„Where does money come?” “钱从哪里来？” First Lord of the Treasury Pawell Lisitsian sent out the soul to interrogate and torture. 财政大臣帕威尔・利西齐安发出了灵魂拷问。 Tsar government poor, this issue estimated that no one is able to give the definite answer. In brief, without money cultivates the Siberia railroad is the affirmation. 沙皇政府有多穷,这个问题估计谁也无法给出确切答案。总之,没钱修西伯利亚铁路是肯定的。 In 1891, the Tsar government launched the Siberia railroad exploration program on the organization path expert. Right, is Nicholas II in the past after Japan assassination started. 早在1891年,沙皇政府就组织道路专家启动了西伯利亚铁路勘探计划。没错,就是尼古拉二世当年在日本遇刺后启动的。 Although Alexander III is the peaceful faction in Tsar, but he is also a good father. If not for limited to the transportation, after it is estimated that the British and Russian war ended in the past, the Russo-Japanese War started ahead of time. 亚历山大三世虽然是沙皇中的和平派,但他也是一个好父亲。若不是受限于交通,估计当年英俄战争结束后,日俄战争就提前开启了。 Because no matter is indignant for a while, is prepared early, in brief the Siberia railroad project started. 不管是因为一时气愤,还是早有准备,总之西伯利亚铁路计划是启动了。 The result of exploration is fearful, starts from Moscow, must pass through vast Songshulin on the way, must bridge over Ural Mountains, but must pass through the tundra of boundless Siberia, finally can arrive in Pacific Ocean. 勘探的结果非常可怕,从莫斯科出发,途中要穿过辽阔的松树林,要跨过乌拉尔山脉,还要穿越茫茫西伯利亚的冻土带,最终才能够抵达太平洋。 Is far away, how unable to compare the Holy Roman loop line railroad again, the key is the natural condition is bad. 路途遥远也就罢了,再怎么远也比不上神罗的环线铁路,关键是自然条件恶劣。 Similarly builds a railroad, if the construction cost of plain railroad is 1, then the construction cost of Siberia railroad may be 2, 3 and 4...... 同样是修铁路,如果平原铁路的建设成本是一,那么西伯利亚铁路的建设成本就有可能是二、三、四…… In the pocket does not have money, working is not unyielding. When the Tsar government hesitates whether must launch the Siberia railroad construction plan, the Vienna government acted. 兜里没钱,做事都不硬气。就在沙皇政府犹豫是否要启动西伯利亚铁路建设计划的时候,维也纳政府出手了。 Similarly attraction full „Central Asia railroad project” comes, making the Tsar government more scruple. How long but does not wait for the Russia person to hesitate, the Vienna government helps them set firm resolve- „construction”! 同样诱惑力十足的“中亚铁路计划”出炉,让沙皇政府变得更加迟疑。只不过不等俄国人犹豫多久,维也纳政府就帮他们下定了决心-“援建”！ Opens the map to know, the Siberia railroad or the Central Asia railroad, the construction cost is astronomical figures. 打开地图就知道,无论是西伯利亚铁路还是中亚铁路,建设成本都是一笔天文数字。 Let not the wealthy Tsar government undertake this expenses, without doubt is matter awfully. Original space and time to build the Siberia railroad, the Russia person is also economical in everyday spending. 让本就不富裕沙皇政府来承担这笔开销,无疑是要命的事情。原时空为了修筑西伯利亚铁路,俄国人也是省吃俭用。 Only in 1891 ~ 1901 years, the Tsar government invested 1.46 billion rubles, went far beyond the same time military spending. 仅1891年年,沙皇政府就投入了14.6亿卢布,远远超过了同期的军费开支。 After 13 years of difficult effort, on July 13 , 1904, this world's longest main railway started to be open to traffic, the follow-up project under the clash, has continued in 1916 to finish finally. 经过13年的艰辛努力,1904年7月13日,这条世界最长的铁路干线才开始通车,后续工程最终在磕磕碰碰之下,一直延续到了1916年才完工。 In comparison, the execution conditions of Central Asia railroad are better such a to lose, naturally is also only good to lose merely. 相比之下,中亚铁路的施工条件还是要好那么一丢丢,当然也仅仅只是好一丢丢。 Although does not need all year long with the frozen earth is the partner, but Afghan area that continuous mountain range, made one be miserable beyond description similarly. 虽然不需要终年与冻土为伴,但是阿富汗地区那连绵不绝的山脉,同样也令人苦不堪言。 Strategic requirement, for own wallet considers, the Tsar government chose the Central Asia railroad decisively. 