At this moment, Britain, the House of Lords.
George II looked at the information sent by Dick, the talker in the Egyptian colonial area.
Showing a long-lost smile.
Britain and France were feuding.
The British were willing to do anything that was not in favor of France.
If it is beneficial to Britain at the same time as it is detrimental to France, then the British will be very happy to do it.
Dick did such a thing, which was not good for France but good for Britain.
"Yes, Dick did a good job in this matter." George II rarely praised one thing, but this time he rarely used two good things.
The man who led Britain to the top actually used two good ones.
Member of Parliament for Britain, echoed: "Dick has certainly done well in Egypt over the years."
"The agreement reached with the Longyan people is also good."
"It's not just that we can use Long Yan's steam engine to achieve the progress of our technology."
"It can also suppress France and cut off France's route to Africa through the Mediterranean."
George II was in a good mood, and so it seemed to him.
Unexpectedly, Dick only used an iron mine to curb France's development in Africa. The two cities in Egypt are now extremely dependent on France.
Almost most of their African resources are transported across the Mediterranean to their own countries through these two ports.
But now, there are only one or two port cities left.
Moreover, the remaining port city will soon be attacked by himself and the Longyan people.
At that time, France's maritime transportation lines will be in its own hands.
This greatly increased the risks and costs of French maritime transportation, and even plundering from pirates.
And not only that, Dick also acquired Longyan's giant steam engine from Britain.
With this giant steam engine, and after thoroughly studying the technology of this giant steam engine, Britain will be able to form a truly invincible maritime fleet at sea.
Although Britain's maritime army dominates Europe, it is not the best in the world.
The world's number one navy belongs to Long Yan. Long Yan's navy has incomparable equipment advantages.
This kind of equipment advantage cannot be made up for by tactics.
Long Yan’s latest supply ship shocked everyone when it was launched.
When it first entered the Mediterranean, it defeated the interceptor fleet composed of the Franco-Austrian Alliance.
In the second battle, the fleet of the Franco-Austrian Alliance fought against Long Yan's supply fleet in an ambush situation with several times the number.
As a result of the battle, the fleet of the Franco-Austrian Alliance was completely wiped out. Long Yan's fleet finally survived a supply ship. Although it was scarred, he still completed the mission and returned to Long Yan's port in Austria with a ship of supplies. City.
Thinking of this, George II was inexplicably excited. Britain's dominance in the world relied on its unparalleled maritime army.
"Dick deserves a reward," George II said shortly.
But they all knew what George II meant. Dick deserved a reward. How big was the reward?
What is the reward?
This is an intriguing question.
A congressman asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, General Dick has indeed made great achievements, but now General Dick has only reached cooperation with the Longyan people."
"We haven't seen any of the giant steam engines and port cities that were promised in the cooperation. Isn't it unreasonable to rashly reward them like this?"
In fact, the basic meaning is that they don't want to see Dick's reward being too high.
For someone like this who is a talkative person outside the country and has made great contributions to Britain, it is almost certain that he will become a member of Parliament after returning home.
And counting the time in office, Dick is about to return to China.
At that time, there will be one more opponent competing with them for the parliament, which they don't want to see at all.
But the current King of Britain is not a very talkative person.
"What you said makes sense, but why aren't you rewarded for your merit?"
"Dick's ability to negotiate such a deal with Long Yan is already a credit." George II said indifferently.
He continued: "The matter of awarding Dick a reward has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it further."
When all the members heard this, they could not persuade the king no matter how much reluctance they had in their hearts.
This king has always been a man of truth.
Once he decides something, no one can change it. Sometimes they all feel that the House of Lords is just like a decoration.
It did not limit the king's power at all.
Of course, if the Prime Minister exports, there may be some turning points.
The congressman looked hopefully at an old man at the other end of the long table. He was already very old, but his body was in good shape.
Still serving as Prime Minister of Britain.
Feeling all the attention, the British Prime Minister glanced at George II.
George II looked at him indifferently and did not speak.
The Prime Minister tightened his collar, looked at George II, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I also think Dick should be rewarded, but not now."
George II gave him a cold look and didn't ask why, just looked at him quietly.
The Prime Minister ignored George II and instead said to himself: "Now that Dick has just negotiated a deal, it would be rash for us to directly reward him."
"It's better to wait. Dick has finished handling the Dragon Flame matter. When we get those giant steam engines, it won't be too late to give him a reward when we get to the port city."
"So I propose to give Dick a verbal reward now, and not to give a reward for the time being. After this matter is over, I will talk to Dick about the reward."
George II sneered, knowing he would say this.
"Given verbal rewards, there are no practical rewards. Prime Minister, don't you think this is quite chilling?"
The Prime Minister did not answer, and did not need to answer. He just wanted to make His Majesty give in.
Now listening to George II's tone, he knew he had done it.
As long as George II gave in and didn't give Dick a too big reward, that would be fine.
This is enough.
George II also knew what the prime minister meant. For him, face was more important, and awarding a Dick was a trivial matter.
The most important thing is to reward him with something.
In fact, George II's favorite thing was the subordinates who shared his worries. They always appeared when you needed them most.
Why don’t my other congressmen realize this?
"Dika's reward is still the same, but this time I will reward him with some money. We will talk about other things after the deal between him and Long Yan is over."
His Majesty was relieved when he heard what he said. The congressman also breathed a sigh of relief.
They are still very satisfied with the result.
George II was also very satisfied with this result. For him, it was indeed not a good time to reward Dick.
But as a hunting king, he still has to do what he has to do.
