Chapter 603: The Role of Serbia
Anne receives love across the Atlantic every day, cheering for the hostess of Arlington, and it is certain that the Germans will give in because the British navy will calm the Germans, so the Moroccan crisis looks dangerous,
But it will not be the trigger for a war. Germany and France will go to war again only because of internal matters in Europe.
Also, the statement of the Russian Empire is very important. The Russian Empire cannot be underestimated at any time. The fact that this country does nothing there is already a threat. This is not what Sheffield himself thinks, but many people around the world.
Everyone thinks so.
Is the Iron Chancellor Bismarck famous enough? As the man who single-handedly planned the unification of the German Empire, he only saw two world powers, including the German Empire itself. The world powers in the eyes of the Iron Chancellor were the British Empire and the Russian Empire. Although the Russo-Japanese War
Some people pull their hips, but there are still many people who believe in the power of the Russian Empire and that the Russo-Japanese War is just a small-probability overturn. Even the British who supported Japan in the Russo-Japanese War believe so.
Therefore, it is not a common view in the world that the Russian Empire before World War I was a powerful foreign country but a weak one. It is purely a minority opinion.
The two major powers, Britain and Russia, are standing behind the French. The French have no reason to panic. In fact, the French political circles do not panic. With the blessing of the slave owners' ability to count hundreds of millions of dollars, public opinion has already urged not to let third countries pick up the pieces.
Went in the cheaper direction.
Receiving disgusting telegrams every day has become an indispensable part of Anne's life. Although many of them say that the situation is not a good thing but a good one, France will definitely survive this crisis. Danger and opportunity have always coexisted.
, if done properly, it is not impossible to obtain huge benefits.
Of course, the premise is not to blindly follow the British, but to screen the British's statements from the perspective of whether they are beneficial to the French. "The British strategy towards European countries is to find a weak ally and target the strong one. Britain
People have never been interested in a united Europe, only in Europeans killing each other."
"What do the British fear most? Napoleon, who implemented the continental blockade policy. Although the British relied on the support of the colonies to get through the difficulties during the continental blockade, they absolutely do not want the past to happen again."
"The momentum of the Germans now far exceeds that of other countries. The most important thing is to vigorously develop the navy, which poses a huge threat to Britain, which is an island country. When it comes to facing Germany, France and Britain are absolutely equal, so the French political circles are absolutely
We should not have the mentality of asking for help from the British, but show that if the Germans become stronger, France will never lose more interests than the British, who are the largest colonial empire in the world."
"Who is asking for what? Just because the UK looks safer than France, that doesn't mean the British have the upper hand. The English Channel is actually not that wide."
The world order is led by the United Kingdom. The contradictions and competition between Britain and Germany are crucial links. This competition and contradiction are first manifested in overseas and colonial issues. But as far as the European continent is concerned, the United Kingdom never wants to see an overwhelming
The emergence of a superior force and sitting back and watching Germany defeat France again and let it annex the Low Countries was inconsistent with British diplomatic traditions and security policies.
It had deep conflicts with France and Russia in Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. Germany and France even once united to fight against British forces in the Congo River region; France and Russia concluded a military alliance; Russia, France and Germany also intervened together to return Liaoning.
Therefore, this anti-British alliance is not a fantasy. After all, the British are the hegemon that everyone wants to challenge.
There is a characteristic of slave owners. When analyzing problems, they stand completely on the standpoint of the host country. When Sheffield stands on the standpoint of the Germans, he will wholeheartedly demolish the Allied Powers. The same goes for when he stands on the standpoint of the French.
in this way.
Not only did he help his wife analyze the hearts of the Germans, but he also analyzed the possible reactions of surrounding countries, while preventing the British from taking advantage. France paid the highest price in the First World War among the Allied Powers.
Although a well-deserved victory was achieved in the end, the post-war situation was actually even worse. France and Russia have always had a good relationship. The Franco-Russian alliance is much stronger than the Anglo-French alliance. It also served to contain Britain and achieve equal status in the Allied Powers.
Ace, but with the collapse of the Russian Empire after the war, France could no longer rely on the power of the Russian Empire to balance the influence of the British.
As for how to use Italy to stir up the nerves of the French, as a republic, slave owners have advanced experience in dealing with this kind of country. As long as it is a republic, it is not difficult to control public opinion.
Sheffield asked his wife to contact the branch of the United Company in Rome, and asked a nobleman of the Kingdom of Italy, or a member of Parliament, or anything else, to let a word about the Ottoman territory.
