Chapter 597 The Gate of War

Faced with the harsh words that Morgan McLaury said, Sir Matthew Crowley did not respond immediately, but looked at the other party with caution and asked, "You haven't answered the questions I care about yet?"

"Is this your problem or is it a common concern for the upper class of Victoria? Or is it Governor Jeff Bridges' concern?"

"Sir Morgan, you can see me as the spokesperson, including everyone, Victoria is generally anxious about the massive invasion of the Easterners."

"This is our problem, and it is your problem." Morgan McLaury said meaningfully, and lying on the chair relaxed, with a complicated look in his eyes;

"God blessed, the honorable Count John Lawrence Barde, our most trusted close friend and a staunch ally with common beliefs, he deeply recognized the dangers of the expansion of the Eastern people in Australia, like locusts passing through the earth without a single grass.

In the new Conservative Cabinet in London, there are many cabinet members who hold the same concept. They are our potential alliances and supporters. Unfortunately, the Minister of the Colonial and Foreign Affairs are not among them. They should be neutral and pay more attention to the situation in India or Europe.

Now Count John Lawrence Barde has been invited to serve as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His work focus is mainly on internal affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The deputy chief of the diplomatic office is different from the deputy chief of government affairs. It is an important tacit understanding to take a neutral position on foreign policy issues, which greatly limits the influence of Lord Earl.

Recent communications

I mentioned to the honorable Count the increasingly serious situation in Australia and sought to obtain support from London, the Count said in his reply;

As a remote dominant group, Australia is on the edge of London's diplomatic considerations, and no one cares about what is happening here, so there is no quick and powerful response, let alone strong policy support.

The attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is... Just cause less trouble.

Moreover, Australian affairs are directly under the colonial department, so it is difficult for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to extend their hands to the colonial department to point fingers. This will lead to unnecessary rebound and negative factors, which will not be beautiful in the matter.

Therefore, the key to solving the problem is that the autonomous lords of southern Australia must make enough noise, which cannot be taken lightly from Downing Street, and the respected Queen Victoria has heard of it, so that the opportunity to solve the Australian problem can be triggered."

After Morgan McLaury said that, Sir Matthew Crowley fell into long-term thinking.

These words clearly demonstrate the pro-south forces in London;

You must first make a big noise so that London can do its best, instead of turning the order in reverse, allowing London men to spend more effort, the effect will be unsatisfactory.

Is the "Ilawara riot" considered a big deal?

Obviously it doesn't count. Hundreds of white Irish descendants were suppressed in the riots. This is a trivial matter that makes people uninterested in the afternoon tea chats of the upper class in London, and no one cares about it at all.

Think about it

During the unprecedented famine in Ireland from 1845 to 1850, the powerful London government remained indifferent to this and allowed nearly one-quarter of the population to die of hunger. How many years have passed?

At that time, Britain had just completed its first industrial revolution, occupying one-quarter of the world's vast colonies, and was in the early prosperity of Victoria. As long as the fingers were exposed, it was enough to provide disaster relief and rescue Irish victims who were close to me.

In fact

London did nothing, but the British nobles and landlords in Ireland were exporting food, allowing the disaster to spread and the Irish people to throw their bodies all over the world. For five years, no one cared about the human tragedy on the Irish island.

Nowadays, as many as 100,000 Irish people travel across the ocean to immigrate to the United States every year. Is the London government concerned?

No, no one cares about these things.

European countries at the end of the 19th century were really cruel in their hearts. They not only cruelly exploited the colonies, but also fiercely to the people inside. When you look at the Third French Republic, which was born in the bloody storm in 1870, you will know that the French died in this turbulent period were dozens of times that of the French-Popular War.

The famous French writer Victor Hugo once described it in "Les Miserables". This period was full of turmoil and killing. Stimulated by the disastrous defeat of the French-Prussian War, the French vented their anger on the nobles and soldiers who lived and died for France during the war, and then the bourgeoisie's cruel suppression of the Paris Commune, and counterattacked...

This is true for Britain and France, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Spain and the Tsarist Russian Empire. They used black muzzles to brutally suppress internal uprisings, and there was constant internal and external wars, and there was almost no time to calm down.

