Tokyo, after receiving the Austria advantage meddles the news of Philippine business, before Emperor Meiji at the same night held the governing, conference. 东京,收到奥地利插手菲律宾事务的消息后,明治天皇连夜召开了御前会议。 Without the means that this is the top big powers deterrent force. Just like this time overwhelming majority average people, Emperor Meiji also contracts to fear „foreign” sickness. 没办法,这就是顶尖列强的威慑力。和这个时代绝大部分普通人一样,明治天皇同样患有恐“洋”症。 Only challenges Spain, Emperor Meiji very disturbed, comes Austria to benefit again, the day has really had no way. 光挑战西班牙,明治天皇就非常的忐忑,再来一个奥地利,日子就真的没法过了。 Do not look this going south strategic deployment unusual is smooth, the Spanish also wants the waste compared with the estimate, short one month, the Japanese forces occupied the less than half Philippines, is the victory is it may be said that magnificent. 别看这次南下战略展开的非常顺利,西班牙人比预想中还要废物,才短短的一个多月时间,日军就占领了小半个菲律宾,可谓是战果辉煌。 But this is only in the surface, advancing triumphantly of Japanese forces hit Spanish one to be caught off guard, essentially, all-round strength of Spain still above Japan. 可这只是表面上,日军的高歌猛进只是打了西班牙一个措手不及,本质上来说,西班牙的综合实力仍然在日本之上。 Meiji Restoration again how fierce, developed for more than 20 years, hundred years of accumulation with established empire has not resulted in compares. 明治维新再怎么厉害,也只是发展了二十多年,和老牌帝国的百年积累没得比。 Naturally, since dares to make Challenger, the Japanese government also has own advantage, for example: Is nearer from the native place, the army battle efficiency is stronger, morale to be higher. 当然,既然敢做挑战者,日本政府也有自己的优势,比如说:距离本土更近,军队战斗力更强、士气更高。 In the military has the advantage, is not equal to is well with everything. As first existence that challenges the Caucasian country, Japan fell in the political diplomacy comprehensively leeward. 军事上拥有优势,不等于万事大吉。作为第一个挑战白人国家的存在,日本在政治外交上全面落入了下风。 Fights single-handedly , the key is to link a support does not have, can say that isolates compared with France ; Reviews Spain, at least fished the same friendship of European world. 孤军奋战也就罢了,关键是连一个声援的都没有,可以说比法兰西都孤立;反观西班牙,起码捞到了欧洲世界的同情分。 The big powers interfere, becomes this going south biggest risk. Discovered that the Austria advantage changes, even if only an insignificant minor matter, Emperor Meiji does not dare to treat it lightly. 列强干涉,就成为了这次南下的最大风险。发现奥地利异动,哪怕只是一件微不足道的小事,明治天皇也不敢掉以轻心。 Hirobumi Itou analyzes saying: „ Your majesty, don't worry. Austria benefits is being busy with the European war, should really not want to meddle the Philippine business. 伊藤博文分析道:“陛下,不用担心。奥地利正忙于欧陆战争,应该不是真的想要插手菲律宾事务。 Our going south, flaunt the banner that at the invitation of UK , France, Austria have to be vigilant that altruistic was also normal. 我们这次南下,打得是应英法之邀的旗号,奥地利人有所警惕也是正常的。 At this time the Southeast Asia Chinese walked, they pushed the boat along a probe, to judge whether we had the sign that continued to go south. 恰好这个时候南洋华人找上门去,他们就顺水推舟来了一次试探,以判断我们是否有继续南下的迹象。 Great general Yamagata Aritomo did well, chose making concessions decisively, has not created the conflict, now Austria should feel relieved altruistic. ” 山县有朋大将做得非常好,果断选择了退让,没有造成冲突,现在奥地利人应该放心了。” Are not many does not think good, the Japanese forces hit are entering Southeast Asia at the invitation of UK , France, looked is Southeast Asia to go to Austria. Although the Japanese government was explaining afterward, but this will also cause the disaffection that Austria benefits. 不多想不行,日军打着应英法邀请进入南洋,一看就是冲着奥属南洋去的。尽管日本政府在事后进行了解释,但这同样会引起奥地利的不满。 