"Killed?" Isabella suddenly stood up from her chair and stared at the intelligence director who had reported it to him with an expression of disbelief, "Miss Christina? ”

"Yes, that's what our military observers reported." The Chief of Intelligence had a sad expression, "Miss Christina has fallen......"

In fact, Isabella had no feelings for the old woman, but she was not used to seeing many of the old woman's ways, but at this time she had to express enough grief.

Fortunately, Isabella has been trained to deal with this situation, and she is comfortable manipulating her expression when necessary, although she will be instantly exposed in the face of old and sophisticated people, but it is more than enough to deal with this situation.

So Isabella said to Chamberlain in a heavy tone: "Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send a telegram saying that we are very saddened by the loss of Miss Christina, which is a loss for France, and I hope that the French people can turn their grief into strength." Anyway, you're more familiar with these contents than I am, so I'll leave them to you. ”

Then the queen turned her gaze to the intelligence director again: "How did this qiē happen?" ”

"Judging by the current intelligence," the intelligence chief swallowed, "the Germans may have sent Chihiro Matsudaira to the battlefield from Potsdam." ”

"From Potsdam?" Isabella felt like she was going to pee for a moment, but luckily she immediately shut the door below her, "Nonsense, do you know how many miles there are from Potsdam to the battlefield?" Wait, did the Germans create a new heavy transport aircraft? ”

The British Empire also considered the matter of airlifting the Divine Queen's Magic Armor, but so far no suitable heavy transport aircraft has been developed, so it has to start thinking about the production of a lightweight Divine Queen's Magical Armor, which is specially used for airdropping.

However, it is clear that the Germans did not use the degraded quality to reduce the weight.

In a one-on-one situation, it is not a simple matter for Shenji to kill another Shenji, and the Shenji who has been directly killed on the battlefield in modern times is either besieged by an absolutely superior enemy, or is not in a good state herself. And Isabella has only seen Christina in recent years, and she knows that although Christina is not in the same shape as before, she is not a soft persimmon either.

Even if it is a fox, it is very difficult to kill her directly with personal brute strength.

Therefore, Isabella thinks that the fox armor is definitely hiding something unique and something, and it may even be a completely high-performance new armor - the British intelligence agencies already know that the Americans have better performance than the British standard armor, so it is not surprising that the Germans also took something new out of their pockets.

The question is, how exactly did this armor get from Potsdam to the battlefield, and according to Isabella's knowledge, the fox should have been in Potsdam until this morning.

She stared at her intelligence director, which caused beads of sweat on the knight's forehead.

"Actually, we don't have any conclusive information, and we don't know how she was sent there. But! Seeing Isabella's eyes suddenly turn grim, Sir decisively strengthened his tone to emphasize that he was not for nothing, "But our undercover personnel in Potsdam saw a rocket rise this morning, and according to their reports, it was much larger than what we had previously observed. ”

"Are you saying that Lin Youde used a rocket to launch one of his wives into France?" Chamberlain shook his head with a look of disbelief, "This is so unfounded, it reminds me of those third-rate science fiction novels in Marvel magazine." This is the real world, not the delusional world of that madman of Jules Verne! It's not a wells hunt. If I believe that the Germans have launched the goddess with a rocket today, tomorrow the invisible man may come to visit my house, and the day after tomorrow, will the Germans sail to the shores of the British Empire to show off their might? ”

"Looks like you've read a lot of science fiction." Isabella complained coldly that most of what Chamberlain said came from the novels of Jules Verne and Wells.

"Damn, I used to be a child, and children love to watch this, but luckily I wasn't affected by these strange things, and I grew up healthy as a normal adult." Chamberlain was so out of shape that he didn't realize that he had just said the very indecent slang word "damn it" in front of the queen.

Isabella looked at Chamberlain and waited a few seconds before saying, "When I visited Wèn in Germany, I talked to Mr. Lin Youde about science fiction writers such as Jules Verne, and he liked their whimsical ideas. So I think he's going to do something like using a rocket to send a magic armor equipped with a god into battle. ”

Isabella wiped the sweat from her forehead as her intelligence director spoke, as if glad she had escaped and didn't have to leave the scene as her predecessor had done.

"But," Isabella continued, "it only explains how the fox suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and I don't yet know how she killed poor old Christina. Did anyone of her cooperate in the attack? ”

"No, the telegram sent by our military observers shows that the goddess of the Barras and other families was entangled with the goddess of the French government at that time, and no one could help Miss Chihiro, and there was no goddess of the French government who could interfere with Miss Chihiro. She quickly killed Miss Christina in a one-on-one situation. ”

"How is this possible?" Isabella slapped her hands on the table, "It's rare for this to happen in a battle between a god and a god!" No, wait a minute, Miss Christina was unwell that morning, right? ”

The Chief of Intelligence shook his head, and before the Queen could speak, he said, "Our observers believe that the Germans have used a new weapon that looks like a sword made of light......

