Speaker Leon's words left Queen Victoria speechless, and the meeting fell into an impasse for a while, such a scene is rarely seen, and the Speaker and Her Majesty the Queen directly broke out into a verbal conflict?

However, at the beginning of the expedition, Queen Victoria did have a big posture, from the alliance to the selection of generals, etc., it was all arbitrary, and even if the parliament wanted to intervene, it was also subject to many elbows from the royalists, because no one doubted at that time that the expedition would end in a fiasco? Now that the fiasco is still a fact, will there be a change in the Empire's policy towards the East, or even some major changes within the Empire? Everyone can see that this fiasco is a great weakening of Queen Victoria's imperial power. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Admiral McCree, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "I think we are gathered here today to solve the problem, not to exacerbate the contradictions, our common enemy is in the East, not here, Your Majesty, we need you to take us out of this predicament." ”

Admiral McCree's words sounded fair at first and did not take sides, but when she heard Queen Victoria's ears, the smell changed, which was clearly telling her that whoever caused the mess should clean up by herself, but at this moment Queen Victoria is really powerless to clean up this mess.

Admiral McRae saw that Empress Victoria did not speak, so he said slowly: "There are a total of thirty-two ships under construction in the Imperial Royal Navy, which will be completed by the end of next year, and it will take at least two months to equip the warships, and the warships of the Chinese Empire will take about six to eight months to complete the repair and regain their combat effectiveness, before that, our old sail warships are unable to resist the armored fleet of the Chinese Empire, including India, all of which are exposed to the Chinese Empire, if they want, They can strike at any port we have in the world, or plunder any shipping lane. ”

Admiral McRae's words caused a stir, and how could they not be thrilled that most of the parliamentarians or ministers present at the meeting had such great interests in the overseas colonies, and that if India were to be lost, a third of those present would be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although Empress Victoria thought that Admiral McRae was a bit alarmist, but this was indeed true, and now she regretted very much that she should have sent a battleship to intercept the warships of the Chinese Empire returning from Prussia, but Queen Victoria did not expect that if she went to take the sail warship to forcibly intercept the warship customized by the Chinese Empire in Prussia, what would be the end? The only role was to make the British Royal Navy realize the power of armored protection cruisers earlier.

Even Empress Victoria knows how many detours the Royal Navy has taken over the years, originally with the national strength of the British Empire, even if it started late, it would catch up in three or four years, but the speed at which the battleship was sunk exceeded the speed of construction, the first time in the history of the British Empire, the British Empire, which dominated the world for a hundred years with the Royal Navy, had no warships to defend against the enemy? It's a big joke!

What the current British Empire needs is time, but this timeline is not in the hands of Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria set her eyes on Admiral McRae, but Admiral McRae said calmly: "Your Majesty, for our British Empire, there are only eternal interests, there are no eternal enemies, today's enemies can become friends, and tomorrow's friends will also become enemies, right?" When our military power is not enough to threaten the other side, we should not regard it as an enemy of the British Empire, but should put it in the perspective of a friend, be magnanimous, the so-called shipbuilding and even military secrets we get from Prussia are half-understood, the Prussians are used to fragmentary thinking, and I know that almost all of these technologies come from the General Scientific Research Administration of the Chinese Empire, for this institution we still have no knowledge of nuclear infiltration, and we don't even know where it is! The Royal Navy needs technology, and the Chinese Empire is on the rise, and they need allies, trade, and money, which we can all give generously to them! ”

Empress Victoria frowned and looked at Admiral McCray and said: "If the Chinese Empire is allowed to rise, I am afraid it is not in line with the long-term interests of the Empire in the Far East and Southeast Asia, Lin Haijiang is a bloody talent reader, he has long regarded the Empire as his obstacle, and I don't see any good solution between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire except for war!" ”

Speaker Leon stood up helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that you still remain calm, if our war with the Chinese Empire continues, okay!" We are likely to lose India, or involve India in the war, Your Majesty, the people of Lin Haijiang are almost all the army, they are a whole of all soldiers, as long as their army has a pair of shoes, they are all scuds, whether it is a rifle or a bayonet, they can fight tenaciously to the end, what they are best at is to seize the weapons and materials of our army and use them, and fight with such a country and such an army, I don't think we will get more? We have so many colonies all over the world, if the empire is weakened because of the war in the East, will the French, Prussia, and even the Dutch and Spaniards fight back? Compete with us? ”

