Since defeating the Spanish Invincible Armada, England, an island country located at the foot of the European continent, has undergone major changes in its external focus, from the original continental policy to the sea. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although they were not too strong when they defeated England's Armada, they were at least compared to the rest of Europe, and they had officially taken their first steps towards the sea.

Stimulated by various policies, the English were full of adventure in the New World, constantly expanding outward, and after many expansions, they finally established their own colonies in some areas, and it was because of this that they had the strength to replace the Dutch and become the maritime hegemon.

The reason why the British were able to become the supremacy of the sea had a lot to do with their own environment, after all, they were located on an island country and had a natural advantage, so they officially set foot on the sea like the Spanish and Dutch.

Although in Europe they were allies with the Dutch against Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, but in the Americas they were absolute rivals, after all, the Dutch were limited, and their main focus was on the Far East, and the territory of the Americas was not very important.

They also knew the situation on the battlefield very well, and knew that the Dutch had obviously changed their operations after adopting Australian weapons.

This change speaks for itself from the fact that they did not need to rely on the help of the British and were able to fight the Dutch alone, which shows what it says that Australian weapons played a decisive role.

As a result, the English also began to consider contacting Australia alone, hoping to buy a lot of weapons from them.

According to their thinking, as long as they have better weapons, they will play a key role in the expansion of both Europe and the Americas.

Don't look at them as allies with the Dutch in Europe, but for this ally, the Dutch have always been wary of them, and never took the initiative to introduce Australian officials to know them, this obviously conservative plot made the English see that the Dutch were guarding against them.

It would have been difficult to say that a rift had arisen between the allies because of such a thing, and on the one hand they would have tried to make up for it, but the Dutch did not do so, and after they had defeated the Spanish attacks in succession alone, they became more and more conservative towards the British.

They would refuse to meet or negotiate with Australians, and closely monitor every move around the consulate.

Of course, as long as they want to see it, there is naturally a way to see it, otherwise how could they buy weapons.

The British helped Dutch businessmen who had dealings with the Australian consulate to enter the consulate and meet the Australians.

"Dear Mr. Consul, I am an emissary of the Kingdom of England, and the purpose of my visit is very simple, that is, to purchase some Australian weapons, and to carry out comprehensive cooperation between the two sides, we can provide all favorable conditions."

Favorable conditions, this envoy named Brown, did not brag and exaggerate Britain's ability, after all, Australia itself can know some information through various channels, so naturally it will not believe the lies they say, it is better to tell the truth directly, so that maybe the other party will listen to it well, and it is very likely that he will agree.

Well, the benefits that the British can provide, it seems that they can't help much, they don't have many cards in their hands, and as for the part of India that they occupy, those places are not what Australia wants.

Australia does not have a good impression of the UK, but it will definitely not directly refuse the other party, and will definitely give the other party a chance to explain.

Mr. Brown, tell me what kind of help you can provide, and what is the so-called comprehensive cooperation.

We can help you establish a colony in the Americas, and we can have Australian merchant ships docked at British docks, and of course we can allow your goods to be sold to every area under British control.

Speaking of which, this last condition is what Australia wants, and Australia needs a market, a huge market to consume the capacity of local factories.

Of course, the market in the UK is still very large, after all, there are millions of people, such a large group, they can consume a lot of things.

In addition, the Thirty Years' War in Europe did not take place in Britain itself, but on the European continent, so the life of the people in their country was still relatively good.

Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why they were able to rise quickly after the war, otherwise how could they have risen quickly.

But what kind of American colonies are they talking about, it's too far away, Australia doesn't have the strength to involve that far, just the last one in front of you.

After all, for Australia, the importance of the market is very important, not to mention that there is a lot of profit from Daming every year.

With such a large market in England, there is no reason for Australia to give up.

I think we can talk about open markets, and as for the Americas, it's so barren there, and Australia doesn't think like that.

That part of the Americas was desolate, and there were Dutch forces, and the Spaniards, which were intricately intertwined, and it was not a wise choice to run and occupy a colony without absolute strength.

If you want to choose, the British market is more attractive, which is really hated, after all, from a country like Australia, having a market can support their development.

So many industrial products, if they are not consumed, they can only become a pile of waste products, and Australia not only has to accompany money, but also can enter negative growth.

Considering this situation, there is still a very high possibility that Australia will cooperate with the United Kingdom.

The British are also a pawn in the hands of Australia, they are the main pawn used to contain the Netherlands, after all, the Dutch can't move too fast, and the Netherlands is also a pawn to spy on the UK.

The importance of the presence of both sides is still very great.

As long as they can expand the market, there is nothing to sell a batch of arms in exchange, and the most important thing is to let their market allow Australia to fall into the slow development of the economy of the industry for rapid development, as long as there is money, I am afraid that there is no goal to develop.

The British wanted similar weapons to the Dutch, after all, they had also seen what kind of weapons the other side used, and the Australian side had no other reaction to these weapons, which basically expressed their affirmation of exports.

After all, if you want to take advantage of the British, you have to come up with some of the benefits, otherwise why would the other party let you take advantage of it. (To be continued.) )
