Chapter 258: ,Split


In the days that followed, even the steps in front of the house of former Prime Minister Peter Pete, who had theoretically been idle at home, were about to be leveled by various lobbyists. These lobbyists have hopes to continue to maintain peace, such as representatives of the textile industry, part of the banking industry, and part of the machinery manufacturing industry. There are also some who hope to start the war as soon as possible, such as some agricultural enterprises, some alcohol enterprises, and a large number of spokesmen for military enterprises.
The same goes for other politicians. Every member, whether it is a member of the Noble House or a member of the House of Commons, is full of carriages parked at their door.
Every lobbyist used "the interests of the country and the people" as an excuse to ask these parliamentarians to take actions of one kind or another. At the same time, they also expressed intentionally or unconsciously that they would not forget the profound friendship between them , Will definitely be able to afford friends.
Little Pete discovered that only a little more than half a year had passed, but the political situation in Britain had undergone tremendous changes.
In the previous years, thanks to the efforts of Little Pete, the originally loose Tory party has become increasingly united and increasingly able to act as a whole in Parliament. And his old opponent Fox, although he has a sharp mouth, every time he asks the Tory people, including Peter Pete, in Parliament, he has to resort to questions such as "Some things we think we know, We are indeed clear, some things are clear to us, and we also think we are clear, some things... you know it," and so on. However, relying on unity, the Tory Party continued to defeat the Whig Party on major issues, and even successfully provoked several infights and divisions in the Whig Party.
When facing Fox, Little Pete could say: "I have never won in parliamentary debates; but in parliamentary votes, I have never lost."
Nowadays, the era of moving members of parliament with moving speeches and changing the results of voting in one fell swoop has passed. In the case of large logarithms, the result of the vote is decided long before the vote. Even if someone turns into a reversal during the voting process, the reason for his reversal has never been an exciting speech. If any politician does not understand this and still misses the good old days, then he can only endure failure again and again.
But today, Little Pete discovered that people who are behind the times seem to have become themselves. He noticed that in just over half a year, a deep rift had appeared in the Tory party that had been united.
Some parliamentarians firmly opposed the renewed war with France because they, or their families, or their "friends" invested in textiles or other industries that benefited a lot from trade with Europe. They even feel that it is not unacceptable to give them some "autonomy" as long as Ireland remains in the United Kingdom in name. Some people simply believe that the United Kingdom’s policy towards Ireland for so many years is fundamentally wrong. The United Kingdom is indeed very unfair to Ireland. It applies its treatment of barbarians to Irish people who are also civilized. This It is an intolerable mistake.
The other part of the parliamentarians, because of their own, or their own family, or their friends, invested in arms and other industries, and firmly demanded that the war with France be reopened. They even felt that those parliamentarians who opposed the war were traitors to England and should be dragged out to shoot for ten minutes.
Little Pete knew that if he had to vote on this matter now, it was almost certain that the entire Tory party would split in an instant, and the Whig guys would laugh out loud.
In fact, right now, the Whig guys, especially Fox, are already enjoying themselves.
After this incident, several hard-line Tory MPs who had never visited before have expressed their kindness to him through some channels, and said that if the Parliament wants to vote on the peace issue, they hope Fox’s The Whig Party can stand on the side of peace. Of course, in return, they will also support some of the ideas of the Whig Party. For example, they are willing to give some support to the Whig Party on some issues in Ireland and even on some issues of religious policy.
In the past, Fox had only seen the Whig party produce two or five sons, and it was a group of two or five sons. In many cases, when we count the votes the night before voting, it seems that we still have a certain advantage. When we vote at noon the next day, we find that the number of votes is less than half of others. When have you ever seen a Tory party and will be a traitor?
"I thought that only a civilian-dominated party like our Whig Party would be a traitor. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the aristocratic nobles of your Tory Party would become twenty-five! "
However, although Fox is full of contempt for these profiteering nobles in his heart, the experience of fighting (being beaten by Little Pete) in politics for so many years has made him deeply realize that he has used himself more than his enemies. The importance of doing less.
