"Your Majesty, we have already gathered 400,000 troops on the border with Belgium. In the future, more troops will be added. If the British Army also joins in, then the command of these troops will be in chaos. Therefore, I suggest that we can form a coalition to better command the troops!" said French Army Secretary A.J. San Arno.

"Well, this is a good idea. Earl Vallvsky, after Earl Glenville arrives, you can hold negotiations with the British side on this matter!" said Napoleon III.

"Yes, your majesty!" Earl Valevsky, the Foreign Minister, nodded.

"Your Majesty, after forming a coalition, the commander of the coalition must be our French!" a.j. San Arno added.

"Of course, the European continent is our home court. Unless the British dispatched army can surpass us, we must control the command!" said Napoleon III.

"Let the front-line troops be ready. This time, it will be a big war! After all, although there are conflicts between us and the British, we are guarding against each other. However, our interests are consistent. In the future war, we must win. Otherwise, we will lose all the best! Winning the war is the most important thing for us!" said Napoleon III.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone nodded repeatedly.

British Foreign Secretary Earl Granville arrived in Paris in a hurry. Although it was still morning, Count Granville did not care about going to the embassy to rest, but went directly to the French Foreign Ministry. He and French Foreign Minister Earl Valevsky will hold a meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to resolve the current conflicts between Britain and France and work together to win the war. After all, if they continue to blame each other, they may lose the war.

"His Excellency Earl Glenville, thank you all the way, welcome you to Paris!" Earl Vallvsky greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, Count Valevsky." Earl Glenville also smiled. However, he began to curse in his heart. If the French hadn't deliberately dragged back and did not cooperate, how could he have come so quickly?

"Please sit down! Earl of Granville, do you need a cup of tea or coffee?" Earl Vallvsky asked.

"It's better to have coffee!" said Count Granville. At present, all the tea consumed in Europe needs to be imported into Asia. However, after the war began, trade exchanges between the East and the West had been completely cut off. There is no possibility of imported tea.

"Okay!" Earl Valevsky nodded.

After the secretary gave the coffee, he retreated. In the office, there were only Earls Valevsky and Earl Glenville.

"His Count Valliveski, I'm afraid you know the current situation. The Kingdom of Dutch has perished, and the other two small countries, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of Greece, especially the Kingdom of Greece, are also very tense. If we do not take measures, the future situation will be even more unfavorable to us. Therefore, the British government believes that now we should abandon our differences and unite and strive to win this war!" Earl of Granville said sincerely. Now, Britain cannot do this. If it continues, France will not have any good results, but Britain will definitely not have a good ending.

"His Count Glenville, this is exactly the will of the French government. Our interests are consistent in this war. We also hope to be the winner of this war. For this reason, we are willing to fight side by side with Britain." Earl Valevski also said. There must be a degree of mutual destruction. Now, the situation is becoming more and more threatening, and if it continues, it will be very unfavorable to everyone. Therefore, we cannot continue to destruction now.

"This is really great!" Earl of Granville laughed. The attitude of the French government made him very satisfied. At least this trip was not in vain.

"His Excellency Vallvsky, the British government believes that we should join forces to attack the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia in order to gain the advantage of the European continent. For this reason, the British Army will land in northern France in the near future." Earl of Granville said.

"I wonder how much army the British side will invest in attacking the Kingdom of Belgium?" asked Count Valevsky.

"We have prepared a hundred thousand troops, and if the French side wants, they will set off immediately." Earl of Granville said.

"There are too few hundred thousand people. France has prepared 400,000 troops for this purpose. And with our mobilization, more and more troops will be put into combat. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Belgium, we have to attack the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, France hopes that Britain will invest more troops!" said Count Valliveski.

Earl of Granville hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to send 200,000 British troops to land in northern France and attack the Kingdom of Belgium with the French army. If the Kingdom of Belgium can be destroyed as soon as possible and invade the Kingdom of Prussia, then Britain will invest more troops.

