Chapter 1112: The murder caused by a cow

At the same time the British government received the news, the Vienna government also received an urgent call from Africa-the conflict between Britain, Austria and South Africa broke out.
According to the telegram, the cause of the incident was that one end of the house of Viscount Aguirre, the lord of South Africa, was grazing in the border area and was killed by the British farmer Jorge on the opposite side.
The claim negotiation failed, and the angry Viscount Aguirre directly led people to ransack the other party's farm and killed some unlucky ones by the way.
Not surprisingly, similar bridge sections have long been common in colonies where the weak and the strong.
The colonists these days are desperadoes, and it's the basic operation to start doing things if they don't agree. The fiefs of the Shenluo are also violent. They are all killed on the battlefield. Who counsels who is the grandson.
Especially when the two parties have disputes over interests, it is even more intolerable. Since they can't agree, then follow the colonial rules-armed forces.
This is nothing at first. Killing someone in a colonial conflict has long been commonplace in the colonies.
It was just that Viscount Aguirre had bad luck. During the retreat, he had an encounter with the British army who had heard the news, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides.
With a wealth of combat experience, Aguirre succeeded in breaking a blood path, but his identity was still exposed.
Everyone has always done this kind of thing secretly, as long as no evidence is caught, no one will uncover the lid.
Now it's different. The British have confirmed the identity of Viscount Aguirre, which is intolerable.
It is naturally impossible to hand over to others. Shinra is the overlord of Africa, so naturally he would not care about British protests.
I don't know if it was explosives or what happened. After the communication was fruitless, the British army chose to send troops to attack the territory of Viscount Aguirre on a sunny day.
According to the British, this is arresting the murderer. Obviously, this kind of argument will naturally not be bought by Shinra.
Viscount Aguirre was not alone. After the territory was attacked by the British army, the surrounding nobles immediately mobilized and sent troops to rescue.
After defeating the incoming British army, the consciously humiliated Viscount Aguirre discussed with the noble lord who came to aid and decided to ask the British for an explanation.
Then, everyone started calling friends. After half a month, a coalition with more than 10,000 troops gathered together and smashed towards the Cape of Good Hope.
At this point, the incident has gone far beyond the boundaries of "armed conflict." The term war is obviously more appropriate.
The private armies of the aristocracy of Shinra and the British colonial government started. Everyone knew that the matter was big, and both sides couldn't hide it, and they could only let the country come forward to solve it.
It was reported only if it could not be covered. Naturally, it was not that the South African Governor's Mansion was so slow to respond, nor was it deliberately covered up, it was mainly caused by the characteristics of the times.
With the advent of the colonial era, colonial conflicts have become commonplace. Take the Holy Roman Empire as an example. On average, there are more than three-digit disputes with neighbors every year.
It's as small as a quarrel, and it's as big as a fight.
In this context, if every conflict requires the central government to intervene, it is estimated that the Vienna government will not do anything, and it will be busy with the aftermath every day.
In order to improve administrative efficiency, Franz can only redefine colonial conflicts based on actual conditions.
Anything that has not been fought is ignored directly, and the local government will take care of it, without reporting.
There have been armed conflicts, but the number of participants is less than one thousand, and the number of casualties is less than one hundred, just report the results directly.
Anything that requires the Vienna government to intervene in person must be a large-scale conflict. The local government is really uncertain and the central government will intervene.
It is precisely because of these restrictions that conflict incidents have been delayed until now before they are reported.
...
Prime Minister Chandler: "The above is the general story. From the overall analysis of the incident, Viscount Aguirre's excessive performance was the main reason for the outbreak of this conflict.
However, this is also due to the fact that Viscount Aguirre is only trying to protect the sacred and inviolable private property. Although the method is a bit excessive, it is understandable to deal with robbers.
If it weren't for the British army's unauthorized cross-border invasion and intensified contradictions, there would be no subsequent large-scale military conflicts.
The government believes that the British need to bear the main responsibility for this conflict. The counterattack of the aristocratic coalition forces is only to safeguard national sovereignty and security. "
It can be seen that Chandler is evasive, pushing four, five or six. But politics has always looked at the pros and cons, regardless of black and white.
