„Does the Russia person want to purchase the airplane?” “俄国人想要购买飞机？” Just woke up from the sleep, Franz received this message. Thinks that also no quite strange, recently these year of Tsar governments have been buying. 刚刚从睡梦中醒来,弗朗茨就收到了这个消息。想想也没什么好奇怪的,最近这些年沙皇政府一直都在买买买。 Perhaps gets to know the benefits in the purchase, perhaps is also only the bureaucrats wants to get rich purely, as long as is the weapon of Austria army large-scale equipment, the Russia person will follow to equip quickly. 或许是在购买中尝到了甜头,又或许只是官僚们单纯想要发财,但凡是是奥军大规模装备的武器,俄国人很快就会跟着装备。 Saw that the airplane blossoms in radiant splendor in the battlefield greatly, the Tsar government naturally must follow up. Especially the British and Russian War in Afghanistan is still continuing, the Russian force urgently needs to suppress the weapon of English airship army. 眼瞅着飞机在战场上大大放异彩,沙皇政府自然要跟进了。尤其是英俄阿富汗战争还在继续,俄军迫切需要一款能够压制英国人飞艇部队的武器。 „Yes, your majesty!” “是的,陛下！” „The Tsar government just decided to launch the Christmas offensive, plans undergoes before very soon Christmas, captures the Afghan area.” “沙皇政府刚刚决定发起圣诞攻势,计划在俄历圣诞节前,夺取阿富汗地区。” Foreign minister Wessenberg smiles is answering. Without a doubt, the Russia person Christmas offensive, the back must have the promoter who Austria benefits. 外交大臣韦森贝格微笑着解释道。毫无疑问,俄国人圣诞攻势,背后少不了奥地利的推手。 The European war conducts now, the English have not participated, was not the London government transferred the nature suddenly, was mainly implicated by the War in Afghanistan, without so many energy. 欧陆战争进行到现在,英国人都没怎么参与,不是伦敦政府突然转了性,主要是被阿富汗战争拖累,没有那么多的精力。 Judging from the present situation, only if the law Austria two countries strength is completely unbalanced, otherwise the English can definitely first Afghan battlefield. 从目前的情况来看,除非是法奥两国实力完全失衡,要不然英国人肯定会优先阿富汗战场。 During got this answer, Franz was lost in thought. Must sell to the Russia person the airplane, is a puzzled issue. 得到了这个答案,弗朗茨陷入了沉思之中。要不要将飞机卖给俄国人,也是一个令人纠结的问题。 Theoretically, the Russia person attains the airplane, was equivalent attained the air supremacy in War in Afghanistan, won the odds of success of war to be higher. 理论上来说,俄国人拿到飞机,就相当于拿到了阿富汗战争中的制空权,赢得战争的胜算更高了。 This is the Austria advantage wants to see that seizes the Afghan area not to mean the British and Russian war ended, instead can be the beginning of two countries all-out war. 这是奥地利想要看到的,占领阿富汗地区并不意味着英俄战争结束,反而会是两国全面战争的开端。 Relates to the strategic security in India, regardless of wanting, the British government can only die to knock. 关系到印度的战略安全,无论愿不愿意,英国政府都只能死磕到底。 By the strength of Great Britain, this war also has hits. UK and Russia play intensely in Central Asia, can interfere with the strength of Europe to be smaller. 以大英帝国的实力,这场战争还有得打。英俄两国在中亚打得越激烈,能够干涉欧洲的力量就越小。 Advantageous naturally also has the shortcoming, suddenly Austria is the ally is not false, but this ally relations are also established because of the benefit, if the two countries paramount interest had the conflict, an alliance minute/share of minute of collapse can collapse. 有利自然也有弊,俄奥是盟友不假,可是这份儿盟友关系也是因为利益而建立的,如果两国核心利益发生了冲突,联盟分分钟崩溃都会崩溃。 The airplane fell into the Russia person hand, wanted to conduct the security to be difficult again. So long as the French is willing to bid, attains the sample not difficult matter from the Tsar government hand. 飞机落入了俄国人手中,再想要进行保密就难了。