Several ministers looked at the prime minister one after another, with some doubts in their hearts.

"Everyone is bullying us. Do we have to give in? If they want to fight, let's keep fighting until they surrender!" The other person who spoke harshly was naturally Count Shuvalov.

"Prime Minister, you might as well tell me what you have to see." Queen Elizabeth turned her attention to the Prime Minister, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.

In her mind, this prime minister has always been mature and prudent, and has always been impartial in governing the country, focusing on stability, but he has also resolved many crises.

This time, too, is a crisis.

"In my opinion." The prime minister glanced at the surrounding ministers and the Queen Elizabeth who was looking at him and said slowly.

"They just want to get Chukotka and Kamchatka, but they can't wait anymore because we have delayed it for too long."

"It's impossible for them to wait for us to wait for a price. Now they want to force us to make a decision." Several people frowned. They were absolutely unwilling to bear such humiliation, at least they couldn't bear it.

"Now our focus should be on Europe. Chukchi and Kamchatka are connected to our land. Even if the White Iron Kingdom takes him away, as long as we accumulate strength again, we can easily take it back."

"The most important thing now is not to break the balance of the Baltic Sea. First of all, we must defend St. Petersburg and the Gulf of Finland and not allow them to be arrogant here."

"And it seems unrealistic to me to mobilize the fleet to fight the White Iron Kingdom in the Baltic Sea. They will never attack St. Petersburg through the Baltic Sea or into the Gulf of Finland."

"Threatening Petropavlovsk and Chukchi in Kamchatka is more of a pressure on us."

Everyone took a deep breath, feeling very suffocated.

The Prime Minister also sighed, "Don't just look at your eyes. If we have a conflict with the Iron Kingdom, think about it. Is it the Iron Kingdom? Of course not, it will be Prussia, it will be Britain, It could even be France and Austria."

"After all, a weakened Russia is beneficial to them, and a Russia with no naval fleet or even a weakened naval fleet is what they want to see."

"Russia is growing stronger every day. Under the leadership of the wise empress, our country is becoming more and more prosperous."

"Our military and national strength are growing every day. It will never be other countries that are most feared, but countries like Britain, France and Prussia."

"Britain doesn't want us to leave the Baltic Sea, France doesn't want us to meddle in the Mediterranean, and the Ottoman Empire doesn't want us to get access to the Black Sea."

"They hoped to trap us in Northern Europe like a beast, but when Peter the Great was around, we had already set our goals. We wanted to leave this place and spread our tentacles to the world. Over the years, our efforts on land Military operations have been successful time after time!"

"However, the actions at sea are not satisfactory, and it is almost impossible to leave the Baltic Sea. Even if you leave occasionally, you still have to look at other people's faces."

"Shouldn't we give priority to Europe? As for the Far East, I believe everyone knows the situation."

"It's embarrassing to say that those places have almost no benefits for us. Apart from marking a huge plate on the map, there are almost a handful of benefits to St. Petersburg there, and we even have to invest our strength Go and garrison there!"

"Seeing that the war in Europe is imminent, we cannot cause the situation in the war in Europe to become unbalanced or even lose this battle because of this small move."

"This has a great impact on us, and a conflict with the White Iron Kingdom is something we don't want to see."

"Are we going to put up with this tone?"

The prime minister shook his head, "The future will be long, as I have said, Chukchi and Kamchatka are connected to our land, if we really want to take it back one day, it will be easier than attacking the American land of the White Iron Kingdom Bar!"

"When we free up our hands, they will be beyond their reach at that time, and we will have a basis for advancing and retreating." As he spoke, the Prime Minister glanced at the few people, who slowly lowered their heads, thinking about what the Prime Minister said.

The prime minister continued: "If the White Iron Kingdom really wants to start a war, they should withdraw all their envoys from St. It forces us to reach a cooperation as soon as possible, and we don’t want this matter to continue to drag on.”

"And in my opinion, the White Iron Kingdom doesn't want to get all the land of Kamchatka and Chukchi. What they want is to control the sea."

"It can be seen from their development in recent years and the steps they have taken. Although they have ambitions for territories on land, they don't want everywhere as we imagined."

"At least they didn't do this for the nearest pieces of land, such as the piece of land south of Peru, or Brazil where Portugal is located. They didn't fight for it."

"If they just want land, these two pieces of land are enough for them to eat, and in their confrontation with Portugal and Spain, Portugal and Spain are obviously at a disadvantage. Even so, they didn't beat the dog in the water. What does it mean!"

"What do you mean!" Count Shuvalov looked at the prime minister.

"It shows that their country's manpower and military power have reached their limits. They don't have that much appetite at all if they want to eat more land. They are not like our Russia. They have accumulated for several centuries and have a population of more than 1000 million. They have more than enough power Annex a large chunk of territory, and they just can't."

"It can be seen from Gris Allen's recent movements that he is in frequent contact with our Royal Academy of Sciences, and even wants to poach people from it at any cost."

"In my opinion, it is more important to prevent them from poaching people from our Royal Academy of Sciences. As for Chukchi and Kamchatka, it doesn't matter if they occupy them. Those places are just some small towns, not huge. military strategic value."

"And as long as we want, as long as we concentrate our forces, we can take it back at any time."

"They are just a group of pirates. Robbery may be their strong point, but when it comes to fighting on the mainland, the Russian army has never been afraid of anyone!"

Hearing the Prime Minister's analysis, everyone nodded.Queen Elizabeth also agrees.

Immediately, Queen Elizabeth asked: "So what do you think we should do?"

"Talk! Talk to Gris Allen, maybe he is waiting for us to find him in the embassy manor now!"

The Russian Prime Minister's analysis was correct. After receiving Zeng Yunfeng's letter, Gris Allen did not make any other unnecessary actions.

Gris Allen also knows that nothing can be negotiated by negotiation alone. At least he showed his favor and bribed him, but he still didn't impress Queen Elizabeth and her ministers. Even Earl Shuvalov was delayed. with him.

Zeng Yunfeng's tyrannical approach fueled the flames behind the scenes, but it was what Gris Allen wanted to see.

There is no pressure on the negotiating table, that can only put pressure on them from outside the negotiating table, let them understand that this matter is not their unilateral charity.
