The weather in London in September is mild and humid, and the increase in rain has made the fog that has been hanging over London all year round clear a lot, and the air has become much fresher. However, such a change has also made people living in London a little uncomfortable. Some industrial and commercial capitalists even thought that this did not reflect the great industrial strength of Britain.

Ever since Queen Victoria authorized the Indian colonies and the Straits Settlements to wage war against the new Chinese nation, almost all the British people were desperate for victory. They hoped that this time the heroic army and navy would be able to defeat the Xinhua as they had defeated the Qing Dynasty, so that those yellow-skinned monkeys would know how powerful Britain was, and then open their markets to Britain with great convincingness, so that they could make huge profits.

It's just that these British people never expected that in the end, what they were waiting for was the news that the British Navy was completely wiped out, Singapore was fiercely attacked by the Xinhua Army, and the fall was imminent. This undoubtedly poured cold water on the heads of the hot-headed Britons and sobered them up. However, many people did not think that it was their fault, but that it was the incompetence of the government, which led to the defeat of the army.

Outside the Prime Minister's House in Downing Street, many British people come to protest every day. Peel's cabinet was struggling. This war was the case with Prime Minister Robert Brown. Sir Peel strongly pushed for almost all the ministers in the cabinet to support waging war against the new country. I hope to be able to step on Xinhuaguo's body and let them gain greater prestige. However, the end result was a fiasco. This is completely stealing chickens and not losing a handful of rice. And now. It's time for these guys to take responsibility.

Prime Minister's Office, British Prime Minister Robert Brown. In Sir Peel's office, several important ministers of the British Cabinet were all gathered here. It's just that everyone is sad and doesn't know how to deal with the current situation.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the news has been confirmed. The combined fleet of the Far East Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet was defeated by the Xinhua Navy. The commander, Rear Admiral Allen, led the remaining remnants of the army, and also surrendered to the Xinhua Navy. Other than that. The Xinhua Army has landed in Singapore, and their offensive is very fierce, without the help of the navy, although we have tens of thousands of troops in Singapore. However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to stop the attack of the Xinhua Army. "British Foreign Secretary George . Hamilton. Gordon said with a dark face. When the news of the defeat came. The senior officials of the British cabinet did not believe it at all, perhaps they did not want to believe it. However, news continued to come that Lord Ellenborough, the Viceroy of India, also wrote in person, asking Britain to send heavy troops to the Indian colonies to prepare to defend against the attack of the Xinhua Army on India. This made the senior officials of the British cabinet have to accept this fact.

Prime Minister Robert. Sir Peel's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water. The reason why he actively promoted the war with Xinhua was entirely because of the Minister of the Admiralty, George Brown. Sir Cockburn and War Secretary George Brown. Sir Nugent assured him. The British troops deployed in the Straits Settlements and the Indian colonies would certainly be able to defeat the New Zealand. Plus Robert. Sir Peel also hopes to raise his reputation to the next level with a great victory, just like his predecessor, William. Sir Lamb is the same. However, the cruel reality gave him a hard slap, and now he should think about how to get through this crisis. This is definitely the biggest trouble he has encountered since he came to power and formed a cabinet. Especially when the news of the defeat came, the opposition Whig party's John . Lord Russell began to jump up and down and asked Robert to get up. Sir Peel took responsibility for the failure, and members of Parliament began to criticize Robert Lee. Sir Peel's foreign policy, which made Robert . Sir Peel was under tremendous pressure. If he doesn't do well, he could really be ousted.

"Last evening, Her Majesty summoned me, and she was very concerned about our failure. The Duke of Wellington also expressed the same concern. We are in a very bad situation, and if we can't calm the anger of the people at home, we will probably have to submit our resignation to Her Majesty. "Robert. Sir Peel said.

The ministers of the cabinet are a little unpleasant, and if the cabinet falls, it will undoubtedly mean that their career will come to an end. Even though Britain is a democracy, the top bureaucrats who can become the world's hegemon still enjoy the power in their hands. If they are ousted from power, how can they stand it, who are used to enjoying power?

