Chapter 802 Princes and generals are willing to be together
The Conservative Party’s return to power has not brought about complete changes in the UK. Workers’ strikes are still continuing, the economy is still sluggish, and the calls for independence from overseas autonomous territories are getting louder and louder. , internal and external difficulties.
Baldwin was also helpless. Britain's problems cannot be solved by one person at all. Unless Britain can have a bottom-up revolution like Russia, Britain will be hopeless.
The trip to Russia brought many revelations to Baldwin, especially the Russian state-led economic reconstruction, which left a deep impression on Baldwin.
Baldwin did not do anything for more than a year. He also wanted to imitate Russia in reforming the United Kingdom, but he failed because it affected the interests of too many people.
Like the Russian Empire, all walks of life in the UK are monopolized by the aristocracy. Behind the so-called emerging bourgeoisie are still the "old money" from the aristocracy. Even if a real genius appears in a certain industry, this genius is still very small. He will soon be canonized as a noble and become part of the aristocratic class.
An embarrassing fact is that before these "geniuses" born from the civilian class became nobles, they almost always despised and disliked them.
But after becoming aristocrats, most of them will become staunch defenders of the aristocratic system.
In this case, no matter who it is, it is impossible to carry out any reforms in the UK and can only make fine adjustments within the existing framework.
This is like a person whose arm has become necrotic. He can only survive by amputation, but he can only keep his arm clean by washing it.
What's the use of washing an already necrotic arm, no matter how clean it is.
What makes Baldwin frustrated is that not only the people and the opposition parties, but also the dissatisfaction with him within the conservative party is growing day by day.
The British Prime Minister has always been a scapegoat. Honor belongs to the king and the great sun never sets. Only the scapegoat belongs to himself.
After the British army defeated Parth, Ramsay Macdonald asked Baldwin to resign immediately. This request not only received enthusiastic response from Labor MPs and Liberal MPs, but also some Conservative MPs also asked Baldwin to resign.
Baldwin had no choice but to resign as prime minister to King George V, but was retained by King George V.
For George V, it didn't matter who was the prime minister. If it had been anyone else, it would probably be worse than Baldwin.
Baldwin originally did not want to resign. After George V retained him, Baldwin continued to stay in office, determined to suppress Theo's rebellion with a tougher attitude.
Baldwin knew very well that it would be difficult to defeat the Theo government with Russian support by relying solely on Britain's own strength.
So Baldwin took the initiative to visit the United States, hoping to get American support on Theo's issue.
Felix took the initiative to come to George, worried that the Anglo-American alliance would affect Russia's interests.
Although the United Kingdom and the United States have conflicts of interest, after all, they are both countries founded by the Angsa people and share extensive common interests.
Russia is now pulling Slavs around the world to form a grand alliance. Britain's situation in Europe is precarious and it is about to be marginalized.
If Russia unified the European continent, Russia would dominate the European market.
When the time comes, it doesn’t matter whether it is a British product or an American product, you have to play with it.
Britain needs help from the United States.
The United States also hopes to open up the European market through the United Kingdom, and the prospects for cooperation between the two are very broad.
After listening to Felix's analysis, George let out a long sigh. Now he saw that the boss was pulling the third child to beat the second child again.
But not necessarily.
Russia is not fighting alone. If you add the Kingdom of Romania, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, and Korea, as well as a large number of neutral countries, it is hard to say who will lose and who will win.
Not only has the world suffered from heroes for a long time, but the duplicity of the United States during the world war is also despised.
In the past, Russia did not reveal the true colors of the Americans out of human sentiment.
But if the United States really joins forces with Britain, George will have nothing to fear.
The worst case scenario is a cold war.
George is not even afraid of a hot war, how can he be afraid of a cold war?
"You'd better go to Paris. We need to win over most countries as much as possible and at least keep them neutral." George assigned Felix a task.
"I have arranged for Carl to go to South America and light a fire in the backyard of the Americans."
Felix is not a vegetarian either. South American countries are also very powerful. Argentina is a fully developed country. .
After Argentina became independent, after more than 40 years of civil war, it finally achieved national reunification and entered a period of rapid development.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Argentina's per capita GDP was already among the top ten in the world.
The situation in Argentina is similar to that in South Africa. With the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, Argentina's strategic position declined rapidly, and the export of agricultural products was also affected.
Argentina joined the Free Trade Organization 2 years ago.
"I will send a telegram to Joseph and ask him to pay close attention to Baldwin's visit to the United States."
George has insiders in the United States and is confident.
No need for George to remind Joseph that the honeymoon between the United States and Russia is coming to an end.
Although Russia and the United States share common interests in breaking up the British and French colonial systems.
But with the deepening of cooperation between Russia and the United States, the contradictions between Russia and the United States have gradually been exposed.
Although the "Russia-US Trade Agreement" has alleviated the conflicts between Russian and American companies to a certain extent, it has not fundamentally resolved it, which has become the biggest hidden danger in Russia-US relations.
The Wall Street giants originally planned to carve up the international market with Russia after breaking the British and French systems.
However, the previous stage of competition between the United States and Russia in Europe showed that American companies do not seem to be rivals of Russian companies.
Then the problem arises.
If the disadvantages of American companies are not fundamentally improved, then the results of cooperation between the United States and Russia may be monopolized by Russia.
When the "Russia-US Trade Agreement" was signed, some policymakers expressed concerns about the "Agreement."
Now, these worries are gradually becoming a reality.
"My uncle is under great pressure and suffers from insomnia almost every day. He has not yet gotten over the grief of Calvin Jr.'s death. In fact, his uncle has decided not to participate in the next presidential election and to stay away from politics."
John Coolidge provided Joseph with timely updates on the situation in Whitehall.
"Who will be the next president?"
Joseph asked the wrong person, he should ask George.
John Coolidge's classic American style of shrinking his head and showing off his hands. If he could predict the presidential candidate, he would not stay in the Dolgorukov family as a legal adviser.
“Do you want to join politics?”
Joseph wanted to cultivate political power belonging to the Dolgorukov family.
Prince General Xiang Ning has the talent. John Coolidge is a lawyer like his uncle. If he can get the full assistance of the Dolgorukov family, John Coolidge has a great future.
John Coolidge was stunned.
Can the Coolidge family produce a second president?
