Chapter 468: Differences and consensus

"His Minister, the local side has received information that the senior officials of the Republic of Brazil intend to conduct military cooperation with the United States to allow the United States to establish military bases in the territory of the Republic of Brazil. I wonder if your country has heard of this news?"
After discussing economic cooperation, Tang Jingsong turned around and asked.
"Is your country's intelligence source reliable?"
The British Minister did not directly answer Tang Jingsong's question, he asked rhetorically.
"The information obtained from the local side comes from within the Republic of Brazil, and the source of the information is determined to be reliable."
"The Empire has received similar information a few days ago, but according to the information we have obtained, only some pro-US officials have unauthorized contact with the Americans. The senior officials of the Brazilian Republic have not made a clear statement to support the plan to establish military cooperation with the United States. "
The British Minister explained: "The information obtained by your country may be partly different from the real situation. The Republic of Brazil has no reason to take a huge political risk and conclude military contracts with the United States without authorization. Doing so will not benefit their national security."
The British company tried to justify the actions of the Republic of Brazil as much as possible. In fact, I also knew that the Han side must have obtained accurate information, otherwise it would not be in his face to stab the Americans and the Brazilian Republic. come out.
Apart from the separate Brazilian Empire and the two southern territories occupied by the Han Kingdom, the Republic of Brazil is still considered to be the largest country in South America (including the South Mato Grosso and other territories currently recovered by the Republic of Brazil).
The territory under actual control ranks first in South America, and the country ’s total population and military strength on the bright side are not bad. Coupled with the support and security guarantees of the United Kingdom, objectively speaking, the international situation currently facing the Republic of Brazil is not counted difference,
However, even the best national resources, military power, and international security guarantees cannot withstand internal separatism and corruption. Conflicts and conflicts among different ethnic groups, such as blacks, whites, Indians, black-and-white races, yellow-and-white races, royalists, republicans, conservatives, comprador capitalists, local separatist autonomy forces, warlord armed forces, etc. ,
The contradiction between the two main aspects involved a lot of energy within the Republic of Brazil, making it almost impossible for them to unite together to jointly meet the challenges of external forces.
Of course, the degeneration and degeneration of a regime are all-round. Even if the conflicts and differences between different ethnic groups are temporarily resolved, in terms of the nature of those officials, compradors, and the emerging bourgeoisie, they will think of other ways to use their hands. Power and intricate interpersonal relationships for greater benefits for themselves.
Innate deficiencies in culture, ethnic group, ruling class, etc., created the situation of the division of Brazil, and it is also likely to leave the bane for the future demise,
From a neutral perspective of outsiders, Hermes believes that the Republic of Brazil has almost become a mess. There is no strong leadership and no incentive to reform. The internal military, officials, businessmen and other classes have been The Brazilian Empire is leaking everywhere. Without the encouragement and support of the British Empire, not to mention the threats from both the external Han Kingdom and the Brazilian Empire, the conflicts and differences between the internal ethnic groups alone may also lead to the collapse and division of the Republican regime.
A country with weak ruling foundations, internal conflicts, and even imminent collapse is not suitable as a stable export destination for British capital. However, for the benefit of the British world hegemony strategy,
The Republic of Brazil cannot fall down for the time being,
The Republic of Brazil is an important piece and bait on the chessboard in South America,
It must be meaningfully sacrificed, and must be able to exchange for equal or higher value returns for the UK,
Otherwise, even if the top leaders of the Republic of Brazil are incompetent and corrupt, the British side will try to maintain the apparent peace of the Republic of Brazil, and guarantee the territorial integrity and national security of the Republic of Brazil.
However, all these premises are based on the fact that the Republic of Brazil honestly obeyed British security. If the Republic of Brazil has other ideas, secretly introducing American military power to offset the British control of them, then, the United Kingdom The direction will also take the necessary countermeasures to punish and beat the Republic of Brazil, so that they understand how terrible consequences they will face if they do not obey the British arrangements.
The British side has to draw Han against the United States, and also intends to limit the expansion of Han's power to achieve the purpose of mutual checks and balances. Therefore, Hermes's attitude is very clear and resolute for the tentative objectives revealed by Tang Jingsong's question. : Regardless of the degree of authenticity of the intelligence obtained by the Han State, the United Kingdom is firmly opposed to Han ’s attempt to expand the scale of the war and launch an offensive against the Brazilian Republic.
