"Your Highness is right, and that's exactly what I'm trying to say, as a huge empire between Asia and Europe, we must ease relations with the Ottoman Empire in order to stop the westward expansion of the Chinese Empire."

Murphy cast an admiring look at Victoria, a young queen who was politically astute.

Vidomia nodded, she had been thinking about how to deal with the rise of the Chinese Empire, and now she had several mature ideas.

"It was a long voyage from Asia to Europe, and it took us a hundred years to build supply ports along the coast, and until we had them, it would be difficult for their fleets to fight us in Europe, and if we suffered defeat in India, the next thing would be to think about how not to leave the Chinese Empire with anything to use." Vidomia's voice was cold.

Murphy approached Vidomia, and he said, "Are we going to destroy the port?" ”

"That's right, we can't leave anything useful to the Chinese Empire if we can't hold the ports, and if we want to develop and equip the Chinese Empire with the same equipment, we need time, and there is no doubt that this method will make the Chinese Empire spend ten years, or even decades, to rebuild the coastal ports."

Murphy wrote down Vidomia's decision, saying: "The most important thing now is the union of Europe, and now Prussia and the Chinese Empire are too close, which will bring instability to Europe." ”

Vidomia's eyes flickered, he understood what Murphy meant, in fact, because the Chinese Empire had destroyed Britain's interests in the world, the British aristocracy was now terrified, as long as they could prevent the rise of the Chinese Empire, they were willing to pay any price.

This includes her marriage, which, in the light of the current situation, seems to be going to have a Prussian husband in the future.

"Now I intend to agree to this, but this is enough to make Prussia turn its back on the Chinese Empire, I think that the other German Confederations should be forced to merge into Prussia, and only if Prussia's wishes are fulfilled, they will finally turn to us, after all, instead of unifying the German Confederation through war, they will also have to risk war with us, they will definitely choose to easily get what they want." Vidomia said.

Murphy looked delighted, and in his opinion Vidomia looked more and more like a mature statesman, he said: "I will arrange this, I believe that as long as the European countries can be united, they will be able to stop the Chinese Empire, because we have common interests in our overseas colonies." “

Nodding slightly, Vidomia continued: "In addition, from now on, we must dig talents from the Chinese Empire at all costs, and at the same time, you tell Cao Kun to let his people do it boldly, and whether the plan succeeds or not, we will ensure that they will enjoy a noble status and a prosperous life even if they fail to escape to England." ”

"I hope this Cao Kun won't let us down." Murphy sighed.

After the defeat of the Combined Fleet, the British had now switched from offensive to defensive, and now they only wanted to delay the time that the Chinese Empire had won for the British scientific and technological development.

Because in the past few years, the development of British science and technology has advanced by leaps and bounds after acquiring a lot of basic scientific and technological knowledge.

The sensation caused by the periodic table was later verified by British chemists, which led to a rapid increase in the level of chemistry in Britain.

And they also got an almost perfect step in steelmaking, and with this step, they began to move away from inefficient steelmaking methods, and the quality of steel in Britain made great progress.

In addition, the results achieved in physics are equally satisfactory, and the Great Chongqing Kingdom now has, and they are all developing in this direction.

It's just that they are disappointed that the two scientists who got it from the Chinese Empire still have a limited grasp of things, and they know very little about the core technology of certain scientific and technological products.

The consequence of this is that they have to take a lot of detours in order to verify a certain technology, and because of this, they cannot catch up with the Chinese empire at the same level.

In the past two years, more and more things have appeared in the Chinese Empire, and they have become more and more powerless.

Because of this, the House decided to obtain the core technical personnel of the Chinese Empire at all costs, but the Chinese Empire seems to have been on guard for a long time, and the core technical personnel are often extremely closely protected, and it is difficult for Cao Kun's people to succeed.

……

Calcutta.

Cao Kun looked at the trenches that stretched for dozens of miles, crisscrossing like spider webs, and now the terror weapons of the Chinese Empire were no longer a secret, and the array operations in Europe were completely subverted by these weapons.

After repeated defeats and heavy casualties, Europe's military generals began to study ways to deal with this weapon.

This kind of criss-crossing trenches, with deep caves in the trenches, appeared.

"Why are there holes in these trenches?" Cao Kun was puzzled.

"This is to prevent bombing, it is said that the ironclad ships of the Chinese Empire are very powerful, and we don't want to be blown to pieces." Buterin's face was full of worry, and the bad news came one after another.

News of the ironclad fleet had reached Calcutta from the Dutch, and in order to prevent the bombardment of Manila, he had his soldiers dig holes in deep trenches to avoid shells.

"I see, Mr. Buterin deserves to be a young and outstanding British general." Cao Kun praised.

He had left England half a year earlier, and along the route he had made his way to India, where he had gathered a large number of people who hated the empire.

Many of these people were people who had fled overseas from the empire when Xiao Ming slaughtered the wealthy clan, and now these people were all gathered together by him because of the same hatred.

In order to achieve his goal, he promised to let these people obtain British citizenship in the future, after all, after fleeing overseas, these children of the former wealthy lived a miserable life and desperately wanted a rich life.

This promise made them feel intrigued.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Buterin's mouth, in fact, he looked down on this person who betrayed his country, but now Britain really needs him, at least this group of people can use their skin color to blend in with the Chinese Empire and steal benefits for them.

"Now I have gradually come to accept the fact that for Britain now, an excellent scientist is much more useful than ten excellent generals, so you want to be more important to Britain than me, and I hope that Mr. Cao Kun can achieve satisfactory results as soon as possible."

Cao Kun was very impressed by Buterin's tall hat, and he said, "It's all in my arrangement. ”
