In order not to benefit from being profitable by the fisherman, the Tsarist government did not want to provoke a war against Britain at this time. Not to mention Britain, the center of the storm.

I ran to the land to fight a great power. When did Britain be so brave?

Even if you really want to fight, you will still bring in a bunch of cannon fodder allies and rush over. It is impossible to do it alone.

The Tsarist government was afraid of Britain's strength, while the London government was even more afraid of Mao's strength. The most important thing was to go to war with the Russians. There was not much benefit if they won, but they could lose to India.

Having personally experienced the power of the Afghan guerrillas, the British government no longer cared about the Afghan area.

Unfortunately, these guys are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When they deal with the British and Indian colonial army, they are both inferior. When they meet the unreasonable Mao Bear, the Afghan guerrillas did not have an amazing record.

This is not surprising. Although Afghanistan has strong folk customs, its local resources are poor, and the land suitable for agricultural production is limited, and the population that can be raised is limited.

Because of the war, the local population was even smaller. The Tsarist government deployed more than 200,000 Russian troops in the Afghanistan area, and the local military-civilian ratio has reached 1:10.

A Russian soldier looked at ten Afghan people, and he couldn't make a fuss even if he wanted to make a fuss! No matter what, the combat effectiveness of the gray animals was still much stronger than that of the Indian colonial army.

If Britain's troops stationed in Afghanistan were the main forces, not the British and Indian legions, they would not have been bullied as badly by the guerrillas.

After all, international public opinion these days only focuses on Europe, and all countries are tacitly pretending to be invisible to what is happening in overseas colonies.

Of course, this is just a thought. The total strength of the British army is less than 200,000. How can we send more than 200,000 to Afghanistan?

Although the army is a little cheaper than the navy, it still cannot change the fact that the army is a gold-eating beast.

With the exception of the Russians, even European army powers only had 500,000 and 600,000 standing troops in peacetime.

If more than 200,000 troops were sent to a region at one time, even the Vienna government would feel pressured, and the British government would not have to think about it.

It is precisely because it cannot be done that after the situation in Europe has changed drastically, the British government will give up the burden of most parts of Afghanistan and temporarily compromise with the Russians.

If these problems were not available, the British government would grit its teeth and hold on. With Britain's financial resources and the manpower in India, the Russians would definitely be the ones who would be dragged down if they were exhausted.

War is the continuation of politics, while politics is the continuation of interests. Both the British and Russian governments believe that the outbreak of war is not in line with their own interests, so war naturally cannot be fought.

Provoking discord can only worsen the relationship between Britain and Russia, and cannot truly influence the decisions of the two governments. Even Shinra has a very strong influence in the Tsarist government? It is not as good as making decisions for them.

...

The first wave of international strategic plans organized and implemented by himself went bankrupt? Apart from a slight disappointment, Frederick was not depressed.

Provoking the British-Russian War? It was originally a low-probability event.

Even as early as nine years ago, the Vienna government began to prepare and helped the Russians build the Central Asia Railway? That only deteriorated the British-Russian relations and slightly increased the success rate.

In order not to expose his intentions too clearly? After the main line was opened to traffic, he evacuated the technicians of the Austrian Railway Company as soon as possible.

However, this is still useless. It is an open conspiracy, and no matter how much it is concealed, it cannot change the fact that the Vienna government wants to provoke the British-Russian war.

In this context, failure is normal. Now is just the beginning? At most it can only be considered a test.

The British-Russian War does not break out now?       It does not mean that it will not break out in the future. The seeds of war have been planted, and now they are waiting to take root and sprout.

...

In July, through the blue sky, the sun shines on the earth like a big fireball, evaporating the clouds? The sky looks particularly high.

The Port of Trieste under the scorching sun is particularly lively today. The guards from where they came from? They surrounded the dock.

None of these affected the local people's hearts of watching the excitement, as if they were already commonplace? It was just shocked by the first time merchants.

Looking at the increasing number of soldiers on the street, Du Chengen, who was afraid of trouble, decisively led people to answer the hotel? He was afraid that he would cause a huge disaster.

There is no way? The international environment these days? It is quite unfriendly to Chinese businessmen and we have to be cautious.

Without the support of the state, we have caught up with the most serious era of racial discrimination. engaging in overseas trade is to take risks with our lives.

The emergence of Lanfang Autonomous Province only slightly changed this situation and did not really turn the situation around.

There is no way, and the rights are always obtained by oneself. As a legal country, since it has accepted the Lanfang Autonomous Province, it is natural to recognize Lanfang's household registration.

However, this recognition is limited to the Holy Roman Empire itself. Internationally, the recognition is still not high.

Or even if it is recognized, it is difficult to get involved in the tiger skin of the Holy Roman Empire. In the final analysis, the Chinese businessman encountered problems, and the first choice was to calm down.

On the one hand, it is inconvenient to transmit information these days, and it is very difficult to prove your nationality; on the other hand, it is bullying for many years, which makes Chinese businessmen not want to deal with government officials.

If something goes wrong, I don’t seek help from the embassy as soon as possible. Instead, I find a way to solve it myself, which naturally cannot intimidate the jackals.

Against this background, more and more Chinese businessmen engaged in overseas trade choose to do domestic trade in the Holy Roman Empire or business with Asian countries.

Anyway, the domestic market of the Holy Roman Empire is large enough, and everyone is familiar with Asia, so it is enough to eat it by themselves.

