Chapter 355 Are you weak? No, that’s cheating! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"Your Royal Highness, the reason why we arrange for you to learn Chinese is of course so that you can go to Austria to participate in the Vienna Peace Conference this summer. As the regent of the United Kingdom, of course you should go to Vienna on behalf of the United Kingdom. In Vienna, you must

You will meet diplomatic envoys from Ming Dynasty, Daikin, and Japan, and they will all use Chinese in diplomatic situations. You should know at least a little bit of Chinese, understand some simple greetings, and preferably speak a few sentences."

In a classroom for Princess Victoria alone in Windsor Castle, the person explaining to Victoria why she wanted to learn Chinese was of course her new Chinese teacher, George Spencer Churchill.

Of course he would not tell Victoria the truth. After all, it would be unseemly to "sell the queen if you can't beat her."

Although it has really reached the point where it can no longer be fought, it has to be sold... But the war has just begun, and the British Empire has not really exerted its strength. It has not fully used its "stunt" to lure France, Austria, Prussia, and the United States into the water.

All the other Western powers have been dragged down one by one and used as cannon fodder.

Therefore, "selling the queen" is just a worst-case alternative...

"But why don't I learn Rakshasa?" Princess Victoria turned to her most important teacher, Viscount Melbourne, "Is there something wrong with my engagement with Grand Duke Alexander?"

"Well..." Viscount Melbourne was a little embarrassed, because he knew that the precocious Princess Victoria liked Grand Duke Alexander very much - Grand Duke Alexander was a handsome young man! How could a little girl not like him?

"Princess," the Duke of Marlborough spoke to Viscount Malvern to relieve the situation, "your engagement with Grand Duke Alexander depends on the Rakshasa Kingdom's position in the current war and the upcoming Vienna Peace Conference.

If the Rakshasa Kingdom is determined to side with the Ming Dynasty, or adopt a neutral position in favor of the Ming Dynasty, then the British people will not want their future queen to marry a Rakshasa Grand Duke named Romanov."

"Yes, yes." Viscount Melbourne said, "That's what happened! But as the heir of the Rakshasa Tsar, Grand Duke Alexander will also attend the peace conference in Vienna. Maybe..."

Princess Victoria frowned and nodded, and said confidently: "Alexander will definitely be on my side... He promised in his letter to me that he will become my knight and always protect my safety.

"

Viscount Melbourne and Duke of Marlborough looked at each other, and then nodded together.

The Viscount said: "Then please Her Royal Highness the Princess to learn some Chinese as soon as possible...it will definitely be useful when the time comes."

"Well, I will definitely study hard." Princess Victoria looked at the Duke of Marlborough, "Let's start now. What should we learn first? The Chinese alphabet?"

"Yes, it's Chinese letters." The Duke smiled, "There are only 26 letters in total. It's not difficult at all."

…

France, Versailles, Grand Trianon.

"Brother and sister Natalie, have you received the good news from Grand Duke Mikhail?" Zhuge Weijiu seemed to be in a particularly good mood. When he saw Natalie who came to say goodbye to him, he asked her if she had any good news.

Received good news.

Natalie smiled and nodded, "Grand Counselor, I already know that the engagement between Grand Duke Alexander and Princess Victoria has finally been terminated... Now you can arrange a blind date for Grand Duke Alexander."

Zhuge Weijiu stroked his white beard and smiled: "That Princess Louise is a rare beauty. Although she is French, she has long black hair..."

In fact, there are some people in France who are born with black hair. For example, Louise has black hair! Princess Louise obviously followed her uncle and was also born with black hair.

"Yes, Princess Louise is indeed very beautiful." Natalie nodded in agreement.

During these days in Versailles, Natalie also met Princess Louise Maria several times.

Just as Zhuge Weijiu said, Her Royal Highness the Princess has amazing beauty. Her beauty is both the softness of the East and the beauty of the West. It is indeed very rare!

Moreover, this princess is also famous for her intelligence. She and Grand Duke Alexander must have many things in common. However, it is hard to say whether the marriage between Princess Victoria and Prince Xiao Lu will be happy.

Thinking of this, Natalie asked with a little worry: "Grand Military Advisor, should we arrange a meeting between His Royal Highness Prince Lu and Princess Victoria next?"

Zhuge Weijiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter is not that easy... Sister-in-law Natalie, you don't really think that the British have surrendered, do you?"

"Don't they?" Natalie was stunned, "I heard that Princess Victoria has already started learning Chinese."

"Hehehe," Zhuge Weijiu smiled, "Chinese is not easy to learn...but she doesn't have to worry, she still has time.

Because this time the UK did not really accept it, but pretended to accept it!

Today's Britain has the Duke of Wellington in the army and the Marquess of Nelson in the navy. Although it has fought a few defeats, it has not damaged its roots. How can it be possible to surrender so easily?"

Zhuge Weijiu, the great military advisor, was also quite familiar with Europe and was very familiar with the British tactics.

Of course I know that those Anglo-Saxons and Jews are not so easy to give in to.

However, Zhuge Weidao still can't figure out what their black hand is?

Natalie was a little worried again, "Grand Military Advisor, then they want to..."

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, you don't have to worry about this... Let's handle the matter for this reason, and we can already explain it to the emperor and the queen mother.

As for whether this thing can finally come true? It still has to be fought on the battlefield.

When you go back to see the Queen Mother and Brother Daozi, tell them that if you can't get it on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiation table!"

Natalie nodded: "Okay, I understand."

…

In fact, there is no need for Zhuge Weijiu to remind him, Zhuge Weidao also knows that this battle has just begun!

Moreover, he also knew that he, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, would soon face a difficult situation.

Because as the commander of the Pacific Fleet, he not only has to take care of affairs in the Pacific, but also in the Caribbean, and is also responsible for supporting the Texas Warriors.

Although that group of Texas warriors, all of whom had guns, gained the upper hand in their first battle with the Americans, their number was too small after all. The men, women, old and young together only numbered tens of thousands.

The United States, however, is a big country with a population of 20 million, has entered the threshold of industrialization, and is still advancing by leaps and bounds!

If the battlefield was in the Pacific, Zhuge Weidao would certainly not be afraid of the United States. But now, the war will break out in the Atlantic.

And since the canal across the two oceans has not yet been dug, the main force currently available to Zhuge Weidao is the Texas Japanese Self-Defense Force.

It’s not easy to win!

In the days before Zhuge Weidao went to Pearl Harbor, most of his energy was spent working with his staff and shipbuilding experts from the Navy Department to study what kind of main ships to equip the "Dezhou Sea Self"

Already.

Since the situation in the Caribbean is already very critical, it is definitely too late to build new ships for the "Texas Sea Cruise", and we can only use old ships to modify them.

Therefore, there are actually not too many options before Zhuge Weidao.

The "Liaodong-class" aircraft carrier, which was transformed from the "Nandao"-class fast merchant ship, has performed well in the Indian Ocean operations before, and is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to send these aircraft carriers directly to fight in the Caribbean.

Improvements must be made and naval warfare weapons such as artillery and torpedoes must be added.

With these weapons in naval warfare, the "Liaodong-class" aircraft carrier is no longer an ordinary mothership, but a real frigate...a frigate carrying aircraft!
