C2577 The British reaction! (2/2)
”But we, Britain, definitely do not want the war to escalate. Our goal is not to kill anyone, not to kill Napoleon III, or to make William abdicate. We want them two countries to fight to the death and both of them to the death, but we can't let any countries fall yet!”
”What Britain wants is a balance policy on the mainland. What Britain wants is for the two dogs to bite into their wounds so that no one can challenge us to be first in Britain. That is what we want!”
”Remember, son, pay close attention to this war. Once it begins, who will we, the British, help? It's definitely to help those who are weaker, and only by helping those who are weaker, will they be able to make this war flow with even more blood! ”
Right now we will help the Prussian, but once the Prussian is about to eliminate the French, we still need to change our strategy to immediately protect the French! ”” That's right!
”In the end, what we want is the process of war, and not the result of who wins and loses from it! After this war ends, I hope that the hatred between France and Prussia will continue. I hope that it is impossible for them to have another overlord like Napoleon I. ”
Prince Edward stood in front of his mother, respectfully listening to her lecture with his head lowered, ”Yes, mother. I understand, because of Xiao Letian's matter, it is very likely that Prussian Kingdom would lose his rationality, and choose to put forth all of his strength, regardless of anything!”
”This way, the war will be escalated and it will take a long time. Once we reach the conclusion that we are going to consume the country's energy, France's energy will continue to increase!”
”By that time Prussia would have been defeated, badly defeated, and the land would have been taken by the French... It is not as if this had never happened before. Back then, Napoleon had once cut off half of the Prussian Kingdom's land.
”This kind of result is unacceptable in Britain. If this kind of result happens, then Napoleon III will really become Napoleon I, and that man who caused the whole Europe to tremble, will never appear again, and that will be our England's bottom line!”
”Very good, you are absolutely right. Go down with Gladstone and those people from the military. Bring out a concrete plan!”
”Yes, mother …” Crown Prince Edward turned his head and prepared to leave the palace.
”Wait a moment, before you go, go and meet with His Majesty, the Emperor of Tongzhi … Xiao Letian is his teacher after all, so he should be the first one to receive this news! ”
”Then, Mother, if Emperor Tongzhi takes this opportunity to ask us to leave England for Prussia to pay our respects, will we agree to it or not, will we continue to control him, or let him go?”
Queen Victoria muttered to herself for a moment, ”The dead are big, we should let Emperor Tongzhi send his master on his final journey. Let him prepare the best battleship, and prepare to escort His Majesty to Prussia!”
At the moment, most of the people in Europe did not know that Tongzhi had not accompanied his master to Prussia and had stayed in London. It was not because the little emperor was willing to stay in this foggy city.
In fact, the real reason was Queen Victoria. This European Royal Family's grandmother had very shrewd calculations, she actually wanted to keep Emperor Tongzhi by her side to act as a matchmaker!
In the past few months, the Tongzhi Emperor had practically become Jia Bao Yu. He would attend all kinds of banquets and would be surrounded by a group of European princesses every day.
