Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 666

[Chapter 666 Lobbying]

“Britain is really a friend worth entrusting.” Watanabe laughed lightly.

Jack said: “Of course, and our interests are the same as those of Dongying at the moment.”

Some time ago, Dongying announced the threat of King Yan to him. He didn’t take it seriously, but was a little wary.

But now, the king of Yan has more than 30 sailing warships, and he has also destroyed the navy of Dongpu.

He can’t ignore it.

Because this is beyond Britain’s naval power in the East.

He must feed this news back to Governor Bolt, so that he can adjust Dongtu’s strategy according to the situation.

After all, Britain’s next strategy is to first tame the Dasong Liang family, which is now the state of Wu, through war, and let Wu become a British colony like Tianzhu.

But if the king of Yan has the ambition of unifying the emperor, they will have a conflict of interest.

Therefore, he agreed to the Watanabe case after all for Britain’s own interests.

As the Watanabe case said, Dongying was a dynasty with a population of 30 million in Dongtu.

At the moment, there was a serious conflict with the Dasong Yan King.

There is no doubt that such Dongpu is very suitable as Britain’s thug in the East.

After all, Britain is too far away from the east, which is not conducive to the war against King Yan.

But Japan can make up for this disadvantage.

Moreover, he was worried that the King Yan had built more than 30 warships in a short period of time.

He didn’t believe that King Yan was just using it to deal with Dongpu.

If this king of Yan declared the same ownership of the New World as the country of Sam when the country was founded, he declared the ownership of the eastern land and competed with them for the interests of the eastern land.

Then Tianzhu, which is closer to Dasong, will be threatened.

Among Britain’s many overseas assets, Tianzhu is Britain’s most valued colony.

Therefore, when the sphere of influence of the State of Ross penetrated into the middle land, Britain chose to surround it everywhere, worrying that the State of Ross would compete with them for the interests of Tianzhu.

Today, the King of Yan seems to be more threatening than the country of Ross.

He has to be more vigilant.

This made him temporarily suppress the anger that had arisen because of the establishment of ties between Dongpu and the country of Sam.

However, he still decided to provoke the relationship between Dongying and Sam Country, so he said, “If Dongying can sever ties with Sam Country, I believe Governor Bolt will be more willing to provide help to Dongying.

” At that time, he thought of this question, and he already had the answer in his heart. He said: “We have no choice but to communicate with the country of Sam. You must have heard the sound of the guns of the warships of the country of Sam. At present, Dongpu already has a great song.” This enemy, it is obviously unwise to provoke a powerful country of Sam, unless Britain is willing to expel the people of Sam.”

Jack was dumbfounded for a moment, the meaning of the Watanabe case was very clear, and he wanted them to force Britain to expel the people of Sam.

This is of course impossible.

The country of Sam has been independent from Britain for more than fifty years.

In the beginning, in order to suppress the country of Sam, they did wage a war with the country of Sam for decades.

However, due to the support of Frank, Sterdan and other countries to the country of Sam, their encirclement and suppression failed.

After that, they had to recognize the country of Sam.

Now, although the relationship between Britain and Sam’s country is still bad, the war between them has ceased, and sometimes there is cooperation in certain common interests.

At the moment, it is impossible to start a war with the people of Sam for the sake of Japan.

Smiling awkwardly, he looked at Watanabe, and found that there was a hint of cunning in Watanabe’s eyes.

There was a burst of anger in his heart. It was obvious that the Watanabe case was between the Kingdom of Sam and the Kingdom of Britain, and both sides were seeking benefits.

But he had to admit that the Watanabe case was a smart man, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

Britain cannot give up Japan.

Because it is obvious that Dasong is a greater threat than Dongpu.

Furthermore, there are no permanent enemies or friends between countries. The only thing that is permanent is interest.

The presence of the people of Sam in the East is not necessarily a bad thing.

Perhaps they can find common interests again in dealing with the Great Song Kingdom.

After a few casual chats, the Watanabe case left the British Consulate, went to the Sam Consulate, and met with Elson.

After the bombardment of Edo last time, Eilson stayed in Edo as the consul of Sam’s country in Dongying.

According to his understanding, among the countries in the western lands, the production of sailing warships in Sam’s country ranks first, because Sam’s country has a large amount of high-quality wood.

Moreover, the flight distance from Sam Country to Dongying is shorter.

What’s more, since the country of Sam is a country that has just been established, the goods sold are cheaper for trade.

He believed Sam Congress would be more than willing to sell them the battleship.

However, Sam’s country’s firearms technology is still slightly inferior to that of Britain.

That is why he bought warships from the country of Sam, and guns and artillery from the Britons.

“Consul Eilson, once the King of Yan defeats the coalition against Yan, the next step will be to cross the Jiujiang River and attack the Kingdom of Wu. I believe you will not want to see the King of Yan occupy the Kingdom of Wu, will you?” Watanabe said. The case deliberately provoked.

Elson’s face was a little pale, and the news of the surprise attack on the Dongying Navy made him a little shocked.

Like Jack, he also didn’t expect that the king of Yan who praised the north would grow up so fast.

However, since there are no colonies in the East, he is not as nervous and urgent as Jack.

However, during this period of time, Wu Guo gave them a lot of benefits in business and trade in order to win them over and contain the Britons.

If King Yan conquered Wu, their commercial interests would be damaged, which he did not want to see.

And the rise of Yan Wang is indeed worrying.

Obviously, it will threaten the interests of the countries of the West in the East.

However, he didn’t think it was necessary to directly conflict with King Yan.

However, it is indeed necessary to hold a chess piece that can contain King Yan and implement a balance of power strategy.

Obviously, Dongpu is very suitable to be this chess piece.

On the premise of not directly conflicting with the King of Yan, they can arm Dongpu and use Dongpu’s battle with the Dasong King Yan to gain greater benefits.

Thinking of this, he said: “I will report this matter to the Congress. The general just needs to wait for the news.” The

Watanabe case was a joy, and his lobbying this time was extremely smooth.

Then, a bolder idea was born in his mind.

It is not impossible to establish an alliance with Dongpu as the core, Beidi, and the Western Turks participating.

The Dongying navy was destroyed, and it was impossible to say that he was not afraid at all.

But if he can facilitate this alliance, King Yan has to think about it if he wants to deal with them.
