London, reports of victory keep coming of Egyptian area, Prime Minister Gladstone cannot be happy. 伦敦,埃及地区的捷报频传,格莱斯顿首相却高兴不起来。 Insurrectionary army such, has not projected on the Suez Canal area as they expected, the security of threat canal, even canal the side has not traced. 起义军并没有如他们预料中的那样,一路打到苏伊士运河地区,威胁运河的安全,甚至连运河的边都没摸到。 Without the means that the insurrectionary army high level is not a fool. Leader Mahdi is at least sober, knows , before driving away French, runs to be able toward the canal near awfully. 没有办法,起义军高层也不全是傻子。至少领袖马赫迪就非常清醒,知道在没有赶走法国人前,往运河边跑会要命的。 In addition taking strict precautions against of French clings to tenaciously, even they rather look that Egyptian area cities fall to the enemy, must first safeguard the security of Suez Canal. 加上法国人的严防死守,甚至他们宁愿看着埃及地区一座座城市沦陷,也要优先保障苏伊士运河的安全。 This lets want to involve the British government of Suez Canal very injured. 这让想要介入苏伊士运河的英国政府非常受伤。 The canal had not been threatened, the English naturally does not have the excuse to meddle the canal business. Britain is fierce, law Austria both countries do not buy their accounts. 运河没有遭到威胁,英国人自然没有借口插手运河事务。不列颠再厉害,法奥两国也不买他们的账。 Now the reinforcements of French arrive in Egypt, even if at this time the insurrectionary army wants to hit toward the canal near, did not have the opportunity. 现在法国人的援兵就抵达了埃及,这个时候起义军就算是想往运河边打,也没机会了。 Eventually the goal has not been achieved, how even if to weaken the French again, is still not studious, after all at this time France is not the priority target of British government suppression. 最终目的没有实现,就算是再怎么削弱法国人,也是无用功,毕竟这个时候法兰西已经不是英国政府打压的首要目标。 Gladstone: „ Egyptian plan has been defeated, we lost the opportunity of involving the Suez Canal, continued to with law Austria both countries face directly. 格莱斯顿:“埃及计划已经失败,我们丧失了介入苏伊士运河的机会,继续下去就要和法奥两国直接对垒了。 Considering the current situation, we must consider the aftermath now. Continues to weaken France, but is benefitting the help for Austria, does not help the European balance. ” 鉴于目前的情况,现在我们必须要考虑善后问题。继续削弱法兰西,只是在替奥地利帮忙,不利于欧陆平衡。” Although does not want to acknowledge, but the fact is the fact. The reputation of Lieutenant General Jerreth blows very much loud, in fact he can direct the army, mainly establishes in Mahdi's trust. 尽管不想承认,但事实就是事实。杰雷斯中将的名头吹得很响,实际上他能够指挥部队,主要是建立在马赫迪的信任上。 However this trust has the condition, at least makes the insurrectionary army stop up the Suez Canal, encountered Mahdi to reject. 但是这种信任不是没条件的,至少让起义军堵塞苏伊士运河,就遭到了马赫迪拒绝。 No one is the fool, Mahdi stops up the consequence of Suez Canal clearly, that offends is not two countries, but is all canal beneficiaries. 谁都不是傻子,马赫迪非常清楚堵塞苏伊士运河的后果,那得罪的不是一个两个国家,而是所有的运河受益国。 The English do not dare to be out to do the matter personally, Mahdi does not dare. Even if makes the board game piece, that still has the board game piece of thought that is not the situation must be controlled by the standard-bearer. 英国人都不敢亲自下场搞事情,马赫迪就更不敢了。就算是做棋子,那也是有思想的棋子,不是什么情况都要受旗手操控。 Foreign minister George: „ Prime minister said well, the reinforcements of French armed forces arrive, our plans have been defeated. 外交大臣乔治:“首相说得不错,法军的援兵抵达,我们的计划已经失败了。 Continues, besides increasing loss, we are very difficult to yield a bigger income. 继续下去,除了增加损失之外,我们很难获得更大的收益。 However now is not independently good, missed this opportunity, in the future we wanted to meddle the canal business more difficult. 但是现在放手也不行,错过了这次机会,未来我们想要插手运河事务就更难了。 Judging from the present situation, has support that we and Austria benefit, the insurrectionary army not necessarily cannot separate a side. 从目前的情况来看,有我们和奥地利的支持,起义军未必不能割据一方。 Lays down a nail in the Egyptian area, to our future Suez Canal place, will be necessary. 埋下一颗钉子在埃及地区,对我们未来苏伊士运河地,还是有必要的。 