After coming out of Louise's bedchamber, William felt that his head had become bigger, and Cristiny, who was violently reprimanded by Louise again, looked even more aggrieved.
"Well, Christine, don't be weeping, you should think so, if Neville behaves well, then wouldn't he be a great member of the royal family?
Won't anyone oppose you then?
” Under William's guidance, Christine gradually looked better, and seeing this situation, William said: "If you really like Neville, and he also likes you, then Brother Wang will definitely support you, but you should also know that it is not easy for the two of you to walk together, so there will definitely be these difficulties, and then you have to be mentally prepared!"
After sending Christine back to her bedchamber and looking at the sunset in the sky outside, William felt a great confusion in his mind.
After a while, William decided not to think about these things anymore. .....................................
On behalf of the British government, Fox formally received a diplomatic note from the Prussians, and the Prussian government formally expressed the hope that the British government would consider ending the state of war with France.
When he received the official letter from the Prussian government, Fawkes was taken aback, although he had already known the news of the arrival of the French negotiating mission to Brandenburg, but he did not expect that in just one week, the Prussians and the French would make a breakthrough.
"Hurry up and send this document to London!"
Fawkes immediately handed the official document to one of the attendants in the embassy, and waited until the attendant left.
Fawkes's mind began to think about the article behind the matter.
Since the French were able to convince the Prussians, it is foreseeable that the French must have paid a great price.
Whether or not any of these costs were directed at the British was a focus of Fox's concern.
In fact, when the alliance between Britain and Prussia began to break down, Fawkes knew that the war between the two countries in France should end soon, after all, with the deterioration of Anglo-Prussian relations, it would not be good for Prussia to continue fighting in France.
And what really worries Fox is.
Once the Coalition did cease fighting in France, and after France and Spain surrendered one after another, Prussia was the one who wanted to see Britain as the monster of war.
To know.
At present, with the loss of strength of Russia, Spain, France and other traditional European powers, Prussia's dominance of the European continent has become a fact, and in this war.
The territory of the Prussians was greatly expanded.
In this case.
Post-war Europe is bound to become a situation of confrontation between the two powers, even though the alliance treaty between Britain and Prussia has not yet reached the deadline, but for the high-level, the so-called agreement is just a piece of waste paper, when it is needed, then it will be torn up!
As the war progressed, Prussia had grown into a behemoth.
In this case, Fox was visionary.
There will be a great war between Prussia and England, and the victor will undoubtedly take the hegemony of all of Europe!
In this case, the British need to change their previous policy and start choosing puppets and supporting them on the continent, only in this way can they help Britain overwhelm Prussia in the future!
In the end, Fox wrote down his opinions on paper, and Fox's opinions added up to thousands of words, which was later called the "Fox Proposal".
The emergence of this proposal marks the official end of the honeymoon period of Yingpu.
London.
The British negotiating mission in Lisbon made a breakthrough with the Spaniards, who promised to cede Gibraltar and its overseas colonies, but Spain demanded to keep some of its colonies in South America, otherwise the Spaniards would rather fight.
For Spain, Spain may accept the loss of colonies in the West Indies, Mexico in Central America, the Philippines in Southeast Asia, and North America, but Spain must not lose its colonies in South America, including Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Colombia.
In addition, the South American colonies provided Spain with a large amount of money each year, and these revenues were even twice as much as the taxes of Spain itself.
If it loses its South American colonies, then not to mention that Spain wants to maintain its status as a second-rate power in the world, I am afraid that Spain will suddenly become the last country in Europe.
As for the British, they certainly wanted to get Spain's colonies in South America, but the British also knew that it was obviously impossible to take all the colonies.
Therefore, after several rounds of deliberations, the Spanish government agreed to cede to the coalition forces the remaining colonies of Guatemala, Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Spanish colonies on other continents, in addition to the retention of colonies such as Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, and Bolivia.
These colonies ceded by Spain can be said to be a huge cake, and it is important to know that these colonies ceded by Spain alone are equivalent to the area of Prussia.
Although the Philippines, the West Indies and part of Mexico in Southeast Asia were to be divided among the Prussians, the colonies left by the British were the main ones this time.
