Chapter 603： Speculator

Waves have not settled and waves have risen again.

The Tubo conflict has not yet been resolved, and again in East Asia. The Japanese government, which has just undergone preliminary social reforms, has shown its tusks to the outside world.

In May 1875, the "Yunyang" and other Japanese warships invaded Busan, North Korea, and demonstrated by force. The decaying and incompetent Korean dynasty did not organize a counterattack at the first time, but instead placed its hope on the interference of the boss.

It is unfortunate that the boss next door is also rotten and is busy fighting internally. He has no time to take care of this little thing, which has further stimulated the Japanese government's ambition.

In order to test the neighbor's bottom line, the Japanese army invaded Ganghwa Island in September. This time, they could not escape, and the Korean army was forced to resist.

After paying the price of 2 casualties, the Japanese army won the battle. Under the threat of force, the North Korean government quickly acknowledged it.

(Note: About 35 people were killed by the Korean army)

The details were not explained in the telegram, and Franz was too lazy to delve into it. This kind of fighting for young children has refreshed his three views.

It must be known that the Kingdom of Korea is also a country with a population of over 10 million and a standing army of more than 100,000 or 200,000. Even after losing a platoon of troops, it admits it.

This is simply telling everyone that there is still a fat sheep in East Asia. Silly even kicking people will not come, come and share its meat.

You must know that ambitions have always been indulged. The current Japanese government is only trying to test the outside world. It is not the Showa government that wants to be the longest player in the mid-twentieth century.

The time for Austria to enter the Far East is too short and there is little interest in East Asia. This news adds a joke to the Vienna government.

But it is different for other European powers, at least the Russian empire next door has been stimulated. If the conflict between Russia and Russia was not too deep, perhaps the Tsarist government would turn around and look around.

The original bear turned in time and space and was stimulated. There are hard bones on the west side, but the east side is a little fat, but it's all fat!

Bears eat meat, and only dogs can scratch their bones. This multiple-choice question is very easy to do, it is enough to rely on instinct.

Compared with the original time and space, the international situation is now beyond recognition, and the European continent has generally maintained stability.

Britain, France, Austria and Trinidad stand on top of each other, and Russia and Russia are second-best and opposite each other. Then there are Spain, Nordic Federation, and German Federation.

Anyone who wants to break the balance must endure pressure from many parties. The strength of all parties has reached a balance, and the situation has naturally stabilized.

Once the conflict between the major European colonial empires eases, the pressure on other independent countries in the world will increase, especially in the North Korean dynasty, which is considered a "fat sheep".

"What do you think of the changing situation in East Asia, will this affect the world situation?"

There is no way, almost every colonial empire has stepped in East Asia. Originally, Japan was also a fat sheep that everyone was watching. Suddenly everyone suddenly found that this sheep actually evolved into a wolf, and jumped out to grab meat.

There are so many benefits, I take less if you take more. One more to share, the impact on everyone is still great.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Weissenberg: "Your Majesty, Japan is not a concern. They just make a little fuss. Once the trouble is over, Britain and France will let them know what the rules are.

Our interests are mainly concentrated in the Nanyang region. The Japanese can now only dangle at their doorsteps, and the Nanyang region has no place for them at all.

Moreover, the unequal treaties that countries have signed with them are also a shackle that restricts their development. Without getting rid of the shackles, they cannot be developed.

It would take decades to deal with these issues alone. To be truly strong, the Japanese have a long way to go.

The Meiji Restoration slogan shouted loudly. Except for training a second- and third-tier army, I did not see any results.

The Japanese's success this time was full of chance. If it weren't for the Far East empire next door who was busy fighting, there would be no chance for them to perform. "

"Neglecting" is a common view of Japan in European society. "White supremacy" is also popular these days, and people of color are naturally discriminated against.

Even white people are divided into three categories: regional discrimination, ethnic discrimination, state discrimination ...

For example: Western Europe looks down on Central Europe, Central Europe looks down on Eastern Europe, and Europe looks down on overseas.