Don't say that the aristocratic coalition has just sent troops to retaliate. Even if the Cape of Good Hope has been won, the Vienna government will throw the pot to the British.
The responsibilities for the war are all British, and Shinra naturally does not need to be held accountable. Moreover, the current definition of war is not accurate.
From the beginning to the end, the Vienna government has not participated in it. It is just an ordinary civil conflict. What about war?
Although the scale of conflict is a bit larger, conflict is always just conflict, and war is two concepts.
Looking through the history books of the Holy Roman Empire, you will know that in the past few hundred years, there have been more Pk under its princes and foreign countries, but the central government is rarely involved.
Not only the Holy Roman Empire, but European countries have had similar histories. The private confrontation between the nobles is not equivalent to a war between countries, but can only be regarded as a non-governmental "friendship."
Only 10,000 people have participated in the conflict now. Believe it or not, in a few months, the number of participants will increase tenfold?
I can see that Prime Minister Chandler has made up his mind. As long as I don't admit that this is war, it is a civil armed conflict.
As for the British government's opinion, it can retaliate on its own. It's really angry, and it's okay to declare war directly, and the Vienna government will take it all.
In a sense, this is also the British people's own pot. It is tempting to keep a colony of tens of thousands of square kilometers in South Africa. If only a port city is left, the nobles will definitely not have such great enthusiasm.
After all, according to the national conditions of the Holy Roman Empire, important ports and large cities were returned to the central government, while other areas were categorized.
Although it cannot be said that the land that is smashed will belong to whoever, it is still necessary to take the fattest piece of cake.
War is a gold swallowing beast. If there is not enough interest to stimulate, even if the surroundings are all relatives, it is impossible to have such a high efficiency.
It was coveted by people, but now it has become an excuse to give it to the door. Is there any reason to not move?
The cause of the incident?
Aristocratic coalition forces: "Sorry, we only saw the British invasion. The troops were sent to defend the home and the country, and now they are only pursuing the incoming enemy.
As long as the British South African government surrenders all participants, and holds relevant responsible persons accountable, it is enough to compensate for the losses.
Regarding what happened before, I regret that it was only a side word of the colonial government. With your government’s integrity, we have every reason not to believe it. "
In short, if one does not know, all responsibilities have nothing to do with them. Not only is there no responsibility, but a hero who fights the aggressors and defends the country.
At least from the standpoint of the Vienna government, this must be defined. Regardless of the various reasons and causes and effects of the British, it is the original sin for the British troops to enter without permission.
At this point, it is obviously impossible to stop. The front lines are fighting, and it is too late even if it is stopped now.
Moreover, with the current international situation, the whole world knows that there will be a battle between Shenluo and Britain in the near future.
Doing it a few months earlier or doing it a few months later does not actually make a difference.
At this point, apart from talking about the causes and consequences, it has no practical meaning. Anyway, they all throw each other out, and in the end, the loser bears full responsibility.
As soon as the voice fell, the Secretary of the Army Feslav filled with indignation: "Your Majesty, the British army dared to enter without permission. It is clear that the empire is not in the eyes. We must give them a head-on attack.
Although the army was no longer the protagonist in the war against Britain, the army was still the main force in the colonies!
Regardless of the fact that both the navy and air force have developed well in recent years, in the colonial movement, they were all soy sauce brothers.
Looking at all the wars in the past few decades, we know that all were fought by the Army. In this context, most of the nobles under the military service noble system naturally came from the army.
Even if it is reduced to a supporting role this time, the main force is still the army when looting the ground.
No one can say about war. In case of a naval battle, the army will turn things around.
Although it didn't say it, it can be seen from actual actions that the army is not optimistic that the Shinra Navy can win.
In order to cope with the adverse effects of the navy's defeat, the War Department even formulated a "plan to turn the sky."
The content was very simple and rude. The main force sent troops from the Middle East to India through Persia, but started from Malaysia and flanked India through the Indochina Peninsula.
To sum it up: take down India and knock down Britain.
