Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1143
[Chapter 1132 Thoughts]
The mottled tree shadows reflected on Victoria’s slightly angry face.
After staring blankly at the steel battleships on the ocean for a long time, she nodded slightly, then turned around and got on the carriage and headed towards her palace. Now she needed to calm down her mood.
Brooke sighed. Sometimes he felt that this was the retribution the British had received for slaughtering and enslaving the natives for two hundred years.
Now they have to use two hundred years to repay the wealth they robbed the world to the Eastern Empire.
But fortunately, they had two hundred years of accumulation, which gave Britain enough wealth to consume in the battle with the Eastern Empire.
After watching Victoria’s carriage disappear, Brooke returned again by boat. He wanted to formally welcome Yue Yun and his party on behalf of the Queen.
“I am British Prime Minister Murphy, General Yue Yun. Welcome to the UK, and please bring greetings to your Majesty the Emperor on my behalf.”
Taking a small boat, Brooke took Murphy to the battleship where Yue Yun was.
Obviously, Victoria was not willing to receive Yue Yun and other imperial soldiers here in person, because in her opinion, this was a trample on British dignity.
At the same time, as the queen, she is also the highest symbol of Britain. If the emperor of the Eastern Empire arrives in person this time, she should greet him personally. This is the principle of reciprocity in diplomatic rules.
Yue Yun had been observing the port just now. She saw a luxuriously dressed woman leaving, and Brooke showed humility to this person at that time.
In his opinion, this is the Queen of England.
“Thank you, and please send greetings to the Queen on our behalf, but it seems that she doesn’t like us very much.” Yue Yun said bluntly.
He went to England with the air of a victor, for in India he personally defeated the European fleet.
You should show strength in front of the defeated country so that the defeated country can correctly understand its position.
Murphy and Brooke’s eyes flashed with displeasure. The Queen of England was as sacred to them as Xiao Ming was to the Eastern Empire.
Yue Yun’s words just now clearly contained dissatisfaction with the Queen.
“According to the results of the discussion just now, Her Majesty the Queen will host a banquet for you all at the Tulip Palace tomorrow, so please don’t worry.” Brooke smiled unnaturally.
Yue Yun noticed the dissatisfaction on the two people’s faces, so he clicked: “Really? We are very much looking forward to it.”
Murphy showed an official smile, “We have cleared a place in the port, and you can dock at any time now.” “
Yue Yun nodded. At this time, the British warships in the port had given way. He turned and said to Liu Chen: “Enter the port
?” Liu Chen said with some worry, he was a little afraid of the British. People joined forces with them and robbed their warship while it was parked.
Yue Yun understood what Liu Chen was worried about, and he said confidently: “Your worries are unnecessary. Unless Britain wants to go to full-scale war with the empire now, they would not dare to do so.”
Liu Chen hesitated, and finally followed Yue Yun’s request. The warships all docked in the Port of London.
After landing on the shore, Hu Chuan and Kang Ming came over. When they saw Yue Yun, they looked excited, “General Yue, you are finally here. It’s not easy for us in the UK during this period.”
“Your business is the emperor’s. Already know, that’s why we were sent here.” Yue Yun said with a smile, “Don’t worry, we came to England this time to vent our anger.”
Hu Chuan and Kang Ming felt relieved at this time. Suddenly I felt an unprecedented peace of mind.
After coming to England, they had been uneasy, worried that the British would be detrimental to them. Now that the imperial fleet has arrived, he thought the British must now understand what to do.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!” Hu Chuan turned to the east and bowed deeply.
After exchanging pleasantries, Yue Yun and Hu Chuan were about to return to the embassy, when a figure blocked Yue Yun.
Seeing this man’s face clearly, Yue Yun was a little surprised. This man was Butlin who was captured during the Battle of India.
“General Butlin, what a coincidence.” Yue Yun had a smile on his face, but he was wary because he saw a hint of mischief in Butlin’s eyes.
“General Yue Yun, farewell to India. I didn’t expect that we could meet again. I hope you can have a good time in the UK.” Butlin’s smile was sinister.
After saying this, he didn’t wait for Yue Yun to speak and left alone.
“Discourteous!” Hu Chuan said angrily at Buterin’s figure. When Buterin walked away, he said to Yue Yun: “General Yue, you really shouldn’t have let these prisoners of war come back in the first place. Now Buterin is the leader. The generals became strong supporters of Victoria, which consolidated Victoria’s position in Britain. Most importantly, these people encouraged hatred against the empire everywhere. “
Really?” Yue Yun frowned. Looking back, despite the defeat in India, Britain only lost one colony in India. It still retained many colonies in South America and Africa, and its homeland was not attacked.
In his opinion, perhaps this factor prevented the native British from realizing the horror of the war, but instead aroused their anger because of the loss of the colony.
However, in the face of this situation, the Empire currently has no solution. This time coming from the Empire to the UK made him realize that the Empire really has no way to attack Europe across tens of thousands of kilometers.
Because they stopped at six British colonial ports on the way to Britain to replenish coal and water. The demand for these forty-two warships caused the British colonies to exhaust all their stocks.
After arriving in London, the fresh water, coal, and food on their battleships were gone. If Britain did not provide them with these, their fleet would be paralyzed in Britain.
Forty-two battleships are like this. If the empire launches a large-scale war, it is impossible to ensure supplies without thousands of ships traveling between the empire and Europe.
Therefore, if it wants to fight in Europe, the empire must build military bases near Europe in advance and hoard a large amount of resources, so as to ensure victory in the war.
“It’s not wrong. This is what the Scottish MP told us.” Hu Chuan was worried that Yue Yun would not believe it, so he also revealed the source of the news.
Yue Yun nodded slightly, and while walking towards the embassy with Hu Chuan, he said: “The British Emperor also has a purpose for coming to this time. According to the Emperor’s plan, it is best to make Europe self-unrest and delay the development of Europe. War is only the second choice.”
Hu Chuanyan said with a smile: “Since war is the second choice, it means that war is still within the scope of consideration.”
After a pause, Hu Chuan said: “Please go back and tell your majesty that you want to dismember Britain. , I am afraid that the empire must intervene with force, otherwise the weak Scotland and Ireland will not be able to do it.”
