By the winter of 1869, flame of war are flying world all of a sudden peaceful. The major colonial empires to shift the domestic economy crisis, the initiated aggressive war ended in this season. 到了1869年冬,战火纷飞的世界一下子太平了起来。各大殖民帝国为了转移国内经济危机,发起的侵略战争都在这个季节结束了。 The power gap of belligerent parties is disparate, in front of the thermal weapon, the blood brave air/Qi is not worth mentioning. 交战各方的实力差距悬殊,在热武器面前,血勇之气更根本就不值得一提。 If not everyone holds back mutually, the time that the war ended will be earlier. The post-war African continent pattern, became obviously. 如果不是大家互相扯后腿,战争结束的时间还会更早。战后的非洲大陆格局,变得更加明显。 France occupied Egypt, solved Algeria, carved up Tunisia with the English ; Austria benefitted also achieved the given objective, occupied Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and other areas. 法国占据了埃及,解决了阿尔及利亚,和英国人一起瓜分了突尼斯;地利也完成了既定目标,占据了博茨瓦纳、肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚等地区。 Without a doubt, the English in this round of competition is at a disadvantage. Although John Bull defeated Ethiopia, but also got rid of Austria many second, still cannot change them to compete for in the African continent the disadvantage. 毫无疑问,在这一轮竞争中英国人处于了下风。尽管约翰牛打败了埃塞俄比亚,还干掉了尔多二世,依然改变不了他们在非洲大陆争夺中的劣势。 Killed indigenous Emperor, was not equal to that the English occupied Ethiopia, the nominal rule cannot achieve continually. 干掉了一个土著皇帝,并不等于英国人就占领了埃塞俄比亚,连名义上的统治都做不到。 Did not have Ethiopia of central government to become is split up, had a headache facing the warlord English extremely. 没有了中央政府的埃萨俄比亚变得四分五裂,面对一个个军阀英国人也头疼万分。 Has the dauntless internationalist person of integrity, is supporting secretly Ethiopia and they fights, this two-year war English also paid the deeply grieved price. 有大无畏的国际主义志士,在暗中支持埃塞俄比亚和他们战斗,这场历时两年的战争英国人也付出了惨痛的代价。 From all sides altogether invests the total military strength 136,000, only the personnel lost surpassed 5000, about 3000 people stayed in the African continent permanently, the military expenses expenses were astronomical figures. 前前后后共投入总兵力13.6万,仅人员损失就超过了五千,其中有近三千人永久留在了非洲大陆,军费开销更是一笔天文数字。 This personnel casualty, but the Caucasian soldier of statistics loses, the servant does not join the army valuable, their casualties naturally in not counting range. 这个人员伤亡,只是统计的白人士兵损失,仆从军不值钱,他们的伤亡自然不在统计范围内。 No matter how said, won finally, face time of Great Britain has not lost. 不管怎么说,总算是打赢了,大英帝国的面子这次没有丢。 The absolute disparity in strength, is not easy to make up. How even law Austria helps again, Ethiopia still caused a little trouble to the English. 实力上的绝对差距,不是那么容易弥补的。即便是法再怎么帮忙,埃塞俄比亚也只是给英国人制造了一点儿麻烦。 Anti- British Emperor Austria many second, the remaining that group of warlords, Franz has not counted on. Perhaps in the method of English, how long them could not want to erupt the civil war. 没有抗英皇帝尔多二世,剩下的那帮军阀,弗朗茨也不指望了。以英国人的手段,要不了多久他们恐怕就要爆发内战。 This is not too bad, the English is unable to plunder huge wealth from Ethiopia at least in a short time. 这也不算太坏,至少在短期内英国人无法从埃塞俄比亚掠夺大量的财富。 Strategically, the English increased the influence in Gulf of Aden, the price of what a pity paying was too big a little, it is estimated that the anti-war faction power of London government expanded several points. 在战略上,英国人是增加了在亚丁湾的影响力,可惜付出的代价太大了一点儿,估计伦敦政府的反战派力量又壮大了几分。 