Become a feudal king from today - #1156 - Chapter 1166 Asking for help
Longton.
Qin Shan and Zhou Yi were calmly waiting for their equipment to be changed in Hawaii.
A diplomatic mission, led by Sullivan himself, arrived.
According to his war plan, mobilization within Sam’s country was only part of it.
Another very important part is to seek support from the entire Western World.
This part is even more important than the domestic general mobilization.
After all, Sam’s country was only a colony of Britain a few decades ago, and its population and steam industry strength were quite limited.
It is simply fantastic to rely on Sam’s country to resist on its own.
Accompanied by British diplomats, Sullivan arrived at Waterham Palace and met Queen Alice and British Prime Minister William who were waiting for him.
“Your Majesty the Queen.” Sullivan first saluted Ashley and then William.
He had mixed feelings.
For many years, the Sam Kingdom and Britain have been in hostile relations.
In the hearts of Sam people, Britain is the slave master who oppresses them.
In the eyes of the British, they were damned traitors.
If it weren’t for Da Song, he thought maybe they wouldn’t be reconciled even if it took a hundred years.
It is even less likely that he would come to Britain and seek help from the Queen of Britain.
It is impossible for Queen Alice to save the Kingdom of Sam.
“I already understand your purpose of coming.” Ashley said a little tiredly as she motioned for Sullivan and others to sit down.
During this time, the problems in Ross Country had made her a little anxious.
After Poland launched a provocation to the Russian state under the instruction of Britain, the entire Western world was no longer quiet.
Emperor Nicholas of Russia chose to deal with this matter forcefully.
In the border area between Poland and Russia, wars of all sizes have never stopped.
Originally, she thought that by giving priority to replicating Da Song’s breech-loading gun, she would have the advantage of leading the order in the Western Territory.
It is believed that providing this kind of musket to the Polish army will cause the Russian state to suffer serious blood loss and prevent it from having an impact on the current Western-Turkish order.
But she was wrong.
She underestimated the depth of Dasong’s cooperation with the Russian state.
The Great Song people seem to have provided relevant technologies to the Rus.
Following them, the Russian state also imitated this kind of musket and quickly deployed its army.
Therefore, the Polish army not only failed to take advantage of anything, but also lost a lot of land.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Britain had to push other Western countries to send troops to the war zone in the form of mercenaries.
Doing this will not only prevent the Russian state from expanding westward, but also avoid going to war against the Russian state in the name of the entire Western World, leaving room for maneuver.
Therefore, the real situation now is that most of their energy is diverted by the Russian state.
It has to be said that Emperor Dasong has pinched the vitality of the Western World.
Nowadays, coupled with the propaganda of newspapers in various countries.
The entire Western Turkish world has raised its voice against the Rus Kingdom.
Public opinion does not allow them to compromise with Russia, but they must continue to increase their efforts.
At the same time, even if they compromise, the Russian state may not agree.
Emperor Nicholas would not pass up the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence westward.
Everything left them hanging in the air, unable to get up or get down.
We can only watch the Western World being involved in the war with the Rus Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, I am afraid that the Western Kingdom will not be willing to send another expeditionary force to the Sam Kingdom to participate in the war with the Dasong people.
However, they cannot ignore Sam Country.
Sam’s country is a barrier, if this barrier is controlled by the Dasong people.
At the speed of the Great Song Navy, it would only take half a month to reach the British mainland.
At that point, their entire British shipping route might be cut off.
And this would be a disaster for Britain, which is mainly based on trade.
So, Ashley said to Sullivan, “Now the Western world is facing an unprecedented crisis, which requires us to deal with it together. We in Britain will not recognize the so-called Indian Restoration Movement supported by Dasung, and will work with you to defeat them. action.”
Before Sullivan arrived in Britain, he was still a little nervous, worried that he would be rejected.
Ashley’s words undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm.
He said, “Thank you, Your Majesty. In the final analysis, we are brothers connected by blood. Conflicts between brothers are ultimately problems within our own families, but when facing outsiders, we undoubtedly need to unite.”
Ashley nodded, she indeed wanted to help Sam Country.
But her first phase of help would be limited to providing muskets and artillery.
The war must be fought by the Sam people themselves.
She will not consider sending an expeditionary force until Sam’s country cannot hold on any longer.
It would be foolish to immediately send an army to fight against Dasong’s army, as it would be a loss of one’s own strength.
Similarly, Britain implemented this strategy in Poland.
Thinking of this, she spoke out her support plan without hesitation.
She knew Sullivan might be unhappy, but it was impossible to say no.
Just as she expected, Sullivan’s face froze slightly, and then he smiled, “On behalf of the people of Sam, I would like to express my gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen for her generosity, but that’s all. I’m afraid we won’t be able to resist the great people. Our population Too little.”
“More than seven million people are not a lot. As long as they are armed, they will be a powerful force.” Ashley looked serious, “Show the spirit you used to resist us in Britain, I think you can also defeat the Great Song people. “
This was a bit of a dig at Sullivan.
Seeing that Sullivan looked a little embarrassed, she added, “At most, we will transfer the technology for manufacturing breech-loading guns to you, so that you can produce this musket yourself.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Sullivan did not continue to ask for more. It was obvious that this was all he could get.
After exchanging some information, Sullivan and his party left.
In the carriage heading to the hotel, Sullivan looked solemn.
He told Samantha Secretary of State Milley, “Sure enough, just as I thought, the British obviously hope to fight to the last Samantha.”
“Now I just hope they can provide enough muskets, artillery and ammunition.” Milai shook his head, “The queen is right, our land needs us to pick up muskets to defend our land.”
Before they came, they anticipated the answer they might get.
This result disappointed them, but they were also mentally prepared.
Sullivan sighed softly.
He really didn’t expect that in such a short period of time after Tianzhu’s defeat, the world of Xitu would turn into a mess.
If there was no trouble from the Russian state, maybe he would be able to get more support.
In this regard, he had to admit that the Great Song Emperor was indeed powerful.
Just buying the Rus Kingdom left the entire Western World at a loss.
It’s just that he arrogantly thought that he could defeat Sam Country on its own soil, but he was wrong.
Although he put down his face this time, what he got from coming to Britain was limited.
But with the support of British muskets and artillery, they can organize more troops and win this war!
