10 Downing Street, London, UK. December 1827.

When the news reached the center of power in the British Empire that a British warship carrying the family of the former Indian Emperor Arbuck II had traveled thousands of miles around the African continent and from the South Atlantic to the North Atlantic, finally arrived at the center of power in the British Empire, Prime Minister Robinson, who was holding a naval armament conference, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great, the Indian Empire is now firmly under the control of Kaiser Wilhelm...... Now, the British Empire finally has a good son who can sacrifice everything for her! And, with the sacrifice of this good son, we in the British Empire will be able to take the initiative in the struggle!"

The so-called initiative of struggle actually refers to the initiative to wage war!

The governments of Great Britain and Ming are actually responsible cabinets. It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been engaged in a "coalition government" and a "big government" for a long time, so the power of the Ming Cabinet is greater than that of the British Cabinet, but it is not something that can be done as much as it wants. For example, when it comes to war with Britain, the Ming cabinet cannot be the master, and it has to be repeatedly discussed by the parliamentary meeting, then voted on, and finally reported to the emperor and the queen mother for approval.

Moreover, even within the Ming Cabinet, there are many people who oppose rash war. The strategy of the Ming cabinet is actually to "bet small and win, and stop at any time", not to start a war with Britain immediately.

Things are even more troublesome on Britain's side, let alone a war, even if you have to fight with Daming for the "10 million tons of ships", it will be impossible to pass in the lower house of parliament...... The cost of building tens of millions of tons of ships is at least 1 billion pounds! How could the lower house of parliament possibly agree? This was agreed, and before the 10 million ton ship was built, the exchange rate of the pound collapsed first!

Robinson has been joined by opposition leaders in the House of Commons, as well as with representatives of the British financial community, Nathan Bush. Rothschild negotiated privately, and the cap price they gave was 300 million pounds to make 3 million tons...... Moreover, the expenses for 200 airships are also included!

In addition, the 300 million pounds of ship construction costs are not allocated all at once, and if they are allocated over 15 years, it will be 20 million pounds a year, and it cannot be more. Although the cost of building a ship of 20 million pounds is also a lot, at least 20 ships with a displacement of 10,000-15,000 can be built. But how much will the Ming Dynasty make? Their 10 million ton plan certainly has an element of bragging, but at a 6% discount, it can also be twice as large as the scale of shipbuilding in the UK...... After 15 years, it will be 3 million against 6 million, and the advantage is in the enemy!

In addition to the fact that the scale of shipbuilding is controlled by the parliament, the British cabinet, like the Ming cabinet, does not have the power to start a war on its own, especially with an opponent like the Ming Dynasty!

If you want the parliament to empower the cabinet to seize the opportunity to start a war with the Ming at any time, not to mention that the Whigs will not agree, even the Tories will have to fry the pot, and even more than half of the cabinet members will have to quit playing.

Therefore, when the best time for war comes, it is very likely that the cabinet will not be able to grasp the opportunity to quickly defeat the Ming Dynasty due to the obstruction of the parliament......

But now, Britain has an "independent, self-reliant" and righteous India.

Kaiser Wilhelm of India had more power than the King of the British Empire plus his cabinet!

In India, Kaiser Wilhelm not only had the freedom to tax and indebtedness, but also the freedom to expand the army and navy and wage war.

So when the British Empire "owned" the Indian Empire, it also indirectly had the freedom to pay taxes, to pay debts, to go to war, and to expand its army. And as long as the British Empire does not end up, it can still maintain the dignity of a neutral country after the defeat of India.

This Indian righteous son is so filial! Sacrifice yourself properly to protect your father!

The British Prime Minister was about to say a few good words in praise of India when he had just reported to the Foreign Secretary of State Robert Murphy, who had reported that the former Emperor of India had arrived in the United Kingdom. Peel suddenly handed another report to the prime minister, "Mr. Prime Minister, this is the report on the tripartite dispute between the United States, Mexico, and the Ming Dynasty that the secretary of Whitehall sent just now."

"The United States, Mexico, and the Ming Dynasty?" The British Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, "I know that the Americans and Mexicans have been fighting openly and secretly for Texas and some other territories, but I don't remember that Daming was involved."

Robert. Peel said, "Actually, Da Ming hasn't been involved yet, but this day is not far off!"

