"It's too much!"
France.
See the military newspaper.
Louis XV, with cloudy eyes, stood up with a slap on the table, his eyes showing anger.
Just now, their naval fleet was completely annihilated by the British navy in Alexandria, Egypt!
Not only that, the Emperor also asked France to pay 10 million silver dollars in war compensation!
Louis XV's head was so angry that it was smoking!
They lost the Seven Years' War and retreated. The scramble for North America was lost and they retreated.
Now, the hateful Britons have snatched away the coast of Egypt which they had just conquered;
They took the initiative to provoke the war. Not content with destroying their naval fleet, they actually demanded war reparations from them!
"You're really riding on my neck and shitting, and you're asking me for paper!"
No matter how stupid Louis XV was, he could not bear this grievance.
How unreasonable!
"His Majesty……"
"This Britain really is..."
"Your Majesty, we must give them some good looks!"
A group of ministers were also filled with indignation.
What an empire on which the sun never sets!
When France was rampant throughout Europe, Britain was still a bunch of barbarians, a bunch of little brothers! France is the overlord of the entire Mediterranean and the inheritance of Catholicism!
Now, these grandsons are riding on their heads to shit again and again!
fed up!
Louis XV was even more livid.
Recently, France has been preparing for war nationwide, and the target is the Suez Canal! Good guy, this Britain is totally hitting the muzzle of the gun!
"Beat me! Beat me to death! Let these hateful Angsa people know the anger of us Gauls!"
Louis XV was really angry. The previous wars had filled his heart with anger. Even if the ministers wanted to take advantage of Britain's weakness in Australia, he stopped them;
After all, successive years of war have greatly depleted France's national strength. They need to recharge their batteries to deal with the threat from the Eastern Slavs...
I wanted to shake hands with you and make peace, but you kicked me in the face!
What nonsense are you talking about? Fight!
"Your Majesty, we can't fight!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that the British people have recovered their strength, and with the new victory in the naval battle, it is the time when morale is at its peak. A full-scale war will break out at this time, which will not be good for us!"
"Your Majesty, Tsarist Russia is eyeing the north, and Prussia is also rising. At this time, we cannot be chaotic!"
Of course, there are people who support it, and there are people who are against it.
Louis XV's anger still frightened many people.
France, the sun has already set...
Britain is indeed a bit too powerful. Although they suffered a loss from Longyan in Australia, they are still the most powerful overlord in Europe!
What Louis XV just said was just said in anger. He was not a fool. He naturally knew the current situation. However, he would never be able to swallow this breath. No matter what, he would give these British Give me a lesson.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you said you won't fight, you have to find a way, right? Pay compensation? If we pay compensation, our French Empire will really become the laughing stock of the world!"
"Your Majesty, compensation is absolutely impossible. Although they won the battle, it only stops here. Our garrison in Libya is still very strong. If we really want to fight, I think they will also have a headache and ask for money. If we don’t pay, we have to pay compensation. As long as we take this as the bottom line, they shouldn’t dare to go too far.”
France's idea is correct. In fact, Britain just wants to bully them. If they really go to full-scale war with this European power, they will have to bear a heavy price.
After all, France, which has stationed troops in its colonies in Africa, is not playing around with you.
"Your Majesty, the overall situation is our top priority!"
"Your Majesty, we should first deal with the challenge from Long Yan together..."
"His Majesty……"
Louis XV nodded with a cold face.
Tolerate!
Bear with it!
At present, his goal is still Suez!
When Long Yan came to the Mediterranean with great force, a war was inevitable.
There is no need for him to actually go to war with Britain.
The two sides soon signed an armistice agreement:
France recognized Egypt as a British colony, and Alexandria and nearby waters as British territorial waters;
Britain guaranteed that its garrison in Egypt would not expand westward (Libya: French colony).
The Armistice Agreement was signed, and Britain got what they wanted, but for France, this was undoubtedly a humiliation and loss of power.
France is not a nation that tolerates humiliation. On the surface, it cannot defeat Britain, but secretly it will certainly stumble.
They know very well that despite Britain's nominal recognition, Suez belongs to Dragon Flame...
But as the European hegemon, how could Britain be willing to do so?
This time...
When Long Yan's chief assistant comes to Europe, they must still want to make something happen...
It’s fun…
Now it's really fun.
The Suez Canal is an important transportation channel connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. To a certain extent, it is the throat of Europe!
With Gibraltar already under British control, once the Suez Canal also falls into British hands, all of Europe will become fish on the British chopping board, ready to be slaughtered...
France, which was competing for hegemony with Britain, naturally couldn't accept it. Although they couldn't take action directly, they could find agents to cause trouble for the British.
This person is Nashadir!
…
Aboard the Conquest.
On the deck, Liu Zheng carefully took his sleeping brother from Feng Sanniang's hand, held him in his arms, and held him gently.
That's right...