The big powers, definitely have the temperament. Along with receiving a manufacture small barrier, small retaliation, is very normal. 列强嘛,肯定都是有脾气的。随受到制造点儿小障碍,小小的报复一下,也是很正常的。 Dashanyan interrogated: „ Yitou Monarch, this is the shame of Empire of Japan, how can call good? 大山岩质问道:“伊藤君,这可是大日本帝国的耻辱,如何能称得上好？ Today Austria benefitted, we must yield ; Tomorrow UK , France came, do we also want to yield? 今天奥地利来了,我们要让步;明天英法来了,我们是不是还要让步？ One step draws back, draws back step by step. The big powers ambition gives, if did not learn to say no to the big powers, Empire of Japan can never stand truly! 一步退,步步退。列强的野心就是这么给惯出来的,如果不学会对列强说不,大日本帝国永远都不能真正站起来！ Let alone does anything probe, the Austria advantage has not paid attention to us, Vienna government not membership dues thoughts. 别说什么试探不试探,奥地利从来都没有把我们放在眼里过,维也纳政府根本就不会费这个心思。 Do I look am a personal behavior of diplomat, the Austria Libyan government know mostly has this matter, is an unknown. 我看多半就是一个外交官的个人行为,奥地利政府知不知道有这事,都是一个未知数。 Austria benefits is also not European hegemon, is so overbearing, if made them win the war, is to make us withdraw from the Philippines directly? 奥地利还不是欧陆霸主,就这么霸道,要是让他们赢得了战争,是不是要直接让我们退出菲律宾？ I suggested that does not pay attention to the Austria altruistic unreasonable demand, handles this event strongly, indicates our foreign hardline stances to the outside world. 我建议不理会奥地利人的无理要求,强硬处理这次事件,向外界表明我们的对外强硬立场。 The European war in any case conducts is so frigid, Austria altruistic not possible to advance the opposite us at this time. ” 反正欧陆战争进行的这么惨烈,奥地利人根本就不可能在这个时候把我们推到对立面。” Cannot snatch the position of commander in chief, is forced to stay in the supreme headquarters to carry out the plan, this also, the key is the supreme headquarters formulation strategy, became to the frontline changes beyond all recognition. 没能够抢到主帅的位置,被迫留在大本营搞策划,这也也就罢了,关键是大本营制定的战略,到了前线就变得面目全非。 Facing Japanese Army top senior statesman Yamagata Aritomo, Dashanyan does not have the means only to endure, but the anger suppressed a lot. 面对日本陆军头号元老山县有朋,大山岩没办法只能忍着,不过火气还是憋了一肚子。 Now has this matter, naturally couldn't help venting. His status also requests him to foreign strong, how otherwise to build the reputation in the army? 现在又出了这档子事,自然忍不住要发泄了。况且,他的身份也要求他必须对外强硬,要不然如何在军队中树立威信？ Let alone he analyzes does not have the issue, in a short time Austria benefits truly does not have the time to have scruples the Southeast Asia area. Even if does again excessively, is impossible immediately to come the settlement. 何况他分析的也没有问题,短时间内奥地利确实没功夫顾忌南洋地区。就算是做得再过分,也不可能马上过来清算。 As for biding one's time for punishment, can't hold the thigh? The royal navy is rising, so long as the English does not comply, Austria benefits, even to bide one's time for punishment, is still very difficult to be potential achievement. 至于秋后算账,不是还可以抱大腿么？皇家海军如日中天,只要英国人不答应,奥地利就算是想要秋后算账,也很难有所作为。 Hirobumi Itou rubbed the forehead, this being well-founded rebuttal most made one have a headache, he does not want to offend Austria to benefit. 伊藤博文揉了揉额头,这种有理有据的反驳最令人头疼,偏偏他又不想得罪奥地利。 What Japanese Army studies is a French, has self-confidence of the fan to France, but did not think so as Hirobumi Itou of politician. 日本陆军学习的是法国人,对法兰西有一种迷之自信,可是作为政客的伊藤博文就不这么看了。 The European scale of war is huge, the battle efficiency of army is no doubt important, but more must look at the comprehensive national strength. 欧陆战争规模庞大,部队的战斗力固然重要,但是更多还是要看综合国力。 