The first update

Not to mention the sincerity of this unbreakable political alliance, in fact, the two sides are basically well aware of the attitude of cooperation between the two countries, and Berlin and the Tuileries Palace are also at the level of five or five open. One only wanted to get a piece of the other party's results, and the other wanted to unite and defeat France and then destroy the other side with a backhand.

Although Napoleon's operation was more challenging, because his allies would become enemies after the war, he had to use this time to weaken the opponent as much as possible, especially after the war with England.

To what extent will the scale of the war be expanded? Napoleon is also not sure, but the meat grinder of the First World War France has been carried down, and will it be afraid of a three-country war?

After the departure of Foreign Minister Dekaz, Frederick III had already begun to consider what should be requested for this meeting. According to the private agreement between himself and France, Egyptian land could not escape. But he also wanted greater political gains, and sought to overpower Germany over the two old colonial empires.

Frederick III crossed his hands and looked delighted with joy in his eyes.

"The Germans are not fools, Chancellor Bismarck's pedantic vision is not destined to bring the country what it deserves, and I am the next Frederick the Great."

As for the fact that London has exploded now, Westminster Abbey Congress has never been so lively. Britain's defeat in Egypt has made Prime Minister Gladstone's political career even worse, especially with two changes of coach and the arrest of the manager, which made Great Britain lose all hands for the first time.

It was the Duke of Cambridge, and his arrest was the equivalent of a bitter blow to France at Waterloo. The dwarf, who looked like Napoleon, would have held a grudge against him, and regarded George's arrest as a supreme honor.

After all, the arrest of the Duke of Cambridge is equivalent to the death of General Wellington at the hands of the French.

France, your glory has finally returned.

The Egyptian army, having lost its British commander, was in disarray and finally surrendered to the French! The Mediterranean fleet had routed the French fleet and was only two hours late to the port of Alexandria, but George had already been escorted to the French base camp in Cairo.

Britain lost, lost in a mess. As they prophesied, they could not crush the unbreakable French League! Germany, the biggest beneficiary, has always been a bystander.

At this time, even the Sultan also came with bad news, the British army lost in the encirclement and suppression operation, and even the commander Hicks was killed by the enemy, and the Mahdi Kingdom had the intention of uniting with the French government to unify the situation in the Sudan.

The most difficult question facing the British government was how to deal with the aftermath of Egypt's defeat.

And once Egypt loses its important strategic location, where will the British Empire go next?

Napoleon calculated the timing and presented the Trilateral Council to Prime Minister Gladstone, and he planned to hold a special meeting with Gladstone and Frederick III, which would determine the final fate of Egypt.

Gladstone could not bear this absurdity, and he vowed to stomp everyone in the Tuileries Palace under his feet. Even ready for a large-scale war, an offensive against France!

The old accounts that were not settled during the Hundred Years War are now settled together.

However, Prime Minister Gladstone apparently did not realise that internal criticism preceded external pressure, and the Duke of George was arrested, and it was the nobles who were the first to attack.

They believe that it is clearly the incompetence of the prime minister that has caused the current situation!

Britain has experienced all sorts of great defeats, but never four or five defeats in a row, and the defeat of the British Empire in various parts of the world has made them seriously wonder if the person sitting in the prime minister's position is an incompetent and stupid fellow?

Even if a pig were to be placed in that position, it would not have caused the situation like today.

Soon, Prime Minister Gladstone's good days came to an end.

First of all, he was directly scolded by Queen Victoria, at this time the British royal family still has a certain right to speak in politics, and the prime minister can only be regarded as one of the spokesmen of the aristocratic bourgeoisie.

"I wonder what you British troops eat? Today's words are not to question you as the head of the United Kingdom, but as Queen Victoria, look at everything now, where is the identity of the British Empire? People are trampled on the ground, and they are trampled on the ground by those countries that were once there? Where is all the glory and loyalty you once swore to go? Have they all been poured into whisky? ”

"Thank God, I wonder how many incompetent members of the British Parliament remain? You can play a good hand in politics, but you can't even play the battle for colonies? What the hell are you people thinking? Watching the centuries-old legacy of our ancestors be completely destroyed? ”

Prime Minister Gladstone rarely saw Queen Victoria angry, and the last time was after he offended Queen Eugenie.

The first thing to do now is not to draw the line of responsibility, but to have the courage to admit to Queen Victoria his mistake and beg for forgiveness.

"It's our fault, we'll get Duke George back as soon as possible. The French are now asking us to negotiate with them, but I don't want to do that. The war should continue to expand, and victory is just around the corner. The British had blocked the English Channel, and at the slightest order the British fleet would attack the French coast. A certain department of the General Staff has also drawn up a plan, and we will defeat the French army one after another, just as we did in the Franco-Prussian War. ”

"The province has beaten you to the defeat of the French army, why is it that the French army is beating you now? Is that the answer you gave me? ”

Queen Victoria said angrily, "Also, remember to prepare with both hands, do you still want me to teach you this kind of thing?" Let's see what conditions the French want to put forward, and if the situation is not right, immediately suspend the negotiations and continue the war. I don't believe that these French can still defeat us? ”

"I know very well."

Prime Minister Gladstone lowered his head, but said in a firm tone, "So I will take care of these things, and after the follow-up, I will not be able to continue to sit in the position of prime minister." I'm going to ...... then."

Queen Victoria interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

"We'll talk about it then, and now the forces on all sides are very dissatisfied with you. There are already quite a few ministers who have spoken ill of you in my ear, as well as the War Office, although I don't like these traitors either, but they feel that you should be mainly responsible for this defeat, and if it were not for the change of commander, the British army would not have lost so badly. ”

At this time, the British Prime Minister was already speechless, and all the edges were pointed at himself, for only one reason, he was the British Prime Minister, so he had an unshirkable responsibility for these things.

Queen Victoria is only on point, and will not delve into some things, after all, she is just a woman. According to British tradition, sitting in this position, there is no right to ask the prime minister what he has done, but the defeat in this war is so ugly that even Queen Victoria can't help but say a few words.

"And Prime Minister Gladstone, I have to warn you that I'm only the first hurdle here. On the Parliament side, you have to come forward to explain that although the British Army does not speak, it must also have a great prejudice against your mistake of changing commanders, and I estimate that no one in the whole of Britain welcomes you now. How to deal with these problems is your business. ”

"Either war to promote peace, or humiliation to make peace. There are two paths in front of us, and I hope you can choose the right one. ”

"Finally."

Queen Victoria looked up and looked at him with an inexplicable look, "Good luck!" ”

"If you don't manage this relationship, you will become a sinner in Great Britain. Don't forget, everything that Napoleon III went through is still fresh in my mind, and no one wants to be the next Napoleon III, at least not in London. ”

Prime Minister Gladstone only felt a chill down his spine, and Queen Victoria's tone was clearly not joking, she was really emphasizing that the prime minister had fallen into the very center of the political vortex. I am afraid that it will be difficult to quell the turmoil caused by my resignation.

If the follow-up is not handled well, it will trigger a political tsunami.

Drowning all of London.
