Chapter 2545 Looking at the World (Ⅳ)
Good guy!
His Majesty Roland is worthy of being a good friend of Prince Colofa. The people from the Far East and the Canaanites colluded and set up an "arms price alliance" in an attempt to monopolize the military supply market in the New World. A fat sheep was slaughtered twice.
When Qiao An read the relevant reports, he couldn't help but secretly scolded His Majesty the Emperor of the Far East and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Canaan for being so dark-hearted, so damn dark!
Mr. Quintilian then said to the minister from the New World: "People in the Far East are very sympathetic to the situation of the revolutionaries in the New World. When the conditions are ripe, they may provide more active assistance to the Continental Army."
Translating these diplomatic rhetoric into the vernacular is the original words that His Majesty Roland asked Quintilian to convey:
"The most stupid thing in the world is to speculate in stocks and become a shareholder, speculate in real estate and become a landlord, and sell blood and kidneys to fund the revolution of trash."
"We people in the Far East don't want to be taken advantage of. Unless your army wins a few beautiful battles and proves that you are not a waste that can't be supported by mud and you are qualified to be our partners, otherwise you can't even take even a little from our pockets. A copper coin!"
...Hearing what His Majesty the Emperor said, the tone is really not like the king of a country, but like a arrogant usurer.
Go to Te Niang's "Liberty and Equality", "Love and Justice"!
Money is the master of this world!
Mr. Minister from the New World was brutally beaten by the iron fist of capitalism in Fort Colas, and wrote a letter to the Continental Congress overnight, truthfully conveying His Majesty Roland's attitude.
Now, the ball is kicked back to the side of the Continental Army.
To obtain foreign aid, they must fight a few tough battles based on their own strength and prove that they are worthy of investment.
However, the reality is that the Continental Army is short of food and guns, and without sufficient supplies, it is almost impossible to win the battle.
The southerners were so penniless that the Continental Congress could not raise money, food and guns, so they could only count on foreign friends to provide military supplies.
However, if they want to obtain foreign aid, they must first fight a few tough battles with their own strength to prove that they are worthy of investment.
...So, the revolutionaries in the New World fell into a sad "death loop".
...
On May 20, 1626, just half a month after the Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence, representatives of indigenous tribes on the east coast of Wilnoa gathered in Shizhu Town to hold a tribal alliance meeting.
The Volsunger family took an impartial stance and had no good impression of the colonists of the New World and their suzerains. They pointed out that the so-called "War of Independence" had nothing to do with the aborigines, so they would take neutrality in this war. Not to help each other, in fact, I wish the colonists and the suzerain country could kill each other and die together.
However, not all aboriginal tribes intend to stand by the war, and two tribes have already made it clear that they have decided to devote themselves to this coming storm in a more active way.
The first is the Wali tribe living at the eastern foot of the Jotunheim Glacier. The friendship with the Winthrop family has lasted for more than half a century. They have fought side by side with the Fizen army in many wars in the past. The tribe and the tribe of hill giants on Calydon Island together form the two major mercenaries of the colonial government of Jotunheim.
Prince Enfield of the Valli tribe believes that Fiji’s regular army is obviously stronger than the grassroots army. Now supporting his old friend Governor Winthrop to eliminate the rebels is like taking a “flying boat”. There are many benefits to be gained.
In addition to the obvious reasons, Prince Enfield firmly supports Governor Winthrop. In fact, there is another personal reason, that is, his family has converted to the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", and he himself has received the gift of Echidna. The "Bat Wing Seal" under it.
Ever since the mysterious change in Fort Donen, many backbone members of the Midgard branch of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", including Dinin and Betty, were martyred collectively, and Earl Winthrop has become the undisputed supreme leader of the church.
Prince Enfield of the Valli Tribe and Queen Huaia of Calydon Island belong to different races from Earl Winthrop, but they have the same beliefs and must obey the leadership of Earl Winthrop according to the teachings.
Projecting the affiliation at the religious level to the political level, it is not difficult to understand why the Wali tribe advocated supporting the Fijin Kingdom to suppress the rebels in the colonies.
At the same time, the representatives of the Algonquin tribe from the south stood on the opposite side of the Wali tribe and decided to support their fellow countrymen, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army George Vasa and the army under his leadership, to actively participate in this purpose. In the war for the liberation of the colonies.
Representatives of the Algonquin Tribe believed that this war would not only free the colonists from the oppression of the overlord country, but also create an opportunity for the colonists and the aborigines to fight side by side, understand each other, eliminate barriers, and jointly create a community after victory in the war. A confederal state that conforms to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and where all ethnic groups are equal.
On that day, all aboriginal territories on the east coast of the New World will be able to join the Confederate government as a "sovereign state", and they can also withdraw voluntarily when necessary, completely resolving the conflict between colonists and aborigines from the institutional level.
The principle of neutrality adhered to by the Volsung tribe, the realist principle of "help whoever wins the most" upheld by the Wali tribe, and the idealism advocated by the Algonquin tribe to create a new country and design a new system In principle, each of them won a large group of supporters at this tribal meeting.
In this way, when the colonists of the New World officially broke with the suzerain country, the aborigines of the New World could hardly stand alone. Adhering to their own ideas, they devoted themselves to different camps and irreversibly split.

·Historical Materials: The Diplomatic Intent of the Declaration of Independence ("A Brief History of the American Revolutionary War" [British] Stephen Conway)
Although the purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to justify Americans' rejection of royal authority, its primary purpose was not domestic but international.
The leaders of the Continental Congress knew they needed foreign aid, and if the Americans looked like they would return to the arms of the British, no European power would actually come to their aid.
The Declaration of Independence proclaimed on the world stage a new body politic—the United States of America—which could enter into a treaty with any European state ready to help.
The Continental Congress did not procrastinate in seeking possible allies: in September, Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee sailed for Paris to present a draft treaty to the French government.
Yet when the two Continental Congress delegates arrived in the French capital, the Americans looked far from being eligible partners to Louis XVI's ministers.