只要法国人舍得出价,从沙皇政府手中拿到样品并非什么难事。 „If the French, or were the English attained our airplane, must break this inside technology, how long needed?” “假如法国人、或者是英国人拿到了我们的飞机,要破译这里面的技术,需要多长时间？” Asking that Franz cares about. 弗朗茨关心的问道。 The key of issue here, the Austria advantage lightened the airplane science and technology tree, for keeps the advantage in the war. 问题的关键就在这里,奥地利点亮了飞机科技树,就是为了在战争中保持优势。 UK , France are the industrial power, once attained the sample, infers the technique of manufacture in reverse, is only the time issue. 英法都是工业强国,一旦拿到了样品,逆向推导出制造技术,只是时间问题。 Prime Minister Carl: „ According to the estimate of engineers, if there is a perfect airplane to fall into the UK , France hand, only needs 1 to 3 months, they can deduce the aircraft manufacturing technology. 卡尔首相:“根据工程师们的估算,如果有完好无损的飞机落入英法手中,只需要一到三个月,他们就能够推演出飞机制造技术来。 However deduces the technique of manufacture, was not equal to that can copy. Because of the industrial system different reasons, we have the respective standard with UK , France. 不过推演出制造技术,不等于就能够仿造出来。因为工业体系不一样的缘故,我们同英法都有各自的标准。 UK , France want to copy directly, standard that must adjust the industrial carrier. This requires lots of time, does not have 2-3 years of time, cannot achieve the industrialization mass production. 英法想要直接进行仿造,就必须调整工业母机的标准。这需要大量的时间,没有2-3年功夫,都做不到工业化量产。 The battlefield last time does not wait for the person, the direct knockoff possibility is not big. Bigger possibility, uses our airplane as the main source, after adjusting some designs, copies. 战场上时间不等人,直接山寨的可能性不大。更大的可能,还是以我们飞机为蓝本,调整部分设计后进行仿造。 The time that such a requires is unable to estimate, mainly looks at the maximum industrial level of UK , France. If their engine technologies reach a certain standard, possibly only takes several months to copy. ” 这么一来需要的时间就无法估算了,主要还是看英法的最高工业水平。如果他们的发动机技术过关,可能只需要几个月就能够仿造出来。” Similar to the judgment of Franz, the reversion deduction technology is not difficult, so long as there is an airplane sample in the hand, disassembles the research always to have harvest. 和弗朗茨的判断差不多,逆向推演技术不难,只要有飞机样品在手中,拆卸开来研究总是能够有所收获的。 What is difficult is the industrial production, this involves many domains, everyone's industry standard system is different, is very difficult to achieve the uniform standard. 难的是工业化生产,这涉及到多个领域,大家的工业标准体系不一样,很难做到统一标准。 The airplane is the high accuracy domain, a size of screw is different, may affect the industrial production. 偏偏飞机又是高精度领域,一个螺丝的尺寸不一样,都有可能影响工业化生产。 Can refer to the certain knockoff enterprises of later generation specifically, the low-and-middle manufactured products are the relaxed copy, grasped to the high-tech area blindly. 具体可以参考后世的某些山寨企业,中低端的工业产品都是轻松仿造,到了高科技领域就抓瞎了。 The sample puts at present, the technology also deduced in reverse, cannot produce. Must know the technological barrier, gap that but is hard to break through compared with the patent barrier. 样品摆在眼前,技术也逆向推演了出来,就是生产不出来。要知道技术壁垒,可是比专利壁垒更加难以突破的鸿沟。 After the late 19 th century, technological gap between various European countries, has not only existed in the idea, but was the response in the industry. 进入19世纪末期后,欧洲各国之间的技术差距,已经不仅仅只是存在于理念上,而是反应在了工业领域上。 UK , France Austria respective point the technical tree is different, everyone has own advantage in certain domains, the aircraft manufacturing exactly is the leaning Kuwait domain of UK , France. 