"Look at the anger of the citizens. This defeat really brings shame to Britain. Over the years, the navy has become more and more disgraceful.

A black ornate carriage happened to pass in front of the Langton citizens who were reading newspapers.

The citizens' cries attracted the attention of the two people in the car.

One of them was covered in fat and had a red face. He was the British Foreign Secretary Nohan. There was also a man younger than Nohan named William George.

He is the current British Prime Minister and Queen Eisley's personal secretary.

Hearing Nohan's complaint, William looked out the window, "The navy is indeed a bit out of shape. Perhaps it has not been able to threaten their enemies for too long. This incident is a good warning to them."

He took off his glasses, wiped them, and looked at Waterham Palace as if shrouded in fog.

Since Longton was the most prosperous city in Britain, the steam industry was the most prosperous.

The smoke from the burning of huge amounts of coal clings to the city like a ghost.

Citizens are both disgusted and proud of the smoke.

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

"But the point is obviously not this. A barbaric and ignorant Eastern country can build a steamship in a short period of time. This is what is important." 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 being told that a man had given birth to a child.

Until he repeatedly confirmed that the information was correct, he sat in his black leather coat in his office and smoked three full cigarettes before calming down.

There is no doubt that this is the worst intelligence that the Prime Minister has encountered since taking office.

It was even so bad that Sam became independent from Britain.

Because the independent Sam Kingdom is just like a rebellious son, but they are still of Angsa blood.

But the rising King of Yan from the Eastern Land was a foreign race that was 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.

Moreover, just a year ago, by the joint resolution of the Queen and Parliament, Britain formulated a plan to turn Great Song into a British colony.

The fleet sent to Tianzhu was also for this plan. Unexpectedly, something like this happened.

The two chatted for a while, and then the carriage crossed a small bridge, and a white castle appeared in front of them.

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

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

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

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

As the Queen of the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland and Tianzhu, in the twenty years since her coronation, nothing has ever shocked her so much.

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

Britain must respond immediately to the crisis in the East.

"What did the congressmen say?" Ashley said slowly, supporting her head with her hands.

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

Last night, he urgently summoned MPs. Both his Whig party and their rival Tories advocated war.

Tianzhu, the jewel in the British crown, concerns the interests of too many MPs.

What's more, Britain's colonies in the east include not only Tianzhu, but also Piao State to the east of Tianzhu, as well as Malacca and nearby islands.

If they cannot suppress the Great Song Yan King and allow him to run rampant in the East, their interests in the East will suffer heavy losses.

The intelligence sent by Bolt mentioned that they had evaluated the King of Yan.

This King of Yan was very tough in his behavior and would not allow Dasong's interests to be harmed. He also advocated that the Western Turks withdraw from the Eastern Colony.

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

As a result, there will inevitably be 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 MPs is unprecedentedly unanimous.

Ashley nodded. She had been thinking about this all night and had the same attitude.

According to Bolt, King Yan is currently engaged in a war to unify Dasong.

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

If they miss this opportunity, 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 would be better to fully intervene in the Dasong Civil War earlier.

Furthermore, they, Britain, are the emperors on whom the sun never sets, the leaders of the Western World.

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

"But the mainland of Britain is too far away from the East. It is very disadvantageous to fight in the distant East. Moreover, the firearms of King Yan are at the same level as those of Britain. He even used a trick to surpass our muskets. This battle War will not be easy," Ashley said slowly.

This was also a place that shocked her.

Fortunately, this kind of musket is not a disruptive technology. With their steam industry, they can imitate this kind of musket.

"There are more countries with relevant interests in the East than just Britain. Your Majesty asked me to come here. Are you preparing to launch a diplomatic action?" Nohan said.

He 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. It has always been our British tradition to get the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. A lone wolf is never as good as a pack of wolves." A sharp light flashed in Esley's eyes.

To cooperate with other Western countries, they may have to give up some interests.

But this is at most the division of spheres of influence, a question of how much to eat.

And if they lose the contest with King Yan, not only will they not be able to eat the interests of the East, but they will also have to spit out what they have eaten.

So, in order to strangle the King Yan, she naturally has to unite more Western countries.

After all, they, Britain, can't even send ordinary fleets 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 countries would take the opportunity to stab Britain in the back. Cooperation was cooperation, but there was no guarantee that Frank and Russia would not make small moves. It was also necessary to leave some troops to defend the homeland.
