Vol 2 Chapter 10: Jiangdong

Jeff Ferdinand did not dare to gamble. He knew that Germany's opposition was only directed at France. In August 1895, William II and the Marquis of Salisbury met in Kuwait. Germany made it clear that it was not interested in Turkey. As long as the plan was divided, the British would set aside France and the two sides would further negotiate!
It was an accident in history. The Marquis of Salisbury was delayed, and he did not participate in the second Kuwait meeting. He lost the opportunity to communicate in depth with William II, and "British and German" lost the best opportunity for cooperation. !!
Tong Yingde did not have in-depth exchanges, and the Germans made a strategic misjudgement that the British would compromise with France and Russia in the Near East in order to get rid of the diplomatic deadlock, which would increase the chance of the French-Russian alliance to attack Germany on the European mainland.
Yun Yingde's alliance was interrupted before it began!
Now that hasn't happened yet, Ferdinand doesn't know what will happen in the future. Once Britain and Germany move closer, where will the world landscape go?
After all, Germany at the end of the 19th century did not have the strength to challenge the British, and the imperial empire was still developing rapidly.
Look at a set of data to know:
From 1890 to 1900, Britain ’s gross domestic product increased by 34% during this decade, and Germany ’s GDP growth rate was exactly 34%!
Because of the difference in base numbers, the comprehensive strength of the two sides has not been reduced, but has continued to increase, and the British have a clear advantage!
At this time, in the hearts of the British, the biggest enemy was Russia, followed by France, and even the United States was ahead of Germany. The British did not feel the Germans threatened its dominance!
Of course, Germany did not challenge the confidence of the British. The pressure of the French-Russian alliance was enough to make the Germans focus on developing the army! Building a big navy? The Germans are not so proud!
阻止 If you want to stop this partition plan, the main targets are Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. You can only start from these countries.
There is no good way, Ferdinand does not, but there are still stupid ways. The simplest and practical way is to-intensify the contradictions of various countries!
It is precisely the contradiction between these four countries that constitutes the main contradiction in the current world. There are too many conflicts between the parties!
Ferdinand knew that although the contradiction between Britain and Russia was serious, since the strategic focus of the Russian Empire moved eastward, the contradiction between the two countries has eased a lot, and the possibility of outbreak is unlikely!
Not to mention the contradiction between German and French, neither need to provoked. Whenever possible, both sides will give each other a trip, there is no room for Ferdinand to intervene.
The rest is the English-French conflict and the English-German conflict. It is too risky to provoke alienation. Ferdinand has no intention of doing it by himself. The anger of the three countries, Britain, France, and Germany, can be sustained by few people in the world!
Then you can only use Yangmou to create an event to attract the attention of the powers!
Strangling friends do not die poor!
Jeff Ferdinand first thought of the British-Bulgarian War. This war took place between 1899 and 1902. The British and the Boers fought a battle for South Africa's rule!
I ca n’t help it. Who calls South Africa too rich?
In 1867, the descendants of the Dutch discovered the diamond in South Africa, which caused a sensation in the world, and treasure hunters poured in.
发现 The discovery of a large diamond worth 625 thousand francs at that time in 1869 further convinced Europeans that South Africa had rich treasures and caused an unprecedented rush for diamond hunting.
In 1884 and 1886, the world's most abundant gold mine was discovered in Dransval, and the "golden tide" was set off in Europe.
The British colonial authorities in Cape began monopolizing diamond-producing areas and began to annex South African land: the annexation of the diamond-producing area Sigulgaran in 1871; the annexation of the Nataliya Republic of the Boers in 1877; the annexation of all cards Fraria and Walvis Bay in the northwest.
In order to prevent the Boers from developing into the eastern coastal areas, the British prepared to seize Zululand in 1878 and destroy the Zulu nation. In 1887, the British annexed Zululand.
After the failure of the Zulu people, conflict between the British and the Boers was inevitable. In 1880, the British annexed the Transylvanian region, but after the defeat of the First World War in Maijubai, Britain had to withdraw from the Transylvanian region in 1881.
Shortly thereafter, a large number of gold mines were discovered in the Dransval area, and the subsequent British gold prospectors came to the area from Cape and Natal. Thousands of British people began to settle in the area and Requests for voting rights and equal tax payments-but without success. As a result, the situation in the region has become very tense.
初 In the early 1990s, the British and South African company's territory expanded to the Congo border, and the British and African Lakes companies invaded Niassalan, thus uniting the British colonies in South Africa.
The British and South African colonial Prime Minister Lodz clamored that the British would conquer the world and realize the so-called "Cape-Cairo" plan in Africa, that is, trying to bring British North and South Africa together.
By the mid-1990s, the only obstacle before Lodz's "Cape-Cairo" imperialist plan was the two Boers republics-Dransval and Orange.
While Lodz was organizing foreign immigrants in Johannesburg to internally reverse the rule of Drucker President Kruger ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he was preparing for an armed attack from the outside.
12 From December 1895 to January 1896, the Rhodes party feathers attacked the Transylvan Republic from the west and were completely crushed by Kruger.
In order to safeguard their interests, the Boer people approached Germany and opposed Britain. The contradiction between the British and the British has become increasingly acute, and a large-scale war is brewing.
To put it simply, the situation in South Africa is about to break out. The plan to divide Turkey in Britain now is to stabilize the rear and concentrate on competing for South Africa, the world's largest gold producing area!
I know that South Africa is so rich, how can Ferdinand not take a share? As early as 1885, at the beginning of the establishment of United Mining Corporation, it entered the South African horse racing enclosure, and did not rush to mine. It took the land ownership first.
A few years ago, Ferdinand's intelligence organization also extended its tentacles to South Africa. After several years of operation, it now has a certain strength.
There is no doubt that the British and British conflicts. As long as the gold mines in South Africa are still there, it cannot be eased. In the face of huge interests, the British cannot let go anyway, and the Boers are not willing to give up their wealth!
The two sides only need one Mars, and the war will break out. All Ferdinand has to do now is to detonate this Mars.
On this issue, Lord Lodz, the British and South African colonial prime minister, is the best ally, or the British capitalists behind him, are the best ally.
In promoting Britain's war on the Boers, everyone's interests are the same, and there are many common topics at stake. Under the lead of the United Mining Corporation, the capitalists who are jealous of South African gold mines are interconnected!