According to the current African continent pattern, Austria benefits the situation has become, was in the absolute dominant position. The colony total area exceeds 13 million square kilometers, is the less than half African continent. 按照目前的非洲大陆格局,地利大势已成,占据了绝对的主导地位。殖民地总面积超过一千三百万平方公里,已经是小半个非洲大陆。 If only the occupying land area is also easy to do, everyone can find the opportunity to snatch again. The issue is on this lands, but also is living 8 million white settlers. 如果只是占地也好办,大家可以再找机会抢。问题是这片土地上,还生活着八百万白人移民。 The colony of various countries has a common feature, that is everyone holds a gun, so long as can resist the spear/gun can turn into the soldier. 各国的殖民地都有一个共同的特点,那就是人人持枪,只要抗得动枪的都可以变成战士。 If this hit, finally who snatched whose, but also really did not say certainly. Only if UK , France can invest over a million armies to enter the African continent, has the opportunity of achievement. 这要是打起来了,最后谁抢谁的,还真的说不准。除非英法能够投入上百万大军进入非洲大陆,才有获胜的机会。 Obviously this is not possible, the French does not dare to throw the African continent to come up the principal force, otherwise native place on danger. 显然这是不可能的,法国人根本就不敢把主力部队扔到非洲大陆上去,不然老家就危险了。 As for the English, do not say 1 million armies, even the expansion of armaments 3.5 million, the land navy must first do. 至于英国人,不要说百万陆军,就算是扩军三五十万,陆海军就要先干起来了。 The royal navy will not make the army snatch the resources, to them, this is Austria adds to want the fearful disaster. 皇家海军可不会让陆军抢资源,对他们来说,这是比法加起来都要可怕的灾难。 The Austria advantage has not continued to expand in the African continent, the primary cause ate to support, needs to digest the war fruit. 地利没有在非洲大陆上继续扩张,主要原因还是吃撑着了,需要消化战争果实。 On the land of this length and breadth also has many hidden dangers, threatens rule that Austria is benefitting, eliminating the place is the urgent matter. 这广袤的土地上还有很多隐患,威胁着地利的统治,肃清地方才是当务之急。 If cannot let the colony social stability, how also to create the wealth? Could not create the colony of wealth, that bore. 如果不能让殖民地社会稳定,又怎么创造财富?创造不了财富的殖民地,那就是负担。 These round carves up in the activity, the French displays is also very good, after following closely Austria to benefit . 这一轮瓜分活动中,法国人表现的也很不错,紧随地利之后。 If the French can achieve the given objective, their colony area, will break through 10 million square kilometers. 如果法国人能够完成既定目标,他们的殖民地面积,也会突破一千万平方公里。 Obviously, the European strategy diverted the French lots of energy, colonizes to expand in Africa somewhat lacks the ability to do what one would like, otherwise Tunisia will not divide English half. 显然,欧洲战略牵制了法国人大量的精力,在非洲殖民扩张中有些力不从心,不然突尼斯也不会分英国人一半。 Now their actual control region , the half in plan. Regardless of the inland area for the time being, Austria benefits also has many areas actually not to control. 现在他们的实际控制区域,还不到计划中的一半。内陆地区姑且不论,地利同样有很多地区没有实际控制。 For example: Morocco gathered the sphere of influence of UK , France and Spain, how expel UK and Spain, is a difficult problem. 比如说:摩洛哥就汇聚了英法西三国的势力范围,怎么把英西两国驱逐出去,就是一个难题。 No matter how said, in name the French sphere of influence is big, was turned into the protectorate including Sultan by Napoleon III. 不管怎么说,名义上法国人势力范围还是不小的,包括苏丹都被拿破仑三世变成了保护国。 Naturally, this is only the Paris government unilaterally announced that has not obtained the international community to acknowledge. The English declared signed the treaty similarly with Sultan, poses as the suzerain directly. 当然,这只是巴黎政府单方面宣布的,并没有获得国际社会承认。