritime trade interests and ensuring that there is no superpower in Europe.

In the British-Spanish War, the conflict between the National Church and the Catholic Church was just an excuse, and the execution of Mary I was only a fuse of religious issues. The real reason was that Britain's privateer and smuggling operations on the Atlantic Ocean seriously violated Spain's interests.

The Seven Years War was due to the threats that Britain, Austria and Russia had to the siege of Prussia and Hannover. In fact, at the beginning, France did not support North American colonies because France believed that North American colonies could not be preserved, so it was regarded as abandoned children.

The real purpose of the three countries of France, Austria and Russia is Prussia, not North America.

As for the four British-Dutch wars over the years, it is essentially a contradiction between the two countries in terms of navigation regulations and trade distribution.

As two maritime powers, there will inevitably be conflicts in the distribution of interests.

War is a continuation of politics, and Britain's success is largely due to the fact that after the establishment of the parliament, it can fight according to national interests, rather than the traditional European countries that divide camps based on royal blood and religious beliefs.

A hundred years later, the pragmatism of the British Empire began to sprout at this time, and it was also a very important point for Britain to lead the war with interests during this period.

War is nothing more than the continuation of politics through another means. The three wars from the 16th to the 18th century spanned nearly 200 years, from the Elizabethan era to the old Prime Minister Peter. It is impossible to say that Britain had such a huge strategic plan.

Judging from the results, Britain sat on the throne of the Empire of the Sun never set after the Seven Years War. This should be said to be the creation of heroes in the times.

Now at the hands of Disraelli, the entire British country turned to commerce and trade to explore overseas colonies and maintain maritime transportation as its national policy (the attacks on Spain several times during the British-Spanish War were all in a joint-stock partnership. Queen Elizabeth represented the royal family and paid a proportionate amount of money, resulting in several expeditions because the adventurers were busy with robbery and did not complete the task of attacking the remnants of the Invincible Fleet, which shows the commercial atmosphere of Britain).

This is different from the situation in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and even from the first half of the 19th century.

In the 16th century, Spain was the largest maritime power in Europe with its vast colonies and invincible fleets, but its weakness lies in this, and its heavy dependence on American silver. In order to weaken Spain's strength, Britain launched an armed privateer, trying to block the connection between Spain and the New World, and at the same time supported its mortal enemy France and Spain on the European continent. Spain was not outdone. It first supported Queen Mary of Scotland to seize power, and then used the Holy See to launch a jihad against British heresy. The war was already on the verge of arrows.

The origin of the British-Dutch War is inseparable from the British-Spanish War. It was Spain's decline that led to the rapid rise of the Netherlands. After the Netherlands announced its separation from Spanish rule in 1581, it first took advantage of Spain's busy fighting with Britain, and then coincided with the British civil war. With a small country, it rapidly developed into the largest trading center and maritime power of the European continent. Its seaport is in the North Sea, facing the Dover Strait, and is heading towards the throat of the British (the Dutch fleet hit London to take advantage of this convenience). Once Britain gets rid of Cromwell, it will definitely solve this threat immediately.

The Seven Years War was relatively complicated. The core of Britain's entry into the war was the mainland's checks and balances policy. As for Mary who supported Austria or Friedrich II of Prussia, it was completely determined by the balance of power in Europe. At the same time, Britain also cautiously avoided the territorial competition of mainland countries in Europe, and wisely chose to annex the overseas colonies and maritime rights of the defeated countries, firmly safeguarded its core interests, and created an empire that never sets.

Therefore, if the three wars between Britain and France, Spain and the Netherlands must be linked together, it should be a continuation of the policy of mainland checks and balances and focusing on maritime development. Judging from the results, this policy is very correct, rather than a planned and gradual offensive.

"Sir, Emperor Hua's convoy is about to set off. If they are only allowed to bring ten people to guard, I'm afraid..." The chief of the London Police Department reported to Disraelli.

Although the Chief of the London Police Department only said half of the words, the meaning was clear, and I was afraid that there would be any problems with the safety of Emperor Hua.

Although Disraelli hopes that Emperor Hua will die in a bad life, after all, it is on British land. If the government does nothing, it is unreasonable. If he tries his best to protect, Emperor Hua will still be assassinated successfully, and at most he will be teased by British police for uselessness. He can accept this. "Protecting it must be protected. Send more people, and there is no need to mobilize elites."

The head of the London Police Department's eyes rolled. No one was dull when he could go to a high position. "I understand. I'll send out several street police stations."

Although the police in this era are not as clear as those of later generations, the police station already has the work of a mother-in-law who performs basic tasks, and the police station also has military and police who perform tasks. The chief of the London Police Station means to send only some grassroots police officers who pretend to behave.

Seeing that the Chief of the London Police Department understood what he meant, Disraeli smiled and said, "Send more people! Also, no matter what the assassination is, it will be arrested on a large scale."

"If the assassination succeeds, it will happen during the Queen's birthday?" The Chief of the London Police Station asked uneasily, thinking to himself: You are the Prime Minister, no one dares to do anything to you by then, and I will definitely take the blame.

"What will happen? What can happen? Don't be afraid of an accident. No one thinks about this." Disraelle waved his hand and signaled the Chief of the London Police Department to retreat.
