London.

On Monday, Murphy arrived at the Tulip Palace early to wait for Queen Vidomia, and today his face was a little pale, and even the maid of the Tulip Palace could see the worry in his eyes.

After waiting for a while, the door to the Queen's bedroom slowly opened, and Vidomia appeared in front of Murphy as radiant as ever.

But now Murphy was not in the mood for any appreciation, he quickly walked up to Vidomia and whispered a word.

Hearing this, Vidomia's face turned pale, and her fair face was completely bloodless.

"Your Majesty, the Conservatives are taking advantage of this defeat of the Combined Fleet to attack our foreign policy, and their cries are supported by many centrist MPs, and this time we are in trouble." Murphy said worriedly.

Now that the Liberals have only a slight advantage over the Conservatives in the House of Commons, this defeat is enough to turn the Conservatives around, and if so, the loss of the Liberals' right to a ruling queen will be limited by the Conservatives, which is the last thing Vidomia wants.

"It's unbelievable how the Combined Fleet lost so badly." Vidomia almost went berserk as she spoke, as she and Murphy walked out the door.

After getting into the carriage, she and Murphy soon arrived at the House, which by this time had filled the entire House of Representatives, and it was clear that the defeat would have a great impact.

Because they have never suffered such a crushing defeat in decades.

"Your Majesty, just three hours ago two battleships arrived in London that were almost disorganized, one thing is for sure that they belonged to the East India Company, and the poor soldiers on the ships told of the defeat they had suffered in the country of Dayu, and for the same reasons we had objected to this plan in the first place, and now we had lost most of our naval forces in Asia, and we had provoked a formidable enemy."

As soon as Vidomia sat down, she suddenly stood up from her Conservative seat, and a white-haired, thin-skinned, gray-vested MP was none other than the leader of the Conservative Party, Nick Brown. Timothy.

From the moment she entered, Vidomia's eyes were focused on the group of naval soldiers in the middle of the house, these naval soldiers were ragged and skinny, and you can imagine how much they had suffered when they returned to England from the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

"Count Nick, first of all, I feel very sad for what happened to these naval soldiers, but I don't think there was any mistake in the original decision, everything I did was also for the benefit of the British Empire, only by destroying the soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, we will have more time to realize the technology we get one by one, as you said, the Great Chongqing Country is a powerful enemy, so far he is only in Asia, and one day their tentacles will extend to North America, South America, Africa, and even Europe, then it will be too late for us to contain him." Vidomia stared at Nick with a determined gaze, unflinching.

"Shh......h

Vidomia's words fell, and there was a wave of boos in the Conservative seats, after the passage of the Bill of Rights, the Queen actually only ruled the United Kingdom, and the real power fell to the House of Commons.

It was only Vidomia's clever use of her influence to reach a cooperation with the Liberal Prime Minister that allowed the Queen's influence to be further expanded, as if she once again had the right to rule Britain.

In fact, in Nick's view, it is just the Liberals using the Queen's influence, and the Queen using the Liberals' power, in fact, they are not afraid of the Queen.

"Your Majesty, look at these poor soldiers, these two warships originally had more than a thousand soldiers, and after returning to England, there were only more than a hundred left, most of whom starved to death at sea, or died of illness, this is the price paid for fighting in the far east, and the most important thing is that your decision did not protect the interests of Britain, and then we may have to face the retaliation of the Great Chongqing State." Nick said calmly: "India, Australia, this is our important colony, and they are likely to lose it because of this. ”

Vidomia clutched her forehead with a headache, she had never suffered such a setback since she had taken the throne, and just as she was about to say something, a man stood up, none other than her uncle, the Duke of Patton.

He stopped Vidomia from arguing, and instead said, "Your Majesty, now we must improve relations with the Great Chongqing Kingdom to avoid losing more, otherwise the Liberal Party will lose the support of many nobles, who have a lot of interests in India, and you don't want to see the Liberal Party ousted, do you?" “

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's very unwise to continue provoking war, especially in such a distant place, and since the Combined Fleet has failed, we must change our tactics." Murphy chimed in.

Vidomia had been panicking since she got the news, and she was only justifying her mistake in the face of Nick's doubts.

Now that Paston and Murphy said this, she suddenly realized that if they continued to work against Nick, they would be more passive, and only by appeasing the nobles could they leave room for them to turn around, but now she had to make effective suggestions to show that she, the queen, could lead LinkedIn out of its predicament.

After calming down for a while, she stood up and said: "I feel sorry for the failure of the combined fleet, but this also allows us to see the true strength of the Great Chongqing State clearly, which avoids our next greater miscalculation, so, through this matter, we should adjust the relationship with the Great Chongqing State, and now we should send a mission to the Great Chongqing State to ease the relationship." “

After a pause, she continued: "At the same time, we must invest more manpower and financial resources to speed up the research of new technologies, so that we can defeat the army of Dayu in the next war, and we also want to support the enemies of Dayu, I propose to sell steam engine technology to Tsarist Russia, help Tsarist Russia popularize steam engine factories, and they will effectively contain the forces of Dayu." “

Vidomia's words fell, and the Conservative MPs did not deliberately boo, they were just dissatisfied with the queen's sophistry, in fact, in the case of the defeat of the United Kingdom, they also hoped that Vidomia could come up with effective countermeasures.

Seeing that her speech had achieved good results, Vidomia continued: "Ideas are sometimes more effective than weapons, and the Great Yu Kingdom is still an imperial state, and we are moving from imperial power to popular election, and it is often easier for an empire to collapse from within than to destroy it from the outside, and our Councillor Cao Kun knows this better than us. “

As she spoke, Vidomia looked at the two seats in the corner of the Liberal Party, where Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong were sitting.
