Cubanrebellionis the Englishjumpssingle-handedly, cannotcheckincluding the attentiveViennagovernment, the Spanishnaturallymustknow.
古巴叛乱是英国人一手跳起来的,连没怎么用心的维也纳政府都能够查到,西班牙人自然不可能不知道。Howeverthings have gotten to this point, does not do the human affairsbesides the giving scoldingEnglish, the Spanish governmentanythingdid not do.
然而事已至此,除了痛骂英国人不干人事外,西班牙政府啥也干不了。
The game ruleisso, even if goes to„protest”, mustfirstproduce the evidence.
游戏规则就是如此,哪怕是去“抗议”,也得先拿出证据来。ThismatterEnglishis the experienceis rich, howpossiblyto keep the distinctevidence, gives person an excuse to injure others?
这种事情英国人是经验丰富,怎么可能留下明显的证据,授人以柄?Does not have the evidenceis not the majorproblem, so long asrecognizedis the Englishdoes, the Spanish can definitely retaliatein secret.
没有证据也不是大问题,只要认定了是英国人干的,西班牙人完全可以暗中报复回去。Not onlywithoutevidence, andwithout the strength, that can only eat upthisto be unable to speak out about one's grievances.
既没证据,又没实力,那就只能吃下这个哑巴亏了。Obviously, thisis not the Spanish governmentis willingto accept. In order toseek the international communityhelps, brings the diplomatic pressure on the English, the diplomats in Spainbustled aboutagain.
显然,这不是西班牙政府愿意接受的。为了寻求国际社会帮助,给英国人施加外交压力,西班牙的外交官们再一次忙碌了起来。
......
……„Spanishsought help!”
“西班牙人又来求助了!”
A Franzbrowwrinkle.弗朗茨眉头一皱。In some sense, the contact and interpersonal relationshipcontact between countriesare also similar. Only hasgive-and-take, friend who canbring the benefitmutually, the relationscanlong-termbe goodto get down.
某种意义上来说,国家之间的交往和人际关系交往也差不多。只有有来有往,互相都能够带来利益的朋友,关系才能够长期好下去。
The pureunilateralhelp, the firstestimatemanypeopleare gladto help, felt sick for the second time, to was almost for the third time cool.
纯粹的单方面帮助,第一次估计很多人都乐意帮忙,第二次就觉得厌烦了,到了第三次就差不多凉了。
The favorcanexhaust, incountriesnot to mention.
人情都可以用尽,国家之间就更不用说了。In the beforehandPhilippinewar, the Viennagovernmentleftvigorously, before far exceeding, gives the commitment of Spanish government.
在之前的菲律宾战争中,维也纳政府可是出了大力的,远远超出了之前给西班牙政府的承诺。
The returnhas not waited, was the Spanish governmentrunsto rescueon the contrary, Franzwaswhatmoodcan be imagined.
回报没有等来,反倒是西班牙政府又跑来救助了,弗朗茨是什么心情可想而知。„Yes, your majesty!”
“是的,陛下!”Foreign ministerWessenberg: The situation that „ the Spanish governmentfacesis bad. Because of the reason of war, the government financehad arrived at the bankruptedge.
外交大臣韦森贝格:“西班牙政府面临的局势非常糟糕。因为战争的缘故,西班牙政府财政已经到了破产的边缘。Took backPhilippineswith great difficulty, came acrossCubanrebellion. Whatis worseis the back of Cubanindependence movement, presented the shadow of English.
好不容易才收回了菲律宾群岛,又遇到了古巴叛乱。更糟糕的是古巴独立运动的背后,出现了英国人的影子。Spainnotwith the energy that the Englishcontends with, except for the helptointernational community, theybetternot to have chosen. ”
西班牙没有和英国人抗衡的底气,除了向国际社会的帮助,他们已经没有更好的选择了。”In the world of thislaw of the jungle, small and weakis the original sin.
在这个弱肉强食的世界,弱小就是原罪。AlthoughSpain is also one in big powers, but the parallel importis the parallel import, after Philippinewar, manycountrieshave no longer recognizedtheirbig powersposition.
西班牙虽然也是列强中的一员,但水货就是水货,菲律宾战争后已经很多国家不再承认他们的列强地位。Perhaps the Cubanindependence movement, is only a British governmentconveniently an idlechess, but the Spanishactuallydoes not darenot to attach great importance.
