The British Empire is changing its nave again!

The George Canning in history was a short-lived man. He succeeded Jenkinson, Earl of Liverpool, who suffered a stroke, and became Prime Minister. However, he actually died faster than Jenkinson. People who had a stroke survived better than him!

In this timeline, the situation that George Canning faced after taking over the phase was even more complicated, and the British Empire was really in a state of turmoil.

The Ming Empire's "crushing dog" against Japan, in the eyes of discerning people, was a landmark event that was about to challenge the British Empire.

Because the purpose of the Ming Empire to crush Japan was obviously not for Japan's resources and market. The country's resources were very limited, and the Ming Dynasty could have obtained most of them through trade, so it went to war for the remaining resources and market.

, which is not necessary at all.

According to the information obtained by the British, the most valuable thing about Japan is its population of more than 30 million, especially its two to three million warriors who are brave and fierce. These warriors are enough to provide two to three million very elite soldiers.

army!

Although there are not many in number, they are elite soldiers who can undertake long-term expeditionary missions, and no matter how many casualties there are, they will not put pressure on the Ming court. Of course, people of George Canning's level know about such things as opening up new territories.

, as long as it does not cause too many casualties and economic losses to the people, it is generally more popular. Especially for a generally wealthy country like the Ming Dynasty, sitting in a comfortable home and eating sumptuous food while

It is certainly pleasant to read the good news of victory after victory in the newspaper!

In addition, if Japan carries out full mobilization, it can also produce an army of two to three million! This number, let alone Britain, France, and even the Rakshasa Kingdom may not be able to mobilize it.

Therefore, Japan is a country whose war manpower is greater than its war industry and war resources.

The Ming Dynasty, which has long followed the path of peaceful development, is a war industry with extremely rich war resources, but the people are not willing to fight in a country, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have been "cowarded" for so many years.

According to George Canning's original idea, the Ming Dynasty, which lacked cannon fodder, was unlikely to conquer the Japanese Ming faction who had already obtained many British weapons and ammunition in a short period of time. In his view, the siege of Nagasaki was very

It may last for several years and cause huge casualties to Ming Dynasty.

The resulting anti-war and war-weary sentiments may have a subversive impact on the rule of the eight great families!

But the war that was supposed to last for several years was actually decided in one day - the Ming side achieved an overwhelming victory!

This overwhelming victory often means the complete surrender of the defeated party.

Japan's complete surrender means that the Ming Empire already has enough cannon fodder resources for a worldwide war!

Moreover, the sea power in East Asia is now firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty! Japan, which lacks the support of industrial strength, can only become a country that provides cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty on land. This means that no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it cannot threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Status. It can only be that Ming Dynasty eats meat and Japan drinks soup.

Therefore, the foundation of cooperation between Ming Dynasty and Japan is quite solid!

For Daying, time is running out and probably not enough.

However, whether Britain still had time to prepare for war has nothing to do with George Canning. Because he has left the British people forever. He died in such a hurry that he even died before Jenkinson, Earl of Liverpool, who had suffered a stroke for many days.

Already.

George Canning, who was originally going to attend Jenkinson's funeral, can now only wait for his predecessor in heaven or hell.

As for the new Prime Minister of the British Empire, it was soon announced. This time it was Viscount Goderich, Frederick John Robinson. He was the second-in-command in George Canning's cabinet and served as the leader of the House of Lords.

, Secretary of State for War and Colonies. Since the leader of the House of Commons was still held by George Canning, Robinson became the number two in the Tory Party.

After the death of George Canning, he was quickly elected as the leader of the Tory Party, and was appointed Prime Minister of the British Empire by King George IV on the third day after the death of George Canning.

Of course, his first priority after becoming prime minister was to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the worrying issue of naval armaments and the alliance of tomorrow.

"Gentlemen, we have lost an outstanding Prime Minister, but at least we still have India!"

Robinson, who had already sat on the throne of Prime Minister, immediately felt tremendous pressure - he had already crushed two Prime Ministers recently. However, he still bravely shouldered the burden of the British Empire.

And what gave him the confidence to shoulder the heavy responsibility was, of course, India!

Until the last rupee of India is spent, the glory of the British Empire remains!

"The Ming Dynasty controlled Japan," Robinson said with a smile, "but we own India. Although India's financial resources are not as good as the Ming Dynasty, the Indian people can afford higher taxes. They are all natural tax models! And India has a population of 200 million.

Maybe more! If Japan can provide Ming Dynasty with up to 2 million cannon fodder, then India will be able to provide us with 10 million soldiers."

10 million versus 2 million, the advantage lies with Great Britain!

As he spoke, he said in a rather encouraging tone: "Our Prince William and the Duke of Wellington have arrived in India, and with them, there are at least 50,000 British troops!"

Wellington previously insisted on raising 100,000 yuan before going to India, but now that Great Britain has successfully negotiated peace with Dajin, it seems that the Duke of Wellington's task has changed from resisting gold and civil war to helping Prince William legally usurp the throne. It seems much easier!

Therefore, the Duke of Wellington took 50,000 people with him and went to India to usurp the throne while keeping Prince William alive.

Robinson added: "I believe it won't be long before Prince William will become the Emperor of India. By then, all of India's manpower, material resources, and financial resources will be at our disposal. The navy will also benefit from this, and we can build more warships and airships."

!However, we must also consider long-term interests and not invest too much in the military, so we still need to continue the Versailles naval armament negotiations. Before the naval armament negotiations begin in full, I think we first need to determine what we need.

What kind of battleships and cruisers?”

As he spoke, Robinson turned his attention to Viscount Palmerston, Earl Nelson and George Elliot.

In the end, it stopped at Yi Lu. The "pot" of naval armaments was his, and he had to carry it well.

"Prime Minister," George Elliot stood up and saluted the new Prime Minister, "please allow me to make suggestions on behalf of the Navy Department."

"Okay, please tell me." Robinson said.

"Mr. Prime Minister," George Elliot said, "We obviously need battleships and cruisers that are faster, have precise firepower, have reasonable defenses, and have strong air defense capabilities."

"Let's talk about battleships first...how many thousand-ton battleships should we build?"

"Currently, twenty thousand tons should be the limit." George Yilu said, "There may be super battleships with a displacement of thirty thousand tons in the future!

But I don't think we need to build such battleships right now... it's not a priority."

“What are the top priorities?”

"It is an armored cruiser with a displacement of about 10,000 tons, a maximum speed of at least 25 knots, a 10-11-inch main gun and a large number of 6-inch secondary guns!"

"this one?"

"This is the top priority at the moment... This armored cruiser can defeat any type of Ming cruiser, but it can run faster than the Hongwu Emperor class!

If Ming Dynasty insists on the thousand-ship plan, we should build a large number of such armored cruisers!

In addition, we also need an air force that is comparable to the airship force of the Ming Navy Air Force!"
