The senior government officials can understand, was not equal to everyone can understand. 力量分散无法集中,在选举中失利很正常。政府高层可以理解,不等于所有人都能够理解。 From the outside, law Austria both countries competed in South America lost to the English again.

Takes action to enrage the contradiction rashly, this consequence is not we can undertake. ” 虽然没有礼貌,但也是正常外交行为。冒然采取行动激怒矛盾,这个后果不是我们能够承担的。” Without the problem, truly is the normal diplomatic activities. Although has not informed beforehand, is operating the warship, but the weak country does not have the diplomacy, the courtesy issue endured also on the past. 没有毛病,确实是正常外交活动。虽然事先没有通知,又是开着军舰来的,可弱国无外交,礼节性的问题忍忍也就过去了。 This truth, Rafael Nunez naturally also knows. Otherwise did not order the army to alert, but was orders the navy expel these unexpected visitors. 这个道理,拉斐尔・努涅斯自然也知道。要不然就不是下令陆军戒备,而是命令海军驱逐这些不速之客。 Depressed the anger forcefully, Rafael Nunez's discontented complaint: „Does normal diplomatic visit, inform one to be very difficult beforehand? Forces one's way in the diplomatic visit of harbor, this is really miracle in the diplomatic history!” 强行压下了怒火,拉斐尔・努涅斯不满的抱怨道:“正常的外交访问,事先通知一声很难么？强行闯入港口的外交访问,这真是外交史上的奇迹！” After pondering the moment time, foreign minister Francisco persuaded: „ Such miracle also has, Mr. President you should be familiar with. 沉思了片刻功夫后,外交部长弗兰西斯科劝说道:“这样的奇迹还有很多,总统阁下你应该习惯。 Now we were the incumbent parties, needs to be responsible for this country, coming across the issue cannot be so again radical, otherwise was very easy to have problems. ” 现在我们是执政党了,需要对这个国家负责,遇到问题不能再那么激进,不然很容易出问题的。” As a qualified politician, Rafael Nunez naturally knows that „should instigate must instigate”. As for „face”, could not look in any case, good that first put down. 作为一名合格的政客,拉斐尔・努涅斯自然知道“该怂就要怂”。至于“面子”,反正都找不回来了,还是先放下的好。 „You convinced me. That sends people to stare at them, once there is a sign of landing, acts instantly.” “你说服了我。那就派人盯着他们,一旦有登陆的迹象,就立即采取行动。” law Austria Combined Fleet is visits, naturally cannot bring the army to act together, landing that is not possible. Considering Rafael Nunez's self-respect, Francisco naturally cannot see through an affair. 法奥联合舰队是来访问的,自然不会带着陆军一起行动,登陆那是不可能的。考虑到拉斐尔・努涅斯的自尊心,弗兰西斯科自然不会拆穿。 „ This is the small issue, how the present key sent this group of evil guests. The operation goal of law Austria two countries is very clear, is wants us to guarantee that the trade with Peru is unimpeded. “这都是小问题,现在的关键是怎么打发了这群恶客。法奥两国的行动目的很明确,就是想要我们保证和秘鲁的贸易畅通。 But before then, we to win over the support of English, made to them pledged: So long as our election wins, closure with the trade pass of Peru. ” 可是在此之前,我们为了争取英国人的支持,向他们做出了承诺:只要我们大选获胜,就关闭和秘鲁的贸易通道。” This issue, Rafael Nunez before the election has considered, but underestimated the determination of law Austria two countries. 这个问题,在大选前拉斐尔・努涅斯就考虑过了,只不过低估了法奥两国的决心。 After hesitant moment time, Rafael Nunez helpless makes the decision: „Contacts with the English, this matter because of them, cannot the present no matter!” 犹豫了片刻功夫后,拉斐尔・努涅斯无奈的做出决定:“联系英国人吧,这件事是因他们而起的,总不能现在就不管吧！” Francisco starts to speak but hesitates, although he knows that this is „satisfying thirst by drinking poison”, but does not have the means. 弗兰西斯科欲言又止,尽管他知道这是“饮鸩止渴”,但是没有办法。 Does not introduce the English strength, offsets the political pressure from law Austria, by their strengths, cannot only withstand the impact. 不引入英国人力量,抵消来自法奥的政治压力,仅凭他们自己的力量,根本就经不起冲击。 ...... …… The South American issue, related to the UK , France Austria three countries relations, how was not overrated again prudently. 南美问题,涉及到了英法奥三国关系,再怎么慎重也不为过。 After receiving the requesting reinforcements telegram of Colombian government, Prime Minister Benjamin first held the cabinet meeting. 在接到哥伦比亚政府的求援电报后,本杰明首相第一时间召开了内阁会议。 Benjamin: „Was in attendance, that starts! Sir Edward, you first briefed the general situation.” 本杰明:“都到齐了,那就开始吧！爱德华爵士,你先介绍一下大致情况。” „Good, Prime minister.” “好的,首相。” Foreign minister Edward: „ To quickly end the South American war, with the efforts of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we won over Peruvian Bolivia Alliance that Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Ecuadorian four countries blocked the law Austria support. 外交大臣爱德华:“为了尽快结束南美战争,在外交部的努力下,我们先后拉拢了巴西、阿根廷、巴拉圭、厄瓜多尔四国封锁法奥支持的秘鲁玻利维亚联盟。 Only was left over Colombian this foreign trade channel, to cut off this trade line, we supported the pro-UK faction of Colombia to win the election some time ago. 就只剩下了哥伦比亚这一条对外贸易通道,为了切断这条贸易线,不久前我们支持哥伦比亚的亲英派赢得了大选。 Situation all are developing, law Austria both countries that are unwilling to be defeated to the good aspect, suddenly threw off the table. 局势一切都在向好的方面发展,不甘失败的法奥两国,突然掀翻了桌子。 Three days ago, law Austria both countries form Combined Fleet suddenly to go into the Barranquilla port, attempts to use the threat in force, forcing the Colombian government to submit. ” 三天前,法奥两国组成联合舰队突然闯入哥伦比亚共和国巴兰基亚港,企图利用武力威胁,逼迫哥伦比亚政府屈服。” It seems like the tone to be light, in fact Edward already filled with fury. 看似语气平淡,实际上爱德华早就满腔怒火。 Everyone displays the diplomatic means competition, they give full play, finally is selecting the fruits of victory the final moment, the enemy does not play suddenly. 大家施展外交手段竞争,正是他们大显身手的时候,结果在摘取胜利果实的最后关头,敌人突然不玩了。 This was awkward, the effort of Ministry of Foreign Affairs was abandoned all of a sudden most probably.

Although this is only a situation, Edward's mood relaxed much. 说完,带头鼓起了掌,众人纷纷效仿。尽管这只是一个形势,爱德华的心情还是舒缓了不少。 Although cannot the completely entire merit, select the biggest achievements, but can obtain everyone's approval, is a big harvest. 虽然没能尽全功,摘取最大的政绩,可是能够获得大家的认可,也是不小的收获。 „Thanks, this is the labor of duty of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs!” “谢谢,这是我们外交部的本职工作！” ...... …… Prime Minister Benjamin: „Matter has been clear, now needed us to make the decision. The Colombian government has requested reinforcements to us, hopes that we send the fleet to visit, share their political pressures.” 本杰明首相:“事情已经清楚了,现在需要我们做决定了。哥伦比亚政府已经向我们求援,希望我们派舰队出访,分担他们的政治压力。” Sends out the fleet not to have the issue, exchanged the pro- British government with great difficulty, the London government is naturally impossible to give up.
