Did the European turmoil, how possibly little result in Britain? law Austria contradiction had not been selected, the London government very disappointed. 欧洲局势混乱,怎么可能少得了英国呢?法矛盾没有被挑起来,伦敦政府非常的失望。 However Prime Minister John Russell did not worry, one has two. No matter the French have anything to give a pretext, extends the back garden that the hand Austria benefitted is the fact. 不过约翰-罗素首相并不担心,有一就有二。法国人不管是有什么借口,把手伸到了地利的后花园是事实。 The seed that both countries conflict has buried, British, this was enough. Instigated the law Austria relations, making them oppose and divert mutually, most served the British interests the option. 两国冲突的种子已经埋了下来,对英国人来说,这就足够了。挑拨法关系,让他们相互对立、牵制,就是最符合英国利益的选项。 If really made them hit, instead was not a good deed. Or any breaks the European balanced war, the London government does not want to see. 真要是让他们打了起来,反而不是一件好事。或者说任何打破欧洲平衡的战争,伦敦政府都不希望看到。 Especially soon will decline the time point that in Russian Empire, law Austria both countries erupts into the war, any won the victory, is continental Europe new hegemon. 尤其是在俄罗斯帝国即将衰落的时间点,法两国爆发战争,任何一家赢得胜利,都是欧洲大陆新的霸主 Any European hegemon, is the English biggest enemy, does not need any reason, the national policy of London government all along so. 任何一个欧洲霸主,都是英国人最大的敌人,不需要任何理由,伦敦政府的国策一贯如此。 Downing Street No. 10, foreign minister Raistlin smiles entered the conference room, can look at his mood very much to be good. 唐宁街十号,外交大臣雷斯林满脸笑容的走进了会议室,看得出来他的心情很不错。 John Russell said lightly: Was in attendance, then the conference starts. Does Sir Raistlin, what good news have?” 约翰-罗素平淡的说:“都到齐了,那么会议开始。雷斯林爵士,有什么好消息?” Reply that foreign minister Raistlin smiles: Just we received the message, the Tsar government intend the ignores Northern Europe three countries to be unified.” 外交大臣雷斯林笑眯眯的回答道:“刚刚我们收到消息,沙皇政府有意放任北欧三国统一。” This is the London government has wanted to do in recent years, matter that and has not made. The Northern European three countries are unified, to Russian Empire absolutely is not a good deed. 这是伦敦政府最近几年一直想做,而又没有做成的事情。北欧三国统一,对俄罗斯帝国来说绝对不是一件好事。 So long as outputs the big nation chauvinism to them, Northern European being doomed after unification stood in the opposite of Russia person, who made them have the magnificent history? 只要向他们输出大国主义,统一后的北欧注定站在了俄国人的对立面,谁让他们有辉煌的历史呢? Opens the history book to look, Finland and Baltic Sea area and other territories of big piece, once were their territories, now was occupied by the Russia person, living that the radicals also sat? 翻开历史书一看,芬兰、波罗地海地区等大片的领土,都曾经是他们的领土,现在被俄国人占据了,激进分子还坐的住么? Naturally, the Northern European three countries population are not many, must threaten Russian Empire also to fall far short, but diverts Russia person part of energy to achieve. 当然,北欧三国人口不多,要威胁到俄罗斯帝国还差得远,可是牵制俄国人一部分精力还是做得到的。 This is the English is also willing to support their reasons, Northern Europe develops in any case no matter how, will not affect the interests of Britain. 这也是英国人愿意扶持他们的原因,反正北欧不管怎么发展,都不会影响到不列颠的利益。 Normally, Russia person ignores Northern Europe will not be unified. Now does that means that the Russia person soon could not support, has to make the compromise concession. 正常情况下,俄国人是不会放任北欧统一的。现在这么做了,意味着俄国人快要支撑不住了,不得不做出妥协让步。 John Russell indefinite asking: Is it possible that does the Russia person want to win over Sweden and Norway to make war to Prussian, reduces the pressure in their battlefield?” 约翰-罗素不确定的问:“莫非俄国人想要拉拢瑞典、挪威向普鲁士人开战,减轻他们战场上的压力?” Foreign minister Raistlin replied: „ This is the most ideal condition, in fact the Tsar government should be clear, this situation is almost is impossible to happen. 外交大臣雷斯林回答道:“这是最理想的状态,实际上沙皇政府应该非常清楚,这种情况几乎是不可能发生。 