As the main bystander of the incident, Daming was in a relatively calm state of watching the show.
But the person involved was not in such a good mood.
News from New York and the United States, and Adams's request came one after another, and the British royal family and the government and the public were stunned.
I started holding intensive meetings every day, but I couldn't come up with any useful ideas.
King George III, who had been sober for two months, fell ill again, and his condition was unprecedentedly serious.
His favorite youngest daughter and his only granddaughter were kidnapped by the rebels together. Even a healthy person might fall into despair. George III, who was already mentally ill, could not withstand such stimulation.
The Prince of Wales, as regent, was once again the de facto sole king, but he was far from happy.
His only legal daughter and heir became a hostage of the American rebels.
The key is that the Prince of Wales is clueless about the current situation and has no idea what to do.
There is no guidance on what to do.
In the past two months, the period when his father was sober was the most comfortable two months for the Prince of Wales.
He serves as regent, manages daily affairs and controls the actual power of Britain.
Dad is in poor health and mental condition, and will rarely take the initiative to interfere in his own affairs.
If you encounter any difficult-to-decision problem, you can ask your dad for advice and let him make a decision.
After all, he is his biological father, whose interests are completely consistent with his own, and he can truly be trusted and honored.
Now this life is over and may never come back.
The Prince of Wales has never prayed like this in his life for his father to get well soon.
Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. should be trustworthy, but he could not control Parliament.
When Dad was sober, the relatively stable and harmonious parliament once again turned into a place like a vegetable market.
On another day of daily meetings, in front of the Prince of Wales, the MPs started a new round of quarreling.
Congressman Eagle once again asked the local navy and army to send troops as soon as possible to punish the American rebels.
But the Prince of Wales and a large number of MPs were worried about the safety of the royal family and could not accept it.
However, at the suggestion of William Pitt, Parliament had decided to begin remobilization and began to prepare for the invasion of the United States.
There are radical congressmen who demand frank negotiations with the United States and allow it to become independent.
This was opposed by most MPs. If independence is allowed in the future if there is a fuss, how can the United Kingdom be united?
There are also conservative congressmen who suggest inviting other countries to mediate, compromise on interests and maintain the status quo.
The most conservative plan has the most approval, but it still cannot win the approval of the majority of parliamentarians.
Radicals believed that the interests of the mainland and the North of America could not be reconciled and that negotiations would be fruitless.
The hawks believe that they cannot negotiate with the rebels before they are at a disadvantage in the war.
There are many more people complaining that the capital of the Kingdom of America should not have been placed in New York.
It should have been set up from the beginning in places like Richmond, Wilmington, or Charleston in the safer south. ….
The Prince of Wales watched them quarreling for several days, and finally shouted a few times angrily:
"Before you argue about how to deal with the United States, first find a way to save my daughter, sister, and brother!"
The scene was quiet for a while, and then Prime Minister Pitt spoke again:
"Your Highness, in order to rescue the three Your Highnesses, we must make a gesture to start negotiations with the rebels.
"And sent personnel to Beiyinzhou to contact the rebels, stating that the release of the three His Highnesses is a prerequisite for formal negotiations.
"We ask third-party countries to come forward, or the international coalition to come forward, to gain the trust of the rebels."
The Prince of Wales thought Pitt's plan was acceptable.
But someone immediately stood up and asked
:
"It is absolutely impossible for the rebels to release the three Highnesses without the promise of independence.
"So what the Prime Minister is saying is that we commit to allow American independence in the presence of the League of Nations?
"And then allow them to be truly independent, or renege on their commitments again and undermine the political credibility of the United Kingdom?"
Peter was already prepared, and he directly explained his plan at this time:
"What I mean is that they can be allowed some independence.
"According to our understanding, after the establishment of the Kingdom of America, the independence tendency in most areas has faded.
"The only places where independence trends are still very strong are in a few states north of Virginia.
"Their purpose for independence is to raise tariffs and protect local factories and enterprises.
“The raw material origins that our local factories rely on happen to be outside these states.
"So my suggestion is to separate these states from the Kingdom of the United States, establish a Grand Duchy of New York, and let Princess Amelia become the Grand Duke of New York.
"The Grand Duchy of New York remains a protectorate under the United Kingdom, but enjoys greater autonomy than the Kingdom of the United States.
"Allow them to determine their own import and export tariffs and protect their industries.
"They should be able to accept this as a condition for releasing the three His Highnesses."
Monroe is in Yinzhou, and now there is no one in the British Parliament who represents American interests.
The other representatives thought about it and found that Pitt's plan had taken compromises to the extreme.
Pitt planned the scope of the Grand Duchy of New York, which was roughly from Maryland to Massachusetts, with about 200,000 square kilometers of land, almost one-sixth of the entire United States.
