Chapter 504: They are all paper tigers (middle)

Queen Victoria rests inside Buckingham Palace in London, England. And time is not forgiving, Queen Victoria is already an eighty-year-old old man. In this era where the average life expectancy is less than fifty years old, it is already considered a very long life. The reign of Queen Victoria, also known as the Victorian era, was the fastest time for the expansion of the British Empire. The era of Queen Victoria was also the last rebound of the British monarchy. In the Victorian era, the royal power was restored to a certain extent, and the power of Queen Victoria of England was even able to force out the prime minister. And as a queen who led Britain to such prosperity and power, his prestige is still very huge. When the Marquis of Salisbury was in trouble, he also asked for Victoria's support.

"Are you saying that China has a special existence like Taiwan, so we are bound by the British Empire? And are there still many people who dream of conquering China?" Queen Victoria asked.

The Marquess of Salisbury immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there are countless people who are still focusing on sixty years ago. Sixty years ago, our British Empire easily forced the Manchu Qing court to sign many unequal treaties. And this made many people think that China is a real weak country, that we sent tens of thousands of troops to completely destroy them, and then put the title of emperor of China on the head of the queen like India."

"Confused!" said Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria went on to say: "Just fifty-nine years ago, I was the one who strongly advocated war against China. We called that war a trade war, and the Chinese called it an opium war. But who knows, five Nineteen years ago, the reason why we dared to go to war with China was not to destroy China. At that time, I just hoped to protect the interests of our businessmen. To force China to compromise and open up business with us. Our purpose back then was to trade and protect businessmen We are not trying to conquer China. Later we discovered that China's central government is too weak and incompetent, and their vision is too small. They cannot see the general trend of the world. This is what gave us a step forward They really don’t know how much risk I took to make up my mind to go to war with China. If I could, I really didn’t want to go to war with China. But when China and Our trade deficit is so big that we can't bear it, so we hope to force them to open their markets through war, and then we can earn back. If we want to take advantage of China, that's okay. But if we really want Go swallow China in one bite. Then our British Empire will fall from now on!"

The Marquess of Salisbury immediately said: "Yes! Your Majesty, I think so too. But too many people force us to go to war against China, and my pressure is very great. The weakness of China is their central government, and they The reason for the central government is actually that they are ethnic minorities, and they put everything first in the interests of their own nation or even their own royal family. This is the reason for their weakness. I have checked the history of China at that time, and their central government actually did not The same is the invaders, but they have integrated into China. And they were too lucky to get the country back then, so they didn't feel so sad when they ceded it. Therefore, China's weak is the government and the corrupt landlord. Not the people .If the willpower of all citizens is really concentrated, then we can't beat them at all."

"We have been adopting the method of gradually encroaching, so this is the best way to encroach on China. And now there is a Taiwan that does not know where it came from. This makes us feel incredible. Once Taiwan is allowed to rule the mainland, then Our previous hard work will be in vain. At that time, we may all face the revenge of a huge empire. At that time, our British Empire will be under great pressure. Mainland China is not like our UK. They have a huge land, and China’s Population. What is even more frightening is that these populations are the main ethnic groups, and their ideological cohesion is very strong, which is no less than our hundreds of millions of people. But our main ethnic groups are only tens of millions. Their land, They have all the resources, and the only thing they lack is an excellent leader Dong Liang. But Wang Guorui in Taiwan is such a qualified leader, so the predicament facing our British Empire is very huge."

"We plan to go to war with Taiwan in about two years. At that time, we were confident to defeat Taiwan and kill the hope of China's rise. Then we cannibalize China step by step, so that we can live a better life and avoid the fall of a powerful country. compete."

Queen Victoria thought for a while, and then said: "I can help you once. This is probably the last time. My health is getting worse. I'm afraid I don't have two years to live, so I hope you can do things well instead of Let the efforts of our predecessors in the British Empire be in vain. These are the situations I have won, and you younger generations should not discard them!"

"Your Majesty, you will surely live a long life," said the Marquess of Salisbury.

The Marquis of Salisbury breathed a sigh of relief, because as long as the Queen is willing to help him, his political career can be considered a perfect ending. The Marquess of Salisbury knew that his tenure would not be very long, and he might have to retire soon. The Marquess of Salisbury just hopes to solve the Taiwan issue before he retires. He expects to retire three years later, about two years later, and then he must launch a war against China within two years, preferably two years later. Two years later, he is confident in persuading all countries to go to war against Taiwan, so the possibility of winning is very great. If only the United Kingdom participated, the risk would be multiplied many times. And if all countries are invited to participate together, it is tantamount to sharing the risk together.

Queen Victoria left Buckingham Palace, then came to the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Downing Street, and then came to the crowd outside the Prime Minister's Office under the protection of the Queen's bodyguard. Everyone saw the Queen coming here, and they all took the initiative to give way.

"Dear British citizens, I have heard about the news that everyone proposed to go to war with China this time. Everyone thinks that we should go to war with China, but I don't think so. Our British Empire is a gentleman, a gentleman who pays attention to civilization , we cannot easily fight against foreign countries. Since our British Empire is the leader of the world, we must set an example for the world."

"China is a poor and backward country. The people there have not received any good education, so their behavior is inevitably a little impulsive. And our international exchanges are very complicated. We can't disagree with each other, so we say us…"

Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom began to give a speech, and then he portrayed Britain as a civilized gentleman in the speech, and believed that Britain leads the world and sets an example for the world. However, his evaluation of China is also low to the bottom. For example, China is a country composed of barbarians. They use force to solve problems at every turn, which is not a gentleman's behavior. And Queen Victoria's analogy is like a dog biting a man, can't everyone also bite the dog?

Of course, Queen Victoria of England meant the same thing, but of course he couldn't say such vulgar words. She spared a large circle, and then indirectly pointed out this point, telling everyone that they should use their benevolence and righteousness to move the barbarians. We should use our own civilization to impress these "barbarians" in China, and breaking out of war is not good, and breaking out of war is an act of injustice. The British are gentlemen and civilized people. They cannot go to war casually, and they should use their noble sentiments to influence these "barbarians" in China.

And these words made many pretentious "gentlemen" nod silently, because they thought the Queen's words were right, and they reached the hearts of these people. In their eyes, China and Europe are also a group of savages. Although they bit themselves~lightnovelpub.net~, it is like a dog biting a man. People can't bite a dog, can they? And Queen Victoria's words made many people feel tempted by this, so everyone's temper has relaxed a lot, and they are no longer shouting and killing.

"So, we should use other methods to negotiate with the Chinese, and then use our gentleman's means to make them feel ashamed and let them feel the grace of our British Empire. Therefore, it is not suitable for us to fight against them at present, after all, we all Civilized people!" Victoria said.

"Long live the queen!" "Long live the queen!" "Long live the queen!"…

Everyone started to cheer, so they all began to choose to agree with the queen's proposal and not to go to war against China. And this situation made the Marquess of Salisbury and Queen Victoria of England feel relieved, because if they rashly start a war with Taiwan, the British will not have much confidence in winning, even less than 50%. And this 50% probability is really too low. Wars are not gambling, especially foreign wars, which cannot be used casually for gambling, so there is no more than 80% chance of winning, and no country will easily expand to foreign countries. Only this idiot in Japan took the fortune of the country as a gamble time and time again, and finally lost his pants.

When the news that Britain would not go to war with China spread to China, Wang Guorui only commented: "They are all a bunch of paper tigers." (To be continued)
