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 issued an opinion, demanding that we not let the Spanish destroy a ship belonging to the United Kingdom at all costs, or we will bear the consequences!"

  The first mate looked at General James' livid face, and said cautiously, for fear that His Excellency the General might get angry and lose his temper.

   "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 the duty of our navy to maintain the safety of the kingdom, so there is no need for them to say anything!"

   Sure enough, when General James heard this, he immediately slapped the side of the ship hard with his right hand. After a loud noise, his eyes widened. As his palms became bright 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, and it was obvious that he was suffering from suffocation.

   At this time, the Palace of Westminster, the huge palace that serves as the parliament building and the cabinet, is exclusively in the king's office. After a long period of emptiness, it finally waited for its owner.

   It's just that its owner is in a bad mood.

"Damn Spaniards, **** 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. God is still a Spaniard, as long as he can be scolded.

  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.

  Ever since 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 go 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 small thing. What's the use of having 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, at present, it is better to figure out the plan of these Spaniards, so that we can make a plan."

  Thomas Mane, as the Prime Minister, has always had a good wink. When he found that His Majesty the King's anger had almost subsided, he spoke out slowly and expressed his plan.

   "Come here, send a letter immediately, and ask, our respected Secretary 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 a bit cruel, Your Excellency the Prime Minister can still only say 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, fly the pigeon to pass the letter, let General James pay attention, and always pay attention to the movements of 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 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 move of the Spaniards this time has unparalleled shock to the entire United Kingdom.

   "Starting today, the cabinet will make a special budget as the start-up funds for the Navy's growth and construction plan.

Among them, the tasks are: within three years, establish five docks that can produce ships of more than 1,000 tons; train and train at least 10,000 reserve seamen; The ship design and transformation of the kingdom let the Royal Navy 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 under it 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.

   "That is to say, the Spaniard is no longer on the list of restraint!"

   "Increase funding for 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 moves in a row, spared no expense, just 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 in vain?"
