The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

The crushing defeat of the British army in the Battle of Edirne not only shook the whole sunset, but also shocked the whole of Europe!

The sun never sets on the empire of this era, which is the hegemon of the world, and the most powerful country in the world!

It is really surprising that such a world hegemon would lose to the Slavic barbarians, whom the Europeans despise!

For a while, the whole of Europe was talking about it, and everyone was discussing:

The sun never sets, is it okay for the overlord of this world to do it?

If they can suffer such a big defeat in the hands of the hairy bear people today, will they lose to the Second Empire tomorrow, and defeat these rising stars to Eagle Sauce.

One day in the future, will it be reduced to a second-rate country like Italy?

As soon as I thought of this, the awe of the sun never setting in the hearts of all countries decreased a lot, and even some ambitious countries began to move after learning the news of the defeat of the people who never set.

Not to mention the views of other countries, the sun never sets is extremely dissatisfied with this defeat within themselves.

After learning of the defeat at the front, a number of riots broke out in the streets of the foggy capital city at once.

Many people ran outside the Palace of Westminster and scolded Parliament and the Prime Minister's Cabinet, demanding that Prime Minister Gladstone and the Secretary of State for War come out and take responsibility.123

Poor Gladstone, who was a long time old, was about to retire, and ended up with a bad night.

This group of angry people greeted all the women in the family and even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, which made Gladstone faint directly!

The members of the cabinet saw that the prime minister was stunned, and they rushed over to help.

Some wanted to feed him water, some helped to pinch people, and some tried to contact the carriage to take him out of the council and to a nearby hospital for treatment.

However, after being sent to the hospital, the doctors examined Gladstone and found nothing serious.

The doctor only speculated that he might have fainted because of his agitated emotions, which caused his blood pressure to rise, so he just had to recuperate quietly for a few days without being affected by the outside world.

Prime Minister Gladstone was so ill that the sun never set on the government suddenly became a little chaotic.

There was no way, and several cabinet ministers had to run to Buckingham Palace to ask Queen Victoria for instructions.

Queen Victoria sighed after hearing their report, the old prime minister has dedicated most of his life to the empire where the sun never sets, and he didn't expect to end up like this.

After this illness, even if he recovered, I am afraid that he would choose to resign (CGCG).

I have to think about the choice of the new prime minister!

Although the prime minister on which the sun never sets is nominally elected, the king must agree to take office after being elected, so the queen has a certain say in the selection of the prime minister.

Coupled with the fact that Queen Victoria has a high political status in the country where the sun never sets, her influence is far from being comparable to those kings of later generations.

However, in addition to considering the choice of prime minister, she must also solve the problem of the negative impact of the defeat on the front line and the sunset.

If this effect is not eliminated as soon as possible, not only will the domestic public continue to be dissatisfied, but the politics will be unstable.

Even abroad, the reverence for the sun never setting in countries may decline a lot.

The prestige established by the Empire, which defeated strong enemies through a series of wars, cannot be easily buried like this.

To solve the bad impact of defeat, the solution is actually very simple, the most direct and simple, is to win a battle!

Use victory to tell the world: the empire on which the sun never sets is still the empire on which the sun never sets, and the previous defeat was just an accident.

Once they get serious, there is not a single country in the world that is their opponent!

Thinking of this, the experienced Queen Victoria immediately summoned representatives of the military, including the Minister of the Army and the Navy, the Chief of Staff of the Army and the Navy, and others.

"Guys, I'm sure you've already guessed why I'm looking for you, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should be looking for us for the battle situation on the front line, right?"

The Minister of War asked respectfully.

"Very good, then can any of you tell me what is happening on the front line, and why our army is suddenly defeated?" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu novel network!)

Queen Victoria doesn't usually take care of things, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know anything.

Therefore, several high-ranking military officials did not dare to conceal anything, and they almost knew everything and said everything.

"Your Majesty, the Furry Bears were not a cause for concern, although they had a large army, they did not lack the courage to fight.

However, their equipment is worse than ours, and their tactical play is behind us, and we have a geographical advantage, so in the previous battles, the woolly bears have been helpless against us.

But things suddenly changed, and the furry bears somewhere got a batch of very powerful new weapons. []

This included a new rifle with a long range and a very powerful one, and about 200 new guns.

After they were equipped with these new weapons, their combat effectiveness suddenly increased by a large margin, and their artillery strike capability has undergone a qualitative change.

We were defenseless against this, and we still dealt with the woolly bear in the same way as before, and we suffered a big loss unexpectedly, which is why Edirne suffered a heavy defeat!"

Queen Victoria nodded slightly, which was basically the same as the information she had so far.

"So, have you figured out where they got this equipment?"

The industrial strength of the woolly bear is very weak, and among the major powers in Europe, the industrial strength of the hairy bear can be said to be at the bottom.

It is obviously impossible for a country with such a weak industrial base to walk in front of the industrial powers of Gaul and the Second Empire, and secretly develop such a powerful secret weapon.

So, Queen Victoria suspects that they were bought from other countries.

And at present, it seems that there are only three countries capable of producing such advanced weapons.

One is the Eagle sauce of North America, and the other two are Gaul and the Second Empire.

Queen Victoria herself was more suspicious of Eagle Sauce and the Second Empire, and she felt that Gaul was less suspicious.

Because Gaul had suffered a defeat not long ago, it had not yet recovered at this time, and was in the stage of declining national strength and declining morale.

At such a time, they would definitely not dare to offend the empire on which the sun never sets.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows where this equipment came from.

Queen Victoria snorted coldly, feeling that this group of people was really a rice bucket.

If you know that the defeat was caused by the emergence of these advanced weapons, why not find out the origin of these weapons?

"Check it out for me, and be sure to investigate it before the next battle!"

Queen Victoria issued a strict order for the military and intelligence services to jointly investigate this time.

Soon, they got accurate information about the origin of the woolly bears' weapons!

It was sold to the Woolly Bear by the Second Reich and included 100,000 rifles and 200 artillery pieces for a total value of £2,000,000!

This number is basically mild to the number they perceive from the battlefield, and after checking it through other channels, it can basically confirm that this is true!

"Second Reich!"

Knowing that it was the Second Empire that sold weapons to hairy bears, the military who never set the sun gritted their teeth with hatred.
