Chapter 1368 The Revenge of Napoleon V (Second update, please subscribe)
London, it's raining.
Members of Congress were delivering speeches, and angry people were shouting, arguing, and shouting.
All words are "retaliation" and "war".
No matter what political affiliation they belong to, no matter what political stance they take, their positions are almost the same now.
When the news of the naval battle in the Persian Gulf came, when people in the UK opened the newspapers and saw the news on the front page that a British warship was sunk and 176 Royal Navy officers and soldiers were killed, one can imagine their anger.
.
In this era, those arrogant British never thought that their British Empire would be so bullied by other countries. They could even clearly feel the Russians' contempt for the British Empire. After all, in history, only British warships were used to intercept
Merchant ships from other countries. When have warships from other countries intercepted British merchant ships, and they were also troop transports?
Now the Russians not only blocked the British ship, but after the interception failed, the escorting Royal Navy warship was attacked by Russian warships, sinking the ship and killing people. Faced with this reality, people naturally cannot bear it.
So the angry crowds took to the streets to protest against the barbaric atrocities of the Russian navy. These Anglo-Saxons themselves were bandits. They not only burned the flags of Russia, no, it should be said to be the Roman Empire, but even directly burned them in the streets.
Smashed the Russian embassy in London.
At the same time, the angry British also pointed the finger at the government. Labels such as "weak and bullied" and "cowards" were flying on the government. In the eyes of those British, such a weak and bullied government has long been
You should step down and get out.
Driven by public opinion, the British's anger grew stronger day by day, and almost all politicians from the local area to London were demanding revenge.
The reason why the British had such a violent reaction was just a normal thing. After all, for the British, the Royal Navy has always been their pride. For the British, the "Destroyer" that sank into the sea was not only
It is the source of hatred, and it is equivalent to giving Britain a hard slap in the face where they are most proud.
The damage is not great, but the insult is very strong.
The media reports are tantamount to uncovering everything, further insulting all of Britain, and pouring several ships full of fuel into the fire of hatred-insult and hatred are expanding infinitely in everyone's hearts, and public sentiments are growing.
Angry, the government and the opposition exploded, and public opinion boiled...
Of course, some observers have found that this matter is not as simple as they imagined. On one side, there are instigations in newspapers and on the other side, there are radical words from politicians. But what about Downing Street? Downing Street has maintained a terrible silence.
Is this silence a sign of weakness and fear?
Of course it's impossible. In the eyes of observers, this is just the calm before the storm!
Downing Street is making a difficult decision.
Those observers with a keen sense of smell can only make guesses. Everything will have to wait until Downing Street makes a decision before the outside world can understand what they are planning.
However, for James Bond, he already knows Downing Street's final decision.
After leaving No. 10 Downing Street, James Bond opened his umbrella. Then he stood on the roadside, looking at the passers-by, let out a long sigh, and left without saying a word.
…
It's not just the British who are paying attention to Downing Street. On the European continent, which is only separated by a strait, Napoleon V, who is supposed to be enjoying the beauty of his newlyweds, is, as usual, always asking for Britain's reaction several times a day.
Faced with her husband's concern about the direction of Britain, Isabel asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, do you want Britain to declare war on Russia?"
If not, how could he pay attention to the developments in Britain every day?
"It's not that I want them to declare war, but because everything has reached a critical point and no one can stop it..."
Judy suddenly became emotional.
"Tipping point? What does that mean?"
After moving her slender yet plump body on the soft sofa, Isabel looked at her husband curiously.
"It's a boundary that is bound to explode."
Judy thought for a while and then said.
"The British occupy most of the overseas colonies in the world. Every country including us that wants to expand overseas will inevitably conflict with British interests. However, overseas expansion is related to the country's future foundation. This
There is no doubt that a war between countries will definitely break out. The only difference is the time when it breaks out and the causes that trigger it."
Listening to her husband's explanation, Isabel, an imperial queen who was born in the Bourbon Orleans family, thought for a while, and then sighed.
"So that's the case, but among the people, not many people like war."
"Yes, not many people like war."
Judy nodded and said.
"The unilateral will of the ruling group alone cannot mobilize the entire people to fight a war..."
There was a pause, and then Judy said again.
"But with a proper reason, after the people's patriotism is aroused, they will naturally be eager for war, just like the British now. The humiliation brought by the sunk warships makes the British eager for revenge, and even
Longing for war, at least they will not regret this choice until they send half of their youth to the battlefield."
"My God, half the youth, what kind of war is this going to be?"
With a sneer, Napoleon V said:
"It is a real world war! The whole world will be involved in it. Whether they want it or not, they will definitely be involved. Even this war is inevitable. The most serious domestic problem in countries around the world today is that after continuous rapid economic growth
, have all fallen into a downturn to varying degrees, with corporate profits generally declining, unemployment rising accordingly, and social unrest... The current situation is unfavorable, so people's minds have changed."
Looking at her talkative husband, Isabel suddenly said nervously.
"My dear, what about us? What about France? Are we going to be involved in this war?"
His wife's question made Judy think about it for a moment, then he pursed his lips again and said.
"We cannot stay out of this war. This is not just because of our alliance with the Russians. There is a more important reason - the British! They murdered my brother!"
"What!"
Isabel said in surprise.
"The British... they planned the "Jerusalem Incident", and both my brother and the Pope died in their assassinations!"
Napoleon V sneered.
"For the past few years, I have been waiting for today, waiting for this opportunity. Do they think I will forget?"
patience!
In the competition between countries, the competition is often about patience, and if you want revenge, it is even more important to compete for patience.
In the past few years, Judy has learned to be patient and wait. He has been enduring the desire for revenge deep in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to come.
Now that the opportunity has come, how could he miss it?
"Now is the time for the truth to come to light."
The old group has died and a new book club group has been established: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
