"The British have been dancing very happily lately."

The envoy of the Englishman talked eloquently in the great tent of the princes.

But some people are smiling.

In fact, both in the Protestant coalition and in the church coalition, there are some people who are not very gregarious.

After all, under the entanglement of interests, it is normal for everyone to have a little friction.

It's just that when everyone is faced with the greater good, they are forced by the situation to unite.

The middle-aged man who whispered to his friend below, but looked at the British envoy who was not very kind, was such a person.

He was originally a minor nobleman in Italy, the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and a maritime merchant.

It's just that his family's merchant ships have suffered a lot of losses recently, and they have basically been looted by the British.

Speaking of which, it is also this guy who is unlucky, and at the same time the British are too greedy.

Because the Song Empire controlled the Americas in its own hands, it did not give other European countries a foothold at all, plus the empire defeated the British, the Dutch and the Spaniards.

Therefore, the merchant ships of these three countries do not go to the Americas very much.

Of course, this is only on the surface, in fact, in private, the merchant ships of these countries still go to the Americas to do business.

Because no one is going to have trouble with money.

It's a big deal to change the flag of the merchant ship, which is not a difficult task.

Therefore, this guy's fleet also changed to the French flag and went to the Americas to continue their business.

However, no one could have imagined that the British would start plundering the waters west of Portugal, and that all ships flying Portuguese and French flags were all targets of the British.

Even if the other party shows his identity, he can't change the flag.

In fact, it's normal to think about it, these British guys have been poor to death lately, and they finally saw how they could give up a goal.

You say that you are not a French merchant ship or a Portuguese merchant ship, who believes it, even if it is true, you have to rob it.

Anyway, there is a privateer warrant. If something happens, the British royal family will be in their pockets.

In this way, the British made that sea area into a miasma, which also led to serious losses for many people.

Now that this little nobleman has seen the envoy of the English, how can he have a good face.

But he won't be in trouble now, after all, what he did was not authentic.

The British are now part of the Ecclesiastical Military League, no matter what.

They were beaten by the Song Empire in the Americas, lost their colonies in the Americas, and continued to maintain trade ties with the Song Empire as allies on their side, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

But but. The British strengthened their merchant ships, and this revenge must be avenged.

Among the others, there are many people who have suffered the same thing as him.

The British envoys who talked eloquently did not know how much trouble the maritime merchants with the privateering warrants issued by the British royal family had caused them after they became pirates.

"In this way, I propose that the British royal family first help Spain advance this military expenses and supplies, and when we help Spain recover the country, we will supervise the return of this money to the Spaniards to the British."

The little nobleman at this time. Suddenly, he proposed.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Yes, the little nobleman's proposal did make a lot of sense.

The British entered the war later, not as if they had been fighting with the Protestant coalition for a long time.

Therefore, the British should be able to get this military expenditure and supplies.

As long as you get this military money. Then they can conscript and help Spain recover, right?

Besides, the British helped the Spaniards to pay the money in advance, and they were supervising the Spaniards to pay back the money to the British.

The Spaniards were beaten and fled. Panic is like a lost dog, if they can return to the country such a small condition, they will not refuse.

That's what everyone thinks in their hearts.

But. The British envoy stood there with a very unpleasant face, and did not make a sound.

It was as if he was reluctant to make the offer.

In fact, this envoy knew the meaning of the British country, so they did not mean to help Spain recover.

They just don't want to see France and Portugal become strong like that, because it's not good for Britain.

First of all, the French and the British were not at odds with each other, but now that the French occupied more than half of Spain, their strength suddenly skyrocketed and they became a great power.

If the French are given a little time and let them digest and develop steadily, will they have a good life for the British in the future?

It is important to know that the French have a strong hatred of the British.

The Portuguese, on the other hand, were even simpler, as the country's geography was still on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and the African continent, so it was particularly important to the British.

British merchant ships wanted to go to the Mediterranean, or to the African continent.

Then it must pass through the territory and sea of the Portuguese.

If the Portuguese and the French were allied, would the British have good fruit to eat later?

Britain is an island country with very scarce natural resources.

All, some of the strategic materials they need, need to be replenished and purchased from the European continent.

But if you can't travel to the Mediterranean and Africa, you won't be able to get them.

Even if it can be through other channels, it will cost a lot of money for no reason, which is very much worth the loss.

It was with this in mind that the British were so concerned about confronting Portugal and France with the help of the Church's military might.

Of course, the British had other plans.

That is, they have their own little abacus.

For the British, they would not sit idly by and watch the rise of Portugal, nor did they want to see the Church and the Habsburg vassal states win and expand their territory.

And I don't want to see the Protestant coalition win!

Whichever side won the most victorious victory, the British had no real advantage.

All he has to do now is muddy the waters and turn the continent into complete chaos.

The British, then, took advantage of the lack of time for the continent to expand into Africa and India to open up new routes and colonies and gain trade there.

As for the American continent...... The British didn't dare to make up their minds.

Since there is no way to survive in the Americas on the other side of the Atlantic, the British have to look elsewhere, right?

You can see it. The Song Empire did not have much interest in Africa or India.

Because these places are too far away from the Song Empire.

The Song Empire is not interested, but that doesn't mean that the British are not interested.

In fact, where did the British know that the Song Empire was not uninterested, but it was just that it could not be taken care of for the time being because of the population problem.

