Chapitre 656: Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Nine: No Time to Attend to

London, since the news of the Prusso-Russian war broke out, the British Government has been busy.

Prime Minister Benjamin: "You want to expand the army again?"

Army Minister Fox solemnly reminded, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have not expanded our army for many years. Apart from wartime, the army's organization has not increased in nearly fifty years."

Benjamin answered with an embarrassed face, "Sorry, I made a mistake. Tell me the reasons, why do you think about expanding the army?"

The presence of the British Army is so low that it is usually the Navy that requests expansions. The sudden application for army expansion caught Prime Minister Benjamin off guard, leading to his habitual use of "again".

Fox was used to this kind of situation. Such is the status of the British Army; it seldom grabs the government's attention except when needed.
