Although Prince Gong and Yi Xin did not want to see this Minister of the Auspicious Kingdom, his little arms could not twist his thigh after all.
Because Liu Hai has evil intentions and is seeking good fortune for his country, the court cannot even see him now.
So Prince Gong could only reluctantly ask the envoy from the Kyrgyzstan Kingdom to wait in the small flower hall.
He changed into slightly more formal clothes and then was led by the eunuch to the small flower hall.
When Sir Dou Nale saw Prince Gong Yixin coming, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed his arm and said: "Because of your matter, Liu Hai has fallen out with us now. You should quickly give him an order to take back his life."
, otherwise, a real fight would be detrimental to both our countries."
Prince Gong Yixin was a little confused by the official affairs of the auspicious country, but he still calmly persuaded the minister for a few words, and then the guests and hosts were seated, and the maids served tea.
Prince Gong Yixin took a sip of tea and then said: "The minister came to see me this time. Could it be that something happened to his bangs again?"
Sir Dou Nale glared at Prince Gong fiercely, and then told Prince Gong Yixin about Liu Hai's ultimatum to the Geely Kingdom.
Finally, the minister stated: "This matter is all caused by the sale of warships by Geely to the Qing Dynasty, so I hope the Qing government can issue a formal order asking Liu Hai not to interfere in this matter."
After hearing this, Prince Gong Yixin smiled bitterly. Is this minister stupid? Or what?
If the Qing court could restrain Liu Hai, why not buy warships from them? Liu Hai's Nanyang Navy alone would be enough to ensure the security of the Qing Dynasty's maritime borders.
"Mr. Minister, you are making things difficult for me. I want Liu Hai to obey my orders, but he has to obey them."
After listening to Prince Gong's words, Sir Dou Nale also realized that he was confused if he was concerned. The current Qing Dynasty could not restrain Liu Hai at all, so he was thankful to God for being able to maintain a superficial calm with Liu Hai.
Sir Dou Nale was immediately discouraged when he thought of this. He sat down next to Prince Gong Yixin, holding a cup of tea and drinking tea there without talking any more.
Sir Dou Nale didn't expect that bangs could be so difficult to deal with, and that he would fall out with you if something went wrong.
Prince Gong Yixin saw the envoy in such a dilemma, and finally thought about it before saying, "Mr. envoy, do you think this is okay? I will issue an edict to Liu Hai based on the order of the court. If he agrees,
That's naturally good. If we don't agree, if there is a conflict with your country in the future, then we, the Qing Dynasty, will remain neutral and will not provide him with any resources."
Sir Dou Nale can only keep it like this now. It would be good to weaken his bangs a little bit.
Sir Dou Nale thought for a while, and then said: "I think now is the best time to weaken the bangs. Once the bangs conflict with our British Empire, he will have no time to take care of himself. At that time, I want to ask the Qing Dynasty to deal with it from land.
Liu Hai launches an attack, and if we work together sincerely, we can destroy him faster."
Prince Gong Yixin thought about what the other party said, and felt that it made sense. Liu Hai was now in a situation that was very difficult to control. If the Qing Dynasty was just against Liu Hai, there would be little chance of winning. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to promote peace between the country and the country.
Liu Hai turned his back and took advantage of the situation from the land, maybe he could eliminate this scourge.
"Mr. Minister is very right. I have agreed to this matter. As long as there is a conflict between Liu Hai and the Geely Kingdom, we will definitely send troops to help and jointly eliminate this unstable factor in the Far East."
Sir Dou Nale has finally achieved some results this time. Although this help is dispensable, the Qing court has the name of the central government after all. When Liu Hai fails to respect orders, Liu Hai will also have a lot of influence among the people.
Big loss.
In this way, the Minister of Kyrgyzstan, Sir Doona Le, left Prince Gong's Mansion and returned to his own embassy. He immediately reported the terms of the meeting with Prince Gong Yixin to the London government.
The current London government is also having a bit of a headache. They didn't expect that such a trivial matter would cause Liu Hai to go into a big fight.
In the minds of these gentleman-like diplomats, although the other party's warships were seized this time, according to past practice, the two sides were just fighting a war of words for several years, and finally settled it.
But this bangs actually directly issued a threat to the auspicious country. This is simply the loss of the child after being a mother for many years.
The Prime Minister, Earl Rosebery, was really angry about Liu Hai's threat. Liu Hai had disobeyed the Geely Kingdom several times, and now he is threatening the Geely State again. It seems that if this person is not eliminated, the Geely State's interests in the Far East will not be achieved.
Guaranteed.
So that day, the Prime Minister held a cabinet meeting to discuss how to deal with this crisis in the Far East.
