Chapter 303: Behind the scenes
"The Germans' response was very flat. They just made some protests in the newspapers, and the military power in Namibia has not changed. I don't know what is His Royal Highness Carlos I worry about?" French Speaker Charles. Dupuy asked in a puzzled way.
"This is abnormal. Even in the more moderate era of Frederick III, the Germans resolutely fought back against any country that dared to offend them! The Toshima naval battle is an example. The German fleet was easily defeated by surprise. Japanese, and destroyed two battleships."
"And now that William II, known as the German Peacock, has come to power, his foreign policy is more radical, and the speed of naval expansion has also increased significantly. They should not tolerate this kind of thing!" The Portuguese envoy Frank said with some worry. .
; "No, you don't understand Germany. Our target for this action is the Kingdom of Bavaria instead of Germany! Don't confuse the concepts of the two. The former is just a state within Germany, a vassal state with an area of only 80,000 square kilometers. What power can it have?"
"Maybe the German government will be angry about this incident, but it will definitely not take drastic actions. The German central government, or the Prussian government will not start a war thousands of miles away for an enveloped Catholic brother. Yes, and if you don't fight, then what can you be afraid of?" Speaker Charles said after lightly lit a cigar from Havana.
; If Prince Ruprecht learns about the dialogue between the two sides, I am afraid he will drop his jaw! He did not think that the reason behind the Yarrow incident was that the French wanted to deal with himself! Well, maybe dealing with Bavaria is just one aspect. What I didn't even want was that when I was preparing to clean up Portugal, Portugal took the initiative to find his boss!
; Is it necessary for the French to go with a kingdom? It is completely unnecessary in history. It can be said that there is almost no intersection except for the Bavarians and the French who fought twice on the battlefield, but this plane is different, because of the relationship between Prince Ruprecht , Bavaria has successfully taken away more than 10 million pounds of business from the French! 10 million pounds! What is this concept? Approximately equal to 200 million marks and 250 million francs!
"The francs we lent to Moscow eventually flowed into the pockets of the Bavarians. The development of Bavaria depends entirely on our francs! This is absolutely not allowed!" Speaker Charles recalled a few months ago. The French Minister of Foreign Affairs said bitterly when facing himself.
; France regards Russia's finances as its own place. For any country or individual trying to get a share of it, the French will not allow it! If the Russians ordered two Munich-class armored cruisers from Germany in the past and already touched the French bottom line, then the subsequent breach of contract was the French’s first counterattack. The French achieved a temporary victory, but then a series of Things made this French counterattack a laughing stock!
The Russian fleet was easily defeated in the Philippines by the Japanese fleet equipped with German-style warships. The direct consequence of this incident was that Russia once again found Bavaria and required to order at least 3 ships that could suppress the existence of Izumo, which was several hundred. Ten thousand pounds order! The money that originally came from France, and the money that should eventually be used to buy French weapons, flows into the prince's pockets. It's strange that the French can bear it!
; For a big country, especially a big country with high self-esteem, what should we do if we encounter setbacks? Naturally looking for a chance to find a place back! Since the Russians decided to purchase German warships once again and named the first ship Lurik 2, the French, who hated their teeth, did not want to avenge their opponents all the time.
Unfortunately, this time, the Russians will not listen to the French if they are killed. On the one hand, the results of the Philippine naval battle are still vivid, a lesson learned! On the other hand, the French financial weapons are no longer so deadly! Because the Americans took advantage of this US-Russian cooperation to successfully enter the Russian financial market, in addition to the French, the Russians found another benefactor!
Therefore, the French immediately found it difficult to avenge this "thief who plundered the wealth of France"! However, the French would never give in so easily. They set their sights on the world and searched for all clues related to the Kingdom of Bavaria.
; Bavaria has a good relationship with the Russians, but the French can't help it. Bavaria and the Americans are very close, and the latter is also competing with France for the Russian financial market. Well, measures are taken against the United States, but the impact on Bavaria is very small, and there is no way.
In the end, in a humble corner of the world, the French suddenly discovered that the most profitable business in the German colony-diamond mining was contracted by the Kingdom of Bavaria! Of course, the French government has no idea about this place located in the German colony. However, there are still some troubles in other aspects.
;For example, Namibia lacks people, and the prince’s diamond mines are even more lacking. A lot of manpower is imported from South Africa and Angola. The former is now caught in the war. The British government, which is struggling with human resources, will naturally not continue to allow manpower. Resources are imported into Namibia~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then the diamond mines in Bavaria can only rely on Angola's manpower, which is a very good entry point!
; And Portugal is also a good partner, why? Because this buddy is too weak! The French government just frightened the Portuguese to cooperate with their actions. Of course, the Portuguese also had a lot of opinions on the "illegal labor import" carried out by the prince. The two sides hit it off. Portugal was in the front and the French government was the back. Hide the boss!
; And one of the fundamental reasons for Portugal’s surrender is that the gentleman is innocent and drunk. A small country that is not third-rate has a colony of more than 2 million square kilometers. In this world where powers are rampant, Portugal has been frightened. As early as 1891, the British used naval guns to force Portugal to reduce its garrisons in Angola and Mozambique (this is a historical fact).
; And now, when France, a world-class power, says, do what I say and I cover you in Africa, let’s not say how much France can deliver in the end, but at least this statement is enough to offend the Portuguese Bavaria is now, and in Portugal's eyes, Bavaria is nothing but a state no matter how fierce it is!