Du Chengen is one of them. Originally, he was only active in Southeast Asia and East Asia, and directly transporting tea to Europe. This is the first time he has encountered this.

Although the new trade line was opened, Du Chengen's nature of being cautious and cautious was still not changed. He would rather make less money than cause trouble for himself.

After transporting the goods to the Port of Trieste, they directly traded with local tea merchants and did not intend to operate the European market in depth.

Seeing that the number of soldiers outside increased, Du Chengen, who was cautious, naturally did not want to stay.

"The boss, there are so many people watching the fun outside, why are you so anxious to leave?"

Glazed at the young sailor, Du Chengen scolded: "Afu, how many times have you told you, the most taboo thing about going out is to be curious.

There are so many soldiers on the streets now, who knows what will happen next? If you get caught in it and get knocked out by someone, you can't even cry."

After hearing Du Chengen's words, the guide on the side was unhappy, and his country was described as a place of chaos.

However, for the sake of being an employer, Laucoll still restrained his emotions and reminded him slightly: "Du, you are too worried.

This is the Holy Roman Empire. As a legal country, our army will not shoot at civilians at will.

Unless you attack the military blockade or approach with weapons, you will be warned to leave at most.

It doesn't matter if I guess correctly. If I'm not wrong, a large warship was launched today and the port was closed.

This is also a major feature of Trieste. If you want to see it, I can take you to the observation deck, bring a telescope and see the warships in the water."

As one of the shipbuilding centers of the Holy Roman Empire, warships will be launched almost every once in Trieste, but not every time the dock will be closed.

Generally speaking, such big news will only happen if large warships are launched and there are big figures in the country.

The details of it are naturally not discussed by Laucoll, who is very proud of himself. Now he wants to take his employers over and pretend to be a good person.

Realizing that he was talking nonsense, the experienced Du Chengen immediately remedyed: "Sorry, Mr. Laucoll. But we are really tired today and just want to go back and rest now.

Today's work has ended, and you can move freely in the next time, just come by before 9:30 tomorrow.

If possible, it is better to take a few photos of warships launching, so that we can see them as well.”

Hearing today's "work is over", Laucoll's dissatisfaction was wiped out and he immediately promised: "Don't worry, I am the most familiar with Trieste, and I can definitely take the best photos."

After saying that, before Du Chengen and others bid farewell, Laucole disappeared in a flash. Obviously, watching the fun is much more interesting than working.

When he returned to the hotel, Du Chengen and others happened to meet the boss, James, who was carrying a camera and was about to go out.

The old man warmly invited, "Du, it's time for you to come back. Do you know that there is a super battleship going to be launched today, and it is said to be an epoch-making warship.

I have to admit that you have such good luck and have caught up with this historical moment. Now follow me and witness history!”

If it were an ordinary person, it was very likely that he would be fooled. But Du Chengen knew that this hotel owner, who was almost Grandet, would only be so enthusiastic when facing ASCHENG.

Immediately refused, "Sorry, Mr. James. We have been busy all morning and are now very tired. We have no honor to witness history with you."

After being rejected, James did not continue to entangle, but just sighed: "That's a pity. We can buy a good place to witness the scene of history just by just 5 ASUS.

After hearing James' sigh, Du Chengen finally understood why the previous guide and the hotel owner in front of him invited him.

Although James said it easily, he only needed "5 ASUSs". In fact, this number is already the income of the lower-level workers in one month.

Even if Du Chengen is engaged in international trade, after deducting all costs, the profits he earns are difficult to exceed one thousand SHIELD.

There is no way. With the development of the times, the era of huge profits in marine trade is slowly disappearing. Especially the emergence of large cargo ships has greatly squeezed the profits of the industry.

Du Chengen gave up his familiar Asian route and ventured to Europe to do trade, but was actually forced out by cruel market competition.

In addition to doing trade in Trieste, Du Chengen's more important purpose was to purchase a 10,000-ton cargo ship.

As a businessman, Du Chengen never lacks vision. With the continuous development of the economy, the demand for freight capacity in maritime trade is also increasing.

However, this demand is aimed at large freighters with large transportation volume and low unit operating costs, rather than their own small and medium-sized merchant ships that are about to be eliminated by the times.

If you don’t want to be squeezed to death by your peers, you can only keep up with the trend of the times and purchase more advanced merchant ships in order to gain an advantageous position in market competition.

As for witnessing history, let others do it. As a little man, he should not join in the fun.

Deep down, Du Chengen was actually a little surprised. He never dreamed that the Holy Roman Empire would actually launch a warship into a business.

It can only be said that there are always more solutions than difficulties. Although it is the world's number one economy, the budget of the Shenluo Navy is still insufficient.

In order to raise military expenses, the Admiralty also took great pains to sell viewing tickets, which is just one of them.

If you sell 10,000 ASUS, it will be 50,000 ASUS. Over time, even for the Navy, it is not a small number.

There is no guarantee that there is too much. It is still a problem to build another warship every year.

As for the issue of confidentiality, if you hold a telescope a few miles away, you can find the secrets contained in the warship, and the Shenluo Navy will not have to mess with it.

...

With the sound of guns, Franz, who rarely appears in public, appeared on the boat platform.

After all, the world's first dreadnought was launched. It is a big temptation for any military enthusiast, and Franz is no exception.
