Chapter 1311 Secret Meeting
Of course, although Prime Minister David does not believe that the Russian Labor Party will remain "pure", it will obviously take a long time for the Russian Labor Party to degenerate. Just like idealists can only look forward to seeing the Russian Labor Party after being continuously devastated by the **** reality. Who is the real gold and who is the mud disguised as gold?
Prime Minister David believes that the Russian Labor Party is a group of cynical "impulsives" who will eventually return to real issues over time.
But their early impulse is enough to cause huge damage to any country, especially the United Kingdom, the most industrialized country in the world.
The struggle between the British government and the bottom workers has been going on for a long time. There are a huge number of workers in the UK and they have become a social force that cannot be ignored.
Of course, the UK is also one of the most active regions in Europe for the Labor Party. Even Karl, the important founder of the Labor Party, is buried in a cemetery in the UK.
Therefore, the British government is naturally highly vigilant about the Russian Revolution, fearing that this wave will repeat itself in the UK, so using East Africa to contain the Russian Labor Party is indeed a good idea in the eyes of Prime Minister David.
East Africa is also a monarchy, so even if it is a potential competitor for British hegemony, the attitude of the two countries towards the Labor Party is completely trustworthy.
Subsequently, Prime Minister David and Balfour organized a meeting of the British government cabinet to discuss how to use East Africa to fight the Russian Labor Party.
Just two days later, the cabinet had a clear strategy. After all, compared to parliament, internal cabinet meetings have fewer distractions and it is easier to unify ideas and consensus.
On the third day, Prime Minister David submitted a relevant bill to the Parliament on the issue of "redivision of powers in the Indian Ocean." As expected, the bill successfully passed parliamentary review.
After all, Britain has no better choice at present. It is necessary to stabilize East Africa and not join the Central Powers. It is also necessary to deal with the Russian Labor Party. At the same time, this division of spheres of influence can also be maintained under the guise of "territorial replacement" Live the dignity and face of the empire.
Even if a small number of people do not agree with the government's compromise with East Africa, they will not form strong opposition voices. With the opening of East Africa's market, Britain has also formed a pro-East African faction in recent years. Even though their scale and voice are not large, they The voices of those who oppose it are enough to drown out the voices of those who oppose it.
Of course, the so-called pro-East Africa faction does not really "love" East Africa, but is a new interest group with profound interests in East Africa.
After the economic rise of East Africa in recent years, trade with the United Kingdom has grown larger and larger. Naturally, some people can profit from the trade between East Africa and the United Kingdom, and these people naturally hope for the stability of the relationship between East Africa and the United Kingdom.
In the final analysis, this kind of political faction is formed by reality and is dominated by real interests, and it exists widely in every country.
Just like before the outbreak of the war, the political influence of the "pro-German" factions in Britain was not weak at all, but they were ultimately unable to prevent the shift in imperial policy.
…
Rhine city.
Britain acted quickly. Just two weeks later, British Ambassador to East Africa Thomson came to the East African government with instructions from the British government to conduct consultations between the two countries.
Emperor Ernst, Crown Prince Friedrich and other high-level East African officials attended the secret meeting between the two countries.
"But His Majesty the Emperor of the Rhine Empire, as well as all the senior officials of the Rhine Empire, we in the UK also had a small request before, and this request is also the basis of this negotiation."
The so-called issue of piracy in the Indian Ocean is obviously a wording used by the British to confer legitimacy on this meeting and to conceal its true purpose. After all, this negotiation is essentially a political compromise between Britain and East Africa, so naturally it cannot be conducted in such a straightforward manner.
Jointly safeguarding the security of the world's trade routes in the Indian Ocean and solving the problem of piracy are much more ambitious. In this way, the British government will naturally become an envoy for maintaining world peace and security.
Regarding these small details, the senior leaders of the East African government naturally did not reveal anything. Ernst asked directly: "I wonder, Mr. Ambassador Thomson, what is the British request?"
Thomson said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, what is our British request this time? It will not make it difficult for your country to do it, and it will be a good thing that will greatly benefit all countries in the world."
"I believe your country also knows that the evil organization the Russian Labor Party has gained momentum in Russia, and the Labor Party is a destroyer of order to all countries in the world, just like a pest in the farmland."
"He is gnawing at the foundation of legitimate governments of various countries, inciting people who do not know the truth, and causing huge damage to world peace and order. I wonder if your country agrees with our views?"
Ernst naturally said with certainty: "Of course, we in East Africa and your country are consistent in our attitude towards the Russian Labor Party."
Ambassador Thomson said: "Yes, but now there is a problem. To deal with such an evil organization, all countries in the world have the obligation to eradicate it. But as we all know, our British Empire has no time to look back for the time being, so we hope that your country can take on the responsibility If your country agrees to this responsibility, then our British Empire will be willing to suffer some losses and provide some conveniences for your country for the sake of world peace and stability."
Naturally, Ernst would not object to what Thomson said. After all, Ernst also wanted to be "incompatible" with the Russian Labor Party.
So Ernst said: "This is natural. Our attitude towards the Labor Party in East Africa is consistent, which is to resolutely attack and suppress it. You can rest assured, after all, even Russian Crown Prince Alexei is in East Africa now."
Hearing Ernst's words, Thomson was not surprised at all. Since the Labor Party came to power and Nicholas II disappeared, the value of the former Russian Crown Prince Alexei has greatly increased. As for Crown Prince Alexei's status in East Africa, The news is not a secret to all countries.
Thomson said: "In this case, we hope that your country will intervene in Russia next, support Russia's domestic forces, and drive the Labor Party out of power."
Ernst secretly complained in his heart that the British really looked up to East Africa. With the current situation of the Russian Labor Party, it was impossible to subvert it by East Africa alone, and Ernst had never been optimistic about the reactionary forces within Russia.
Even if East Africa fully supports these reactionary "insects", it will only help to put out the fire in the final situation in Russia. The intervention of external forces can further stimulate the unity within the Labor Party and make them stronger.
Of course, Ernst would never say this verbally. He replied to Thomson firmly: "Suppressing the Russian Labor Party is one of the responsibilities that no country in the world can shirk, and we in East Africa are no exception."
"Actually, we in East Africa have already made preparations to interfere with the Russian Labor Party. But unfortunately, Russia and East Africa are separated by the Indian Ocean, as well as the Ottoman Empire, Persia and other countries and regions. We in East Africa are beyond our reach!"
Of course, what Ernst said was not the truth, and what East Africa was doing was exactly the opposite. Currently, East Africa was arranging for the forces and organizations it had supported to retreat in Russia in an orderly manner.
Otherwise, with the strength of the East African Defense and Security Service, it can cause a lot of trouble to the Russian Labor Party, but it will only cause trouble. On the contrary, in Ernst's view, the stay of the Defense and Security Service in Russia will be a big trouble for East Africa.
Even if this kind of spy organization has undergone ideological training, it cannot change the powerful penetration ability of the Labor Party's ideological weapons.
Although Ernst will definitely not let all members of the National Defense and Security Agency withdraw from Russia, it is impossible for most members to stay in Russia. Personnel sent to Russia to conduct intelligence and espionage activities in the future must also be determined "junior" after passing layers of screening. "nationalist" warrior.
