"Your Majesty has not yet heard from you, but the Cabinet has issued an opinion asking us not to let the Spaniards destroy a ship belonging to the United Kingdom at all costs, or else we will bear the consequences!"

The first mate glanced at General James's face and said cautiously, for fear that His Excellency the General would lose his temper.

"Smack - damn it, I, as the Minister of the Admiralty, belong only to His Majesty the King, when did I have anything to do with the Cabinet? Besides, it is the duty of our navy to maintain the security of the kingdom, and they don't need to say much! ”

Sure enough, when General James heard this, he immediately slapped the side of the ship with his right hand, and after a loud bang, his eyes widened, and as his palm became red, the cruel words also sounded in the cabin.

"So, I'll just reply?" The first mate looked at James and asked tremblingly and cautiously.

"No need, it's just a trifle!" Who knows, James waved his right hand, which was gradually red and swollen, and said disdainfully and lightly, as if nothing had happened just now.

Seeing this, the first mate showed a constipated expression on his face, and his face was slightly red, and it could be seen that he was holding back very uncomfortable.

At this time, the Palace of Westminster, the huge palace that served as the parliament building and the cabinet, the exclusive office of the king, had been empty for a long time, and finally waited for its owner.

It's just that its owner is in a bad mood.

"Damn Spaniard, damn God......" Edward was so angry that his face turned pale, and he didn't care about anything in his heart, he paced back and forth three steps left and right, and then cursed loudly on his lips, no matter if he was a god or a Spaniard, he could be scolded anyway.

As King of the United Kingdom, Edward had never been so out of shape, nor had he ever been so angry and humiliated since he had single-handedly laid the foundations of the Kingdom.

From the time he came, Edward felt that he was superior to others, and his dignity was inviolable, and no one dared to violate it.

At this time, the Spaniards only gathered a group of armed transport ships, and they were able to directly break the blockade of the United Navy and come directly to the mouth of the Thames, showing off a great sense of existence.

As we all know, the distance between London and the mouth of the sea is only a few hundred miles, and if you go upstream, you can directly invade London, which is equivalent to showing off your might at your own doorstep.

It was a provocation, a great provocation, not only for the United Kingdom, but also for his dignity as a King.

"James. Rio Shesley, as the Minister of the Kingdom's Navy, can't even do this little thing, what is the use of me as a Minister of the Navy? Yes? ”

Looking at His Majesty the King who was panting, his chest was constantly fluctuating up and down because of his shortness of breath, and His Excellency the Prime Minister on the side showed a little anxious on his face, but his eyes were extremely calm.

Clearly, he didn't take the violation as a big deal.

"Your Majesty, for now, it is better to figure out the plans of this group of Spaniards, so that we can make a plan."

Thomas. As the prime minister, Marne has always had a good look, and when he found that His Majesty's anger was almost gone, he spoke out without hurry and said his plan.

"Someone, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book, and ask our esteemed Admiralty Minister, what is the specific situation!" The secretary who was standing on the side immediately agreed, and then chose to leave.

After a few words of sarcasm in a feminine tone, His Majesty recovered.

He first tidied up his clothes, then looked in the mirror, looked at his handsome face, calmed down a bit, and then sat up and half lay down.

"Do you have any suggestions over there?" Edward shook his head, looked at the motionless Prime Minister, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, for now, it is most appropriate to respond to all changes with the same!" The prime minister pondered for a moment, and then said softly:

"Although the Spaniards have only gathered some colonial ships, the scale is still so huge, not much smaller than our navy, and at this moment, the kingdom's navy still has to face a lot of pressure!"

Although the truth is a bit cruel, His Excellency the Prime Minister can only tell this fact, this unspeakable truth.

"Therefore, we can only supervise the actions of the Spaniards at this time, and we cannot make any hasty moves! The time is not yet ripe! ”

Hearing this, Edward's heart suddenly calmed down.

These were just some of Spain's transport ships to North America, and its real main force was still in the Mediterranean with the vast Ottoman Empire.

Act now, with no intention of looking for death.

Edward's heart was as cold as if it had been watered.

"Go, fly the pigeon and pass the book, let General James pay attention to it, and keep an eye on the movements of the Spaniards!"

After some careful thought in his heart, Edward sighed heavily, sat down in his chair, his hands hanging limply, closed his eyes, and whispered.

"If the Spaniards dare to attack, they can directly counterattack and defeat them in one fell swoop!" Finally, Edward added in a deep voice.

Having received a reply from His Majesty, James quickly sent his men to keep an eye on the Spaniards as they followed their fleet step by step, following them in humiliating hundreds of miles away from the coast before gradually returning home.

The shock of the Spanish move to the whole United Kingdom was unparalleled.

"Starting today, the Cabinet will set aside a budget as the start-up fund for the Navy's growth and completion plan.

Among them, the tasks are: within three years, to build five docks capable of producing ships of more than 1,000 tons; training and training of at least 10,000 seafarers; the total tonnage of naval vessels, which reached the rank of two-thirds of Spain; Carry out new ship design and modification to give the Royal Navy an advantage ......"

At the first emergency enlarged meeting of the United Kingdom, in the face of more than 30 high-ranking officials from the four major regions and important officials of the central, judicial, and military departments, Edward also did not give a good face, and announced loudly with a blushing face.

The officials sitting below him can feel the heartfelt anger of His Majesty the King, even if they are already the top politicians in the kingdom, but bowing their heads is still their best choice at this time.

"Also, privateer licenses will be issued in large quantities, just keep an eye on them!" With a calm step, His Majesty the King had a gloomy face, and the smile on his face was chilling.

"That is, Spaniards, no longer on the list of restraints!"

"Increase funding for the Netherlands, and encourage them to take advantage of their current advantages to eat the more than 10,000 Spanish troops trapped in the Brussels area!"

"Send someone to contact the Portuguese to discuss the suitability of the two navies to cooperate in acting!"

"Send someone to the Ottoman Empire, submit the credentials, and revisit the cooperative relationship between the two countries......"

Edward made many moves, sparing no expense, in order to speed up the fall of the Spanish Empire and push it on.

"Spaniard, you forced me first!" Edward squinted his eyes and said grimly.

"If I don't kill you, didn't I cross for nothing?"
