Chapter 1367: How to Bring Down France
Prince Albert sat behind a desk painted black in a black military uniform, and the night sky outside the window was also black. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But all of this together is not as black as his face! A telegram he had just received was in front of him, from Crown Prince Edward, who had stayed in Britain, and the content was a request from the British cabinet to declare war on Russia...... and the decision to divert 400,000 troops to other battlefields.
"My dear Albert, what's wrong with you?" Empress Victoria looked at her husband's iron-blue face and hesitated, "Shouldn't you fight against Russia?" ”
"Traitor!" Albert gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word.
Who is he talking about? Mathilde or the British Cabinet? Empress Victoria looked puzzled.
"Short-sighted traitor!" Albert scolded in an accentuated tone, "They are sabotaging the Anglo-American merger!" The war against Russia, the increase in the defense of India, and the increase in the Cape colony were all aimed at drawing the Empire's attention back to the Old World! These people have only votes in their hearts, and there are no long-term interests of the British Empire at all! ”
"They always do." Empress Victoria sighed, "It's not the first day again, if they had paid attention to the New World back then, where would we be in trouble today?" Albert, we might as well go back to England and I'll go to Parliament and persuade those MPs not to support a war against Russia. ”
Albert shook his head, "It's useless...... The parliamentarians were frightened by the results of the battle of the Suri River, a secret reading > novel, and they were willing to bully Russia rather than launch a new offensive in the Americas. ”
In fact, Albert himself was afraid of another big battle with Donghua. After a clean and clean battle of annihilation such as the Battle of the Missouri River (there has not been a final annihilation of the Kansas cluster, but no one doubts the final result). Everyone kind of thinks of Juan as Napoleon I. Albert didn't want Britain to send 800,000 troops to relieve the siege of Kansas City. Rather, they wanted to use these armies as a backing for a united America...... Although the current situation in North America is more favorable for a complete merger between Britain and the United States. But the British army in North America was always too small, only a few hundred thousand. And the Americans have armed more than 2.5 million troops! Even taking into account their losses in the Missouri-Kansas City area, there are still more than 1.5 million troops available, and the two countries are still mobilizing further and are estimated to soon regain their strength of 2.5 million. Relying on more than 500,000 British troops to integrate more than 2.5 million American troops is really too reluctant. If the U.S. military cannot be integrated into the British army, this Anglo-American merger will always be unreliable......
"It's not bad to defeat Russia first, and then concentrate on dealing with China......" The Empress looked up at her dejected husband.
Albert scoffed, "If only Russia had been so easy to defeat." Napoleon I would not have gone to St. Helena. ”
"At that time, the British Empire was supporting Russia." The Empress reminded.
"Now the Ming Empire will also support Russia," said Prince Albert, "Zhu Jishi no longer likes the Russians, and will not sit idly by and watch Russia perish." ”
"Of course, we can't occupy all of Russia, but we can bring Russia to collapse from within. Albert, have you forgotten the Narodnaya Volta? ”
Prince Albert's face darkened, "A bunch of terrorists! ”
"There is always something to be taken advantage of," the Empress of England shrugged. "Albert, it's better for you to stay in Toronto. As my agent, let me go back to London and deal with those timid parliamentarians. ”
"That's fine." Albert thought to himself that there was no way for Crown Prince Edward to deal with those old fox councillors. "Victoria, after you return to England, you must not easily let the main force of the British Navy leave Europe."
"Why? Shouldn't we let the Navy strike at China? ”
"Don't send out all the main forces of the navy until the attitude of France is really clear." Prince Albert mused, "After the Battle of the Missouri River, France is likely to move closer to China...... Today, the intelligence of the Imperial Army of America reported that Mathilde had probably returned to Mexico to meet with Zhu Jishi. They may well be discussing a conspiracy against the British Empire, and we have to guard against it! ”
"What should we do if France really supports China?"
"Just break it!" Prince Albert smiled and said lightly.
