Chapter 886 The British Empire Became a Cabbage (First update, please subscribe)
What should Britain do in the face of the challenge?
In the prime minister's official residence at No. 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Benjamin looked helpless looking at the newspaper on the table.

Why don't they play their cards according to common sense?
Then he turned his gaze to Edward and said.

"It's as if they had made an agreement. When Emperor Napoleon IV gave a speech, Ming also ordered to declare war on Turkey, and even dispatched their fleet!"

"Yes, we have made various assumptions before, but we never expected that France and Ming Dynasty would make such a quick choice in such a short period of time!"

When Edward said these words, he felt that the whole world had changed, and it became too strange.

How strange?
France and Daming went straight to stud immediately!

This is really too unbelievable!
How can they do this?

Stud directly, without leaving a trace of room, what is this for?Want to bet on the luck of the country?
damn it!
Even if it was Napoleon, before Stud, he would go to the negotiating table to talk, and then what about the British Empire?It also depends on the situation.

But it was good to meet Emperor Napoleon IV, he actually stud!

"In the whole world, in the past, only the emperor of Ming Dynasty would use the uncompromising stud to show their unyielding attitude, but now, even Napoleon IV has learned this trick. God, whose son is he? He never thought about what would happen to France if we followed Stud?"

Hearing the complaints from Foreign Minister Edward, Benjamin said helplessly.

"Edward, we all thought that kid was a young guy with no experience, but now it seems that we have overlooked one point-he is young, so he has all the characteristics of a young man, and there is almost no trace of trying to make him compromise. possible!"

When he said these words, Benjamin's mood became a little depressed. He is the prime minister of the British Empire. When he tried to use his strength to save the face of the British Empire and tried to force France to make concessions, France The choice was really beyond his expectation.

"So what shall we do now?"

"What to do? Go to war with them?"

Looking at the frowning prime minister, Edward asked,
"Prime Minister, do you really want the Russians to get Istanbul?"

Benjamin immediately shook his head and said:

"No, of course I don't want the Russians to get Istanbul. France can get Jerusalem. It's nothing. It's just the belief of Catholics. But Istanbul is not just a city. More importantly, Russia gets Constantine. After Dingbao, they will definitely regard it as their capital, you know, they have been talking about that place for centuries!"

"Yes, Prime Minister,"

Edward said deeply.

"After Russia gets Constantinople, they will never stop there. It will not be the end of Russian expansion on the Mediterranean coast, but just the beginning! Next, they will march to the whole of Asia Minor, and even attack Persia! Once Persia falls to the Russians...by then, the Russian Navy will enter the Indian Ocean! It will even threaten our India!"

"Indeed!"

Benjamin nodded and said,
"But the problem now is that if we don't allow Russia to get Istanbul, will they not enter the army? Actually, the crux of this problem is not Rakshasa at all, but in France and Ming! Now both the French and Ming have joined the opposition In the Turkish war, the Turkish Empire simply cannot resist the Russian army! They are even more powerless to resist the French army. We used to think that by dispatching the fleet and continuously strengthening the fleet, we could force the French to make concessions, but now It seems..."

This is simply a joke!
Now Benjamin has a deep understanding of what it means to lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot. His feet are excruciatingly painful now, and his face was also slapped.

"The Royal Navy is not ready to fight the Imperial Alliance Fleet! Britain is not ready to fight the "Alliance of Four Emperors". So now the British Empire cannot choose to make a big gamble."

Before that, they sent the Mediterranean Fleet to Turkey was nothing more than a "fake gamble", they just wanted to use the fleet to scare Russia away - in another world, in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, Britain used such a "fake gamble" The "big gamble" scared off the Russians, and Russia, which was approaching the city of Constantinople, had to retreat.

And now?

Britain's "fake gamble" not only did not scare off Russia, but made France and Ming follow stud!
"Now, if we insist on going our own way, we may not only make the falsehood come true, but may even scare off the allies and potential allies of the British Empire - as it stands, neither the Americans nor the Germans will be involved in this war , so the British Empire must change its strategy appropriately!"

Facing the Prime Minister's decision, Edward frowned and asked:

"In other words, we can only retreat in Turkey and let Russia occupy Turkey? In that case, the whole world will see us! The threats we face in the future may be unprecedented!"

Nodding, Benjamin said.

"Yes, one thing for sure is that now, the empire has reached the most dangerous moment! It is even more dangerous than the Napoleonic era!... So, at this time, we need to win over our allies and let the Americans and Germans And the Italians, the Dutch, the Belgians, the Swedes, put them all on our side! This is our only chance of winning the war, and as for now..."

What does the UK need to do now?
Of course it's not the decisive battle between Stud and the "Alliance of Four Emperors"!

Just as Edward was leaving the prime minister's office, Benjamin's secretary entered the room and reported to him.

"Prime Minister, we have received news that Rothschild Bank has bought 500 million pounds of French bonds in the market!"

"what!"

The secretary's report made Benjamin frowned, and said a little excitedly.

"What's that guy Lionel thinking? He doesn't know France now..."

Suddenly, Benjamin stopped talking. He opened his eyes wide as if he had suddenly realized it. After a long time, he said in an exclamation tone.

"Damn it, that guy is more cunning than all the Napoleon guys!"

"prime minister?"

Faced with the secretary's puzzlement, Benjamin did not continue talking. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and there was even some expectation...

Does that guy really want to do that?