"Your Excellency, if our information is true and reliable, the high level of the Republic of Brazil does carry the British Empire and has established a military cooperation relationship with the United States, and allows the US Army and Navy to use the ports in the Republic of Brazil as a base to launch an attack on the Republic of Korea. What position does Congress hold? "
Tang Jingsong did not intend to discontinue this topic and continue to test the way.
"Please rest assured that the British Empire will not allow this to happen,
The empire side will definitely solemnly inform the United States side, showing the British Empire's determination and stand to maintain peace in the Americas, and resolutely oppose the United States unilaterally, any attempt to undermine peace in South America! "
Hermes righteously promised: "For the Republic of Brazil, the British Empire will also do its due duty, reminding the Brazilian high-level to keep a certain distance from the United States and not to act irrationally.
"Thank you for your efforts to maintain peace in South America. However, if things really deteriorate to an irreparable level, the Han side will also take the necessary measures to eliminate the threats posed by the United States and the Republic of Brazil to national security strategies. . "
"" Your worry is completely superfluous. With the British Empire centered and coordinated, things will definitely not go to the step that your country expected. "
Herald Hermes explained a few words, and then reiterated the British position: "For the Americans and the Republic of Brazil, the British Empire will intervene personally to ensure that it will not affect the national security of your country.
However, on the other hand, before the incidents in the United States and the Republic of Brazil have come to fruition, your country must also ensure that the war is limited to Paraguay ’s territory, and the scale of the war must not be arbitrarily expanded and the flames of fire should be burned into the territory of the Brazilian Republic. Inside. "
"Of course, the local side respects the interests of the British Empire. Before the national strategic security is threatened, the Han side will not attack the local control area of ​​the Brazilian Republic without authorization."
"Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. I suggest that for the friendship between the empire and your country, and for the peace in South America, we should find a suitable time to celebrate."
Initially completed the task explained by the British. Hermes stood up with a smile on his face and politely said.
"The next weekend is a good day. When the time comes, I will go to the British embassy with my wife and visit you in person." ............
It was already dark, and sent the British Minister out of the meeting room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Tang Jingsong put on his coat and was on his way to the door of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. The first-class foreign secretary Wu Zhongxian, who accompanied him, asked curiously: "Chief Tang, just before the British Minister left, why didn't you test the British further? The bottom line? "
"No need, the local strategic goal has always been very clear, and the British understand this, so it is not necessary to continue to test the bottom line of the British."
Tang Jingsong explained while walking: "Young people ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Diplomacy game is a university question, you will follow me to deal with affairs in the future, pay more attention to observation and learning."
"Yes, students remember the teachings of the Chief Executive."
"Your generation has caught up with the good times. At the beginning, there were more than 120 students who participated in the plan to study in the United States. Seventy or eighty people joined the local community. Among the first graduates, Zhong Juncheng, Chen Peihu, Zhong Wenyao, Some have grown up to be foreign ministers, able to handle foreign affairs independently on behalf of the local side. Some have gone through the internship and training stages and started to take up leadership positions in important departments at the bureau and division levels.
Qian Wenkui, Lu Yongquan, Ouyang Geng and others in the second and third phases have now begun to work in various departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local embassies in various countries, and they will soon be in working condition.
Although the number of your group is not large, diplomatic professional skills are good. Since you have caught up with the good opportunities for national development and rise, you should seize the opportunities and work hard in the corresponding positions, not because of the experience of studying abroad. The advantages, complacency, and wasted good years. "
Tang Jingsong, as a senior and superior, carefully taught the young people around him. On the other side, Hermes just returned to the embassy and told the garrison who was welcoming:
Issued a report to London. First, it suggested that London re-evaluate the comprehensive strength of the Han Kingdom (more than 2 million mobilizable military forces) and increase support for the Han Kingdom.
Secondly, in view of the massive expansion of US capital and the impaired imperial capital, it is recommended that the London side make up its mind and give up the power to dominate South American affairs! And from now on, embark on a plan to gradually withdraw from South America ... "
