Paris, France, the Elysee Palace.!*!, standing in front of the window. It was already midsummer outside, with lush grass and green trees, and it looked very lively. However, it was as gloomy as water. The atmosphere in the entire office was almost frozen.

Originally, after the landing of the United States, the French army could easily defeat the US army, capture Washington, and then force the United States to surrender and ced the more than 1.3 million square kilometers of land in the northeast and Great Lakes to France. But now it seems that everything is what he thinks is too optimistic. Although the French army achieved a series of major victories in the early stage, the French army is now in trouble.

"His Excellency the President, Earl of Vayan, has sent a telegram. He needs more reinforcements. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to achieve the expected combat goals!" said the Minister of War Duke Isley.

"We still need reinforcements? France has invested far more troops in North America than the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain. Why can't we win yet, but our allies have won?"

France has invested 360,000 troops into North America, but now there are only more than 300,000 left. The Chinese Empire has invested less than 200,000 troops from beginning to end. Now, the Chinese Empire has swept across the western part of North America and occupied almost half of the United States. The Spanish Kingdom is the same, and the troops they invested only 200,000. However, the Spanish Kingdom's army has achieved the predetermined goal, and several states in the southern United States are already under the control of the Spanish Kingdom. In contrast, the French army is still in a fierce battle.

The Duke of Isley looked embarrassed. The reason why this result was that the French army would not fall to the point where they were dealt with by the US military with all their might. So now, they are in a dilemma.

"His Excellency President, Earl Vayan is now facing millions of US troops. The gap in our forces is too big. In addition, there are many American civilians who are also attacking our logistics supply line. It can be said that Earl Vayan is surrounded by enemies. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to launch an attack on the US military. If we do not continue to increase troops to North America, it will be difficult for us to win!" Duke Isley continued.

"Bastard!" He originally expected a brilliant victory. In this way, his prestige in France could rise to another level. Then he could take the opportunity to become emperor and build a powerful empire like his uncle Napoleon. But now, the battle situation cannot be won, which makes his ambitions impossible to achieve. He is very angry.

"Your Excellency the President, it is obvious that France has been betrayed by our allies. Whether it is the Chinese Empire or the Spanish Kingdom, they still have the strength to attack the Americans. However, they have all stopped attacking the US military at the same time, which allows the Americans to concentrate their strength to attack us. Otherwise, we would not face the attack of millions of US troops alone!" said Count Valevsky, the French Foreign Minister.

Speaking of this, the situation in North America has now become that France is fighting against the United States alone, while the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain have expanded vigorously while the French army was dragging the main force of the US military.

"Damn Chinese and Spanish! They are so despicable and shameless!" In fact, he seemed to have forgotten that in his previous plan, did he wait until the Chinese Empire dragged the main force of the US military on the west coast before launching a landing battle against the United States? And he was also prepared to force the United States to surrender and let the United States fight with all its might against the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain, so that France could reap profits. However, the current development of the war situation is not as good as he expected.

"Shar, now we should find a way to let our allies continue to launch attacks, otherwise, if the battle continues, it will be even more unfavorable to us!"

, and then said: "Earl Vallvsky, contact our allies and let them continue to fulfill their ally's obligations! Otherwise, we will not win this battle easily."

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Earl Valevsky nodded.

"So, Your Excellency the President, are we going to send more reinforcements to North America?" asked the Duke of Isley.

"Let's find a way to send another 100,000 troops to North America!" France's standing army was only 500,000. After more than 300,000 troops were transferred to North America, there were not many local troops in France. In addition, facing the strongly rising Kingdom of Prussia, France also needed to retain enough troops in its own country.

France undoubtedly opposed the rise of the Kingdom of Prussia. A unified German empire posed a great threat to France. Therefore, France secretly controlled the four states in southern Germany and prevented the unification of Germany. However, as the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia continued to expand, in order to compete for the states in southern Germany, a war would definitely break out between the Kingdom of Prussia and France in the future. France must be prepared for this war!

"Yes, your Majesty!" replied the Minister of War, Duke Isley.

The world overlord, the British Empire, has been constantly restoring its military strength in the past two years. It has not directly participated in the wars that broke out around the world. Such a neutral attitude has made the British Empire make a fortune in the war, and its military strength has also been restored a lot. However, the British Empire cannot be neutral forever, otherwise their influence in the world will become weaker and weaker, and will eventually be replaced by other major powers.

In June 1848, the US ambassador to the United Kingdom secretly met with the British Foreign Secretary Earl Glenville, proposing that he hoped that Britain could mediate the war. Earl Glenville immediately reported to Prime Minister Earl Stanley.

"Prime Minister, the Americans will not be able to hold on. According to the information we have obtained, although the French offensive has been blocked, they are cracking it. The French plan to send reinforcements to North America again, and at the same time demand that the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain continue to attack the US. Once the three countries unite to launch an attack, the Americans will not be able to withstand it at all. Therefore, we cannot sit idly by!" Earl Granville said. With the strength of the United States, after resisting the three countries of China, France and the Western countries for more than half a year, they are exhausted. If they continue to fight, the United States will undoubtedly lose. Without the United States to restrain the three countries of China, France and Spain, Britain will be even more unfavorable.

Earl Stanley nodded: "It is indeed time for the British Empire to make our voice."

Then, if Britain wants to interfere in this war, it will be impossible to achieve a result by relying solely on diplomatic efforts. When necessary, Britain must show strong military strength.

"Gentlemen, the Americans ask us to mediate this war. From the interests of the British Empire, we cannot sit idly by and watch the United States be destroyed. Therefore, we need to protect the United States and let the United States continue to exist. Therefore, I am ready to mediate this war. Do you have any objections to this?" said Earl Stanley.

"Prime Minister, will the Chinese, French and Western countries accept our mediation? Especially the Chinese Empire, they have always been incompatible with us." said Marquis Angelsey, the Minister of Army. Although the British Empire still holds the title of world hegemony, they are all very clear that from the perspective of strength, there is no gap between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire. Even from the perspective of military strength, the Chinese Empire still has a vague advantage. Therefore, the Chinese Empire is very likely not to accept the mediation of the British Empire.

"Marquis, we do not have to accept mediation from the Chinese Empire. As long as France and the Spanish Kingdom are willing to negotiate, the Chinese Empire will be alone. Otherwise, once France and the Spanish Kingdom withdraw from the war, they will have to face the attack of the Americans alone." said Earl of Foreign Minister Glenville.

"But, the French and the Spanish, will they compromise?"

"It depends on our means. Sir Adam, can the Navy put pressure on the Kingdom of France and Spain?" asked Count Granville.

"Her Earl, the Royal Navy of the British Empire has been silent for a long time. Now, it is time for the whole world to know that the Royal Navy of the British Empire is still the overlord of the sea!"

Now, the strength of the British Navy has been fully restored. In the past few months, some powerful warships have been put into service. The first and second ships of the British Navy's "Nelson-class" warships have also been put into service, and the subsequent warships will also be put into service in the next few months. This will bring the strength of the Royal Navy of the British Empire to the top again.

"Very good, that's what it means! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted the envoys of the Chinese and French countries to Britain and showed them the attitude of the British Empire. If they do not accept the good intentions of the British Empire, the navy can conduct a large-scale exercise to let them see the determination of the British Empire!" Earl Stanley finally made the decision! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster! u
