The British wanted to use the power of the Kingdom of Prussia to gain a chance to rise again. They knew that this time the Chinese Empire would not let Britain go. Once Britain is destroyed by the Chinese Empire, in order to solve all the problems at once, Britain will definitely be weakened, or even divided. In such a situation, Britain simply cannot resist and can only bear it. However, this does not mean that the UK is willing to accept this outcome. Therefore, before the fall of the Chinese Empire to the British, they had already begun to arrange their back-ups.

The British planned to help the Kingdom of Prussia with all their might, so that the Kingdom of Prussia could have the strength to challenge the Chinese Empire. In their opinion, the army strength of the Kingdom of Prussia was very strong, and except for the difference in strength, there was not much difference between it and the Chinese Empire in other aspects. The weakness of the Kingdom of Prussia lies in its navy. And this happens to be the strong point of the United Kingdom.

Although in the decisive battle with the Chinese navy, the British navy lost a complete defeat, and the British lost the war. However, the British did not consider them to be inferior to the Chinese Navy. They are only slightly behind the Chinese Empire in terms of technology. As for the naval heritage, they are far stronger than the Chinese Empire. If they were given another chance, they wouldn't have lost.

The Prussians did not want to live forever in the shadow ★♂ of the Chinese Empire, and they were even more unwilling to be suppressed by the Chinese Empire. They hope to have the strength to challenge the Chinese Empire, or even defeat the Chinese Empire and gain world hegemony. The Kingdom of Prussia had previously focused on building up its army, which made it a Central European power. However, if you want to challenge the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia had to have a strong navy. Only in this way can they be qualified to challenge the Chinese Empire.

Merely. The navy is not an army, and it cannot be developed in a short period of time. In addition to technology and talent. Funding is even more essential. Relying on the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia alone, it was simply not possible to develop a powerful navy. Therefore, the Kingdom of Prussia set its sights on the British. Britain was the traditional maritime hegemon, and their naval heritage was what the Kingdom of Prussia needed. Only with the help of Britain could they overtake the Chinese Empire and become the new world hegemon. This led the Kingdom of Prussia to hope that Britain would be able to provide more money.

"Your Excellency, two thousand tons of gold, seems like a lot. But. If it is used to develop the navy, this is not much. Frankly speaking, the gap between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Chinese Empire in terms of navy is too great, and if we don't increase investment, I'm afraid we won't have the strength to challenge the Chinese Empire in many years! "Otto. Feng. Bismarck said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the navy is not simply a pile of warships, it needs to be built from all aspects. In addition, two thousand tons of gold. Britain simply can't take it, and your country's demands are beyond Britain's ability to accept! Earl Granville said, shaking his head.

"Then, Lord Count. How much money can your country provide? Prussian Foreign Minister Albrech. Feng. Ron asked.

"Five hundred tons of gold, this is our limit!" Earl Glanville said.

Otto. Feng. Bismarck shook his head repeatedly: "Your Excellency, five hundred tons of gold." That's too little, if we want to challenge the maritime supremacy of the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia needed at least 1,800 tons of gold to do so! ”

The two sides began to bargain, and the Prussians wanted the British to give an extra glimmer of money for the development of the navy of the Kingdom of Prussia. After all. The Kingdom of Prussia wanted to defeat the Chinese Empire, and it would not have been possible without a strong navy. If the Kingdom of Prussia fails, then not only the Kingdom of Prussia will pay a heavy price. If the British want to rise again, it is even more impossible.

"Fourteen hundred tons of gold, it can't be less than that! Your Excellency, although the naval strength of the Kingdom of Prussia is very weak, we have already begun to pay attention to the development of the navy. At present, the cost of the Chinese Navy's cutting-edge warships has reached 12 million yuan. And the cost of future warships will definitely increase further. The Kingdom of Prussia lacked not only the main warships, but also various supporting warships, as well as port facilities, etc. 1,400 tons of gold is already our minimum requirement. In order to increase the strength of the navy, the Kingdom of Prussia will also invest more money in it. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck insisted.

"A thousand tons of gold! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is not much left of the accumulation of the British Empire over the centuries. We also need to leave enough money for post-war construction, war reparations that have already been paid to the greedy Chinese and the like. Said the Earl of Granville.

The Earl of Granville, who had dealt with the Chinese Empire countless times, knew that once Britain was defeated, the Chinese Empire would definitely open its mouth and slaughter Britain fiercely. If sufficient funds are not prepared in advance, the future of the UK will be extremely difficult. If you want to rise again in the future, it is even more impossible.