Africa and India and the East, now owned by the Dutch and the Spaniards and the Portuguese, it was very difficult for the British to intervene.

But this must have been difficult before.

But now, it has given the British a big chance.

Now that the precursors of chaos had begun in Europe, the British would not be able to take care of the affairs of the colonies as long as all the countries of Europe were involved in the war.

After all, for these countries. The affairs of the colonies are as important as those of Europe itself.

Now the Protestant coalition and the Church coalition are facing each other, but after the Portuguese defeated Portugal, they began to recuperate, which is absolutely intolerable.

After all, the British were now on the side of the Church coalition, and if he wanted to peek into Africa and India, he would inevitably clash with the Dutch and the Portuguese.

The Dutch are now caught up in the war in the Netherlands, but the Portuguese have joined forces with the French to kill the Spaniards, and there is nothing to be done.

So, the British had to give the Portuguese a bit of trouble.

At the same time, the British fleet wanted to go to Africa and India. Then you will have to pass through Portugal's westernmost territory in Europe, which is a certainty.

So only by letting Portugal mess up will the British have a chance.

It is certainly not possible to deal with Portugal with the strength of the British alone.

After all, the battleships of the British. When the pirates were plotting, they were wiped out by the Song Empire.

Therefore, England needed the strength and help of the vassal states of the Church.

You know, there is a France behind Portugal.

As long as the vassal states of the church join in. Then the British will retreat and start to march into Africa and India.

When the time comes, the naval battle between Portugal and France will be left to the Church and the Habsburg princely states.

I have to say. The British abacus beads are really crackling.

However, it is not surprising that the British have always been rude, arrogant, obscene, and arrogant under the appearance of their gentlemen.

Therefore, doing such a despicable thing is also a normal category.

If the British really became gentlemen, that would be a strange thing.

Isn't that a country that puts gold on its own country's face?

The British are gentlemen...... Whoever believes in it is the biggest stupid person.

In the Netherlands, in the tent of the vassal states of the Church League, when the petty nobleman made this suggestion, he immediately won the support and approval of many people.

Everyone agreed to the proposal to let the British pay for the military and supply supplies, weapons and food.

Haven't you been very active?

Now let's see if you mean it.

That's what everyone thinks in their hearts.

The British envoy was a bit of a wax now, too, because he really couldn't say no in the current situation.

Their performance in the early stage was indeed very active, so that everyone could see that they were very anxious about Spain being defeated by Portugal.

Now it's time to see how they really perform.

But the problem is that the British envoy knows about his family's affairs, and it's okay to move his mouth, but if he really does it, it is estimated that the royal family will stop cooking.

However, seeing the expectant looks on the faces of the participants, the envoy knew that he would never refuse.

Damn, damn it.

In the messenger's heart, he cursed the nobleman who made this suggestion ten thousand times, ten thousand times.

"This matter is too big for me to call the shots, so I need to feed this matter back to China and let the domestic high-level leaders come up with a final decision."

This answer is quite decent.

Indeed, he is only a small messenger, and he has no way to call the shots about this matter.

Because the amount of money involved, as well as materials, equipment and food, is really too large.

If it were not for the consent of the British royal family, it would have been impossible to carry it out.

Seeing that the British envoy was still holding on, the little nobleman who made this suggestion smiled in his heart.

Damn, let you British rob my merchant ships, and let you know the way of the road now.

If he can make the British uncomfortable, he will be comfortable.

"You've been very active in the UK at this time, and I hope you can do the same as you do in the end. Don't back down at such a critical juncture, and don't let us think you're just talking. ”

Although everyone agreed with the envoy's words, some people unceremoniously reminded the British envoy.

In fact, these people are very clear about what kind of virtue the British are.

And the British have their own little plans, and these people can guess some.

But what they didn't expect was that the British had plans much bigger than they had guessed.

In the plans of the British, as long as Europe is in chaos.

Then as an Englishman who hangs alone outside the continent, you can withdraw from the wall and watch.

In short, they want Europe to be chaotic for a hundred years, which is best for the British.

The British, who had withdrawn from the situation, could rely on their own geographical advantages to occasionally help the weakened side.

From time to time, add oil and vinegar or something, and keep the war in Europe alive.

It is impossible for these people to guess this kind of intention of the British.

In fact, everyone thinks that the British are just trying to get them to do it, and they are just trying to reap the benefits of following behind.

It is also called greedy for cheap, but you don't want to pay anything.

It's a pity that the British plan is even more obscene than they suspected.

The envoy then left the tent in a hurry and set off for England.

He reported the proposal of the alliance members to the royal family, and then it was up to them to decide.

The British advance money.

Ha Lu Ha, it's a little hard.

In the concession on the outskirts of Lisbon, the administrator of Chinese descent got this information, and after reading it, he smiled and told the adjutant his opinion.

The adjutant nodded and replied, "Yes, with the character of the British, they can't advance money." They don't have much money in themselves, and although it is said that the Spanish royal family will pay back if they win in the future, no one knows how many years this war will be fought, and if the war continues, then the British will be dumbfounded. ”

The adjutant spoke his mind.

"So, I don't think the British will advance money."

The administrator smiled: "It seems that these people will have to be involved for a while." We must inform the Portuguese and French at once that they may find the Spanish crown as soon as possible, so that they may gain the maximum initiative, and at the same time tell them that the situation in the occupied territories must be stabilized as soon as possible.