"Does that mean the melee weapon she's using emits a bright glow?"

"No, it seems that there was nothing in the first place, and the blade of light appeared." The intelligence chief began to wipe his sweat again.

Isabella fell into deep thought.

After a few moments, she turned to the Secretary of War and said, "I need to organize a team of magicians to personally take care of the wreckage of Christina's magic armor, and I need to figure out what happened." ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard." The intelligence director shook his head, "Both damaged magic armors have been seized by the French Revolutionary Assembly. ”

"Two?" Isabella raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, two. After killing Miss Christina, Miss Chihiro inflicted a heavy blow on Miss Jane with Miss Barras's cooperation, and Miss Jane managed to escape the destroyed magic armor and return safely, but the armor fell to the ground and was taken over by the revolutionary army as the French ground forces retreated. ”

"So she didn't kill one, but two in a fight? Are you kidding! Isabella's body trembled with excitement, "Are all German magic armor monsters?" ”

Just like Lin Youde in Germany, Isabella has a lot of plans for the French Civil War, which are now ending when the fox suddenly appears on the battlefield.

Before I know the details of the fox and her new armor, I am afraid that the French government will not send the goddess to fight lightly, and the revolutionary army is not superior in the number of goddesses, if they rely too much on the fox's combat effectiveness, the Barras and other families will definitely have less say in the framework of the new France in the future, so they will definitely avoid the goddess battle as much as possible, and instead rely on conventional forces to win the victory - in that case, although they will also reduce their voice, so that the French branch of the NERV will have more hands, But at least it will not give the French people the impression that "we will win the war thanks to the support of the German gods."

Turning into this situation basically means that the best solution for Isabella and the British government is dead in name, and they are likely to face the worst-case scenario of the collapse of the current French government, which they have bet on.

"It is imperative to ensure that the French Government is not divided," said Isabella, who was silent for a few moments with her hands on the table, "and immediately issue a statement condemning the German Government's interference in the internal affairs of other countries - no, it is better to use 'barbarism' rhetorically, and then openly support the French Government, and preferably suggest that we will provide the French Government with more military supplies and financial assistance." ”

Isabella paused and turned to look at her Chancellor of the Exchequer: "Did the French take out a loan from the Bank of London a few days ago?" ”

"Yes."

"Let the bank approve the loan, and tell the French that we are happy to pay more."

"Your Majesty, our financial institutions are not in a good position right now, and it is a bit ...... for them to provide so much money to the French."

"Do you want the countries across the English Channel to become allies of Germany? Think of the expenses that had to be paid to secure our country at that time. ”

As soon as Isabella finished speaking, the Admiralty Chancellor said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the security of the British Empire is under the care of the Royal Navy. ”

"Yes, that's right, of course I believe in the Royal Navy," Isabella said with a little impatience as she looked at the Admiralty-Chancellor, "but if there is only a narrow strait between us and the enemy, the Royal Navy will have a headache, right?" ”

"In the Napoleonic era, we were separated from the enemy by this strait, and the Royal Navy withstood the test."

Isabella sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

She knew that it was useless to emphasize with the old-fashioned admiral that "the current level of technology is not the same as it was back then."

"In short," she forcibly terminated the conversation, "we must prevent France from becoming an ally of Germany." The best way to deal with another Napoleonic empire is to kill it before it is formed, and I don't think you have a problem with that, Your Excellency the Admiralty, right? ”

The Admiralty Chancellor shook his head.

"So that's it for now, before I have any new information, I'm going to be quiet and sort out my thoughts. I hope that at the next Imperial Council we will come up with a plan that is good enough to deal with the situation that is now unfavorable to us in France. With that, Isabella finally sat back in her chair and let out a long sigh, "Now that the meeting is adjourned, gentlemen, please come back." ”

After the government officials left, Isabella's palace steward came in and handed Isabella an envelope.

"From Winston Churchill." The manager was brief.

"He's got the news?" Isabella frowned.

"Now the whole of London is going crazy about the Germans entering France in a big way. I haven't heard any rumors about Miss Christina yet, though. ”

Isabella shook her head, tore open the envelope in her hand, and pulled the letter out of it.

The handwriting was sloppy, apparently written in a hurry after receiving the news.

The above is simple, just a few sentences, and the main point is that war must be declared on Germany, and an expeditionary force must be sent to land in France and fight alongside the French army - just like in the last war.

"It's nonsense." Isabella shook her head, "Why is he always so belligerent?" If it weren't for that, I'd have brought him back to replace Chamberlain. ”

"In the last war, Sir Churchill had been promoting his radical strategy of having the Royal Navy break into the Baltic Sea, shell German cities, and land Marines on the northern coast of Germany." The Governor's expression was reminiscing about the past, and the implication was that "it is not at all surprising that Churchill made such an opinion".

Isabella sighed.

She turned her head to look out the window at the snowfall, her brow still frowning.
