Robert. After the fall of the Peel Cabinet, the leader of the Whig Party, John Brown. Sir Russell successfully won the election and came to power. Entering the Downing Street Prime Minister's Office, this is the case of John Browning. Sir Russell's long-cherished wish. Originally, Robert. Sir Peel's regime was very solid, and John Peel was very strong. Sir Russell had no chance at all. However, this time, Britain suffered a crushing defeat in the war against Xinhua Kingdom, but it gave him a perfect opportunity. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, John. Sir Russell seized the opportunity and so succeeded in bringing Robert . Sir Peel was expelled from the Prime Minister's House.

A week later, John. Sir Russell successfully moved into the Prime Minister's House, and the list of cabinet nominees he nominated was also approved by Parliament. However, in the case of John. Sir Russell's biggest problem is still the threat posed by Xinhua to India. This became the case for Robert. The reason for the fall of Peel's cabinet, but if he doesn't handle this issue well, I'm afraid he will follow Robert's side. Sir Peel's footsteps. Although the Conservative Party lost the general election, it is still eyeing the position of prime minister. Just like John before that. Sir Russell, like him, waited for the cabinet's decision-making to go wrong, and then struck a fatal blow.

John. On the evening of Sir Russell's assumption of power, a Cabinet meeting was held. There is only one topic on the agenda of the meeting, and that is how to solve the problems we are facing. Only in this way can their regime be consolidated. Otherwise. Robert. The Peel Cabinet is a case in point.

The meeting was attended by the exception of Prime Minister John Brown. In addition to Sir Russell, there was also the Foreign Secretary, Henry. Viscount Temple. He was the third Viscount of Palmerston and had great influence in the House of Lords. Lamb's foreign secretary when he was prime minister. This is his second time in this position. Secretary of War Thomas. Sir Grosvenor, Lord of the Admiralty, William. Sir Parker, Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Parker. Sir Wood. These people are all the same as John. Sir Russell was a close associate of people at the same time in British politics. He is also quite a famous person.

"Gentlemen, we have succeeded in bringing Robert . Peel's guy got out of here. Now we have taken power in the hands of the British Empire. But. I believe that Robert. Peel and the Conservative guys aren't going to give up. They must be hiding in the shadows, staring at us. Waiting for us to make mistakes. And then kick us out of the Prime Minister's Office. However, I can tell you very clearly that we will never give the Conservatives another chance. The British Empire will be led by us to a more glorious future! "John. Sir Russell said.

"Bang Bang!" Cabinet ministers applauded. Defeating the Conservatives and winning this election is a huge victory for them. Even now they are facing many difficulties, but. As far as these political figures are concerned, they have the purpose of saving. Isn't it just to solve these problems and meet greater challenges?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we will succeed and let those Conservative guys know that we are the strongest." Henry. Viscount Temple said. He was very pleased to be the British Foreign Secretary again. He has always advocated being tough on the outside world. During the Lamb cabinet, he was also the one who advocated waging war against the Manchus.

"Gentlemen, the biggest problem before us now is how to resolve the crisis of the Xinhua Kingdom against India. Robert. Peel, that guy, made a mess of things. The war between the Indian colonies and the Straits Settlements against Xinhua was actually lost. This undoubtedly shows that Xinhua is even more powerful than our counterparts. "John. Sir Russell said.

"Your Excellency, the War Department has ordered troops to be sent to India to strengthen India's defenses. It's just that because of the fall of the cabinet, this order was delayed. I immediately ordered that we need to send at least 100,000 elite troops from the mainland and other colonies to India. At the same time, Lord Ehrenborough, the Viceroy of India, was authorized to recruit more troops to safeguard the interests of the British Empire in India! "Secretary of War Thomas. Sir Grosvenor said.

"What about other people's opinions?" John. Sir Russell asked. It is very necessary to send troops to India to resist the possible attack of the Xinhua Army. But if they fail again, they are out of luck.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I agree to send troops to India. India is so important to us that we got tens of millions of pounds from India last year. This year's revenue in India can be increased by at least 30%! India has become the most important colony of the British Empire, and we must keep it! "Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles. Sir Wood said.

