The news of Xiao Letian's assassination spread quickly throughout Europe like a storm, without even 24 hours. That evening, all the kings and politicians in Europe learned about this shocking news!

Queen Victoria in Buckingham Palace got the news during dinner. When Prince Edward said the news with horror, the queen's hand slipped, and the silver knife and fork fell on the plate with a clatter.

"Are you kidding me? Xiao Letian died? He was assassinated?"

"It can only be said that life and death are unknown now. We have only received the first report of the assassination site. We do not know the results of the subsequent cleaning. It will take a certain amount of time... I estimate that the final result will take at least 24 hours!"

"But according to the intelligence, this time the assassination used more than 100 kilograms*, and the steel-structured railway bridge was completely blown to pieces, and the valley was as high as five floors..."

"So...so we can only judge how good or bad the bad is!"

Queen Victoria rubbed her temples painfully, and for ten minutes she didn't say anything, "Be prepared, let our navy and army be prepared to intervene... It seems that this war between Prussia and France will be larger than we thought!"

"There will never be any small-scale border conflicts, and there will never be any medieval gladiatorial wars. Once Xiao Lotte dies, all of the Eastern Strategy of Bismey will be ruined!"

"Can I guess what that guy is thinking? He will definitely fight to the death to avenge Xiao Letian! Don't look at me with that puzzled look..."

"In fact, the reason is very simple. Xiao Letian ruled the East alive, which can bring a very vast market to Prussia, and it is also brought by peaceful means, which greatly alleviates the pressure of lack of overseas colonies in Prussia!"

"If Xiao Letian hadn't helped them develop the Asian market, what would happen if Prussia won the war against France alone?"

"You must know that there is no powerful navy in Prussia now! He cannot swallow up those overseas colonies in France. At that time, the Prussians will have to spend another decades to build a passable navy!"

"Only after decades, his naval force can grab some overseas colonies for them. Do you think that Bersmey will allow Prussia to waste these decades?"

"Absolutely, he can only build a navy while slowly expanding the colony. In this process, the Chinese people are a very good buffer for them!"

"Before the naval and colonial system was established, if the Chinese people helped them support the Asian market, they would not be too miserable for the industrial and commercial owners in Prussia! Only their industrial products have a destination for sales!"

"This is the core of the strong ally relationship between Besmai and Xiao Lotte. Otherwise, why is their relationship so close? Remember that friendship is not in vain!"

"Once Xiao Letian dies, he must fight to the French with the banner of revenge and try his best to win the support of Xiao Letian's heirs, so that he can ask the Chinese to continue to fulfill the contract!"

"But we, Britain, never want to escalate the war. Our goal is not to kill anyone, nor to let Napoleon III die, or William abdicate. What we want is that the two countries will fight to the death, both sides will suffer, but we cannot let any country die!"

"What the UK wants is the mainland checks and balances policy, and what the UK wants is the two evil dogs bite and are covered in bruises, so no one can challenge our first position in Britain. This is what we want!"

"Child, remember it for me. Pay close attention to this war. Once the war begins, who should we Britain help? We must help the weak side, and only by helping the weak side can we shed more blood in this war!"

"When the blood flows enough, the greater the national strength of both of them will be consumed. Now we help the Prussians, but if the Prussians are about to destroy the French, we will change our strategy and protect the French immediately!"

"After all we want is the process of war, and there is no need for the result of who wins and who loses after the war! After the end of this war, I hope France and Prussia will continue to hate, and I hope that there will be no more overlords like Napoleon I on both sides!"

Prince Edward stood in front of his mother, bowed his head respectfully and listened to the teachings. "Yes, mother, I understand. Now, because of Xiao Letian's affairs, it is very likely that the Kingdom of Prussia will lose its mind and choose to devote all its strength regardless of everything!"

"In this way, it will cause serious escalation of the war and become protracted. Once it enters the conclusion that national strength is consumed, France's momentum will continue to improve!"

"At that time, the final result of Prussia must be a crushing defeat, a very serious crushing defeat, and even the territory was stolen by the French... This is not something that has not happened. Napoleon I once seized half of the land of the Kingdom of Prussia, and now Napoleon III will not be ruthless!"

"This result is something that we in Britain cannot accept. If such a result occurs, then Napoleon III may have really transformed into Napoleon I. The man who made the whole of Europe tremble cannot appear again. This is the bottom line of our Britain!"

"Very good, you understand it very correctly. Let's go down and come up with the people from Gladstone and the military department, and come up with a specific plan!"

"Yes mother..." Crown Prince Edward turned his head and prepared to leave the palace.

"Wait a minute, before you leave, go and meet His Majesty Tongzhi... Xiao Letian is his teacher after all, and he should get this news as soon as possible!"

"Then, if Emperor Tongzhi takes this opportunity to ask for leaving England and going to Prussia to pay condolences, should we agree or not, should we continue to control him or let him go?"

Queen Victoria pondered for a moment, "The dead are the most important thing, so let Emperor Tongzhi go and send his master on his last journey, let the Royal Navy prepare the best warships and prepare to escort His Majesty to Prussia!"

Most people in Europe don’t know that Emperor Tongzhi stayed in London without accompanying his master to Prussia, not because the little emperor was willing to continue to stay in this fog city.

In fact, the real reason is that Queen Victoria, the grandmother of the European royal family, has a very smart plan. He kept Emperor Tongzhi by his side because he actually wanted to be a matchmaker!
