Chapter 382 America holds on, your British father will not let the French win! (Please subscribe, please vote)

US Secretary of State George Van Buren has left No. 10 Downing Street and returned to the US Embassy to wait for the good news.

The Duke of Wellington and his cabinet members, however, could not go anywhere and had to stay at No. 10 Downing Street to continue their meetings to discuss the national policy of the British Empire.

In order to listen to the military's opinions, the Duke of Wellington also called the First Sea Lord Sir Thomas Hardy, the Army Chief of Staff Sir Allure Clark, and the Director of Military Industry in charge of military production Somerset.

After roughly introducing the true situation of the North Atlantic Battle and the determination of the United States, the Duke of Wellington frowned and looked at his cabinet ministers - the current British government is a coalition of two parties, and the Duke of Wellington frowned

In fact, it was the "joint scapegoat" launched by the Tory and Whig parties.

After all, the British Empire is facing a war with great risks. If you are not careful, you will fall from the position of the empire on which the sun never sets. Therefore, the leaders of the Tory and Whig parties are willing to step back and let their reputation be very high.

The Duke of Wellington, who was high but had no party, became the wartime prime minister. According to British tradition, the MPs who can serve as ministers are senior MPs who are more influential in the party. Therefore, Wellington, who is above the two

Whether the party's military prime minister can implement his policies depends on whether he can get the support of his ministers.

The Duke forced a smile and said: "Obviously, we have successfully tied the Americans onto the imperial tank. And the opening of the America-Atlantic battlefield is also very beneficial to us. After all, before the opening of the Nicaragua Canal

, the ships of the Ming Navy must bypass South America and Africa before entering the North Atlantic! That is a long journey of almost 20,000 nautical miles, which will definitely put their warships and sailors in a state of fatigue.

In addition, except for the Mexican shipyard in Port Elizabeth, the Ming Navy has no shipyard in the America-Atlantic battlefield that can repair ships. This means that there is only one shipyard for injured ships in the Caribbean and the Atlantic.

A few dry docks can be repaired. If the Americans can capture Port Elizabeth, it will mean the complete failure of the Ming Dynasty's North American-North Atlantic strategy.

And our joining will be the decisive factor in the Ming Dynasty's defeat in North America and the North Atlantic. And it will be the United States that bears the main cost of the North America-North Atlantic War."

The British cabinet ministers in the conference room all had expressionless faces and were obviously not moved by the Duke of Wellington's analysis. Except for Viscount Palmerston and Robert Peel, who had supported him from the beginning, everyone else seemed indifferent.

Duke Wellington paused and said in a worried tone: "And if we don't join the war, then the United States is likely to be defeated by Ming. Once the United States fails, Ming will not only firmly control Mexico, but also gain control of North America."

Territory, maybe Florida, maybe Louisiana. By then, the Ming Navy’s Atlantic Fleet will often cruise the English Channel!”

When they heard that the Ming Dynasty naval fleet was going to sail freely in the English Channel, several members of the British cabinet were finally a little moved, but more than half of the cabinet members still had no reaction.

The Duke of Wellington had no choice but to continue looking for reasons that were enough to impress the cabinet members. He said: "In addition, the Texas Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force supported by the Ming Dynasty will most likely use their aircraft-carrying warships to fight in the North Atlantic in the future.

By then, American cotton and oil will not be able to be imported into the UK! This will seriously hit our UK textile industry, and will also hinder the fuelization process of the Navy."

This is indeed a problem!

In the Battle of the North Atlantic, the two aircraft-carrying warships of the Texas Sea did show a strong ability to fight in small formations, which means that the aircraft-carrying warships have extremely strong capabilities to break up engagements - one aircraft-carrying warship

The combat radius can reach or even exceed 100 kilometers, so the efficiency of this kind of battleship in breaking up engagements is much higher than that of armored cruisers and cruisers.

The Duke of Wellington continued: "France will be in a very advantageous position in future industrial competition because they can import cotton from Egypt and oil from Rakshasa!"

As soon as they heard that they were going to lose to France, the cabinet members of the Duke of Wellington finally became restless!

"Prime Minister, we cannot allow this to happen!"

"Yes, we in Britain must not lose to France."

"Yes, we can't lose to the French!"

"The French are the most hateful, especially Louis XVII! He has completely forgotten who organized the anti-French alliance time and time again to help him recover. Now he actually wants Paris to replace London as the financial center of the West!"

For Britain, losing to the Ming Dynasty is not fatal. The worst is losing Australia, Oregon and part of India. At most, it is letting a real yellow peril Prince Zhu sleep with Queen Victoria and regenerating a British king named Zhu.

This is nothing to be ashamed of! The real yellow peril in this timeline is not the same concept as the yellow peril in another event line. The latter is racial discrimination - bullying you and calling you a "disaster"! And now

The Yellow Peril is simply stating a fact.

But if it loses to France, Britain will have to face the choice of survival or destruction!

After all, the Duke of Normandy who conquered Normandy was a vassal of the French king (the Normans were actually descendants of the Viking pirates), and Emperor Napoleon almost landed in England that year. If it hadn't been for the Marquis of Nelson who defeated the French emperor with less and more.

As for the Franco-Spanish combined fleet, the Bonaparte dynasty now rules Britain.

Of course, Louis XVII is not so black-hearted now. He seems to have no interest in conquering Britain. But he wants to defeat British manufacturing and British finance!

During this period, Louis XVII and his younger brother Louis the Black had frequent contacts with British industrialists and bankers, and offered many preferential terms, which were also unacceptable to Britain.

Britain can lose, but France cannot win!

Oh, not only France, but no powerful country on the European continent can win enough to break the balance of power. Even if this country is not too hostile to Britain, not even Britain's traditional allies!

Finally finding a subject that could impress the cabinet members, Duke Wellington breathed out and smiled: "Of course we will not lose to the French, because the French will fight with us, and they will be our allies against the Yellow Peril.

,How could we lose to our allies?”

Of course it would be great to be able to drag France into trouble! However, there are still a few cabinet members who do not believe that such a good thing can be possible.

"Prime Minister, are you really sure you can bring the French into trouble?"

"Louis XVII and Zhuge Weijiu of the Ming Dynasty's Zhuge family had the same affection as father and son!"

The Duke of Wellington smiled and said: "Gentlemen, I can assure you that Britain will never declare war on the Ming Dynasty without France following. I will personally attend the Congress of Vienna and speak to the leaders of Vienna and France.

Carry out full communication to ensure that he can lead the French army to fight with our British Empire. No matter what the outcome, France will advance and retreat with the United Kingdom!"

Austria, Vienna, Rothschild Palace.

This is Baron Solomon Rothschild's mansion in Vienna. To a certain extent, it is also the real power center of the Austrian Empire.

I don’t know since when, there has been such a legend in the Austrian Empire - Austria has two kings, one is the emperor of the empire, and the other is King Solomon. This King Solomon is the second son of Meyer Rothschild, Solomon.

Rothschild. His Rothschild Bank controlled Austria's finance and was the empire's largest creditor. It was also the backstage funder of Prime Minister Metternich.

Such a man who had everything he wanted in Europe and had everything rained him down, was now standing in front of the Rothschild Palace with a group of well-dressed European Jewish bosses and a group of well-dressed European Jewish bosses, facing a car with a group of French foreigners.

The golden carriage escorted by the legionary cavalry bowed respectfully, not daring to show any signs of neglect.

The owner of this golden carriage is His Highness Zhuge Weijiu, King Wu of the Ming Dynasty!
