"Your Excellency, Siam is now facing a great threat, and the King and Government of Siam, I hope that the righteous Britain will be able to administer justice to Siam!" Biribamo said loudly, his voice revealing a deep sense of grief and indignation.

"Oh? What happened? Lord Landsdoorn asked a question in surprise, and by the way, he also looked up and glanced at Biribamo. For Siam, the British also had great ambitions at the beginning. However, the king of Siam, who was also a very powerful task, maneuvered between England and France, and although he paid a certain price, he also saved Siam. Otherwise, Siam, which was rich in natural resources, would have been swallowed up by the British and turned into a British colony.

"Your Excellency, you are Chinese! Despicable and shameless Chinese, they brazenly gathered a large army on the Siamese border, ready to invade Siam. Siam is weak and weak, and Gen is no match for the Chinese. Therefore, we can only ask Britain to administer justice! Biribamo said.

"I see!" Lord Lansdorn suddenly realized. The Chinese have attacked Siam, and he has no doubt about this. When he first negotiated an armistice between Beijing and China, he deeply understood the greed of the Chinese. Now, the entire Far East and the South Seas are under the control of China, with the exception of Thailand, which is already under the control of Indonesia. Dutch Indonesia, because of the close relationship between the Netherlands and the Germans, considering the relationship between Germany, the Chinese may not be able to make a move against Dutch Indonesia. But Siam? The Chinese will not show mercy. With China's strength, it would be extremely easy to destroy a small country like Siam.

But. Lord Lansdowne was hesitant to decide whether England would stand up for Siam for such a thing. Now China has obviously grown into a behemoth. Even Britain can't provoke such a powerful country lightly. What's more, Britain is still mired in the Boer War, and it is very uneconomical to provoke China.

"Damn the MI guys, why didn't they get the slightest bit of information before? Otherwise, if you plan ahead, you may get some benefits! Lord Lansdoorn scolded. Albeit. Britain has already had to withdraw from the Far East and the South Seas, but Britain is not reconciled to this.

"So, Your Excellency, what do you want Britain to do? Protest to China against such a breach of peace? However, the Chinese obviously will not pay attention to our protests. Therefore. I can't help it! Lord Landsdownne said.

"Your Excellency, Siam hopes to be able to join the Entente. If Siam joins the Entente, Siam will abide by the Covenant and fulfill all its obligations. In addition, Siam hoped to be able to buy a batch of weapons from the British as much as possible. We need at least half a million rifles, as well as a large number of heavy machine guns and artillery. Biribamo said.

Lord Lansdorn was a little dumbfounded by Bili Bamo's request. Sell arms. Of course, there is no problem with this, after all, it is possible to make money. After South Africa has spent a lot of money on its military, Britain will not let go of any opportunity to make money. Siam, however, wanted to join the Entente. That's a bit whimsical. Although, all the member states of the Entente hope that the Entente can expand this organization to the whole world. That's the case. The Entente would be able to gather enough forces to confront the Allies and China. But. Siam was clearly pressed by the Chinese, and they joined the Entente only in search of a place of refuge. If Siam is accepted, it will inevitably offend China. Even China would have brazenly invaded Siam despite the warnings of the Entente. By that time, what should the Entente do? Declaring war on China? The member states of the Entente are not ready for war now, and a large number of warships are still under intense construction.

"Your Excellency, I am not in a position to make the decision on your request, and I will need to ask His Excellency the Prime Minister for instructions before I can answer you. However, if your country can pay for the arms you need, I can sell them to you at once! Lord Landsdownne said. Selling arms to Siam can not only earn a lot of money, but also arm Siam and let the Siamese fight hard with the Chinese, which is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

"Your Excellency, please also ask England to do justice to Siam! As long as Siam can be kept from being annexed by China, Siam is willing to pay a sufficient price! Biribamo said.

"Well, I'll ask your Excellency the Prime Minister, and I'll give you an answer later!" Lord Landsdownne said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Bili Bamo said very humbly.

After Biribamo left, Lord Landsdorn rushed to the Prime Minister's Palace. For China, Lord Lansdowne is very hateful. Therefore, after discovering an opportunity to add to China's blockage, he will not let it go no matter what.