Even we drop now, Austria altruistic will not give up. 况且,即便是我们现在放手,奥地利人也不会罢手。 By them in the strength of African continent, has us to participate, the essential difference is not big. 凭借他们在非洲大陆的实力,有没有我们参与,本质上的区别并不大。 As for the French, had offended in any case, does not care to offend deeply. ” 至于法国人,反正都已经得罪了,也不在乎得罪的更深一些。” This echoes the diplomatic norm of Britain, all emulate to the benefit. As for offending potential accurate ally, that is not the matter, even John Bull of ally pit, does not care about these. 这非常附和不列颠的外交准则,一切向利益看齐。至于得罪潜在的准盟友,那都不是事儿,连盟友都坑的约翰牛,根本就不在乎这些。 Hears this answer, making Prime Minister Gladstone very uncomfortable. 听到这个答案,令格莱斯顿首相非常不舒服。 To note the intention of Lieutenant General Jerreth to be obvious, actually encounters the foreign minister brutally to reject, changing everybody can not be uncomfortable. 想要照会杰雷斯中将的意图已经非常明显,却遭到外交大臣无情的拒绝,换了谁都会不舒服。 However the cabinet is not Gladstone's practice of "what I say goes", the opinion of foreign minister, he must give careful consideration. 不过内阁不是格莱斯顿的一言堂,外交大臣的意见,他也必须要慎重考虑。 If by some chance gave up the rebel army, making Austria go to enter altruistic, finally guaranteed part of rebel armies to separate a side, Britain became the fool. 万一放弃了叛军,让奥地利人趁虚而入,最后保下了一部分叛军割据一方,不列颠就成冤大头了。 When the time comes the incumbent party, will definitely seize the chance to launch an attack. The spittle of people, can make them leave office. 到时候在野党,肯定会趁机发难。民众的唾沫星子,都能够令他们下台。 To put it bluntly, UK , France never have the so-called friendship, some are only the hatreds. 说白了,英法从来不存在所谓的友谊,有的只是仇恨。 This is the consensus of two countries people, regardless of the London government is willing to acknowledge, the concept has struck root in the hearts of the people. 这已经是两国民众的共识,无论伦敦政府愿不愿意承认,观念都已经深入人心。 A Gladstone brow wrinkle, said discontentedly: „ Knight, do not forget the law Austria strength to present the imbalance. 格莱斯顿眉头一皱,非常不满的说:“爵士,不要忘了法奥实力已经出现失衡。 Continues to weaken the French, under is in inverse proportion, will only make the advantage that Austria benefits more distinct, the frail European balance will be very continuously for a long time hence easy to be broken. ” 继续削弱法国人,此消彼长之下,只会让奥地利的优势更加明显,长此以往脆弱的欧陆平衡很容易被打破。” Foreign minister George shakes the head: „ Prime minister, these are only a possibility, is not must happen. 外交大臣乔治摇了摇头:“首相阁下,这些都只是一种可能,并不是必然要发生。 In fact, the advantage that Austria benefits is only also restricted in economically. In military, they to French not many advantages. 实质上,奥地利的优势也仅限于经济上。军事上,他们对法国人并没有多少优势。 This point, from the German unified planning of Vienna government, can look. 这一点,从维也纳政府的德意志统一计划,就可以看出来。 If the strength is enough, they had begun, does not need to wait till the present. 如果实力足够的话,他们早就动手了,根本就不用等到现在。 Do not look at suddenly Austria both countries is the ally, in fact they have the strategic conflict, Austria benefit if really has to crush the French to dominate the strength of continental Europe, suddenly Austria Union can also turn into French and Russian Unions. 别看俄奥两国是盟友,实际上他们同样存在着战略冲突,奥地利真要是有压倒法国人称霸欧洲大陆的实力,俄奥同盟也可以变成法俄同盟。 Before unifying the German area, Austria benefits did not have by enemy two strengths. This Vienna government must be clear, therefore the European balance stabilizes in fact. ” 在统一德意志地区之前,奥地利还不具备以一敌二的实力。这一点维也纳政府不可能不清楚,所以欧陆平衡实质上还是稳定的。” This reason, making Prime Minister Gladstone be speechless. Superficially, Austria benefitted truly had the advantage in continental Europe, bad strategic location, counter-balanced some advantages. 这个理由,令格莱斯顿首相无话可说。从表面上来看,奥地利确实在欧洲大陆占据了优势,不过糟糕的战略位置,又抵消了这部分优势。 If really presents one-party rule, then Austria benefitted faced with is not only only the law Austria union, might turn into UK , France and Russia Union, even might also add on the northern virtue. 