In many statesman eyes, fell into the deeply worried condition starting from France to lose from the war at that moment. When Hirobumi Itou intertwines, a shocking news came. 在很多政治家眼中,从战争陷入焦灼状态那一刻开始法兰西就已经输了。就在伊藤博文纠结的时候,一个骇人听闻的消息传来了。 „Your majesty, just received the telegram, the Russia person declares war to France!” “陛下,刚刚收到电报,俄国人向法兰西宣战了！” Emperor Meiji can ignore the self-control, one has seized the telegram from the aide hand, glanced over fast. 明治天皇也顾不得涵养,一把从侍从手中夺过了电报,快速浏览了起来。 Although does not know that had anything, but the people were clear the issue that disputed a moment ago does not need to continue. Enters the war from the Russia person at that moment starting from, France has been unable to save the situation. 尽管不知道发生了什么,但是众人都清楚刚才争议的问题不需要继续了。从俄国人参战那一刻开始,法兰西就已经无力回天。 Possibly wins and is doomed the victory is two different concepts. Without determining Austria benefits that can certainly win, but also some people dare to bet ; Now the general situation has decided that everyone has no alternative but to have scruples in the future the European hegemon attitude. 可能胜利和注定胜利是两个不同的概念。在不确定奥地利一定能赢的情况下,还有人敢赌一把;现在大局已定,大家就不能不顾忌未来欧陆霸主的态度了。 ...... …… London, George of flying back without any results just disembarked, received this sad news. Rests without enough time, hurries to the royal palace to attend the governing, conference before hurriedly. 伦敦,无功而返的乔治刚刚下船,就收到了这个噩耗。来不及休息,就急匆匆赶去王宫中参加御前会议。 Matter was really big, did not inquire about Queen Victoria of politics, now cannot sit still. 事情实在是太大了,以至于不怎么过问政治的维多利亚女王,现在也坐不住了。 At this moment, interrogation that old Queen Victoria the sound shivers: „ According to your meanings, the monarchy should not meddle the politics. Recently these years, I have rarely inquired about the politics. 此刻,年迈的维多利亚女王声音颤抖的质问道:“按照你们的意思,君主不应该插手政治。最近这些年,我一直都很少过问政治。 The important matter minor matter of empire, gave you to process. However who can tell me, why will the international situation develop present this step? ” 帝国的大事小事,都交给了你们在处理。但是谁能告诉我,国际局势为什么会发展到现在这一步？” The monarchial power and struggle of power, is through the ages common. The world only know that Queen Victoria rarely inquired about the politics, as everyone knows this was also the result of power struggle. 君权和相权之争,古往今来屡见不鲜。世人只知道维多利亚女王很少过问政治,殊不知这也是权力争斗的结果。 Since Albert passed away, Queen Victoria lost politically the powerful arm, lacks the ability to do what one would like in the power struggle gradually. 自从阿尔伯特亲王过世后,维多利亚女王就丧失了政治上强有力的臂膀,在权力争斗中渐渐力不从心。 However Queen Victoria is not the ordinary person, sees unable to suppress the cabinet, chose retreating in order to advance decisively. 不过维多利亚女王也不是等闲之辈,见压不住内阁,果断的选择了以退为进。 The reduction little mixes the politics, firmly controls the power not to drop. In brief, the power I can be authorized to you use, but I have the right to receive similarly. 一面减少少掺合政治,一面又牢牢的把控着权力不放手。总之,权力我可以授权给你们用,但同样我也有权收回来。 This is also the future Edward VII can remould the monarchial power the reason. After all power continuously in royal family hand, but has usually not used. 这也是未来爱德华七世能够重塑君权的原因。毕竟权力一直都在王室手中,只不过平常没有用而已。 In comparison, brave king of later generation is not good. Gives up the power starting from George V, could not take carry back again. 相比之下,后世的英王就不行了。从乔治五世放弃权力开始,就再也拿不回来了。 Facing queen's interrogation, the people in abundance were low the head. Everyone knows that the crisis came, is not only the crisis of Britain, similarly is also their crises. Once processing is not good, everyone's political life was finished. 面对女王的质问,众人纷纷低下了头颅。