Youxi himself is not disgusted with Matthias, and even admires this desperate young man who is unwilling to fall, but he feels a little strange about my attitude.

It stands to reason that her appearance, knowledge, character, family background and even all aspects belong to the best choice, compared to Huamei, and compared to the kite, it is even more different.

But after she showed me her feelings, why could I still sit back and watch other men's pursuit of her so relaxed and happy, and even took the initiative to push it out!

Is he really not jealous at all? Youxi was puzzled in his heart.

In fact, the answer is already in her heart, but she is unwilling to accept this reality.

The trade fair went very smoothly, and both my own American Chamber of Commerce and the Dutch East India Company, as a shareholder, signed a number of mutually beneficial trade agreements with Germany, which was a standard win-win situation.

Then I left Germany - I received news that Spain had to take the initiative to strengthen the recruitment and construction of the navy because France had made it clear that it would no longer participate in the Anglo-Spanish dispute, and because Germany was also ambiguous because of some minor episodes in the political situation.

It is said that in recent times, shipyards in Seville, Barcelona, Valencia, Vigo, A Coruña and other places have been rushing to produce warships non-stop, almost regardless of the cost.

And the plundering of colonial resources in Central and South America, Africa, and the Indian Ocean has also entered an outrageous stage! The collection of mineral resources is completely destructive and reckless, and the tax revenue has also increased to more than 50%.

It's like a gambler who has put all his possessions on the line and is ready to play the last hand, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a beneficiary. However, the great turmoil it caused was definitely not limited to Spain, and its influence had spread across national borders, radiating throughout Europe, as well as the colonies and vassal states of various countries.

When I returned to England, I received a summons from the Queen at the port and rushed to the Palace of Westminster to meet Her Majesty.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I remembered that I was in a hurry to come back this time, and I didn't even have time to change my clothes, so I hurried in the samurai costume I used to wear in the world.

I wanted to turn my head and change my clothes, and I wondered that since it was an urgent call, I couldn't care about these red tapes, and I went in first, and then said, Elizabeth I could still eat me because of this?

Who knew that it didn't matter if you didn't change your clothes this time, but it really caused an incident! If I had to choose again, I wouldn't have gone to Elizabeth I so recklessly, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world, right?

In the side hall, I saw Elizabeth I, also dressed in military attire, and I was stunned - when did the queen get into this tone? Hasn't she always been dressed in gorgeous clothes?

Thinking about it, the current situation between Britain and Spain is like fire and water, and a war is about to break out, so the queen's gesture is naturally in line with the situation, and it is also an example for the top and bottom.

Thinking about this, I made up my mind, stepped forward and performed a standard military salute - the standard military salute of the Ming Dynasty, and changed the title in my mouth: "Your Majesty the Supreme Commander, I have rushed back in response to your call!" ”

Elizabeth I stared at me, but did not speak. I thought I had made a mistake, and was thinking about whether I should change my words, but I heard Elizabeth I murmur:

"Ever since I was chosen by my father, King Henry VIII, as my heir to the Queen, I have resolved not to marry for the rest of my life. Do you know what the reason is? Qilan. ”

I was stunned when asked, eldest sister, I don't count whether you marry or not, and to be honest, your old man has never been married, and the small marriage has not been broken, but I know this.

But I couldn't say this, so when I came out, it became: "Your Majesty, Supreme Commander, you are devoted to the country, and you have given up your personal happiness, and you are very respectful and respectful below!" ”

Elizabeth I nodded slowly, "I rejected the marriage proposal of the heads of state in order to prevent the annexation of the territory through marriage, as happened in Portugal. And I don't marry a domestic nobleman because I don't want to have factional strife because of this. ”

I nodded, not speaking, because I didn't know what she was going to say. But listening to the queen continue to speak, her voice was already a little agitated: "But I am not a ruthless person, nor do I want to get married, but I have never found a suitable person." ”

I continued to be speechless, but it sounded a little indescribable, so naturally I couldn't make sense.

But I heard Elizabeth I say quietly: "The person I want to marry must meet three conditions." ”

As she spoke, she continued to look at me and said, "First, it must not be the royal family or aristocracy of any Western country, and it must not be entangled with the interests of one or several parties. ”

I chuckled in my heart, there was something in this, I better not take it, and stood solemnly, silently waiting for the queen's last two points.

"Second, you must be talented and meritorious." He looked at me playfully and continued: "Qilan, you are in a good hurry, especially this trip to France and Lourdes, which has been of great benefit to me!" Yay! Yay! ”

I knew that I could no longer hide it, so I immediately humbly said: "This is my duty, and there is nothing to boast about, the queen has won the prize." ”

Elizabeth I did not speak, but continued to say lightly: "This third point, but also the most important point, is to understand me, understand me, and support some of my actions!" ”

As she spoke, she looked at me and continued: "Since the declaration of the state of emergency, I have demanded and disciplined myself in a state of wartime, and everyone has said that I am crazy - Spain is so powerful, how can I resist! Only you, Qilan! ”

"You still support me, trust me, and support me with your actions! I'm so relieved! ”

There's a lot more to her voice, I know, it's called tenderness.

