London, 10 Downing Street.
The scenery outside the window is dim, the weather is very cold these days, and the capital of the British Empire burns countless coals every day - not environmentally friendly at all! So the whole city was shrouded in endless smog, making people feel gloomy.
However, the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington, was in a rare and comfortable mood.
His good mood came from two aspects. The first was, of course, that Robert Peel and Viscount Palmerston who returned from the United States brought him a surprise - because the Ming Empire, the Mexican Empire, the Gran Colombia Empire, the Republic of Peru, and Bolivar Seven countries including the Republic of Chile, the Republic of Chile, the Empire of Japan, and the Kingdom of Hawaii started negotiations to establish the Pacific Rim Cooperation Organization, which made the United States both angry and frightened. Therefore, the U.S. Congress successfully passed a resolution to join the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty Organization.
This is a traitor turning back!
After the independence of the United States, the British Empire said that it "doesn't want a son", but how could it not be true in its heart? Any fool can see the shortcomings of Britain's world empire: its homeland is too small and its white-skinned population is too small. Relying on 30 million British white men to rule such a world empire, and suppressing as many as 200 million Indian Asans, this situation can only be stable day by day.
On the other hand, the most powerful rival of the British Empire, the Ming Dynasty, had a territory of 18 million square kilometers and a population of 360 million Han people. And her vassal state only covers three to four million square kilometers and has a population of 30 million. Even including Japan, it has a population of 60 million. How can 60 million people overwhelm a population of 360 million? Moreover, most of these 60 million people are of East Asian ethnicity, that is, French, Germans and Anglo-Saxons.
It is completely different from European white skin and Indian Asan.
Referring to the model of the Ming Dynasty, if the British Empire wants to be stable, there is only one way, which is to bring back the traitorous son of the United States. Although the United States is the traitor, he is also the eldest son of the empire and the heir to the British Empire.
Moreover, America's growth potential is so great, Nizi's land is so capable of supporting people, and it is so attractive to the poor in Europe, that it will only be a matter of time before the population exceeds 100 million.
If one day in the future, England's father can't stand it anymore, he can let America, his son, take over. At that time, His Majesty the King can go to the United States to sit in the United States, and the capital of the British Empire can be moved from London to New York... With 100 million American whites and tens of millions of British whites, no matter how many Indian Asan breed, You have to work as a pawn for the British Empire for generations to come!
With hundreds of millions or even more than a billion Asan acting like nothing, is the British Empire still as stable as the Alps?
The second reason that makes the Duke of Wellington feel good is that Foreign Secretary Robert Peel is reporting on a secret diplomatic achievement.
“Mr. Prime Minister, Turkey’s Grand Vizier Kara Pasha has given verbal assurances to our ambassador that Turkey will gradually withdraw its troops from Greece as soon as our promised arms and military advisors arrive in Constantinople.
Although His Majesty Sultan Mahmoud II, at this critical moment of reform, in order to appease the country, it is impossible to immediately recognize Greece's separation from Turkey. But as long as Britain can conclude a secret agreement to ensure that when the Rakshasa Kingdom launches a full-scale attack on Turkey, it will ensure that Britain, France, Prussia, Austria and Greece will not actually send troops to participate in the war, and guarantee that Ali Pasha will not betray Turkey. Empire, then the Sultan can promise to recognize the independence of Greece after defeating the Rakshasa Kingdom. "
The Duke of Wellington was obviously very satisfied with the results of this secret diplomacy. He smiled and nodded: "Very good! Let our ambassador tell Mahmoud II that I very much appreciate his pragmatism and understand him." A certain amount of prestige is needed to promote the reforms of the Turkish Empire. Moreover, Turkey’s reforms will help maintain the stability of the Eastern Mediterranean and will be beneficial to the British Empire. So we, the British Empire, are ready to provide critical and effective help to the Turkish Empire!”
"Prime Minister, do you mean... that we will declare war on Rakshasa if necessary?"
"Prime Minister, this would undermine the good diplomatic reputation of our British Empire."
Foreign Secretary Robert Peel and Lord of the Admiralty Palmerston who were present thought that the Duke of Wellington wanted to lead the British Empire to jump between Rakshasa and Turkey, and they immediately tried to dissuade him.
"You have misunderstood. I will not disregard the reputation of the British Empire." Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, smiled and shook his head. "But I also have ways to ensure that the reputation of the British Empire is not affected. Under such circumstances, let the Rakshasa army suffer a disastrous defeat in front of the defensive position outside Adrianople!"
"How is that possible? How can the Turkish army defeat the Rakshasa Army?"
"Yes, the Turkish army...even if Mahmud II suppressed the Guards and established a new Turkish Army, they could not defeat the powerful Rakshasa Army. The Rakshasa Army is recognized as No. 1 in the world, with one million people alone, almost as large as the Ming Army, which has not fought a decent war in more than a hundred years."
After listening to the words of Robert Peel and Palmerston, the Duke of Wellington just smiled and waved his hands, saying: "Rakshasa's army is not the best in the world at all, it is just a large, bloated, outdated, and unable to keep up. Times have changed, and we are still stuck in the backward army of the Napoleonic Wars."
"But..." Viscount Palmerston, who still knew a little about the army, said puzzledly, "Prime Minister, isn't this what the armies of all countries are like now? Everyone's organization, equipment, and tactics are all at the end of the Napoleonic War. At most, the standard is to popularize breech-loading guns, breech-loading cannons, and machine guns."
Duke Wellington smiled and said: "Yes, no one realizes that times have changed! No, some people have realized it, but they certainly do not include the rigid-minded generals of the Rakshasa Army. And even if they It has recognized the changes and has no ability to change them. Because it is not only the Rakshasa Army that needs to change, but the entire country."
It turns out that there has been no major war in the world for more than ten years, and military technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the past ten years due to the second industrial revolution.
In this case, weapons began to get ahead of the thinking of military strategists. Armies of various countries with breech-loading guns, breech-loading cannons, water-cooled machine guns, and even air power were still using Napoleon more than ten years ago. The tactics and tactics that have been used... are not only like this for the Rakshasa army, but also for the British, French, Prussian, Austrian, and Ming armies in the East.
However, during the time when the Duke of Wellington was the commander-in-chief in India, he found an exception, a quite successful exception! They are the naval airborne troops of the Kingdom of Jin! The defensive battle they fought in Peshawar allowed the Duke of Wellington to see the future war... quite bloody and cruel, and very beneficial to the defending side!
Even though he was a military expert like the Duke of Wellington who had spent his entire life in the military, he had been thinking about it for several months, but he could not think of any good way to break through the solid defensive position composed of trenches, barbed wire, and machine guns.
Using overwhelming firepower to flatten the position repeatedly may be a way, but after the Duke of Wellington conducted several artillery experiments in India, he found that the method of using cannons to open roads was extremely inefficient, and the number of artillery shells required was absolutely astronomical. The Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom may be able to afford the numbers, but with the industrial strength of Rakshasa, they simply cannot afford such consumption.
Therefore, the Duke of Wellington had ordered a large amount of barbed wire and water-cooled machine guns to be transported to Constantinople, and he also sent British officers who had participated in the Battle of Peshawar. Of course, they all went to Constantinople personally after being discharged from the army.
According to the vision of this great military strategist, the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom will suffer an unprecedented tragic defeat where the walls of Constantinople can be seen!
