Chapter 2544 Looking at the World (Ⅲ)

The day after the "Declaration of Independence" was published, Lord Rochford, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Fijin Kingdom, met with the ambassadors of the Holy Ashean Empire, the Sea Blue Kingdom and the Boswa Kingdom to Avalon, and clearly pointed out that the "Declaration of Independence" is a tribute to the "holy The crazy attacks of the "Alliance of Monarchs" and the current international order are extremely harmful!

The so-called "current international order" is based on the colonial expansionism pursued by the major powers. The underdeveloped regions of the world have almost been divided up by a handful of imperial powers, and the ruling classes of the major powers are vested interests. , of course there is sufficient will to maintain the colonial system will never be easy.

The Ashan Empire, which was forced to sell Midgard and Yalfheim, still retains a large number of colonies in Graberen in the south of the New World, on countless islands in the Meteorite Ocean and the Storm Ocean.

The Ocean Blue Kingdom and the Baoshihua Kingdom are also two imperialist powers actively exploring overseas colonies.

The revolutionaries in the New World firmly bound the liberation of the colonies with natural human rights, and endowed the revolution against colonial oppression with indisputable justice. This is like knocking down the first domino, which is likely to trigger a "chain reaction" and prompt other The colonies followed suit, setting off a colonial liberation movement that swept the world.

If this storm really forms, all major colonial suzerains will be affected, and the global colonial system that has been painstakingly maintained will be torn to pieces sooner or later!

The consequences are terrible, as Lord Rochford said to the three ambassadors: "We are sailors on a ship, and if the ship capsizes, you have to play along!"

The diplomatic strategy of the Fizen authorities has achieved immediate results.

The envoys sent by the Continental Congress to the Ashan Empire, the Ocean Blue Kingdom, and the Boswa Kingdom all received cold reception.

The governments of the three countries were afraid that they would end up "shooting their own feet with a stone", so they refused to recognize the "Continental Congress" as a legitimate government. At least so far, they have no intention of providing military support for the independent revolution in the New World.

However, Lord Rochford's rhetoric has no effect on the other two powerful countries in the Vales world.

Asan, Hailan and Baoshihua, like Feizhen, are also colonial empires that occupy a large number of overseas territories. The ruling class has to worry that their colonies will be incited to rebel by the "Declaration of Independence", and they dare not openly support the independent revolution in the New World. The Southern Kingdom and the Kolas Empire have no such concerns.

Canaan is a country full of disasters and disasters. There are many deserts and hills in the country. The land is barren and arid and lacks water. However, it has missed the opportunities brought by the "Great Discovery Age" and failed to catch the last train of colonial expansion.

King Joshua VIII, who worked hard to govern, managed to settle the crisis in Canaan. The Magic Industrial Revolution started vigorously. At this time, he opened the map and saw that from the New World to the two oceans, the entire world of Vales had almost disappeared. It was divided up by the four great powers of Ashan, Feizhen, Hailan and Baoshihua.

Swipe casually on the map, either this family’s colony, or that family’s overseas province, all good places have owners, what can we Canaanites do?

King Joshua worked hard for 20 years, and the Canaan Kingdom only occupied a few scattered small colonies. The ruling class of the Canaan Kingdom had a lot of resentment on the issue of expanding the territory.

How can the Canaanites have a bright future without overthrowing the old imperialist powers?

From this perspective, Canaan and Feizhen are naturally opposed, and they are more motivated to actively support the cause of independence and liberation in the New World.

The envoy sent by the Continental Congress to Bethlehem, the capital of Canaan, had hoped to visit Prince Colofa, who was in charge of Canaan's foreign affairs, but returned disappointed, failing to get any substantive promises from the other party.

Prince Colofer's attitude was very polite, but he would never be the "first bird" and the first to publicly recognize the Continental Congress as a legitimate regime.

It is okay to sell some guns and weapons to the Continental Army in private, "For the sake of supporting a just cause, I will give you a 5% discount."

There is nothing else.

"We Canaanites have followed a principle since ancient times. We only strive for the second place in everything, and we would rather die than be the first."

In a tongue-in-cheek way, Prince Colophon clarified the position of the Canaanite authorities to the guests from the New World.

"Then who can be this 'early bird'?" The envoy asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knowingly.

There was a strange smile in the sapphire-like eyes of Prince Colofa, he picked up the quill pen on the desk, and pointed to the north.

"Go to the Far East and ask my friend, His Majesty Roland, if he dares to gamble in the New World. If he dares to bet, I will dare to follow. If he is not interested, I will not get involved."

It took less than eight years for the Kolas Empire in the Far East to become one of the great powers from the founding of the country, and there were no colonies to squeeze.

In fact, the Kolas Empire once had the opportunity to take over the two colonies of the Ashan Empire in the New World, Midgard and Alfheim, but Roland I rejected this seemingly golden opportunity.

Qiao An has always felt that His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East is more like a "monster" than himself. His brain circuit seems to be different from that of normal people, and he always comes up with some unimaginable tricks.

For example, the colonies, which King Joshua of Feizhen wanted so much, but His Majesty Roland dismissed them, and publicly criticized the current imperialist colonial system more than once.

Not only is this system too unfair, the suzerain country has caused cruel oppression to the colonial people, His Majesty Roland is even more contemptuous because this international order is too stupid and outdated, the suzerain country bears the infamy in vain, in fact, it can't gain much benefit from the colonies, Instead, they did a lot of loss-making business.

Joan was very interested in His Majesty Roland's remarks, and wanted to know the basis for his judgment, and then the cloud network search engine listed him a large number of political, economic and financial academic papers published in professional journals ...

After reading these papers, Joan couldn't help suspecting that the "emperor" is just a part-time job of His Majesty Roland, and his main job is more like an economist... However, considering that His Majesty Roland's position before taking the throne was the Governor of the Central Bank of the Far East, It's not surprising to have such a little hobby.

In Fort Collas, His Majesty Roland entrusted Minister of Foreign Affairs Quintilian to receive the envoy sent by the Continental Congress, and also asked Mr. Quintilian to pass a few words.

The Korath Empire is currently inconvenient to publicly support the independence and liberation of the New World, but privately it is happy to provide military supplies to the revolutionaries.

"The price is easy to negotiate. For the sake of supporting a just cause, I will give you a 5% discount and make a friend!"

It's not difficult for Qiao An to imagine how cold the Minister's heart felt when he heard these words.

·Historical materials: British foreign policy in the early days of the war ("A Brief History of the American Revolutionary War" [British] Stephen Conway)

From the spring of 1775 until the end of 1777, the period was a purely American war.

Even so, both sides have gone to great lengths to justify their cause to other countries, as well as to their own people.

The British tried to convince France and Spain that they should be happy to see the American rebellion suppressed, since they were also two imperialist powers, but the persuasion was ineffective.