Of course, in order to appease the Dutch, the British government decided to assign Ecuador to the Netherlands.
And just when the British government was excited about the British Empire's expansion of territory, the official letter from Prussia poured cold water on the heads of all British officials.
The Prussians actually agreed to the French sue for peace, and Prussia officially acted as an intermediary in accordance with the alliance agreement, hoping that Britain and France would also be able to reach peace.
"The Prussians were simply insane, and they repeatedly provoked the British Empire.
This attitude alone is not a pity to die!
” Sitting on the throne, the hideous look on George III's face was not hidden in the slightest.
"Little Pete.
Look what the Prussians are trying to do!
We have made many concessions, but the Prussians are still pressing, do they want to go to war with us?

” George III asked Pete angrily, and when he heard George III's words, Pete Jr. also said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not in any way surprising that the Prussians agreed to the request of the French for peace, after all, with the events of Hanover.
Prussia is already at odds with us, and how can Prussia concentrate on helping us against the French in such a situation.
Look at me.
The Prussians undoubtedly wanted to end the war in France and stabilize the newly occupied areas, and had achieved the effect of self-cultivation.
In fact, for our country, there is no need to decide to be angry, after all, the stalemate in France continues.
It is also extremely unfavorable for our country.
The war in France has caused a large deficit in the country's finances.
At the beginning, the minister had advised us that we should end the war in France before this winter, and that an armistice with France would not be contrary to our interests now!
” Little Pete thought for a while and then said to George III, but it was clear that Little Pete's opinion was simply contrary to George III's.
"But we haven't taken Paris yet!
Damn the Bourbons are still laughing at us across the channel!
” "Your Majesty, now France is simply not enough to be an enemy of our Kingdom of Great Britain, you should understand that with the change in the situation in Europe.
Now our only enemy in Europe is our former ally - Prussia!
In this case, the armistice with the French was well received in favor of our next move against the Prussians!
” Even though George III was unwilling.
But after several times of persuasion by Pete Jr., George III finally agreed.
December 20, 1793, on this day of Christmas In Brussels, in the Netherlands, representatives of Britain, Prussia, and the Netherlands formally signed an armistice agreement with representatives of France and Spain.
Like the Spaniards, the armistice cost France a large number of overseas colonies, including Vietnam to Prussia, French India to the British, French Canada to the British and Prussia, the area thirty miles north of Paris to the English Channel was ceded to the British government, and the Netherlands received French Guiana and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
Compared to Spain, France's colonies were not greatly weakened, and the reason for this situation was also because the intrigue between the British and the Prussians made the French pick up a big bargain!
The Prussians wanted to withdraw their troops from France as soon as possible, and in the eyes of the Prussian upper echelons, a France that retained a certain amount of strength could help Prussia contain the interests of the British, after all, with the northern part of the French mainland occupied by the British, the hatred between Britain and France had been deeply planted.
As for the British, their views were actually the same as those of the Prussian leadership.
The British government believed that a France that retained a certain strength could help Britain contain Prussia on the European continent, after all, with the great expansion of Prussia after the war, the power of the Prussians had aroused the alarm of the British, and the British knew that they were not the opponents of the Prussians on land, so the British government decided to support France to achieve the role of containing the Prussians on the European continent.
In this way, both countries can be said to be soft-hearted towards France, and this situation suddenly overjoyed the French, who thought they would hand over most of their overseas colonies like the Spaniards, but now they surrendered only one-third of the French overseas colonies.
(Although the area in Canada is very large, because of the weather, Canada cannot be effectively developed in the current era, so it is said that it is one-third of the French overseas colonies) The armistice signed by the five countries in Brussels was of epoch-making significance for the whole of Europe, because with the signing of the armistice, Prussia officially stood out from the European powers and officially became a great power second only to Britain.
After the signing of the armistice, Britain lived up to its title as the world's number one power, and Britain widened the gap with other countries.
And the Netherlands.
It has also been expanded in this war, although the benefits it has received are not comparable to those of Britain and Prussia, but the payoff and return are also considerable.
As for France.