The Berlin government has made the concession, pledged to withdraw from Jutland, the territorial claim to Denmark was only restricted in two German duchies. 柏林政府已经做出让步,承诺退出日德兰半岛,对丹麦的领土要求仅限于两个德意志公国。 To Sweden, this is enough. If two German state also merged, the right to speak of Denmark was too heavy, they are unable to obtain the leading power. 对瑞典来说,这已经足够了。如果两个德意志邦国也并入了进来,丹麦的话语权就太重了,他们将无法取得主导权。 The Tsar government wants to stand firm Sweden now, otherwise the northern border rocket begins, they really could not support. Can judge initially, the Russia person has been tired out from the press now. ” 沙皇政府现在只是想要稳住瑞典,不然北疆狼烟再起,他们真的就撑不住了。初步可以判断,俄国人现在已经在疲于奔命中。” The Russia person is tired out from the press, this is the biggest good news. After this wave, in the next several years, the Russia people are unable to cause the trouble to them. 俄国人疲于奔命,这才是最大的好消息。这一波过后,未来数十年内,俄国人都无法给他们制造麻烦了。 If the following plan is smooth, can perhaps take care of this threat once and for all. 如果后面的计划顺利,没准可以一劳永逸的解决这个威胁。 Prime Minister John Russell not slightly hesitant, made directly decided: „ Starts we biggest influence, strikes to the Russia person again fatally. 约翰-罗素首相没有丝毫犹豫,直接做出了决定:“发动我们最大的影响力,再给俄国人致命一击。 Increases the aid effort to Prussia, makes the Ottoman empire enter the war as soon as possible, the Far East area must start. 加大对普鲁士的援助力度,尽快让奥斯曼帝国参战,还有远东地区也要发动起来。 If can make Sweden hold a Russia person blade, the plan was perfect. ” 如果能够让瑞典捅俄国人一刀,计划就完美了。” Obviously, John Russell is not high to the anticipation value that Sweden enters the war. If the Russia person continues to oppose that the Northern European three countries merge, then the Swede holds a possibility of Russia person blade to be big. 显然,约翰-罗素对瑞典参战的期待值不高。如果俄国人继续反对北欧三国合并,那么瑞典人捅俄国人一刀的可能性非常大。 Now was almost impossible, the Swedish government must care about the feeling of Dane. Now Denmark and Russia person are the allies, their enemies are the Prussia kingdoms, this decided Sweden not possible to collaborate with Prussian. 现在几乎不可能了,瑞典政府必须要顾及丹麦人的感受。现在丹麦和俄国人是盟友,他们的敌人是普鲁士王国,这就决定了瑞典不可能和普鲁士人联手。 ...... …… Since has implemented two strong standards, the royal navy received the daunting challenge. At present our navy military expenses are serious, was unable to suppress law Austria both countries simultaneously. “自从实施两强标准以来,皇家海军受到了严峻的挑战。目前我们的海军军费严重不足,已经无法同时压制住法两国。 A short time ago the Paris government transferred 120 million francs naval construction funds, the concrete naval construction plan was not clear, obviously this was coming in view of our two strong standards. 前不久巴黎政府又划拨了1.2亿法郎的造舰经费,具体造舰计划还不清楚,显然这是针对我们两强标准来的。 Austria altruistic has not reacted, but according to the past convention, the Vienna government will refer to the 80-90% allocations of French naval construction funds. 地利人还没有做出反应,不过按照以往的惯例,维也纳政府会参照法国人造舰经费的80-90%拨款。 Our this year's naval construction budget, have used up. Must continue to keep the present advantage, must transfer 10 million pounds funds again. ” Minister of the navy Edward said 我们今年的造舰预算,已经用光了。要继续保持现在的优势,必须要再划拨一千万英镑经费。”海军大臣爱德华说道 10 million pounds of this age, are not 10 million pounds of later generation. The entire world year financial revenue, can over 10 million pounds national not over ten. 这个年代的一千万英镑,可不是后世的一千万英镑。全世界年财政收入,能够超过一千万英镑的国家都不超过十个。 Dares to want so many naval construction funds, besides the Royal Navy, should not have the second. 敢一口气要这么多造舰经费的,除了英国皇家海军外,应该不会有第二者了。 law Austria both countries truly take to obtain this sum of money, however these two are the land power countries, develops the navy at the same time must give dual attention to the army. 两国确实拿得出这笔钱,然而这两个都是陆权国家,发展海军的同时还必须要兼顾陆军。 