Elizabeth Tudor was very uncomfortable during this time, on the one hand, she was middle-aged, lonely and lonely and cold, but on the other hand, she was tired from state affairs, so that she had not slept well for many days.

Especially the recent incident - what else is about the navy head-scratching thing, really made her think hard, and there was a lot more gray hair.

Sun Qilan, a native of the Ming Dynasty, has always been a role that cannot be ignored, which Elizabeth knew a long time ago, but not long ago, for the sake of national interests, she still left this factor far behind.

The roots of this should be told more than ten years ago.

From her teenage years, Elizabeth lived under great pressure in Spain, and her father, Henry VIII, devoted his life to fighting the Spaniards.

After she succeeded to the throne, the Holy See, led by the Spaniards, intensified its efforts to replace and eliminate the rule of the Tudor family through marriages and other means, and turn all of England, including England, Ireland, and Mary's Scotland and other three islands, into their territories.

Why did Elizabeth choose Protestant* as the state religion of the country? Of course, there is the need to develop the economy, and there is also the meaning of consciously resisting the oppression of Spain and going our own way.

In order to confront Spain, she gathered allies around her in many ways and gathered to resist Spain's violence. She has tried many countries, but all of them have failed.

For example, France under the Medici family, Portugal annexed by Spain, and the Nordic countries that were isolated and self-contained.

But facts have proved that these countries are unreliable, and everyone is on the face and behind the other.

As long as the Netherlands, the low-lying country, stood up, the territory of the Netherlands was larger than it is now, but in the process of struggle, it gradually divided, and the Netherlands was formed by the more resolute resistance, while the less resolute and restored by traditional doctrine became Belgium, Luxembourg and other small countries.

What she didn't expect was that with the completion of the Armageddon with Spain, the original senior brother Netherlands actually sprung up and became a decisive force.

Especially in recent years, their shipping industry has developed more and more rapidly, flexible minds, resolute character, and strong contract spirit, so that these sea beggars have gradually evolved into world-renowned sea coachmen!

This was completely beyond Elizabeth's expectations, in her cognition, the Netherlands should always be the little brother, after all, the main force to defeat the invincible Spain is herself, and the Netherlands is just a little guy who eats and drinks, how can it be reversed to his own head?

But in the face of the almost irrepressible power of the rise of the Netherlands, Elizabeth felt deeply powerless.

She has hatred in her heart, both for the Dutch and for me, a Ming Dynastyman.

In her mind, I, the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to vote and ask for cooperation, was originally just a pawn that could be used, but as time went by, this chess piece became more and more uncontrollable, until it finally became the source and hidden danger of creating contradictions.

Yes, in order to maintain his authority at sea, in order to curb the rapid rise of the Netherlands, he did some less glamorous things, and reached an agreement with Spain in a sense.

As for what the Spaniards would do, Elizabeth knew what to do. On the basis of the lessons learned before, these stupid and stubborn Spaniards will not clash with their own country head-on, but they will not give up their hands on those small forces at sea.

Will there be Sun Qilan's territory among them? There will definitely be, but as the Queen of England, for the sake of the country, I can only turn a blind eye to these little things.

No matter how strong Sun Qilan is, he is just a person, even if he has opinions, when he returns to the UK, he will be rewarded with some high-ranking officials, which is not a big deal.

But she didn't expect that after this headache of the Ming Dynasty returned to Europe, he did not return to Britain immediately, but went to France, as the number one thinker and specific executor, and began to build a modern navy in the true sense of the word for the French Navy!

How can this be! It was my efforts that broke the Spanish tyranny at sea, how could I let others share this sweetness!

But...... But what can be done? Do you want to start another war against France yourself?

Does Britain, already exhausted by war, still have this potential?

Weigh it all in, no! And strategically, Britain must not set up another strategic enemy outside of Spain!

Well, France can only be curbed from all sides, such as loans, such as technology, such as talent, and all other means at their disposal, and we must not sit back and watch them grow and grow like this!

But what I didn't expect was that Sun Qilan, this guy, actually blossomed more, and it was really a wave of unevenness and wave after wave for himself!

That Dreadnought Maritime Defense Co., Ltd. has something to do with him again! No, he built it at all!

What is he going to do?

It is known that in just three months, they built a naval force equivalent to one-twentieth of the total displacement of the British battlefleet!

One twentieth doesn't sound like much, but that's a country compared to an individual power, and, and only three months!

He must be called back immediately! If you don't come back...... If he doesn't come back, it's an open declaration of war on me!