无论是战略需要,还是为了自己的钱包着想,沙皇政府都果断的选择了中亚铁路。 Even if clear(ly) knows that the Vienna government is planning British and Russian relations, the leeway that the Tsar government has not rejected. 哪怕明知道维也纳政府在算计英俄关系,沙皇政府也没有拒绝的余地。 In the words of some optimist minister with the Tsar government said: „No matter Austria has many to plan altruistic, the Central Asia railroad is always favorable for the empire. Must go south, initiative still in our hands.” 用沙皇政府中某位乐天派大臣的话说:“甭管奥地利人有多少算计,中亚铁路总是对帝国有利的。要不要南下,主动权仍然在我们手中。” Theoretically does not have the problem, the going south initiative truly in the Tsar government hand, the Vienna government not possible to make the decision for them. 理论上没有毛病,南下的主动权确实在沙皇政府手中,维也纳政府不可能替他们做决定。 But this can also deceive the average person, the Indian such bulk fat nearly placed on the table, but also the motionless knife and fork divides, is that Russian bear? 只不过这也就能糊弄一下普通人,印度这么大块肥肉近都放在了餐桌上,还不动刀叉去分割,那还是毛熊么？ Essentially, the economy minister proposed that helps the Russia person build the Siberia railroad is also same. So long as the railroad is open to traffic, anything does not need to do, greedy Russian bear will go out to look for food. 从本质上来说,经济大臣提议帮俄国人修筑西伯利亚铁路也是一样。只要铁路通了车,什么都不需要干,贪婪的毛熊自己就会出去觅食。 Russian bear east-bound will no doubt infringe the interests of Britain, but with going south India compares which is the lighter and which is the heavier to be clear. 毛熊东进固然会损害不列颠的利益,但是和南下印度相比孰轻孰重一目了然。 When the time comes contains the Russia person to expand, was not a British matter, Holy Roman also does not look that the Russia person completed „the yellow Russian plan”. 到时候遏制俄国人壮大,就不是不列颠一家的事情了,神罗同样不会看着俄国人完成“黄俄罗斯计划”。 If operates appropriately, the final result will evolve: British Austria two countries pitting Russian bear. 如果操作得当的话,最终的结局就会演变成:英奥两国一起坑毛熊。 Was supposing a client war gets down, the Russia person will also be weak and sickly. Results in cannot guarantee, making their law-abiding ten years not difficult. 估摸着一场代理人战争下来,俄国人又会五劳七伤。多得不敢保证,让他们安分十年还是不难的。 The most important thing is laid down a thorn in suddenly Austria Unions, had this to puncture both countries, even if did not resort to arms, was impossible to look like now is so intimate. 最重要的是在俄奥同盟中间埋下了一根刺,有了这根刺两国纵使不兵戎相见,也不可能像现在这么亲密无间了。 If everything goes well, strive for hegemony in future British Austria, the Tsar government will also hold back to Holy Roman resourcefully. 要是一切进展顺利的话,在未来的英奥争霸中,沙皇政府还会想方设法的给神罗拖后腿。 The plan very perfect, only issue is: Builds „the Siberia railroad” money, where come? 计划非常的完美,唯一的问题就是:修筑“西伯利亚铁路”的钱,从哪里来？ British and Russian relations are not closer than suddenly Austria relations, the Vienna government helps the Russia person build the Central Asia railroad, helped pay some funds merely. 英俄关系可不比俄奥关系那么密切,维也纳政府帮俄国人修筑中亚铁路,也仅仅只是帮忙垫付了部分资金。 Mainly is project exploration, design, management and other expenses, the manpower, raw material or Tsar government provides. 主要是项目勘探、设计、管理等费用,人工、原材料还是沙皇政府自己提供的。 Looks in the share of suddenly Austria Union, even if some domestic people raised the objection, the Vienna government can also deal with. 看在俄奥同盟的份儿上,纵使国内有人提出异议,维也纳政府也能够应付过去。 Putting is not good on Britain, hasn't the blood of British and Russian War in Afghanistan, done? 搁在不列颠头上就不行了,英俄阿富汗战争的血,还没干呢？ At this time donated money, runs to help the Russia person build a railroad, perhaps in the British and Russian war the family member of soldiers killed in action, lived to rip their hearts to have. 这个时候出钱出力,跑去帮俄国人修铁路,英俄战争中阵亡士兵的家属,恐怕生撕了他们的心都有了。 