Chapter 402 The Whole World Was Frightened by the Ming Dynasty's Strength
Reaching India's capital in seven hours, although Britain received pleas for help from India, they clearly had no intention of intervening.
Are you kidding? Right now, it was a dog that got beaten. But if Britain personally stepped in, then the one getting beaten might very well be the dog owner. So how could Britain personally intervene?
The Ming Dynasty's combat capability of piercing through India in seven hours directly scared Britain and even the whole world.
Precisely because of this, how could Britain dare to easily start a war? Did they really think they could take on the world?
And the achievement of piercing through India in seven hours immediately silenced the voices within Britain that had been cursing the Ming Dynasty and accusing Morgan of colluding to attempt to overthrow Britain. After all, these pirates were inherently bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
But obviously, the internet has a memory. Britain thought it could just play dumb, but things weren't that easy in this world.
Britain had recorded all the curses against the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty directly lodged a serious protest.
If Britain couldn't provide an explanation to the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would use force to defend its dignity. Britain was directly pushed into a corner.
Now, all the countries in the world were waiting to see the joke. These countries had also figured out what had happened. They wanted to throw mud on Morgan and the Ming Dynasty to cover up Sawamura Spencer Eriri's scandal while simultaneously provoking and testing the Ming Dynasty.
But just as Britain began to test, their face was immediately swollen.
Now, if Britain didn't apologize, it was very likely that the Ming Dynasty would indeed choose to fight Britain. Then Britain's losses would be huge. But if Britain apologized, that would be equivalent to offering their face to the Ming Dynasty to slap. From then on, Britain would become a laughingstock. Britain, which had always wanted to seize the world's number one position from the Ming Dynasty, absolutely could not accept that.
Britain, in the palace.
The Queen of Britain looked at Sawamura Spencer Eriri with a face full of rage. If it weren't for Sawamura Spencer Eriri, Britain wouldn't have jumped out like this. Instead, they would have continued to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.
On the surface, Sawamura Spencer Eriri remained silent. But inwardly, she sneered. Didn't that old fossil know what kind of person she was?
If that old fossil hadn't agreed to her proposal at the time, how could it have passed? Now, facing problems and losses, they were shifting all the blame onto her. What a piece of work.
Artoria also had a headache. If the Ming Dynasty really went to war with Britain, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to Britain.
Although India's claim of being the world's third-ranked military power was somewhat exaggerated, it was still a world power, a large country with a population of over a billion. But being reduced to having its capital reached in seven hours, what kind of terrifying combat capability was that?
Obviously, Artoria didn't know how weak India's military really was. She completely attributed all of this to the Ming Dynasty's strength.
Artoria was very worried now. If the Ming Dynasty attacked, how long could Britain hold out? Ten hours? Seventeen hours?
She should have stopped her mother and Eriri from provoking the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. However, Artoria quickly thought of a way to repair relations with the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing the gradually serious atmosphere, Artoria had to speak. "Mother, for now, Britain should temporarily ease relations with the Ming Dynasty. The strength the Ming Dynasty displayed this time is a bit too powerful. Britain still needs some time to catch up. So we cannot give the Ming Dynasty any reason to take action against Britain."
The Queen of Britain looked at Artoria. "Arthur, what are your thoughts? Tell me."
Clearly, Artoria's thoughts hit the mark with the Queen of Britain's concerns. For now, Britain didn't have the strength to directly confront the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they couldn't give the Ming Dynasty a reason to take action against Britain.
"The Legendary Cooking Utensil. Use it as a compensatory gift. Then, we can attribute the previous incidents to foreign forces deliberately leading us into conflict with the Ming Dynasty. Finally, we can fire the relevant personnel as temporary workers. I think the Ming Dynasty will agree. Although there will be some loss of reputation, the most important thing is to preserve national strength."
Hearing Artoria's words, the Queen of Britain was a bit reluctant. The Legendary Cooking Utensil was said to have the ability to make dishes that granted immortality. How could the Queen of Britain not have the desire for immortality?
"Mother, it's only temporary to hand over the Legendary Cooking Utensil. When Britain becomes powerful, the Legendary Cooking Utensil will return to our hands, won't it? Moreover, only when all seven Legendary Cooking Utensils are gathered can their true power be unleashed."
The Queen of Britain's furrowed brow slowly relaxed. A smile appeared on her face.
"Arthur, you haven't disappointed me. This is a very good way to handle it. Then go convey this to that little blonde. She'll know what to do."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Artoria slightly bowed and then left to convey her mother's orders.
After Artoria left, the Queen of Britain's face darkened again. She looked at Sawamura Spencer Eriri, 'If it weren't for this slut, Britain wouldn't have so easily provoked the Ming Dynasty.'
It surely wasn't her own fault. So someone had to pay for this mistake. That person was clearly Sawamura Spencer Eriri.
But facing the Queen of Britain's gaze, Sawamura Spencer Eriri said calmly, "I've thought of a way to make Britain more powerful than the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing this old fossil's expression, Sawamura Spencer Eriri guessed that she was going to take her anger out on her.