或许古巴独立运动,只是英国政府的随手一步闲棋,可西班牙人却不敢不重视。Oneselfcannot resist, mustoffset the pressure of English, the bestchoicenaturallywasasks the eldest childto help.
自己招架不住,要抵消英国人的压力,最好的选择自然是找老大帮忙了。
The Spanish governmenthas the amplereasonto believe that so long as the Europeanalliancewill involve the British governmentto give up the supporttoCubanindependent body, likelooking onJapanwill give upPhilippinesbeing same.
西班牙政府有足够的理由相信,只要欧陆联盟介入英国政府就会放弃对古巴独立组织的支持,就如同坐视日本放弃菲律宾群岛一样。„How did Ministry of Foreign Affairspreparationrespond?”
“外交部准备如何回应?”Franzasked.弗朗茨问道。
The eldest childis notgoodto work as. Whether or notpatient, mattercame, cannotshift responsibility onto others.
老大也不是好当的。不管是否耐烦,事情来了,就不能推诿。Processingtheseterrible business, needs the skill. Alsomustpay attentionto protectlittle brother'sinterests, cannotmake the little brothersdisappointed;Cannotgiving inconstantly, oneselffall intopassively.
只是处理这些麻烦事,也需要技巧。既要注意保护小弟的利益,不能让小弟们寒心;又不能一味的迁就,将自己陷入被动中。Obviously, the experience of thisaspectMinistry of Foreign Affairsis richer. Every dayis having to dowithvarioustroubles, deals with the methodto understand clearlylike the heart.
显然,这方面外交部的经验更加丰富。每天都在和各种麻烦打交道,应对方法早就了然如心。Foreign ministerWessenberg: „ Ministry of Foreign Affairsthinks that canprovide the limitsupporttoSpain, namely: Guaranteed that the Englishdirectlydoes not get involved in the Cubanindependence movement.
外交大臣韦森贝格:“外交部认为可以向西班牙提供有限度支持,即:保证英国人不直接介入古巴独立运动中。IfSpainwants, thenputs out the Englishto plan the positive evidence of Cubanindependence movement, orisconvincesin the alliancevarious countries.
如果西班牙想要更多,那么就拿出英国人策划古巴独立运动的直接证据,或者是说服联盟内各国。So long asEuropeanvarious countriesagreed,we can also comeinternationalto interfereagainonetime. ”
只要欧陆各国都同意,我们也可以再来一次国际干涉。”
Different from the Philippinewar, has had the promise in time of warViennagovernment, thisCubanindependence movementnotinagreementrange.
不同于菲律宾战争,在反法战争时期维也纳政府有过许诺,这次古巴独立运动可不在约定范围之内。Without the agreement, that can only „being conscientious in discharging official duties”. Canprovide the limitsupport, blocks the pressure of English, the Viennagovernmenthas carried out the eldest childresponsibility.
既然没有约定,那就只能“公事公办”了。能够提供有限度支持,挡住英国人的压力,维也纳政府已经履行老大职责了。Dispatches troopsto helpsuppress the rebellion, thatis cracking a joke. Does not handleincludingownhousework, feels all rightwithdisgraced.
出兵帮忙镇压叛乱,那就是在开玩笑。连自己的家务事都搞不定,也好意思拿出来丢人。
The colonyis not a native place, according to the presentgame rule, cannot defendgets what one deservesto give up, do not wantto attaintogether with the friendship.
殖民地不是本土,按照现行的游戏规则,守不住就活该放弃,连同情分都别想拿到。As forfollowinginternationalinterference, is more likeone„to see, cannot eat” the pictures of cakes.
至于后面的国际干涉,更像是一张“看得见,吃不到”的画饼。
The Englishare notJapanesethatfruit cake.
英国人可不是日本那个软柿子。Togetting upJapanesethathas not had the feeling the indigenouscountry, various European countrieshas no pressure, seesin the allianceseveralmajor countrysupportto interfere, everyoneis gladto sell a Spanishface.
对上日本那个没有存在感的土著国家,欧洲各国都没有任何压力,见联盟内几个主要国家支持干涉,大家乐得卖西班牙一个面子。
The Englishare different, althoughBritain'sright to speaklossinEuropecompletely, but the royal navystilldominated the world.