"Alright! Your Excellency the Count, one thousand two hundred tons of gold. Britain provided the Kingdom of Prussia with one thousand two hundred tons of gold as funds for the development of the navy. The Kingdom of Prussia will vigorously develop its navy, and in the future, strive to defeat the Chinese Empire in one fell swoop and win world hegemony. And in return, the Kingdom of Prussia will support the re-emergence of Britain! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said.

The Earl of Granville hesitated, but nodded. 1,200 tonnes of gold, worth more than £160 million. This may seem like a lot of money, but it's not like Britain can't afford it. At a time when the country is at stake, the British royal family has decided to contribute their wealth. The British government has assured that the British royal family's dominance over Britain will not waver.

In other words, the British royal family exchanged all their wealth for an opportunity to continue to rule the United Kingdom. Of course, the royal family is nothing more than a nominal ruler. In fact, it is the Parliament and the Cabinet that rule the UK. The generosity of the royal family made the senior officials of the British cabinet speechless. If the royal family had been so generous before the war began, Britain would not have lacked the funds to develop its military at all. The size of the British navy will be even stronger than it was before the decisive battle with the Chinese navy. In that case, perhaps it will not be Britain that will lose.

"Well, then, happy cooperation, Your Excellency Earl!" Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck's face was full of smiles.

"Happy cooperation, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" The Earl of Granville also put away his expression and stretched out his hand. The hands of the two were shaken together.

The cooperation between Britain and the Kingdom of Prussia would be beneficial for both countries. It was inevitable that Britain would lose its position as world hegemon and be greatly weakened by the defeat of this war. Cooperation with the Kingdom of Prussia gave Britain a chance to re-emerge. Once the Chinese Empire was defeated, the Kingdom of Prussia would become the new world hegemon. And the United Kingdom will also make great progress. The British believed that when the time came, they would also have a chance to defeat the Kingdom of Prussia once again and regain their position as world hegemon.

The Kingdom of Prussia also got what it wanted. The personnel, technology and funds needed to develop the Navy have been addressed. After the end of the war, the Kingdom of Prussia could vigorously develop its navy. In the shortest possible time, an extremely powerful navy has been developed. This was tantamount to adding an extremely important boost to the development of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The Earl of Granville and Otto. Feng. After Prime Minister Bismarck reached an agreement, he did not sign the treaty immediately. The Earl of Granville was required to report to the Cabinet, while Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck also had to report to King Wilhelm I.

When Wilhelm I from Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck laughed when he learned that Britain had accepted the terms of the Kingdom of Prussia and that the Kingdom of Prussia would receive 1,200 tons of gold from Britain for the development of the navy. He seemed to have seen that with the help of the British, the Kingdom of Prussia was rapidly becoming a naval power. Their warships, galloping on the sea, fought a decisive battle with the warships of the Chinese Navy. In the end, defeat the Chinese Navy and win supremacy at sea. Go one step further and seize the hegemony of the world.

The next day, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Otto. Feng. Bismarck and the British Foreign Secretary, Count Granville, were in Berlin and secretly signed the Anglo-Prussian Mutual Assistance Treaty. The treaty stipulated that Britain would give full help to the Kingdom of Prussia in the development of its navy, and in addition to personnel and technical assistance, Britain would also provide the Kingdom of Prussia with an additional 1,200 tons of gold for the development of the navy. The Kingdom of Prussia, on the other hand, pledged its full support for Britain's re-emergence as a world power after defeating the Chinese Empire.

The signing of the treaty brought Britain and the Kingdom of Prussia into collusion once again. In order to challenge the world hegemony of the Chinese Empire, the two countries will cooperate closely in the naval field. Of course, in terms of the army, Britain could not help the Kingdom of Prussia much. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Prussia itself was an army power, and it did not need the help of Britain in this regard.

From the moment the treaty was signed, Britain began to transport naval personnel, technical information, and gold to the Kingdom of Prussia. Although, the Chinese Navy blockaded the British Isles. However, in the face of such a long coastline, it is impossible to block it all. In particular, the British chose to go to sea at night, which added to the difficulty of the blockade. Naval talents and technology from the British, as well as funds, were gradually enriched into the naval construction of the Kingdom of Prussia, and until the Chinese Empire launched an attack on Britain, the British had shipped most of the talents, technical materials and gold to the Kingdom of Prussia.