英国人同样宣称和苏丹签订了条约,直接以宗主国自居。 Under these documents, basically are the colonizer flicker sign, even may also be forge. The big powers moral integrity do not consider, colonizing always by the military force, having the treaty is immaterial. 这些文件,基本上都是殖民者忽悠下签的,甚至还有可能是伪造的。列强的节操不要考虑,殖民从来都是靠武力,有没有条约都无关紧要。 This empty in gaudy acrobatics, but to mount, making own table manners more attractive, itself does not have many legal effects. 这种虚里花哨的把戏,只是为了自我装裱,让自己的吃相好看一些,本身就没有多少法律效力。 Obviously the Sultan area has become the focus that UK , France compete. 显然苏丹地区已经成为了英法争夺的焦点。 The French want Sultan and Egypt link up into a single stretch, best also be able to occupy Ethiopia and Somalia, obtains to colonize the leading power of East Africa. 法国人想要把苏丹和埃及连成一片,最好还可以占领埃塞俄比亚和索马里,获得殖民东非的主导权。 The English compete for the Sultan area, is also hitting the attention of Egypt, the Suez Canal makes them drool with envy. 英国人争夺苏丹地区,同时也在打埃及的注意,苏伊士运河更让他们垂涎欲滴。 In brief, Sultan area to UK , France very important. Fell into a native of France hand, the English may be very squeezed out East Africa, can only defend against a siege South African place. 总之,苏丹地区对英法非常的重要。落入了法国人手中,英国人很可能被挤出东非地区,只能困守南非一地。 Fell into a native of Britain hand, then occupies the southeastern two corner/horn English, not only reverses the disadvantageous strategy in African continent, the possibility further captures the Suez Canal, regains the dominant position of Mediterranean Sea. 落入了英国人手中,那么占据东南两角的英国人,不但扭转在非洲大陆上的不利战略,还有可能更进一步夺取苏伊士运河,重新获得地中海的主导地位。 This is an open intrigue, so long as Austria benefits does not put out a hand randomly, UK and France will have the conflict regarding the Sultan area are sooner or later matter. 这是一个阳谋,只要地利不乱伸手,英法两国围绕着苏丹地区发生冲突是早晚的事情。 The African continent was metastable, the Mexican civil war also fell into the underestimate period. After contracting the putting down a rebellion duty, French armed forces defeated the rebel army rapidly. 非洲大陆暂时稳定了,墨西哥内战也陷入了低估期。承包了平叛任务后,法军迅速就击败了叛军。 The motley crew are the motley crew, without the government forces adds to the chaos, French armed forces erupted his real strength, was not the rebel army can compare. 乌合之众就是乌合之众,没有墨西哥政府军添乱,法军爆发出了自身的真实实力,根本就不是叛军能够比的。 The French told the world with practical action, the unfavorable situation in previous Mexican war merely is only an exception, they on still entire world most powerful army. 法国人用实际行动告诉了世界,上一次墨西哥战争中的失利仅仅只是一次例外,他们依然上全世界最强大的陆军。 The rebel army has not naturally exterminated cleanly, Mexico is not the small place, the rebel army, so long as looks for a place conceals casually, the French was helpless. 叛军自然没有剿灭干净,墨西哥又不是什么小地方,叛军只要随便找个地方一藏,法国人就无能为力了。 The rule of Maximiliano first not, because the rebel army caused heavy losses, but stabilizes, instead because of the continuous social reform, becomes creakies. 马西米连诺一世的统治并没有因为叛军被重创而稳定下来,反而因为接连不断的社会改革,变得摇摇欲坠。 Dreaded perhaps the response of law Austria two countries, Mexico's real power factions had launched the coup d'etat, exchanged the little crown prince to make the rubber chapter. 要不是忌惮法两国的反应,恐怕墨西哥的实力派早就发动了政变,换上小皇储做了橡皮章。 In the surface stabilized, the undercurrent has actually been surging. Now only misses a sparks/Mars, can detonate. 表面上是稳定了下来,暗流却一直在涌动中。现在只差一个火星,就可以引爆了。 ...... …… A wave just put down, another arises. 一波刚平,一波又起。 