At this time, British Prime Minister Arthur Belfour was summoning Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Fisher, and Field Marshal Neville, Powers Chamberlain, at the Prime Minister's House in Downing Street to question the recent developments of the British Army and Navy.

"Sir Chamberlain, Imperial Army, when will we be able to defeat those damned Boers, by now we have spent two hundred million pounds, invested four hundred thousand troops, and lost nearly a hundred thousand. However, the Boer resistance continues, and when will we be able to put down the Boer rebellion once and for all? Prime Minister Arthur Belfour asked angrily. The quagmire of war on the Boers has now become the biggest trouble he has faced since he came to power and formed a government. Many MPs were dissatisfied with the government's inability to quell the Boer rebellion in a timely manner, which directly led to the declining approval rating of Prime Minister Arthur Belfour in Parliament, and it was almost impossible for him to seek a second term.

Field Marshal Neville Powers Sir Chamberlain could not help but have a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and he replied with a somewhat wolfish bรจi: "Your Excellency, the cunning Boers, who are scattered like marmots across the vast grasslands, sometimes gather to attack our troops, and as soon as the army enters them, they disappear without a trace. However, the main army of the Boers has been wiped out by us, and we are now facing only the Boer guerrillas. Just give me some more time, and the Imperial Army will be able to completely wipe out these Boers! โ€

"So, how long will it take you?" Prime Minister Arthur Belfour asked.

"Half a year, up to a year. As long as the Boers no longer receive foreign aid, the Imperial Army will be able to exterminate them! Sir Neville Powers Chamberlain affirmed.

"Outside aid? Chinese or German? These scumbags, are they still supporting the Boers? Prime Minister Arthur Belfour roared angrily.

"Your Excellency, whether Chinese or German, they are still secretly supporting the Boers. Otherwise, the weapons of the Boers would have been exhausted long ago! Neville Powers Sir Chamberlain said.

"These damn guys, one day the British Empire will settle accounts with them!" Prime Minister Arthur Belfour said through gritted teeth.

"So, Sir Fisher, has I had good news for the Navy?" Prime Minister Arthur Belfour rubbed his somewhat sore head, and then asked.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Navy is working at full speed to build warships of all kinds. Battleships, battle cruisers, armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, striving to restore the strength of the Royal Navy. At present, the construction of the 'St. Sente-class' battleships has begun, and the 'Neptune' and 'Giant-class' battleships will also start construction in the next two months. In addition, the construction of the 'Invincible-class' battlecruisers has also begun. The design drawings of the 'Indefatigable' battlecruisers will also be completed soon. Now the main shipyards of the empire have almost been filled with orders from the Admiralty, and as long as the funds are sufficient, the Royal Navy will be restored to the world's first strength, just around the corner! "said Sir John Fisher, Secretary of State for the Admiralty.

"The government will do its best to ensure the Navy's shipbuilding funds. However, the Royal Navy must ensure that it will be able to guarantee the interests of the British Empire throughout the world after it has been restored! Prime Minister Arthur Belfour reminded.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, while we are speeding up the construction of warships, our enemies are not stopping. The Germans have come up with a-for-tat design scheme for the 'Caesar-class' battleships and build five at once. At the same time, there are also the designs of the 'De Vogel-class' battlecruisers, which are clearly aimed at the Royal Navy's 'Indefatigable-class' battlecruisers! Sir John Fisher said.

"The ambitions of the Germans, the whole world already knows. However, I believe that with the strength of the British Empire, it is enough to completely suppress the Germans in terms of the navy! Prime Minister Arthur Belfour said. The British Empire has been the hegemon of the sea for hundreds of years, and its naval heritage is incomparable to that of any country.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Germans are not terrible, it is the Chinese who are terrible. According to the information we have received, the Chinese are also secretly building new battleships. The 'Han-class' battleships, which were more powerful than the 'Qin-class' battleships, and the second-class battlecruisers, were named by the Chinese as the 'Hanxin-class' battlecruisers. It's just that the Chinese's secrecy work is very in place, and we have not been able to know the specific parameters of these two battleships so far! Sir John Fisher said.
