Chapter 779 Someone seeks death
Ireland’s independence set the best example for all the dominions and colonies.
Britain and Ireland are close at hand, and the British army is still so weak.
Australia and Britain are thousands of miles apart. If a civil war breaks out in Theo, how many reinforcements can Britain send to Australia?
Don’t even think about mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the world like during the Second Boer War.
The most likely scenario is probably that a British-Indian force was recruited from India to deal with the problem.
The British and Indian troops were used fairly well to suppress the rebellion in India.
It is sheer fantasy to deal with Theo, who has the support of the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
Early this year, Andrew Gordon, who came from the Labor Party, won the election and was elected governor of Theo.
Subsequently, the gold mining areas centered on Kalgoorlie and Colgady once again applied to the Australian Federation to separate from the West Coast government and establish a separate state.
At the end of the last century, the discovery of gold mines in Kalgoorlie and Colgady triggered a gold rush, and conflicts between these two places and the Australian capital of Perth also broke out.
When the Australian Federation was established in 1901, the Western colonial government had little interest in the federation and had no intention of joining the federation and was preparing to establish a separate country.
Kalgoorlie and Colgardie proposed at that time to separate from the West Coast government and establish a separate state and join the Australian Federation.
In order to appease Kalgoorlie and Kilgardie, the West Colony had to join the Federation. Since then, the conflict between the West State government and the gold mining area has become increasingly serious.
Since Western Australia is not enthusiastic about federation, when the Australian Federation formulated the Federal Constitution, it only mentioned New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Tamasnia, and did not include Western Australia. The inclusion of Oshu paved the way for Theo's independence.
The situation in Kalgoorlie and Kolgadi is similar to that of the Yuriev Mining Company. The gold mining areas also want to gain greater power and are no longer bound by the Western State Government.
In an interview with reporters, Andrew Gordon said that if the gold mining area insists on going its own way, the West West state government will send troops to implement military control of the gold mining area.
The gold mining area reacted strongly to this, and the mayor of Kalgoorlie threatened the West West government. If the West West government sends troops to the gold mining area, it may trigger a civil war in West West.
The two sides are quarreling. Australian Prime Minister Stanley Bruce said in an interview with reporters that the Australian government is considering accepting the requests of Kalgoorlie and Kilgardie.
Stanley Bruce’s original intention was to use the independence of the gold mining area to put pressure on the West Coast government, forcing the West Coast government to move closer to the federal government and seek federal support.
News reached Perth, and Andrew Gordon decided to hold a public vote on whether to secede from the Commonwealth of Australia at the end of October.
The news reached Coconut City, and Alexander held a military meeting regarding the situation in Australia.
Although the conflicts between the Australian federal government, the Western State government, and the gold mining areas have nothing to do with the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, there are more than 10,000 Russian immigrants living in Western Western State, and the interests of these immigrants are affected by Yuriyev. The great concern of the Grand Duchy of Jev.
“If a civil war breaks out in Australia, we can send troops to Australia in the name of protecting expatriates——”
The Minister of Defense of Grand Duke Yuriev, who served as the First Army Corps during the World War Long Yuri.
"No, we can evacuate overseas Chinese, but we cannot directly send troops."
Prime Minister Deyang does not want to intervene directly. Although Australia's iron ore is important, it is not indispensable to the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
Compared with Australia and the surrounding British, French and American colonies, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev can be said to have good political leadership and people. Since the end of the world war, its economy has developed extremely rapidly, and it is unique in the entire Southeast Asia region.
The colonies surrounding the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, including Australia, actually implement a single colonial economic model and have become a source of raw materials and a dumping ground for goods for Britain, France, and the United States. Their economic development is slow and there are internal conflicts. Serious and frequent rebellions.
Relying on the Free Trade Alliance, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev focuses on the development of cash crops such as natural rubber and palm oil. Coinciding with the rapid development of the automobile industry, the natural rubber produced by the Grand Duchy of Yuriev accounts for the world's total natural rubber. About 70% of the output, the advantage is obvious.
The Grand Duchy of Yuriev is generally considered a client state of Russia.
It would be fine if everyone was ruined together.
Rebellions occurred frequently in the surrounding areas, but the Grand Duchy of Yuriev stood out, so there were rumors claiming that the Grand Duchy of Yuriev was the source of unrest and trouble in the surrounding areas.
"Why not? The UK is now too busy to take care of itself and is simply unable to provide protection for Australia. This is the best opportunity to help Australia gain independent status. We cannot miss it."
Yuri is determined, Britain If people are not convinced, they can send troops, and they can just have a fight with the British army in Australia.
The current situation is similar to that during the Russo-Japanese War. The difference is that the Grand Duchy of Yuriev sits at home and waits for work, while the British army is forced to go on an expedition across half the world.
Although the Grand Duchy of Yuriev is a country of ten thousand islands, if the Royal Navy dares to enter the waters of the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, Yuri is also confident that the British will be left behind.
The biggest advantage of having so many islands is that there are ports everywhere. The Grand Duchy of Yuriev has focused on developing its submarine force since its founding. It now has more than 100 submarines available for combat. Even if the Royal Navy is stationed in the Lion City, Yuri is also confident that the Royal Navy will be blocked in the Lion City port.
“If we do that, it may trigger World War II.”
De Young is worried that the British will jump over the wall.
"So what, will Australia send 500,000 expeditionary troops to cooperate with the British army?"
Yuri dismissed the Royal Navy's invincible myth.
Before the World War, Britain took advantage of the contradictions between France and Germany, as well as the contradictions between Russia and Austria-Hungary to form an alliance, and ultimately both sides suffered losses.
The smartest thing about Russia is to unite with European countries to completely isolate Britain. Not to mention Portugal and Spain, which are soybeans, as long as France and Italy remain neutral, Russia will be invincible.
The current situation is that all countries have seen that Britain is at the end of its strength. As long as someone dares to stand up and fire the first shot at Britain, Russia may take the lead in forming an anti-British alliance.
In order to target the European continental countries, Britain has successively formed an anti-Russian alliance, an anti-French alliance, and an anti-German alliance.
Now it is Britain's turn to taste the taste of isolation.
"Gentlemen, our most important task now is to let Australia get into chaos first."
Alexander has clear priorities. Even if the Grand Duchy of Yuriev wants to help Australia, it must be Australians. Take action yourself first.
