"Victoria, Victoria! Wake up! Queen Victoria of England was awakened from her sweet sleep by the hurried voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for the situation in the American Empire, the situation is also more satisfactory, and Henry Bush, chairman of the Socialist Workers' Party of the United States, has accepted the will of the Empress and is ready to take office as prime minister and form a cabinet...... Although he demanded a debt relief program and the expansion of the Imperial American Army, he also pledged allegiance to himself. Obviously, the Americans will not have the idea of independence until they defeat Donghua.

The only thing that makes people unhappy is that the Germans are unwilling to give up their damn neutrality, and are still dreaming of staying out of the situation and waiting until they are exhausted on all fronts to come out and pick up the bargain, as they did last time against Russia. But this is also to be expected, Wilhelm I and Bismarck were originally two old foxes! However, they have at least stated that they will not side with France. This meant that the French had less of a strong army at their disposal, and it also meant that the Austrians were able to challenge French hegemony on the European continent. Franz Joseph is already a little eager to try it! Once he has put an end to Serbia's resistance, he will definitely make a move.

As for Russia, Alexander II also showed his cards - they will remain neutral no matter what. But that's enough. Russia's neutrality means that Chinese will not hit the Urals...... And Britain was no longer obliged to aid Russia. And. Even if Russia does not enter the war. The Chinese also had to keep strong garrisons in Central Asia and Eastern Siberia just in case.

Her Majesty, who was in a good mood, pulled Prince Albert for some exercise in bed last night...... Albert's physical strength doesn't seem to be improving. However, the empress was woken up so eagerly when she was asleep in contentment, and was reminiscing in her dream about the pleasant times when she had just been married thirty years ago!

The Empress yawned and sat up from the soft bed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a bald head with a wrinkled face...... It took dozens of seconds for the Empress to realize that the owner of this head was her dear Albert, and that she was really unforgiving!

"Dear Albert, what's going on? Can't I even enjoy a quiet night? What's the important thing that makes you yell like this? ”

Prince Albert gritted his teeth and said, "Victoria! A telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from our embassy in Petersburg. At noon today, Tsar Alexander II of Russia was assassinated on the Hermitage Square in Petersburg! The Russian tsar is dead! ”

The Empress rose to her bed and stepped barefoot on the carpet. Alexander II is dead! Alexander, who had pursued her and almost replaced Albert as her husband, had been assassinated!

Victoria walked around the bedroom a few times barefoot and stomped her feet on the carpet, "Oh God! Who killed Alexander? Who committed this heinous crime? She looked at Albert, "Who is the Russian tsar now?" Is it Nikolai, the sick man? ”

Faced with a series of questions from his wife, Albert replied in a low tone like a funeral: "There is a murderer who has been caught red-handed, and after interrogation, it has been determined that it was the work of the Russian Narodnaya Volta!" It was the killers sent by the Polish headquarters of Narodnaya Narodnaya who killed the Tsar! Crown Prince Nikolai was also present at the time and witnessed the murder of the Tsar. Now that he has taken over the power, he is ready to ascend the throne as Nicholas II! ”

"Sick man Nicholas II." Queen Victoria muttered under her breath. She thought. It would be nice if she married Alexander II. In this way, England and Russia would become a common pair of kings, and they would never let a sick person inherit the throne.

"Did Nicholas II swear to avenge his father?" Victoria asked again.

"Not only to swear, but also to prepare to put it into practice." "He has already indicated to our ambassador in Petersburg that Russia can take the side of Britain on the condition that Poland is occupied!" ”

"Occupy Poland?" The Empress shouted. "So...... Will the German Reich agree? ”

"Of course it's impossible to agree." Albert's face was ugly. Although the Germans had just issued a statement condemning the assassination of the Tsar, they also asked the government of the Republic of Poland to assist the Russians in the arrest of the culprits. But this does not mean that Germany will watch the Russian army march into Poland! How far is Warsaw from Berlin? It was also easy to take Danzesk from Poland. Under these circumstances, how could Germany allow the Russian army to march into Poland? If Germany were to go to war with Russia, it would most likely strengthen its relations with France. And the Franco-German alliance could not be defeated! There are simply no land forces on the European continent that can defeat France and Germany.

"So, what are we going to do?" Empress Victoria is no longer in charge. "France and Germany are going to be united, and the British Empire is going to end...... Now, is it really going to be over? ”

Albert shook his head, "Not necessarily, now it's up to Mathilde and Zhu Jishi to play their cards!" ”

……

It was still daytime when Ying Tianfu got the news of the Tsar's assassination here, in fact, they were in London at about the same time, but because of the time difference, it was already the morning of the next day. In the main hall of the Qinzheng Hall of the Hot Spring Palace, the heads of the Ming Cabinet and the Generalissimo's Mansion gathered together, Zhu Jishi sat on the throne of the Great Hall, and the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong sat beside him.

"Your Majesty, Ambassador Zeng Jize in Petersburg has sent a telegram saying that the Russian side hopes to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty and France to jointly oppose Britain and its lackey Poland."

Most of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shang Zhao Liewen walked in, bowed to the emperor on the throne, and reported the latest news. The international situation after the death of Alexander II can only be described as changing rapidly. Russia, which had already made up its mind to be neutral, was now preparing for war with Poland - which meant that Russia's expansion was once again turning to the West. This was intolerable to neither the German Empire nor the Holy Roman Empire, for the former Poland was like a spear piercing the heart of Germany! For the latter, Russia's next expansion after defeating Germany and Poland and occupying Poland would definitely be the Balkans! The Slavs there were waiting day and night for the Russians to liberate them!

Besides, the Russian tsar also added the title of Eastern Roman Emperor to himself, and if there was no Balkan Peninsula, this Eastern Roman Emperor would not look like it!

Hearing the latest news, the ministers in the main hall all buzzed and discussed.

"That's the good news! After forming an alliance with Russia, there is no need to worry about the affairs of the northwest, as long as it develops to the east and south with all its might. ”

But what about the attitude of France? They had made a statement to protect the Republic of Poland. Now that Russia has made it clear that it wants to destroy Poland, France will inevitably declare war on Russia! ”

"Why did France declare war on Russia? Russia's westward advance infringed on the interests of Germany and Austria, and they had their own to fight Russia. France just waits and sees, and the French are mostly neutral. ”

"If France is neutral, we can join forces with Russia, even if it declares war on Germany and Austria. Anyway, we can't reach Deao. ”

"If we declare war on Germany and Austria, Britain will definitely support Germany and Austria...... In this way, can Britain, Germany and Austria win against us and Russia? ”

"You don't have to defeat Germany and Austria, just let Russia hold on. Let's concentrate on defeating Britain, and if we defeat Britain, we will be able to dominate the oceans and North America. The French would do well to remain neutral. Anyway, we don't have any interest in Latin America and Africa, so let's let them live on their own. ”

China and Russia vs Yingd, Germany and Austria, France plays soy sauce? Zhu Jishi thought to himself, it would be good if this was the case! If Russia can't stop it, there will be a revolution, and it is very likely that there will be a Great Germany in Central Europe, and the British Empire will fight half to death, leaving them to contain each other with France, Great Germany, and Soviet Russia. In this way, the world empire of the Ming Dynasty can sit back and relax...... However, whether this wishful thinking can be achieved depends on how the French play their cards.