Admiral McRae also said on the side: "The core interests of the empire are overall and indivisible, including the royal family, if someone insists on dragging the empire into the abyss of no return, the imperial noble council must not sit idly by!" ”

In the chaos, almost all the ministers and speakers supported the decision of Admiral McRae and Speaker Leon, you must know that Speaker Leon and Admiral McRae are leaders belonging to different factions, and I can be described as highly respected, if they unite and say that Your Majesty is wrong, then Her Majesty may really be wrong, tens of thousands of children are alone in the sea, and the members and ministers attending the meeting have family members who participated in the expedition in order to gain honor and wealth, if according to the wishes of Queen Victoria, Then these people are dead.

If you stand on the side of the Empress, it is tantamount to murdering your own relatives, so there was a one-sided situation in the venue that shocked Queen Victoria.

After realizing that she seemed to be on the opposite side of the entire aristocratic interest class, Empress Victoria, who felt powerless, hesitated for a long time and said: "Then if the empire changes its attitude towards the Chinese empire, we must also come up with a solution as soon as possible and let the children go home!" ”

Queen Victoria's Cabinet meeting did not follow her parliamentarians, but instead gave her a sense of rebellion? Is it really my fault? Empress Victoria knew very well that the whole of Europe was now in a deep panic because of the massacre of the Chinese Empire's prisoners of the coalition forces, no one knew who would be next, the Dutch, the Spaniards, and the Italians were all killed, and the countries involved in the war were worried about retaliation from the Chinese Empire! A new round of armament frenzy kicked off with the defeat of this coalition operation, and could the navy of the Chinese Empire really be the end of the Royal Navy's domination of the world? Victoria herself couldn't tell.

The next time, in Speaker Leon's estate, Admiral McRae and Speaker Leon were chatting with a distinguished guest, and the two also changed their previous aggressive posture in front of Queen Victoria, but flattered each other with a trace of inexplicable stammering? Do the Royal Admiralty Ministers and Speakers of the British Empire need to flatter anyone? The answer is clearly no?

Several boxes were being unloaded on a carriage in the distance, one of them was overturned, and a large number of golden gold coins were tumbling all over the ground, Speaker Leon was so angry that he scolded the butler who was kneeling on the ground and hurriedly collecting the gold coins, and Miles shook the cigar between his fingers slightly: "This is a little respect from Mr. Miller to the two of them, a tribute to the two patriots, the real patriots should be like the two, and the country should not be hurt for anyone's selfish desires." ”

We're friends? Isn't it? My dear Mr. Miles! Speaker Leon's words made Miles smile knowingly, and Miles swore and said: "Please rest assured, the head of Lin Haijiang still has great goodwill towards the Western world, for the previous Batavia port tragedy and the subsequent execution of coalition officers and soldiers, the head of state said that this is a tragedy that should not happen, because the imperial garrison is mostly recruited by the local army, and it is inevitable that there will be some natives, just like the Anglo-Indian troops, whose families were slaughtered by the coalition forces in Batavia, So they took extreme measures while the Allied prisoners of war were being held in the port of Batavia, and now that the natives had been suppressed, the Imperial Gendarmes had taken over the management of the prisoners of war, and the Reich could hand over these aboriginal murderers to the British Empire if politically necessary. ”

Speaker Leon and Admiral McRae exchanged glances, this is indeed an empathetic approach, whether it is the British Empire or the Chinese Empire, the political axes of both sides need a step, otherwise they will not be able to explain to the people at home, what indigenous people are placed in, etc., such a lie is simply familiar to the British Empire.

Admiral McRae saw that Myers had a mouthful of the Chinese Empire and a mouthful of His Excellency the Führer, and suddenly wondered: "Dear Mr. Myers, can I take the liberty of asking which country you are from?" ”

Miles was slightly stunned, and then said: "My ancestors are from England, and now I am ready to join the Chinese Empire, and it is heaven for me!" ”
