The monetary standard reforms, is not something new. The gold standard is also in the recent 350 years, was accepted by various European countries. 货币本位改革,不是什么新鲜事儿。金本位也是最近三五十年里,才被欧洲各国接受的。 The midway had also once had the accident, to avoid the gold flows out massively, various countries have basically introduced the restriction policy during the reform. 中途也曾发生过变故,为了避免黄金大规模流出,各国在改革期间基本上都出台过限制政策。 Most typical is the monetary control bill of Vienna government, clearly stipulates directly: Limits the large capital to flow out. 最具代表性的就是维也纳政府的金融管制法案,直接明文规定:限制大额资本流出。 This is also one of the financial capitalist repugnant Holy Roman reasons, the large circulation of capital was limited, is unable to achieve to enter to be quick quickly, speed that serious influence everyone to make money. 这也是金融资本家讨厌神罗的原因之一,大额资本流通受到限制,无法做到快进快出,严重影响了大家赚钱的速度。 Pre-war Britain is financial hegemon, since long is the overcapitalizations, naturally does not need to limit the capital to flow out. 战前不列颠是金融霸主,长期以来都是资本过剩,自然不需要限制资本流出。 Now the situation was different. With the unceasing deterioration of situation, the political smell keen capitalist, has prepared to travel. 现在情况不一样了。伴随着局势的不断恶化,政治嗅觉灵敏的资本家,已经准备跑路了。 The discerning people know, once the ocean alliance collapses, even if Britain can move out, still there is no in the future. 明眼人都知道,一旦大洋联盟崩溃,不列颠就算是能够全身而退,也没有任何未来可言。 Looking into the distance, everywhere is the enemies, what will discuss the development trend? 放眼望去,遍地都是敌人,何谈未来发展？ The capitalists can abscond to travel, his those with vested interests may be unable to be inescapable. Left Britain, the capitalist can also be the capitalist, the aristocrat and bureaucrat may anything not have. 资本家可以卷款跑路,其既得利益者可跑不了。离开了不列颠,资本家还可以是资本家,贵族、官僚可就啥也没了。 Although the strength of capital is strong, but Great Britain of this year, but also is not one's turn them to hoodwink the public. 资本的力量虽然强大,但这年头的大英帝国,还轮不到他们一手遮天。 Shares joys, has difficultly also with working as. The capitalists want to leave from the vortex, other influences naturally cannot comply. 有福同享,有难也得同当。资本家想要从漩涡中抽身,其它势力自然不会答应。 Must die is also everyone dies together, cannot everyone in the battlefield like mad, whatever the capitalist holds the knife in the back. 要死也是大家一起死,不能大家都在战场上拼死拼活,就任由资本家在背后捅刀子。 „Monetary standard reform”, is the countermeasure that everyone takes. Once the capitalist pulls out to the fund massively, that lets the pound and gold separates thoroughly. “本位制度改革”,就是大家拿出来的反制措施。一旦资本家大规模抽离资金,那就让英镑和黄金彻底脱钩。 Like the European war end , the French government does is the same. While giving up gold standard, but also stopped a franc freedom exchanging the gold. 就如同欧陆战争末期,法国政府干得一样。在放弃金本位的同时,还停止了法郎自由兑换黄金。 In the gold standard time, is unable the free remittance currency is not valuable, the international capital market did not acknowledge, with is the scrap paper. 在金本位时代,无法自由汇兑的货币不值钱,国际资本市场不承认,拿出去就是废纸。 Does not have the reserve to limit, to raise fund, the French government unscrupulous seal bill, the inflation sweeps across the nation rapidly. 没有储备金限制,为了筹集资金,法国政府肆无忌惮的印钞票,通胀迅速席卷全国。 In order to let the wealth maintains the value, has lots of franc capitalists, has to purchase the asset. 为了让财富保值,持有大量法郎的资本家,不得不购买资产。 After disaster, has the capitalists of large asset, was successfully locked in the French vitality damages severely. In which individual unlucky eggs, but also was treated as the war to violate places on trial. 战争失败后,持有大量资产的资本家,成功被套牢在法兰西元气大伤。其中的个别倒霉蛋,还被当做战争犯进行审判。 Was inferior economically the aristocrat, got the winning side in the later struggle gradually, returned the aristocrat and bureaucrat years. 原本在经济上处于劣势地位的贵族,在之后的斗争中渐渐占据了上风,重新回到了贵族、官僚时代。 The ready-made example there swayed, the British government must naturally take to frighten the domestic capitalist. 现成的例子在那里摆着,英国政府自然要拿出来吓唬国内的资本家。 Travels not to have the issue, absconding is not possible. Either buys the national debt, is this war transfuses blood ; Either throws off the table, after doing collapses the market, everyone to be finished together. 跑路没有问题,卷款是不可能的。要么掏钱买国债,为这场战争输血;要么就掀翻桌子,搞崩市场后大家一起完蛋。 Right, exactly did not say that was only the big capitalist and financial group must be finished. Other interest groups, only will lose seriously, not necessarily is fatal. 不对,确切的说只是大资本家、财团要完蛋。其它利益集团,只会损失惨重,并不一定致命。 If some people pay attention, will discover a period of time, Britain the communication of big aristocrat's with European relatives, became frequent. 如果有人留心的话,就会发现最近一段时间,不列颠的大贵族同欧洲亲戚间的通信,变得频繁了起来。 Actually is the normal contact between relatives, is finding the person to pull the bridge to make the contacts, the preparation escape route, this was very difficult to say. 究竟是亲戚间的正常交往,还是在找人牵桥搭线、准备后路,这就很难说了。 After all, Holy Roman Empire is the supreme headquarters of conservative, in maintenance fine tradition, is very stubborn. 毕竟,神圣罗马帝国是保守势力的大本营,在维护优良传统方面,可是非常顽固的。 Had a look at the post-war France to know, except for aristocrat who several did not keep eyes open, was sent to outside the court martial, remaining let off gently. 看看战后法兰西就知道了,除了几个不长眼的贵族,被送上了军事法庭外,剩下的都被轻轻放过了。 Has like this ready-made case, everyone displays positive is not strange. After all, the ship must sink, the person on ship must find the way to seek livehood. 有这样的现成案例在,大家表现的积极一点儿也就不奇怪了。毕竟,船要沉了,船上的人总得想办法求生。 The concrete manifestation is: British Isles advocated that the negotiations the call surges wave upon wave, the increasing number of people requested the London government to end the war. 具体表现就是:英伦三岛主张谈判的呼声一浪高过一浪,越来越多的人要求伦敦政府结束战争。 How as to end the war, that is the matter of government, in any case now „anti-war” right. 至于怎么结束战争,那是政府的事情,反正现在“反战”准没错。 ...... …… Buckingham Palace, the heart hair Yiluan Edward VII, is taking one to be rubbed one group, again opened encryption telegram. 白金汉宫,心毛意乱的爱德华七世,正拿着一份被揉成一团,又被重新打开的加密电报。 Compares the telegram the content, electricity generation address that needs to keep secret- Vienna palace. 相比电报的内容,更加需要保密的还是发电地址-维也纳宫。 As the two big imperial families of European monarchy world, the elder brother family and Habsburg family naturally has to marry, and also not only one time. 作为欧洲君主世界的两大皇室,哥达家族和哈布斯堡家族自然是有联姻的,并且还不只一次。 The doubly-related parents-in-law of Franz and Edward VII or name brand.

