Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 817

[Chapter 817 Ashley]

“Look at the anger of the townspeople, this defeat really embarrasses us in Britain, these years, the Navy has really become more and more disgraceful.”

A black ornate carriage happened to read from the newspaper The citizens of Longton passed by.

The shouts of the citizens attracted the attention of two people in the car.

One of them is full of fat and his face is wine red. He is the British Foreign Minister Nohan. The

other is younger than Nohan. His name is William George. He is the current British Prime Minister and Queen Ashley’s private secretary. .

Hearing Nohan’s complaints, William looked out the window, “The navy is indeed a bit out of shape. Perhaps it has been too long since there has been an enemy that can threaten them. This incident is a good warning to them.” He

took off his glasses, wiped them, He looked towards Watterham Palace as if shrouded in mist.

As Longton was among the British cities, the steam industry flourished the most.

The smoke from the huge amount of coal burning hangs over the city like a ghost.

Citizens hate the smog and are proud of it at the same time.

Because it is the existence of many factories that provides them with countless jobs.

“But the point is obviously not this. What matters is that a barbaric and ignorant eastern country can build a steamship in a short period of time.” William said.

When the information from Tianzhu came to him, he couldn’t believe his eyes, and even thought Governor Bolt was crazy.

After all, it was like someone telling him a man had a baby.

It wasn’t until he repeatedly confirmed that the information was correct that he sat on the black leather jacket in his office and smoked three full cigarettes before calming down.

There is no doubt that this is the worst intelligence I have encountered since I took office as Prime Minister.

Even so bad that the country of Sam became independent from Britain.

For the independent country of Sam is nothing more than a rebellious son, but they are still of Onsa blood.

But the Dasong Yan King who rose from the east is a foreign race that is incompatible with them.

And he also has the power to destroy their vital interests in the east.

It’s like a demon crawling out of hell.

Furthermore, just a year ago, under the joint resolution of the Queen and the Parliament, Britain formulated a plan to turn Dasong into a British colony.

The fleet sent to Tianzhu also served this plan, and this happened unexpectedly.

The two chatted for a while, the carriage passed a small bridge, and a white castle appeared in front of it.

This is Watterham Palace, where the Queen of Britain sleeps and works.

Stopping in front of the castle, the guards guarding Watham Palace stepped forward to open the car door and led the two to the conference hall.

After waiting for three minutes, Queen Ashley in a golden dress came in accompanied by a maid.

Nodding to Nohan and William, she sat down on the chair and frowned.

In the twenty years since her coronation as Queen of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland and India, nothing has shocked her so much.

So much so that she stayed up all night and called Prime Minister William and Foreign Minister Nohan to Wattham Palace early.

In response to the crisis in the East, Britain must respond immediately.

“What do the congressmen say?” Ashley said slowly, resting her head on her hands.

“They asked to send a fleet to Tianzhu, send additional troops, and declare war on King Yan in the north of Dasong.” William said.

Last night he summoned MPs urgently, and both his Whigs and their rival Tories were in favor of war.

Tianzhu, the jewel in the crown of Britain, is related to the interests of too many members of parliament.

What’s more, Britain’s colonies in the east include not only Tianzhu, but also the Pyu country to the east of Tianzhu, Malacca and nearby islands.

If they can’t suppress the Dasong Yan King and let him rampage in the East, their interests in the East will suffer heavy losses.

The information sent by Bolt mentioned that they had made an assessment of the King Yan.

The king of Yan acted very tough and would not allow Da Song’s interests to be damaged, and advocated the withdrawal of the western natives from the eastern colonies.

The actions of controlling Korea and attacking Japan also prove that it has a strong desire for expansion.

All these lead to conflicts between Britain and the King of Yan.

Unless Britain gives up its colonies in the East, the two sides can sit down and talk.

It is for this reason that the attitude of the MPs is unprecedentedly unanimous.

Ashley nodded. She thought about it all night, and she also had the same attitude.

According to Bolt, King Yan is currently engaged in a war to unify the Great Song.

This is the best time to contain or even eliminate King Yan.

If this opportunity is missed, they will inevitably have a direct conflict with King Yan’s army after King Yan unifies them.

Since it was impossible for them to abandon Tianzhu and other colonies in the east, conflict with King Yan was inevitable.

It is better to fully intervene in the Great Song Civil War earlier.

Furthermore, Britain is the emperor on which the sun never sets, the leader of the western world.

His own fleet was wiped out by the natives in the East. If they did not take revenge, the honor of the empire would be damaged.

“But the British mainland is too far away from the eastern land, and it is very unfavorable to fight in the distant eastern land. Moreover, the firearms of the king of Yan are comparable to those of Britain, and even surpassed our muskets because of a clever method. War will not be easy.” Ashley said slowly.

This is also a place that shocked her.

Thankfully though, this musket is not a disruptive technology, and with their steam industry, it is possible to imitate this musket.

“Britain is not the only country that has relevant interests in the Eastern Land. Is Your Majesty asking me to come to prepare for a diplomatic action?” Nohan said.

He had thought of this when the queen summoned him.

“Yes, Bolt did what he should do in Tianzhu, but we still need to have a real negotiation with other countries, especially Ross and Frank, to use the smallest cost to get the greatest benefit, which has always been our British According to the tradition, hunting by a lone wolf is always inferior to a pack of wolves.” A sharp light flashed in Ashley’s eyes.

In cooperation with other Western countries, they may have to cede some benefits.

But this is at most a division of spheres of influence, a matter of eating more and eating less.

And if they lost in the contest with King Yan, not only would they not be able to eat the benefits of Dongtu, but they would have to spit out what they had eaten.

Therefore, in order to kill the King of Yan, she would naturally unite with more Western countries.

After all, they, Britain, couldn’t even send the general fleet and troops to the East.

They have too many colonies in the world to maintain.

At the same time, she was also worried that the Western Turks would take the opportunity to stab Britain in the back, cooperation was cooperation, and it was hard to guarantee that Frank and Ross would not make small moves.

It is also necessary to leave some troops to defend the homeland.
