Chapter 148 The British Empire knows how to stir things up best! (Please subscribe, please vote)

Hampton Court Palace, London, UK.

King George IV was sitting on the throne in the audience hall, looking at the ailing new Prime Minister George Canning with a look of helplessness. Then he turned his attention to the Duke of Wellington, who was still energetic despite his age.

In fact, according to the king's opinion, the most suitable person to lead the British Empire now is undoubtedly the Duke of Wellington, who is about to go to India to serve. He is tough enough and has many friends and admirers on the European continent. He has the rank of marshal alone.

There are eight (one person is also the marshal of the eight countries)!

But as an outstanding professional soldier, he made the Tories and Whigs who controlled the House of Commons feel fear. Although there were many soldiers in the British Empire who turned to politics, the prestige of the Duke of Wellington was too great.

If it is too high, people will inevitably think of Cromwell.

Moreover, this great figure who is both a military strategist and a politician has publicly stated more than once: "Factional struggles have greatly harmed national interests!"

This seemed to show that he really had the idea of ​​banning the Tories and Whigs to implement military disarmament. Thinking of this, George IV had to sigh and asked George Canning: "Mr. Canning, as the new term

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, what strategies do you intend to use to deal with today's complex and difficult international situation?"

George Canning frowned and said: "Your Majesty, on the European continent, there is only one country that may pose a threat to the United Kingdom, and that is the Rakshasa Empire. If we break with the Rakshasa Empire because of the Constantinople issue

, then we will not be able to unite the whole of Europe."

George IV frowned, "Prime Minister, do you really want the Rakshasa people to get Constantinople?"

George Canning immediately shook his head and said: "No, Your Majesty, of course I will not let the Rakshasa people get Constantinople, they will never get the city of the emperor! But at present, we must unite the Rakshasa country

, otherwise we will not be able to launch a counterattack against the Ming Empire in India, Central Asia, Malacca and Japan! Let alone make Ming and Rakshasa turn against each other. If Ming and Rakshasa form an alliance, then the United Kingdom will soon lose her.

The sun never sets on the Empire. This is tantamount to catastrophe for the United Kingdom. The Ming Empire will win without a fight!"

It has to be said that although George Canning has a strong sense of justice, his mind is still sharp and his methods are flexible enough.

"Prime Minister," the Duke of Wellington couldn't help but speak, "have you thought about the consequences after the Rakshasa people got Constantinople? This will not be the end of the Rakshasa people's expansion along the Mediterranean coast, but just

It's a start!

Next, they will march to the entire Asia Minor, Syria, Jerusalem, and even attack Egypt! Once Egypt falls into the hands of the Rakshasa people, the Suez Canal will be controlled by the Rakshasa people. At that time, the Rakshasa navy will enter the Indian Ocean!

"

"Duke, I fully understand the ambitions of the Rakshasa Kingdom," said George Canning, "but the problem now is, if we don't allow the Rakshasa Kingdom to invade Constantinople, they will not march. In fact, the key to this issue is

It’s not the Rakshasa at all, but the Ming Dynasty! Once the Ming Dynasty gets involved in this war against Turkey, Ali Pasha will definitely switch sides and lose Ali Pasha’s army. The Ottoman Turkish Empire cannot resist the Rakshasa army at all!

Once the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire becomes inevitable, once strong expectations of the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire appear, then everyone will oppose the Ottoman Turkish Empire! If we want to prevent the collapse of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, we can only form an alliance with the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

This move will push the Rakshasa Kingdom to the side of the Ming Empire!

Moreover, the result of the Kii Battle showed that the Royal Navy was not ready to defeat the Ming Navy! So now the British Empire cannot choose to take a big gamble."

George Canning previously advocated a "fake gamble" to scare off the Ming Dynasty, but in the recent Battle of Kii, the British Royal Navy's most powerful "Sovereign" class had proven to be worthless.

Under such circumstances, choosing "fake gambling" will not only fail to scare off the Ming Dynasty, but will scare away the allies and potential allies of the British Empire.

So the British Empire must change its strategy!

George IV frowned and asked: "In other words, we can only use Constantinople to win over the Rakshasa Kingdom and get the Rakshasa people to side with us?"

"Your Majesty," George Canning said, "The Ottoman Turkish Empire is a huge empire. Although it is about to die, no country can completely swallow it up. The United Kingdom, the Rakshasa Kingdom, France, Austria and other Western powers,

Everyone will get their own share from the legacy of the dead Ottoman Turkish Empire!

And before we decide to kill her, we must first determine how to divide her inheritance. We now need an international conference to discuss this most interesting issue!"

George IV already somewhat understood George Canning's intention. He asked: "Prime Minister, do you mean that we will use this meeting to isolate the Ming Dynasty, contain the Rakshasa, and unite all countries in Western Europe, Central Europe, and Southern Europe?"

"Your Majesty is wise," George Canning said, "In addition to the above purposes, we should also achieve satisfactory results on the issue of naval armaments and on the issue of curbing the expansion ambitions of the Ming Empire."

"What should we do?" asked the King of England.

"Your Majesty," George Canning replied, "First of all, we should choose a queen for the Eastern Roman Empire that owns Constantinople and all of Rumelia!"

"Alexandra Victoria?"

"Yes," said George Canning, "she will also be the fiancée of Grand Duke Alexander Nikolayevich. Nicholas I will definitely be satisfied with this arrangement."

George IV shrugged, "The Queen of the United Kingdom, the Empress of the Roman Empire, the Empress of the Indian Empire. Emperor Nicholas would wake up laughing while sleeping!"

"But as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess does not become the queen, nor does she marry Grand Duke Alexander and give birth to an heir, then everything is uncertain." George Canning said, "But this is enough to keep the Rakshasa Kingdom for a long time in the future.

Stand with us for a while!”

George IV nodded: "That's right. Britain is not a Rakshasa after all. In Britain, the Parliament holds great power. Members of the House of Commons will not welcome an overly powerful king."

"Your Majesty is right." George Canning nodded and did not continue the topic.

Because everyone knows that there is great uncertainty about whether Alexandra Victoria I, the Empress of the Roman Empire and Crown Princess of the Rakshasa Empire, can become the Queen of the United Kingdom!

George Canning added: "With the support of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the troubles in India and Afghanistan can be satisfactorily resolved, and the Ming Empire will not continue to escalate its confrontation with us. At most, they will ask for a center in the Malacca Strait.

military port and will no longer make requests to Australia.

And an overly powerful Rakshasa will frighten Austria, France, Prussia, and Sweden. These countries will stand firmly beside the British Empire. Even the Arab Empire of Ali Pasha will also fear the Rakshasa because of its treatment of the Rakshasa.

The fear of empire sought the protection of the British Empire. As far as I know, Ali Pasha was a politician with a very flexible moral bottom line."

"But the Rakshasa will eventually get Constantinople and Rumelia," said the Duke of Wellington, "and then Rome and Rakshasa will become one! At that time, those Slavs will become Romans

Got it!"

George Canning smiled and said: "The premise is that the Rakshasa people can really capture Constantinople!"

The Duke of Wellington was stunned: "Ali Pasha has switched sides, will they still be unable to conquer Constantinople?"

George Canning smiled and said: "Who knows? Maybe Ali Pasha has changed his mind again and does not plan to defect. Maybe the French will secretly support Turkey. This is not the first time they have done such a thing. Maybe Austria

People will conflict with the Rakshasa people because of the interests of the Balkans, and maybe there will be rebellion in Poland! In short, as long as the Rakshasa people choose to ally with us, there will be too much uncertainty."