Who would have thought...
This time I want to come to Europe, but do I have to follow you?
Not only that, this careless old woman also brought her little brother who was only two months old...
Liu Zheng naturally tried to dissuade her in various ways, but Feng Sanniang didn't listen.
This father and mother simply regarded their younger brother as a treasure and placed endless hopes on him.
Feng Sanniang insisted on taking him out to "see the world..."
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of this.
See the world?
My brother is only two months old!
There are three advantages and two disadvantages on the ship...
But seeing Feng Sanniang's stubbornness, he had no choice. It can only be equipped with a strong team of doctors and nurses.
In fact, deep down, he understands his parents' good intentions...
Considering the current strength of Liangzhou, there is actually no problem for Liu Zheng to become emperor in Longyan. But it's obvious that he has no interest in the throne at all...
Liu Dahao and Feng Sanniang must have some opinions in their hearts.
Well……
Since you are not the emperor, then let your brother come when the time comes!
Let’s start cultivating now!
only……
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly.
No matter how much you raise it, it's not like this... It's only two months old, dear!
Seeing his biological brother, Liu Zheng's mood was actually very difficult to calm down. In fact, he, Liu Dahao, and Feng Sanniang had similar thoughts... Considering his age, he still hoped that there would be someone who could perfectly inherit the world he had conquered.
Then, Liu Cong is a good choice.
My own brother...
If he was really taken by his side to train him, he would definitely not be any worse.
"Cackle, cluck..."
"Cackle, cluck..."
Little Liu Meng is getting more and more beautiful, especially when Liu Zheng holds him, he will dance happily.
He smiled and said "brother", which made Liu Zheng smile heartily.
It was a kind of comfort that could not be expressed in words. At that moment, the world seemed to be quiet, and the chaos of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Comfortable and quiet.
Holding Liu Meng in his arms, Liu Zheng couldn't help but fell into deep thought:
Why did he work so hard to build Longyan?
After looking down at the sleeping little life, he understood: what he wanted was to let all the people of Long Yan enjoy this simple happiness!
So that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will be able to grow, and the widowed, widowed, lonely and disabled will all be provided for...
"Let me hug you, let me hug you!"
Xie Chan said anxiously on the side. For girls of her age, children are undoubtedly the most attractive.
Just when Xie Chan wanted to hug Liu Meng, the little guy burst into tears.
This crying made both Liu Zheng and Xie Chan feel helpless.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
"Look at how clumsy you are." Feng Sanniang said, taking the child from Liu Zheng's hand.
"Be good, Meng'er. Don't cry. Mom will eat your milk for you."
Although she was a princess, Feng Sanniang was born in the world and did not have so many rules. In addition, there were no outsiders on the deck, so she lifted her coat without any scruples and prepared to breastfeed.
Ah this...
Although Feng Sanniang didn't mind, Liu Zheng definitely couldn't stay here. After informing his parents, he took Xie Chan back to his room.
"Hey, I haven't hugged the baby yet. You have to tell your aunt later and let me hug you!" Xie Chan said coquettishly.
"Hey, it's just a matter of holding a baby. This is not easy. There is a baby of more than 200 months old in front of you. Come on, hold it as you like."
Liu Zheng opened his arms with a smile, but was pushed away by Xie Chan with a "look of disgust".
"shameless."
Xie Chan turned around shyly.
But she could feel how relaxed Liu Zheng was at this moment.
It's really hard for this guy who has always been so serious in the past to flirt with me...
Is it because of the sea?
Or is it because he left the world of intrigue and intrigue?
Xie Chan suddenly felt a little sorry for Liu Zheng.
"So do you like it?"
Liu Zheng hugged Liu Chan directly from behind, and feeling the warmth of Liu Zheng's chest, Xie Chan's body softened.
Thinking that it was still daytime, her face turned even redder...
"How about we both want one." Liu Zheng whispered in Xie Chan's ear.
"Yes, but only after we get married."
Xie Chan's voice was like a mosquito, and her whole body continued to feel soft.
But if you marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, isn't that what it is... Your husband is so powerful, it is human ethics to give him children.
But Xie Tianyao had just passed away, and even though the current Longyan Dynasty had "collapsed etiquette and music" with the establishment of the monarchy, after all, Xie Chan was the daughter of the former emperor Xie Tianyao, so basic etiquette still had to be in place.
I had just brought the new and old nobles together with the scholar-bureaucrat group, and I wanted to give them a sufficient sense of security. If I were to abandon the old system at this time and marry Xie Chan, the newly established trust would inevitably lead to resentment.
"I am the chief assistant of Long Yan, and you are the princess of Long Yan. It is definitely not a small matter for the two of us to have a baby."
"ah?"
Xie Chan didn't understand what Liu Zheng meant.
"I want to say that giving birth is not easy. Should we preview it in advance to see which position has the highest success rate?"
"Bad guy..."
