Chapter 1298 Daming, let’s divide the world together (Second update, please subscribe)
Russia's ambitions are growing!
But it does not mean that Alexander II did not know his own strength. In fact, he knew better than anyone how strong Russia was... not so strong!
"Although a war with Britain could be a disaster, we can also see that more than a decade ago, when we formed an alliance with Ming, France, and Austria, we successfully achieved a goal we had always dreamed of - retaking Constantinople. Through the alliance, we made the seemingly powerful British dare not or could not stop our attack on Turkey. This is the fundamental reason for our success..."
As an emperor, perhaps because of his father's disastrous defeat and the "stroke" after the defeat, Alexander II knew better than other tsars what concession was. He was not like other Russian tsars, who were filled with expansionist ambitions that overestimated their own capabilities. In fact, he could always find the boundaries and recognize the reality. This is why he started the constitutional monarchy reform in Russia almost ten years ago. In another world, if he had not been assassinated by the Narodniks, which led to the failure of the reform, perhaps the Russian Revolution would not have broken out.
In this world, although Alexander II still promoted reforms, the scale of his reforms was very limited due to the resistance of the newly conquered region, Turkey. But even so, he still unswervingly promoted the reforms.
It is precisely because he can recognize the reality that he can realize what the "Imperial Alliance" means to Rome.
After a moment's silence, Alexander II said.
"If we give up this alliance, what will we get? We, the Romans, are powerless to fight against Britain. However, in this alliance, we have the power to fight against it. Generals, I think we should continue to consolidate our alliance with the French, the Ming people, and the Austrians, and fight against Britain..."
Confrontation with Britain is not just confrontation... the ultimate outcome of the road of confrontation is war.
"Of course, what we need is not just confrontation, but..."
Alexander II walked to the map, pointed to Persia on the map and said.
"It's for further expansion. Persia is only our first goal. The British have never tolerated our expansion in Persia. This means that no matter how much we expand in Persia, we will be blocked by them. This also means that a war is bound to break out between us and the British. War..."
After a pause, Alexander II stared at the map and reached out to India.
"Since war is inevitable, why don't we use the power of our allies and look further afield - such as India!"
India!
"Caesar's" suggestion made everyone's heart tremble. Grab India and turn it into the jewel in the crown of the Roman emperor!
If this succeeds.
It was God's blessing that the glory of the Roman Empire was completely restored.
"Your Majesty, this, this, this means that we have to go to all-out war with Britain! The British will never give up India!"
War Minister Vannovsky did not even notice the change in his tone.
"They won't give up, but...what's so scary about war?"
Alexander II asked rhetorically.
"We have seen the weakening of Britain in South Africa. They are weaker than we thought. The so-called Royal Navy is being surpassed by the Ming Empire Navy to some extent, at least technically. If we, together with the French, work together, our naval power will definitely far exceed that of the British. By that time, we will certainly be able to defeat them. God can testify that a disintegrated British Empire will bring rich rewards to everyone, generals..."
Turning around and looking at the generals around him, Alexander II said.
"Last time, we formed an alliance and forced Britain to remain neutral. We successfully recaptured Constantinople and realized the revival of the Roman Empire. Now, we have every opportunity to make the Roman Empire great again and let the whole world see the glory of the Roman Empire!"
As the Tsar finished speaking, Vannovsky said.
"Your Majesty, this requires us to tie the French and the Ming people together, which requires sacrifices in interests. In the last war, we got Turkey, France got Jerusalem and Mesopotamia, and the Ming...they got almost all of South America. Now, what can we say about them?"
The imperialists all know clearly what each other wants, and the friendship between them is often of a transactional nature. Don’t think that this is just dividing up the spoils. In fact, this is the reality of human society. Who would do something in this world that has no benefit?
The most important thing between countries is interests. Interests are the root, the core, and the basis of all cooperation. Once interests are gone, all that remains is conflict.
"What kind of persuasiveness can we use now to get them to take the initiative to get involved in this war?"
In Vannovsky's opinion, at least for now, there are no suitable chips to convince France and Ming Dynasty to join. As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire... that is even more difficult!
"Simple……"
Alexander II smiled coldly, walked to the large globe, turned it hard, and then sneered.
"We can clearly see that the entire world has been divided up. Both France and Austria are eager to have more colonies. However, if they want to obtain colonies, they must go to war with countries that have a large number of colonies. Britain is the best choice..."
In fact, there is another country, the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has vast colonies in Africa, and those colonies have been developed to a certain extent. However... now the Russians are eyeing Persia and India.
Naturally, they set their sights on Britain.
"Last time, Ming and Türkiye brought us together. Now, we can use the world..."
He raised his head and looked at the generals in front of him, then looked at the constantly rotating globe and spoke in a low voice.
"Use the whole world to attract France, Ming Dynasty and Austria, all of them, and let them share the world with us!"
