The news was published in all major newspapers in Britain that day.

“Unjust acts such as the stamp duty and sugar duty were abolished, and even taxes on tea merchants were cut.”

This is a good thing for the British people.

Their resistance has also been reduced due to the cancellation of these policies.

Clintsy looked at the British colonial area that was gradually stabilizing and felt relieved. If the trouble continued, there would definitely be a huge war here!

This is definitely a bad thing for Britain.

Now that the situation has stabilized, it is a good thing for them.

"What will happen to our military spending if Mr. Clancy cancels these taxes?"

asked Clincy's messenger.

Clincy sighed and said: "Let our soldiers hold on a little longer, and assistance from Britain should be coming to us soon."

“With this help, everything can be solved!”



At this time, Britain.

Sheldon returned to Britain to report to George III on the status of the American colonies.

"Your Majesty, since we enacted the Thompson Act, taxes such as tea tax, sugar tax, and stamp duty have increased, stimulating those American immigrants."

"They are fighting for independence every day now."

Upon hearing this, George III was instantly furious!

"What!"

"Send a large army over immediately to teach those immigrants a lesson. Although they are in America, they are also a colony of our British royal family!"

"Should be governed!"

Old Pete, who was standing aside, quickly persuaded George III: "Your Majesty, stop it."

"Now that the war has just ended, if another war is provoked, our financial burden will be further increased."

"And attacking the colonies in the Americas is a completely meaningless internal conflict, which is not in our interests."

"We will eventually compete with Long Yan for supremacy!"

“The urgent need for development is now the top priority.”

Old Peter's earnest persuasion made George III look very ugly.

He looked at Old Pete and said in a cold voice: "Are you the king or am I the king? When does the prime minister need to teach the king how to do things?"

When Old Pete heard this, he didn't know what to say.

He could only lament in his heart.

After the victory in the naval war with France, Britain acquired a large number of colonies.

Their actual control area has reached an unprecedented 35.5 million square kilometers.

The entire territory spreads to Asia, Europe, Africa and the United States, four continents.

Britain has such a vast territory. Some people say that Britain has a vast territory from where the sun rises to where the sun sets.

It's like having a sun that never sets.

Britain, truly known as the empire on which the sun never sets, is its ruler.

It is not an exaggeration to say that George III, the man who held the greatest power in Britain, was dazzled by such a huge achievement.

It was even said that it is human nature, but he forgot his duty.

Forget what is really going on in Britain now.

Although there is such a vast colony, it serves as a large supply of raw materials, which is not a very profitable job.

Moreover, a large amount of resources cannot be developed and utilized in a timely manner.

Nowadays, maritime transportation is very developed, but it is Long Yan who really controls the lifeblood.

The two golden waterways are enough for Long Yan to obtain inexhaustible wealth.

Moreover, most of the raw materials they provide are also provided to Long Yan, who has a more complete industrial system, and Long Yan manufactures products.

It will be sold overseas at a price that is more than ten times higher than that of raw materials, and a large part of it will be returned to Britain.

Long Yan could gain huge wealth in this way, but Britain could only gain a small benefit.

If this continues, Britain owns such a vast land and is just working for Long Yan.

In order to make changes, Britain must vigorously develop industry and let its industrial level catch up with Long Yan.

Improve your own economic interests.

"Your Majesty, the war has just ended and everything has to start again."

"Old Minister, I don't have any other intentions." Old Peter said with great respect.

"Ha." George III sneered.

He said in an indifferent tone: "Continue to send more soldiers to the Americas. As long as there are enough troops, even if the American immigrants want to be independent, they have to see if they have the ability."

Old Pete hesitated for a moment, this was just a temporary solution, not the root cause.

Sooner or later the American immigrants could no longer bear the oppression, and war broke out.

"Prime Minister, what are you still hesitating about? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yes..." Old Peter sighed, he knew why Peter III did this.

Britain will never allow any colony to escape its control.

Especially the American colonies!

This is the lifeblood of their Britain!

The American colonies were a very important colonial area for Britain.

Now in North America, the most powerful one is Longyan, but Longyan City remains neutral, and the current center of power is on the Panama Canal in southern North America.

In northern North America, France has been defeated, and Canada has become a British territory.

The most fertile Great Lakes region also became Britain's possession.

And in the more than 100 years since Britain began to immigrate to the Americas, many of the scientific and technological talents were born in the Americas.

They all made indelible contributions to Britain's industrialization process.

Not only that, the plantations there are also a very important source of cotton for Britain.

Britain could not give up its colonies in America.

Colonies will never be allowed to become independent.

Britain's mainland area in Europe is not very large.

If it weren't for their boundless colonies, they would never have been able to become an empire on which the sun never sets.

It is impossible to have such great strength.

But this is ultimately a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. If war comes again, there is no way Long Yanjun can just stand by and watch.

Whether they favor the colonies under the banner of supporting independence, or wait and see the situation rot, reaping the benefits through arms deals, they will be left in dire straits, and may even have more serious consequences...

The situation is already precarious.

However, it was impossible for Peter III to listen to it anymore.

Britain, which had won the Seven Years' War, looked glorious, but in fact it was difficult to recover its finances in a short time. It relied on absorbing the blood of these colonies to maintain its glory.

If they want to be independent, they are digging up the roots of Britain. Peter III must not indulge these disobedient and unruly people. Even if he is forcibly suppressed, he must make these colonies obedient and pay taxes!

As for the life and death of those immigrants, the development and survival of Britain are more worthy of Peter's attention.

"well!"

First, he looked at the stubborn back of Peter III and sighed again, hoping that Peter III would wake up soon.