But I can't be blessed with this tenderness - she is twenty years older than me, surrounded by countless male favorites, a strong political woman, and can give up everything for power!

What's more, I already have kites, how can I accept such an unexpected "invitation" again?

So I arched my hand again and said, "What Your Majesty said is the duty of a courtier, and it is really inadequate. I admire Your Majesty's noble feelings, and sincerely wish Your Majesty to find the person you want as soon as possible! At that time, I should congratulate myself on a great gift. ”

Without waiting for her to answer, he immediately added: "I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and this trip to France and Lourdes has made some achievements." But Spain is already fully prepared for the war, and it is hoped that Her Majesty will make plans in advance. ”

Seeing that I was not answered, Elizabeth I's face was calm, but Isabella, who was standing beside her, had a very strange expression. For royal ladies like them, they are the only ones who refuse others, when will it be the turn of others to reject them?

Therefore, when she heard my soft and hard answer, she really didn't understand - this is something that many people dream of but can't get, as long as you nod, you can reach the sky in one step!

What's more, there are many people in the side hall who say much, and there are many people who say less, so I refuse Her Majesty's show of love in public, am I really not afraid of causing disadvantage in the future?

Or does this Oriental don't care about any of this at all? But is there really a person in this world who regards fame and fortune as dung? Or is he trying to get away with it?

Isabella secretly said in her heart, let's observe first, but unfortunately, my aunt also took a fancy to her......

The atmosphere in the side hall became strange for a while, no one spoke, and there was no other sound.

I waited silently for the queen to speak, after all, my question had been thrown, she had not yet answered, and this was her business, and if I asked again, it would be arrogant.

Sure enough, after a while, Elizabeth I spoke again, but her voice was much colder: "I understand what you said, I have issued an order for the whole army to be mobilized, just waiting for the Spaniards to attack!" You can fight it with all your might! ”

I shook my head and said, "Not enough, Your Majesty!" As soon as these words came out, Elizabeth I's face changed slightly, and she couldn't figure out why I frequently questioned and opposed her decision, which had never happened before.

So she continued, "Oh! Why not enough? ”

I know that the continuous confrontation just now made her very unhappy, but I have my principles and bottom line, and it is impossible to say and do things that violate my conscience in order to make her happy.

At most, I will leave the UK, will she dare to attack me at this time? If she did, she would be the biggest fool of all time, but it was clear that Elizabeth I was not.

There's a good thing about dealing with a smart person, at least he or she won't do something stupid that makes people vomit blood, and everyone has the same rules.

So I continued: "Your actions are enough in normal times to deal with general attacks, but this time is different! Dramatically different! ”

Elizabeth I immediately frowned, but knowing that I was not an alarmist and sensationalist, she asked in a low voice, "What's the difference?" ”

I raised the palms of my hands to the front of my abdomen, made a slight fist clenching motion, and said loudly: "King Philip II of Spain has adopted a destructive mining mode this time, and it is completely to strengthen the army under the condition of overload, this is not an ordinary war, but a life-and-death battle between the destruction of the country and the destruction of the country!" ”

As I spoke, I walked to the map, pointed to the Spanish mainland with the top of the indicator rod, and said, "On the mainland, Philip II has gathered more than 200 large warships, not counting small ships!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the new continent, Africa and other places: "The resources of its vast colonies are being continuously transported to the Spanish mainland, and all the shipyards are rushing to produce warships at full speed!" It won't be long before they will be able to double the displacement of the fleet! ”

After speaking, he threw down the indicator pole heavily, and the wooden pole smashed on the ground, making a crisp sound of "Ganglang Langlang", and several listeners were stunned.

But listening to my tone, it faded: "If in this case, the queen still thinks that she is holding the pearl of wisdom and winning steadily, and she is unwilling to make a bigger move, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will have to say goodbye in advance." ”

This is also a way I can't help, on the one hand, the queen has such an idea, and after I refuse, she will be very displeased, but I am afraid that if I don't say it, I will make things difficult in the future.

On the other hand, I don't know if I went too far and changed history excessively, causing Philip II to be greatly stimulated to prepare for war in this reckless way.

But in either case, it is not something that can be solved by conventional means. So I had to stimulate Elizabeth I and make her wake up!

Of course, if she is still obsessed, I will just get off the donkey and walk away.

Anyway, after fighting this battle on such a scale, even if Spain wins, it will be a miserable victory, and my strength from across the shore is intact, and with the support of France and the Netherlands, I can completely compete with it, and I don't even know if I bite back!

So I simply had a showdown, and what the future would hold was all in Elizabeth I's thoughts.

There was silence again, and the guards inside and outside the house had already tightened their weapons, as long as the queen gave the order, I was afraid that they would start to arrest people.

But this time it didn't take too long, but I heard the queen sigh lowly, and said with infinite amazement in her tone: "This is probably the difference between a hero and an ordinary man!" I read that right. ”

Said Zhengse: "What Qilan said is reasonable, this king will give an order on the same day to install new warships, add new artillery, and train sailors and crews at full speed!" Since Philip II wants to play a big game, I, Elizabeth Tudor, will be with me to the end! ”