"Let's all talk about it, is there a way to get us through this crisis?" Robert. Sir Peel said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, judging from the information currently available, the fall of the Straits Settlements is inevitable. However, we will be able to hold on to the Indian colonies. I immediately sent troops from the country and the African colonies to India to strengthen India's defenses. In addition, Lord Ehrenborough could be authorized to recruit more troops from India to defend against the invasion of the Xinhua army. India has a large population, and the indigenous Indians are docile and have been tamed by us. We can completely use those indigenous Indians to resist the Xinhua army. "Secretary of War George . Sir Nugant said.

"Your Excellency, India is our most important colony, and we must ensure India's security." Foreign Secretary George . Hamilton. Earl Gordon said. India is known as the most important British colony, and if it is lost, they will be torn to pieces by an angry populace. Although the British had not been in full possession of India for a short time, they were able to reap handsome benefits from India every year. And over time, more and more benefits are gained. The loss of India would be a huge blow to Britain. Cabinet officials, none of them can afford it.

"Hmmm! India must not lose it. Sir Huls, after the meeting you will begin to prepare to send troops to India. "Robert. Sir Peel nodded. In any case, India must be preserved first, and that is the most important thing at this stage.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Secretary of War George Brown. Sir Nugant said.

"What about the Navy? Can we organize an expeditionary fleet to go to the South Seas to defeat the Xinhua Navy and turn the tide of the war? "Robert. Sir Peel said. If successful, this may be their only chance to turn the tables around.

The other cabinet ministers also looked at the Admiralty Chancellor George. Sir Cockburn. It is hoped that the Navy will have a way to change the current situation. In this case, maybe they will be able to escape.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, in this battle in the South China Sea, we have lost 46 Apollo-class warships. At present, the British Royal Navy has only a total of 90 'Apollo-class' warships. The rest of the battleships are all old-fashioned battleships. A series of previous naval battles have proven that the old warships are no match for the newer ones. What's more, from the information we have obtained, the Xinhua Navy is equipped with a kind of steam warship with strong firepower, fast speed, and extremely perverted protection, this kind of warship is more powerful than the most powerful warship of the Royal Navy now. Therefore, I have to regret to tell you that the Royal Navy has no way to defeat the Xinhua Navy at present. The Royal Navy has already issued an order for the first time to speed up the development of our steam warfare ships. However, we still need time. "George. Sir Cockburn said. There is no doubt that what they are most lacking right now is time. Their political enemies won't give them that much time to turn the tables around.

Listened to George. After Sir Cockburn's words, everyone was a little dismayed. The best way to survive this crisis is to defeat the Xinhua Army and be disgraced. However, the current British Empire obviously has no ability to defeat the British Empire, so it can only passively defend. This undoubtedly frustrated their desire to turn the tables around.

"Gentlemen, don't we have any other way?" Prime Minister Robert. Sir Peel asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, perhaps we can try to negotiate with Xinhuaguo. Through guò peace talks to solve the problem this time. Chancellor of the Exchequer Henry. Gulburn said.

"No, no, it simply won't work. The Xinhua State has been aggressive, they have occupied the Straits Settlements, and now they pose a huge threat to India. They won't negotiate with us. Even if it is a negotiation, we will pay a huge price. This is enough to bring down the cabinet. "Foreign Secretary George. Hamilton. Sir Gordon said.

Prime Minister Robert. Sir Peel rubbed his aching brow, and said, "Well, let's all go back and think about what we can do." ”

The cabinet ministers are gone, and Robert Brown. Sir Peel stood behind the glass window on the second floor of the Prime Minister's House, looking at the crowd of protesters outside the Prime Minister's House, his eyes gloomy.

On September 14, 1843, the Whig leader John Brown was born. Lord Russell initiated the impeachment of the Cabinet in the British Parliament. Because of the crushing defeat of the British army this time, many members of the parliament were very dissatisfied with the cabinet. Even those who voted yes in favor of Robert . The MPs who started the war against the Xinhua Kingdom by Sir Peel also immediately changed their views and demanded that Robert . Sir Peel is extremely responsible. Queen Victoria also remained silent. After all, the British army suffered a crushing defeat, which also dealt a great blow to her prestige.

After a vote, the impeachment of the British Parliament came into effect. Robert. Sir Peel led the Cabinet Ministers and announced their general resignation. This cabinet's collapse because of defeat! (To be continued......)