By allowing the Grand Duchy of New York to have its own tariffs, the only loss for the United Kingdom is that local manufacturers can no longer dump goods locally at will.
If possible, representatives representing the interests of local British manufacturers certainly do not want to accept this kind of loss.
But now there is no better option.
The key is that this compromise and compromise is to save the three royal members,
Of course there are those who oppose the royal family among the members, but no one has dared to openly oppose the royal family yet.
No one dared to openly clamor for those three royal members.
In that case, they will definitely be targeted and targeted by the Prince of Wales, and they will no longer have to mingle in the United Kingdom's political arena. ….
So the representatives glanced at the Prince of Wales and hesitated for a few seconds, but did not express any objection.
Peter felt that the time was ripe, and turned to look at the Prince of Wales above:
"Your Highness, I think this is the only feasible solution at present, and we can no longer hesitate.
"We should save Princess Charlotte as soon as possible."
The Prince of Wales was obviously stunned when he heard the last part. Thinking of his only legal daughter, he finally made up his mind:
"Okay, let's do it this way. Please ask Prime Minister Peter to make arrangements immediately!"
Today's meeting finally made some progress. After the relevant decisions were documented on the spot, the meeting was immediately adjourned.
The Prince of Wales went to see his psychotic father worriedly, praying that he would get better soon.
Pitt went to the Cabinet for a meeting and prepared to arrange for his cousin, British Foreign Secretary Grenville, to contact and negotiate with John Adams.
As a result, the cabinet meeting had just begun, and everyone had just started discussing the details of the negotiations. The latest news from Beiyinzhou was rushed to the cabinet meeting room and placed in front of Pete:
Napoleon Bonaparte referred to the Chinese tradition and proclaimed himself king in New York, calling him King Napoleon I of Canada.
Napoleon prepares to marry Charlotte, Queen of the United States, as his queen and establish the United Kingdom of Canada and the United States.
John Adams no longer demanded that Amelia be crowned Queen of the United States.
As long as Britain recognizes the complete independence of the United States, they will immediately let go
Also Princess Amelia and Prince Frederick.
Peter looked at these brief messages and felt a dull pain in his entire skull, and he was completely stunned.
In the world wars of the past decade or so, the most talented Tessie general to emerge was Napoleon Bonaparte.
It was originally the strongest pillar to protect interests, but now it has become the main culprit threatening the British and French colonies.
Pitt and his cabinet members had originally speculated that Adams would not have the guts to directly launch a coup if it were not for the support of the armed forces of France controlled by Napoleon.
The power of the North of the United States is very different from that of the South.
Only by uniting with French Canada could Adams have the hope and courage to cause such a big fuss.
This is evidenced by Napoleon's immediate trip to New York after Adams' coup.
Now this news proves this again.
Grenville took the telegraph newspaper from his cousin, and other cabinet members also came over to take a look. Immediately, the conference room was filled with exclamations and complaints:
"How dare you proclaim yourself king! This lunatic! This is Taixi, not Ming Dynasty!"
"As expected, this Napoleon Bonaparte is the real mastermind behind the turmoil in Yinzhou!"
"How dare he even think about marrying Queen Charlotte!"
"It may be that Princess Amelia is found to be too frail and sick to have children."
"Maybe it's because Charlotte is already the queen and doesn't need to help Princess Amelia with the throne."
"We must rescue the three royal members immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Pete was thinking about the current situation in his mind, pinching his temples habitually and saying:….
"We are finally absolutely sure that Adams and Napoleon have completely made peace, and the situation in Yinzhou will be completely out of control.
"But now this is not our own business, we must bring the French together to solve it.
"Inform the French immediately to discuss how to deal with this Napoleon Bonaparte!"
After finishing speaking, Peter paused for half a second, and seemed to suddenly think of something:
"In addition, Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations were officially informed that we and France are both members of the alliance, and Ming Dynasty is the leader of the alliance.
"Now that there is a rebellion involving two countries, Daming, the leader of the alliance, cannot stay out of it.
"Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to continue to be the leader of this alliance?"
Grenville was stunned for a moment, and then asked subconsciously:
"Is it useful to inform Ming? Is it meaningful to start a fight with the League of Nations? Ming probably supports Napoleon, right?
"If I were the Ming Emperor, I would definitely support Napoleon in disrupting our Yinzhou colony."
Peter shook his head and said immediately:
"It is because of this possibility that we have to go through official procedures and formally notify Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations.
"If both the Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations left things alone, then there would be no need for the League of Nations to exist!
"If I were the prince of food who pushed for the establishment of the League of Nations, I would definitely not let it go.
"At the very least, support us in name only, and not directly support Napoleon on the surface.
"As long as he supports us in name, a lot of trouble can be avoided."