If really provoked the popular indignation, the opposition will definitely add fuel to the flames. Although the national interest is important, but the party interest is more important. 真要是激起了民愤,反对党肯定会推波助澜。国家利益虽然重要,但是党派利益更加重要。 I who the enemies support opposed, I who the enemy opposes support. In the politics is always common, as for correct or is not unimportant, the key looks to need anything. 敌人支持的我反对,敌人反对的我支持。在政治中从来都是屡见不鲜,至于正确与否并不重要,关键看需要什么。 If only 1.8 million pounds unmet needs, everyone can also find east the way Rowsey to collect, has hidden the truth from the line of sight of public, gave the draw the account by the special expense. 如果只是百八十万英镑的资金缺口,大家还可以想办法东罗西凑,瞒过公众的视线,以特殊经费开销把账给平了。 However in view of the Siberia railroad, without over a hundred million pounds investment, cannot be open to traffic. 但是针对西伯利亚铁路而言,没有上亿英镑的投入,根本就通不了车。 Even if makes the Russia person have the manpower and material, that still takes more than ten million pounds investment. Must utilize such big fund, no matter with what means that cannot keep secret. 即便是让俄国人出人工、材料,那也要上千万英镑的投入。要动用这么大一笔资金,不管采用什么办法,都保不了密。 Minister of the navy Frolla: „ Not is only the issue of money. We and Russia person's relations are so intense, even if proposed that helps build the Siberia railroad, perhaps the Tsar government does not believe. 海军大臣弗罗拉:“不光是钱的问题。我们和俄国人的关系这么紧张,就算提出帮忙修筑西伯利亚铁路,恐怕沙皇政府也不会相信。 Only if we disburse money, does not bump the railroad exploration project and construction, otherwise they will not feel relieved. ” 除非我们只是出钱,不碰铁路勘探设计与施工,要不然他们根本就不会放心。” This is the inevitable result. Suddenly one day, the enemy comes to help you suddenly build a railroad, puts on anybody will also suspect that has the conspiracy. 这是必然的结果。突然有一天,敌人突然上门要帮你修铁路,搁在任何人身上也会怀疑有阴谋。 Stands in the standpoint of Tsar government, the English proposed that helps construct the Siberia railroad, it is estimated that the Russia person's first response is: This does the destruction. 站在沙皇政府的立场上,英国人提出帮忙修建西伯利亚铁路,估计俄国人第一反应就是:这是来搞破坏的。 After all, the Central Asia railroad construction had arrived at the critical moment, could not need several years to be open to traffic, the English felt that the pressure was normal. 毕竟,中亚铁路施工已经到了关键时刻,要不了几年就会通车了,英国人感到压力是正常的。 For the Indian security, Britain makes a move to destroy the Central Asia railroad construction, does not have any problem. 为了印度安全,不列颠出手破坏中亚铁路施工,没有任何毛病。 Although Russian Empire is huge, but the commodity mobilization capability of Tsar government is limited. The Central Asia railroad construction had mobilized massive manpower and resources, if starts the Siberia railroad construction again, will clearly increase the logistics pressure. 俄罗斯帝国虽然庞大,但是沙皇政府的物资动员能力有限。中亚铁路施工已经动员了大量的人力物力,要是再启动西伯利亚铁路施工,明显会增加后勤压力。 The explanation conceals, regardless of the British government said anything, the Russia person thinks that this is the conspiracy of English, attempts to delay the Central Asia railroad construction using the Siberia railroad project the progress. 解释就是掩饰,无论英国政府说什么,俄国人都会认为这是英国人的阴谋,企图利用西伯利亚铁路计划拖延中亚铁路施工的进度。 Helps conduct the exploration project and construction, that did not need to discuss. Railroad that the English help cultivate/repair, who knows that finally can use? 帮忙进行勘探设计、施工,那就更不用谈了。英国人帮忙修的铁路,谁知道最后能不能用？ Just like Frolla said that only if to money, all gave Russia person to toss about, otherwise the Tsar government will not feel relieved. 正如弗罗拉所言,除非只是给钱,一切交给俄国人自己折腾,要不然沙皇政府根本就不会放心。 