My British Empire
Chapter 532 Anger
ps: Thank you jjc1221 for your great support, thank you
Your Majesty hasn't heard the news yet, but the cabinet has already issued an opinion, demanding that we not let the Spaniards destroy a ship belonging to the United Kingdom at all costs, or we will bear the consequences!
The first mate looked at General James's livid face, and said cautiously, for fear that the General would get angry and lose his temper.
Hey—damn it, as the Minister of the Navy, I am only under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the King. When did I have anything to do with the cabinet? Besides, it is our navy's duty to maintain the safety of the kingdom, so there is no need for them to say anything!
Sure enough, upon hearing this, General James immediately slapped the ship's side hard with his right hand. After a loud noise, his eyes widened. As his palms turned red, harsh words rang out in the cabin.
Then, shall I reply? The first mate looked at James and asked tremblingly and cautiously.
No need, it's just a trivial matter! Who knows, James waved his right hand that was getting red and swollen, and said dismissively and calmly, as if nothing happened just now.
Seeing this, the first mate showed a constipated expression on his face, his face flushed slightly, it could be seen that he was suffering from suffocation.
At this time, the Palace of Westminster, the huge palace that served as the parliament building and the cabinet, was dedicated to the king's office. After a long period of emptiness, it finally waited for its owner again.
It's just that its owner is in a bad mood.
Damn Spaniards, damn God... Edward was so angry that his face turned pale, and he no longer had any scruples in his heart. He walked back and forth three steps to the left and three steps to the right, and then cursed loudly, who cares about him? Whether it's God or the Spaniards, it's fine to be scolded anyway.
As the king of the United Kingdom, Edward has never lost his composure, nor been so angry and humiliated since he single-handedly laid the foundation of the kingdom.
From the moment he traveled through time, Edward felt that he was superior to others, and his dignity was inviolable, and no one dared to violate it.
At this time, the Spaniards only gathered a group of armed transport ships, and they were able to directly break through the blockade of the United Navy and come directly to the Thames Estuary, greatly showing their presence.
As we all know, the distance between London and the mouth of the sea is only a few hundred miles. If you go upstream, you can directly invade London, which is equivalent to showing off your power at your own doorstep.
This is a provocation, a great provocation, not only to the United Kingdom, but also to his dignity as a king.
James Leo Shesley, as the Minister of the Kingdom's Navy, he can't even do such a trivial matter. What use is it for me to have such a Minister of the Navy? Huh?
Looking at His Majesty the King who was out of breath, his chest was constantly bouncing up and down because of his shortness of breath, while His Excellency the Prime Minister beside him showed a little anxiety on his face, but his eyes were extremely calm.
Obviously, he didn't take this violation as a big deal.
Your Majesty, for now, it is better to figure out the plan of the Spaniards, so that we can make a plan.
Thomas Mane, as the Prime Minister, had always had a good wink. When he found that His Majesty's anger had almost subsided, he spoke out without haste and expressed his plan.
Come here, fly a pigeon to send a letter immediately, and ask, our respected Minister of the Navy, what is the specific situation! The secretary standing by the side immediately agreed, and then chose to leave in small steps.
After saying a few words in a sinister and positive tone, His Majesty the King recovered.
He tidied up his clothes first, then looked in the mirror, looked at his handsome face, and after calming down, he sat up and half lay down.
Over there at sea, do you have any suggestions? Edward shook his head, looked at the motionless prime minister, and asked softly.
Your Majesty, at present, it is most appropriate to respond to all changes without change! After thinking for a moment, the prime minister said softly:
Although the Spaniards only gathered some colonial ships, the scale is still so huge, not much smaller than our navy. At this moment, the Royal Navy still has to face a lot of pressure!
Although the facts are somewhat cruel, His Excellency the Prime Minister can still only speak of this fact, this unspeakable truth.
So, we can only monitor the Spaniard's actions at this time, and we can't have any hasty actions! The time is not yet ripe!
Hearing these words, Edward's heart suddenly calmed down.
These are nothing more than Spain mobilizing some transport ships to North America. Its real main force is still dealing with the huge Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean.
Act now, no intention of courting death.
Edward's heart was as cold as being poured by cold water.
Go, Flying Pigeon, tell General James to pay attention and keep an eye on the Spaniards!
After some careful thinking in his heart, Edward sighed heavily, sat on the chair, his hands drooped weakly, his eyes closed, and said in a low voice.
If the Spaniards dare to launch an attack, they can counterattack directly and defeat them in one fell swoop! Finally, Edward added in a deep voice.
After receiving His Majesty's reply, James quickly sent someone to keep an eye on the Spaniards and followed their fleet step by step. After following them hundreds of miles away from the coast in humiliation, they gradually returned.
The Spaniard's move this time shocked the entire United Kingdom unparalleled.
Starting today, the Cabinet will budget specifically for the start-up funding of the Naval Growth and Construction Program.
Among them, the tasks are: within three years, establish five docks that can produce more than 1,000 tons of ships; train and train at least 10,000 reserve seamen; the total tonnage of naval ships reaches two-thirds of Spain; The ship design and transformation of the Royal Navy will allow the Royal Navy to gain an advantage...
At the first emergency enlarged meeting of the United Kingdom, facing more than 30 senior officials from the four major regions, as well as important officials from the central government, the judiciary, and the military, Edward also did not show a good face, and announced loudly with a livid face.
The officials sitting below can feel the anger from the heart of His Majesty the King. Even if they are already the top politicians in the kingdom, bowing their heads is still their best choice at this time.
Also, a large number of privateer licenses will be issued, just pay attention! Walking calmly, His Majesty the King had a gloomy face and a chilling smile on his face.
In other words, the Spaniard is no longer on the list of restraint!
Increase funding to the Netherlands and encourage them to take advantage of their current advantages and eat up the more than 10,000 Spanish troops trapped in the Brussels area!
Send someone to contact the Portuguese to discuss the appropriateness of the cooperation between the two navies!
Send someone to the Ottoman Empire, submit the letter of credentials, and re-discuss the cooperative relationship between the two countries...
Edward made many tricks in succession, spared no expense, in order to speed up the fall of the Spanish Empire and push it forward.
Spanish, you forced me first! Edward narrowed his eyes and said grimly.
If I don't kill you, am I going through time for nothing?
