C2720 The Queens retaliation! (2/2)
At the same time, she vaguely pointed out that a powerful Prussia must be a threat to Europe!
In truth, these words were meant for the British, France knew of the British policy of checks and balances on the mainland, now Queen Ou Renni's attitude was very clear.
”Do you care, Englishman? ”Now that France is on the verge of being destroyed by Prussia, once Prussia replaces France, the continental Europe will still have the advantage!”
”The most important thing is that the military progress in the Prussian is progressing too smoothly. To be able to easily occupy two provinces of France, this is not a situation where the British want clam cranes to compete and reap benefits!”
”Prussia has never been weakened by this war. This is a situation you, the British, would not want to see!”
Empress Ou Renni's diplomatic efforts had indeed paid off, as the European countries expressed their willingness to mediate this war. Even the Austria, Sha Russia and the others expressed their serious concern.
At the end of the day, the whole of Europe was scared stiff by Prussia's crazy fighting strength. None of the military analysts had expected Prussia to be so good at fighting.
He had originally thought that Prussia was a hungry wolf, but now he understood that this was a fierce tiger!
British Prime Minister Gladstone was waiting for the signal for help from France. When Ou Renni sent the telegram to Downing Street, the Prime Minister called for a press conference.
At the meeting, he said with a grave expression, ”The war has already caused heavy casualties among the civilians. I would like to express my deep condolences to the people who have suffered so much!”
”Britain has always been willing to maintain peace in the continental Europe. In fact, there is no irreconcilable hatred between Prussia and the France!”
”Right now, Government of France has already expressed her regret over blindly declaring war. I believe that this is a sign of goodwill towards peace, I hope that Bismark will not ignore this opportunity for peace!”
”I suggest that both sides immediately stop the exchange of fire and sit at the negotiating table together to resolve this unpleasant conflict!”
He really knows how to use diplomatic language. More than 50,000 people from both sides have died since the start of the war, yet such an intense war still turned into an unpleasant conflict in his mouth.
Clearly, Gladstone really wanted to suppress this uncontrollable war!
In his eyes, war was a good thing. It was better for both sides to pinch each other to death! The bad news was that war was not under British control, and once the direction was out of the British interest, they would take a 180 degree turn.
The reporter from the Thames seized every opportunity to ask, ”Your Excellency, may I ask, what kind of efforts do we British Empire have in the interest of diplomatic mediation?”
”What if Bismark disregards our suggestion?”
Gladstone sneered and said, ”I believe that Bismark will accept our kindness. The Royal Navy will send a visiting fleet to escort the Duke of Newcastle from the shore in three days, to Berlin to pay a visit to the King of Prussia!”
”Oh God! Send out the Royal Fleet? ”Prime Minister, how many battleships are you planning to send?”
”Haha, the number has not been determined yet, but we will definitely send out a 'powerful' fleet that will be in line with your status as the envoy. We will definitely not take down the prestige of our British Empire!”
It was obvious that Gladstone was about to use his naval magical equipment to threaten Prussia!