The issue is light to money, the British government has not felt relieved. Who can guarantee after the Russia person receives money, used in the Siberia railroad construction, rather than served as to go south in the military expenses of India? 问题是光给钱,英国政府还不放心呢。谁能够保证俄国人拿到钱后,用在了西伯利亚铁路建设上,而不是用做南下印度的军费上？ Moral integrity contraption, the British government does not have, the Tsar government does not have. Let lack the two countries cooperation of most basic trust, was really difficult. 节操这玩意儿,英国政府没有,沙皇政府同样也没有。让缺乏最基本信任的两国合作,实在是太难了。 Foreign minister Cameron: „ The issue of trust is actually not difficult to solve, we do not facilitate to act, can act to communicate with the Russia person by the third country. 外交大臣卡梅伦:“信任的问题其实也不难解决,我们不方便出面,可以由第三国出面和俄国人沟通。 Convincing the Russia war industry agreed that constructs the Siberia railroad is not difficult, but present Tsar Nicholas II. Not happy trip to Tokyo, has let Nicholas II upright En in bosom/mind. 说服俄国军工同意修建西伯利亚铁路也不难,现在的沙皇可是尼古拉二世。不愉快的东京之旅,一直都让尼古拉二世耿恩于怀。 Stands in Nicholas II individual standpoint, east-bound asks the Japanese to revenge, perhaps going south the attraction of India is bigger. 站在尼古拉二世个人的立场上,东进找日本人报仇,恐怕比南下印度的诱惑力更大。 After all, we are not the fruit cakes. Even if the Central Asia railroad is open to traffic, the odds of success of Russia person was still not high. 毕竟,我们也不是软柿子。纵使中亚铁路通车,俄国人的胜算仍然不高。 compares to go south, the east-bound success ratio is obviously higher, the brought income will also be bigger. 相比南下而言,东进的成功率明显更高,带来的收益也会更大。 If the Russia person can before the hegemony competes ends, first step realizes the yellow Russian plan, is the pattern of the confrontation among three forces. 如果俄国人能够在霸权争夺落幕之前,先一步实现黄俄罗斯计划,那么又是三足鼎立的格局。 Can become the eldest child, no one is willing to become the little brother, let alone arrogant Russian bear. 能够自己当老大,没有人愿意当小弟,何况还是傲气十足的毛熊。 Do not look that suddenly Austria relations seem good, in fact in many Russia person heart, to Holy Roman Empire the position of European hegemon is not convinced. 别看俄奥关系似乎很好,实际上很多俄国人心中,都对神圣罗马帝国的欧陆霸主之位不服气。 This bait, has made the Russia person swallow the bait sufficiently. So long as the Tsar government treads this step, suddenly Austria Union also finished. 这个诱饵,已经足以令俄国人上钩。沙皇政府只要踏出这一步,俄奥同盟也就结束了。 Vienna can tolerate a powerful Russian Empire, but is unable to tolerate one to be able absolutely to threaten own Russian Empire. 维也纳可以容忍一个强大的俄罗斯帝国,但是绝对无法容忍一个能够威胁到自身的俄罗斯帝国。 In some sense, the Russia person to the threat that Holy Roman Empire brings, is bigger much than us. 某种意义上来说,俄国人给神圣罗马帝国带来的威胁,比我们还要大得多。 After all, they are the land power countries, exactly is the neighbor. Although continental Europe is broad, actually accommodates more than two hegemon. 毕竟,他们都是陆权国家,又恰好是邻居。欧洲大陆虽然广阔,却容不下两个霸主。 In comparison, instead is the issue of fund is not good to solve. Congressional that group of masters will not agree to subsidize the Russia person, even the strategic requirement is not good. ” 相比之下,反而是资金的问题不好解决。国会那帮老爷们是不会同意资助俄国人的,就算是战略需要也不行。” „Enemy in Congress”, this is each British government can have the feeling that. Does not blow black, the Parliament of the United Kingdom to the trouble that the government brings, truly compares any enemy to be big. “敌在国会”,这是每一届英国政府都会有的感慨。不吹不黑,英国国会给政府带来的麻烦,确实比任何一个敌人都要大。 Without Congress and opposition holds back, the international situation is also insufficient to evolve to present this. 如果没有国会和反对党拖后腿,国际局势也不至于演变到现在这副局面。 In the middle period of the European war, on a British government wants to dispatch troops to interfere, but congressional quarrel, as well as gambles with the opposition, wasted lots of time. 