"Oh? Why?" As the British Prime Minister spoke, he took the report and looked at it, and after reading it for a while, he frowned and said, "No...... This is a report on the discovery of megalomania oil fields in western Pennsylvania. According to reliable sources, the Americans drilled a high-yield oil well with a daily output of 6,000 barrels of oil using equipment imported from Daming in a small town called Pittolai, and some people also drilled oil in the nearby town of Titusville, which also produced 2,000 barrels per day.

According to experts' estimates, there may be tens of millions of tons of oil in western Pennsylvania that can be extracted! What a lucky American, now they are going to get rich...... But what does this have to do with Mexico and the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes!"

One of the founders of the British Conservative Party in history, if Robert Brown, a big veteran of the Tories Party, was the founder of the British Conservative Party. Peel explained: "Viscount Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty, told me that we in the British Empire need oil...... It is very much needed, because oil can provide a powerful power to the navy of the British Empire!"

Palmerston immediately picked up the topic and continued, "According to the research report provided by the Admiralty, even spraying oil on coal to support combustion may greatly improve the combustion efficiency of boilers. Presumably, it can be boosted by more than 50% at most.

There is also public information that recently Jiangnan Heavy Industry of the Ming Empire installed a power generation system for a power plant that includes several oil-fired boilers and a large steam turbine, and its maximum power is likely to exceed 40,000 horsepower! If Daming put such a power system on a battleship......

"40,000 horsepower? How many horsepower are there in our monarchy?"

"9,000 horsepower is indicative, and the maximum horsepower is 11,000 horsepower when ventilated under strong pressure." Palmerston reported the relevant data in a good manner, and then frowned and said, "Prime Minister, according to our expert research, the upper limit of the three-expansion steam engine is 30,000 horsepower...... Further up, the equipment is too huge!

The use of coal-fired boilers and steam turbines to power the battleship is capped at about 40,000-50,000 horsepower. Further, you have to get fueled! If we can't solve the problem of stable supply of oil for a long time, then once the Ming Dynasty miniaturizes the equipment used for power generation and puts it on the battleship, then they may run faster than our armored cruiser if they come to any battleship! So ......."

"I see!" Prime Minister Robinson nodded, "We need American oil, so ...... The contradictions between the Ming Dynasty and the United States are inevitable!"

"Prime Minister," said Foreign Secretary Robert Brown. Peel laughed, "In fact, the contradictions between Americans and the Ming are difficult to reconcile! President Monroe has always claimed that the Americas are Americans...... The Ming Dynasty occupies New Manchuria in the northwest of the Americas, and is still coveting Oregon, and often people from the Ming Dynasty go to Oregon to find gold. And Oregon is theoretically co-governed by us and the Americans. We can use the discovery of gold in Oregon as an excuse to announce the auction of our interest in Oregon!

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has always been a staunch supporter of the Mexican Emperor Agustin I. The United States, on the other hand, has always supported the Republicans in Mexico...... In order to obtain a loan from the Ming Dynasty, Agustin I mortgaged the mineral development rights and land development rights of California to the Ming Dynasty, allowing the citizens and companies of the Ming Dynasty to cultivate and mine there at will. And Daming's mining company has discovered a lot of gold in California!"

Prime Minister Robinson snorted, "How is it that luck is on the enemy's side?"

Robert. "Prime Minister, finding gold is not only lucky, but also disaster. Previously, the conflict between the United States and Mexico was only on the Texas side of the land suitable for growing cotton...... By the way, that Emperor Augustine may soon find a way to develop Texas without relying on the Americans!"

"What's the solution?" Robinson asked, "If Americans have black slaves, do they ...... Mexico?"

"Not a slave," Robert. "The Emperor of Mexico could lease the land of Texas to the Ming farmers, who would employ Japanese workers who were hard-working and much more efficient than the black slaves!"

"Could Agustin I think of this?" Robinson was a little skeptical.

Robert. Peel said, "Our diplomats will make him think of it! If Ming farmers and Japanese workers had entered Texas, we would have found gold in the Oregon colonies...... And ready to transfer our interests in this colony! And Daming's weapons and equipment are constantly entering Mexico! Prime Minister, do you think the United States will need us?"
