Chapter 469: Agree to Buy


Eventually, Tronell died, not by execution by the law, but by a knife in a military tent.

Traunel's death did not cause an uproar in the Seventh Division, as Rumolin claimed that Traunel had fallen off his horse and died.

When Traunel committed suicide, he left behind a suicide note, in which Traunel prayed that Rumerin would protect his family after his death, and he hoped that Rumerin would help him cover up the crime.

Although Traunel was not a relative of Rumorin, he was still full of grief at his death, and a young general who had watched him grow up on a fork in the road always made people sad. .....................................

After the talks between Elstner and the British, Prussia and Britain reached a consensus on the French colonies, Prussia was willing to send more troops to North America, and at the same time, it could also send North American troops to help Britain fight for colonies, and Prussia would get half of France's colonies in the Caribbean, and at the same time, France's colonies in Southeast Asia would also divide the Prussians by one-third.

William was pleased with the result.

With the colonies in Southeast Asia, Prussia got a long-term source of wealth, and Southeast Asia is not only adjacent to Manchuria, but also has a very promising area in East Asia, that is, Japan.

It has been 187 years since Tokugawa Ieyasu founded the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the current Tokugawa Shogunate is controlled by the 11th Shogun Tokugawa Ieki.

Although Japan still adopts a policy of seclusion and seclusion, William believes that since the United States can rely on the military to open Japan's doors in 1853, Prussia will have absolutely no problem.

Of course, Prussia is not yet a sea power country, but William believes that in a few years, Prussia will be able to have a navy that will be able to raise its prestige in addition to the army that dominates Europe!

After Prussia and England had reached an agreement, they sent a copy of their credentials to France in a common name, which was very exciting.

The British offered to buy the French colonies in the New World and Asia for a million pounds, and if the French did not agree, then Britain and Prussia would take it with their own swords and cannons!

Sure enough, Louis XVI's entire face turned green after receiving such a credential.

At the Palace of Versailles, Louis XVI could no longer care about the coercion of the monarch, and he scolded George III and King William of Prussia.

What is the difference between a million pounds to buy the New World and Asian colonies that the Bourbon monarchs have spent a hundred years of painstaking efforts to open up and give away for nothing!

But after scolding.

Louis XVI felt nothing but chills.

The internal turmoil in France had already coveted the wolves around him, and although Napoleon's army had besieged Calais, Louis XVI had not made up his mind to turn against the British.

The British have been the greatest power in Europe since the Victorian era, although the combat effectiveness of the British Army is not outstanding in the eyes of the major powers, and even the French Army despises the combat effectiveness of the British Army.

But it is undeniable that Britain has a navy that dominates the four seas.

The UK's special geographical location is determined.

If there is no large and powerful navy, then it is delusional to try to subdue the British.

And even if Louis XVI wanted to use Prussia as a breakthrough, it was impossible, everyone knew that the Prussian army had begun to expand, and France was still in chaos, even if the persimmon was soft, the current Prussia was not something that France could easily provoke.

While Louis XVI was struggling, Queen Marie gave him advice.

The British wanted those colonies could.

But the British had to raise the price, and a million pounds was absolutely unacceptable, and the British had to provide two million pounds and a million pounds worth of supplies.

When the British received a reply from Louis XVI, the British cabinet, headed by Pitt the Younger, did not bother to look at the conditions offered by the French, and the British sent another diplomatic letter.

A million pounds is already the bottom line of the British, and the French accept it or not, anyway, it is impossible for the British to increase the price.

If they do not accept the British proposal, then the British will use their own means to acquire those backward colonies!

I have already said that.

The French garrisoned a number of troops in all the colonies, and in the New World alone, the French garrisoned 20,000 troops.

But the 20,000-strong army had to deal not only with the natives but also with the British, and this was not an exception.

The French government met with Spain and Austria immediately after receiving the refusal of the British.

Louis XVI sold his colonies in the New World to Spain for £2,300,000 and his colonies in Asia and parts of Africa to Austria for £1,100,000.

Spain and Austria were tempted by the price offered by Louis XVI, and Carlos IV of Spain had been haunted by Spain's loss of world hegemony, and two million pounds sterling could buy France a colony in the New World.