早在欧陆战争中期,上一届英国政府就想出兵干涉的,怎奈国会争吵、以及和反对党博弈,浪费了大量的时间。 Does not wait to discuss that a result comes out, French on game is as good as lost. Settles down great, the nature only then sold the teammate. Makes the ally to consider with sweet can with Britain, altogether painstakingly that is not possible. 不等讨论出一个结果出来,法国人就大势已去。没得说尘埃落定,自然只有卖队友了。和不列颠做盟友同甘可以考虑,共苦那是不可能的。 Similar matter also not only has happened one time, the backward, front several Ottoman war and France embezzle Italy and Austria advantage to annex Southern Germany again upward...... and other series of international events. 类似的事还不只发生过一次,再往上追溯,还有前面的几次奥斯曼战争、法兰西侵吞意大利、奥地利兼并南德……等一系列的国际事件。 1895 Britain could not do to Holy Roman Empire , but 40 years ago Britain, definitely was capable of preventing Austria to benefit the expansion. 1895年的不列颠奈何不了神圣罗马帝国,但四十年前的不列颠,绝对有能力阻止奥地利扩张。 Did not say that prevents the Austria advantage to annex Southern Germany, at least can spoil the colonizing plan that Austria benefits, the overwhelming superiority of royal navy has continued the early 80's. 不说阻止奥地利兼并南德,至少能够破坏奥地利的殖民计划,皇家海军的绝对优势一直持续到了80年代初期。 Before then, Austria benefits the navy is a Little Brother. Is published before the dread naught, the disparity pulled closer to have the mutually wounded ability. 在此之前,奥地利海军就是一个小弟弟。一直到前无畏舰问世,差距才被拉近到了拥有两败俱伤的能力。 Naturally, because of the reason of time, French and Russian two big BOSS, in the front attracted the firepower, then politician underestimated threat that Austria benefits. 当然,因为时代的缘故,法俄两个大BOSS在前方吸引了火力,以至于当时的政客低估了奥地利的威胁。 When the British government starts to attach great importance, Holy Roman Empire soon came out, wanted to make anything again already late. 等英国政府开始重视的时候,神圣罗马帝国都快要出来了,再想要做什么已经晚了。 In this world anything has, does not have the regret after the fact. One does not pay attention the hegemony in Britain, faced the most serious challenge. 这个世界上什么都有,就是没有后悔药。一不留神不列颠的霸权,就遇到了最严重的挑战。 The seniors have come across the issue, falls on the British government now once again. 前辈们都遇到过的问题,现在又一次落到了英国政府头上。 If cannot handle Congress, constructs the funds of Siberia railroad project not to have the whereabouts ; Without this railroad, source of trouble lead to the east is out of the question ; The Tsar government east does not attend, then splits up the ultimate plan of suddenly Austria Union, finally will turn into „in water the moon/month, in the mirror flower”. 如果不能搞定国会,修建西伯利亚铁路计划的经费就没有着落;没有这条铁路,祸水东引就无从谈起;沙皇政府不东顾,那么分化俄奥同盟的终极计划,最后又会变成“水中月,镜中花”。 After hesitant a while time, Robert Cecile nods: „ Ministry of Foreign Affairs first finds with the third party that the Russia person consults with, was separated one, we at least can avoid the anger of people. 犹豫了一会儿功夫后,罗伯特・塞西尔点了点头:“外交部先找好和俄国人接洽的第三方,中间隔了一层,我们至少可以避开民众的愤怒。 As for the issue of Congress, you first in secret and party congressman communicate, I visit the queen. ” 至于国会的问题,你们先私底下和党内的议员沟通一下,我去拜访一下女王。” Without the means that also instigated facing pressure Prime Minister Robert Cecile of Congress alone, has to seek boosts. 没有办法,独自面对国会的压力罗伯特・塞西尔首相也怂,不得不寻求更多助力。 The Victorian era, the British royal family is not the rubber chapter. Although old Queen Victoria, has rarely inquired about the politics, but no one can disregard her existence. 维多利亚时代,英国王室可不是橡皮章。虽然年迈的维多利亚女王,已经很少过问政治,但是谁也不能无视她的存在。 Wants sound that suppresses in Congress to oppose, is only insufficient by the strength of conservative party. Considers for the general situation, Robert Cecile has to seek help from Queen Victoria. 想要压制住国会中反对的声音,仅凭保守党的力量还不够。为了大局着想,罗伯特・塞西尔不得不求助于维多利亚女王。
