The British Empire's rejection of the Ming Empire's ultimatum was tantamount to choosing war, and a world war had broken out. www.biquge.info When the British newspaper told the British people the news in bold and enlarged font, they were greeted with a tsunami of cheers.

The same situation also appeared in the large cities of the Ming Empire, the Donghua Kingdom, the American Empire, and the Confederate States of America. All the people did not realize the cruelty and prolongation of the war, they only knew that their country was militarily strong, they only knew that they had strong allies to fight side by side, and they only knew that victory belonged to them after all. When the wars broke out between the Russian and German Empires, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Republic of Poland, the people of these countries also cheered. The people of the imperialist countries of this era are not what they are in the 21st century, and they are all very belligerent! If it were Ben. Bin Laden and his men traveling back in time to make trouble will definitely lead to the extinction of the Green Cult......

Outside the window of Buckingham Palace, there are also some British people who are risking to gradually become. Get up in the sun on the parade. Although the worst of these people's troubles has passed. But there are always some energetic and excessively young people who don't seem to have let out their anger. The slogans held up were full of shouting, shouting, killing, and opposing the Yellow Peril. It seems that these slogans can be used to curse the giant warship of the Ming Empire and sink it.

Prince Albert closed the thick velvet curtains, and seemed to leave the angry citizens behind. Because he knew that the British slogans were shouted loudly, but the preparations for war were reluctant. This country is the only one of the great powers that still practices conscription! Although the number of standing armies was comparable to that of the Napoleonic Wars, there were 200,000 men. It's also quite elite. But there is no system of full mobilization. It is completely impossible to quickly raise an army of a million in Britain. Compared with. Or the American Empire and the Confederate States of America mobilized faster. Together, these two countries have mobilized more than 2.5 million troops! And the British Empire, really don't know when it will be able to really arm itself? Hopefully, the lower house of parliament will pass the conscription decree sooner. But even if the bill is passed, it will be impossible for a country that does not have a conscription and mobilization system to quickly transition to conscription. It's a miracle to be able to come up with 1 million to 1.5 million available troops in 12 months.

Therefore, the main force of the land battle in the Americas can only be the Americans. And what can Victoria, as the empress of the American Empire, do now for her people on the other side of the ocean? Order the mighty navy of the British Empire to go around the South China Sea? This is not in the least encouraging to anyone. Because they dare not approach any Chinese coastal city, they will certainly not be able to sink a Chinese ship other than a fishing boat -- the Chinese navy has made it clear that it wants to "protect the ship and avoid war." Because as long as their Grand Fleet existed, the British Navy would not dare to transport a large number of land forces to occupy any important islands controlled by the Chinese. In fact, even if the Chinese Navy is defeated. Nor did Britain have a few land forces to throw on the islands of East Asia or the Pacific.

As for offering a new loan program to the American Empire to help them repay loans they simply do not want to repay, it does not seem to inspire the fighting spirit of the American people, or...... Win their favor! Now that the American Empire has implemented a wartime economic system, the dollar has been decoupled from the pound, and gold and silver and all foreign exchange are forbidden to be bought and sold. And the people of the United States saw the war as their last chance to win the lost fortune and reunite the United States, and the British pound loan was meaningless to them.

As for the supply of weapons and equipment to the United States, it does not seem to be a top priority. Because the Americans simply do not lack army equipment. In the last seven or eight years. The American Empire was in conflict with Donghua almost every day, and the country was a country with a fairly developed heavy industry. Of course, countless guns, ammunition and artillery were produced and ready to be used in a great land war. On the contrary, the British themselves did not have much stock of army weapons. A while ago it was sold to the Austrians a lot, and now it is necessary to step up production.

So, what can the British Empire do for the United States now? Prince Albert certainly knew what this war meant for the United States and Great Britain? These two brotherly countries want to become a whole again, and this war is the last chance. Britain will have to show enough sincerity and enthusiasm to take one or two of the United States into its arms. If the American Empire, the Confederate States of America, and the eastern part of Canada were to form a unified British-American Empire, with Toronto as its capital and Victoria as its monarch, the British Empire would not lose Australia and Western Canada. It is also possible that there will be a revival in the not-too-distant future!

"Victoria, now is the most critical turning point in the history of the British Empire! The American Empire and the Confederate States of America have risen up against the invasion of the yellow race. This represents the cry of the entire white civilization! Listen to the cries of the British people outside the window! ”

Prince Albert pushed open the window of the Queen's office. Although it is far away. But the sound of the people of London cheering for the arrival of war in the streets outside kept coming.

The Prince turned around and looked at Prime Minister Benjamin with blazing eyes. Disraeli's face, which looked old and tired because of hard work day and night, seemed to show a dazzling light, so that the old prime minister, who was already in his seventies, did not dare to look directly.

"Now that the Emperor of China has personally gone to North America to supervise the war, how can the Empress of the British Empire hide in London? Now the people of America have made the greatest determination to go to war. And as the people of Great Britain were preparing for war with China, shouldn't Her Majesty show the same determination and go to North America to fight with her people? The warriors across the ocean are looking forward to their king standing with them. And the people of Great Britain also hope that the Empress will be on the front line of the resistance to the invasion of the Yellow Peril! This is a public opinion that cannot be ignored! Your Excellency the Prime Minister! ”

Benjamin. Disraeli looked at the prince groggily, at the uncrowned king of Great Britain. Of course, he understood what Prince Albert was having. The resources and lands of Great Britain are no longer enough to support a world empire! Isn't the reason why China can challenge the hegemony of Great Britain now by virtue of the population and resources of the entire East Asian continent? If Great Britain had one-tenth of the area, resources, and population of the Ming Dynasty, its supremacy would not be shaken at all!

Therefore, what Great Britain's world empire needs most now is a new home that can rival the Ming Dynasty. This new home can only be found in North America!

Once the Empress leaves England, she will probably have to stay in Toronto, a city that has been the capital of the Empire for more than 10 years. Rumors that the British Empire would move its capital to Toronto, and that the Canadian Commonwealth and the American Empire would merge as the new home of the future empire, had not stopped for the past 10 years. It was only the repeated denials of the cabinet and the royal family that reassured the people of Britain proper. If the royal family were to travel to Toronto in peacetime, it would have caused a wave of protests in Britain itself.

And now...... The Empress bravely stood on the front line of the fight against the Yellow Peril, who could protest because of this? Besides, didn't the Chinese emperor also leave his homeland to go to North America to conquer in person? Could it be that the Queen of England can only hide in the safety and comfort of Windsor Castle and do nothing? The Chinese emperor can go to North America, but the British empress can't go? Isn't this tantamount to saying that the Empress of England is naturally timid and afraid of the Chinese emperor? At a time when the entire empire is united to defeat Chinese, the Empress's personal visit to the former enemy will not be criticized or questioned......

The old prime minister smiled helplessly and looked at the queen and his wife, who had made up their minds: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, if you go to North America, what should the cabinet do?" Will I stay in England or will I go with you to the Americas? ”

The Empress of England laughed: "The telegraph has appeared in this world, and it is not difficult to communicate information on both sides of the Atlantic." And Crown Prince Edward is already in his thirties, and it's time for him to be exposed to more state affairs. ”

On the night of July 30, 1875, the British Empire government issued a proclamation announcing that the Empress would personally go to North America to fight the Chinese invaders to the end with the loyal soldiers of the Empire. The affairs of the empire itself will be represented by Crown Prince Edward.

The British Empire has finally taken this crucial step! (To be continued......)