真要是出现一家独大,那么奥地利面临就不仅仅只是法奥同盟了,也有可能变成英法俄三国同盟,甚至还有可能加上北德。 Saw the scene to fall into awkwardly, the First Lord of the Treasury understood to govern Gordon reminded: „ Two, this issue can put aside for the time being, postpones discussed. 见场面陷入了尴尬,财政大臣晓治・柴尔德斯提醒道:“两位,这个问题可以暂且搁置,延后再进行讨论。 At present we must seriously consider that the grain plans self sufficient. Recently, the domestic position grain self sufficient call is getting higher and higher. 眼下我们必须要认真考虑粮食自足计划。最近一段时间,国内主张粮食自足的呼声越来越高。 If continues, the parliament Gundam/reaches as high as 95% through the probability of proposal. When the time comes, we wanted to oppose to be difficult again. ” 如果继续下去,议会通过提案的几率高达百分之九十五。到时候,我们再想要反对就难了。” Without a doubt, in the London government most opposed „grain self sufficient plan” is Ministry of Finance. Britain truly is the big enterprise has lots of assets, but the high income also follows the high disbursement. 毫无疑问,伦敦政府中最反对“粮食自足计划”的就是财政部。不列颠确实是家大业大,但高收入还伴随着高支出。 The royal navy is the biggest committing suicide beast, the fund of every year consuming, is not weak in Austria benefits the land navy military expenses expenses the sum total. 皇家海军就是最大的吞金兽,每年消耗的资金,丝毫不弱于奥地利陆海军军费开销的总和。 Now does the grain to plan again self sufficient, is a great owing project. And is also not one year two years of owing, but year after year owing. 现在再搞粮食自足计划,又是一个巨亏项目。并且还不是一年两年的亏,而是长年累月的亏。 Is doomed to lose money to one, cannot see the business of return, the First Lord of the Treasury is not naturally willing to draw cash to throw away carelessly. 对一项注定亏本,看不到回报的买卖,财政大臣自然不愿意拿钱打水漂。 Colonizes minister Primrose to refute: „ Knight, you were too pessimistic. Matter has the dual character, the grain self sufficient plan, although in a short time is unable to return to the itself/Ben, however its supplementary value is not low. 殖民大臣普里姆罗斯反驳道:“爵士,你太悲观了。事情都有两面性,粮食自足计划虽然短期内无法回本,但是它的附带价值并不低。 This plan is not only only the agriculture, but also related to many infrastructure constructions, including hydraulic engineering and traffic. 这项计划不仅仅只是农业,还涉及到了很多基础设施建设,包括水利工程、道路交通。 Once completed the supplementary facilities to construct, the attraction of colony to immigration will considerably increase. 一旦完成了配套设施建设,殖民地对移民的吸引力将会大大增加。 Flooding into of a large number of labor force, will further promote the development of colonial economy, the finance of colony government will have the big improvement. 大量劳动力的涌入,又会进一步推动殖民地经济的发展,殖民地政府的财政将会得到大大改善。 Colony that lost money, will therefore turn losses into profit. The synthesis, our investments do not owe. ” 原本很多亏损的殖民地,也会因此而扭亏为盈。综合来看,我们的投资并不亏。” Sounds very good, in fact this is only restricted in theoretically. The colonial economy is prosperous, while increasing government finance income, will also bring in at sixes and sevens thought. 听起来很不错,实际上这仅限于理论上。殖民地经济繁荣,在增加政府财政收入的同时,还会引来乱七八糟的思想。 Does not need to suspect, the national independence principle will be in flood absolutely in the shortest time. 不用怀疑,民族独立主义绝对会在最短的时间里泛滥。 Although everyone agreed did not disseminate the revolutionary idea, but this listens to be good. Perhaps to avoid drawing fire to oneself, will restrain in continental Europe everyone, but colony absolutely not in consideration range and so on. 虽然大家约定了不传播革命思想,但这听听就好了。或许为了避免引火烧身,在欧洲大陆大家会有所收敛,可殖民地绝对不会在考虑范围之类。 Once the nationalism spreads, will colonize the rule of government considerably to increase inevitably. 一旦民族主义传开,殖民政府的统治势必会大大增加。 The high income along with a higher disbursement, actually owed or gained, this issue is very difficult to talk clearly. 高收入伴随着更高的支出,究竟是亏了还是赚了,这个问题很难说清楚。 