Steel Dynasty - Chapter 991

[Chapter 984 France]

The river wind from the Thames River blew, and Bick’s eyes were profound.

He said to Murphy: “I very much agree with your idea. In addition, should we also consider improving relations with France? This Eastern Empire is difficult for us to deal with on our own.”

“Europe has been mutually exclusive for hundreds of years. The fundamental reason for the struggle is that Europeans arrogantly believe that Europe is the center of the world, that European civilization is at the top of the world, and that we have no worthy opponents outside of Europe. Obviously, the situation is different now,” Murphy said with emotion. I hope our envoy to Great Chongqing can make progress this time, otherwise we will have constant troubles around the world.”

Nick nodded solemnly after hearing this.

While the two were talking, the Cao family and his son were already riding in a carriage to their home by the Thames River.

On the carriage, Cao Zhengtong looked a little worried. He asked: “Father, do you think the British will improve the status of the people of Chongqing in the UK?”

Cao Kun closed his eyes and was resting. He said slowly: “Vidomia has no other choice.” Choice, if the British are still so arrogant, they will lose more. “

I hope so, we will no longer be laughed at by the British in the UK,” Cao Zhengtong said through gritted teeth.

Although they have been in the UK for a long time, life here is not pleasant at all. The white supremacists here often make trouble for them for no reason. If the Parliament had not sent soldiers to protect them, they would have become slaves.

Because of this, they took the opportunity to put forward suggestions to improve the status of the people of Dayu. In this way, they would have the same legal rights as the British.

“The next step is for us to ask the parliament for a piece of land to build a settlement area for us Dayu people. In this way, we can bring together the people of Dayu and reorganize our parliament.” Cao Kun said that the failure in the south made He has never been willing to give in.

And through this period of understanding, they discovered that there are still some slaves from the Great Chongqing Kingdom in the UK. These slaves were sold by the British in Asia.

If he frees these people from their status as slaves, these people from the Chongqing Kingdom will definitely be grateful to him and join his service.

Cao Zhengtong nodded slowly. This was an opportunity for them. Even if they could not return to Great Chongqing, they could still live a good life in the UK.

Because the British need them.

…

France, Paris.

This place was experiencing the same turmoil as the UK. After the two remaining British warships returned to London, they quickly received news of the disastrous defeat of the United Fleet.

For the newly established French Republic, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

After receiving the news, many nobles in Paris gathered at the official office of the consul and protector Andre.

He was the first person in French military politics.

“We should never have agreed to form a joint fleet with the British in the first place. Now only their fleet has returned. No one knows whether our fleet was annihilated by the British or the Great Yu Kingdom.” Duke Adrian said loudly, he had been The British didn’t like it.

This island country outside the European continent has never been happy to see France become powerful.

“Yes, this is probably a British conspiracy.”

“An investigation into this matter should be ordered immediately.”

“…”

the nobles shouted.

Andre leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brow in pain. He personally approved the establishment of the combined fleet this time, and now the disastrous failure has made him lose face.

France, the most powerful country on the European continent, suffered a disastrous defeat in the East. This is a shame for anyone.

“Silence, silence!” Andre knocked on the table.

He looked up at the many nobles. These nobles were all capitalists who participated in the overthrow of the French feudal dynasty, and the current ruling class of the French Republic is also composed of them.

“There is no need for the British to deceive us on this point. This will not do them any good in Asia. The current strength of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is now obvious to all. The technology obtained from the Great Chongqing Kingdom has proven this. The failure of the combined fleet now just proves it. On this issue, if we continue to fight with the British, we will lose more overseas colonies. After all, we have a firm agreement with the British to divide Asia, but not with the Great Chongqing, and the Great Chongqing is so close to our Indochina. Especially unfortunate. “As the leader who overthrew the French monarchy, Andre had enough command and courage.

He was not afraid to face the doubts of the nobles, which is also the origin of his nickname “Dictator”.

“If it weren’t for the British trap, then we might be facing a worse situation now. Now we must find a way to save Indochina.” A noble said in horror.

Andre’s brows furrowed even more tightly. This was exactly what he was worried about. Compared to the British, their colony was too close to the Great Chongqing.

The appearance of the combined fleet puts them and Great Chongqing in a state of war, and Great Chongqing can take any action.

Once Indochina is lost, his reputation will inevitably be damaged, which is very detrimental to his status.

“We must first send a mission to the Great Chongqing for reconciliation.” Andre said to everyone: “At least avoid war before we have thoroughly studied the technology of the Great Chongqing. What we need now is time. Once the steam engine becomes popular in France , we will also have the ability to make sophisticated weapons, and that will be the time to defeat Dayu.”

The nobles nodded after hearing this. They had all seen the technical talent from Dayu. In the past two years, he had a lot of experience. With the help of France, France’s industry made significant progress.

The proposing of various scientific theories has also shocked the French scientific community. Now scientists in Paris are turning these theories into reality day and night.

“This is the wisest choice now.” Duke Adrian said: “A temporary concession will give us time to win.”

Andre nodded, and he continued: “But we must also think of the worst. Possibly, if Great Chongqing refuses peace talks, we will inevitably fight with them in Indochina. Therefore, while sending missions, we must actively train the natives of Indochina to help us fight, and at the same time send new muskets to the front line. Stop the expansion of Great Chongqing,” Andre said.

He believes that countries with colonies in Asia are now very worried, and Britain should respond similarly to them.

After all, when it comes to actual overseas interests, Britain has much more than them.

Seeing that no one objected, Andre said to the diplomat standing on the right: “From now on, you will select envoys and set off in a week.”