英国人就不一样,尽管不列颠在欧洲的话语权损失殆尽,可是皇家海军仍然称霸世界。Various countriescanpersonallyexperience the great strength of English, wantsthemspirituallyto supportandcondemnorally that does not have the issue, on the moutheveryonenot to instigate.
各国都能够亲身感受到英国人的强大,要他们精神上支持、口头上谴责,那没有问题,嘴上大家都不怂。Ifreallyletseveryone and Englishdirectly to, even conducts armed intervention, that is: „Coughs, coughsandcoughs”, ourare not healthyfirstwalksonestep.
真要是让大家和英国人直接对上,甚至是进行武装干涉,那就是:“咳、咳、咳”,我们身体不舒服先走一步。don'tsaid that was various European countries, even the Viennagovernmentwere still apprehensiveto the English.
莫说是欧洲各国了,即便是维也纳政府对英国人也忌惮三分。Only if Spainattains the evidence, needs over as the eldest child, otherwise the Viennagovernmentis not willingsimilarlybecause ofthisminor matter, with the English to.
除非是西班牙拿到证据,作为老大必须要出头,要不然维也纳政府同样不愿意因为这点儿小事,就和英国人对上。Even if the Spanish governmentshows the skills, mostis also hopeful, onlyorpossiblyconvincedalsoon the Russiaperson.
纵使西班牙政府施展浑身解数,最多也就有希望,或者是唯一可能说服的也就俄国人。Nicholas II who justsucceeded to the throne, is wantingto do„bigenterprise”to come, shouldnot mindwith the English to.
刚刚继位的尼古拉二世,正想要干出一番“大事业”来,应该不介意和英国人对上。BetweenBritain , Russiamusthave a war, from the Central Asiarailroadconstruction, has been doomed.
英俄之间必有一战,从中亚铁路施工那一天,就已经注定了。„The enemy of enemyisfriend”, ifSpainhas the Russia of person of courageinresisting the issueandEnglishforms an alliance, the Tsargovernmentcasts the supportin the allianceabsolutely.
“敌人的敌人就是朋友”,如果西班牙有勇气在对抗英国人的问题上和俄国人结盟,沙皇政府绝对在联盟内投支持票。Then, did not havethen. The Russianaval poweris limited, ability that has not interfered with; The Tsargovernmentis also poor, provides encouragementto can do the job of two, booststo be close tozeroactuallyinfinitely.
然后,就没有然后了。俄国海军实力有限,没有干涉的能力;沙皇政府又穷得叮当响,加油打气一个顶俩,实际助力无限接近于零。Slightlyafterthinking, Franzsaidslowly: „Ministry of Foreign Affairsarrangementpersonreceivedon the linenormally. ToldSpainwhile convenientprime minister, Iam taking vacation, nowdoes not have the timeto seehim.”
略加思索过后,弗朗茨缓缓说道:“外交部安排人正常接待就行了。顺便告诉西班牙首相,我在度假,现在没时间见他。”Obviously, Franzthistacitly consented to the approach of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Cuba and Holy Romanempirecannot have the nickelrelations, ifreallyCubawere beaten, the internationalsugarpricerises, perhapshe can also collect a tariff.
显然,弗朗茨这是默许了外交部的做法。古巴和神罗帝国扯不上半毛钱的关系,真要是古巴被打烂了,国际糖价上涨,没准他还能够多收点儿关税。Recentlytheseyears, the aristocratfeudal lordsmaynot havewhite, plantationsarose at the historic moment, variousindustrial cropswere basically prepared.
最近这些年,贵族领主们可没有白过,一片又一片的种植园应运而生,各种经济作物基本上齐备了。Has a look at the international tradesituationto know,Holy Romanis at the unfavorable balance of tradepositionsince long, a large part ofreasonsare: Duringexit|to speakindustry and commerceproduct, the industrial materialcanbe self-sufficient.
看看国际贸易情况就知道,神罗长期以来处于入超地位,很大一部分原因就是:在出口工商业制品的同时,工业原材料又能够自给自足。Enoughbenefittrend, in the Cubanissue, Franzhas not naturally watched the fundoes not dislike the matterto be big.
