“Your Excellency, the Oriental people are very ambitious, and their willingness to expand abroad is also very strong. At the same time, after defeating the Qing Empire a few years ago, they received large sums of war reparations and other benefits, which further stimulated the ambitions of the Orientals. The Toyo people have become a world-class power. We can use the Orientals against the Russian Empire and stop the expansion of the Russian Empire in the Far East. In this way, we only need to pay a very small price to stop the Russian Empire and even hit them hard! Lord Frederick Richards, Lord of the Admiralty, continued.

“Can the Toyo people do this? No matter how weak the Russian Empire is, it is one of the world’s great powers after all! Robert Cecil was undoubtedly skeptical that the Orientals could take on the heavy responsibility of stopping the Russian Empire.

“Your Excellency, the strength of the Oriental people is still very good. Although the Russian Empire was very powerful, after all, they were too far from the Far East. In the Far East, the Orientals are already considered a great power. Sir Frederick Richards continued.

“By the way, did the Russian Empire already realize the threat posed to them by the Orientals? According to the information we have obtained, the Russian Empire is carrying out large-scale transportation construction, including speeding up the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Robert Cecil suddenly thought of this.

“It’s entirely possible. However, Your Excellency Prime Minister, we let the Orientals go to war with the Russian Empire. It doesn’t matter which side the winner is. But as soon as the war began. The Russian Empire will pay a small price. In this way, it will inevitably delay the development of the Russian Empire. For us, it is also very beneficial. Sir Frederick Richards said.

Robert Cecil nodded repeatedly.

The consumption of national strength by war is undoubtedly very large.

As the saying goes, when a cannon sounds, gold is ten thousand taels.

Once a major war broke out between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Eastern Empire in the Far East, it would inevitably have a huge impact on the development of the Tsarist Empire.

If the Russian Empire had won the war, it would have caused great losses. Not to mention that if the Tsarist Empire loses, then the price paid by the Tsarist Empire will be even greater. Not only will it lose a lot of money, but it will also lose face.

And this is undoubtedly what the Sun Never Sets Empire wants to see.

“Gentlemen, it seems that we have to increase our support for the Eastern Empire. Let the Eastern Empire further accelerate war preparations. In the future, an even bigger war broke out with the Russian Empire in the Far East. If necessary, we can provide more loans to the Eastern Empire to help them build more warships, so that the Eastern Empire can mobilize more troops for future wars! Robert Cecil said.

This point, the high-ranking people of the Sun Never Set Empire, naturally agreed.

It is undoubtedly best to be able to hide behind, spend a little money, and let other countries fight for the empire that never sets, and send them to death.

“Relying on the Eastern Empire alone, it may be very difficult to defeat the Russian Empire. Moreover, it will take several years for the Toyo people to be ready for war. Therefore, we can provoke the other enemies of the Russian Empire again. For example, the Ottoman Empire. From more than two hundred years ago to the present, ten wars have broken out between the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. The Ottoman Empire rarely won. It can be said that the reason why the Ottoman Empire has weakened to this point is largely because of the Russian Empire.

This also made the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire already have an insoluble grudge. If the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire could fight, it would undoubtedly be the best. Whether or not the Ottoman Empire can win in the end, it can at least cause some trouble for the Tsarist Russian Empire! ”

The Minister of War, the Marquis de Lansdownne, also proposed.

Robert Cecil nodded, although he also did not think that the Ottoman Empire could pose much of a threat to the Russian Empire. However, as long as a war between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire was provoked. Then, this is undoubtedly a victory for the Empire of the Sun Never Sets.

“In addition to the Ottoman Empire, there was also a lot of trouble between Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire in order to expand into the Balkans. If only Austria-Hungary could join in. Even the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires joined forces against the Russian Empire. Well, the Russian Empire was busy. If not, they will really suffer a big defeat. The Marquis de Lansdownne continued.

“Very well, gentlemen, this is undoubtedly a good idea. Let these countries go to war with the Russian Empire one after another. In this case, the Russian Empire would be overwhelmed. Naturally, they would not have a chance to become strong again! Prime Minister Robert Cecil adopted these recommendations.

“Then, then we have to find a way to involve the Russian Empire in the war with the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires.” Robert Cecil said.

“Your Excellency, we can look for opportunities in the Balkans. The relationship between the Russian Empire and the Bulgarian Kingdom was more complicated. Although, the Bulgarians are also Slavs. However, they did not want to be controlled by the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire, on the other hand, hoped to intervene in the Balkans through control of the Bulgarian kingdom. If we can figure out how to do this, we may get good results. The Marquis de Lanstone suggested.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil thought for a moment and agreed with the plan.