However the national independence thought dissemination requires the time, in a short time advantageous. This means that the trouble is a successor, the achievements are actually the present. 不过民族独立思想传播需要时间,短期内还是有利的。这就意味着麻烦都是后来者的,政绩却是眼下的。 The First Lord of the Treasury understands to govern Gordon reminded: „ The Russia person has indicated the standpoint, once we implement the grain to plan self sufficient, they will withdraw from the free trade system. 财政大臣晓治・柴尔德斯提醒道:“俄国人已经表明了立场,一旦我们实施粮食自足计划,他们就会退出自由贸易体系。 We have to consider that the Russia person withdraws, chain-reaction that possibly brings. If all grain exporters, withdrew from the free trade system, the consequence was serious. ” 我们不得不考虑俄国人退出,可能带来的连锁反应。如果所有的粮食出口国,都退出了自由贸易体系,后果就严重了。” Does not need all grain exporters to withdraw, so long as suddenly Austria withdraws from the free trade system together, this set of system plays does not transfer. 不需要所有粮食出口国都退出,只要俄奥一起退出自由贸易体系,这套体系就玩儿不转了。 In the age of this law of the jungle, free trade system besides political diplomacy method, what are more is the dependence in the military force support. 在这个弱肉强食的年代,自由贸易体系除了政治外交手段外,更多的还是依赖于武力支撑。 Many small countries join this system, for was not repelled by everyone, avoids being suppressed by the big powers. 很多小国加入这个体系,就是为了不被大家排斥,避免遭到列强的打压。 This is also everyone withdraws from the helpless reason to the French. France is a great nation, oneself are powerful, will want to suppress will pay the big price inevitably. 这也是大家对法国人退出无能为力的原因。法兰西是大国,自身实力雄厚,想要打压势必会付出大代价。 The income and pays is not proportional, naturally no one worked as the person who takes the lead. 收益和付出不成正比,自然没有人当出头鸟了。 If suddenly Austria both countries withdraw again, the land military force acting of free trade system, substantive entire was waste. The royal navy cannot come ashore again fiercely, deterrent force radically insufficient. 要是俄奥两国再退出,自由贸易体系的陆地武力担当,直接性的全废了。皇家海军再厉害也上不了岸,威慑力根本就不够。 Foreign minister George: „ This world perfect matter, has not had must lose. 外交大臣乔治:“这个世界从来都没有十全十美的事情,有得就必有失。 Because if the Russia person takes withdrawing from the free trade system as to coerce, we make the compromise, where toward puts the face countenance of Britain? 如果因为俄国人以退出自由贸易体系为要挟,我们就做出妥协,把不列颠的颜面往哪里放？ If will have similar matter in the future again, what to do should also? Actually is to continue to compromise, is the absolute refusal? ” 要是未来再发生类似的事情,又该怎么办？究竟是继续妥协,还是断然拒绝？” Britain is also attaches great importance to face-saving, the compromise concessions cannot injure their face countenance, very regrettable Russia person has not realized this point. 不列颠也是要面子的,妥协让步也不能伤了他们的颜面,很遗憾俄国人没有意识到这一点。 Should conduct the negotiations communication secretly, was actually attained on the desktop to discuss, does the British government to compromise, must think things over carefully before acting. 本该暗地里进行谈判沟通,却被拿到了桌面上谈,搞得英国政府要妥协,都必须要三思而后行。 If by some chance stimulated domestic populace's frail nerve, was clutched by the incumbent party again is not putting, that matter may on the big strip. 万一刺激到了国内民众脆弱的神经,再被在野党揪着不放,那事情可就大条了。 In some sense, the domineering statement of Tsar government, strengthened the decision of British government to a certain extent. 某种意义上来说,沙皇政府的强势表态,在一定程度上坚定了英国政府的决策。 Prime Minister Gladstone sighs secretly, helpless saying: „ We the trade with Russia person are limited, can save this stretch of market to be best. 格莱斯顿首相暗自叹了一口气,无奈的说道:“我们同俄国人的贸易有限,能够保住这片市场最好。 Really is not good, that does not need to be polite with the Russia person. Austria benefits in any case is also those with vested interests of free trade system, the Vienna government is not possible to withdraw. ” 实在是不行,那也没必要和俄国人客气。反正奥地利也是自由贸易体系的既得利益者,维也纳政府是不可能退出的。” ...... ……
