The Marquis of Army Minister Anglesey finally showed a smile on his face. The one million military expansion plan was passed, which gave the British Army more sufficient troops to invest in the battlefield. ~ Although it takes time to form and train new recruits. At least the troops left behind in the country can be sent out. In Belgium, there are as many as 400,000 British Army in the battlefield. The French Army has as many as 600,000. After a fierce war, the defense line built by Belgium on the southern border has been broken. The current battle is mainly concentrated near the capital Brussels.

The British Army has already invested as many as 300,000 troops in Spain. With the continuous increase in troops by the Chinese Empire, the British Army plans to invest 200,000 troops in Spain again within one month. The French Army will also invest as many troops. In this way, even if the second army of the Chinese Army arrives, the British and French will still be able to gain an advantage in Spain.

After deducting these troops, there are still 600,000 people in the British Army. If you defend the local area, you only need to leave 200,000. The remaining 400,000 can be sent to the European battlefield. In this way, whether in the Spanish battlefield or in the Belgian battlefield, they can have a decisive advantage in the battle situation. If you are lucky, you can reverse the situation in one fell swoop and establish victory in the European battlefield.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, it is naturally excellent to be able to expand one million troops. In this way, we will not have the problem of insufficient troops in the army!" said Marquis Anglesey.

Earl Stanley nodded: "But you also need to know. Now, the British Empire has fulfilled its power. The Indian battlefield has fallen. The only opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory is on the European battlefield. If we can win on the European battlefield, then the chances of winning this war are still unknown. If the European battlefield cannot achieve the predetermined purpose, then everyone must make the worst plan!"

Earl Stanley's words undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call to everyone. The enemy is too powerful, and Britain has almost fought to win. Now Britain is like a gambler who is eyeing to lose, suppressing all his capital. If he loses, he will lose completely. To be honest, the British Empire will completely collapse.

"How are Sir Charles Adam? When can we launch a counterattack against the Chinese Navy?" asked Count Stanley. He had received great confidence in the British Navy. Otherwise, he would not have resisted the pressure when the army expanded its troops wildly. Not only did it not reduce the navy's resource investment, but it also increased its investment.

"Prime Minister, there is still half a month left for the new class of the Imperial Navy's 'Admiral-class' warships. At that time, the Royal Navy will launch a decisive battle against the Chinese Navy!" Sir Charles Adam said. However, he has no confidence in whether he can win. After all, even after adding four "Admiral-class" warships, the British Navy's main battleships will only have 12. The 1st and 5th Fleets of the Chinese Navy have appeared in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Together, the two fleets have as many as 16 battleships. The British Navy is still at a disadvantage.

If it can be delayed for another year, the next four "Nile-class" battleships will be in service, and the chances of victory may be greater. Of course, the new Chinese Navy warships will definitely be in service by then. In order to cope with the pressure of the Chinese Navy, most of the four "Admiral-class" battleships and four "Nile-class" battleships added by the British Navy have been completed. It is expected that in more than a year, these eight battleships will be able to be in service. However, Sir Charles Adam also knew that the Chinese Empire would definitely not give them this time.

"Very good. Sir Charles Adam, the victory of the Empire, is counting on the Navy!" said Count Stanley.

If the British Navy can win, then there may be a chance of winning in this battle. If the British Navy cannot win, then the final effect will probably be imagined.

"His Excellency, according to the plan, we need to launch a counterattack in the Kingdom of Belgium and Spain. The operations in Belgium are aimed at occupying Brussels and destroying the Kingdom of Belgium. The operations in Spain are aimed at defeating the Chinese Army and the Spanish Army and completely occupying the advantage of the Iberian Peninsula. The Army Department plans to invest 200,000 combat troops into Belgium again." said Marquis Angelsey, Minister of the Army.

"Well, in addition to doing our best, we must also let the French do our best! The British Empire has begun extreme mobilization, and the French cannot fall behind!" Earl Stanley reminded.

