John Andre didn't know that his discussion actually told the whole world directly that Ming Dynasty was different from them.
As a journalist or political commentator, John never thought that his view would be recognized in many countries a few years later. Just as he expected, just a few short years later, "Yellow Peril Theory"
” and began to become popular in various countries.
Facing the sudden rise of empires in the New World, Europeans began to worry about their "right to speak in civilization."
But now... not many people realize this reality, or in other words, when Europe's attention is attracted by Turkey, Ming Dynasty... no country will pay attention, even if the British notice it, so what?
?
Both the Imperial Alliance Fleet and the Ming Empire's spaceships are telling the British a reality - they are powerless to interfere!
Of course, it was powerless to intervene. At the beginning of the war, Britain began to export a large amount of arms to Brazil. Ships transporting arms entered and left Brazil's ports almost every day. This was also the reason why the ship "New Continental" was able to enter Rio de Janeiro. It seemed that
The Ming Dynasty did not realize the importance of blockading the port at all.
When the "New Continent" sailed towards Yingtian, in the British Embassy in Yingtian, the British Ambassador to the Ming Dynasty Stanley Howard Harris, the third Earl of Malmesbury and the son of the former British Foreign Secretary
, was discussing war issues with Brian in his office.
"We can see that even when the Brazilian navy was completely destroyed, the Ming Empire still did not send their cruisers or warships to the Brazilian coast to block the ports and prohibit the entry and exit of merchant ships. It seems that they have no intention at all."
As a lieutenant commander in the Navy, Brian has been doing everything possible to collect intelligence from all aspects in the past few years.
"And based on the intelligence we have received, their goal of declaring war on Brazil seems to be limited, limited to recovering the Mato Grosso area in the northeastern part of Paraguay Province that is occupied by Brazil and is rich in mate tea. Of course, there is also a
The purpose is to occupy Uruguay. We have intelligence that their goal is based on the security of the capital. After all, their capital is only separated from Uruguay by a river..."
"This is inevitable!"
Stanley said with deep approval of the major's report.
"The Ming Empire is a lonely existence in South America. They are different from the Spanish-speaking countries established by Spanish descendants, and they are also different from the Brazilians of Portuguese origin. They are even completely different from those descendants of Spaniards and Portuguese in terms of race.
When facing these people, I feel threatened. This threat is like the mutual distrust between races..."
After thinking for a while, Stanley thought of a Chinese word.
"People who are not from my race must have different hearts. What does this mean? People of different races must be full of hostility. Major, they will never tolerate the territory of other countries near the capital. Therefore, this
The goal of the Ming Empire in the war is probably very simple, which is to occupy Uruguay! Ensure the safety of the capital."
"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, this reminds me of another Chinese word - how can one allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Under this tradition, their occupation of Uruguay is inevitable!"
After staying in China for a long time, I will always say a few Chinese-style words, and Brian is certainly no exception. After saying this, he asked again.
"So what is our attitude in this war?"
"Our attitude?"
Stanley asked directly.
"Major, my friend, what does the British Empire want? A unified and friendly world?"
Wagging his fingers, Stanley said with a mission-filled tone.
"What the British Empire needs has never been a peaceful and beautiful world. For the benefit of the British Empire, what kind of South America do we need? Of course it is torn apart, a country full of conflicts, and it may happen at any time
In South America, where the war broke out, after Argentina was destroyed by the Ming Empire, what did we see? Is it the Ming Empire and
Brazil colluded with them to carve up Paraguay and Uruguay. The two countries seem to have become good neighbors. This is obviously not in our interests. Now..."
Stanley said with a sneer.
"The Brazilians are just paying the price for their short-sightedness. The Ming Empire will soon occupy Uruguay on the east coast, but what about Brazil? They are mobilizing their troops, and the two sides will continue to fight in the future, no matter how the war ends.
As a result, peace between the two countries will never be restored!"
When Stanley mentioned the word "peace", his face was full of sarcasm. What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? This is not it!
How did Brazil collude with Ming Dynasty? Uruguay fed them all, but what about now?
Daming is teaching Brazil how to behave, isn’t this retribution?
It is not retribution, but the necessity of international politics.
"It seems to be a good thing for the British Empire! This war!"
Brian looked at the ambassador and said.
"So, our position is neutral?"
"It is not neutral in the simple sense. We need Brazil to contain the power of the Ming Empire in the New World. Especially at this time, our situation is very embarrassing now. The Royal Navy that we are proud of cannot stop France, Ming, and Russia at all.
As well as the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Alliance Fleet, in the face of their worldwide expansion, we can only swallow our anger."
As a diplomat, Stanley never imagined that the British Empire would one day face such a dilemma.
"Now our diplomats are fighting for our allies around the world. We have to build new alliances to fight against their alliances. But before that, there was not much we could do, but right now... Ming Dynasty and Brazil
The war between the two countries restricted the power of the Ming Dynasty to a great extent, making it impossible for them to send troops to Turkey together with the French. Therefore, while maintaining neutrality, we must also support Brazil as much as possible. This is also
The reason why London provided two million pounds worth of aid to Brazil, we need them to stop the Ming ambitions in South America, Major."
While speaking, Stanley stood up, walked to the window and looked at the city outside the window, and then said in an extremely sighing tone.
"What is our responsibility as diplomats? To do our best for the benefit of the empire,"
