Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1116

[Chapter 1116 Panic]

“In addition, we should also appease other western countries. The countries including Frank must be terrified now.” Just as William was about to go back and be alone, Ashley thought of another Headache.

This expedition was initiated by them in Britain.

These Western countries that followed them not only did not gain any benefits in the East, but also suffered heavy losses. They will definitely complain about Britain, and even feel dissatisfied with Britain.

In this case, if not handled properly, the alliance initiated by Britain will fall apart.

“We will immediately send diplomats to various countries.” William bowed slightly.

Next, he is afraid that he will spend a lot of time to quell the negative impact of the battle of Tianzhu.

For Britain itself, he also appeased the nobles and the people.

To the nations, he will give them confidence.

After all, fear sometimes brings unity, and sometimes makes some cowards choose to betray.

“As for the Duke of Welling, please be sure to supervise the imitation of the breech-loading rifle. If we can successfully imitate a rifle with similar performance, we will have more say in the future contest with Da Song.” Ashley instructed William, turned to the Field Marshal again.

Then, she looked at Thompson again, “I need to know all the information about Dasong’s new warship, and so do you. At the same time, I will gather technical personnel to study the structure of this new warship with limited information.” With a long

sigh, her eyelids lowered Chui, “The root of our British hegemony lies in the hegemony of the sea. Losing the hegemony of the sea means losing everything. Therefore, we can lose anywhere, but we can’t lose in this aspect. It is better than Da Song.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Welling and Thompson bowed slightly.

Seeing Ashley waving, the three of them understood and left Watham Palace.

Back at their respective offices, the three of them immediately fell into busy affairs.

William immediately called the chairman of the newspaper committee.

This is the head of the British government agency responsible for managing newspapers.

“I think someone has more or less known the news of the Tianzhu War. In order not to panic the people, I need you to release the news as I said.” William said.

“Okay, Prime Minister.” The person in charge took out a small notebook from his jacket pocket, preparing for discipline.

The three private newspapers in Longton are all backed by Whig MPs.

It is precisely because of this that they used the newspaper’s influence on the public to win the election campaign against the Tory Party two years ago.

After that, they became more and more aware of the importance of the newspaper office.

Although this institution is inconspicuous, it can dominate public opinion and create an environment favorable to its own side.

Of course, the failed Tory Party realized this too, so they also started to enter the newspaper industry.

It’s just that they came too late, and the status of their three newspapers was already unshakable.

“Today is a sad day. We have just received news that the soldiers of the expedition had a fierce battle with the demons in the east in Tianzhu. Although our soldiers are brave and fearless, because the entire eastern land has become a den of demons. Under such unfavorable circumstances, they still failed.”

“However, they also used huge sacrifices in exchange for great results. Now, the demons in the east have suffered heavy injuries and can only shrink back in the east to lick their wounds. Continue to attack the Western Lands.”

“However, the devil will heal his wounds one day. Now not only we Britons must unite, but the entire Western Lands must unite. As long as we work together, the devil will definitely be defeated. Don’t forget, this is a battle. Jihad, small setbacks should not discourage us, we must fight to the end until the moment of Jihad victory!” William said his general meaning in one breath, and said, “Go back and let your people polish it.”

The content of his dictation has tried his best to avoid avoiding failure, and more is to stimulate the public’s anger against Dasong.

In this way, the failure of the expedition seemed less frightening.

On the contrary, it will make the people more united.

In the midst of the fallout from the failure of William’s Salvation Expedition.

Frank on the other side of the British Channel also received news of the annihilation of the coalition forces.

After that, the news jumped from one place to another like a flea.

Within two or three days, all the Western countries participating in the expedition were basically informed of this matter.

Almost like Britain, the kings or prime ministers of these countries tried their best to downplay this failure, but instead deepened their hostility towards Dasong by stirring up national sentiment.

They are very clear that if they admit policy mistakes, they will inevitably be questioned by the opposition.

It is more to your advantage to portray yourself as a hero against the enemy.

However, the bewitched people are still clamoring for war because they don’t understand Dasong’s true strength, and the racial sentiment of white supremacy is even more intense.

But the aristocrats who understood what they really wanted knew that they had to do something.

Someone proposed to send envoys to Dasong to secretly improve relations and resume trade with Dongtu.

The failure of the naval battle made them understand that the ocean belongs to Dasong from then on.

Without the consent of the Dasong people, we will no longer be able to go to the east for sea trade, and even other trade routes will gradually be lost in the future.

There are also people who are not reconciled to the fall of the hegemony of the Western Lands, and demand to establish a stronger Western Land Alliance, mobilize the people, and confront Dasong in an all-round way.

However, despite their frequent movements, panic was the most in their hearts.

It’s like the prisoner is waiting for the final judgment.
