Chapter 510: Find something for Britain to do
As soon as Ernst's mind changed, he started to set traps for the victims. East Africa had a natural advantage in this aspect.
Picked up the phone on the table and called directly: "Get me the National Defense and Security Bureau and call the director of the National Defense and Security Bureau... Yes, you report to the palace immediately, I will wait for you in the office. ”
After a while, the director of the East African Defense and Security Bureau heard the summons and rushed over. For Gro, if His Highness personally summoned him, it must be that something big had happened.
As a new department just established a few years ago, the National Defense and Security Service does not have much influence in East Africa and is an unknown organization.
Although it has the name of national defense, it has nothing to do with the military. The military has its own intelligence department, which is mainly used to collect military-related intelligence. The East African Defense and Security Agency is an out-and-out spy organization. Conduct some espionage activities targeting foreign countries.
Soon, a quite young officer came to the Chewit Palace. Since it was a "defense department", he was also wearing a military uniform.
"Gero, you are here, sit down first."
"Yes, principal!"
Gero gave a military salute and then sat down, his face was stern. Said: "Principal, if you have any instructions this time, just give them!"
Ernst took a sip of tea and then said: "It's not a big deal. I think you know about the British suppression of us recently."
"Yes, principal, our department has been following your instructions. I focus on the intelligence work of the United Kingdom and the United States, so I personally monitor the progress of the British sanctions bill and the situation of connecting our surrounding forces to prevent missing important information."
"Then you should also know that I am looking for you this time. Is that the purpose of coming?”
“The principal is planning to give back to Britain?”
“That’s not the case, we don’t have the ability to fall out with Britain, so this is why I’m looking for you. The reason for coming is that some things cannot be solved openly.”
Grotto sat on the sofa sternly, thinking about Ernst's words: "The principal means to secretly add trouble to the British so that they have no time to take care of East Africa?"
"Very good, it seems that you have already Knowing what I mean, I plan to stop the UK from always focusing on East Africa. It is much more important than East Africa. The British are too idle.”
“So that’s what happened! Principal, I don’t know how you plan to intervene and what effect you want to achieve. We need to use British personnel. What!”
“No need, it’s not easy to place some chess pieces. , it cannot be wasted in vain, it must be effective at critical moments. We may not be able to use it in the past few years. This time we mainly think of ways from the perspective of public opinion, so just use the most peripheral personnel. I need you to find a few people in the UK. For MPs who value regions other than East Africa, let them speak out. It is best to start with Afghanistan. The war in Afghanistan is the starting point, or South America is the starting point. Express your opinions and find something for the British to do to divert the attention of the British government."
"I'm afraid this is not enough to make the British turn their guns. The words of a single MP are not enough to change the British government’s mind.”
"Well, what you said makes sense, so I will ask the newspaper to follow up on your actions and build momentum for them. After you arrange the list of members, remember to send a copy, and I will publish their remarks through the media."
Gero thought it was that simple?
"Principal, is this not enough to achieve our goal?"
Ernst nodded: "Of course, this is only one aspect, what I want to say next is the key point, Since we mentioned Afghanistan and South America just now, it is naturally related to these two regions. "The principal is talking about two wars?"
In 1879, there were two major wars related to the British, one was the Second Anglo-Afghan War, and the other was the South Pacific War, also known as the Guano War and the Saltpeter War.
“Yes, the British attention is now focused on these two wars, but Afghanistan is obviously more important to the British. After all, the British personally ended the war, and the South Pacific War also had a good impact. It was the same as the last time the British Instigating Portugal is the same as our confrontation. This time, the United Kingdom is behind Chile. "
It seems that the United Kingdom has its own strategic deployment in Asia, Africa and Latin America. However, East Africa is huge after all, and Portugal is behind it." The people were simply unable to conquer, which prevented the British from succeeding.
As for Afghanistan and South America, it was more miserable. The British military operations in Afghanistan went very smoothly in the early stage, but Ernst knew that the Afghan people would let the British experience the feeling of being surrounded by soldiers. The way of occupying cities was not Afghanistan is not going to work.
In the direction of South America, three small countries fought over saltpeter. The armies of the three countries even used cold weapons such as bows and crossbows to fight. Just like the Paraguay War, it was another means by which Britain tried to strengthen its control over South America.
"So you have to make full use of these two wars and let the UK turn its attention to these two places. South America is currently undergoing fierce fighting, but Afghanistan is currently calm, so I will allocate a sum of money to you and give me the situation in Afghanistan. Stir it up."
Ernst's ultimate goal is Afghanistan. As for the South Pacific War, it is incidental. Anyway, it is good material and can add some fun to British citizens.
With more news about the two wars, there will naturally be less news about East Africa. The British government will also be affected by public opinion and give priority to the two wars.
"Principal, you mean that we intervene in the war in Afghanistan?"
Ernst shook his head and said: "It's not us, it's Tsarist Russia, Persia or Afghanistan, but it has nothing to do with us. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, principal, but after all, we don't have much power in Afghanistan, so this matter may be quite difficult."
"I know this matter is not easy, but many things can be solved with money. , we happened to have a lot of weapons left over from the last war, so donate them to the Afghan people! Our department is responsible for delivering this batch of weapons to the British, but we must find a way to cleanse the relationship between this batch of weapons and East Africa and not let others take advantage of it."
"I understand, Your Highness, we. You can use Arab merchants to do this. As for the weapons, you don’t need to send them all. Go, let’s pick some general versions so that the enemy can’t find out that they are related to Germany, and finally put the blame on the countries surrounding Afghanistan.”
Gro said his thoughts, and Ernst added: “ It is best for our people to do this in Russian. They must not use German to make a show. Do the whole thing. Russia was planning to intervene in the war anyway, so it seems natural."
"I understand, principal, this action is entirely planned by the Russians and has nothing to do with other countries. Naturally including East Africa, especially East Africa.”
"Well, that's right. One more thing to remember is that you have to think of a way for the transportation. We can't interfere. You can think of a way from Zanzibar so that no one discovers that the weapons are flowing out of East Africa."
Without Ernst’s intervention, the Afghans would still have launched a rebellion against the British in a few months. However, Ernst wanted to move the matter forward. As long as Afghanistan was in chaos, the British could only focus on Focusing on Afghanistan, after all, it is the real British army fighting in Afghanistan, not agents like Portugal and Chile.
Thinking of this, Ernst finally warned: "The sooner this matter is done, the better. Of course, you can't be impatient. The first goal is to be safe. Even if the mission fails, nothing will happen with East Africa." Any relationship.”