If not the English is clamoring two strong standards, the Paris government will not increase the naval construction funds suddenly, detonates this arms race. 如果不是英国人叫嚣着两强标准,巴黎政府也不会突然增加造舰经费,引爆这次军备竞赛。 This age law Austria navy adds, the gross tons and royal navy is almost the same, the armored vessel number are more. 这个年代法海军加起来,总吨位和皇家海军相差无几,铁甲舰数量还更多一些。 Facing clamoring of English, making Napoleon III feel that received the insult, Franz of Vienna is unable to endure this provocation. 面对英国人的叫嚣,让拿破仑三世感觉受到了侮辱,就连维也纳的弗朗茨也无法忍受这种挑衅。 This is not only only their individual feeling, said that accurately is the common feeling of two countries people. 哦,这不仅仅只是他们个人的感受,更准确的说是两国民众的共同感受。 Everyone attaches great importance to face-saving, the folk radical group clamored must surpass the royal navy. Then is great, arms race! 大家都是要面子,民间的激进团体都叫嚣着要赶超皇家海军了。那么没得说,军备竞赛吧! Napoleon III needs to divert the attention of people, so as to avoid they are always staring at the broken matter of Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. 恰好,拿破仑三世需要转移民众们的视线,免得他们老是盯着两西西里王国的破事。 Napoleon III provokes the arms race, that also has the energy. Recently more than ten years of French economy stepped the speedway, last year financial revenue exceeded the English 18 million pounds.( Including the Sardinia kingdom) 拿破仑三世挑起军备竞赛,那也是有底气的。最近十几年法国经济踏上了快车道,去年的财政收入超过英国人一千八百万英镑。(含撒丁王国) Naturally, this is only the financial revenue of native place. If the colony, is the English is in addition more flamboyant, must know that light/only the financial revenue of India Gundam/reaches as high as 50 million pounds, the heroic spirit of English is obviously ordinary. 当然,这只是本土的财政收入。如果加上殖民地的话,还是英国人更牛逼,要知道光印度的财政收入就高达五千万英镑,英国人的豪气可见一般。 However Napoleon III did not instigate, he has not prepared to make French Navy unable to surpass the royal navy, so long as the law Austria two countries navies add, breaks two strong standards that the English clamored to be OK. 不过拿破仑三世不怂,他又没准备让法国海军超不过皇家海军,只要法两国海军加起来,打破英国人叫嚣的两强标准就可以了。 Spiteful back, but also related to international politics position. Once makes the royal navy two strong standards realize, the English in the overseas business won the absolute leading power. 赌气的背后,还涉及到了国际政治地位。一旦让皇家海军两强标准实现,在海外事务中英国人就获得了绝对的主导权。 Here law Austria both countries intolerable. French Navy is the world's second, the arrogance Paris People also petitioned daily, this person who takes the lead Napoleon III must work as. 这里法两国所不能容忍的。法国海军是世界第二,傲气的巴黎民众又天天请愿,这个出头鸟拿破仑三世必须要当。 First Lord of the Treasury Agarossi stared Edward one eyes ruthlessly, had greeted his family member at heart. 财政大臣阿加瓦尔狠狠的瞪了爱德华一眼,心里已经问候了一遍他的家属。 In his opinion, the naval department is typical does not know that the daily necessities are expensive. Two strong standards look very attractive, in fact this idles is being all right to look for the stimulation. 在他看来,海军部是典型的不当家不知道柴米油盐贵。“两强标准”看起来很诱人,实际上这就是闲着没事找刺激。 The financial resource of English are the world's are truly strongest, however law Austria both countries are not the weak ones, everyone's power gap is not disparate. 英国人的财力确实是世界上最强的,然而法两国也不是弱者,大家的实力差距并不悬殊。 Is same like two strong standards that the original space and time English clamored, similarly was challenged, even was more stern. 就如同原时空英国人叫嚣的两强标准一样,同样受到了挑战,甚至还更加严峻。 law Austria two countries any has the challenge royal navy hegemony potential, if do not develop the army, the sea hegemonist status of royal navy is not steady. 两国任何一家都有挑战皇家海军霸权的潜力,如果不是要发展陆军,皇家海军的海上霸权地位早就不稳了。 Agarossi complexion gloomy saying: „It is not good, this year's fiscal budget has determined, now suddenly increases 10 million pounds budget, Ministry of Finance not this sum of money. Wants the funds, you convinced Congress!” 