Chapter 609 The matter of dispatching troops, let's talk about other things first
It should be said that after the Pacific Empire made a statement, the war in Europe suddenly changed a lot, and the biggest change was...
Both sides, you don’t move, I don’t move!
Before, everyone fought and rushed, because if they really wanted to say that even if the trench was dug well, it would be difficult to hold on with its current weapon level. In fact, many places have begun to fight in mountainous areas, because this would make the cannons much less powerful.
There are many mountains in France, mainly in the south.
But now, no one is fighting anymore, and it feels like a temporary ceasefire, so this matter...
It's very simple, everyone is waiting and watching!
It depends on when your Pacific Empire will come to the European battlefield, and it depends on when you fight. It’s that simple, because this battle is what you have to consider the next step, such as the Dunkirk landing in the previous Dunkirk landing. If the German army attacks hard now, what should we do if we have another similar landing?
So, this has a particularly interesting situation, and everyone has temporarily ceased the fire.
"Mr. Liszt, now I really want to know the sincerity of your country! The sincerity of sending troops!"
After the emperor of the Pacific Empire expressed his attitude, it was a few months later, but the Allies were waiting for it, but there was no movement there!
That's right, we just shouted, we sent troops and declared war, but when we really needed it, there was nothing, this... the potion in the photo studio, where are we soaking people?
OK. Salisbury must have no idea about this sentence. But he was in a hurry. Wouldn't that have ended the war one day earlier?
"Your Excellency Salisbury, don't worry. You should know that sending troops can be solved by just talking, right? You also understand that this war is not easy to deal with. Moreover, our great Emperor is also a headache now. You should know. The situation in our country is that the Emperor is going to send troops and his attitude is firm, but many people oppose it, especially those guys of the same root and species as you." Liszt explained slowly.
Yes, he is not in a hurry anyway.
But although Liszt has been a liar for a long time and fooled many people, what he said this time is the truth. There are indeed many people pulling their backs. They are really those early immigrants, that is, white people. As for other races, everyone supports Li Mengyang more.
"Then, that..." Salisbury's speech is not as good as before. He is really old and full of illness. "We, we..."
In fact, Salisbury really wants to ask when your Pacific Empire will send troops? It’s okay to give us some news, but he knows that he can’t ask.
It's like two families, one is asking for help from another family, and they want to urge them to hurry up. Can those who help are happy?
What ordinary people know, let alone the two countries, so it is really hard to say, but Salisbury wants to know this time, which is very important, at least it can give the Allies confidence.
But that's it...
"His Excellency Salisbury is still very difficult for the time being, so I'm really sorry. But we can talk about other issues," said the guy Liszt with a smile.
"Any other question?" Salisbury was a little confused.
"Yes, the previous naval battle between our two countries in the waters near South Africa was a misunderstanding. Our Pacific Empire has agreed to pay the money, but the details of this compensation are... "
When this matter was mentioned, Salisbury naturally knew that this matter was not small, at least it caused a lot of discussion, because it was the failure of the British Empire at sea, which was simply too shameful.
But later the emperor made a statement that he wanted to support the Allies, that is, to support our British Empire. This support is much stronger than the shame of naval warfare, so of course he chose to support it.
As for the naval war, as a mature politician, this matter is indeed embarrassing and will indeed cause many people to scold, but in fact it is nothing, because it has received more important benefits. Therefore, as far as Salisbury is concerned, the so-called "post-war compensation" negotiation is simply not worth mentioning.
But now people seem to be more interested, so...
"Mr. Liszt, is it because your Pacific Empire wants to cut the price?" Yes, this is a normal reaction. With the greedy look of that emperor, he definitely doesn't want to pay extra compensation.
But this is how Liszt answered.
"My priest, please rest assured that our Pacific Empire will not be perfunctory! The sailors and generals who were injured in that wrong war will definitely give enough compensation, and several warships are also trivial. What we hope is to give more compensation, really, more."
"Give more?" Salisbury laughed directly, feeling that he had heard it wrong.
Liszt also laughed and said, "But since we are giving more compensation, should we also get more things? For example, I know that the British Empire had many island colonies in the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea, and this matter..."
"What?!" Salisbury was furious when he heard this!
It is obvious that this Pacific Empire is trying every means to seek the colony of our British Empire!
But, this is the matter...
The colonies that Liszt mentioned are actually some small islands, but don’t underestimate these small islands. If these small islands are connected together, then this is equivalent to a blockade circle!
After coming out of the Panama Canal and entering the Caribbean Sea, it is equivalent to diving into these British blockade circles. If there is any abnormal movement in the Pacific Empire, then Britain will naturally know it, or know it in advance.
So, there are some colonies like these small islands, such as Jamaica, which are really some good islands.
The key is that the geographical location is very good, and it can be used as a merchant ship in normal times. Some docking and supply of warships are still good anyway. The most important thing is that it does not require any cost. The indigenous people in those places are black people who look like primitive people. These black people are black people from the Americas, and in many aspects, they are worse than black people in Africa.
These islands are very scattered and are there scattered places. You say they are useless, nor is it. For example, Jamaica also produces a lot of things, which are quite valuable.
So, I really don’t want to throw it away, nor can I throw it away, but now...
"What method do you want to use to seize the robbery?" Salisbury was really angry. South Africa used to be in the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean, which is simply...
Insatiable!
Insatiable!
Salisbury really hates that emperor!
"Your Excellency, it's wrong for you to say this!" Liszt suddenly turned up his face and said as if he was criticizing: "The people in those places have a very difficult life! Who caused this? Some of the British Empire's methods are probably not very glorious, right?"
"You!" Salisbury shivered in anger.
"And our Pacific Empire..." Liszt continued to speak on his own, "It is important to equality of all beings and the common progress of all ethnic groups! And seeing that those people not far away from us live such primitive days, how can we continue to see? Your Excellency! I can tell you very clearly that our Pacific Empire will definitely fully support the human rights movement in these colonies!"
human rights?
As soon as he heard these two words, Salisbury's head grew bigger.
Anyone can imagine that these bastards from the Pacific Empire want to do something about South Africa again, and these bastards are obviously robbing them!
Yes, it must be like this. They didn't come to invade anything, they just let these colonies carry out some free and independent movements, and that's fine. This is exactly the same as South Africa's things, and there is no change.
But Salisbury is helpless!
What can he do?
What's going on now?
The European war was a mess, and I was waiting for the Pacific Empire to come in and end the war.
The loss of South Africa before was considered to be the attitude of these guys. Now... it is obvious that these small island colonies are used to exchange for their troops!
No wonder these bastards declared war, but there was no news. All domestic opposition was bullshit!
Salisbury immediately figured out the festival, but what could he do?
If they don't agree, then they can just build those islands like South Africa, and the British Empire will become a place of evil.
So agree?
Salisbury is like selling the country!
So...
Salisbury also understood, so he used this naval war compensation as an excuse to cover the cover, so this matter would be easy to say.
Damn it! The trap was designed for us early in the morning!
"Then how much money are you in the Pacific Empire to compensate our British Empire for the losses!" Salisbury started bargaining again.
You know, what he said is very high, because it is a pun. The direct meaning can be understood as the loss of the naval battle, but it can also be imagined as the loss of the colony.
"Well, let's have a good talk. How about £20 million?" Liszt said with a smile.
"..." Salisbury was so angry!
Are you sending beggars?
It should be said that after this bargaining, the result was not bad, that is, the Pacific Empire compensated the British Empire 80 million pounds!
But, this money...
By the way, you don’t have to ship any real money, it’s just a part of what William Cameron earns… (To be continued.)