所有人都知道危机来了,不光是不列颠的危机,同样也是他们的危机。一旦处理不好,大家的政治生命就完蛋了。 As the person directly responsible, foreign minister George braces oneself to go forward to explain: „ Queen, the Russia person declares war to law too suddenly, fully does not conform to the logic. 作为直接责任人,外交大臣乔治硬着头皮上前解释道:“女王,俄国人对法宣战来得太突然,完全不符合逻辑。 Recently these year of Austria benefitted the development is too quick, we also suppressed without enough time, has become a colossus. 最近这些年奥地利发展太快,以至于我们还来不及进行打压,就已经成为了一个庞然大物。 Creates this wrong primary cause is the successive governments has a wrong Consensus Austria the advantage nothing to be worried. 造成这个错误的主要原因是历届政府都有一个错误的共识-奥地利不足为虑。 From the geographical position, the Austria advantage clamps in France , Russia, not only blocked the east-bound road of French, and blocked the westbound road of Russia person. 从地理位置上来看,奥地利夹在法俄中间,既挡住了法国人的东进之路,又挡住了俄国人的西进之路。 The seed of crisis innate has laid down, theoretically, the Austria advantage is more powerful will more incur hostility of France , Russia. So long as we from push up secretly, France and Russia will collaborate. 危机的种子先天就已经埋下了,理论上来说,奥地利越强大就越会招致法俄的敌视。我们只要从幕后推上一把,法俄两国就会联手。 Based on this judgment, we will always focus in France and Russia. You are know that France and Russia are not law-abiding, the French scurries about frequently, the Russia person invades Afghanistan directly...... ” 基于这种判断,一直以来我们都将重心放在法俄两国身上。你是知道的,法俄两国都不安分,法国人经常上窜下跳,俄国人更是直接入侵阿富汗……” Did not wait for George to say the words, Queen Victoria hit to block the way strongly: „ I, no matter conforms to your logic, in brief the Russia person declares war to France now. 不等乔治把话说完,维多利亚女王就强势打断道:“我不管符不符合你的逻辑,总之俄国人现在向法兰西宣战了。 Your that so-called France , Russia keep in balance the plan that Austria benefits jointly, simply is lump of dog shit, even the dog shit was inferior. 你那所谓的法俄联手制衡奥地利的计划,简直就是一坨狗屎,甚至连狗屎都不如。 What is more laughable is this European war is you promotes single-handedly. I still remember that initially you also vowed solemnly to guarantee, must use this war to make Austria mutually wounded, simultaneously strikes at two enemies. 更可笑的是这场欧陆战争还是你们一手推动的。我还记得当初你们还信誓旦旦的保证,要利用这场战争让法奥两败俱伤,同时打击两个敌人。 The present result, you also saw. The duty completed half, succeeded weakened the French. If as expected, the post-war France no longer was our threats. 现在的结果,你们也看到了。任务完成了一半,成功的削弱了法国人。如果不出意外的话,战后的法兰西将不再是我们的威胁。 Sounds is very good? The old enemies in Britain were killed, you are the heroes in Britain. 听起来是不是很不错？不列颠的宿敌被干掉了,你们都是不列颠的英雄。 But this is we need? Without the French, who kept in balance Austria to benefit for us, counts on the Russia person? 可这是我们需要的么？没有了法国人,谁替我们制衡奥地利,指望俄国人？ You determined, they must westbound strive for the European hegemony with the Austria advantage, rather than goes south to compete for India with us? ” 你们确定,他们要西进和奥地利争夺欧陆霸权,而不是南下和我们争夺印度？” European balances is broken, Austria benefits to become new hegemon ; The Russia person invades India, is the biggest threat of Britain. 无论是欧陆平衡被打破,奥地利成为新的霸主;还是俄国人入侵印度,都是不列颠的最大威胁。 The discerning people know, since the Russia person declared war to the French at this time, that definitely was suddenly Austria both countries reached the agreement. 明眼人都知道,既然俄国人这个时候向法国人宣战,那肯定是俄奥两国达成了协议。 European hegemon only then, Austria benefits now the situation has become, the Vienna government in this issue will definitely not yield, then can only be the strategic direction of Russia person changed. 欧陆霸主只有一个,奥地利现在大势已成,在这个问题上维也纳政府肯定不会让步,那么就只能是俄国人的战略方向发生了变化。 