Chapter 984 France

The river wind from the Thames blows, and Piccolo's eyes are deep.

He said to Murphy: "I agree with you very much. In addition, should we also consider improving relations with France. This eastern empire is very difficult to deal with by ourselves."

"For hundreds of years, Europe has been fighting each other, and the fundamental reason is that Europeans are conceited that Europe is the center of the world, that European civilization is on top of the world, and that we have no opponents outside Europe. Obviously, things are different now. "Murphy said with emotion: "I hope our envoys to the Great Yu country can make progress this time, otherwise we will be in trouble all over the world."

Nick nodded solemnly.

When the two were talking, the father and son of the Cao family had already taken a carriage to their residence by the Thames.

Cao Zhengtong looked a little worried on the carriage. He asked, "Father, do you think the British will improve the status of the people of Da Yu in the UK?"

Cao Kun was resting with his eyes closed. He said slowly: "Victoria has no choice. If the British are still so arrogant, they will lose more."

"I hope so, so that we can no longer be ridiculed by those British people in the UK." Cao Zhengtong said through gritted teeth.

Although they have been in England for a long time, life here is not pleasant at all. The white supremacists here often trouble them for no reason. If it is not for the parliament to send soldiers to protect them, it is estimated that they have become slaves.

Because of this, they took the opportunity to put forward proposals to improve the status of the people of Dayu, so that they would have the same legal rights as the British.

"The next step is to propose to the parliament for a piece of land to build a settlement for our people in Dayu. In this way, we can gather people from Dayu to re-establish our parliament." Cao Kun said that the failure in the south made the He has not been reconciled.

And through this period of understanding, they found that there were still some slaves from the Great Yu Kingdom in the UK, and these slaves were all sold by the British in Asia.

If he let these people out of slave status, these people of the Great Yu country would definitely appreciate him and put them under his command.

Cao Zhengtong nodded slowly, this was an opportunity for them, even if they could not return to the Great Yu Kingdom, they could still live a good life in the UK.

Because the British need them.

...

France, Paris.

It was going through the same turbulence as Britain, and after the two surviving British warships returned to London, they soon got news of the combined fleet's fiasco.

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

After getting this news, many nobles in Paris gathered in the office of the consul and national security guard, Andre.

He was the first man in French military politics.

"We shouldn't have agreed to form a combined fleet with the British. 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 has been The British didn't like it.

The island nation outside continental Europe has been unhappy with the strength of France.

"Yes, this is most likely a British conspiracy."

"An investigation into this matter should be ordered immediately."

"..."

The nobles shouted.

Andre leaned back on the chair and rubbed his brows in pain. He personally approved the establishment of the combined fleet this time, and now the tragic failure has left his face darkened.

It is a disgrace to anyone that France, the most powerful country in continental Europe, should suffer a heavy defeat in the East.

"Silence, silence!" Andrei tapped the table.

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

"There is no need for the British to deceive us on this point. It does not do them any good in Asia. The strength of the Great Yu Kingdom is now obvious to all. The technology obtained from the Great Yu Kingdom has proved this. Now the failure of the combined fleet just shows that On this issue, if we continue to fight with the British, we will lose more overseas colonies. After all, we have made a firm agreement to divide Asia with the British, but not with Da Yu, which is so close to our Indochina Especially unfortunate." As the leader of the overthrow of the French monarchy, Andre has enough command and courage.

He is not afraid to face the doubts of the nobles, which is also the origin of his dictator nickname.

"If it weren't for the trap of the British, then we would be facing a worse situation now, and now we must find a way to keep Indochina." A nobleman said in horror.

Andre's brows furrowed even tighter, which was exactly what he was worried about. Compared with the United Kingdom, their colony was too close to the Great Yu Kingdom.

The appearance of the combined fleet has put them and the Great Yu Kingdom in a state of war, and the Great Yu Kingdom can take any action.

And once Indochina is lost, his reputation will inevitably be damaged, which is very detrimental to his position.

"We have to send a mission to Da Yu to reconcile first." Andre said to everyone: "At least we have not studied the technology of Da Yu to avoid war. What we need now is time, once steam engines are popularized in France. , we will also have the ability to manufacture sophisticated weapons, and that time will be the time to defeat the Great Yu Kingdom."

The nobles nodded their heads after hearing the words. They have all met the technical talent from the Great Yu Kingdom. With his help in the past two years, France's industry has made remarkable progress.

The proposal of various scientific theories has also shaken the French scientific community, and now scientists in Paris are turning these theories into reality day and night.

"This is the wisest choice now," said Duke Adrian. "Temporary concessions will give us time to win."

Andre nodded, and he continued: "But we also have to think of the worst possibility. If the Great Yu country refuses to negotiate, we will inevitably fight them in Indochina. Therefore, while dispatching the mission, We must actively train the indigenous people of Indochina to help us fight, and at the same time send new muskets to the front line to prevent the expansion of the Great Yu Kingdom." Andre said.

He believes that countries with colonies in Asia will be very worried now, and the United Kingdom should respond similarly to them.

After all, when it comes to actual overseas interests, the UK is much more than them.

Seeing that there was no objection, Andre said to the diplomat standing on the right: "From now on, you will choose envoys and set off in a week."
