Become a feudal king from today - #1118 - Chapter 1129 Langton
Department of Foreign Affairs.
When Dong An returned from the palace, he selected the officials to accompany him on his mission.
After three days of preparation, he took a steam locomotive and headed north. Under the protection of the Xuanwu Army, he arrived at the Heilong River. He met with the Russian officers stationed on the north bank of the Heilong River and informed them of their intentions.
It is different from the contempt for Dasong a few years ago.
Today’s Russian soldiers fear and hate Dasong.
They did not dare to despise the diplomatic action of the Dasong envoy going to Petersburg.
Because this may be related to their fate in the Far East. .
So they dispatched 300 soldiers and 300 Xuanwu Army soldiers to escort Dong An westward.
at the same time.
Longton, Britain.
The news that the Allied Navy and Army were annihilated in Tianzhu, with the arrival of a dilapidated battleship, caused huge waves in the political center of Britain.
When she learned the news, Queen Eisley was having afternoon tea with the wives of several MPs at Waterham Palace.
The bad news caused the queen to faint immediately, causing considerable confusion.
At the same time, Prime Minister Wilhelm was receiving the Foreign Minister from Poland for lunch.
When the official told him the news, the smile on his face froze.
Without even explaining to the Polish Foreign Minister, he left the room and went straight to Watham Palace, which made the Polish Foreign Minister who did not know the inside story very dissatisfied.
But William obviously doesn’t care about this now.
On the way to Waterham, he met Field Marshal the Duke of Welling and Field Marshal Earl Thompson.
There is no doubt that the two men’s expressions were as serious as William’s.
Along the way, the three of them didn’t even say a word.
Because this news shocked them so much, their hearts were trembling, their minds were in a mess, and they didn’t know what to say.
Both the land and sea armies were wiped out, and Tianzhu, the pearl in the queen’s crown, fell into the hands of Da Song.
For Britain, their hegemony may be shaken by this incident.
When the three of them arrived at Waterham Palace, Ashley had already woken up.
But after suffering such a big blow, her spirit was a little depressed, and she could only half-lying on the bed to receive these three core figures in Britain.
“How true is this news?” Ashley said weakly. She still refuses to believe this fact, hoping that the three of them will tell them that it is a rumor.
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid this news is true.” Welling and the two marshals looked at each other with heavy expressions.
Ashley closed her eyes in pain, “So, in the far east, a country more powerful than our Britain has risen?”
“I’m afraid that’s the case,” William said again.
“According to the information we have received so far, Dasong is building a brand new warship. According to the soldiers, the outer shell of this new warship is covered with iron armor. Our explosive bombs have no way to do it, and its power is more powerful than our steamships. Tough, if they hadn’t taken advantage of the night, they wouldn’t have been able to come back alive.” Thompson added more details at this time.
The fifty-six-year-old British Admiral has been frowning since he received the news.
If you listen carefully, you will find that he is deliberately suppressing his trembling voice.
In his life, he has never been as scared as he is today. This is a fear of facing unknown forces.
According to the soldiers, the destruction of the coalition’s 500 warships was mainly caused by Da Song’s twelve new warships.
This means that their proud navy is as weak as a baby in front of the Great Song Navy.
At this point, their maritime hegemony may come to an end.
“Your Majesty the Queen, we have to admit the reality. Dasong’s guns, artillery and warships surpass us in every aspect, and we are unable to confront them in the Far East.” Duke Welling sighed, “What we should be more worried about now is , will Dasong take the next step of retaliation, take away more of our colonies, or even…invade Britain.”
Ashley’s body trembled slightly, she suddenly opened her eyes and straightened up.
Duke Welling reminded her that now was not the time to feel sorry for herself.
She didn’t understand Dasong, nor did she understand the character of the Emperor Dasong.
But there is no doubt that as long as the great emperor is willing, he can cut off Britain’s overseas colonies bit by bit like cutting a cake.
And she will be helpless about this, as the coalition’s disastrous defeat in Tianzhu has proved this.
Neither Britain’s navy nor its army could stand against Dasung’s army.
“What follows will be the darkest days for the Western Earth world.” Ashley got off the bed, “Think about what we did in the Eastern Earth after we occupied Tianzhu? If one day Da Song established a colony near the Western Earth Stronghold, will they treat us like we treated the indigenous people?”
William and the three did not speak, this topic was too heavy.
After a long time, William said, “As long as we share the same hatred of the enemy, I believe the Dasong people can’t do it. From now on, we must increase the smear campaign against Dasong and let the people unite around us. If the Dasong people want to fall into the quagmire of war, , let them come, we Britons are not as easy to deal with as those natives.”
“But William, Britain is just an island. What if the Great Song blocks our coastline?” Thompson raised his biggest worry now.
His words caused another moment of silence in the room.
Looking out the window, Ashley pondered for a long time and suddenly said, “Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for us to confront Dasong militarily. We need time to catch up with the equipment, and at the same time learn more about the country of Dasong. Therefore, we need to try to improve our relationship with Dasong, even if we sacrifice some benefits for this.”
“But what if the other party refuses?” William asked.
“Then we can only prepare for the worst and unite the entire Western Territory to fight to the death against Dasong.” Ashley clenched her fist tightly.
After a pause, she continued, “But this is the worst plan. There is a glimmer of hope. We should also try our best to improve the relationship with Dasong. Don’t forget that the weapons of our Western Turks are not only battleships and artillery, but also our If we can use the weapon of thought to subvert Dasong and cause it to have civil strife, that would be the best for us, wouldn’t it?”
The three of them nodded slowly when they heard the words.
At this time, William thought of something and said, “I’m afraid those bastards from the Tory Party will not easily agree to let us improve the relationship with Dasong, and they will definitely accuse us of being weak.”
“This is indeed a problem, and this is what you will be busy with next. I believe you can shut them up.” Ashley frowned.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” William responded. He naturally wanted to get Ashley’s support by raising this matter.