So far, although the French have completed the initial mobilization of 1.5 million people. However, with the potential of France's 35 million people, if it is extremely mobilized, it is completely fine to mobilize another 2 million people. If two million French troops join, it may be able to completely lay the victory on the European battlefield.

The other allies are almost unreliable now. For example, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although it had a population of 40 million, and had promised to mobilize as many as 2 million troops. However, they were not opponents of the Prussians on the battlefield. In the battle in southern Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Army was defeated by the Prussian Army and lost more than 300,000 people. The remaining troops have been surrendered to the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the entire southern Germany has fallen into the hands of the Prussian Kingdom.

Another powerful country, Russia, lost millions of troops on the Siberian Plain and hundreds of thousands of people along the Black Sea coast. Although it has begun to expand its troops wildly, Russia's main forces will undoubtedly devote themselves to the war against China and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the support they can provide Europe with very limited support.

As for the Kingdom of Sardinia, which cost a huge price to win over, it now seems to be a waste. The navy of the Chinese Empire destroyed all the cities along the coast of the Kingdom of Italy, which made Vittorio Emanuele II, who had just announced that he would become the king of the Kingdom of Italy, so scared that he did not dare to send troops to participate in the war. Instead, he held all his troops in the coastal areas of the Kingdom of Italy, for fear that the Empire of China would land in Italy. Now it seems that it was a mistake to win over the Kingdom of Sardinia!

Judging from these factors, the only ones who can undertake the counterattack task are probably Britain and France. The current crisis has made Britain and France unable to do anything, and they can only devote all their national strength to the war.

"Prime Minister, I will contact France. Napoleon III is not a fool. He should know that if he loses the war, it will not be beneficial to France!" said the Earl of Foreign Minister Glenville.

"Gentlemen, whether the British Empire can win the victory of the war is here. I hope everyone can unite and help the empire win the victory of the war as much as possible!" Earl Stanley said solemnly.

"The British Empire will win!" Despite the difficulties, everyone was still full of confidence in the right direction.

Paris, France, the streets of Paris are no longer so lively due to war. Unless the army wins on the front line, the people will spontaneously continue to celebrate. At that time, Paris will look like a little metropolis.

"Your Majesty, the UK requires us to mobilize more troops as soon as possible to carry out large-scale counterattacks on the Belgian battlefield and the Spanish battlefield. We need to lay the victory on the European battlefield as soon as possible!" said Count Valevsky, the French Foreign Minister.

Napoleon III nodded: "It seems that the fall of India has made the British unable to support it. If the war is delayed, once the Chinese free up their hands, it will not be easy for us to win the war!"

Napoleon III was not a fool. Although he was not good at military command, France still had many excellent generals. Although they were gray-haired, they still had rich experience since the First Empire of France.

"Yes, your majesty! Since the British have begun to mobilize at the extreme, then France cannot fall behind. If we can win the battlefields of Belgium and Spain, we can unite to launch a fatal attack on the Kingdom of Prussia. At that time, the entire Europe will be controlled by us. We can also unite the strength of the entire Europe to confront the Chinese Empire." said the Secretary of the Army A.J. San Erno.

"Well! Although the Belgians once again suffered great damage to us on the battlefield some time ago, their own casualties are quite large. As long as the British and French forces add some force, it should be no problem to capture Brussels and destroy the Belgian Kingdom! As for the Spanish Kingdom, it would be a big problem for the Chinese to send reinforcements to the Spanish Kingdom by sea!" Napoleon III said with a frown. Previously, the 15th Army of the Imperial Empire raided northeastern Spain, directly causing France to lose 200,000 people, which made Napoleon III feel scared.

"Your Majesty, if we can start the extreme mobilization, then we will have an overwhelming advantage. At that time, no matter how powerful the Chinese are, it will be impossible to defeat us!" said a.j. San Erno.

"Okay, then start the extreme mobilization! In addition, since the British launched a large-scale counterattack, France cannot fall behind. Send more troops to the Belgian battlefield and the Spanish battlefield!" Napoleon III made up his mind. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