Therefore, even though he was full of contempt for these traitors, Fox was still very kind and warmly received the messengers of these two and five boys and expressed their willingness to cooperate.
So Pete first discovered that the "English News League" had begun to split. The first thing that jumped back was the "England Economic Observer" in the "England Press League" against the "London Businessmen".
In the "England Economic Watch" on April 1st, a report was published: "The fair treatment of Irish talents is the key to long-term stability in Ireland".
In this report, the "England Economic Observer" first reviewed how Britain lost the history of North America, and pointed out that it was precisely because of Britain's excessive expropriation in the North American colonies that led to the independence of the North American colonies.
Then it used detailed figures to compare with North America, and came to the conclusion: "Our government is even more searching for the Irish than for the North American colonies."
This article then raised a series of questions on this basis:
Does the United Kingdom government really consider Ireland part of the United Kingdom? Or is it just a colony? The United Kingdom government really treats Ireland as a colony. Does he consider a citizen of this country? Or does he consider the same white-skinned Irish as a black African?"
This shot completely exceeded the expectations of the "England Press League". "The Times Review" did not organize a rebuttal to the report of the "England Economic Observer" three days later. Then the "English Free Press Union" immediately joined in, and several newspapers scolded each other.
"The Times Review" accused the "England Economic Watch" of betraying the motherland. "England Economic Observer" criticized "The Times Review" as "the running dog of tyranny" and "the mouthpiece of warmongers."
Then the "Free England" of the "Free Press Union of England" stated: "Although our views on many issues are not quite consistent with the "England Economic Observer", we believe that the "England Economic Observer" is still a company. A good media with a stance, an attitude, and a conscience. As for the appalling accusation of "treason to the motherland" in The Times Review, it reminds us of Samuel Johnson’s famous saying:
Patriotism is the last of the rascals. A hiding place.'
As for "The fair treatment of Irish talents is the key to long-term stability in Ireland", of course, it is a good article, a good article full of real, and even higher humanitarianism and higher patriotism. We fully agree with this article; for those ‘patriotic thieves’ who are trying to provoke a civil war, trying to kill us and our Irish compatriots, we are all full of contempt, and their conspiracy is impossible to succeed..."
Faced with such a situation, both Pete and Addington realized that Ireland could not be blocked immediately at this time. First of all, the timing is not fully ripe; the Irish mass production campaign has achieved good results, and they should have enough potatoes in their hands for a while. Starting the blockade now will give them and the French more time to respond. Moreover, the Navy’s mine experiment has just been completed, and it will take a long time for the output to be increased enough to block the Irish coast. Second, such behavior is likely to be directly within the United Kingdom, and more importantly, it will cause division within the Tory Party.
On the other hand, after so much tossing, the so-called "secrets" of the British navy have already made the whole of Europe, no one is unaware.
After Napoleon got the news, he immediately called Joseph and asked him how to deal with it.
"Mine mines. The British are good. They actually made such things. Well, you ask me how to mine mines? Well, this is not technically impossible~EbookFREE.me~ It's just troublesome, just like removing mines. , It’s dangerous and troublesome, much more troublesome than burying landmines."
"You know this too? Until today, Verdun hasn't been cleaned up." Napoleon cursed, "Why did you bury so much?"
"This is still the result of us being able to drain slowly under peaceful conditions." Joseph said, "Draining mines is more troublesome than this, and in that area, we won't have the right to dominate the sea, so that we can be quiet and slowly and leisurely. Mine clearance. So don’t think about mine clearance."
"What about then?" Napoleon asked.
"Napoleon, who do you think is more afraid of mines than us or the British?" Joseph asked.
"Of course it's a British... How come Joseph, can we make this thing?" Napoleon asked.
"As long as there is a grant, in one month, I can make one." Joseph replied, "Of course, if it is only used to scare the British, I can make a model that can scare them to death tomorrow."
