Chapter 405： British conspiracy (1/2)
”The war budget for the new fiscal year has come down, and our army fighting in South Africa has received a total of 40 million pounds in grants. Are you satisfied now?” Looking at the nervous Chamberlain, British Prime Minister Salisbury Said angrily.
”On behalf of the frontline soldiers and the Imperial Colony Department, I thank you for your support. We strive to completely solve this malignant tumor that has plagued the empire for many years this year. I swear!” Chamberlain said happily.
”Solve the problem this year? Hehe, I am not optimistic about your plan.” Salisbury chuckled. ”You still don’t understand the crux of the problem. This is no longer a war between the British Empire and the Boers. The Americans have already intervened in a high-profile manner, and they have almost never declared war on the British Empire. There are Germans behind them, as long as the Americans The munitions of the volunteer army and the Germans are continuously sent to South Africa, and our war cannot be stopped.”
”It seems that we still underestimated the Americans. We didn't expect that they would dare to challenge the British Empire just after their defeat in the Far East.” Chamberlain said angrily. ”But why do the Germans support the Boers so much? Even if they are friends with the Americans, they are not allies. They can't be guilty of being an enemy of the Empire.”
”The relationship between us and Germany is not friendly. Since the defeat of the French, the Germans have become stronger and stronger. Their overall strength is already the first in the European continent. What is especially disturbing is the tendency to expand abroad. To ensure the balance of power in Europe, we are suppressing Russia while suppressing Germany.”
”Of course, all of this is not the fundamental reason for Germany's intervention in the Boer War. What they did together was actually to make the empire retreat on the 3b railway! The Kaiser wanted to establish a route starting from Berlin and passing through the entire Balkans to connect Constantine. The railway system from Fort, Asia Minor to Baghdad and the Persian Gulf. This is difficult for the empire to accept. The Indian Ocean is the inner sea of the empire and Germany should not intervene.” Salisbury said angrily.
”So they want to force us to give in by putting pressure on us?” Chamberlain said.
”Yes, but it's not just that. Although the current Turkish Sultan is pro-German, he also bows his head to us. He will not easily agree to this plan. What Germany needs is not just a railway across the Middle East, but also A firm ally, and the current high level of Turkey cannot satisfy Germany, so they plan to change to an obedient leader!” Salisbury said.
”I really didn't expect that the Empire's intelligence network in Germany would have such energy.” Chamberlain exclaimed.
”Of course this was not obtained from the Germans. We only derived it from the recent actions of the Turkish Al-Shabaab. Judging from the current situation, we can confirm two points. First, the Al-Shabaab is about to launch a coup. They have won the support of a considerable part of the army, and the coup is very likely to succeed!”
”Secondly, they have won the support of the Germans. Recently, two German merchant ships flying the American flag arrived in Turkey and brought them hundreds of tons of munitions. Recently, we have checked the flow of funds in the financial system. From Germany to Turkey. The number is huge.” Salisbury said.
