Chapter 1130 Panic
"In addition, we should appease other Western countries, including Frank, who must be terrified now. Google search reading" Just as she was about to let William and the other two go back, she was alone and quiet, and Aisley thought of another headache.
This expedition was initiated by Britain.
These Western countries that followed them not only did not gain any benefits in the East, but also suffered heavy losses. They must have many complaints about Britain, and even feel dissatisfied with Britain.
In this case, if it is not handled properly, it will cause the alliance initiated by Britain to fall apart.
"We will immediately send diplomatic officials to various countries." William bowed slightly. .
Next, he was afraid that he would have to spend a lot of time to quell the negative impact of the war in India.
For Britain itself, he also appeased the nobles and the people.
For the countries, he had to give them confidence.
After all, fear sometimes brings unity, and sometimes makes some cowards choose to betray.
"As for Duke Welling, please be sure to supervise the imitation of the breech-loading rifle. If we can successfully imitate a rifle with similar performance, we will have more say in the future competition with Dasong." Ashley instructed William and turned to the Field Marshal.
Then, she looked at Thompson again, "I need to know all the information about Dasong's new warships, and so do you. At the same time, call together technical personnel and use limited information to study the structural principles of this new warship."
With a long sigh, she lowered her eyelids, "The foundation of our British hegemony lies in maritime hegemony. Losing maritime hegemony is equivalent to losing everything. Therefore, we can lose anywhere, but we cannot lose in this aspect. Even if we give up everything, we must surpass Dasong in the navy."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Welling and Thompson bowed slightly.
Seeing Ashley waved, the three of them understood and left Waterham Palace.
Returning to their respective offices, the three of them immediately fell into busy affairs.
William immediately called the chairman of the newspaper committee.
This is the head of the British government agency responsible for managing newspapers.
"I think some people have more or less known the news of the Indian War. In order to prevent the public from panicking, I need you to release the news as I said." William said.
"Okay, Prime Minister." The person in charge took out a small notebook from his jacket pocket and prepared discipline.
The three private newspapers in Langton are all funded by Whig MPs.
It is precisely because of this that they used the influence of newspapers on the public to win the election battle with the Tory Party two years ago.
After that, they became more and more aware of the importance of newspapers.
Although this organization is inconspicuous, it can dominate public opinion and create an environment that is beneficial to itself.
Of course, the defeated Tories also realized this, so they also began to enter the newspaper industry.
It's just that they came too late, and the status of their three newspapers has become unshakable.
"Today is a sad day. We just got the news that the soldiers of the expedition had a fierce battle with the demons from the East in Tianzhu. Although our soldiers were brave and fearless, they still failed under such unfavorable circumstances because the entire East has become a den of demons."
"However, they also exchanged great sacrifices for great results. Now, the demons in the East have suffered heavy losses and can only shrink in the East to lick their wounds and can no longer continue to invade the West."
"But the demons will always heal their wounds one day. Now not only we British people should unite, but the entire West should unite. As long as we work together, we will definitely defeat the demons. Don't forget that this is a holy war. Minor setbacks should not discourage us. We must fight to the end until the moment of victory in the holy war!" William said his general idea in one breath, and then said, "Go back and let your people polish it."
The content he narrated was already trying to avoid failure, and more to arouse the anger of the people against Dasong.
In this way, the failure of this expedition did not seem so scary.
On the contrary, it would make the people more united.
While William was trying to save the impact of the failed expedition.
Franks across the British Channel also received the news that the coalition forces were annihilated.
Afterwards, this news jumped from one place to another like a flea.
Within two or three days, all the Western countries participating in the expedition basically learned about it.
Almost like Britain, the kings or prime ministers of these countries tried their best to weaken the failure, and instead deepened their hostility towards Dasong by stirring up national sentiment.
They knew very well that if they admitted that their policies were wrong, they would inevitably be questioned by the opposition.
And it would be more beneficial for them to portray themselves as heroes who resisted the enemy.
However, the bewitched people still clamored for war because they did not understand the true strength of Dasong, and the racial sentiment of white supremacy became more intense.
But the nobles who knew the truth knew it well and decided that they had to do something.
Some people proposed to send envoys to Dasong to secretly improve relations and resume trade with the East.
The failure of the naval battle made them realize that the ocean belonged to Dasong from then on.
Without the consent of the people of Dasong, we will no longer be able to go to the East for maritime trade, and even other trade routes will gradually be lost in the future.
Some people are unwilling to see the fall of the hegemony of the West, and demand the establishment of a more solid alliance with the West, mobilizing the people to fully confront Dasong.
However, despite their frequent actions, they were mostly filled with fear.
Just like prisoners waiting for the final judgment.
