For Britain, maritime interests are unchallengeable, and although the Dakar was bombed by the French, the British were secretly happy, but the entire British government was quite nervous about such a ghostly warship.

Because the information was so scarce, vague and sensational, Britain still did not dare to be sure that the battleship belonged to the Ryukyus, nor did they believe that Prussia's industrial level could build such a warship.

Therefore, the search and arrest plan in the Atlantic Ocean has invested the most warships, but the caliber and tone of external propaganda are still very low, and even the British government thinks that this is an excuse for the stupid French to hide their weakness.

In the eyes of these British politicians, Napoleon's nephew, the mighty France, did not even win the Ryukyus, and signed a humiliating treaty, such a country should be removed from the list of great powers.

God knows what happened in Dakar, and they would rather believe that Victoria's father-in-law, William I, did it, than admit that the Chinese have such skills.

It wasn't until the mysterious battleship of the Battle of Iquique reappeared a few days ago that the British government was shocked, and then they began to face up to the Dakar shelling battle more than two months ago, and now they have finally figured out that that warship is Xiao Lotian's killer weapon.

Humiliation, a strong sense of humiliation welled up in their hearts, and the politicians who had previously ridiculed Chinese impossible to do such a thing forgot what they had said before and began to accuse the Derby Prime Minister of being incompetent, idiotic, and indecisive...... Anyway, all the dirty water was poured on this old man.

Anyway, Earl Derby's popularity is not very good, and he has offended many people with his stinky temper all his life, and now there are really many people who have fallen into the well.

Of course, the Earl of Derby was furious, and the Chinese and Prussians joined forces to turn the British around, which made him feel very humiliated. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the battleship is a battleship or not, with Britain's industrial strength and shipbuilding level, as long as you can roughly understand the intelligence of that battleship, or have a hand-drawn map, you can imitate a battleship with better performance.

The foundation of the empire on which the sun never sets will not be defeated by a single warship! But this humiliation is completely unacceptable to the British, who already rule the world.

At present, this top-secret information has not been made public, and the newspapers have only sporadically published some clips of the Battle of Iquique, and the public does not know that the ghost ship that shelled the Dakar has reappeared in South America.

However, intelligence cannot be hidden from big people, and the real power faction in the upper and lower houses has long been ready to move, and they not only want to teach Prussia and the Chinese a lesson, but more importantly, they want to teach a lesson to Count Derby.

This nasty old man, who has been prime minister for three terms, should be content, and now that the gout is so serious, should he still occupy the prime minister's seat? He must give way and let Benjamin go.

During this time, the Earl of Derby kept internal and external pressures, and even the queen sent someone to comfort his body, Derby knew that the queen was talking about her gout on the surface, but in fact, the subtext was obvious: 'Are you okay? Can you withstand it?' If you can't do it, then make it clear, you have cooperated for half a lifetime, how can the royal family have to give you a step down, let you abdicate with honor! You can't really be impeached and go into the wild......

Derby smiled bitterly and shook his head, they all said that Britain is hypocrite, but this sentence can't be applied to Queen Victoria, this old lady's reputation is too high, who dares to say that she doesn't say a word, the entire British people can tear that life apart.

Just when Derby was having a headache, an unexpected visitor suddenly came "Your Excellency...... Mr. Benjamin, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, came to visit out of the blue!"

Derby was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the two attacks in South America, where British citizens had died tragically, had made Benjamin impatient, and he decided to fight a decisive battle.

"Benjamin, please...... Take out that bottle of whiskey from my treasure and get some ice cubes along the way!"

Benjamin Disraeli. A thin little old man with a goatee, a neat top hat, two thick eyebrows that are very refreshing, and his eyes are sharp and shining.

To say that he is an old man is, of course, to compare himself with the young waiter, and in front of Derby, he is still a junior who must take the initiative to bow.

"Haha, Benjamin, you came by chance, I just opened a bottle of aged whiskey, come and taste it......"

Benjamin smiled and handed his hat to the waiter behind him, took the wine from the Prime Minister of Derby, and said with a smile, "How is the gout of the Prime Minister......?

"Hahaha...... At my age, I have reached the age where there are no taboos, what is the difference between drinking less and drinking more? I have decided to submit my resignation next year, my body is really unbearable!"

Benjamin didn't expect Prime Minister Derby, this grumpy old man to take the initiative to say such a thing, he was stunned and quickly put the wine glass on the table and said.

"Prime Minister, you have misunderstood me! I know that there are indeed many voices in the upper and lower houses who want me to replace you, and I do not hide my covetousness for the position of prime minister...... However, the foundation of everything can only be won on the basis of not harming the interests of the empire on which the sun never sets! This is my bottom line......

"I'm not here to put pressure on you today, but to give you advice...... As a politician of the Empire, I implore you!"

Benjamin suddenly stood up and bowed to the Prime Minister of the Derby and said, "Please give the Prime Minister the order to go to war! That Ryukyu in the East must be erased, and the arrogant Xiao Lotian must die!"

"Dead?" Derby didn't expect Benjamin to say such a thing, he was silent for a moment and suddenly asked rhetorically, "Benjamin...... You're an old politician, why would you make such a request, it's not something you can say?"

"What excuse do we use to go to war against the Ryukyus? Does Xiao Lotian have any tricks in our hands? If we start a war rashly, how can we explain it to Europe?"

What's more, the conflict between Xiao Lotian and the Russians has intensified now, and that fool of the Far Eastern Volunteers knows that Xiao Letian made a ghost...... What is the enemy of the enemy? Someone is helping us to restrain the Russians, and you are going to war against him?"

"Not only that, you know very well the relationship between Xiao Lotian and Prussia, how do you explain the Prussian side of declaring war on Xiao Letian? Besides, don't you also agree with this strategy of helping Prussia teach France a lesson?"

"We're the boss of the world, and now France is second second, and it's not a good thing to have third, fourth, or even fifth place fighting back and forth, and to rotate people for second place?

"If you don't give me a good explanation, then I doubt that you are capable of leading this country!"