"But how are we going to bring down France?"
"Actually, we don't have to." Prince Albert grinned, "The German Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and Napoleon IV himself could bring down France...... As soon as Mathilde leaves the position of regent, and it is a matter of time, news from Paris, Napoleon IV is very dissatisfied with the fall of power! ”
"As long as Mathilde leaves?" Victoria smiled, "What is this woman's ability?" Except for giving birth to a son like Juan. ”
"She doesn't have any skills." Prince Albert said, "The courage is still very small, and he is still retreating step by step in the face of the advance of all sides, and he is compromised." But she turned France into a hedgehog shrunk into a ball, making it impossible for others to speak, and naturally there was no possibility of collapse. France, on the other hand, will not collapse, it will always be a threat to the British Empire, because France has the second or third largest fleet in the world, and it also has the second or third most powerful army in the world. As soon as the British Royal Navy left Europe and the Atlantic, France was the hegemon of Europe! And...... We must never forget that Jujuan was the son of Mathilde, the only son! ”
……
While having breakfast with Mathilde at the National Palace of Mexico, King Henry of the Kingdom of Mexico. Bonaparte hurried in and whispered a few words in the ear of Empress Mathilde. The empress's face suddenly darkened.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Jishi glanced at Henry. Bonaparte, a rather handsome young man, a bit like Napoleon III, but more like the Countess de Neve.
"Jason, that's bad news! Very bad news! The Empress of Mexico said in a calm voice in a mournful tone, "The Russians are going to be unlucky!" Britain and Sweden will join the war against Russia...... Britain will send 200,000 troops, and Sweden will probably send just as many troops. ”
"The British want to defeat Russia first, and then use the power of the whole of Europe to coerce France to join the war against China!" Henry. Bonaparte added.
"They won't succeed," Mathilde snorted, "and the Germans will not join forces with Britain again after the defeat of Russia, I am 100 percent sure of that." ”
Henry. Bonaparte nodded noncommittally, took out a telegram and handed it to Mathilde, and said in a very low voice in her ear: "Your Majesty, this is a telegram from the French Foreign Ministry and our embassy in the Black Empire. ”
Mathilde took the telegram and glanced at it, his face became even more ugly, and the content on it was about the Black Emperor wanting to hug Zhu Jishi's thigh and start a war with Britain.
"Henry, I see, you are busy with your national affairs." The Empress squeezed out a smile and put Henry. Bonaparte sent him away, and repulsed the maids in the house. Only then did he sigh and look at Zhu Jishi helplessly, "Jason, your hand is too long, right?" ”
Zhu Jishi was holding a piece of lemon cake that he had bitten in his hand, and when he heard Mathilde's words, he slowly put down the cake and considered his words, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with letting the Black Empire join the war, if they can get the gold of Dewasland, there will definitely be a share of France...... It can be divided into three parts, France, the Black Empire and China. ”
"No part of China!" Mathilde looked at Zhu Jishi seriously, "Africa is the territory of Europeans, and I need to use Africa's territory to envelop the powerful countries of Europe." If the British Empire falls, its legacy in Africa will be divided among Germany, the Holy Roman Empire, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, and perhaps Russia...... Only in this way will France be able to secure its position as the leader of Europe. Jason, I guess you need a European leader like France, right? ”
Zhu Jishi looked at Mathilde silently, and after a while, he nodded, "Okay, China doesn't want Dewasland's gold, so it's okay, right?" "This little face must always be given to Mathilde, anyway, she can't be the regent for a few years." But the Black Empire had to join the war. ”
Mathilde shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Jason, if you want the Black Emperor's army to be defeated by the British, then I won't interfere, it's a big deal to change someone to be the Black Emperor." But you must help me in the matter of Russia, and I must not let Russia collapse, otherwise Germany and the Holy Roman Empire will become very, very strong, and will threaten the hegemony of France on the continent and my influence in France!