Although it ceded some colonies and parts of the mainland, because it retained a lot of strength, it is foreseeable that if France can pacify the revolutionary parties in the south and unify the voices of the country, then the resurgence of France can still be expected.
Spain is arguably the unluckiest of the five.
But for all of Spain, the signing of the peace agreement allowed the Spanish government to continue to survive. ..................................
December 22, 1793.
Prussia officially withdrew its troops from France, with the exception of the 14th and 6th Divisions, which would be stationed in the Netherlands, three Imperial divisions in Frankfurt, and the rest of the army returning directly to Brandenburg to be inspected by Wilhelm.
It's Christmas again.
The Brandenburg royal palace is lit up.
William was teasing little Eric in his arms.
During this time, William's fawning over little Eric still had a very significant effect, at least Eric no longer rejected William's arms, and he would show William a smile when he was happy.
Looking at Christine, who was sitting not far away with a sad face, William wanted to be comforted, but he didn't know where to start.
Last month, Louise summoned Neville to the Brandenburg Palace, not only Louise herself, but also a large group of members of the Hohenzollern royal family, including some close relatives and elders.
In the process, Neville's performance was undoubtedly somewhat substandard.
At least its trembling attitude and often speechless performance have given it a low score in the royal family.
In order to restrain Cristinie from associating with Neville, Louise personally ordered Cristini to be placed under house arrest in the palace.
Even Cristinie figured out when Cristinie would be allowed to go out of the palace for activities.
Louise's order was like a bolt from the blue for Cristiny, but Louise's attitude represented all members of the royal family, and William, who had always supported Cristine, was also very dissatisfied after seeing Neville's performance, so Cristinie had no choice but to give in.
It has to be said that Karl of Austria immediately sent someone to Brandenburg to propose marriage to Wilhelm after the country was pacified, hoping to marry Christine, and promised that he only wanted to marry Christine, and he would never want it in Lithuania.

Karl's request was supported by Anna, who believed that as Prussia's power became stronger, Austria should change its attitude, and that it would be good for the Habsburgs to be close to the Hohenzollern royal family at this time.
However, Karl's proposal was rejected by Christine himself, and it was very coincidental that the Prince of England Ernst also sent someone to propose marriage to William, and the conflict between the two because of Christine became a matter of conversation again in the upper echelons of Brandenburg with the arrival of the two envoys.
However, apparently Christine still has Neville in mind, and she refuses all of Carl and Ernst's proposals, and even Christine says to William: If you want to marry her to Ernst or Karl, then unless she dies.
Seeing Christine's resoluteness, William was distressed and compromised.
According to the original assumption, William assured that his two-year commitment had not changed, but if Neville still could not improve after two years, then Cristini had to die, and in the face of William's tough attitude, Cristini finally agreed.
On Christmas night, a grand banquet was held in the royal palace of Brandenburg.
Almost all the Prussian nobles gathered in the royal palace, including those areas that had just been occupied by Prussia, and sent emissaries to congratulate them.
Just as Wilhelm had entered the hall to give a speech, suddenly a delegate from Frankfurt walked out of the queue and shouted to Wilhelm, who was standing at the top: "Your Majesty, His Majesty Maximilian, the Holy Roman Emperor, specially sent me and others to congratulate His Majesty, and at the same time, His Majesty Maximilian hopes that His Majesty will accept His Majesty's concession in accordance with the heavens!"
These words immediately shocked everyone in the palace hall.
William was never short of ambitions for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and everyone knew this, but it was not clear when William would ascend to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire.
And now, as the words of this nobleman landed, everyone could foresee that the time was ripe for William to ascend to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Prussians did not want to wait any longer!
Everyone thinks that this nobleman was arranged by William, after all, at this time, he opened his mouth to persuade William to ascend the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and ordinary people did not dare to talk nonsense, and since this person dared to say it, then he must have no fear.
But in fact, everyone blamed William, this scene was really not arranged by William, and even William was a little stunned after hearing this.
And not long after this man's words landed, the palace hall began to slowly quiet, and at this time, after Henry and Locks glanced at each other, they both came out at the same time and saluted William and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Maximilian is sincere, and please ask Your Majesty to accept Chan Rang and be crowned emperor!"