Three points that just like in the telegram request: 现在不列颠想要停战谈判,条件不可能不苛刻。正如电报上要求的三点: First, turns over to the complete colony ; 一、移交全部殖民地; Second, the Irish independence, the Scotland independence and Wales are independent ; 二、爱尔兰独立、苏格兰独立、威尔士独立; Third, various compensation mainland alliance belligerent countries lose. 三、赔偿大陆联盟各参战国损失。 Except that the third compensation for economic losses, does not have the specific digit, beyond leeway that discussed that front two were the firm decisions. Satisfied discussed, could not satisfy the negotiations not to need. 除了第三条赔偿损失,没有具体数字,还有商量的余地外,前面两条都是硬性规定。满足了就谈,满足不了谈判都没必要。 Such condition, Edward VII, if dares to comply, could not want three days of Buckingham Palace to change the master. 这样的条件,爱德华七世要是敢答应,要不了三天白金汉宫就要换主人。 Although knows that the result is not ideal, near George cannot bear ask: „Did father, how in the telegram say?” 尽管知道结局不理想,近前的乔治还是忍不住问道:“父亲,电报上怎么说？” „Oneself look!” “自己看吧！” Edward VII is saying, while handed over the telegram.

The transposition locates, I will also do. ” 现在世界各国又纷纷加入大陆联盟,敌人的实力就如同滚雪球般不断壮大。易位而处,我也会这么干。” The calmness is the biggest merit of Edward VII, even the situation is so disadvantageous, can still the rational idea, not blame god and man. 冷静是爱德华七世的最大优点,即便是局势如此不利,仍然能够理性思考,没有怨天尤人。 George: „But we......” 乔治:“可是我们……” „ Not, but!

Without India, Great Britain also had „empire”? 想想印度殖民军vs欧陆联军,那个场面是怎一个凄惨。要是没有了印度,大英帝国还有“帝国”么？ What is placed in front of the British government is: Wants India, wants „native place”. Without a doubt, this delivers the proposition together. 摆在英国政府面前的是:要“印度”,还是要“本土”。毫无疑问,这就是一道送命题。 Does not wait for the British government to make the choice, still in scruple ocean alliance various countries, made decision instantaneously- disembarks, spares nothing also to disembark. 不等英国政府做出选择,原本还在迟疑的大洋联盟各国,瞬间做出了决定-下船,不惜一切代价也要下船。 Even if did not have Japan and Republic of reaching an agreement condition, makes cutting with the English immediately, hoping to desalinate oneself as far as possible with mainland alliance's hostile fact. 纵使还没有谈好条件的日本、合众国,也在第一时间同英国人做切割,以期尽可能淡化自己同大陆联盟敌对的事实。 Everyone changed job, John Bull of loner, naturally could not hit. If not in also a little qualification while oneself hand time negotiated, drags behind...... 大家都跳槽了,孤家寡人的约翰牛,自然也打不下去了。要是不趁自己手中还有点儿本钱的时候谈判,拖到后面……