Why can the Grand Unification Theory spread in the German region? In fact, the main reason is that the German people can only be counted as second-class people, and everyone needs a strong country.

In the 19th century, the United States knows that the immigrants in Germany are also discriminated against. They are also at the bottom of society just like Irish, Italian, and Eastern European immigrants.

The situation of original time and space continued to improve after the reunification of Germany.

Things are changing faster now, and with the revival of Austria, the international status of the German nation has risen.

This is why Austria can maintain its influence in the German region.

Even if you don't go abroad, the capitalists who are engaged in international trade do not have the nationality of the Shinshin Empire.

Taking the nationality of the empire and enjoying the benefits brought by the great powers, these people's positions naturally fell to Austria.

In this context, despite the fact that many Austrian practices are considered very conservative by the German nationalists and cannot satisfy their appetite, they are still regarded as orthodox.

It is not surprising that the Japanese are being despised. The Meiji Restoration has just begun, and the so-called "development" is relatively speaking.

For Japan, which is poor and poor, the development of any industry is a great achievement, but from the standpoint of Austria, these things are not worth mentioning at all.

The total amount of industry in Japan adds up to an industrial park in Austria. If you calculate the output value, it may not be comparable to a large group.

The "elite navy" trained by the Japanese government may not be as good as Austria's sub-fleet stationed in the colony, and a battleship can defeat them.

The so-called modern army, there are only tens of thousands of people. Weapons and equipment are not stubborn. With natural contempt, perhaps many people's eyes are not as good as the Austrian reserve.

Under the circumstances of full rolling, it is impossible to want the Vienna government to pay attention to Japan. Japan was recognized by the world in time and space. It was also after stepping on the shoulders of the Russians after the Russo-Japanese War.

Franz was not prepared to reverse everyone's mindset, and it was too difficult to put his own thoughts into the minds of others.

Moreover, Japan's rise is still early, and even if it rises, it will not threaten Austria. The forces of the Austrian Nanyang colony cannot be challenged by the Japanese.

However, Franz admired the Japanese government's ability to develop a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country under such difficult circumstances.

For example, now, the Japanese government has chosen a good time. Take advantage of the fact that when European countries are attracted by the conflict, the facts are established.

If the British, French and Austrian nations reach an agreement on the colonization of the colonies in the evening or two, and the international situation tends to ease, the Japanese government will be deadly if it takes further custody.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese have not challenged the strength of the international order and can only play a side ball and act before the European powers establish an international order against East Asia.

The "Yunyang Incident" opened the door of North Korea, but the Japanese government did not enjoy the benefits alone, and all the major powers could benefit from it, and the resistance was naturally small.

It may seem that there is not much gain, but in fact the political significance is not small. The Japanese government took advantage of this opportunity to obtain an opportunity for external expansion.

European countries have acquiesced in the Japanese government's current action, which also means that the international community can accept Japanese colonization of Korea, laying the foundation for the next colonial expansion.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. "Speculation" and "gambling" are too addictive, and once you get involved, it is difficult to quit.

Winning the bet, of course, can get a generous return, but when luck is always exhausted, once the bet is lost, it is all lost.

This is the sorrow of a small country. Without gambling, there will never be a chance to rise; but once you have been on the gambling table, it is difficult to get down.

Victory can be confusing. Once caught in it, there is only success in the eyes, and it is difficult to continue to look at problems rationally.

Franz: "Let's watch first! If the Russians look east, the opportunity for the Japanese will come. Compared to the Far East Empire, the British still prefer to support this little."

Whether the Russians will look eastward, no one can answer this question. Everything depends on the outcome of the next Russian-Prussian war.

On the European continent, France and Austria are now sharing the hegemony. If the tsarist government wins, then withdrawal from continental hegemony will become inevitable, and the East Gu will become one of the options.

If the tsarist government fails, everything will end. The defeated Russian Empire is bound to be dismembered. Self-protection is a problem, let alone continuing to expand?

From the standpoint of Austria, naturally it is hoped that the two countries will be tied, or that one side will win with a slight advantage. Eliminating two potential competitors at once is simply not better.
