Chapter 1027 Treaty of London

Unconditional surrender does not mean that there are really no conditions.

If Wu Changqing demands that all of Great Britain be merged into Dahua, it is unlikely that the nobles in England will agree.

Even if Charles II agreed, Elson would take the opportunity to deny the legitimacy of Charles II and then raise a flag of resistance.

The reason why they dare not agree is because they can all see a problem. With the current transportation capabilities, it is very difficult for Dahua to maintain its dominance in Europe, the cost is extremely high, and it is not cost-effective.

Therefore, Dahua’s bottom line is definitely not to ask Great Britain to merge with Dahua.

After confirming this, Elson and others had the confidence to ask for some conditions.

Of course, in order to avoid completely angering Dahua, they must also pay enough to satisfy Dahua.

This price is enough to make the English burst into tears.

The negotiation process was very complicated and cumbersome. On the surface, it seemed to be a matter between Wu Changqing and Charles II. In fact, there were many actors involved.

Charles II not only had to talk to Dahua, but also to talk to Elson, and he had to promise a lot of benefits to Elson. Otherwise, Elson would not agree to surrender, and Charles II's signature on the treaty would not be particularly useful.

At the same time, Charles II also needed to negotiate with those nobles who could influence and dominate the situation in Great Britain to reach a series of compromises. Without the support of these nobles, Charles II would be nothing more than an empty shell.

What's more, he has lost all his majesty now.

If someone proposed to abolish him, I am afraid there would be many people who would respond.

Therefore, Charles II needed the support of others. At this moment, he had completely lost his dignity as a king and was as humble as a grandson in front of all the forces.

Even Gill in Ireland, Wenger in Wales, Sterling in Scotland, and North American interest groups have all joined the negotiations. They are fighting for the independence rights of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and North America in the negotiations.

Even people in Great Britain are still communicating with the leaders of France, Spain and other countries, hoping that those countries will share some of England's losses. After all, we are an alliance.

We share the blessings and share the hardships.

It's a pity that people from other countries don't care about them.

The awesome England is the leader of the EU, but who is the down-and-out England?

Involving such a complicated relationship, the entire negotiation process was very lengthy and full of contradictions.

The quarrels in the conference room never stopped from morning to night, and then from night to morning.

All kinds of unpleasant words kept coming out of these gentlemen's mouths.

What kind of asshole, %, x-on:%, etc., completely failed to pass the review.

If it weren't for Dahua's soldiers watching, I don't know how many fights would have broken out in this conference room.

After all, the interests they were arguing were worth at least a city, and at most they were worth a county. Being able to only talk but not do anything was already quite restrained.

Without Dahua's urging, it would have been impossible for them to resolve this dispute within a few months.

But Dahua set a time limit for the negotiation and required that the negotiation must be completed within a certain number of days, otherwise Dahua would have to solve the problem in its own way.

Although the method was not clearly stated, Charles II and others were very panicked, and they could only retreat and compromise.

For example, Wenger of Wales finally agreed to give up his demand for independence, but he wanted Wales to gain autonomy. He wanted to be the Duke and Governor of Wales.

If there were no Chinese people to support Wenger, Charles II would not care about this lunatic.

However, now Charles II, Browne and others can only agree. They are eager to complete negotiations quickly and regain control of their rights.

The longer it takes, the worse it will be for them. By then, even if the Chinese retreat, this England may become Elson's final decision, and there may be another military government.

This is something that other nobles cannot accept. It has not been many years since the bad situation of the last military government, and they will not forget it so quickly.

Therefore, Charles II and Browne discussed and finally agreed to Wenger's request.

They are swallowing their anger and waiting for Dahua's army to leave, they will have plenty of ways to deal with this bad old man Wenger. At least, that's what they think.

Agreeing to Wenger's request, Gill's request was naturally agreed to.

Ireland was not originally a part of Great Britain, and due to its geographical location, it was not as important as Wales. If it was gone, it would be gone.

The country has lost like this, and there is nothing that cannot be given up.

So, Ireland gained its independence.

As for Scotland, the situation is more complicated. Opinions within Scotland are not unified. Some people want independence, while others want to maintain the status quo. After independence, Scotland will be weaker and more bullied by Dahua.

No matter how bastard England is, everyone has been a family together for hundreds of years, which is better than Dahua, an outsider.

There was no unified opinion among them, and Dahua was unable to support it, so the issue of Scottish independence was put on hold.

If Sterling wants to be independent, he has to continue to struggle, and Dahua will also provide some support secretly.

After England and the people inside reached a compromise, they also negotiated Dahua's request.

In the end, because Charles II and others wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, they made great concessions.

The concessions are so huge that they are jaw-dropping.

The benefits Dahua has gained far exceed expectations.

First of all, the first one is that England can no longer use the title of emperor in the future. It can only be called king or prince, which is one level lower than Wu Changqing.

There can only be one emperor in this world.

This was just a loss of face. Charles II, who had already lost his face, agreed without thinking. He is now better at enduring humiliation and bearing the burden.

Article 2: North America will be autonomous from England and will no longer need to pay taxes to the English government.

This article was a compromise made by Charles II to some domestic capitalists and nobles.

Some nobles have become disillusioned with England and want to develop in North America.

There are also some vested interests in North America who also support this treaty. England used to be strong, they had no choice but to

Fortunately, they turned over part of their hard-earned money, but now, they will definitely not turn it over again. Anyway, England does not have the power to go to North America to suppress it.

It is for this reason that Charles II simply agreed.

Article 3: Compensation of 5 million yuan.

The current population of England is approximately five million, with each person worth one dollar.

This is a huge burden for England, but they have no choice but to find ways to squeeze from the people.

Article 4 limits the number of armies, allowing only 50,000 to be retained, and prohibiting the development of a navy.

Dahua hopes that the English will concentrate on the economy and not spend money on the military.

In this way, England will get rich faster, and Dahua will be able to capture more oil and water if it comes to occupy it in the future.

Limiting its military strength will make it easier and easier to fight next time.

To put it bluntly, Dahua is raising them like pigs.
