"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Oriental people have great ambitions and a very strong desire to expand abroad. At the same time, after defeating the Qing Empire a few years ago, they received large war reparations and other benefits, which further stimulated the ambitions of the Orientals. The Oriental people are abhorrent to become a world-class power. We can use the Oriental people to deal with the Russian Empire and stop its expansion in the Far East. In this way, we only need to pay a very small price to stop the Russian Empire, and even hit them hard! Lord Admiralty Sir Fredry Richards continued.

"Can Orientals do this? No matter how weak the Russian Empire is, it is one of the world's great powers after all! Robert Cecil was undoubtedly skeptical that the Oriental people could take on the task of blocking the Russian Empire.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the strength of the Oriental people is still very good. Although the Russian Empire was very powerful, they were too far away from the Far East after all. In the Far East, the Oriental people are already considered a powerhouse. Sir Frederick Richards continued.

"By the way, did the Russian Empire already realize the threat posed to them by the Orientals? According to the information we have obtained, the Russian Empire is engaged in large-scale transportation construction, including accelerating the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Robert Cecil suddenly thought of this.

"It's entirely possible. But, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have sent the Orientals to war with the Russian Empire. It doesn't matter which side the winner is. But as soon as the war began. The Russian Empire would have paid a considerable price. In this way, it will inevitably delay the development of the Russian Empire. It is also very advantageous for us. Sir Frederick Richards said.

Robert Cecil nodded repeatedly.

The consumption of national strength by war is undoubtedly very large.

As the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold.

Once a war broke out between the Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire in the Far East, it would inevitably have a huge impact on the development of the Russian Empire.

If the Russian Empire had won the war, it would have caused great losses. Not to mention that if the Russian Empire loses, the price paid by the Russian Empire will be even greater. Not only will there be heavy losses, but it will also lose face.

And this is undoubtedly what the Sun Never Sets Empire is willing to see.

"Gentlemen, it seems that we have to increase our support for the Eastern Empire. Let the Eastern Empire further speed up preparations for war. In the future, an even bigger war broke out with the Russian Empire in the Far East. If necessary, we can provide more loans to the Eastern Empire to help them build more warships, so that the Eastern Empire can mobilize more troops for future wars! Robert Cecil said.

This point, the high-level officials of the Sun Never Set Empire naturally agreed.

It is undoubtedly best to be able to hide behind and spend a little money to let other countries fight and die for the sake of the empire that never sets.

"Relying on the Eastern Empire alone, it may be very difficult to defeat the Tsarist Russian Empire. Moreover, it would take several years for the Oriental people to be ready for war. Therefore, we can completely provoke other enemies of the Russian Empire. For example, the Ottoman Empire. From more than two hundred years ago to the present, ten wars have broken out between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. The Ottoman Empire rarely won. It can be said that the reason why the Ottoman Empire has weakened to this point is largely because of the Russian Empire.

This also made the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire already have an inextricable grudge. If the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire could fight, it would be the best. Whether or not the Ottoman Empire can win in the end, at least it can cause some trouble for the Russian Empire! "

The Minister of War, Marquis of Lansdoorn, also proposed.

Robert Cecil nodded, although he also did not think that the Ottoman Empire could pose much of a threat to the Russian Empire. But as long as the war between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire was provoked. Then, this is undoubtedly a victory for the Sun Never Sets Empire.

"In addition to the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire were also at loggerheads for expansion into the Balkans. If Austria-Hungary could join in. Even, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire joined forces against the Russian Empire. Then, the Russian Empire was busy. If they don't get it right, they will really suffer a big defeat. The Marquis of Lansdoorn continued.

"Very well, gentlemen, this is undoubtedly a good idea. Let these countries go to war with the Russian Empire one after another. In this case, the Russian Empire would be overwhelmed. Naturally, they will not have a chance to become strong again! "Prime Minister Robert Cecil took these recommendations.

"Then we have to find a way to involve the Russian Empire in the war with the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary." Robert Cecil said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can look for opportunities in the Balkans. The relationship between the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria was more complicated. Although, Bulgarians are also Slavs. However, they did not want to be controlled by the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire, on the other hand, hoped to intervene in the Balkans through its control of the Bulgarian kingdom. If we can figure out how to solve this problem, we may get good results. The Marquis of Lansdoorn suggested.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil thought a little and agreed to the plan.