英法奥各自点开的科技树不一样,大家都在某些领域拥有自己的优势,飞机制造恰好是英法的偏科领域。 Measured after advantages, Franz made the decision. 权衡了一番利弊过后,弗朗茨做出了决定。 „Sells! However must limit, making the Russia person guarantee that the airplane cannot flow out. Ministry of Foreign Affairs sends people to stare, delay airplane technical diffusion time as far as possible.” “卖吧！不过要加以限制,让俄国人保证飞机不会外流。外交部派人盯着,尽可能的延迟飞机技术扩散时间。” So long as has the exit|to speak, the aircraft manufacturing technical diffusion is inevitable. Even UK , France do not copy, Russia person will still disassemble the research. 只要是有出口,飞机制造技术扩散就是必然的。就算是英法不仿造,俄国人自己也会拆卸研究。 The Austria advantage exits the weaponry of Russia, has not escaped the studied destiny. Not only need be studied, the Tsar government has even also conducted the copy. 奥地利出口到俄罗斯的武器装备,都没有逃脱过被研究的命运。不仅要被研究,沙皇政府甚至还进行过仿造。 Although suddenly Austria basic industries system is the same, however industrial level of both sides already not in a scale. 尽管俄奥基础工业体系一样,但是双方的工业水准早就不在一个档次上。 Most times, weaponry that the Russia person copies, the production cost will be much more expensive than the import. 在绝大多数时候,俄国人仿造出来的武器装备,生产成本都会比进口贵得多。 Under this situation, even if the Tsar government has wanted to get rid in the war industry Austria to the dependence that benefits, finally defeated in the wallet. 在这种背景下,即便是沙皇政府一直想要摆脱军工上对奥地利的依赖,最后都败在了钱包上。 The ordinary weaponry is so, technique content high airplane not to mention. Franz dares to assert, even if gives the Russia person the technical blueprint, 35 years of time they could not have had a thorough understanding. 普通的武器装备都是如此,技术含量高的飞机就更不用说了。弗朗茨敢断言,就算是把技术图纸送给俄国人,没有三五年功夫他们都吃不透。 So long as the end product does not fall into a native of France hand, even if France and Russia gang up secretly, most still sends out several defense experts to go to study, many are unable to keep secret again. 只要成品不落入法国人手中,就算是法俄两国暗地里勾搭,最多也就派出几个军工专家前往研究,再多就无法保密了。 Participates in compared with the research with the expert of centralized relevant area, merely only then some people participate in the research, the efficiency must lower without doubt a lot. 和集中相关领域的专家一起参与研究相比,仅仅只有个别人参与研究,效率无疑要低得多。 Especially knowledge outside the professional field, was omitted easily. Can before the war ended, doing is an unknown. 尤其是专业领域之外的知识,非常容易被遗漏掉。能不能在战争结束之前,搞出来都是一个未知数。 Even if did, the airplane technology was still divided the generation. exit|to speak to the airplane of Russia person, so long as can cope with the airship to be good, does not need too advanced. 况且,就算是搞出来了,飞机技术也是分代的。出口给俄国人的飞机,只要能够对付飞艇就行了,根本就不需要太先进。 ...... …… London, after thundering of steamboat, on a luxurious passenger ship went down a special guest. 伦敦,在轮船的轰鸣之后,一艘豪华的客轮上走下了一位特殊的客人。 Arrives in the fog city again, Karel Kadlec is sad. To being placed both sides welcome formation, does not catch cold. 再次抵达雾都,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨的心情是沉重的。连带着对分列两旁的欢迎队列,也不怎么感冒。 As the French only ally, the British government naturally is the center of gravity of French Ministry of Foreign Affairs public relations. In order to express high attaching great importance to English, Karel Kadlec went into action personally. 作为法兰西唯一的盟友,英国政府自然是法国外交部公关的重心。为了表示对英国人的高度重视,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨都亲自出马了。 