The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

As one of the leaders of the Irish at this time, Daniel O'Connell has indeed received the attention of the British government personally, and has received many personal honors and monetary rewards.

But O'Connell's allies, the Whigs, who had brought down Robert Peel's Tories, failed to fulfill their promise to solve the famine.

In fact, the new Prime Minister John Russell at this time is facing a much more difficult mess than he imagined.

Robert Peel represents a conservative but plays with free trade. Naturally, it is impossible for him to remain in office for a long time.

A split ensued within the Tory Party, and Robert Peel had to submit his resignation to Parliament.The Whigs came to power and found chaos everywhere, with lost wars and intractable threats dispersing the nation's forces.

The global hegemony with the French is a bottomless pit, especially since the Russians actually sold Alaska to Louis Philippe. Now the French can directly threaten the British Canadian colony.

What's more terrible is that the Russians are ready to move. Even if they are fighting a civil war, they don't forget to spy on the land near the Black Sea.

The complete failure of the Jewish state plan not only affected Britain's reputation, but also changed the Ottoman attitude towards Britain.

After the new US president found that he could not continue to invade the south, he aimed his finger at Canada, demanding the monopoly of Oregon, and redrawing the northern border with the United Kingdom.

Of course, as the toughest president in American history, James Polk is not a complete reckless man, so he chose the timing of this British government change and made trouble.

John Russell, who had just come to power, was almost overwhelmed by the great gift from the Americans.But this is not the only thing that makes him feel bad. Prince Albert is not satisfied just holding an expo in China.

Prince Albert hopes to promote British products to the world, which can not only show national strength but also open up sales for commodities.

However, in the eyes of economists and politicians at the time, this view was a whimsical joke, and some people even bet on whether this worldwide exposition would plunge Britain into a new crisis due to its heavy debt.

Unfortunately, Prince Albert has the support of Queen Victoria, and John Russell has nothing to do if the royal family insists on going its own way. It is really not a wise move to be tough on the royal family at this time.

In addition, the problem of railway fever has begun to emerge. The construction of railways is changing from a high-input, high-return investment to a high-input, low-return infrastructure project.

The British government is helpless about this, because no matter what it does, it will damage the interests of the United Kingdom in the end, so it simply ignores it.

Cholera in London was spreading across the country, and there was nothing British experts could do to prevent it or treat it.

One can only pray that the disease is not serious, or try laudanum and bloodletting, and some other remedies, but that will have no effect except to make the patient suffer more.

The expansion in the East also fell short of expectations, and there are many reports that a new crisis is brewing on this continent.

At this time, Britain is facing an unprecedented diplomatic crisis, that is, from the east to the west, from the Australian aborigines to the Irish next door, they do not have a single friend.

The Qing Dynasty and Japan in East Asia, Nanming, Chenla, and the Dutch East India Company in Southeast Asia, Afghanistan in Central Asia, Oman and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, and Egypt in North Africa.

Although the Ottoman Empire relied on Britain at this time, it was no longer as obedient as in the past.The French had absolute dominance in the Franco-Spanish Alliance in Western Europe, and France happened to be one of Britain's main competitors for world hegemony.

Central Europe is dominated by Austria. In the past, the German princes and small Italian states that flirted with Britain did not dare to take unnecessary actions under the constraints of the German Customs Union and the Apennines Customs Union. Switzerland is preparing for a civil war.Strictly speaking, there are only two countries in Eastern Europe at this time, Russia and Ottoman, and the peoples in the Balkans can only choose one of these two countries that is not so bad.

Judging from what happened to the British in southern Albania, these three countries are actually quite similar.

The United States, Brazil, Mexico and a series of sub-powers have a bad attitude towards Britain, and even their most loyal younger brother Portugal has a suspicion because of Britain's military operations in southern Brazil.

At this time, Queen Maria II of Portugal was the sister of Emperor Pedro I of Brazil. The two had the same father and mother, so it was impossible to stand on the side of the British emotionally.

Among the low countries, the Netherlands joined the German Confederation, and Belgium was raised in France, which has existed in name only.

It doesn't feel good to be enemies of the whole world. Historically, the British could decide the life and death of a bunch of countries by just holding a diplomatic conference, and they could play tricks on the great powers without spending a single soldier.

But now the situation has changed. The emergence of regional alliances and some small changes in history have brought together the expansion costs of the British to increase exponentially.

In fact, Robert Peel discovered this problem a long time ago, and he also tried to change it, but after going around, he found that he was back to the original point.

In fact, this is not because there is something wrong with the British thinking, but because the rhythm has changed, and everyone is not following its rhythm.

In particular, the failure of the two London Conferences and the rise of Austria (or rather it did not lose its influence and become a follower of the British as it did in history). These events prevented the British influence from reaching the level of one-stop response.

The United Kingdom is an island country, which means that its strategy cannot rely solely on its own army and navy like Russia and France.

John Russell also found this problem, but what he could do was only a small fix, and it didn't really change anything.

But faced with a mountain of pressure, John Russell really couldn't care about the Irish on the banks of the Shannon River.

O'Connell was turned away again and again, and only then did he realize that he was actually an outsider.

By chance, O'Connell learned of the Colonial Department's evil plan. He could no longer tolerate his compatriots being transported and trafficked like livestock.

The two sides immediately struggled with each other. At first, the British Colonial Office planned to conceal the matter, but O'Connell was a social activist after all, and he was familiar with building momentum in the media.

Even big newspapers dare not accept it, but there are always tabloids that want to hit the blockbuster.In the end, finding a wife for the low-level old bachelors in the colony had to be done, because even if it was voluntary in name, it would inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of others.

The pressure on the British government at this time is already too great, and it is completely unnecessary to add too heavy a moral burden for no reason.

Moreover, the countries on the European continent are ready to eat melons and watch the show, and I am afraid that the great England and the barbaric America will not be ranked together after some verbal criticism.

In fact, the reason why O'Connell was able to break through all this was because Franz planned behind it.
