Hearing the Minister of War Persini say this, Emperor Louis's face was even more ugly!

He had always considered the French Empire to be the number one power on the European continent. Aside from the fact that the navy is indeed incomparable with the British, in terms of the army, the French Empire has not been afraid of anyone.

At the beginning, his uncle, Napoleon the Great, led the French Imperial legions across the European continent and was invincible. Later, although he was defeated, it was only because of the cold and sickness that he suffered from in the perverted weather of Tsarist Russia, and was besieged by the armies of all European countries. But the army of the French Empire was never to be taken lightly. As the successor of Napoleon the Great, he now attaches great importance to the development of the army, and puts the army in an important position. In the whole of Europe, even the elite British infantry and the Tsarist Russian army, which numbered more than one million, must be ranked behind the French Imperial Army.

But now it's not one person who says this, it's most of his henchmen who say this, especially the Minister of War, who can't believe it.

Therefore, Louie's face is very ugly! In terms of the proud army, he will certainly not be in a good mood when compared to the Chinese Empire. What's more, Persini also said that the artillery and gunpowder of the other side are very advanced. This has always been what France is good at, and the Chinese Empire still bought inferior smoothbore guns and other weapons from the French Empire when it was fighting the country.

Hearing this, Louis snorted coldly and said, "Percini, is it possible that nearly 500,000 troops of my French Empire are vegetarians?" The British army has less than 200,000 elite infantry, and Tsarist Russia only sent about 100,000 Cossacks, in exchange for our French Empire, and directly sent 300,000 troops, who can resist? It's just that the distance is too far and the supply is a problem, otherwise it will ......"

Persini did not agree, but admonished: "Your Majesty must not be careless. It is true that the army of our French Empire was the first in Europe, and after this war, the strength of Britain and Russia was greatly damaged, and our France was even more firmly in the position of the first power in Europe. But we must not underestimate other countries.

The Kingdom of Prussia, which has always tried to unify Germany, has grown rapidly in recent years through trade and funding with the Chinese Empire, and its standing elite army has 340,000 people, and because of the formal promotion of the implementation of the universal compulsory military service system since the previous year, the number of reserve troops is several times more than that of the standing army, and they fight wars all year round, have a mature staff system and mobilization system, if a large-scale war really occurs, they can call a million army to participate in the war within 3-5 months, and they have become our fierce enemies!

And that Eastern Empire is even more perverted. They now have an estimated 1 million regular standing troops, as well as reserve and local garrisons, estimated at 1 million. The point is that they are still expanding violently, and the rate of adding 200,000 troops every year for several years has been expanding. Judging from the situation of the Battle of Bengal, the combat strength of the regular standing field army of the Chinese Empire obviously exceeded that of the elite British troops transferred from the European mainland, which fully showed that their army was very strong.

Such a terrorist country, Your Majesty, it is better for us not to tear our faces and fight hard with it. ”

Persini finished speaking in one breath, and when it came to the last Chinese Empire, he looked like a ghost.

However, his expression touched Louie very much. Louis knew that his war minister had always been a general who was not afraid of being killed from a mountain of corpses and blood, and helped him launch a coup d'état to ascend to the throne. Even if he was so jealous of that Prussia and the Chinese Empire, it really showed that the armies of these two countries were really very powerful, so powerful that the ministers of the French Empire, who had always been proud, were afraid.

State Secretary Walewski added: "Sir Percini said yes! Your Majesty, I have been to the Chinese Empire, and I have conducted joint military and American affairs with it in the Americas, so I know the Eastern Empire quite well. Their changes are really amazing, and it is better not to be an enemy, or not to be an enemy.

Originally, when the British launched the second expeditionary force against China, I speculated that the British would suffer a lot this time, but I didn't expect it to be true, and the fiasco of the British expeditionary force was faster and more complete than I imagined! And through this war, the powerful military power of the Chinese Empire was much stronger than I imagined.

Your Majesty, it is not me to belittle the French Empire, which inevitably went into decline after the defeat of England and the loss of its colonies in India and Ireland and Australia, and we in France are now the number one power in Europe. But what I want to say is that today Europe and the West can no longer represent the whole world, and the number one power in Europe is no longer the number one power in the world! The Chinese Empire, with its powerful economy, the world's largest population, and its largest territory, is bound to become the number one military power.

Even if they are a little worse economically and militarily than England or us in France at the moment, they will surpass us in a year or two, given their terrible growth rate over the past few years!

And the principles of British diplomacy that we have treated in the past will be turned to the Chinese Empire. ”

Seeing that all his cronies had this attitude, Louis smiled bitterly. He was just about to say something, when his attendant hurriedly barged in with a report: "Your Majesty, an urgent telegram from London, the British Parliament has approved two items, one is to vote no confidence in all the members of the British Cabinet except the Chancellor of the Exchequer, including the Prime Minister Sir Derby, forcing them to resign; Second, the resolution submitted by the cabinet members to stop hostility with the Chinese Empire, restore relations and start negotiations to settle the dispute. Moreover, Queen Victoria of England also publicly expressed her approval of the resolution of Parliament, and the British swallowed their own bitter wine! ”

The attendant was visibly gloating. Hearing this, the ministers present all looked like this, obviously, they had already guessed this attitude of the United Kingdom.

But Emperor Louis was stunned!

The shock in his heart was different from the calm of these ministers.

What he never expected was that the British cabinet ministers were all ousted by parliamentarians because of this war!

And the British parliamentarians, because of the defeat in this war, collectively bowed their heads and proudly confessed their cowardice.

Even the invincible Queen Victoria even confessed to this, and agreed to give in to the eastern countries that were previously easy to preach!