As for the territorial competition on the African continent, it can only be regarded as a daily adjustment, far from being a main course.
The plan has been worked out, and the prerequisite for implementation is naturally: Shinra goes to war with Britain.
Regardless of whether the Vienna government is currently focusing on developing the navy, as soon as the war breaks out, the only goal is victory-victory.
As long as the army can win India, then the navy and air force can only obediently follow behind as the first heroes of the war.
The Vienna government is naturally clear about the army's plan. Although there is no full support, there is still one more choice, and no one can refuse. The resources invested are still not a few.
The main reason is that everyone has insufficient confidence in the Navy and too much confidence in the Army.
Although the army’s plan is faced with an equally huge predicament, everyone believes that as long as they are willing to invest, they can always fight through.
Air Secretary Conrad echoed: "The marshal said well, we must hit the enemy head-on. The era of the British is over, and now it's our turn to perform."
The army wants war, and the air force wants war even more. As the youngest army, the Shenluo Air Force faces the same dilemma as the Navy-lack of record.
The army is a place that advocates the strong, and to prove that you are strong, you can only show it on the battlefield.
In contrast, the Air Force's confidence is still more sufficient. Although he was born late and participated in not many wars, the enemies he faced were even more rookies.
The Shinra Air Force still has experience in bombing and flying airships. The British Air Force on the opposite side is the naked and tender newcomer.
What's more, Shenluo's aviation industry started earlier, and its industrial strength is much stronger than that of the British. It is reflected in the military's superior performance of its fighter aircraft.
With so many advantages, as long as it doesn't do it on its own, the Air Force has absolutely no failed use.
In contrast, the Navy will be much sadder. Although the focus of obtaining government resources was tilted, the Royal Navy was overwhelmed.
Both the army and the air force are number one in the world, and they have the strength to outsmart the crowd, but the navy can only rank second.
Before these dozen new capital ships entered service, the navy did not challenge the strength of the Royal Navy at all.
It's a pity that time doesn't wait for anyone. The situation has reached the present stage, and it is impossible to wait for the navy to be ready before going to war. At least the British on the opposite side are unwilling to wait.
If you lose, you don’t lose. Seeing colleagues clamoring for war, Secretary of the Navy Castagni can only bite the bullet:
The Navy is ready. Once a war breaks out, we will use tactics to break the relationship and attack the enemy. Sea trade line.
After the new warship is put into service, we will go to sea to fight the British decisively and break the Royal Navy's maritime hegemony. "
There was no way, and he was discouraged at the last minute. Originally, Castagni wanted to shout some loud slogans, but seeing the scrutinizing eyes of everyone, he chose to tell the truth.
Fortunately, Castagni stopped him in time. If he clamored for a decisive battle with the Royal Navy, everyone would be completely chilled.
It is important for people to know themselves, and the military is no exception. It is not terrible to be unable to defeat the enemy, the most terrifying thing is not knowing it.
Especially for high-level government, a decision may affect the national fortunes in the next few decades, and accurate self-understanding is the most important thing.
...
Glancing at everyone, Franz calmly said: "The Navy and Air Force immediately initiated the first-level strategic mobilization, and the Army initiated the second-level tactical mobilization, and various government departments coordinated and cooperated.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a protest to the British government, condemning the shameless behavior of the British army illegally entering the country and attacking civilians, and ordered the British government to hand over the killer; the Propaganda Department immediately launched a public opinion offensive and surrendered all the responsibility to the British.
Departments stationed abroad have initiated the evacuation work. Except for intelligence agencies, other agencies in Britain and its allies strive to evacuate all within two months.
The evacuation operation is carried out simultaneously with the British, and can be packaged to neutral countries when necessary.
On the grounds of the tense international situation, the Customs has strengthened the review of the export of strategic materials to ensure that the materials do not flow to the British Isles.
The domestic economy has shifted to wartime, and the focus of resources tends to be warship and aircraft manufacturing, and the General Staff Department will determine the combat plan as soon as possible.
Order local colonial governments to activate a full-scale wartime system and give up part of their territories when necessary.