阿加瓦尔脸色阴沉的说道:“不行,今年的财政预算早就确定了,现在突然增加一千万英镑的预算,财政部没有这笔钱。想要经费,你们自己去说服国会吧!” 10 million pounds truly many, but to the London government, in fact also came out. Obviously Agarossi does not prepare economically in everyday spending, raised funds for the navy. 一千万英镑确实很多,不过对伦敦政府来说,实际上挤挤也就出来了。显然阿加瓦尔是不准备省吃俭用,为海军筹款了。 Minister of the navy Edward said angrily: Royal navy related to the national destiny of Britain, if we cannot guarantee the absolute advantage, once made Austria both countries catch up, too late for regrets!” 海军大臣爱德华愤怒的说:“皇家海军关系到了不列颠的国运,如果我们不能保证绝对的优势,一旦让法两国赶了上来,就后悔莫及了!” Without so many reasons, the navy adopts two strong standards the main purpose is for the funds. The threat of law Austria Two countries Navies, is in fact also missing the long distance. 没有那么多理由,海军搞“两强标准”的主要目的就是为了经费。法两国海军的威胁,实际上还差着十万八千里。 Everyone is the colonial empire, the navy disperses in the all over the world mostly, each region was suppressed by the royal navy, where could discuss anything to threaten. 大家都是殖民帝国,海军大都分散在世界各地,各个区域都被皇家海军压制,哪里谈得上什么威胁。 Even the law Austria navy collaborates, in fact still mostly is not the opponent of royal navy. The issue of two countries navies' coordination with each other in battlefield, is unable to solve. In the situation of operating independently, is not the opponent of royal navy. 即便是法海军联手,实际上也多半不是皇家海军的对手。两国海军在战场上相互配合的问题,就无法解决。在各自为战的情况下,根本就不是皇家海军的对手。 First Lord of the Treasury Agarossi is not convinced saying: Therefore you look for Congress to ask for money! Now Ministry of Finance this budget, temporarily do not increase the large amount of budget, needing Congress authorize.” 财政大臣阿加瓦尔不买账道:“所以你们找国会要钱去啊!现在财政部没有这笔预算,要临时增加巨额预算,必须要国会批准。” Without the support of cabinet, only may not have is so easy to convince Congress depending on the naval department. Even if they educate with reason and appeal, waits to convince congressional that group of Sir to agree, the warship that the French makes has served. 没有内阁的支持,仅凭海军部可没有那么容易说服国会。就算是他们晓之以理、动之以情,等说服国会那帮大爷们同意,法国人建造的军舰早就服役了。 Edward just prepared to argue, gave up to stop by prime minister John Russell. Competing for funds this is the common matter, basically every year Ministry of Finance must with each department to just one time. 爱德华刚准备辩解,就被首相约翰-罗素罢手制止了。争夺经费这是常有的事情,基本上每年财政部都要和各个部门对刚一次。 Agarossi's behavior not wrong, is acting according to the regulations to handle matters completely. The naval department temporarily increases the budget, certainly must go to Congress to walk one time. Ministry of Finance is not willing to raise one's head to Congress wants the funds, is in line with the regulations. 阿加瓦尔的行为并没有错,完全在按规定办事。海军部临时增加预算,肯定要去国会走一遭。财政部不愿意出头向国会要经费,也是符合规定的。 Increases the naval construction funds the issue, submits the bill by the naval department to Congress, the time will decide next Monday, we will support the proposal. “增加造舰经费的问题,就由海军部向国会提交议案,时间就定在下周一,我们会支持提案。 Sir Edward, the naval department must be fully prepared, receives interpellation of the parliament members, has the issue? ” John Russell said 爱德华爵士,海军部必须要做好充分的准备,接受国会议员们的质询,有问题么?”约翰-罗素说道 This is the necessary flow, so long as Congress agrees to increase the budget, then Ministry of Finance or the loan, or the issue debentures, or are the additional tax, can always solve the funds problem. 这是必要的流程,只要国会同意增加预算,那么财政部或是贷款、或是发行债券、又或者是加税,总是能够解决经费问题的。 The arms race just started, the London government has not felt the pressure. By the later period, they so will not be relaxed. 军备竞赛才刚刚开始,伦敦政府还没有感受到压力。到了后期,他们就不会这么轻松了。 Minister of the navy Edward replied: No!” 海军大臣爱德华回答道:“没有!” ...... ……
