Chapter 1233: King of America

John. Morality. Witt's representative in the East India Company, Bruce. Fan. Although Dimon looked helpless in front of him, in fact the Grand Speaker of the United Republic of the Netherlands was resourceful and particularly adept at dealing with the problems of the European continent diplomatically.

Just in John. Morality. Werther and Bruce. Fan. On the same day that Dimon spoke, his brother Conleus. Morality. Witte is in Brussels, Spanish Netherlands, with Charles II, King of Scotland in exile, the same Charles II who picked up the leak of Cromwell Jr. and succeeded in restoring the English Stuart dynasty. No, this time he was not very lucky, because the elder Cromwell had been the "protector of the country" for more than a year, and let the younger Cromwell take over in advance, and let him establish his prestige in the Battle of Dunkirk, so the current Britain is still a republic. Moreover, after the end of the Anglo-Spanish War (referring to the Anglo-Spanish War of the Cromwellian era), the Republic of England, Scotland and Ireland were recognized by the major European powers.

Therefore, Charles II's title of "Crown Prince of England" is not recognized, but his Scottish king cannot be erased, because he was crowned King of Scotland in Edinburgh on February 5, 1649, and did not have to leave Scotland to go into exile in France until September 1651 because of Cromwell's northern expedition.

King of Scotland thus became the official title of Charles II, but the Speaker of the Netherlands, John Brown. Morality. Werther has prepared another crown for the Scottish king - the king of the kingdom of America!

"What? The King of America? Mr. Witt, are you kidding? Charles II, a 36-year-old man with a very large nose and a very dignified look, looked at Conles in amazement. Morality. Victor. Because the latter made a suggestion that, in his opinion, was simply inconceivable - let him, the king of Scotland, His Majesty Charles II, the rightful heir to the thrones of England and Ireland, lead his followers to North America. Then he seized the British ten autonomous colonies on the east coast of North America to establish the Kingdom of America.

"No, no, of course not kidding!" Conle. Morality. Witt shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that you have many supporters among the ten British Autonomous Colonies in North America!" ”

"What? I have many supporters in the Americas? Charles II was stunned, "Who are they?" ”

"They are all devout Catholics!" Conle. Morality. "Ever since the crazed Protestants took control of England, Scotland and Ireland, Catholics there have been persecuted," Witte said. Some of them had to convert to Puritanism, while some of the particularly staunch Catholics left England for the colonies across the ocean in search of a way out. ”

Historically, the thirteen states of North America were the happy land of the English Puritans who were persecuted, so the early United States had a strong Puritan tradition.

Now that the Puritans were in power in England, they would not persecute their own people, but they persecuted the Catholics no less than others persecuted them.

And the Cromwells' ideal was to turn England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales into a united, unified republic based on Christian puritanism!

Therefore, many Irish and Scots, who wanted to maintain their independence, also joined the ranks of exile in the United States.

And all these exiles had a favorable opinion of the Stuart dynasty.

Conle. Morality. "According to our report on the colony of New Amsterdam (New York)," Witte added, "there are no less than 50,000 British Catholics who arrived in New Amsterdam after Cromwell Jr. came to power and then transferred from there to the ten British colonies!"

If we include the British Catholics who landed in other ports in North America, the total number of Catholics who went to the ten British colonies in North America in recent years is probably more than 150,000, and the total population of these ten colonies should have exceeded 250,000 when the population had settled there before. The vast majority of them hated the Puritans and the Cromwells, and embraced you and the Roman Catholic faith you firmly guarded! ”

Charles II was a little moved, although North America is a remote and poor place, but it is better than nothing...... Now Charles II is leading a group of English royal party to attach to the poor ghost of Spain in the Spanish Netherlands, and life is almost the same as begging for food!

And even this kind of day of asking for food is precarious!

Because after the death of Philip IV, the Spanish Netherlands was already in danger, and the Spanish kingdom itself was not enough to defend the Spanish Netherlands, so it could only try to cobble together an anti-French alliance. And if you want to oppose France, you can't do without Britain, but Britain is under the rule of Cromwell Jr. If Charles II's royal party remained in the Spanish Netherlands, how could Cromwell Jr. join the anti-French alliance?

Do you want the new model army and the Wang army to fight side by side? Impossible!

So after the death of Philip IV, Spain's attitude towards Charles II was rapidly becoming cold. From November 1665 onwards, no stipend was paid to Charles II in Madrid...... Charles II's army was also hired, and if you don't have money, you have to break up!

But even with the money, Charles II was afraid to stay in the Spanish Netherlands.

Because Louis XIV had already prepared an army of 150,000 and was about to be killed! With just a few royal armies of Charles II, how did they reach the 150,000 army of others? When the time comes, they will all be killed, and there is no hope for the restoration of kingship.

"But North America is very desolate!" Charles II, of course, could not let go easily, "and...... Cromwell Jr. has the second most powerful navy in the world! If he had known that I had gone to the Americas, he would have sent troops there! ”

Conle. Morality. Witt laughed: "The question you came up with, we and the Duke of Florida have already thought about it!" ”

"Duke of Florida?" Charles II's eyes narrowed.

"Yes," Conleus. Morality. Victor nodded, "He looks forward to working with you to defend the New World of America, a land blessed by God!" ”

The Duke of Florida is Don. Huang. José, now regent of the Kingdom of New Spain.

According to the will of Philip IV, the world empire he left behind would have two regents, Don. Huang. José would become regent of New Spain, responsible for ruling the Kingdom of New Spain until Carlos II could govern the country.

And Carlos II's mother, Maria. Anna served as regent of the Kingdom of Spain.

Conle. Morality. Witte added: "If you are willing to lead the LinkedIn King's Party to the New World, then the Republic of the Netherlands will provide you with a one-time allowance of Rp 10 million.

Once you are crowned King of the Kingdom of America, the Kingdom of New Spain under the Duke of Florida will conclude a treaty of alliance with you.

In this way, if Cromwell Jr. wants to go on an expedition to the New World, then he will have to go to war with the two New World powers, the Kingdom of America and the Kingdom of New Spain, at the same time. With Cromwell's prudence Jr., he would not have easily provoked such an uncertain war.

Of course, you also need to show your desire for peace...... For example, it was announced that it would renounce its claims to the throne of England and Ireland, and renounce the throne of Scotland. ”

The ten British states of North America today are simply wasteland, worse than they were during the American Revolution more than 100 years later!

If Charles II is willing to give up the throne and become the king of the United States, then Cromwell Jr. may let go of the nascent American kingdom......

Conle. Morality. For the sake of Werther's words, Charles II was a fool if he didn't understand it anymore - Cromwell Jr. and de D. Werther and Don. Huang. It is very likely that Jose has already reached an agreement, and now he is waiting for the nod of his exiled king, and he and the British royal party can be packed and sent to the New World!

If he doesn't agree, then it's a toast and a penalty for not eating!