It doesn't matter who said this. It doesn't matter if the person is just a beggar. Just make sure that this statement reaches the ears of Parisians. It's like the United States digging the Panama Canal without talking to Colombia at all. Find someone
A local family in Panama signed a contract casually and forced Colombia to recognize it.
"It doesn't matter what the truth is. The manipulation of public opinion in republican countries is actually simpler than that in imperial countries. We only need to let specific remarks be known to the citizenry. If Italy really takes military action against North Africa, my dear
This is the ironclad evidence that the Germans are inciting the Italians to endanger the interests of France. After taking over the last Ottoman enclave, all places in North Africa except Egypt fell into the hands of the French. Even if the British felt uncomfortable,
I will hold my nose and bear this breath. At present, the British care more about the Germans, so we must firmly grasp this feeling."
Compared to Rasputin, who mingled in the upper class society of Imperial Russia, Sheffield, the magician hidden on the other side of the Atlantic, was even more outrageous. Now it’s time to see who’s prediction is more accurate. The number one magician of the 20th century
The battle is still going on fiercely, but there is no doubt that the slave owners have seen the dawn of victory.
Everyone can reason, but Anne still doesn't know how to do it specifically. How to make others believe that the Germans instructed the Italians to threaten the interests of the French. If during the diplomatic mediation of the Moroccan crisis, Italy has taken the risk and attacked North Africa, France may
Too late to respond.
This is a problem. After seeing his wife's reply to the telegram, Sheffield was a little confused. How to frame him? No, how to collect intelligence that is beneficial to the actions of the French army. There should be a third party involved. The United States is obviously not suitable for this role.
A goal that is too big will easily cause Europe to be wary of North America. Sheffield fell into deep thinking, "Let Russia play this role? No, the goal of Imperial Russia is also too big."
Moreover, as a candidate in the battle for the No. 1 magician of the twentieth century, Sheffield did not want Rasputin to help. This would damage the self-esteem of the boss of United Company. After going through the results of United Company's internationalization in his mind, Sheffield had to
He called the bodyguard leader Jesla over and asked, "How is the relationship between our branch in the Balkans and Serbia?"
Slave owners must also admit that the most international industry under the United Company has always been the Black Gold Transport Company. After thinking for a long time, Sheffield could only make his decision on Serbia, the trigger of the world war and the second brother of the Slavic world.
On the body.
Serbia was very dissatisfied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which hindered Serbia's expansion there. The Austro-Hungarian Empire's annexation aroused the indignation of the Yugoslavs. The people of Bosnia and Herzegovina also opposed Austria-Hungary.
Imperial rule and enslavement, with strong demands for union with Serbia.
The assassination of Ferdinand had a huge relationship with Serbia. Sheffield felt that it was very appropriate to let Serbia do this. The target was not big, but it was a very difficult country. Anyway, they were already dissatisfied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
There is nothing wrong with Italy.
"You also know that my wife is returning to China to visit relatives. Now there is a dispute between the French and the Germans. Everyone knows that I have such a harmonious relationship with many German companies, but Anne is my wife. For me, a peace-loving businessman,
The current situation is very painful." Sheffield sighed in front of the head of the bodyguard, originally wanting to heighten the atmosphere.
"Once the war breaks out, a large number of residents will definitely lose their homes. This will be of great help to our Black Gold Company's business. For us, we are not afraid of world peace, but afraid of the absence of war." Jesra said expressionlessly, thinking
His boss must have discovered a business opportunity again and was ready to let the Black Gold Company take a big hit.
"Let's not talk about business today!" Sheffield failed to heighten the atmosphere and spoke awkwardly. Before he could say a few words, he was completely distorted by the head of the bodyguard and his true nature was exposed. "But don't say, the outbreak of war will affect black gold."
Of course it is a good thing for the company. Wherever the order is destroyed, we will be there, but we cannot place our hopes in the hands of the French and Germans. These two countries are currently too strong for us. So.
We should look for some less powerful countries to attack, and you should know my standards."
"A country that is stronger than Italy is a truly powerful country!" Jesla nodded, "The boss directly explained the plan, and I will contact the branch in the Balkans."
"Okay!" Sheffield rubbed his hands and walked back and forth, and said to the head of the bodyguard, "I hope the Serbs will forge a telegram that the Allies support Italy's military adventure. It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, and it doesn't matter who the forger is.
