Chapter 871 True love is meant to be sacrificed (Second update, please subscribe)
Edward Henry Stanley has already said this. If Benjamin, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, still doesn't understand, then his career as Prime Minister of the Empire will almost be over!
"Indeed, we are the United States, which needs us more now..."
Benjamin nodded and said.
"We should support the United States and support its expansion into Mexico. Even if the United States occupies Mexico, there will be no problem. At least it is better than being in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. When the United States expands into Mexico, the Americans will become our helpers to prevent the Ming Empire from investing their power in other battlefields for the fight for world hegemony! The power of our four-nation alliance will also undergo a fundamental change!"
“That’s right!”
Edward smiled coldly.
"That's why I say that the United States is our natural ally and the ally that we should win over the most... No matter what, America is far away from the British mainland. We can't send our fleet to America to fight the Ming Dynasty, especially under the threat of France, Russia and Austria-Hungary. But we can support the United States and take advantage of the contradictions between the United States and the Ming Dynasty to make the Americans the main force to prevent the expansion of the Ming Dynasty. The United States also has this intention. At least they are clearly aware of the threat of the Ming Dynasty!"
Edward's words made Benjamin nod in agreement:
"Indeed, the United States is constantly expanding its navy. If the US navy is comparable in size to that of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty's navy may join the Imperial Alliance Fleet!"
"Yes"
Admiral Milne, the Minister of the Navy, who had remained silent, also agreed:
"Yes, according to the naval expansion plan formulated by the United States, they will build 16 to 20 battleships in the next ten years, which is basically equivalent to the battleships of the Ming Empire... If we can induce the United States to expand into Mexico, then in order to protect Mexico, the Ming Empire will inevitably send out their fleet, which will make it impossible for their naval forces to be deployed in Europe, and the Royal Navy can completely defeat the French Navy..."
The British Empire's confidence has always been its Royal Navy, which is why other countries dare not challenge it... But with the operation of Emperor Zhu, the fleets of France, Ming Dynasty, Russia and Austria-Hungary were brought together, which directly frightened the British!
There is no way, in this world strength is paramount!
Of course, the Royal Navy has also considered that the four empires may not necessarily join forces directly, but the question is who dares to take the risk?
Especially those with big fortunes, they dare not take risks! After all, people wearing shoes are really afraid of those without shoes. If they lose, they will have nothing.
Therefore, the British are also eager to have their "allied navy". Especially for Admiral Milne, the Navy Minister, he wants to directly pull Germany, the United States and Italy, sell them the best warships, and then join forces to deal with the "Four Emperors Alliance".
Now, with the participation of the United States, Admiral Milne, who was originally a little timid, immediately became confident.
"As for Germany and Italy, we must win them over no matter what!"
Admiral Milne is not a diplomat, but he is a soldier. He knows how to settle accounts. Britain will definitely not be able to defeat those four countries by relying solely on itself.
"Yes, especially Germany! Compared to Italy, Germany is more powerful. The reason why Bismarck's attitude is ambiguous is that we are basically fighting alone."
Edward sneered when Bismarck was mentioned.
"So he was worried that we were no match for the Four Emperors' Alliance. However, with the United States on the other side of the ocean joining the alliance and becoming an ally of Britain, the balance of power has changed fundamentally! With the addition of Italy, our strength has already formed a preliminary advantage over the four countries. The addition of Germany will give us a comprehensive advantage in terms of national strength and maritime power. This is an all-round advantage!"
All-round advantages!
Isn't this the reason why Britain was so weak when facing the "Four Emperors Alliance"? It was because the "Four Emperors Alliance" now had all-round advantages over Britain. And through the alliance, the British Empire regained this advantage.
"But this is not easy!"
Benjamin said seriously:
"Even if we only consider it from a diplomatic perspective, the United States does need us more. However, we must also see that the relationship between us and the United States is not that friendly, and many Americans are also hostile to Britain. After all, the United States was split from the British Empire. In this case, how could the US Congress pass a bill to ally with the British Empire?"
This is the most realistic problem.
The fact that the United States is hostile towards the Ming Dynasty does not mean that it is very friendly towards Britain. In fact, many American politicians have always been wary of Britain. In their view, Britain is the biggest threat to the United States. They even worry that Britain will invade the United States one day.
You know, the White House...it was painted white after it was burned in England.
In this case, an alliance with Britain... is it possible!
Edward continued with the Prime Minister's words:
"So we should find ways to make Americans realize the threat of the Ming Dynasty and make them believe that the threat of the Ming Dynasty to the United States is imminent. As for Britain? Maybe there were some unpleasantness between us, but that is all in the past. At least we are of the same race, we are all Anglo-Saxons, and what about the Ming Dynasty? They are all Asians, the yellow race..."
Once again, Edward mentioned race, which was of course his inner thought. In his view, the rise of the Ming Dynasty was the biggest threat to white people and European civilization.
"Judging from the current situation, this is entirely possible! After all, the hostility towards the Ming Dynasty is the deepest in the United States, and many American politicians also see Mexico as a threat. Even many American citizens are willing to fight! We can strengthen this propaganda through the American press and make Americans believe that the Ming Dynasty is the biggest threat to the United States."
Benjamin nodded slightly.
"Indeed, we can indeed work on this. After all, ordinary people are the easiest to be fooled!"
"That's right. They have no consciousness of their own. Their understanding of the world is easily influenced by news and newspapers. All we need to do is to fund some anti-Ming journalists and newspapers in the United States and publish anti-Ming news in the newspapers. It may even only take a few months for those American country bumpkins to regard the Ming Dynasty as the biggest threat to the United States."
Prime Minister Benjamin nodded and said:
"Okay, let's do it! We must use the blood of Americans to safeguard the fundamental interests of the British Empire. The sacrifice of Americans is valuable! They once betrayed the British Empire, but now, their blood will make up for it all!"
Look... this is true love!
It is the true love of the British Empire for America...
"Anyone suitable, Edward?"
Benjamin asked.
"Of course, Prime Minister, I have already selected several suitable candidates!"
