In the system of the Republic, Liu Zheng and Xie Fang have always exchanged letters.
first.
Australia was snatched from Britain, and this resource-rich New World still attracted the attention of the world. In this age of great exploration, who wouldn’t covet a wealthy colony like Australia? Therefore, the Longyan people took away Australia from the powerful Britain. This incident was shocking and at the same time they were gloating.
But they are also curious, how will Liu Shoufu, who comes from the mysterious East, build this Australia? What will Australia be like?
Will it still be a constitutional monarchy?
So who will be the emperor?
What kind of figure is this Liu Zheng?
It can be said that the whole world is now staring at Australia and trying to understand what kind of person Liu Zheng is from these aspects.
Britain.
William IV was indeed furious after British Australia was robbed. His empire on which the sun never sets has been so humiliated! He originally wanted to send troops to attack Australia... but a group of people in the parliament suppressed William IV's idea based on commercial considerations.
What's the reason?
First, William IV did not realize that although their British colonization process was very smooth and they were even at the forefront of the world, the process of the Industrial Revolution was also among the latecomers. But in global trade, Long Yan, which has been advancing by leaps and bounds, has begun to occupy an increasing proportion. This change, although subtle, is happening all the time. Refined salt, tea, fine wine, perfume, soap, and all kinds of exquisite things from Long Yan have begun to be active in the European market, and countless nobles are crazy about it. Even Long Yan's weapons and equipment began to flow to some European countries through Loulan's logistics center.
Under such circumstances, if Britain and Long Yan start to have a bad relationship, how much profit will Britain lose in trade?
This is almost uncountable, because the current situation in Tsarist Russia is a lesson learned from the past!
Tsarist Russia has begun to run out of food, and some noble luxuries are already hard to come by! Food prices began to skyrocket, and public dissatisfaction began to boil. Although Tsarist Russia is still strong on the surface, it has actually begun to act externally and internally. The situation in Tsarist Russia has begun to become a little unstable. This is why Long Yan imposed sanctions on Tsarist Russia.
Second, Australia is too far away.
After careful calculation of the costs of inputs and profits, these businessmen-dominated congressmen came to a result. Not worth it. Especially for Australia, it is not worthwhile to offend Long Yan, a big manufacturing and exporting country. In particular, Long Yan's current fine steel is the only one in the world. Everyone wants to buy it from Long Yan. Fine steel affects all aspects of life, as well as weapons and equipment.
Third, this is the most important reason. That is a matter of name. Although everyone knows that those who robbed Australia were the Liangzhou navy, in fact, those who now occupy and control Australia are actually other people. It's Xie Fang. A new country is about to be established. Are you going to find trouble with Long Yan? This really shouldn't happen, but it's not worth it.
To sum up, given the character of these businessmen and councilors in Britain, it is naturally not recommended to start a war with Long Yan.
so.
Now William IV looks very unhappy when he sees this announcement from Australia.
"Republic, Australian Republic..."
The entire parliament was also silent.
Globally and throughout Europe, Britain is more like a republic! But all because of the existence of the monarch, this republic seems a bit nondescript!
Slap in the face!
Isn't this a slap in the face?
"Australia, Australia..."
William IV was full of anger and regret.
"Your Majesty, we should still follow international etiquette and send a congratulatory letter to Australia..."
Australia will be established as a nation in two months and needs to be recognized by some major powers.
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense!"
William IV slammed the table hard and roared: "We still want to recognize their legitimacy? Huh?"
"His Majesty……"
"Your Majesty... the founding of Australia is a fait accompli. There is absolutely no need for us..."
"Your Majesty, Long Yan and Liu Zheng sent a letter a few days ago, saying that he will visit us in Britain, but we still..."
"Your Majesty... what we should be most concerned about now is France..."
A group of people quickly persuaded.
France!
That's right.
Recently, the Suez Canal is about to be opened. This is the focus of most attention in Europe!
France has begun to sharpen its sword...
How will things go?
neither knows!
But these British MPs still smelled a glimmer of opportunity!
After hearing the news about his mortal enemy France, William IV's eyes suddenly flashed: "How are we preparing..."
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"good!"
…
at the same time.
Louis XV in France also received official documents from Australia at this time.
"The Republic of Australia..."
Louis XV smiled coldly.
What a bullshit republic!
In his opinion, autocratic monarchy is what a country should be like!
What does Australia want to do by creating such a republic in the first place? how? Is this constitutional monarchy not working anymore? So the country no longer has an emperor?
absurd!
Moreover, this Australian republic directly skipped the mixed equilibrium system and directly adopted the power balance system!
This has a huge impact on European ideology.
In the seventeenth century, in Britain, a fierce debate broke out over the "doctrine of separation of powers". Even Britain's Glorious Revolution was actually the practice of the doctrine of separation of powers. They don't yet know how much influence this theory will have on the future world.
At this time, Australia is in one step!
It hurts my heart!
Louis XV couldn't help laughing: "Is this a slap in the face of Britain? Humph! Give the power the Lord gave you to those stupid pigs, stupid, stupid!"
He naturally sneered at this.
When this theory began to become popular in Europe, Montesquieu, a thinker from France, also wrote a book called "The Spirit of Laws", in which he completely and incisively explained the doctrine of separation of powers and mutual checks and balances.
certainly.
Louis XV still sneered.
"absurd!"
"It's just ridiculous!"
Louis XV, muttered.
"I heard that Long Yan's Liu Shoufu is coming to Europe and attending the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal in person?"
Louis XV suddenly remembered this.
A group of ministers nodded.
"Hahahaha... Then let him try the power of our great France!"
"Suez, this time, you must win it for me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
That's right.
During the discussion between Liu Zheng and Xie Fang, Liu Zheng formally separated the three powers and regarded them as the founding square of Australia.
What Xie Fang didn't know at this time was that this fully demonstrated the importance Liu Zheng attached to Australia.
Why do you say that?
Because in the previous life, when Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws" was published, it not only aroused heated discussions around the world, but even in the eighteenth century, the United States used Montesquieu's theory to use constitutional law for the first time in history. form, perfectly constructing a country with a decentralized and balanced system!
This is America!
After this country became strong, everything started from here!
now.
Liu Zheng brought history forward...
Decided to focus on Australia.
This new continent they can outline at will!
Longyan, inappropriate.
Only Australia!
then.
Next, the two major events that attract the world the most.
One, is Long Yan, Liu Zheng, and Liu Shoufu’s trip to Europe.
Second, it is the founding of Australia!
However.
No one noticed at this time.
Japan...
Already on the verge of being destroyed...
