London.

On Monday, Murphy came to tulip palace early to wait for Queen Victoria. Today, his face is a little pale. Even the maid of tulip palace can see the deep worry in his eyes.

After a while, the door of the Queen's bedroom slowly opened, and Victoria appeared in front of Murphy as brightly as ever.

But now Murphy was not in the mood of appreciation. He quickly walked up to Victoria and whispered a word.

Hearing this, Victoria's face was pale, and there was no blood on her white face.

"Your Majesty, the Conservatives are attacking our foreign policy through the failure of the United Fleet. Their voice is supported by many centrists. This time we are in trouble." Murphy said with great concern.

At present, the liberal party only has a slight advantage over the Conservative Party in the house of Commons. This failure is enough to turn the Conservative Party over. In this case, the rights of the queen who lost the ruling of the Liberal Party will be restricted by the conservative party, which is the last thing Victoria wants to see.

"It's incredible how the United Fleet lost so badly." As she spoke, vidomia went out with Murphy.

On the carriage, she and Murphy soon came to the house, by this time members have been full of the house, it is obvious that this failure has a great impact.

Because they have never suffered such a terrible failure in decades.

"Your Majesty, just three hours ago, two nearly broken warships arrived in London. One thing is certain that these two warships belong to the East India Company. The poor soldiers on the warships tell us about their failure in Dayu. Just as we opposed this plan at the beginning, we have lost most of our naval power in Asia At the same time, we have provoked a powerful enemy

As soon as Victoria sat down, she suddenly stood up from the conservative seat. A white haired, thin, grey waistcoat MP was Nick Timothy, the leader of the conservative party.

When Victoria came in, her eyes were focused on a group of navy soldiers in the middle of the house. They were ragged and skinny. We can imagine how much suffering they suffered when they returned to Britain from Dayu.

"Count Nick, first of all, I feel very sad for the experience of these naval soldiers, but I don't think there was any mistake in the original decision. All I did was for the interests of the British Empire. Only by destroying the soldiers of the great Yu state, we can have more time to realize the technologies we have obtained. As you said, the great Yu state is a powerful enemy, and now it is a big country He is only in Asia. One day, they will reach North America, South America, Africa and even Europe, and it will be too late for us to control him. "Vidomia's eyes were firmly fixed on Nick and did not give in.

"Shh..."

Victoria's voice fell, and there was a hiss on the conservative seat. After the bill of rights was passed, the queen actually ruled over Britain, and the real right fell to the house of Commons.

Only by skillfully using her influence and cooperating with the liberal prime minister, did Victoria further expand her influence, as if she once again had the right to rule Britain.

In fact, in Nick's view, it's just that the liberal party takes advantage of the Queen's influence while the queen takes advantage of the Liberal Party's rights. In fact, they are not afraid of the queen.

"Your Majesty, look at these poor soldiers. These two warships originally had more than 1000 soldiers. After returning to England, there were only more than 100 people left. Most of them starved to death at sea or died of illness. This is the price paid for fighting in the Far East, and the most important thing is that your decision did not protect the interests of Britain. Next, I'll tell you What we may have to face is the Revenge of the state of Dayu. " Nick said calmly: "India, Australia, this is our important colony, they are likely to be lost."

Victoria covered her forehead with a headache. She had never suffered such a setback since her accession to the throne. Just as she was about to say something, a man stood up. It was her uncle, Duke Paston.

He stopped Victoria from arguing. Instead, he said, "Your Majesty, now we have to improve our relations with Dayu to avoid losing more. Otherwise, the Liberal Party will lose the support of many aristocrats who have a lot of interests in India. You don't want to see the Liberal Party ousted, do you? "

" yes, your majesty, it is very unwise to continue to start a war, especially in such a remote place, since the joint fleet has failed, we must change our strategy. " Murphy echoed.

Vidomia has been flustered since she got the news. In the face of Nick's doubt, she is just defending her mistake.

Now when perston and Murphy say this, she suddenly realizes that if they continue to fight against Nick, they will be more passive. Only by appeasing the nobles can they have room to turn around. But now she must put forward effective suggestions to show that she, the queen, can lead Britain out of the predicament.

After calming down for a moment, she stood up and said: "I feel very sorry for the failure of the United Fleet, but it also makes us see clearly the real strength of Dayu, which avoids our further miscalculation. Therefore, through this incident, we should adjust our relationship with Dayu, and now we should send a mission to Dayu to ease the relationship. "After a pause, she continued: "at the same time, we need to invest more manpower and financial resources to speed up the research of new technologies, so that we can defeat the army of Dayu in the next war, and we also need to support the enemy of Dayu. I suggest that we sell steam engine technology to Russia and help Russia popularize steam engine factories. They will effectively contain the army of Dayu. "

Victoria's words fell behind, and the Conservative Party members did not boo any more. They were just dissatisfied with the Queen's sophistry. In fact, in the case of Britain's defeat, they also hope Victoria can come up with effective countermeasures.

Seeing that her speech had achieved good results, Victoria continued: "sometimes ideas are more effective than weapons. Dayu is still a state of imperial power, and we are moving from imperial power to popular election. It is easier for an empire to collapse from the inside than to destroy it from the outside. Mr. Cao Kun knows this better than us. "

as Victoria spoke, she looked at the two seats in the corner of the Liberal Party. Cao Kun and Cao Zhengtong were sitting on them.
