"Mr. Cavour, the Kingdom of Britain will absolutely not assist the Sardinian Kingdom in any aggressive war!"
Prince Albert's decisive remarks left Cavour slightly disappointed.
However, fortunately, all of this was within Cavour's expectations.
After all, the Kingdom of Britain is now the most powerful country in all of Europe, and even the world.
Recklessly participating in a European conflict that doesn't concern Britain would only undermine Britain's dominance.
At this stage, no country can truly threaten the maritime supremacy, crucial to the Kingdom of Britain's survival, not even the navy of the French Empire, which only slightly surpasses Britain in technology by taking the lead.
Regarding naval fleet quantities, the French Empire currently cannot cover all maritime areas and can only exert influence in the Mediterranean Region.
If the French Empire's navy wishes to achieve global influence, it must invest as much as the Kingdom of Britain does.