What a pity, judging from the present situation, his plan basically became invalid. The English is only the conventional reception, has not done the welcoming ceremony. 可惜,从目前的情况来看,他的打算基本上是作废了。英国人只是常规性接待,并没有搞出盛大欢迎仪式来。 Being beyond control Karel Kadlec are not many thinks. Like this special period, if the English intends to support France, must release a friendly stance to come out. 由不得卡雷尔・卡德莱茨不多想。在这样的特殊时期,如果英国人有意支持法兰西,必然要释放一个友好的姿态出来。 Reality very brutal, the English neither cold nor hot attitude, threw basin cold water to Karel Kadlec's trip to London. 现实非常的残酷,英国人不冷不热的态度,给卡雷尔・卡德莱茨的伦敦之行泼了一盆冷水。 Is dragging the exhausted body, attended the welcoming banquet as usual. Really without having accident/surprise, let alone the royal family member, the senior government officials has not attended, the diplomat who naturally is responsible for receiving does not calculate. 拖着疲惫的身体,照例参加了欢迎宴会。果然没有发生意外,别说王室成员了,就连英国政府高层都没有出席,当然负责接待的外交官不算。 ...... …… Mid-night, in French embassy in London, Karel Kadlec's serious asking: „Just at the banquet, I discovered that George's look some are not right. What did London recently have?.” 午夜时分,法兰西驻伦敦使馆中,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨严肃的问道:“刚刚在宴会上,我发现乔治的神色有些不对。伦敦最近发生了什么？。” Watching a person's every mood is the basic skill of diplomat, is not naturally strange as Karel Kadlec of foreign minister. 察言观色是外交官的基本技能,作为外交大臣的卡雷尔・卡德莱茨自然不陌生。 But covers the mood, similarly is also the instinct of diplomat. Perceived after George's difference, immediately brought to Karel Kadlec's attention. 只不过掩盖情绪,同样也是外交官的本能。觉察到了乔治的异样过后,立即引起了卡雷尔・卡德莱茨的重视。 Recently internationally had not had the new important matter, the biggest hot spot is the European war, in addition generally speaking remained deadlocked. 最近国际上没有发生新的大事,最大热点就是欧陆战争,总体来说尚且处于僵持状态。 In the international situation does not have in the situation of big change, can make the person Britain foreign minister heavyhearted, domestic political struggle. 在国际局势没有大变的情况下,能够令人不列颠外交大臣忧心忡忡的,就只有国内的政治斗争了。 Although wants to look at the joke of English internal fight, but Karel Kadlec is clear, now is not the time. 尽管很想看英国人内斗的笑话,但是卡雷尔・卡德莱茨非常清楚,现在不是时候。 Once the British government falls into the political struggle, his trip to London ran a fruitless errand. Before stabilizing internal situation, the English is very difficult to play the role in fact in the European war. 一旦英国政府陷入政治斗争中,他这次伦敦之行就白跑了。在稳定内部局势前,英国人很难在欧陆战争中发挥实质上的作用。 „London what happened?” Minister Ambroise stares slightly, immediately responded: „ No, your excellency. London was very recently calm and steady, does not have any important matter happened. “伦敦发生了什么事？”安布鲁瓦兹公使微微一愣,随即反应了过来:“不,阁下。伦敦最近很安稳,没有什么大事发生。 If should to speak some words, should be India. Has the hearsay to spread, the Russia person was launching the Christmas offensive some time ago, the English suffered a loss in the battlefield. 如果应要说有的话,也应该是印度。有小道消息传出,俄国人在不久前发起了圣诞攻势,英国人在战场上吃了大亏。 The British government blocked off the flow of news in this aspect, had anything specifically, for a short time we do not have the means to make clear. ” 英国政府封锁了这方面的消息,具体发生了什么,一时半会儿我们也没办法搞清楚。” Hears „blocking the passage of information” four characters, Karel Kadlec realized the gravity of issue immediately. 听到“封锁消息”四个字,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨立即意识到了问题的严重性。 