"Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, I'm going to kill him! Your Excellency, send a telegram to my mother at once, kill that damned Chinese prince! "British Crown Prince Albert. Prince Edward, in the room of the British embassy in the Kingdom of Prussia, roared. In front of him was the Earl of Granville, the British Foreign Secretary, who accompanied him on this trip.

Albert. Prince Edward was very angry, he was beaten down by the Chinese prince with two punches, which was a complete shame for him. Although Prince Longhua was three years older than him. However, in terms of figure, he still has an advantage. As a result, as soon as the two fought, he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"Damn, it must be the reason for that guy's sneak attack. If he dares to duel with me, I will definitely be able to knock him down easily! "Albert. Prince Edward thought.

The British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, was a little speechless, he never expected that such a thing would happen. This crown prince is really unlearned. In front of so many people, he openly insulted a powerful empire. Does he still have a brain? He really couldn't imagine if one day Albert. If Prince Edward succeeded to the throne and became the king of England, what would it take to take England?

"Your Royal Highness, it is impossible for us to openly rob and kill the Chinese prince. In this case, the image of the British Empire in the whole world would be ruined. The Earl of Granville shook his head. Kill the Chinese prince, so Albert . Prince Edward also spoke. If it is known to the outside world, I am afraid it will cause another uproar. Prince of China. But the only heir to the Chinese Empire! If he had any strengths and weaknesses, it would inevitably make the young emperor of the Chinese Empire crazy. When the time comes. The Chinese Empire and the British Empire, a large-scale war will break out. It could even turn into a war of annihilation. The British government could not have provoked such a war.

"Your Excellency, the Prince of China has beaten me, and this is an insult to the British Empire. Is the British Empire just watching? "Albert. Prince Edward, looking at the Earl of Granville in amazement, did not seem to have thought that his request would be denied.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, take good care of your wounds! How to deal with relations with the Chinese Empire. The cabinet will take care of it! After the Earl of Granville had finished speaking, he walked out of Albert. Prince Edward's room. At the moment of closing the door, the Earl of Granville seemed to hear something smashed inside. There was a crisp sound.

The Earl of Granville shook his head speechlessly, although the relationship between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire had become worse and worse. But now the war begins. Not a good thing. The British Empire could not ensure that it would be in the middle of war. You'll definitely be able to get an advantage. This time, the Chinese fleet escorting the imperial prince of China to Prussia, the powerful 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships, the comprehensive performance was no worse than the most powerful 'Nelson-class' battleships of the British Navy, and even stronger. What's more, the British cabinet also learned from other sources that the Chinese Navy is also building more advanced warships. It seems that it will not be easy for the British Royal Navy to defeat the Chinese Navy. If the navy is unable to win and wants to defeat the Chinese Empire. That's even more difficult. The army has always been the strength of the Chinese Empire. Even the Russians were no match for the Chinese Empire. And even more so the British?

Therefore, consider these factors in combination. It is not a good idea to go to war with the Chinese Empire now. At least, it will be after the deployment of the United Kingdom is complete.

The Earl of Granville this time with Albert. Prince Edward visited the Kingdom of Prussia together in addition to attending Frederick. In addition to the funeral of Wilhelm IV and the enthronement of Wilhelm I, the more important task was to consolidate the good relations between the British Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia, preferably to bring the Kingdom of Prussia closer to the British-led alliance. With a population of more than 30 million, the Kingdom of Prussia has become an important and powerful country in Europe due to its strong industrial and military strength. Britain needed the Kingdom of Prussia as an ally.

However, the Earl of Granville also knew that it would be very difficult to bring the Kingdom of Prussia closer to the Alliance. Among other things, the relationship between the other power of the Alliance and the Kingdom of Prussia was enough to give Britain a headache. After the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Kingdom of Denmark and the Austrian Empire, its ambition to unify Germany was already clear. The four states of southern Germany were under French influence. If the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to unify Germany, it had to defeat France.

France also did not want to see a powerful German empire formed, so they would never watch the unification of the Kingdom of Prussia complete, and would inevitably interfere with the unification of Germany. Therefore, this will lead to a war between the two countries in the future. Even the British could not stop it. The contradictions between Franco-Prussian and Franco-Prussian countries are irreconcilable.

