Benjamin smiled bitterly, and he heard a hint of regret from the Queen's words, and this tone of the Queen had never revealed it to the Earl of Derby.

Has the Queen disappointed in everything she did? Benjamin's mind was turning at high speed and began to recall various information and data.

He smiled and said, "Her Majesty, through our intelligence system analysis, France's winning rate in this war is still quite high. The current advantage of Prussia is nothing more than the active military force. One million troops available for use are really shocking..."

"But France is not a sheep. Currently, it is 600,000 permanent army. It seems that the number of people is not superior. However, France has a large population and reserves are very impressive to mobilize. Once the enemy is shared by the enemy, even two million army can be pulled out..."

"There are also colonies, national economy, war funds..."

Benjamin explained to the Queen in detail the gap in national strength between France and Prussia. If it were an ordinary politician on the other side, he would have been impressed by his rude eloquence.

Unfortunately, in front of the Prime Minister was the famous European grandmother Queen Victoria. She was the hero who led Britain to defeat the Qing Dynasty. She was not so easy to fool.

Benjamin did not see the regret in the queen's eyes at all, and still explained his judgment on the war. In his analysis, Prussia would definitely fail. Then the same Prussian ally Chinese became an emerging regime without a backer, and Britain could easily strangle it.

The queen's elegant temperament perfectly interprets what patience means. Time passed by little by little. It was not until Benjamin finished his analysis that the queen nodded and smiled.

"The Constitution gives the Prime Minister the power to the government, including the power to propose wars. If you think it is feasible, go to the House to win a vote of approval..."

Benjamin was stunned at the time and thought that this was not my purpose today? Didn’t I come here just to let the Queen help me exert influence on the parliament? Why is Your Majesty unwilling to care about this?

Britain is an absolute constitutional monarchy and a country with a false monarchy. The royal family has reputation and influence on the people, and the royal family does not have the power to interfere in governance.

For example, the power to initiate a war is an important matter that determines the lifeline of the country. The queen has no right to decide, and the prime minister actually does not. To initiate a war, you must get the support of a majority vote of the Congress.

When Britain declared war on the Qing Dynasty, most members of the parliament opposed it because at that time few people thought that Britain could defeat the huge Qing Empire, and they believed that this war was a risk.

In the end, the queen exerted influence with her reputation and personally persuaded several key figures, but in that way, the votes that agreed to declare war on the Qing Dynasty were only 9 more than those who opposed it.

History is full of drama, and the final result of the war shocked the whole of Britain. I thought the war would be very cruel, and it would win miserably or draw, but it would be a crazy victory.

Since then, the British Parliament has voted more to support the proposal of war.

In Benjamin's plan, there shouldn't be too many parliamentarians oppose this war against the Chinese. He even planned to take action first and then report, so that the local governors in India and East Asia would gather a fleet to teach Xiao Letian a tragic lesson.

As long as the end is a victory, even if Congress protests or even impeaches, it will not be of any effect.

However, the development of things gradually became strange. Benjamin received many opposition from heavyweights in private. Before his war bill was proposed, some people expressed their concerns and even clearly expressed their unwillingness to launch a war against the Chinese nation.

The strange atmosphere made Benjamin very depressed. The situation was out of his control, which felt very bad. In the end, he thought of the queen. He hoped that he could convince the queen and borrow the queen's reputation to influence opponents, which led to this talk tonight.

But she never expected that the queen's attitude was so cold that she didn't want to express any opinions. This was a very terrible signal, which showed that the queen was disappointed with Benjamin and very disappointed.

Sweat came out from my forehead, and Benjamin continued to sit up straight, "Dear Your Majesty, if there is any deviation in my analysis, I hope Your Majesty can give me some advice..."

Queen Victoria knew that Benjamin was still talented, and when the queen's original intention was to cultivate it well and then serve the empire, she put away her polite smile and suddenly became serious.

"Benjamin, you can become the Prime Minister of the Empire, which shows that your talent is recognized by everyone, but why do you perform so disappointingly in this matter today?"

"Is it because the young Xiao Letian suddenly emerged, and the aura of the successful person stings your heart? You should know that jealousy can sometimes make people crazy!"

The queen is really accurate in looking at people. Benjamin's extremely disgusting mentality towards Xiao Letian is actually a kind of jealousy. An Eastern person who dares to claim to be a master of Western learning can become the real power of a country at a young age, and even the power to start a war can be controlled by one person!

Benjamin is not a generous person, and his jealousy is much greater than his ex. He actually has a deep hatred for Xiao Letian because of jealousy.

The Queen continued to say, regardless of the Prime Minister's slightly red face, "Everyone knows the core interests of Britain are on the sea, but there is another core interest that many people don't know, that is, we will always step on the second place!"

"How can you even forget this national policy? Who in this world poses the greatest threat to the United Kingdom? It's not a real country, but the greatest threat to the second place, because they are too close to us..."

"For Napoleon III, we chose to cooperate since the beginning of the Crimean War. With our intentional concessions, France's overseas colonies expanded rapidly and have now become the second largest power after us..."

"What do you want to do? Let the second place continue to be stronger and let him finally have the strength to challenge us? Let Napoleon III's rule become more and more stable? Let his empire be passed down for three or four generations forever?"

"This is the core threat to challenge the British Empire, you must remember it! So no matter how different the strengths of the two sides in the Franco-Prussian War are, all we can support is Prussia, and there is no second choice!"

"Do you know why so many MPs are secretly reminding you? That was my instruction. I hope you will not be affected by your personal emotions and return to the world of rational reality!"
