It is better to be scolded than to perish.
If France really fought with Britain during that period, Louis XV pessimistically believed that France had no chance of winning.
That's why Louis XV adopted such a policy.
Soon, the negative effects of this policy were exposed, but Louis XV said there was not much problem with these.
Under the autocracy of Louis XV.
No one could say no in front of him.
Looking back now, Louis XV sighs.
But if he is given another chance to choose to reconnect, he will still choose this way.
This policy successfully extended the life of the French dynasty for more than ten years.
Louis XV felt that this was enough.
As for the issue of the Holy See, France is a traditional Catholic country, and the Pope’s residence is located within France.
A very small place.
With the Pope so close to the French royal family, it was natural that the French royal family would be influenced by Catholicism to a certain extent.
When Louis XIV, the grandfather of Louis XV, was on the throne, the influence of the Pope was not very apparent.
That's because Louis XIV, the man known as the Sun King, was powerful enough.
It is so powerful that even the Pope is afraid of it.
The divine power of that period did not invade the French royal family.
But after Louis XV came to power, he fell into a rather embarrassing situation.
His ability is definitely not as good as his grandfather Louis XIV.
Moreover, he is a very devout Catholic, and he must obey the words of the Pope, the Lord's spokesman in the world.
Even the prime minister he served was a Catholic archbishop.
This also led to the intrusion of theocratic power into the center of power in France.
Now the imperial power has declined.
Louis XV lay on his soft horsehair mattress, which was extremely soft.
He looked up at the ceiling of the Trianon and fell into a long daze.
At this time, Louis XV's favorite woman, Madame Pompadour, came to visit him.
Madame Pompadour looked at Louis XV in a daze, and sat next to him without saying a word, looking at Louis XV.
Much later, Louis XV discovered Madame Pompadour.
He turned his head, looked at Madame Pompadour, and smiled lightly.
Perhaps only this woman can bring him the last bit of warmth.
Louis XV thought so.
…
At this time, on the other side of Europe.
Britain.
It's different from France.
Since the Industrial Revolution, wealthy capital, whether aristocrats or businessmen, has reshaped the power structure.
During the Industrial Revolution, too many new industries broke out, triggering a series of changes, which had a relatively large impact on the traditional aristocracy.
Britain's traditional aristocrats fell behind very quickly in their traditional planting techniques during the Industrial Revolution.
New crops and the construction of factories allowed many merchants to defeat the so-called large estate owners.
Large tracts of land poured into the pockets of these businessmen. At the same time, due to the rapid economic development, Britain launched a series of new economic policies.
Under these policies, the power of the established nobles was further weakened.
But according to the situation in Britain, if these businessmen want to become new nobles, they must have the blood of the nobles.
For this reason, many merchants entered into marriage alliances with nobles through their descendants.
Because of this, many down-and-out nobles were honored as guests of honor.
They gained great wealth, and the merchants also gained noble status.
There are more and more such businessmen, and nobles have the ability to enter power.
In the end, after a series of complex struggles, the power of capital won this war without gunpowder.
The declining British nobility and royal family could only compromise.
They signed on to a constitutional monarchy.
The King of Britain will lose most of his power, and the power of Britain will be decided jointly by members of Parliament.
But George III did not become Britain's royal ornament, a mascot called a king.
Although Congress limited the king's power in the signed treaty, it did not completely limit it.
George III still had very great power, and he ruled the entire Parliament.
But Britain has truly become a constitutional monarchy like Long Yan.
But the difference is that Long Yan's emperor is really a mascot and does not have any power in his hands.
But George III, although restricted, still had extraordinary power.
Such a power structure brought glory to Britain, which was undergoing the Industrial Revolution, and did not create the current problems in France.
And even because of the Industrial Revolution, Britain became powerful again.
They even turned Scotland back into Britain.
Britain and Scotland were once again one, making Britain more powerful than ever.
If it is in Europe, Britain says it is second, but no one dares to say it is first.
But throughout the world, Britain is still afraid of that mysterious eastern country.
A country called Dragon Flame.
If calculated from a time perspective, Britain should have entered the Industrial Revolution earlier than Long Yan.
However, Long Yan's current technological level has long surpassed Britain's, and it is not a transcendence in one aspect, but a transcendence in all aspects.
This made Shan Britain feel very panicked.
The research on the Dreadnought-class battleship was carried out under Long Yan's panic.
Longyan's supply ship.
A battleship used for supplies, but it defeated all European battleships.
In order to maintain its position as maritime supremacy, Britain invested heavily in building Dreadnought-class battleships.
But what is more embarrassing is that the core power of such a Dreadnought-class battleship, which is used to compete with Long Yan, is actually Long Yan's giant steam engine.
This is simply ridiculous.
At this moment, George III was sitting in Buckingham Palace and asked how the warships were being built.
This is what George III is most worried about. For them, France is almost no match for them.
Their maritime fleet is too weak, as is France's most powerful army.
Their British mainland is separated from the French mainland by a vast ocean. If the other side wants to attack from land, they can only choose to take a boat.
But France's naval strength is not strong.
Britain could prevent the French from landing at sea, and their army had no use at all.
George III lazily looked at the recent European war situation, and read that the Prussian Army and the Longyan Army jointly resisted the Holy Crusaders attacking France.
Seeing such information, George III did not pay too much attention.
Although Britain was an ally of Prussia, the life and death of Frederick II did not have much impact on him.
