British Empire, London, 10 Downing Street.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

At this time, the British Empire, although the country is unmatched, compared to a few years ago, the life of the empire is not easy now!
The war between Russia and Turkey directly challenged the authority of the British Empire.

The so-called "British rule of the world" is actually peace under the rule of the British Empire. This so-called "peace" is essentially the hegemony of the British Empire. The British Empire formulates international rules and divides international spheres of influence according to its interests.

But what about now?
The hegemony of the British Empire has become precarious in the face of successive challenges from Ming Dynasty, France and Russia.

From Libya to Turkey, from Europe to South America.

Facing the challenge of the four great empires, the British Empire was no longer just a headache. For the first time since Napoleon, they felt a real threat. When the news came that the Russian Empire declared war on Turkey, London was shocked. People are asking - what next?
Russia has attacked Turkey, can they stop Russia?

Behind Russia is France, Ming Dynasty, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!Britain is not their opponent!

Britain needs its own allies!

".Now, the British Empire must form alliances and win allies in order to gain the upper hand in the future competition! And with a strong alliance, our British Empire can regain the initiative in the future!"

The so-called future initiative actually refers to the initiative to launch a war!

Before the "Quadruple Alliance", the initiative of the war was in the hands of the British. They could launch a war at any time as long as they wanted to. As long as any country dared to challenge the hegemony of the British Empire, the price would be extremely heavy.

For example, Russia in Crimea sacrificed a tsar as a price.

But what about now?
Their hegemony has become a thing of the past, which is nothing more than a threat to small countries. Facing the powerful strength of the "Quadruple Alliance", the British Empire is also very sad.

In East Africa, Britain was powerless to stop Ming's expansion, in North Africa they were unable to stop France, and in Turkey, they could only watch helplessly as Turkey was partitioned.

Since Napoleon, when has the British Empire been so sacrificed?

What's even more frightening is that the days of such sacrifices are just the beginning, and there will be a future in the future!
In the future, there will be no British Empire if there is no guarantee!

How could the "Quadruple Alliance" that pierced the tiger skin of the British Empire stop in Turkey?
Turkey is just the beginning, and then they will point their knives at the colonies of the British Empire around the world. For the future of the British Empire, Britain must win over its allies.

You can't fight alone!
Not to mention starting a war, even if you want to compete with Daming, France, and Russia, you can't compete with them. The Ming Empire proposed the "Ten Fleet", and they wanted to build ten battleships and ten battlecruisers. As for France, they proposed " 100 Million Ton Shipbuilding Project”, which plans to build 24 battleships as the main naval fleet. As for Russia, it has also proposed a similar plan with a smaller scale, but there are also 20 battleships, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a little more restrained— — They want to build 10 battleships.

The Royal Navy did some calculations. If they want to reach the sum of the second and third strongest navies, they need at least 44 battleships of more than 30 tons!But there are still Russia and Austria-Hungary!These two also have [-] battle fleets...

Of course, the Royal Navy hopes to build a fleet not inferior to them, but this is simply a dream, and there is no need to consider whether the parliament will pass it, just like Qian Daying can't afford it... To build 70 tons of combat ships, at least Cost tens of millions of pounds!The UK really can't afford this money!

Moreover, the British Empire will also expand its airship force, which also requires huge expenditures.

In a word, it is impossible for Britain to establish a sea force comparable to the naval power of the four countries.No matter how it is calculated, whether it is now or in the future, it is a result-the advantage lies in the enemy!
The United Kingdom must have its own alliance. Only by establishing an international alliance similar to the "Quadruple Alliance" can the United Kingdom be able to calmly face challenges in the future and be sure to defeat the four empires quickly!
"His Excellency the Prime Minister,"

Foreign Secretary Edward laughed,
"As far as the current situation is concerned, among the United States, Germany, and Italy, the contradictions between the Americans and Ming are difficult to reconcile! Since the "Los Angeles Incident", the entire United States has been full of hostility towards Ming, and in 1870, we After selling the British Columbia colony to Da Ming, it became Da Ming's Beihai Governor's District. From then on, no matter whether Da Ming really coveted the vast land in the western United States including Oregon, one thing is certain, the Americans believed that they were in Coveting the land of the United States! This threat is something that Americans can never ignore!" When mentioning that their predecessors sold the barren and vast colony to Ming Dynasty, Edward couldn't help admiring their vision. The British Empire relied on generation It was the politicians who had such foresight in generations that the British Empire could dominate the world with the power of one country.

"In addition, Ming has always firmly supported Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. The United States has always supported the Republicans in Mexico. In order to obtain loans and military assistance from Ming, Maximilian I granted Mexico's mineral development rights and railway construction. The rights are all mortgaged to Daming. As of last year, Daming’s investment in Mexico has exceeded 1.5 million Ming Yuan, and they have also discovered large oil fields in the local area. Currently, the world’s three largest oil fields are Russia’s Baku and Mexico’s oil fields. , are all invested and exploited by Daming Royal Petroleum Company!"

In the past few years, with the development of the automobile industry, even the most stupid people know the important role of oil in the future world, but Da Ming holds the accelerator of the world!
Prime Minister Benjamin let out a long sigh:
"How is it that luck is on the side of Britain's enemies?"

Facing the prime minister's sigh, Edward said:
"Prime Minister, Ming's extensive investment in Mexico has indeed achieved rich returns, but this means not only luck, but also disaster. The contradictions between the United States and Mexico are irreconcilable. From California to Texas, the United States is taken from Mexico. , and the failure of the U.S.-Mexico War is also regarded as a national humiliation by the Mexicans. For the Emperor Maximilian I, if he can regain those lost ground and defeat the Americans, he will surely be able to win the hearts of the people and obtain the Mexican state. The support of the people, so as to stabilize the throne. This also means that the threats facing the United States now are from both the North and the South!"

"Daming in the north, Mexico in the south."

Benjamin nodded, and then said.

"But it's still Daming in essence. Without Daming, Mexico is nothing!"

"It's true. The United States is fully aware of this. That's why they expanded their navy and army to deal with threats from Ming Dynasty and Mexico."

Looking at the prime minister, Edward said:

"At the same time, Ming's weapons and equipment are continuously entering Mexico, and Mexico's power is rapidly increasing! Prime Minister, do you think the United States will not need us at this time?"

When the voice fell, Edward shook his head and said again.

"Now, more than ever, they need us and the support of the British Empire!"
