The alliance faction immediately retorted: "I think it's the opposite. Although Tsarist Russia defeated Long Yan and was trapped in the north, it is still strong now. And I heard that Long Yan's troops disappeared after defeating the French navy."
"Those are five supply ships and two battleships. Long Yan's strength is obvious to everyone. Who knows if they will suddenly appear."
"Allying with Tsarist Russia and letting them snipe Long Yan is the best choice!"
The centrists expressed no opinion.
The non-aligned faction snorted coldly: "I heard that Elizabeth I is now on the throne in Tsarist Russia. Although Menshikov has stepped down, his power is still there."
"Moreover, Elizabeth I relied on conservatives to become Tsar. Now Tsarist Russia can be said to have internal and external troubles.",
"We are now in alliance with Tsarist Russia. Will the conservatives agree? What is the attitude of Menshikov's remnant party, and what is the attitude of Elizabeth I to stabilize her position?"
"She may refuse our alliance proposal for the sake of her own rule."
The alliance faction slammed the table: "You are wrong. At this time, she will agree to our request for an alliance."
"One side can take the opportunity to eliminate political opponents."
"Secondly, by establishing meritorious deeds, we might be able to recapture the ice-free port. That is the most coveted thing of the Tsarist Russians. They have suppressed it for too long and need a big victory."
"The third is to establish prestige. Elizabeth is young after all. If she doesn't have prestige, how can she suppress the many factions in the House of Lords?"
After a heated exchange of views, the two sides did not reach a conclusion.
At this time, Teresa, who had been silent, spoke: "I think..."
As soon as she spoke, the House of Lords immediately fell into silence.
Allied, non-aligned, and neutral factions all turned to look at the only female archduchess in Austrian history.
Teresa smiled lightly, looked at the current map of Europe, and said lightly.
"Long Yan's vanguard fleet has disappeared from the Mediterranean Sea. Whether you believe it or not, Liu Zheng may have landed in Europe."
"It is probably only a matter of time before Liu Zheng's large force lands."
"Although it may not threaten us in the short term, Long Yan's armaments are advanced, and everyone understands that Austria may not be an opponent. And..."
The senators fell silent.
Teresa looked around and sighed: "That's a million dragon flame army. Can you resist it?"
The faces of the senators seemed to be covered by dark clouds, and they were extremely depressed.
They really want to say that Long Yan is nothing, but the reality is that Austria may not be Long Yan's opponent.
Teresa knocked on the corner of the table.
"However, Tsarist Russia has experience fighting Long Yan, and he has the greatest hatred for Long Yan."
"Although the Netherlands and the Ottomans are the only ones left in Europe now, and have not declared war with Prussia, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, everything will be different when Long Yan joins the battlefield."
"So why don't we unite with Tsarist Russia now? Do we have to wait until our advantage is disintegrated by Long Yan?"
The senators fell into thinking. It was indeed true. The non-aligned faction wanted to say a few more words.
Teresa stopped the senator and said, "I know you are worried about what if Tsarist Russia is released to expand during the war and threaten us?"
"The premise is that if we can win, Tsarist Russia will not be completely beaten to death by Long Yan."
All the senators nodded. She is indeed the smartest woman in Austria. This plan is simply brilliant, killing two birds with one stone.
Soon, Theresa arranged for people to travel from Vienna to Moscow to form an alliance with Tsarist Russia.