没有足够的利益趋势,在古巴问题上,弗朗茨自然是看热闹不嫌事大了。Standsin the standpoint of Viennagovernment, so long asis not the EnglishfaterobsCubapersonally, the Viennagovernmentcanwatch the fun.
站在维也纳政府的立场,只要不是英国人亲自下场抢夺古巴,维也纳政府可以看热闹。Cubaindependentlyis not the issue, the Holy Romanaffiliatedcolony, does not have the eruptionmovement for national independencefoundationin any case.
古巴独立也不是问题,反正神罗旗下的殖民地,不具备爆发民族独立运动的基础。Ifreallystarted the colonyindependenttide, should the headache is also the English, has not added fuel to the flamesinbehind, evendid right bySpain.
真要是掀起了殖民地独立浪潮,该头疼的也是英国人,没有在后面推波助澜,就算是对得起西班牙了。IfSpaincansuppress the rebellion, that are not related. Western UKcontradictionaddedone, is helpful tostrength of internationalanti-UK forces.
如果西班牙能够镇压叛乱,那也没有关系。英西矛盾又添上了一笔,有助于国际反英力量的壮大。Alsocanhelpdigest the ammunitionstockwhile convenient. The freeammunitiontreatment of Philippinein time of war, thatis the history, nowis to collect fees.
顺便还可以帮忙消化一下弹药库存。菲律宾战争时期的免费弹药待遇,那已经是历史了,现在是要收费的。Withoutmoney, do not fear.
没钱,别怕。Holy Romanhas the most specializedstockteam, specialtoneed the international friend of fund, providesthisinternational loanservice.神罗有最专业的银行金融团队,专们为需要资金的国际友人,提供这种国际贷款服务。So long asthere is an enoughcollateral, wantsto loanmanynot to have the issue. Evenlooksin the two countriesfriendshipshare, but can also striveto the most preferentialrate on loan.
只要有足够的抵押品,想贷多少都没有问题。甚至看在两国友谊的份儿上,还能够争取到一个最优惠的贷款利率。
The premiseis: Mustassignto purchasesomecommodity stocks.
前提是:要指定购买部分库存商品。
......
……London, Downing Street.
伦敦,唐宁街。„What's all this about, haven't weterminated the action?”
“这是怎么回事,我们不是已经终止行动了么?”Robert Cecilediscontentedasking.
罗伯特・塞西尔不满的问道。
The Londongovernment supportCubaindependence movementis not false, butthatisestablishesat the Philippinewaris still continuing, tohelp the Japanesereduces the pressure, is dry/does.
伦敦政府支持古巴独立运动不假,但那是建立在菲律宾战争还在持续中,为了帮日本人减少压力,才那么干的。
The mutualcompromisealong withJapan and Spain, the Philippinewarendedahead of time, the lateCubanindependence movement, had lost the originalvalue.
伴随着日西两国的互相妥协,菲律宾战争提前结束了,迟到的古巴独立运动,已经丧失了原有的价值。As the world's largest colonial empire, provokes the movement for national independence, comes to seelong-termdoes not serve the interests of Britain.
作为全世界最大的殖民帝国,挑动民族独立运动,长远来看并不符合不列颠的利益。AlthoughJohn Bull the matter that likesharming others but not benefit oneselfdry/does, butthistypemightinfringe the self-interestin the future the matter, in the ordinary circumstanceswill rarely do.
虽然约翰牛喜欢干损人不利己的事情,但是这种有可能在未来损害自己利益的事情,一般情况下还是很少干的。Thereforereaches an agreementafterPhilippinenegotiations, Robert Cecileorderedto terminateto actdecisively.
因此在菲律宾谈判达成一致后,罗伯特・塞西尔果断的下令终止行动。Foreign ministerCameron Mikeslowexplained: „ Prime minister, wecannotcompletelycontrol the Cubanindependent body.
外交大臣卡梅伦・麦克卡顿解释道:“首相阁下,我们并不能完全控制古巴独立组织。In fact, startsindaywestnegotiations, wereduced the supportto the independent body, the negotiationsjustfinishedterminated the aidcompletely.
事实上,早在日西谈判开始,我们就减少了对独立组织的支持,谈判刚结束就完全终止了援助。Howeverat that timetheyhad returned toCubato launch the independence movement, wehad lostin facttotheircontrolling forces.