Has the boundless glacier of Siberia, even if the Russia person wants east-bound, they cannot step. At least before the railroad, cannot support their ambition. 有西伯利亚的茫茫冰川在,俄国人就算是想要东进,他们也迈不过去。至少在没有铁路前,支撑不起他们的野心。 The north side not to mention, the Northern European federation is a hedgehog, is without of many meat, obviously is not the Russian bear vegetable/dish. 北边更不用说,北欧联邦就是一个刺猬,还是没有多少肉的那种,明显不是毛熊的菜。 Looks all around, besides westbound strives for the European hegemony with the Austria advantage, only then went south to capture India. 环顾四周,除了西进和奥地利争夺欧陆霸权外,就只有南下夺取印度了。 The queen of incarnation big sprayer is invincible, no one dared to come up to touch the mildew head at this time. 化身大喷子的女王是无敌的,谁也不敢这个时候上去触霉头。 The explanation conceals, matter had happened, no matter is reasonable, that is the fact. Does not feel reasonably, that can only say that your brain is insufficient. 解释就是掩饰,事情都已经发生了,甭管合不合理,那都是事实。觉得不合理,那只能说你脑子不够用。 Perhaps was spurts enough, was old is perhaps weak. Vented after the anger, Queen Victoria slowed down the tone to ask: „Prime minister, how then do you prepare to deal?” 或许是喷够了,又或许是年迈体力不支。发泄了怒火过后,维多利亚女王放缓了语气问道:“首相,接下来你们准备怎么应对？” Goes on stage to process personally is not possible, now is a mess, may explode anytime. The responsibility must undertake by this government, this is Gladstone cabinet has not turned the reason of stage. 亲自上场处理是不可能的,现在就是一个烂摊子,随时都有可能爆炸。责任必须要由这届政府来承担,这也是格莱斯顿内阁还没翻台的原因。 „ Queen, the Russia person entered the war was too sudden, the middle that happened had what us to know nothing. The urgent matter makes clear reason, then the pointed thinking means preserve the French. “女王,俄国人参战发生的太突然了,中间发生了什么我们一无所知。当务之急是搞清楚这其中的原因,然后针对性的想办法保住法国人。 The government has taken action, at present has convinced more than ten neutral countries, when the time comes can mediate this war with us. ” 政府已经采取行动了,目前已经说服了十几个中立国,到时候会和我们一起调停这场战争。” Winning over more than ten neutral countries was not false, what a pity this has the prerequisite. What the London government promises to everyone is coordinates to form to interfere with the alliance by UK and Russia, everyone followed to buy dozen of soy sauce to be good, various countries complied to participate. 拉拢了十几个中立国不假,可惜这都是有前提条件的。伦敦政府向大家许诺的是由英俄两国牵头组建干涉联盟,大家只是跟着打打酱油就行了,各国才答应参加的。 Arrived present this step, even if various countries continue to fulfill the agreement, is not useful. This year is not the country many have the right to speak, the key must look at the strength. 到了现在这一步,就算是各国继续履行约定,也没有什么用。这年头不是国家多就有话语权,关键还是要看实力。 Let the small country mediate this war, perhaps on the conference table was frightened the urine. The big powers play the hooligan to come, is no one dares to meet to incur. 让小国去调停这场战争,没准谈判桌上就被吓尿了。列强耍起流氓来,可不是谁都敢接招的。 Not speaking too far, various European countries could not count on any case. So long as the anti-France coalition warned slightly, everyone can from the heart. 远的不说,反正欧洲各国是指望不上了。只要反法同盟稍加警告,大家都会从心的。 This far-fetched plan, Queen Victoria naturally does not will satisfy, saying that coldly: „Yes, was willing God to bless Britain. Time that hoping the French can support long a little, making you have the opportunity to take action.” 这种不靠谱的方案,维多利亚女王自然不会满意,冷冷的说道:“是么,那么就愿上帝保佑不列颠了。但愿法国人能够撑的时间长一点儿,让你们有机会采取行动。” The plan does not turn over to credibly credibly, may have always compares no good. Before a better way, can only first on using. 方案不靠谱归不靠谱,可有总比没有的好。在没有更好的办法前,只能先将就用着。