John. Russell nodded, of course he knew the importance of India. However, this is not something they can hold on to if they want to hold India. India is already under the threat of Xinhua's troops, and it may be attacked by Xinhuaguo at any time. This time the fiasco made John. Russell was a little worried about whether the British army could defeat the Xinhua army in India.

"Well, give the order at once, reinforcements to India. Sue sù Lord Ehrenborough, no matter what, India must be kept. "John. Sir Russell said. Only by holding India will the current cabinet be able to gain a firm foothold.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy needs to increase its military spending, in addition to building 30 new 'Apollo-class' warships, we also want to speed up the development of steam warships. According to the information obtained by the Admiralty, the main reason why the Royal Navy will lose to Xinhua this time is that the Xinhua Navy has a powerful steam warship. This led to a major defeat for the Royal Navy, which had already gained the upper hand. Although I don't want to admit it, in terms of naval warships, the Royal Navy has indeed lagged behind Xinhua. If this continues, it will be very disadvantageous for the British Empire. "Admiral William. Sir Parker said.

Listened to William. After Sir Parker's words, everyone's faces became a little solemn. The navy was a key factor in the British Empire's ability to maintain its current supremacy. But now the mighty Royal Navy was challenged from the east and was defeated. Not only did this cost the British Empire a colony, but it also had a cascade of repercussions. The enemies of the British Empire are already celebrating the crushing defeat of the British Empire!

"William. Sir Parker, you give me a detailed report, and I will ask the Council to approve the appropriation. "John. Sir Russell said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" William. Sir Parker nodded. He believed that with the background of the British Empire and the strength of science and technology, it would definitely be able to catch up with Xinhua and build powerful warships that surpassed the Xinhua Navy. When the 'Shark-class' cruiser of the Xinhua Navy was murderous, didn't Britain quickly develop the 'Apollo-class' warship? Actual combat has shown that the performance of the 'Apollo-class' warships is even stronger than that of Xinhua's 'Shark-class'. If it weren't for the secret development of steam warships by Xinhua, perhaps the British Navy would have won this time.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think there is another way we can take in addition to strengthening our military presence in India. In the past, our strategy towards Xinhua was to contain the development of Xinhua and destroy Xinhua as much as possible before it developed. But now it turns out that this simply does not work. In that case, then why can't we live in peace with Xinhuaguo? The Far East is too far from Britain, and we send troops to the Far East, and the risks are too great. Xinhua has a home advantage, and it will be difficult for us to win. "Foreign Secretary Henry. Viscount Temple said.

"Make peace with Xinhuaguo? Is this possible? They have just taken away the Straits Settlements, and they are still eyeing India! "Secretary of War Thomas. Sir Grosvenor said with a frown.

"Your Excellency, Minister of War, according to the latest information, after the capture of the Straits Settlements, the Xinhua Army did not continue its offensive to the west. Perhaps, they did not dare to fight the British Empire completely. I think this should be a good opportunity for us. "Henry. Viscount Temple said.

"What if the Xinhua Army is accumulating strength?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles. Sir Wood said.

"It's possible, but I think it's very unlikely. Don't look at it, Xinhua is still fighting against the Qing State. Their main intention should be to defeat the Qing and obtain a large amount of land and population from the Qing State. Their front is stretched too long, and perhaps they are not in a position to attack India. "Henry. Sir Temple analyzed.

"However, Your Excellency Foreign Minister, once the Xinhua Kingdom defeats the Qing State, then they will gain more than 300 million people. With the industrial strength of Xinhua, they will arm an extremely powerful army. When the time comes, we will still be under great threat. "Thomas. Sir Grosvenor said.

"However, we need time now. Whether it is the army deploying India, or the navy building newer warships, it will take a lot of time. We can use this to stabilize the new country. Wait until we are ready, and then start a war against Xinhua. This time, we must be completely prepared to win the victory and solve the new China country at once. "Henry. Viscount Temple said.

"Hmmm! What Viscount Temple said is very reasonable, and we can consider negotiating with Xinhuaguo. "Admiral William. Sir Parker said.

"In that case, Viscount Temple, you can start preparing for negotiations with Xinhua Kingdom!" John. Sir Russell said. (To be continued......)