不过当时他们已经返回古巴开展独立运动,我们实质上已经丧失了对他们的控制力。According tobuying the inside connectionreport, the back of thisCubanindependence movement, otherinternational forcesmeddled.
根据收买了内线汇报,这次古巴独立运动的背后,还有其它国际势力插手。
The alliancecountryandRepublichave the suspicion, buttheydoextremelysecret, Cubanindependent bodydo not know that whosupportstheiroutcomesis. ”
联盟国和合众国都有嫌疑,只不过他们做得太过隐秘,古巴独立组织自己也不知道支持他们的究竟是谁。”Cameron Mikeslow is also very helpless, is really not his foreign ministerneglects duty.
卡梅伦・麦克卡顿也很无奈,真不是他这个外交大臣失职。
The independence movementis not the childcrosseseach family, oncestartsdoes not wantto stop, canstop.
独立运动又不是小孩子过家家,一旦启动就不是想停,就能够停下来的。
The Spanishsare not the fools, the action of independent bodyis secret, the timewill growwill also reveal the traces.
西班牙人又不是傻子,独立组织的行动再隐秘,时间长了也会露出蛛丝马迹。
The Englishdo not matter, howeven ifexposed the Spanish unable to takethem. The Cubanindependent bodyis not good, even if the high levelcanrun, middle and lower levelwhat to do?
英国人无所谓,纵使暴露了西班牙人也不能拿他们怎么样。古巴独立组织就不行了,即便是高层可以跑,已经中下层怎么办?Oncewere seizedby the Spanish, thatis„including the radishto carry overmud”, the entireindependent bodywill be cracked down onby the ruination.
一旦被西班牙人逮住了,那就是“连着萝卜带出泥”,整个独立组织都会遭到毁灭性打击。Had arrived at the cliff, thinks that does not startis not good.
已经到了悬崖边上,想不发动都不行了。At this time, there is a newinternationalwill of the peoplepersonto appear, replaced the role of English, provided the material aidfor the independent body.
恰好这个时候,又有新的国际人心人士出现,顶替了英国人的角色,为独立组织提供了物资援助。
The Cubanindependent bodyhigh levelsteels one's heart, simplydirectshow-hand. The imposingCubanindependence movement, began.
古巴独立组织高层把心一横,索性就直接梭哈了。轰轰烈烈的古巴独立运动,就此拉开了序幕。„The damnAmericanidiot, does not know that theyare playing the fire! Daresto make the empiretake the rap, simplyis......”
“该死的美国蠢货,难道就不知道他们在玩儿火么!敢让帝国背黑锅,简直就是……”Obviously, Prime MinisterRobert Cecileexploded with rage. Takes the rapdid not say, the keyhas not knownactuallyforblack pot that whocarries.
显然,罗伯特・塞西尔首相是被气炸了。替人背了黑锅不说,关键是还不知道究竟是替谁背的黑锅。Even iffinds out the evidencenow, Robert Ceciledoes not believe. Depending on the relations between Republicandalliancecountries, the mutualdesignframed is really nothing out of the ordinary.
就算是现在查出了证据,罗伯特・塞西尔也不会相信。就凭合众国和联盟国之间的关系,相互设计陷害实在是太家常便饭了。
From the American Civil War, does not haveonedaytheynot to holdmutually the knife. Watches the funmelon that eats the American, becomes an part in Englishdaily life.
从南北战争开始,就没有一天他们是不互相捅刀子的。看热闹吃美国人的瓜,都成为了英国人日常生活中的一部分。Does not know that iswhodoes, thenthisblack potBritish governmentdecidedon the back. Even ifRobert Cecileopenlyannounced,thisandtheyhave not related, somepeopledo not believe.
不知道是谁干的,那么这口黑锅英国政府就背定了。纵使罗伯特・塞西尔公开宣布,这和他们没有关系,也不会有人相信。Ventedafter an anger, calms downPrime MinisterRobert Cecile, was deep in the deepthought.
发泄了一番怒气过后,冷静下来的罗伯特・塞西尔首相,陷入了深深的沉思中。Regardless ofpoliticsblack and white, onlydiscussed the advantages.
政治不论黑白,只谈利弊。clear(ly)knows that carried the pot, is unable to clear the suspicionunder the background, the British governmentcannotgive up. Especiallyinjustreceived the Viennagovernmentnoteunder the background.
