London.
On Monday, Murphy came to the Tulip Palace early to wait for Queen Vidomija. It was a little different from the past. Today, his face was a little pale, even the maid of the Tulip Palace could see the deep concern in his eyes.
After waiting for a while, the door of the queen's palace slowly opened, and Vidomija appeared in front of Murphy with the same brilliance as before.
But now Murphy has no feeling of appreciation, he quickly walked to Vidomija and said a word in a low voice.
Upon hearing this sentence, Vidomija's face turned pale, and her white face was completely bloodless.
"Your Majesty, the Conservatives are attacking our foreign policy through the failure of the combined fleet. Their voices have been supported by many centrist members. This time we are in trouble." Murphy said with great worry.
Now the Liberal Party has only a slight advantage over the Conservative Party in the House of Commons. This defeat is enough to bring the Conservative Party back. If so, the rights of the Queen who lost the Liberal Party will be restricted by the Conservative Party. This is the last thing Vidomija wants to see.
"It's unbelievable how the United Fleet lost so badly." Vidomija was almost mad, and while talking, he walked out the door with Murphy.
got on the carriage, she and Murphy soon came to the House. By this time, the congressmen had already filled the whole House. Obviously, this failure had a great impact.
Because they have never suffered such a terrible failure in decades.
"His Majesty the Queen, just three hours ago, two warships that had almost fallen apart arrived in London. What is certain is that these two warships belonged to the East India Company. The poor soldiers on the warships told about their suffering in Great Chongqing. For the same reason we opposed the plan, now we have lost most of our naval power in Asia, and at the same time we have provoked a powerful enemy."
Vedomia just sat down and suddenly stood up from a seat in the Conservative Party. A congressman with all white hair, a thin body and a gray vest, was the leader of the Conservative Party, Nick Timothy.
Vidomija has focused on a group of navy soldiers in the middle of the House when they came in. These navy soldiers have ragged clothes and skinny builds. You can imagine how hard they have suffered when they return to Britain from the country of Chongqing.
"Earl Nick, first of all I feel very sad for what happened to these navy soldiers, but I don't think there was any mistake in the original decision. Everything I did was for the benefit of the British Empire. Only the soldiers who destroyed the Great Yu Kingdom. We There will be more time to realize the technologies obtained one by one. As you said, Dayu is a powerful enemy. So far he is only in Asia. One day their tentacles will reach North America, South America, and Africa. Even in Europe, it would be too late for us to control him." Vidomija looked at Nick firmly without giving in.
"Shhh..."
Vidomija’s voice fell, and there was a booing sound from the Conservative Party seat. After the passage of the "Bill of Rights", the Queen actually only ruled the United Kingdom, and the real power fell in the House of Commons.
It's just that Vidomija cleverly used her influence to cooperate with the Liberal Prime Minister, which allowed the Queen's influence to expand further, as if she once again had the right to rule Britain.
In fact, it seems to Nick that this is just the Liberal Party's use of the Queen's influence, and the Queen's use of the Liberal Party's rights, in fact they are not afraid of the Queen.
"His Majesty the Queen, look at these poor soldiers. The two warships originally had more than a thousand soldiers. After returning to England, there were only more than 100 people left. Most of them starved to death at sea or suffered from illness. To die in the middle, 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. What we may have to face next is the retaliation of Great Yu." Nick said calmly: " India, Australia, these are our important colonies, and they are likely to be lost because of this."
Vedomia covered her forehead with a headache. She had never encountered such a setback since she took the throne. When she was about to say something, she stood up alone, it was her uncle, Duke Paston.
He prevented Vidomija from arguing and said: "Your Majesty, now we must improve relations with the country to avoid losing more, otherwise the Liberal Party will lose the support of many nobles who have a lot of interests in India. , You don’t want to see the Liberal Party being ousted, do you?"
"Yes, your Majesty, it is very unwise to continue to provoke war, especially in such a remote place. Since the joint fleet has failed, we must change our strategy." Murphy echoed.
Vidomija has been panicking since she got the news. Faced with Nick's questioning, she just justified her mistake.
Now that Paston and Murphy say this, she suddenly realized that if they continue to confront Nick, they will be more passive. Only by appeasing the nobles can they leave room for change, but now she must make effective suggestions to show her. This queen can lead Britain out of its predicament.
After calming down, she stood up and said: "I feel very sorry for the failure of the combined fleet~EbookFREE.me~ but this also allows us to see the true strength of Dayu, which prevents us from happening next. Even greater misjudgment. Therefore, through this incident, we should adjust our relations with Great Chongqing, and now we should send a mission to Great Chongqing to ease relations."
After a pause, she continued: "At the same time, we have to invest more manpower and financial resources to accelerate the research of new technologies, so that we can defeat the army of Great Chongqing in the next war, and we should also support the enemies of Great Chongqing. I suggest Selling steam engine technology to Tsarist Russia to help Tsarist Russia popularize steam engine factories, they will effectively contain the forces of Great Yu.
Vedomia's words fell. The Conservative Party members no longer intentionally booed. They were just dissatisfied with the Queen's sophistry. In fact, in the case of the British defeat, they also hope that Vidomia can come up with effective measures.
Seeing the good results of her speech, Vidomija continued: "Thoughts are sometimes more effective than weapons. Great Yu is still a state of imperial power, and we are moving from imperial power to popular elections, which often collapses an empire from within. It’s easier than destroying it from the outside. Our Councillor Tso Kun knows this better than us.
Vedomia looked at the two seats in the corner of the Liberal Party while speaking. Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong and his son were sitting on them. )!!