He came, yes, he came. But who would have thought that he would be so strong, insisting that he would apologize and make amends, without mentioning the harm done to Britain by what he had done in France and Holland!

This damn man, I've even thought countless times before, if I let him be my partner......

That must be a better choice than Raleigh!

He has no roots in Europe, no bias, he is just an independent person, and there is no need to worry about him being used by other forces to become a threat to my royal power.

If we can really be together, I can be the supreme queen with peace of mind, and he will be on the front line for me, and become the strongest and strongest guardian of Britain and myself!

It's a pity that I don't know if it's an appropriate word or not, but my mood at this time is two words of pity - it's a pity that our previous good feelings have almost been destroyed.

I know I'm wrong, but I'm thinking from the perspective of the country, so why can't he think about it for me?

To this day, he is still using his original identity as a shield, of course, this is also my original mistake - for such a person, he should be firmly tied to him with high-ranking officials and Houlu, instead of boiling half of the water, neither hot nor cold!

I asked him to stay in his dwelling and reflect, yes, I gave him the courtyard, which he named Wenhai Pavilion. No matter what the pavilion is, it is a cage at this time, and he must reflect in it.

However, he never seemed to have any contact with the outside world, and I knew that I had no intention of hard locking him down.

After all, such a man is arrogant, and if he pushes it too hard, it can only make the sense of rebellion in his heart stronger.

But is it really okay to go on like this? My request is actually quite simple, to disassociate his newly formed Dreadnought fleet from the Dutch royal family, and I can afford all his attrition, as long as he is loyal to me.

I could give him everything he wanted, power, status, glory, even the status of the queen's husband - I knew he was married, but so what?

I don't mind if they're together, who in this aristocratic circle isn't you playing yours and I'm playing mine?

As long as nominally he is the queen's husband is enough, that's what I want.

Am I excessive? No, not too much at all!

It's this man who is excessive!

Alas, I still love talent after all, and I can't help but let Isabella persuade him again. But when I saw my niece's look on her face when she returned, I knew she definitely didn't get a good face from him.

What the hell does this stubborn man want to do?

Does he really want to be my enemy?

Especially, I mean, what makes me most intolerable is that he actually left me behind, to everyone!

A large amount of capital was transferred by him to Africa, where his people had a special shipyard, and in just a few months, he converted all the capital into a war fleet and drove back to Europe!

Near Iberia, his fleet and the Spaniards seemed to have fought for the Dutch merchant fleet, the big one was beautiful, but it annoyed me even more!

These should have been mine! It's mine!

According to intelligence feedback, the dreadnought fleet plus Sun Qilan's original sea power, I mean the sea power gathered in Europe, has been nearly a quarter to a third of the total displacement of our warfleet!

But we are a country, and he is just a person, how can this be compared!

And the displacement I am talking about is the sum of all kinds of ships, the maximum mobilization displacement, and there are even many Hanseatic passenger ships from 200 years ago!

In other words, his fleet may be inferior to ours in terms of quantity, but it has already left us far behind in terms of quality!

This has touched my bottom line, and I will never allow such a situation to happen!

But he had already done so, and he had no intention of repenting!

If so, then I'll keep him...... Isn't it a little too indecisive?!

Isabella's meaning is basically the same as mine.

If we indulge him like this, it will only make things more complicated!

Since he refuses to cooperate with us and cannot be used by me, then I will destroy him so that no one can use it anymore!

......

The Praetorian Guard has already sent someone, although it is not what I wanted, but ...... But for the sake of the country, I had to do it!

After I have captured him, I will give him one last chance, and all the things I have promised will not change, but on the condition that he surrender completely, completely, and unreservedly to me!

The leader of the Praetorian Guard is back, why is there such an expression? What about people?

What the! He ran away? Left a letter!

How can it be?

Didn't the people of Ulsingham keep an eye on him? How could it be...... How could he let him run!

Give me the letter! Give it to me!

"Your Majesty,

The ancient Chinese people had a saying: Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself. Youyun: You do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth. I, Sun Qilan, have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for so many years, and if I pinch my fingers, Her Majesty should have been annoyed and angry, although I have the intention to resolve the contradictions, I have no intention of becoming cannon fodder! Stick to it, don't read it. All the best! ”

My hands are shaking! This...... This damn guy!

"Auntie, there's another line of words at the end!" Isabella reminded me from the side.

I squinted my eyes and looked carefully at the small line at the bottom of the letter.

"How to meet in the future, whether it is a friend or an enemy, all the decisions are left to Your Majesty!"