明知道背了锅,在无法洗清嫌疑的背景下,英国政府也不能撒手不管。尤其是在刚刚收到维也纳政府照会的背景下。Otherwisepassed on, will turn: BritainfearedHoly Roman Empire , a notemadethemgive up the Cubanindependent body.
要不然传了出去,就会变成:不列颠怕了神圣罗马帝国,一封照会就让他们放弃了古巴独立组织。Sometimes the rumor can also want the human life. Do not find by inspectionin the surfaceBritishAustriarelationsas ifalsogood, in factregarding the struggle of hegemony, both countrieshas conducted the innumerabledarkwars.
有时候谣言也是能要人命的。别看明面上英奥关系似乎还不错,实际上围绕着霸权之争,两国已经进行了无数次暗战。Atthiscritical moment, Britain, oncerevealsleast bitto be weak, will provoke the chain-reaction of international community.
在这种关键时刻,不列颠一旦露出半点儿软弱,就会引起国际社会的连锁反应。Because of the geographyfactor, was forcedto standwithHoly RomanEurope„person with no mind of his own”, likely sets firm resolve, joins the victorat the same time.
原本就因为地缘因素,被迫和神罗站在一起的欧洲“墙头草”,很可能就此下定决心,加入胜利者一边。Ifreally happened, thenanythingwas needlessto say. Conformed with the Holy Romanempire of continental Europe, isinvincibleexistence, howBritainto struggleabsolutelyagainalsouselessly.
真要是发生了,那么啥也不用说了。整合了欧洲大陆的神罗帝国,绝对是无敌的存在,不列颠再怎么挣扎也没用。When the time comes, the British governmentonly hastworoads: Eitheralsohas the anxietywhile various European countries, who strikes the first blow has the advantage, imposingandHoly Romandoes;Eitherobedientgive awayworld supremacy.
到时候,英国政府只有两条路:要么趁欧洲各国还有疑虑,先下手为强,轰轰烈烈的和神罗干上一场;要么乖乖的让出世界霸权。Obviously, thisis notRobert Cecilewants. Ifreallycanhit, in time of warBritainonfate, is impossibleto wait till the present.
显然,这都不是罗伯特・塞西尔想要的。真要是能打,反法战争时期不列颠就下场了,也不可能等到现在。Ceding the world supremacyis more impossible. Ifreallyflinchedinthisabove, does not wait forhimto go out ofDowning Street, angry„people”killing.
让出世界霸权更不可能。真要是在这上面退缩了,不等他走出唐宁街,就会被愤怒的“民众”给打死了。
„ Resumes the supporttoCubanindependent body, weneedto find out the secretevil behind-the-scenes manipulatorthroughthem, Imustknow that iswhois so bold, daressoto planBritain.
“恢复对古巴独立组织的支持,我们需要通过他们查出幕后黑手,我要知道是谁这么大胆,敢如此算计不列颠。Sends peopleto contactwith the Spanish governmentsecret, so long astheyare willingto withdraw from the Europeanalliance, westop the supportto the independent body, supportsthemto suppressCubato rebel.
派人和西班牙政府秘密接触,只要他们肯退出欧陆联盟,我们就停止对独立组织的支持,支持他们镇压古巴叛乱。StrikesHollandandPortugalwhile convenient, recentlytheywalkedwithViennanear, whomalmost forgotis the master in thisworld. ”
顺便敲打一下荷兰、葡萄牙,最近他们和维也纳走得太近了,都快忘了谁才是这个世界的主人。”black potcannotwhiteback, the maximum benefitprobably. Supports the Cubanindependence movementtrulyeasyhatred, but can also shock the will of the people.
黑锅也不能白背,利益最大化是必须的。支持古巴独立运动确实容易拉仇恨,但是也能够震慑人心。Mustknow , since Francedefeats, Londonbecomesinternationalgoes into exile in the supreme headquarters of organization.
要知道自从法兰西战败过后,伦敦就成为了国际流亡组织的大本营。Britaincansupport the Cubanindependent bodyto be independenttoday, tomorrowcansupport the Indonesianindependent bodyto be independent, the day after tomorrow can also change into......
不列颠今天可以支持古巴独立组织独立,明天就可以支持印尼独立组织独立,后天还可以换成……