The price is not unacceptable.

France's colonies in the New World included dozens of islands in the Caribbean Sea, including the central part of the United States, along the Mississippi River, Florida, and eastern Canada.

According to the calculations of the Spanish government, the total value of these areas was definitely more than two and three hundred thousand pounds, and even according to optimistic estimates, it would take a maximum of three years to recoup the purchase of these French colonies in the New World.

And also through the purchase of French colonies.

It was possible to connect Spain's former colonies in the New World.

Therefore, after only two rounds of discussions, Spain agreed to the plan proposed by France, and of course Spain also demanded that the money should not be paid in one lump sum, but in two years and four times, and the first 700,000 pounds of money could be taken out by Spain at any time.

Louis XVI was undoubtedly encouraged by Spain's agreement to buy them, and although it would be a pity for France to lose these colonies, according to the current situation in France itself, France not only needs a lot of money to restore the people's livelihood, but also needs a large number of troops to stabilize the situation at home.

In Austria, the government headed by Kautz also approved the purchase of French colonies in Asia.

A million pounds is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for an individual, but for a large country, in any case, there will be some money in the treasury for emergencies.

Thanks to Joseph II's accumulation, Austria's treasury was still relatively large, so Austria could afford the money, and Kautz also considered the French colonies in Asia to be a pie in the sky for Austria.

The good news came from both countries, which also swelled Louis XVI's confidence, although there was no alliance between France, Spain, and Austria, but Louis XVI believed that through this deal, Spain and Austria had been completely tied to his chariot.

But the actions of Austria and Spain also made the British completely hostile to both countries.

Right now, in Europe, with the exception of polarized Russia, the rest of the countries are already forming gangs.

First of all, there was an alliance between Britain and Prussia, and Britain had an alliance with the Netherlands and Portugal, and Prussia had an alliance with Sweden.

Secondly, France had already signed treaties of alliance with Spain and Austria, and Spain had formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Sicily. ..............................

October 1790 After much deliberation, William decided to send the 16th Division, which had been basically formed, to North America, and at the same time, in Prussia, after deliberations between William and Locks, it was decided to form the 19th and 22nd Divisions after Christmas.

While Wilhelm was looking through the archives of Prussian officers and thinking about the officers of the two new divisions, a piece of information was transmitted to him by Buel's hand.

This information is about Kutuzov.

A few months earlier, Kutuzov had taken a brief respite from the capture of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, before continuing his eastward advance, but had just entered the Russian mainland in the Narva region when he was met by St.

Petersburg's army.

Perhaps it was too smooth along the way, which led to a blind optimism in Kutuzov's army, or it may have been a surprise attack by the St.

Petersburg army that Kutuzov did not expect, in short, in Narva, Kutuzov ushered in his first defeat since the invasion of St.

Petersburg.

St.

Petersburg's army of 40,000 under the leadership of Bagration inflicted heavy losses on Kutuzov in Narva, and also knocked out more than 10,000 of Kutuzov's army, which had swelled to more than 40,000 people.

When Kutuzov led the army to Narva, Bagration personally led 20,000 troops to resist Kutuzov's troops, and could not overcome the enemy on the opposite side for more than a week, so that Kutuzov's energy was all focused on the opposite side, and at this time, Ushakov led the Baltic Fleet to transport nearly 20,000 troops and suddenly landed in Narva Bay.

After more than a week of fighting, Kutuzov's army has become a tired soldier, and Bagration's two-sided attack has made Kutuzov's army unable to take care of each other, and under various factors, Bagration has won a complete victory!

Born in 1765, Bagration can be said to be one of the representatives of the Russian Imperial Youth, born in the Georgian royal family, Bagration joined the Caucasian Fusilier Regiment in 1782, and then successfully entered the eyes of Suvorov with his noble birth and superior performance in previous conflicts with the Turks.

And when Suvorov led his army to the Black Sea region, he personally took Bagration to meet Paul I, and Suvorov praised him as "the flower of the famous generals of the empire!"

”。

And the man, who was praised by Suvorov as the flower of fame, finally proved himself in Narva.
