Whether Prussia dies or not, it will not affect British interests.
But George III still ordered to give Prussia more financial assistance so that they could persist.
This was not at all due to George III's conscience, but out of interests.
In any case, the existence of Prussia now will help Britain attract the troops of other hostile countries.
It allows Britain to rapidly expand its overseas colonies.
Britain had annexed many colonial areas in Africa and America.
This allowed Britain to develop even more rapidly.
George III continued to glance downwards, and when he saw Scotland's request for reinforcements, he simply ignored it.
Scotland is now fighting Swedish forces.
Scotland is next to Sweden. Although Sweden is a large country, its population is very small.
Relatively speaking, the military strength should be even smaller.
But the Swedes were very brave and good at fighting. They were fighting the British troops, and the British troops were defeated steadily by the Swedish army.
There was no way to resist the Swedish army's attack.
But George III did not pay too much attention to such consecutive defeats.
Although Britain and Scotland are merged into one country, they are one country.
But the British royal family and the Scottish royal family have always been at odds.
So it was also Britain, but the British troops in Scotland were defeated by the Swedish army.
Regardless of what happened in Britain, George III had no plans to increase his troops.
After reading this information, at this moment a man in research clothes came over and looked at George III and bowed.
King George III looked at him and asked calmly: "How is the research on the Dreadnought-class battleship going?"
The man placed a design drawing from his arms in front of George III. He said in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the preliminary design draft of the Dreadnought-class battleship has been completed."
"The assembly and production of the No. 1 experimental machine is now underway."
Hearing the progress of this research, George III frowned slightly and was very dissatisfied.
In his opinion, the progress of this research can be said to be very slow.
"It's been so long and you haven't even built a test machine?"
"Isn't it just to enlarge our battleships and replace our steam engines with Long Yan's giant steam engines? Why is it so troublesome?" George III said very dissatisfied.
The researchers were filled with emotion after hearing this.
George III really didn't understand technology, but as the person in charge of the Dreadnought-class battleship, he had to explain this matter to him.
"Dear Your Majesty, it is not our intention to delay the progress."
"Rather, the research on Dreadnought-class warships shows that no other country has ever built such a huge warship except Long Yan."
"And although the Longyan people sold us a giant steam engine, this machine needs to match our warship."
"There's a lot of debugging that needs to be done to get it into optimal operating condition, which is extremely difficult."
"It's the most time-consuming."
"The No. 1 test machine can produce drawings and production in such a short time."
"This all relies on Newton and Stephenson, otherwise we would have to spend a lot of time studying it."
After hearing these words, George III frowned even more tightly.
I didn't expect that developing a Dreadnought-class battleship would be so troublesome, but fortunately, I don't need to fight the Dragon Flames now.
But time is also very tight. After all, no one knows when Long Yan may suddenly come up with an invention that completely confuses Britain.
This is not a good thing for them.
King George III sighed and said, "Speed up the progress."
"yes."
George III frowned tightly, thinking of Newton and Stephenson mentioned by the researcher just now, and asked: "Did the two people you mentioned help you?"
The researcher nodded.
George III had a bad premonition.
He knew Newton. Newton's talent was impressive and he always had a lot of ideas.
And these ideas have been confirmed by others to be correct.
Not only that, Newton was also a member of Congress.
Although he had no power, George III was always deeply influenced by his belief in scientists. Not long ago, George helped him solve a difficult problem.
A problem that Newton was not good at was economics.
As for the reason, it was because the Parliament blocked his other research time.
But this guy Newton actually wants to follow the Longyan people to go to Longyan!
This made George III unbearable.
How could such important scientific talents be lost?
Therefore, at the behest of George, an order of house arrest was issued.
As for the other person, he had no idea...
It was as if he had never heard of this name.
"Stephenson..." George III murmured.
He looked at the researcher and asked, “Who is this person from?”
The researcher answered truthfully: "A mechanical engineer full of strange ideas has a very deep understanding of steam engines. The steam engines he improved have better performance."
"Such a little person, Your Majesty, it's normal that you don't know him. After all, he has no reputation."
I see.
George III nodded. He had some interest in Stephenson. Britain is now lacking talents.
Ever since the advent of the steam engine, he had been very curious about these strange ideas.
After all, before the advent of the steam engine, no one looked down upon this invention.
They all think that steam engines are of little use and use boiling water and hot air to move. This sounds like a fantasy.
But the results were too surprising.
It was the invention of the steam engine that changed the entire world.
The rise of textile machines greatly increased the economic benefits of crops such as cotton.
But until then, people may not have expected this.
George III is now very concerned about such ideas. Maybe there will be an invention behind these ideas that can change the world.
George III, who the researchers looked at, hesitated for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing this, George III said: "But it doesn't matter."
The researcher then said: "He wanted the steam engine to walk on the ground, just like a carriage."
Hearing this idea, George III suddenly laughed.
Letting steam engines walk on the ground is simply a fantasy.
If a steam engine could operate on the road, it would have to be at least as large as a ship.
This is equivalent to driving the ship to land.
This is absolutely impossible. As we all know, it is impossible for a ship to walk on land, and even if it can walk, how can it be possible to hit the road with such a size?
George III smiled and shook his head, discarding his previous thoughts because he thought too much.