In 1860, east Transvaal province Republic several black person United Arab Emirates discovered the large quantities of gold. In 1867, people discovered the first diamond in Austria orchid Zhi river bank Hopetoun. 1860年,德兰士瓦共和国东面的几个黑人酋长国发现了大量黄金。1867年,人们又在兰治河畔的霍普敦发现了第一颗钻石。 To controlling the English in South African area, the Transvaal province and Austria Rinji two Boers Republic are not the poor skirt silk, but is fat. 对控制南非地区的英国人来说,德兰士瓦和伦治两个布尔人共和国已经不是穷屌丝,而是一块肥肉。 This is not most essential, a bigger reason was the Austria altruistic tentacle also extended. 这还不是最关键的,更大的原因是地利人的触手也伸了过去。 The Boers are the hybrid nationalities of Dutch, natives of Germany as well as some French, benefits to of the same clan, common origin Austria naturally does not repel. 布尔人本来就是荷兰人、德意志人以及部分法国人的混血民族,对同宗、同源的地利自然不排斥。 The small country needs to hold the thigh, everyone quickly turned into the good friend. The Zulus acted as the both sides friendship bridge, in some time ago African tangled warfare, both sides took care of this threat jointly. 小国是需要抱大腿的,大家很快就变成了好朋友。祖鲁人充当了双方友谊的桥梁,在不久前的非洲混战中,双方联手解决掉了这个威胁。 British, the Boers reverse to Austria to benefit mean that the crisis approaches. Benefits by Austria in the advantage of African continent, must assimilate the common origin, but Boers, looks does not have many difficulties. 对英国人来说,布尔人倒向地利就意味着危机临近。以地利在非洲大陆的优势,要同化同源而出的布尔人,看上去就没有多少难度。 If not the new Holy Roman empire cannot accommodate the Republic, perhaps both sides on have merged now. Even so, in the Boers supports to join the person of Holy Roman colonial system is also not infrequent. 如果不是新神罗帝国容不下共和国,没准现在双方就已经合并了。即便是如此,布尔人中支持加入神罗殖民体系的人也不在少数。 This keeps the English who is full of the crisis awareness from enduring, how they have not forgotten to be expelled continental Europe in the past, is not naturally willing to see to happen at the matter of continental Europe, repeats in South Africa. 这让充满危机意识的英国人无法忍受,他们可没有忘记当年是怎么被赶出欧洲大陆的,自然不愿意看到发生在欧洲大陆的事情,在南非重演。 Although the Suez Canal clears, the strategic value of Cape Town drops, here was still the strategic location. 尽管苏伊士运河开通,开普敦的战略价值有所下降,这里仍然是兵家必争之地。 This makes Governor Delve have a headache, since he wields the South African area, do not say that the expansion, sphere of influence was being compressed unceasingly. 这让德尔福总督非常头疼,自从他执掌南非地区后,不要说对外扩张了,本身的势力范围都在不断受到压缩。 Facing threatening Austria altruistic, they can defend the present sphere of influence, that is the sign of Great Britain covers. 面对来势汹汹的地利人,他们能够守住现在的势力范围,那都是大英帝国的牌子罩得住。 As for expansion? Exploring party that sends, was did not have the movie news, occasionally escaped several people, aimed at the black person indigenous. 至于扩张?派出去的探险队,一个个都是了无影讯,偶尔逃回来几个人,都指向了黑人土著。 Which indigenous tribe has the strength, has step that the strength blocks them to go forward? This situation has continued many years, several years ago they also organized 3000 people of army expeditions, attempts to break this aspect. 哪个土著部落这么有力量,有实力挡住他们前进的步伐?这种情况已经持续了很多年,几年前他们还组织了一支三千人的部队远征,企图打破这种局面。 Then, shortly after the army that this was placed the great expectations, just embarked, was under massive indigenous blockades. 然后,这支被寄予厚望的部队,刚刚出发不久,就遭到了大量的土著阻击。 A their Highway God keeps off the deicide and demon to keep off to kill the demon, hitting indigenous is the crying father shouts mother. Incautiously plays too, walked far a little, shut off the escape route. 