At this time, the city of Paris, France!
"Your Majesty, recognizing America as a country will offend Britain."
"This will deepen the conflicts in the empire, and may start a new war at this time!"
"In the eyes of those colonial countries, our support of America is provoking them!"
Louis XVI said nonchalantly: "The revenge of America must be avenged!"
"America is just a new country. Recognizing its existence will only let the world know our generosity!"
"Continue to assist America. As long as they can defeat Britain, we will recognize their national status and trade with Britain!"
Everyone was silent, probably agreeing deep down.
Cooperating with America is in line with their interests in the Americas, especially the East Coast, where they need ports.
The French Empire decided to continue to increase its assistance to America.
But they did not pay any attention to the bottom class of France. Their people were already suffering enough, and the annual taxes drained them almost dry.
Moreover, the French Empire, under the wave of the industrial age, is actively turning to industrialization, and factories are rising from the ground.
Factories need workers, and workers have higher wages.
A high salary means a high income and the ability to buy more things.
Against this background, countless young people who could not afford agricultural taxes began to flock to Paris.
Large tracts of farmland have become barren, and income inequality has left fewer and fewer people farming.
…
And in Europe, Britain.
"Reverse, reverse!"
"These thugs!"
The news of the founding of America spread quickly to London, and was learned by George III. His anger was poured on him, and he was out of control!
The British courtiers and parliamentarians seemed to be humiliated at this moment, and they were extremely livid!
Colonies become independent and a country is established!
This is simply not looking down upon their British colonial empire!
Chi Guoguo’s provocative behavior!
"A bunch of rabble dares to challenge our British majesty!"
"Send the order, dispatch the fleet, I don't want to see the name America exist again!"
"Yes!" The British generals have long wanted to fight this war. Military merit is the fastest promotion channel for those who join the army.
But in the peaceful world we stay in, there will be no military exploits.
"Your Majesty, please don't act on impulse!" Old Peter reminded.
This sentence immediately angered George III, and he glared at the other party's calm face.
"Prime Minister, shouldn't we destroy America?"
Old Pete shook his head: "That's not the case, but there is something fishy about this matter!"
"Your Majesty, when the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Congress announced the establishment of America, he visited Liu Zheng, the chief assistant of Long Yan."
"He came to America today, and it happened that our colonies in this world declared independence, and he established a country so simply!"
"I'm afraid there will be the impetus of Long Yan behind this matter."
"If Long Yan wants to promote the founding of America, what should we do?"
George III sneered and said arrogantly: "Long Yan wants to fight, then fight!"
"We will stay with you until the end!"
"Deploy the fleet. Long Yan's supply ship dares to stop us and destroy them directly!"
After receiving the order, Marshal Oz of the British Navy's eyes froze, and then he said in a deep voice with a slightly evil and excited tone: "Yes!"
Old Pete frowned and shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this kind of matter needs to be discussed by the parliament. You can't make such an arbitrary decision."
King George III sneered and said.
"Then let's vote by a show of hands as the Prime Minister said."
"Who agrees and who opposes."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
On one side is the Prime Minister, who is also the Speaker. After the constitutional monarchy, the power of the king is limited.
Only the Prime Minister has the final say on many things.
On one side is the king. Although the king's power has been limited, he is already the leader of Britain, and their changes are not thorough.
It's not like Longyan, where the king has directly become a mascot.
The king's power is only partially limited, that's all!
He still has discretionary power over officials!
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, thinking about how to face this struggle between the king and the prime minister.
Britain's finance minister stood up and said: "I agree to send troops!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at the proud posture of the Finance Minister. It was obvious that he had decided to side with the king.
In addition to the king and prime minister, Britain also has the most powerful person, the finance minister!
He is directly in charge of the lifeblood of Britain's top leaders, money!
Britain was a country that relied on free trade to connect its colonies.
Even the exploitation is only about money.
Seeing that the finance ministers were all on the king's side, they immediately knew how to make a choice.
Soon the first person stood up.
"I agree, I agree!"
"I also agree..."
Old Pete frowned when he saw that all the British courtiers were standing against him.
"Is this okay?" George III looked at Old Pete and said indifferently.
Old Pete said with a livid face: "According to the regulations, more than half of the votes must be approved by the members!"
George III chuckled, knowing that this was where Old Pete's confidence lay.
Because Pete Sr.'s party had half of the MPs.
Without their consent, the proposal would never have passed.
But at this moment, behind Old Pete, the minister second only to the Prime Minister stood up and said in a deep voice: "I agree!"
Hearing the sound, Old Pete's expression changed.
Immediately behind him, more members of his political party came to oppose him.
"You, you guys!"
"Sorry Prime Minister, they gave too much."
Old Peter's face changed drastically. His party had now all betrayed him and all stood on the side of the king.
People who have no past also choose to abstain.
Except for people like Newton who were completely uninterested in politics and did not come, a total of 484 members of Congress had made their choices.
They all support the fight against Long Yan and America!
They all agreed with the king's order, but Old Peter took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what you are doing is really pushing Britain into the abyss!"
"Long Yan is too advanced. We can't keep up with their technology. Even our battleships can compete with Long Yan."
"Then who can guarantee that Long Yanjun's army will not have any new weapons!"
"And I also heard that Long Yan is promoting a new type of transportation vehicle in Europe, but not in Britain!"
"Your Majesty, you have to understand!"
George III smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "So what, if Long Yan dares to block our way, then he must pay the price!"