At this time, Count Valevsky also threw out the proposal to establish the British and French coalition forces and unified command.

"His Excellency Earl of Granville, the French government believes that when our hundreds of thousands of troops work together to fight, we must have a unified command organization, so that the command of the troops can be facilitated. Therefore, our country proposes to form an English-French coalition force to unite to fight against the enemy!" said Count Valliveski.

"Anti-French Allied Forces? So, who will be the commander of the Allied Forces?" Earl of Granville asked with a frown.

"His Earl, the Earl of Vayan of our country, has experienced many battles and participated in the war against North America. He is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate to serve as the commander of the coalition forces. In addition, General François of our country can be competent for the position of Chief of Staff of the coalition forces!" Earl of Valevski said with a smile.

Earl of Granville's face suddenly became a little ugly. The French wanted to eat up the commander and chief of staff of the coalition forces, leaving only the position of deputy commander for Britain! These Frenchmen actually wanted to command the British army to fight, which was simply too arrogant. However, although Earl of Granville was very angry, he knew that now was not the time to break up. This would be very unfavorable for both Britain and France.

"His Excellency Valliveski, we had never expected this issue before. However, I will report it to the country immediately!" said Earl Glenville.

"Of course, Lord Granville. However, if the coalition forces could complete the formation one day earlier, then we would be able to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Belgium one day earlier!" Earl Vallvsky said with a smile. Although his face was full of smiles, the threat in his words was undoubtedly very obvious. Earl Granville was not a fool, so he could naturally hear it.

"Okay, Earl Vallvsky, we will give you an answer as soon as possible!" Earl Glenville said.

Subsequently, Earl of Granville used the embassy's radio station to contact London and reported the French conditions to the British cabinet.

The British cabinet was very dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by France. The French not only required that Britain need to invest at least 200,000 troops, but also the command of the coalition forces. This is obviously to take advantage of the situation! Of course, there are not many choices in front of Britain now, and if it is dragged on, it will be very unfavorable to Britain.

After discussion, the British cabinet fully accepted the conditions proposed by France. The 200,000 British Army will set off for France immediately and will all arrive in France within a week at the latest. In addition, British Army General John Foster will serve as deputy commander of the coalition forces.

The British and French Allied Forces Command was formed in the shortest time and began to officially fulfill its responsibilities. The British and French Allied Forces are currently composed of 400,000 French Army and 200,000 British Army, divided into 12 armies. These troops will be used to attack the Kingdom of Belgium. They will strive to destroy the Kingdom of Belgium as soon as possible. After that, the British and French Allied Forces will launch a large-scale attack on the Kingdom of Prussia and attack the Kingdom of Prussia together with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of Prussia can be destroyed, then the North Atlantic Military Alliance will be able to win the European battlefield.

While Britain and France formed a coalition, the two countries were also actively contacting the Austro-Hungarian Empire and demanding that the Austro-Hungarian Empire cooperate with them. After all, before the British and French coalition defeated the Kingdom of Belgium, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would become the main force in the fight against the Kingdom of Prussia. Originally, Russia would also send troops to attack the Kingdom of Prussia. However, Russia repeatedly lost on the Western Siberian Plain, and the offensive of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the south was also very fierce, forcing Russia to dispatch troops originally used in the West to the Eastern and Southern Fronts. This made Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire's plan to attack the Kingdom of Prussia temporarily shelved.

On August 27, 1854, the British and French coalition forces dispatched a total of eight infantry troops, with more than 400,000 troops, and launched an attack on the Belgian Kingdom on a two hundred kilometers long defense line. However, in the face of the Belgian Kingdom's painstaking efforts to build a defense line, it seemed powerless. The bunkers poured with steel and cement, dense trenches and barbed wire, as well as heavy machine guns and mortars set up, the British and French coalition forces broke their heads and bleeded on the Belgian Army's defense line.

At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Prussian Army also launched a fierce battle in several states in southern Germany.
