"Giant steam engine!"
"This is the top technology in the world now!"
Everyone was shocked. The reason why Long Yan was powerful was because their technological level was strong enough.
They used giant steam engines to build the most powerful battleships in the world. Otherwise, the Longyan Army would not have such a powerful combat effectiveness.
In the battle in Australia, Long Yan had already proven with actual actions just how powerful their battleships were.
Ten supply ships fought against more than thirty French battleships.
As a result, the French fleet, which could compete with Britain for supremacy, was directly defeated by the Dragon Flame Army and collapsed after this battle.
So much so that France's most important colonies were later cut off by Long Yan, and were now reduced to the point where they were bowing down to Long Yan and shaking hands to make peace.
If Britain now develops the giant steam engine owned by Long Yan, Britain will have its own battleships.
In fact, Britain now has its own Dreadnought-class battleships.
On the St. Laurent River, just one Dreadnought-class battleship took down France's supply line. Even with their site advantage, they couldn't destroy the ship, let alone now.
"We can't win, and the people won't support us now."
Everyone sighed and said, this is the conclusion they came to together.
George did not speak. He would not scold these people for their cowardice, because the situation did not seem to be the worst now.
The Boston Massacre has been suppressed by Clancy, even if the stamp tax, sugar tax and other unequal bills that force taxation are enacted.
The people are now only protesting verbally, and no organization has actually opposed the British colonial government.
Everything is not in its worst state yet.
These congressmen also believe that there is still room for maneuver in everything, and everything can still be discussed and waited.
"Okay." George spread his hands, turned and left.
He wanted to return to Virginia. American independence could not be promoted by him alone.
But on his way back to Virginia, he saw that the once vast plantations were now becoming deserted.
Shops had no way to turn the cotton into beautiful textiles, and these landowners had no way to make money.
Since the textile machine revolution, the plantation economy relied on textile development.
Now it has begun to decline because of this policy.
The most prosperous and dependent pillar economy in North America, the plantation economy, is now rapidly collapsing, and this collapse is destined to affect other industrial chains.
George, himself a large planter, seemed to have seen that such a situation would soon come.
He frowned, but he couldn't even prevent such a change.
It even needs to be pushed forward.
He wanted to see the British government itself pushing him into the abyss of hell.
…
In the middle of the night, unknown to anyone, the bitter melon planted by King George III for American immigrants finally broke out.
The people cannot bear such heavy taxes.
Stamp duty deprived them of the freedom to write, and they had to pay to even write a word on paper.
Those tea merchants tortured by the tea tax went bankrupt in large numbers.
Sugar tax restricts food, sugarcane, the plant used to make sugar
Due to the sugar tax, the price has increased several times, and under such circumstances, the cost of sugar processing and sales has also increased.
Immigrants living in America do not have any freedom at all.
Inside the school, a teacher said angrily: "They cannot deprive children of their freedom to learn. Such unequal policies should not occur!"
"What right do they have to do this!"
"There is not a single member of the American Parliament in the Parliament of England, so why should they make decisions for us?"
"We absolutely disagree with this decision!"
The direct conflict between the British colonial government and their civilians has gradually deepened, and now it has reached an irreversible point.
Clancy remained blind to everything that was happening now, as if he already knew the outcome when he gave the order.
The thirteen continents established by Britain in America will eventually embark on the road to independence.
One day and one night.
Several men, angry over the tea, boarded a British merchant ship docked in Boston Harbor.
It contains tea leaves from Britain. These tea leaves are imported from Longyan and are sold at a very high price.
"That's them!"
"Pour it all out quickly, pour it out!"
"It's a pity that such good tea... But even if it is destroyed, Britain cannot be allowed to use these tea leaves to oppress us!"
On a ship loaded with imported Longyan tea, boxes of tea were thrown into the sea.
By the next day, the citizens looked towards the port.
The sea water turned from dark blue to brown because of these tea leaves, and the entire Boston harbor was filled with the aroma and resistance of tea leaves!
These tea-drinking American immigrants, disguised as Indians, stood on the ship like heroes and did not leave.
There was a painter who got up early in the morning to look for inspiration and saw the Indians who were still pouring tea leaves on the boat.
Under the new sun, he was reflected like a hero in a fairy tale, and the people on the port admired him endlessly.
“No representation, no taxes!”
“No representation, no taxes!”
They chanted slogans, and people at the port were infected by their actions and shouted in unison: "No representation, no taxes!"
"No representation, no taxes..."
The British commander who was belatedly realized that when he arrived here, he saw that a large number of civilians had gathered at the port, and they were all dumping tea leaves angrily.
He knew that losing his temper was beyond the control of a young officer like him.
"I went back and told Captain Vinod, remember not to shoot, don't shoot!"
"Try to keep a distance from these civilians!"
Seeing the angry civilians, the British soldiers nodded. They knew clearly what the consequences of angering these people would be!
After thinking of this, these soldiers just watched and allowed the American immigrants to throw the tea they were supposed to protect into the sea.
The Boston Tea Party continues.
This time it did not end as quickly as the Boston massacre, but continued to ferment, which was no longer within the control of the British colonial government.
Newspapers reporting this incident quickly spread to the world.
At this time, France was also in turmoil.
The day after his reconciliation with Liu Zheng, Louis XV contracted smallpox.
After Madame Dubarly, who had been having a romantic affair with him for a night, discovered that Louis XV suddenly had pimples with disgusting pus and pus on his body, her stomach was churning and she was extremely frightened.
The disease smallpox has been spreading for hundreds of years and has not been eradicated by humans until now.
Many of them believed that it was a curse from the devil, a plague that everyone would experience.
If you can't resist it, you can only fall into hell.
And Louis XV was already very old. He obviously failed to survive and fell into hell.
But this time Louis XV did not receive the blessings from the French people.
Instead, it was spurned.
His weakness and broken promises disappointed the people who once trusted him. The Seven Years War failed and domestic economic problems were not solved.
Even now, there are many organizations like the Jacobin Club that oppose the monarchy. All of this should be attributed to this monarch who has done nothing.
But the royal family did not prepare a simple funeral for Louis XV for such reasons.
It was because he was infected with smallpox that an extremely simple funeral was prepared for him under the dissuasion of the archbishop.