Must know that under the political system of Britain, wants to block off the flow of news is not that simple, the news of most time reporters will be quicker one step. 要知道在英国的政治体制下,想要封锁消息可不是那么简单,绝大多数时候记者的消息都会更快一步。 Without the means that the British politics takes turns being in charge. Blocking the passage of information was refreshed, afterward the opposition will definitely take to say the matter. After news exposure, approval ratings to the cabinet will drop significantly. 没有办法,英国政治是轮流坐庄。封锁消息是爽快了,事后反对党肯定会拿出来说事。消息曝光后,民众对内阁的支持率会大幅度下降。 Extraordinary as a last resort, the British government will not do. 非凡万不得已,英国政府是不会这么干的。 Slightly after thinking, Karel Kadlec's serious saying: „ Mobilizes our people, makes clear the long and short of the story as soon as possible. 略加思索过后,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨严肃的说道:“发动我们的人,尽快搞清楚事情的来龙去脉。 Really is not good, alerts the enemy. Looks for several street tabloids, emits news that Afghanistan falls to the enemy, the response of probe British government. ” 实在是不行,就打草惊蛇。找几家街头小报,放出阿富汗沦陷的消息,试探英国政府的反应。” Knows oneself and other side, is ever-victorious. 知己知彼,百战百胜。 To draw the English to embark, what Britain had not to know, but how also to start? 想要拉英国人上船,连不列颠发生了什么都不知道,还怎么下手？ „Your excellency, this is not good. If by some chance made the English discovering......” “阁下,这样不好吧。万一让英国人给发现了……” Does not need Minister Ambroise saying that Karel Kadlec hits to block the way: „ Fears anything, this did to the English looks. 不待安布鲁瓦兹公使说完,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨就打断道:“怕什么,这本来就是做给英国人看的。 Stayed in London was so long, what attitude John Bull was, weren't you clear? ” 在伦敦待了这么久,约翰牛是什么作风,你还不清楚么？” More is understands the English, Karel Kadlec more not so-called „British and French friendship” regards a matter. 越是了解英国人,卡雷尔・卡德莱茨就越不把所谓的“英法友谊”当成一回事。 The premise of ally is the benefit, without the benefit, did not have the alliance. So long as the benefit arrived, the big contradiction is unable to prevent UK , France to close up. 盟友的前提是利益,没有了利益,就不存在联盟。只要利益到位了,再大的矛盾也无法阻挡英法靠拢。 As for can offend the British government, that wants completely. 至于会不会得罪英国政府,那完全是想多了。 Karel Kadlec does not believe the English has not placed the informer in French Embassy, it is estimated that alerts the enemy the plan not to implement, the English knew. 卡雷尔・卡德莱茨可不相信英国人没有在法国使馆安插耳目,估计打草惊蛇计划还没有实施,英国人就知道了。 If really wants to do the matter, at least must complete the secret. Where has to be in front of numerous embassy personnel, orders? 真要是想搞事情,起码也要做好保密工作。哪有当着众多使馆工作人员的面,下命令的？ Is Karel Kadlec wants essentially through these small methods, told the English: The British armed forces in the news of Afghan battlefield setback, France have known ; Not only now is only France needs Britain, Britain also needs France. 本质上就是卡雷尔・卡德莱茨想通过这些小手段,告诉英国人:英军在阿富汗战场失利的消息,法兰西已经知道了;现在不仅仅只是法兰西需要不列颠,不列颠同样也需要法兰西。 After all suddenly Austria Union seems very stable, if France is really in unfavorable situation in the European war, British India also on danger. 毕竟俄奥同盟看上去还很稳固,法兰西真要是在欧陆战争中失利,英属印度也就危险了。 From this perspective, UK and France were also tie up in one, suffered if either one suffers. 从这方面来说,英法两国也算是绑在了一起,一损俱损。 Can think so as for the English, this issue also no one can reply temporarily. 至于英国人会不会这么看,这个问题暂时还没有人能够回答。
