Chapter 1314 The empire needs a divided India (Second update, please subscribe)
Negotiations Even among secret negotiations among several countries, there are also secret communications and secret transactions between countries.
This is one of the greatest features of secret diplomacy.
Of course Russia can seek support from Ming Dynasty, but France can also communicate privately with Austria.
After the successful experience of carving up Turkey last time, coupled with the current weakness of Britain, they all understand that the success of carving up the world this time is very high. Because of this, they will strive to make no concessions based on their reasons.
In the end, after much discussion, the canal area and the Sinai Peninsula were included in France's sphere of influence on the Suez Canal. As for the division of Sudan, the 13th degree north latitude was used as the dividing line, with Austria in the north and France in the south.
"...Ethiopia is divided by the 12th parallel north, and the northern region, including Italian Somalia, is included in France's sphere of influence. The rest of Ethiopia belongs to the Roman Empire."
"France supports this partition plan."
"Austro-Hungary supports this partition plan."
"Da Ming also supports this division plan..."
The plan for the partition of Africa was finally passed. They all got what each other wanted. Although Ming Dynasty, which had vast colonies in Africa, did not participate in the partition, but according to Ming Dynasty's suggestions, an independent country would emerge in South Africa and the Cape Town colony in the future.
.
Ming Dynasty really didn’t have much demand for Africa.
In fact, Africa is just an appetizer for the entire negotiation. Where is the real most critical region?
From Persia to British India, of course.
British India!
That is the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the British Empire.
Faced with such a temptation, who can refuse?
Because of this, when several parties came up, they were at each other's throats. Zhuge Jun was not surprised by the back-and-forth competition between France, Romania, and Olympic Games surrounding Persia and India. He was still the same as before.
Create an appearance of being indifferent to the world.
His performance may make people a little confused, but in fact, all this has been expected by Emperor Zhu Da.
Although Ming Dynasty did not want to be the leader, it did not mean to be a troublemaker like the British. As a troublemaker, the British method was to join the camp they did not like and cause destruction. It was always easier.
Especially for an expert in destruction like the British Empire.
But the Ming Dynasty is different. What does the Ming Dynasty need?
Of course it has to be promoted. Only by promoting an alliance can everyone join forces to "kill the British and eat meat".
If an alliance cannot be formed, I am afraid that we will not even be able to pass the stage of "surviving the British".
"India is a big country with a population of more than 200 million. No matter who occupies it, its national power will expand unprecedentedly. By then, India will not only become their cow, but will also provide it with soldiers, supplies, arms, etc. And this will also
It means that in the future, we will face an industrialized country with hundreds of millions of people in the future - don't think it is impossible. People who do not have long-term concerns must have immediate worries. If we want to avoid such an enemy, then we must ensure that
One thing – India must not be monopolized by one country!”
Listening to their bickering and unwilling arguments in the conference room, His Majesty's will once again appeared in Zhuge Jun's mind.
"So our task is to ensure the division of India!"
In fact, everyone, including Zhuge Jun, looked down upon India.
People in this era have a bad impression of India. For many people, India is just a colony. Indians can just pay some taxes. Can they rely on Indians to fight wars and military industry?
But what they didn't know was that the British Empire relied on the almost constant supply of manpower and material exchanges provided by India to defeat the second and third virtues.
Will India's man-made warships sink on their own while running?
Hard to say.
Will the rifles made by Indians explode? Of course it is impossible to say.
But Indians are definitely qualified as "imperial cannon fodder". The British Empire used "imperial cannon fodder" to waste a generation of young people from other countries!
Emperor Zhu Da would definitely not make the same mistake, so the task given to Zhuge Jun was very simple, which was to ask him to ensure the division of India.
Make sure you put this fat piece of meat in India on the dinner plate, and then everyone divides it up piece by piece. This is the way to go.
As for eating alone... Looking at Giles, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Empire, who was talking eloquently there, Zhuge Jun didn't even bother to listen to what he had to say.
If you can annex India, you can't imagine. Will France agree? Will Austria agree?
It’s the Ming Dynasty…
That's not something I would agree to.
This greedy polar bear is so greedy... He can actually dream of a country annexing the entire India.
No wonder the Russians are the most greedy for territory in the world. I am afraid that even if they call themselves the Roman Empire, they cannot change the Russian soul in their bones.
"...In future wars, the Roman Empire will invest more than millions of troops. The Roman army will march from Asia Minor to Persia and India. Where is your army?"
Giles stared at the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Foreign Minister Gustav and asked directly.
"Your Excellency, at that time, your army may still be in Sudan? How many troops can you invest in the Indian battlefield? In this world, there is never anything for nothing."
In fact, all Gilles had to do was ask loudly, "How many divisions do you have in Austria, and you actually want to reach out to India?"
However, Emil did not give him a chance, but said directly.
"Your Excellency, the French army will also attack Persia and India. Not only that, the French fleet will also fight the British Royal Navy in the Indian Ocean. Perhaps Rome has the largest army in the world, but please
Don’t forget one thing – the rule of the British Empire is based on the Royal Navy!”
As France's foreign minister, the emir was just short of directly slapping Rome in the face.
"Only by defeating the British Royal Navy can we truly win the war! And digest the fruits of victory, and..."
After a slight pause, Emil said again.
"What we need to face is not only the British Royal Navy, but also the American Navy. Your Excellency, can Rome leave other countries to fight against the British and American navies?"
"this……"
Gilles, who was still thinking triumphantly about "how many divisions Austria has", immediately became a little stuttered. He only saw that the Roman legions could fight all the way along Persia to the South Asian subcontinent and occupy the entire India, but he forgot
Let’s be clear – the Royal Navy of the British Empire was not a vegetarian.
Moreover, there is no railway from Asia Minor to India. Without railways, Rome must rely on sea transportation to transport war supplies. In other words, even if Rome chooses to attack on land, it still cannot do without the sea, and the sea...
That's British territory.
How many warships does Russia have?
There are many Russian warships, but they are definitely no match for the Royal Navy...
Perhaps the Roman Empire did not need the help of other countries on land, but it could not do without the support of its allies on the sea.
If you want to take it all to yourself...it's hard!
