Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1115

[Chapter 1115 Langton]
Foreign Affairs Department.
When Dong An returned from the palace, he selected officials to accompany him on the mission.
After three days of preparation, he took a steam locomotive to the north, and under the protection of the Xuanwu Army, he arrived at the Black Dragon River. He met with the Ross State military officer stationed on the north bank of the Black Dragon River and informed him of his intentions.
It is different from the contempt for Da Song a few years ago.
Today’s Rus soldiers fear and hate Da Song.
They did not dare to underestimate the diplomatic action of envoys to Petersburg.
Because it may be related to their fate in the Far East.
So they dispatched 300 soldiers and 300 Xuanwu soldiers to escort Dong An to the west.
at the same time.
Britannia, Longton.
The news of the annihilation of the coalition navy and army in Tianzhu, along with the arrival of a broken warship, caused huge waves in the political center of Britain.
When she heard the news, Queen Ashley was having afternoon tea with the wives of several MPs at Watterham Palace.
The bad news caused the queen to faint immediately, causing quite a bit of confusion.
At the same time, Prime Minister William was receiving the Polish foreign minister 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 headed straight for Wattham Palace, much to the dissatisfaction of the Polish Foreign Minister who did not know the inside story.
But William obviously doesn’t care about these now.
On the way to Waterham, he again met Field Marshal the Duke of Welling and Admiral Lord Thompson.
There is no doubt that the faces of the two are as dignified as William.
Along the way, the three of them didn’t even say a word.
Because, the news shocked them too much, their hearts trembled, their minds were in a mess, and they didn’t know what to say.
The land and sea armies were wiped out, and Tianzhu, the jewel 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, she was a little depressed, and could only half-ly lie on the bed to meet the three core figures in Britain.
“How is the truth of this news?” Ashley said weakly, she still refused to believe this fact, and hoped that the three would tell them that it was a rumor.
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid this news is true.” Welling and the two marshals looked at each other with serious expressions.
Ashley closed her eyes in pain, “So, in the far east, a country stronger than Britain has risen?”
“I’m afraid so.” William said again.
“According to the information we have so far, Dasong is building a brand new warship. According to the soldiers, this new type of warship is covered with iron armor. Our explosive bombs can’t do anything to it, and its power is stronger than our steamship. Be strong, if they don’t use the night, they will never come back alive.” Thompson added more details at this time.
The fifty-six-year-old British admiral has been frowning since he got the news.
If you listen carefully, you will find that he is deliberately suppressing his trembling voice.
In his life, he has never been so afraid like today. This is a kind of fear of facing unknown forces.
According to what the soldiers said, the destruction of the 500 warships of the coalition forces was mainly caused by Da Song’s twelve new warships.
This means that the navy they are proud of is as weak as a baby in front of the Dasong Navy.
In this regard, their maritime hegemony may come to an end.
“Your Majesty, we have to admit the fact that Dasong’s guns, artillery, and warships surpass us in every aspect, and we are powerless to fight against them in the Far East.” Duke Welling sighed, “Now we should worry more about , Will Da Song take the next step to retaliate, take away more of our colonies, and even…invade Britain.”
Ashley’s body trembled slightly, she suddenly opened her eyes and straightened up.
Duke Welling reminded her that now is not the time to feel sorry for herself.
She didn’t understand Dasong, nor did she understand the character of the Dasong emperor.
But there is no doubt that as long as the Great Song Emperor is willing, he can cut off Britain’s overseas colonies bit by bit like cutting a cake.
And she will have nothing to do about it, the disastrous defeat of the coalition forces in Tianzhu has proved this point.
Neither the British navy nor the army could stand against Da Song’s army.
“It will be the darkest day for the western land.” Ashley got off the bed, “Think about what we did in the eastern land after we occupied Tianzhu? If one day Da Song establishes a colony near the western land Stronghold, will they treat us like we treated the natives?” The
three of William did not speak, this topic was too heavy.
After a long time, William said, “As long as we share the same hatred, I believe that Dasong people can’t do it. From now on, we must increase the smearing of 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 Dasong blocks our coastline?” Thompson raised his biggest worry now.
His words caused another silence in the room.
Looking out of the window, Ashley pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, “From the current situation, it is difficult for us to confront Da Song militarily. We need time to catch up in equipment, and at the same time learn more about the country of Da Song. Therefore, we need to try to improve our relationship with Da Song, 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 Lands to fight Dasong to the death.” Ashley clenched her fists tightly.
After a pause, she continued, “But this is the worst plan. There is a glimmer of hope. We must try our best to improve the relationship with Da Song. Don’t forget that our Western natives’ weapons are not only battleships and artillery, but also our If we can use the weapon of thought to overthrow Dasong and cause civil strife, that would be the best for us, wouldn’t it?” The
three of them nodded slowly when they heard this.
At this time, William thought of something and said, “I’m afraid those bastards in the Tory Party will not easily agree to let us improve our relationship with Da Song, and they will definitely accuse us of being weak.”
“This is indeed a problem, and this is what you will do next. Busy things, I believe you can shut them up.” Ashley frowned.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” William replied, and he raised this matter naturally to get Ashley’s support.