Citiland is not much better. The unprecedentedly tragic Civil War has only been over 24 years since the end of the country, and that deep scar remains in the hearts of the people.

In such an era of prey on the weak, how difficult is it to cause a big news that attracts London attention?

This is both a road of no return and a road of life that can be put to death. Along the way, the thorny beings pave the road to the future with their corpses. Maybe it is heaven or hell...

Victoria has a good plan, but she can't get the answer she wants from Sir Morgan McLaury. It is impossible for London to turn her attention here without anything happening. The master of London has no time to deal with these irrelevant and itchy things.

Once Victoria and New South Wales unite to break the current deadlock, it will inevitably lead to the thunderous anger of the Earl of Queensland. What follows is the strong suppression of Red Fort. No one is sure whether they can withstand the first wave.

If you do nothing, you can only watch the fall of the Southern Autonomous Prefecture.

This creates a paradox: whoever moves first will be unlucky, and it will be even worse if he doesn't move, that's a dead end.

A battle for interests is to live to the death, and you can't get any warmth.

"Sir Morgan, can you be sure that New South Wales and Victoria are acting together?" Sir Matthew Crowley asked in a dry tone after a long silence.

Sir Morgan McLaurray replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Speaker, Ben Stevens and I have reached an agreement on this, and have secretly organized some of the forces and materials. As long as we unite, we will remain the masters of Australia. God bless you, those Easterners will never be able to defeat us in this land. I am confident that this is true."

"I will try my best to convince the Governor and to be unified in the upper class of Victoria, but we still need time to prepare, guns, cannons and war horses, and to reserve enough food. So many things may not be completed in a short time."

"I understand very well, but we still have time... don't we?" Morgan McLaury smiled confidently, the arrogance of the Englishman was revealed in him, and the eyes were filled with danger. "As long as we reach a tacit understanding and unite, we have the ability to turn the tables in New South Wales and build Sydney into an invincible fortress in a short time. We have enough people to do this, oh... By the way, there is Mr. Babos who just left. I think he will be very willing to donate a large sum to equip us with an additional cavalry division."

"This is good news. Victoria has enough financial resources to stockpile arms food. Now we are short of time."

"Please rest assured that Mr. Speaker, you will have enough time to prepare. Can I understand that the two sides have reached an agreement on this?"

"Yes, Sir Morgan, Victoria must fight to defend its traditional way of life."

"That's great. I will send this news to London as soon as possible and pray for God's blessing. I hope we can teach these abominable Orientals a lesson to understand who is the real authority in this world of Australia?"

"I agree with you very much, Sir Morgan." Sir Matthew Crowley greeted the very gentlemanly head, and the two looked at each other and laughed happily.

As leaders of white conservative far-right parties in New South Wales and Victoria, the tacit understanding formed by both sides undoubtedly opened the door to dangerous war.

As for Tasmania, it is just a little brother who is so good at it. It has nothing to do with the impact of the overall situation, but it is more like a character who waving and shouting.

Seriously, they do have the ability and strength to say this. As of October 1889, there were a total of 2.17 million white descendants across Australia, which is 37% more than in history, perhaps because of the direct impact of the butterfly effect.

Among these white populations, about 1.72 million white descendants living in New South Wales (Sydney and south) and Victoria, if mobilized by the whole nation, they could form a huge army of 300,000, accounting for more than 18% of the total population.

In ordinary society, the 10:1 mobilization ratio is already the limit.

The reason why we have such a strong mobilization ability is mainly because the white population in Australia is relatively old, the adult male population is much higher than the female population, and the corresponding military potential is stronger.

Whether it is Sir Morgan McLaury or Sir Matthew Crowley, they are full of confidence in such a huge white armed force, which is also their true confidence in making dangerous moves.

They firmly believe that a white militia could defeat ten Eastern people.

Don't ask why, it's just so confident.

Not long afterwards

Victoria has successively issued large orders of food and weapons, imported supplies through various channels, and prepared them in full swing.

In order to keep confidentiality, the demand for materials related to New South Wales was also transferred to Victoria to organize imports. Conservative leaders Morgan Mike Laurie and Ben Stevens have frequent activities, secretly contacting conservatives from all sides and forming offensive and defensive alliances.

The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building, this is an uneasy and turbulent time.
