Hampton Court Palace, London, England.

King George IV sat on the throne in the audience hall and watched the sick new Prime Minister George IV. Canning, looking helpless. Then he turned his attention to the Duke of Wellington, who was old but still in good spirits.

In fact, according to the king's mind, the most suitable person to lead the British Empire now is undoubtedly the Duke of Wellington, who is about to go to India to take up his post - he is tough enough, and he has many friends and admirers on the European continent, and he has eight in the rank of marshal alone (one of whom is also the marshal of the eight countries)!

But as a distinguished professional soldier, he made both the Tories and the Whigs who controlled the lower house of parliament feel jealous...... Although there are not a few soldiers of the British Empire who have turned into politics. But the Duke of Wellington's prestige was so high that it inevitably reminded people of Cromwell.

Moreover, this big man who is a military strategist and a politician has openly stated more than once: "Factional struggle greatly harms the interests of the country!" ”

This seems to indicate that he really has the idea of outlawing the Tories and Whigs for military disarmament...... Thinking of this, George IV also had to sigh and pay tribute to George. "Mr. Canning, as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, what strategy do you intend to use to deal with today's complex and difficult international situation?" ”

George. Canning frowned and said, "Your Majesty, on the European continent, there is only one country that has the potential to pose a threat to the United Kingdom, and that is the Rakshasa Empire. If we break with the Rakshasa Empire because of the Constantinople problem, then we will not be able to unite the whole of Europe. ”

George IV frowned, "Prime Minister, do you really want the Rakshasas to get Constantinople?" ”

George. Canning immediately shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, of course I won't let the Rakshasas get Constantinople, and they will never get that Emperor's City!" But for now, we must unite the Rakshasa Kingdom, otherwise we will not be able to launch a counterattack against the Ming Empire in India, Central Asia, Malacca, Japan, etc.! It is impossible to make Da Ming and Rakshasa turn against each other. If the Ming and Rakshasa form an alliance, then the United Kingdom will soon lose the empire that belongs to her. For the United Kingdom, this would be nothing short of devastating. And the Ming Empire will ...... Win without a fight! ”

I have to say, George. Although Canning has a bit of a sense of justice, he is still sharp-witted and flexible enough.

"Prime Minister," the Duke of Wellington on the side couldn't help but speak, "have you ever thought about the consequences of the Rakshasas getting Constantinople?" This will not be the end of the Rakshasa expansion along the Mediterranean coast, but only the beginning!

They will then march on all of Asia Minor, Syria, Jerusalem, and even Egypt! Once Egypt fell into the hands of the Rakshasas, the Suyinshi Canal came into the hands of the Rakshasas...... At that time, the Rakshasa navy will enter the Indian Ocean! ”

"Duke, I fully understand the ambitions of the Rakshasa Kingdom," George. "But the question now is, we don't allow the Rakshasa to march into Constantinople, so they won't do it?" In fact, the key to this problem is not Rakshasa at all, but Daming! As soon as the Ming Dynasty intervenes in this war against the Turks, Ali Pasha will definitely defect...... And without Ali Pasha's army, the Ottoman Turkish Empire simply could not withstand the army of the Rakshasas!

And as soon as the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire becomes inevitable, as soon as the strong expectation of the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire appears, then everyone will oppose the Ottoman Turkish Empire! If we want to prevent the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, we have to go to the Ottoman Empire to form an alliance...... And this move will push the Rakshasa Kingdom to the side of the Ming Empire!

And...... The results of the Battle of Ji Yin showed that the Royal Navy was not ready to defeat the Ming Navy! So now the British Empire can't choose to take a big gamble. ”

Before George. Canning advocated a "fake gamble" to scare off the Ming, but in the recent Battle of Jiyin, the British Royal Navy's most powerful "monarchy" class had proven worthless.

In this case, choosing to "fake gamble" will not only not scare off the Ming Dynasty, but will scare off the allies and potential allies of the British Empire.

So the British Empire must change its tactics!

George IV frowned and asked: "In other words, we can only use Constantinople to win over the Rakshasa country and let the Rakshasas side with us?" ”

"Your Majesty," George. "The Ottoman Empire was a vast empire, and although she was dying, no country could swallow it completely......," Canning said The United Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom, France, Austria and other Western powers will all get their share of the legacy of the dead Ottoman Turkish Empire!

And before we decide to kill her, we must first determine how to divide her inheritance...... We now need an international conference to discuss this most interesting issue! ”

George IV already understood George a little. Canning's intentions were out, and he asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean...... We want to use this meeting to isolate the Ming Dynasty, contain the Rakshasas, and unite all the countries of Western, Central, and Southern Europe? ”

"Your Majesty is wise," said George. "In addition to the above-mentioned purposes, we should also make satisfactory gains on the issue of naval armament and on the question of curbing the expansionist ambitions of the Ming Empire." ”

"What should we do?" The King of England asked.

"Your Majesty," George. Canning replied, "First of all, we should choose an empress for the Eastern Roman Empire of Constantinople and the whole of Rumillia!" ”

"Alexandra. Victoria? ”

"Yes," said George. Canning said, "She'll be Alexander. The fiancée of Grand Duke Nikolaevich...... Nicholas I would have been pleased with this arrangement. ”

George IV shrugged, "Queen of the United Kingdom, Empress of the Roman Empire, Empress of the Indian Empire...... Emperor Nicholas was going to wake up laughing when he slept! ”

"But as long as Her Royal Highness does not become queen and empress, and does not marry Archduke Alexander and give birth to an heir, then everything is undecided." George. "But that's enough to keep the Rakshasa Kingdom on our side for a long time to come!" ”

George IV nodded: "That's right, Britain is not a Rakshasa after all." In the UK, parliament wields power...... Members of the House of Commons would not welcome an overly powerful king. ”

"Your Majesty is right." George. Canning nodded, not continuing the conversation.

Because everyone knows that Alexandra, the empress of the Roman Empire and the crown princess of the Rakshasa Empire. There is a great deal of uncertainty as to whether Victoria I will be the queen of the United Kingdom!

George. Canning added: "With the support of the Rakshasa countries, the troubles of India and Afghanistan can be satisfactorily resolved...... And the Ming Empire will not continue to escalate the confrontation with us, they will ask for a military port in the Strait of Malacca at most, and will not ask Australia again.

And an excessively powerful Rakshasa would terrify Austria, France, Prussia, and Sweden, which would stand firmly on the side of the British Empire. Even...... Ali Pasha's Arab Empire would also seek the protection of the British Empire because of its fear of the Rakshasa Empire. As far as I know, Ali Pasha is a politician with a fairly flexible moral bottom line. ”

"But the Rakshasas will eventually get Constantinople and Rumilla...... said the Duke of Wellington, "and then Rome and the Rakshasa will become one!" When the time comes, those Slavs will become Romans! ”

George. Canning smiled: "The premise is that the Rakshasas can really take Constantinople!" ”

The Duke of Wellington was stunned: "Ali Pasha has defected, will they still be able to defeat Constantinople?" ”

George. Canning smiled and said, "Who knows? Perhaps Ali Pasha has changed his mind again and is not going to defect. Maybe the French will secretly support Turkey...... It's not the first time they've done this, maybe the Austrians will clash with the Rakshasas because of Balkan interests, maybe Poland will rebel! In short, as long as the Rakshasas choose to ally with us, there will be too much uncertainty. ”
