Salisbury was powerless to refute what Hermann had said. Britain had indeed started the war first, which essentially established Britain as the party chiefly responsible for it. Yet that did not stop Salisbury from shifting the blame onto East Africa.

"Our original intention in launching this war was entirely to maintain peace and stability in the region. East Africa itself is the most destabilizing factor in Africa. From the time the Kingdom of Hechingen opened up its first colony until now, East Africa's territory has expanded directly to more than ten thousand square kilometers. Therefore, your Kingdom of East Africa is the most evil country in Africa's history. Those lands were all snatched from the natives' hands. That sounds more like the Russians..." Salisbury said without holding his tongue.

"Cough, cough..." The Russian representative, Chernyshevsky, spoke up with an ugly expression to voice his displeasure. As expected, no ivory could come out of a British dog's mouth.

Salisbury also realized he had misspoken and hurriedly changed the subject. "Of course, although Russia's territory is vast, Russia itself has a long history, whereas East Africa acquired such an expanse of land in merely a few decades. It can be called the most aggressive country in the world."

Judging from the results alone, Salisbury was entirely correct. East Africa truly was a rather greedy country. Of course, put another way, there was nothing wrong with saying Ernst was greedy.

Yet there were few countries or politicians in this world who were not greedy. Ernst had seized the opportunity of the times. Since he had the ability to swallow so much land yet simply let it go, that would have been a betrayal of his ambitions. What Heaven bestowed but was not taken would bring calamity in return.

Just like Angola and Mozambique
