But at this time, things changed dramatically.

Under the tremendous pressure of the people, the three kingdoms of England, the Netherlands, and the Francos had decided to unite and organize a three-nation alliance to attack the Great Zhou through the land route of the Rus' country.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Alexander II, the emperor of the Rus' kingdom, suddenly said: "If you three countries want to pass through the Rus' country, you must pay at least one million gold francs in tolls." ”

"I think the emperor of the Rus' Kingdom is crazy about money!" After receiving the exact news, British Prime Minister Tony Blair did not know how many tea cups he had broken, but he still did not dispel the anger in his heart.

By this time, England had reached an agreement with the Netherlands and Franco, and had mobilized 100,000 troops, and was ready to cross the ocean to Petersburg in Rus'.

At this time, he actually received this news, which shows how bad Blair's mood is.

It seems that Alexander II also knew that his request was excessive, so he sent Foreign Secretary Lopunov to London to personally lobby the top of the English government.

After meeting the English Prime Minister Tony Blair, Lopunov said: "His Majesty the Emperor of our country really did not have this idea before, but the people of our country did not want to.

After all, the Triple Alliance forces pass through our territory, and if they do not collect a penny, the Triple Alliance is indeed suspected of violating our sovereignty.

Therefore, after much consideration, His Majesty the Emperor of our country made this decision to collect a symbolic toll of one million gold francs, so that he could give an account to our people! ”

"Hah!" Upon hearing Lopunov's explanation, Blair almost laughed angrily, "I never thought that His Majesty the Emperor of your country would care so much about the opinions of the people!" ”

Although Blair's words were full of irony, Lopunov had to reply stiffly: "It is true, His Majesty the Emperor has always put the attitude of our people first. ”

"In that case, as the Prime Minister of the British Cabinet, I now officially inform His Excellency Lopunov that from today, my British Empire will officially withdraw from the Triple Alliance!"

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you're not joking, are you?" Hearing this, Lopunov was taken aback.

"You think I'm joking?" Blair sneered, "In that case, I will go to the palace now to ask Her Majesty to issue official credentials!" ”

After saying that, without waiting for Lopnov to argue, Blair hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Office.

Coming to Buckingham Palace, Blair let out a sigh of relief and said to Her Majesty with a smile: "Your Majesty, the matter has been done, as long as you issue an official credential to the Rus' Kingdom now, the British Empire can justifiably withdraw from the Triple Alliance!" ”

"Really? That's great! Hearing this, Her Majesty the Queen had a smile on her face that she hadn't seen for many days, "The empire has already suffered a fiasco at the hands of Da Zhou, and if it fails again, I'm afraid that the empire's face will not be able to be saved at all."

Before, I was worried about how to withdraw the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but I didn't expect that the Rus Kingdom would take the initiative to send it to the door, so that Di Guoping could also withdraw justifiably. ”

In fact, neither Her Majesty nor Prime Minister Tony Blair wants another conflict with Da Zhou.

But during this time, the pressure at home was too great, and Her Majesty the Queen and Blair had to stubbornly issue a war mobilization order.

But for the outcome of this war, in fact, neither of them has much hope.

But after learning that the Rus' country was going to impose high tolls on England, the Netherlands, and Franco, Prime Minister Tony Blair saw hope.

On the one hand, Blair pretended to be very angry and concealed everyone, and on the other hand, Blair quietly discussed with Her Majesty the Queen how to borrow the hand of the Russ State and justifiably withdraw from the Triple Alliance, and would not make the people disgusted and protest.

Now that things are finally going to work, how can the two not be excited?

Her Majesty hastily wrote a letter of state, and Prime Minister Tony Blair formally presented it to the Foreign Minister of the Rus' State, Lopunov.

After seeing off Lopnov, Blair personally went to the House of Lords and invited the media to officially announce the withdrawal of England from the Triple Alliance.

As for the reason?

Blair had already thought about it.

"Although the British Empire is rich, it is not a big deal, and anyone can loot it, so in my capacity as Prime Minister, I would like to formally apologize to all members of parliament and the whole country.

Because of the fact that the Rus' country suddenly had to levy high tolls, the British Empire had to withdraw from the Triple Alliance! ”

"But Your Excellency the Prime Minister!" Some parliamentarians objected, "Although the toll of one million gold francs is a lot, it is not impossible to get the strength of the empire, not to mention that the Netherlands and Francois share it, why did you make such a hasty decision to withdraw from the coalition?" ”

Blair replied: "Because the demands made by the Rus' state are unreasonable. Now that the army of the empire has not yet set foot on the land of the Rus' country, the Rus' country has made such a request.

And what about once the soldiers of the Empire set foot on the land of Rus'? Have you ever thought about it?

If the Empire easily agreed to the Rus' request this time, then the next time the Rus' asked the Empire for three million or five million gold francs in other names, would the Empire give it or not?

If you give it, it can only further boost the arrogance of the Rus' country, and next time it will definitely open its mouth to blackmail the empire.

But if you don't give it, the Rus country will cut off the logistics of the empire's military land, I don't know if you have thought about it, what should the empire do at that time?

So after considering many reasons, I was forced to make the decision I am now. ”

The next day, Prime Minister Tony Blair's speech in the House of Lords was reported verbatim by the media.

For a time, the entire English people scolded the Rus' country, and the foreign minister of the Rus' country, Lopunov, shouted and beat everyone like a rat crossing the street, and did not dare to come forward again.

Seeing that the matter on the English side was a foregone conclusion, Lopunov had to leave England for Francois and the Netherlands.

However, after learning that England had refused to send troops, the Netherlands and Francois also disembarked and announced their withdrawal from the coalition forces.

As the global hegemon, England does not want to fight this war, and the Netherlands and Franco, which are far inferior to England, do not want to fight this war.

If England had taken the lead at the beginning, they could barely have sent some troops to accompany them, which was a show.

If the war is won, they get a piece of the pie. Even if the war is lost, their losses will not be great.

It can be said that the two countries of the Netherlands and Francois have a very good calculation.

After a series of closed doors in the Netherlands and Franco, Lopunov had no choice but to return home in disgrace and make a mission to Alexander II......
