The 1175th is difficult to ride a tiger
In the face of Guo Ye's tough posture of weapons, the British and French ministers had to lower their heads and disagree? At the very least, now Britain and France will never dare to fight the Chinese Empire in the Far East before they are fully prepared, especially in France now, a rapidly rising Prussia is enough to give them a headache, and if they provoke the Chinese Empire, they simply do not have enough strength to suppress the two powers in Europe and East Asia at the same time!
As for the British Empire, perhaps the British Empire has enough strength to suppress the Chinese Empire, but that is also under the condition of full preparation, but for the sake of a corner of the Far East with a population of less than 100,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 300,000, the British Empire will be involved in the risk of losing both sides with the Chinese Empire or even the British Empire slipping from its peak, the benefits and risks are too disproportionate, at least without 200% certainty, the British Empire will not take this risk.

What's the matter, just be bitten by a mad dog, no way, this Guo Ye is sealed, it's a mad dog, whether it's a hungry wolf or a tiger, just bite it when you go up......
Fettley smiled bitterly and thought to himself, this matter needs to be reported to Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister, and asked them to decide, but he does not have the authority to decide such a thing.
Gro, now Gro, even the idea of reporting to Napoleon III is gone, a single Prussia has already pinned down most of the French Empire's sea and land armies, unable to move at all, there is not enough force to deter, want to occupy the northeast of the river, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, provoking the Chinese Empire, their Fifth Army is rushing to the south, I am afraid that the French Empire's colonies in Southeast Asia will not be able to preserve, and the gains outweigh the losses......
Buckingham Palace, London.
Queen Victoria's face sank like water, and the British Empire was busy for a long time, and she couldn't get the last bit of benefit, so she let out the southeast of the river? It's really unwilling, but send troops to garrison? There is already a legion on the other side, how much force does the British Empire have to send to defend it? At least the strength of a legion! The naval strength of the Chinese Empire may be average, but the strength of the army is only stronger than that of Britain and France.
"Damn Guo Ye! We can't just leave it at that! ā
Granville on the side smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you don't forget it like this, what else can we do?" Now that the Chinese Empire is in full swing in eastern Asia, it has completely become the hegemon of that place, even if the British Empire is strong, it is absolutely impossible to go head-to-head with the Chinese Empire in the Far East, and without more than 300,000 troops, we will not be able to occupy the advantage at all......"
300,000 troops......
Although Victoria didn't have much research on military affairs, she also knew that with the current British Empire, mobilizing 300,000 troops to go to the Chinese Empire in one go, it was playing with fire and self-immolation! The huge logistical pressure alone can say that the British Empire is overwhelmed, and in the event of an unexpected defeat, the British Empire will be finished......
"Granville, what if we could say that France would send troops? Britain and France jointly sent troops! ā
Victoria asked through gritted teeth.
Granville smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't be joking, and don't say that France dares to take risks, even if they dare to take risks, they can now draw troops?" Now that Prussia has hundreds of thousands of troops on the Franco-Prussian border and is in direct confrontation with France, and now Napoleon III is already in a hurry, where is the energy to take care of the affairs of the Far East? It's simply impossible, they can't come up with even a single division! ā
Victoria's face turned red, yes, 500,000 Prussian troops are eyeing the Franco-Prussian border, and the current French Empire is eager to recall all the armies in the world to fight at home, where do you dare to use troops abroad?
"And what about Tsarist Russia? Let's join forces with Tsarist Russia! This time it really hurts the dignity of our British Empire, this land was ceded to us by the Qing government, and the Chinese Empire has no right to stop it! Now that Tsarist Russia has dispatched 200,000 troops in the Far East, we only need to transfer 100,000 troops to form a huge advantage over the Chinese Empire! I think Alexander II of the Russian Empire would have been happy to divide the entire Northeast with us on an equal footing with the Mongolian Plateau! ā
Queen Victoria showed an imperial ruthlessness at this time, and this time it was Guo Ye's words that really angered her.
Admiral Dundas on the side shook his head and replied: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, if it is 200,000 French Army, we may be able to give it a try, after all, the elite main force of the Chinese Imperial People's Army is only more than 200,000, and it is impossible to concentrate all of them in that corner of the three eastern provinces." However, the 200,000 Tsarist Russian army, I have to say, their combat strength is too different from the 200,000 French army, I am sure that even if the Chinese Empire only dispatches two legions, more than 100,000 people, they can be equal to Tsarist Russia, if three legions are dispatched, Tsarist Russia will be defeated! Even if we send 100,000 troops to participate in the war, we are not sure that we will win the battle, after all, the Chinese Empire has endless military potential in the north, and the population and industry are enough to support it! ā
Queen Victoria's face darkened, 200,000 Tsarist Russian troops and 100,000 British troops had no way to win?
"How is that possible? I don't believe that even the 300,000 army can't suppress the 200,000 troops of the Chinese People's Army! ā
Queen Victoria exclaimed.
Admiral Dundas smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, nothing is impossible!" You must know that in the last battle, all the Lu troops under Guo Ye were only sixty or seventy thousand people together, and even so, they defeated our more than 100,000 troops in the Gyeonggi area, how can you guarantee that our 300,000 troops will not be defeated by Guo Ye's more than 200,000 troops this time? Although the Japanese army's combat strength is extremely weak, the strength of the Tsarist Russian army is not as strong as the French army, and more than 100,000 troops are dispatched to participate in a war with no chance of victory, why bother? Even if we win, what if? Isn't the biggest benefit to be snatched away by Tsarist Russia? ā
Victoria finally ran out of words, it's not that the British Empire can't beat the Chinese Empire, but a war is fought, the gains outweigh the losses, and if you lose both sides in the end, it will only cheapen the Franco-Prussian and the United States in the west, and the United Kingdom, which has suffered serious losses, will definitely not be able to suppress the rising United States and the old France!
