C1051 British Prime Minister (1/2)
To Britain, the benefits of the sea could not be challenged. Although it was the French who were being bombarded, the British were secretly pleased. However, the whole of British Government was very nervous about this ghost like warship.
Because of the lack of information, the vague and excessive sensationalism of the ship, Britain is still not sure whether it belongs to the Ryukyu or whether Prussia's industrial level can produce such a powerful warship.
Thus, although Britain had the largest number of warships involved in the Atlantic search, the public information system was still very low in terms of calibre and tone. The British Government even believed that this was an excuse used by the foolish French to cover their weakness.
In the eyes of these British politicians, the great Napoleon's nephew, the mighty France had actually failed to win against the Ryukyu, and even signed an humiliating treaty. This kind of country should be removed from the list of strong people.
God knows what happened in the Dakar. They would rather believe that Victoria's biological father, William I, did it than admit that the Chinese had such abilities.
It wasn't until a few days ago when the mysterious warship that was the Ikek Ocean Battle appeared again, that British Government was shocked. Only now did they finally understand that the warship was Xiao Letian's trump card.
Humiliation, a strong sense of shame, the politicians who mocked the Chinese for not being able to do so, forgot what they had said before and began to accuse Prime Minister Derby of incompetence, idiocy, indecision... In any case, all the dirty water had been poured onto this old man.
In any case, the Count de Beer did not have a good relationship with people, and had offended a lot of people with his bad temper in life.
The Count de Beer was of course very angry. The Chinese and the Prussian teaming up to play the British round, this made him feel very humiliated. Actually, it's not important if the battleship doesn't belong to a battleship. With Britain's industrial strength and shipbuilding level, as long as we can get a general idea of the battleship's intelligence, or have a hand drawing to simulate a battleship with better performance.
The British Empire's power would not be defeated by a single warship! But this humiliation was completely unacceptable to the British, who had ruled the world.
Right now, this top secret information had not been made public, and the newspapers only had fragments of the Ikek's sea battle. The people did not know that the ghost ship, which had destroyed the Dakar, had appeared again in the South America.
However, information could not be hidden from important figures. The powerful parties in the upper and lower courts were already ready to strike out at any time, not only did they want to teach Prussia and the Chinese a lesson, they also wanted to teach the Count de Beer a lesson.
That hateful old man, he should be satisfied that he had already served three terms as prime minister. Would he still occupy the prime minister's seat now that he was so seriously ill? He had to give up his seat and let Benjamin make his move.
During this period of time, Count de Beer had been protecting his internal and external pressure, and even the Queen had sent someone to visit his body. Derby knew that the Queen was apparently talking about his gout, but the subtext was very obvious. Could he withstand it? If you can't do it, then say it clearly. We've worked together for half a lifetime, no matter what, the Imperial Family will give you a way out of this predicament. ”We can't really be impeached...”
However, those words were not enough to catch the attention of the Queen Victoria. The prestige of this old lady was simply too high. Anyone who dared to say a word of no to her would have their entire life torn to shreds by the British people.
Just as Debbie was having a headache, an unexpected visitor suddenly came over. ”Prime Minister... The Minister of Finance suddenly came to visit! ”
After a moment of shock, De Bi realised that the two attacks from the South America's two British citizens had caused Benjamin to lose his patience. He had decided to fight to the death.