他们一路神挡杀神、魔挡杀魔,打得土著是哭爹喊娘。一不小心玩儿的太嗨,走的远了一点儿,就被人切断了后路。 Has not been annihilated, is not far from that situation. In the following year, over 1.5 million indigenous moved the way to their colony. 没有全军覆没,距离那个地步也不远了。接下来的一年内,有超过一百五十万土著迁途到了他们的殖民地。 Person many strengths are big right, but the person must eat meal. Black person tribe that these were driven away, the first matter of coming contends for the domain. 人多力量大没错,可是人也是要吃饭的。这些被驱赶过来的黑人部落,过来的第一件事就是抢地盘。 Except that the city still controls in the English China-foreign, the countryside messed up. Once the tax collectors of English do not dare to go out of town, lots of immigrants fled from South Africa whole family. 除了城市还在英国人掌控中外,乡下都乱套了。一度英国人的税务官都不敢出城,大量移民举家逃离南非。 The situation of deterioration, making the predecessor therefore shoulder the responsibility, retires early to go home to care for the aged. Governor Delve depends to introduce the slave merchant, solved over -populated problems. 恶化的局势,让前任因此承担责任,提前退休回家养老。德尔福总督还是靠引进奴隶商人,解决了人口过剩的问题。 In these matters, the main reason is the Boolean Republic the action that coordinated Austria to benefit, indigenous put these directly, otherwise Austria benefitted could not have achieved this step. 发生这些事,最主要的原因就是布尔共和国配合了地利的行动,直接把这些土著放了过来,不然地利还做不到这一步。 Delve to the government had proposed repeatedly must interfere with the expansion action that Austria benefits, however does not have any function. It is not the London government does not want to interfere, the issue is they do not have the strength to interfere. 德尔福已经多次向政府提出要干涉地利的扩张行动,然而没有任何作用。不是伦敦政府不想干涉,问题是他们没有实力干涉。 In recent years, the hegemon position of navy, had been under the impact of law Austria two countries. The armored vessel quantity of France has approached their 3/4, the warship number that Austria benefits also Gundam/reaches as high as 65% of English. 最近几年,海军的霸主地位,已经受到了法两国的冲击。法国的铁甲舰数量已经逼近他们的四分之三,地利的主力舰数量也高达英国人的百分之六十五。 Two strong standards, do not have long known that which corner threw is covered with dust to. The reality told the English, no money do not install to compel randomly. 两强标准,早就不知道扔到哪个角落里吃灰了。现实告诉了英国人,没钱就不要乱装逼。 Naturally in the gross tons, the English realized two strong standards reluctantly, after all now no one and their PK sail battleship number. 当然在总吨位上,英国人还是勉强实现了两强标准,毕竟现在没有人和他们PK风帆战舰数量。 Looks the information that collects, Governor Delve felt oneself should make anything, otherwise Great Britain's rule in South Africa will be difficult in the future. 看着搜集到的情报,德尔福总督觉得自己应该做点儿什么,不然未来大英帝国在南非的统治就难了。 If some people found that the above content, will not think Delve is making a fuss over a trifling matter. Impressively is the recent more than ten years, the immigrant materials of two Boolean Republic. 如果有人发现上面的内容,就不会觉得德尔福在小题大做了。赫然是最近十几年,两个布尔共和国的外来移民资料。 And especially important is the German regional immigration, 80,000, surpass 80% of total immigration quantity. 其中尤为重要的就是德意志地区移民,足足有八万之多,超过总移民数量的百分之八十。 Boolean Republic how many people? According to this speed gets down, becoming the Germany country will be sooner or later matter. Two Boers Republic reverse to Austria to benefit is not strange, the ballot makes the government probably Pro-Austria. 布尔共和国才多少人?按照这个速度下去,变成德裔国家是早晚的事情。两个布尔人共和国倒向地利也就不奇怪了,选票让政府必须亲奥
