Although Fox is the oldest of the three people in the British side of China, because he is only a member of the British House of Commons, although he is still a real power figure in the Whig Party, however, at present, it is most reasonable for him to speak first. "......................, France has a large number of colonies in the whole world, and now in the current situation of France, France, which has fallen into civil strife, is no longer able to lead the people of these territories all over the world to a civilized society, and the progress of civilization in society is the expectation of all beings, so in the case of France's failure to catch it, the United Kingdom of Great Britain is willing to take up this burden, of course, we think that as a world power, Prussia should also have a way to spread its civilization in the New World, as well as in Asia and Africa, so that the ignorant and backward nations can feel the gospel of God!
” As he spoke, Fawkes' eyes were fixed on William.
And after Fox finished speaking, William just smiled at him and didn't speak.
After Fawkes finished speaking, the scene was a little cold, and it was then that Augustus spoke: "Your Majesty William, although there are some meanings in His Excellency Fox's words that are not clearly expressed, you should also understand the general situation.
Now France is mired in civil strife, and as a large country like France, civil strife is not just a national affair that can be completely classified as a world event.
After the beginning of the civil strife in France, there were also varying degrees of turmoil in those territories of France all over the world, which made us feel very sorry, it is undeniable that France is indeed our biggest opponent of the British, but although we believe in different sects, but we all believe in one God.
Therefore, we in England will not bear to see the innocent people of God being invaded by backward barbarians in all the lands because of the internal turmoil in France!
Just last month, our British Navy discovered that the local natives in the territory of French Guiana had launched an attack on foreign traders, causing dozens of casualties, which was a very bad time.
Now the French are unable to completely suppress those barbarians because of internal turmoil, and we, who are also in civilized society, naturally cannot stand idly by, so for the souls of those who died tragically at the hands of the barbaric natives, please also ask His Majesty William to lend a hand!
” Augustus's words were completely emotional, and just after he had finished speaking, William also spoke: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart is really touching, and I believe it is under the spirit of benevolence of the British royal family.
The British people can live happily ever after."
Regardless of whether what you say makes sense or not, come up and praise the other party first, although it is very hypocritical, but this tone is a must.
"I'm actually very anxious about the situation in France, like all of you, as a territory that spreads all over the world.
France's every move could affect the situation in the world at any time, but I have to wonder whether our good intentions will be completely misinterpreted by the French, and even regarded our good intentions as hostile acts. ” After William finished speaking, the three men on the British side looked at each other, and then little Pete said: "His Majesty Wilhelm has no doubts, it is not unfounded that we have invited His Majesty Wilhelm to discuss the French colony.
Because of France's domestic financial depletion and internal instability, Louis XVI proposed a plan to sell some of France's colonies all over the world!
” Hearing little Pete's words, William was stunned for a moment, and then William's brows furrowed.
You must know that France and Britain are still in a state of hostility, and Britain still forcibly occupies the French Calais region and has not let go.
William believed that even if Louis XVI had the idea of selling the colonies, he would never have consulted with the British, because handing over these colonies to the British would be a complete self-digging for the French, and Louis XVI would never do it.
But now that little Pitt is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, he is able to say this.
Then it is clear that he has a basis, and even the British have received definite information, and in this way, William is a little dissatisfied with the Prussian intelligence network that he has worked so hard to build.
Although Du Li reported to William before that the British came mainly for the French colonies, William did not know that France was actually preparing to sell these colonies, and the British had obtained such important information at least a week ago.
And Prussia received only a vague message a week later, which has to be said that Prussia's intelligence agencies were negligent.
"Oh, Prime Minister Pitt, is your news conclusive?"
"His Majesty William.
You need not doubt that my news is conclusive, and we have even learned that the French are negotiating with the Spanish and Austrians to sell some of their colonies in Africa and the New World to meet their financial needs!
” Although Spain was removed from the altar by the British in the 16th century, and was once reduced to a second-rate power in Europe, it cannot be denied that Spain has a very deep heritage.
After the death of Carlos II of the Habsburgs of Spain in 1700, the Spanish throne fell into the hands of Philip V, Duke of Anjou, grandson of King Louis XIV of France, because the monarch had no heirs, so after a war of succession for the Spanish throne.
After Philip V ascended to the throne of Spain, Spain recovered from the decadence of the Habsburg dynasty and the country's economy began to recover, but this did not last long.
When the Spanish throne passed to the current king Carlos IV, the stupid king actually indulged his queen and the queen's mistress to interfere in the affairs of the court, and after only two years on the throne, the Spanish people were full of resentment with the insatiable queen and her mistress, but Carlos IV, who was obsessed with hunting, was completely indifferent to this.
But although the king was a little mediocre, he had a great ideal in his heart, that is, to reproduce the glory of the Spanish dynasty, and externally, this king adhered to the tradition of the Spanish royal family and was close to the French royal family, and in all wars, Spain followed France in the war.
As the staunchest ally, France naturally takes care of Spain.
Selling colonies is a method that only a stupid fool would do, as in the case of the modern American purchase of Alaska from Russia, which was discovered by the Russian explorer Bering in 1741 and declared sovereignty over Alaska.
And in 1856, because of the heavy losses in the Crimean War, the financial situation of Tsarist Russia was severe, so the then Tsar Alexander II decided to sell Alaska to the Americans, and even took out $100,000 to bribe the officials of the United States Congress, and finally Alaska was sold for $7.2 million, equivalent to 4 US dollars and 74 cents per square kilometer.
At this point, the Russians are simply stupid, and although they have been given a fund, it is simply too light for the overall benefit of Russia.
Now the French want to sell the colonies, which is a great opportunity for William, because he can take advantage of this opportunity to reach a deal with the British, and then the two countries will jointly put pressure on the French to push down the price, and then they can get a large number of colonies.
Although Prussia's naval power was not strong, William believed that as long as he brought the British with him, the British would definitely be willing.
"Oh, Prime Minister Pitt, since the French are interested in selling these colonies, then your country can buy them directly, what can a meeting with me do in this matter?"
Without waiting for Pete to speak, Augustus on the side said impatiently: "Your Majesty, don't you see the faces of the French, who seem to be willing to throw these colonies to dogs rather than cheapen us.
Therefore, after deliberation, our country has decided to carry out our actions against these colonies, and of course we need your strong cooperation here!
” William asked with a puzzled expression: "I wonder what kind of cooperation your country needs from our country?"
"Your Majesty, we are also clear about the situation in your country, so we hope that your country will be able to send a diplomatic note to the French together with our country, and at the same time, we hope that your country will be able to send another reinforcement to the New World, the purpose of which is to occupy the French territory in the Caribbean Sea, of course, these occupied islands will be divided equally between our country and your country, and the transportation of the army will also be guarded by our Royal Navy of the British Empire!"
Listening to Augustus's words, William felt a burst of surprise, you must know that the British have never been generous, and although the British army is relatively poor, they are not short of people.
And although the content just mentioned seems to be moving, William believes that the British must have a trick.
"Of course, this can be seen as a manifestation of our British friendship with Prussia......."
"Okay, Your Highness Augustus, we are also old friends, let's just say what conditions you need!"

Listening to William's words, Augustus had a smile on his face "Yes, as His Majesty William said, we are old friends, so I will say it bluntly, we in England have a crush on French India and French territories in the New World, and of course we do not want to look at the faces of French officials and do not want to buy these colonies at a high price.
So we hope that Prussia can help us convince the Austrians to withdraw from the colony and buy it, and that we need the Prussian army deployed in the New World to help us fight the French and Spanish colonial forces!