On the morning of November 21, 1848, the British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, paid a visit to the new Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Otto Brown. Feng. Bismarck, the two had a two-hour meeting. No one knows what they were talking about, except that the Count of Granville had been seen leaving the Chancellery of the Kingdom of Prussia with a blank face, as if he had not been able to achieve the desired purpose.

The Earl of Granville with Otto. Feng. When Bismarck met, Otto. Feng. Bismarck, on behalf of the Kingdom of Prussia, first apologized to the Count of Granville for what had happened last night. After all, the British crown prince was beaten during the banquet held by the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Kingdom of Prussia was also responsible.

The Earl of Granville did not say much about this, and he asked Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck said that this was a conflict between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire, and had nothing to do with the Kingdom of Prussia. Subsequently, the talks between the two got to the point.

"Your Excellency, the aggressive expansion of the Chinese Empire has now become a threat to the entire Western world. The Chinese Empire now controlled most of Asia, the entire Pacific Ocean, and millions of square kilometers of land in western North America. Almost half the world is in control. If this continues, the ambition of the Chinese Empire will definitely occupy the whole world. The Western world needs to unite to resist the expansion of the Chinese Empire. The British Empire hoped that the Kingdom of Prussia would also join the British-led alliance! Said the Earl of Granville.

"Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Prussia, does not want to get involved in the contradictions between the British Empire and the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Prussia had just unified northern Germany, and it needed to focus more energy on domestic construction, and had no time to go abroad for the time being. "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck, politely declined the invitation of the Earl of Granville. In fact, there was a secret agreement between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Chinese Empire. Proceeding from the interests of the Kingdom of Prussia, it was impossible for them to be the enemy of the Chinese Empire together with the British.

Unless, the British, could abandon France and fully support the unification of the Kingdom of Prussia. In this case, the Kingdom of Prussia may reconsider. But, is this possible? From the present point of view, the strength of France is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the Kingdom of Prussia. Whether it is population or industry, France has the upper hand. In terms of military strength, the strength of the French Army will not be worse than that of the Army of the Kingdom of Prussia. France's powerful navy could completely defeat the almost blank navy of the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, it was impossible for the British to abandon France in favor of the Kingdom of Prussia in any way.

What the British hoped was that France and the Kingdom of Prussia would coexist peacefully, and that they would concentrate their strength against the Chinese Empire. However, this was not doomed.

"I do not deny, Your Excellency Prime Minister, that in recent times the relations between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia seem to have grown closer and closer. However, Your Excellency Prime Minister should be clear that if a war breaks out between the Western world and the Chinese Empire, it will definitely be the Western world that will win in the future. If the Kingdom of Prussia wanted to take sides, the British Empire would be the first choice. Said the Earl of Granville.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the Kingdom of Prussia will think about it!" Otto. Feng. Bismarck, as if he had not heard the threat from the mouth of the Count of Granville, replied calmly.

The Earl of Granville nodded, and said no more.

The British had long suspected that there was any secret agreement between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. They also sent a large number of intelligence personnel to confirm the existence of this secret agreement, as well as the contents of the secret agreement. It's just that both the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia have done a very good job of secrecy, and the British intelligence officers have not succeeded.

However, a group of people, led by the Earl of Granville, believed that the secret agreement was in existence. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Prussia would not have unexpectedly gone to war with the Kingdom of Denmark. Subsequently, during the Great War between the Chinese Empire and Russia, he took the opportunity to start a war against the Austrian Empire, defeated the Austrian Empire in one fell swoop, and took the leadership of the German states. Among them, the Chinese Empire seems to be deliberately giving the Kingdom of Prussia a chance.

Britain also hoped to win over the Kingdom of Prussia, an emerging power, and unite the entire Western world to meet the challenge of the Chinese Empire. In this way, the British will be able to gain a decisive advantage. It's just that in the face of the British wooing, the Kingdom of Prussia seems to have adhered to its bottom line and remained unmoved! (To be continued......)