At this meeting, Earl Rosebery frankly introduced Liu Hai's domineering attitude to all the cabinet members. At the same time, he clearly pointed out that Liu Hai was a factor of instability in the Far East and posed a threat to the Gili Kingdom even more than the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Next, Lord of the Admiralty George.
Lord Hamilton also expressed concerns about the expansion of Liu Hai's naval strength, "Liu Hai purchased four huge warships from somewhere. The tonnage of these four warships each reached 50,000 tons."
Having said this, the Minister of the Navy looked at the members present again, and then said in a sad tone: "In addition to the huge battleship and strong armor, this battleship is very fast. According to what happened last time in the South China Sea,
Soldiers and officers who escaped from the naval battle reported that the opponent's four warships had a row number of at least 25 knots. Their artillery should have reached more than 400 mm."
"At present, there is no first-class warship in the Geely Kingdom that can compete with it. If we encounter it on the sea, with the same number, we will only be ravaged by the other side."
After hearing this, the Prime Minister, Earl Rosebery, said to the cabinet ministers below: "Now they only have 4 warships, but I think as time goes by, their number will further increase. By then, we will probably
We have to give up the title of First Navy to the other party."
The words of the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Navy naturally gave these cabinet ministers a sense of crisis. The reason why the Geely Kingdom is able to control the political economy of the entire world relies entirely on the invincible fleet of the Geely State.
If the number one position in the navy is surpassed by others, then the countries that the Geely Kingdom has offended over the years will definitely attack together. At that time, the Geely Nation may have to huddle on the three Geely Islands like their ancestors.
Therefore, in the next voting stage, almost all cabinet members agreed to use force against Liu Hai to nip the threat of Liu Hai in the bud.
Now that we have decided to use military power to the Far East, we cannot just send a small number of warships like last time, and finally add military merit to Liu Hai.
After intense debate, this time the cabinet members present finally reached a consensus.
This time the British Empire will strike hard and try to wipe out Liu Hai's navy.
The British Admiralty decided this time to deploy a total of 25 ironclads and 12 battleships of various types from the Atlantic Fleet, Home Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet, in conjunction with light and heavy cruisers and supply ships, to form a fleet of more than 100 warships.
The huge fleet then passed through the East Canal to the Asan Kingdom, and then met the Asan Kingdom fleet, and finally passed through Malacca directly to the coast of the Qing Dynasty for a decisive battle with the Liu Hai Nanyang Navy.
In addition to these fleets at sea, there are 50,000 Royal Army soldiers who will follow the expeditionary force to the Far East. They are led by Lieutenant General Nehun Pass and will serve as a supplement to the navy of the expeditionary force.
After the government makes a decision, the prime minister immediately proposes a bill to the parliament.
Regarding the bill to send troops to the Qing Dynasty this time, the House of Representatives and the House of Lords quickly reached an agreement, and within a few days passed a resolution to eliminate Liu Hai's maritime forces.
After the parliament passed the resolution to send troops to Liu Hai, the navy immediately mobilized.
You must know that it is not a simple matter to launch a war involving 100 warships on the other side of Blue Star, thousands of miles apart.
In addition to the various food supplies and supplies, there is also the most important thing, which is the supply of artillery shells.
This time, more than a hundred warships were dispatched. Among these warships were eight cannons of various types, including small rapid-fire cannons, heavy cannons, and even front-loaded cannons.
These types alone are enough to give the government a headache. Not to mention, the total number of artillery guns in this fleet has exceeded 4,000. Think about it, how many artillery shells are needed for 4,000 artillery pieces to sustain a war? Therefore,
There are more than 60 transport ships serving this fleet.
The Gili government has never organized such a large-scale military expedition in the past century, so there is no way to keep this matter secret.
Soon the news that the Gili government was going to send troops to clear the country spread all over the world.
Although Liu Hai did not set up a spy agency in the Gili Kingdom, the Japanese had a station in the Gili Kingdom, and there were also personnel in the embassy who were responsible for intelligence collection.
Since they took refuge in Liu Hai, all these intelligence agencies around the world have now come under Liu Hai's command. The intelligence they collect will be summarized to Xiao Kun, who is responsible for intelligence collection under Liu Hai.
After Xiao Kun received the news that the Geely Kingdom had made preparations to mobilize and send troops to the Far East, he did not dare to delay at all, and immediately came to the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion to report to Liu Hai.
After Liu Hai got Xiao Kun's information, there wasn't much difference. You have to know that England is the most powerful country today. How can it stand being provoked by a little guy like himself?
Moreover, the four Iowa-class battleships are the most powerful in their name.
It can be said that these four Iowa-class battleships have no rivals in this world, but if they are faced with artillery fire and torpedo attacks from dozens of warships, they will probably be in trouble.
According to the intelligence, the Geely people may have had this idea in using so many warships this time.
