Chapter 135: Britain Takes the Initiative

The Battle of Kaisersdorf broke out in Europe, and Field Marshal Leopold I (Old Man Dessau), who was in Prussia proper, repelled a long-range Austro-Saxon army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Afterwards, the old man of Dessau pursued the victory into Saxony, shook the Dresden garrison, and joined Frederick's main force, which arrived later, into the city, Frederick forbade the robbery, and saved the son of August III and made him flee to Prague. Frederick tolerated his acceptance to withdraw his troops from Saxony, on the condition that the Elector of Saxony would recognize his possession of Silesia, as Britain did. Abandoning support for Maria Theresia Auguste, who agreed without much loss to Saxony, and after being betrayed by Britain and Saxony, Maria Theresia lost almost all of her allies, finally agreed to negotiate peace, and reaffirmed in the Peace of Dresden that Silesia belonged to Prussia!

The withdrawal of Frederick's Prussian army from the war was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhao Dutian, so that Austria, which still maintained an ally with Britain, could spare its energy and go all out to deal with the enemy led by France!

Obviously, Frederick's unilateral peace with Maria Theresia annoyed the French!

But this was not enough to stop the desire of the powerful French army in Europe at that time, especially the French army, which was in a good situation on the battlefield, to continue fighting, and the king of France, who was so happy, would not seek reconciliation in humiliation because of the retreat of a vile traitor, Frederick!

As Zhao Dutian had predicted, the war between Austria and Prussia ended, but the war between Britain and France intensified, with France at war with Austria and England in order to rule Flanders; France and Spain fought against Austria and Sardinia for Italian domination.

The arrogance and greed of the French made it impossible to end this war, which had lasted for several years and caused huge economic losses and casualties to European countries!

The escalation of the war between Britain, France, the Kingdom of Spain and other European countries gave Zhao Dutian's Han Empire another opportunity to reap the benefits!

Although Frederick, a militarily powerful opponent, was appeased, the British could not see the dawn of hope for peace, so the British cabinet government set its sights on all those who could be exploited!

The British Empire, which had already happily cooperated with the Han Empire once, found that this barbaric Indian Empire still kept its treaty commitments, and the Indian mercenaries who supported it, even if they were used as cannon fodder by the British commanders and died in large numbers in the harsh siege warfare, Zhao Dutian must have no intention of being angry and protesting, and the combat effectiveness of the army that the Han Empire had initially completed firearms was much stronger than those backward Indian tribes.

This undoubtedly made the British full of good feelings for Zhao Dutian of the Han Empire, and the British would not be grateful to the Indian soldiers who died for themselves in the New French Colony, they knew that the reason why these Indian soldiers obeyed the orders of the British to fight was not because they were afraid of the white man's armament, but because the families of these Indian soldiers were in the hands of Zhao Dutian!

Moreover, after cooperating with the Han Empire, the British cabinet government was also fully aware of the political structure of the Han Empire, which was different from the relatively democratic management of the Indian tribes in the traditional sense, but more like the ancient country of the East, and the fate of the country depended entirely on the ideas of a few people in the upper class!

It can even be said that the Han Empire, which is a smaller country, is even more thorough than the dictatorship of the Qing Dynasty!

All the affairs of the Han Empire depended entirely on the will of the emperor Zhao Dutian, who combined religious and secular rights!

It's the kind of complete will verdict!

This point is more prominent and thorough than the Qing Empire in the East, and the means of maintaining personal dictatorship by the emperor of the Han Empire also made the British government feel cruel and unbearable.

Moreover, Zhao Dutian has no value bottom line at all, after the retrospective investigation of the British, when the Han Empire was first established, the chiefs of other Indian tribes who supported Zhao Dutian are now not much left......

Either they became ordinary commoners, or the entire family disappeared without a trace......

Every time the Han Empire won a victory and won the praise of the common people, Zhao Dutian would use the increase in his prestige to carry out some extreme measures against those dishonest Indian nobles!

The timing of this dictatorial monarch's selection was very good, and Zhao Dutian, who had a perfect Jinyi guard system, was also clean and neat in eradicating dissidents, and it can be said that the Han Empire achieved a high degree of unity of internal rule by virtue of its victory in foreign wars!

However, the British don't care about this, they don't have the leisure to pity those Indian groups who are ruled by Zhao Dutian's high pressure, the British only need to know that the military strength of the Han Empire is available, and the fate of the Han Empire is completely decided by a tyrant dictatorship, this is enough!

Therefore, this time, the British Empire sent a regular diplomatic envoy headed by George Macartney to take the initiative to enter the Han Empire and propose to formally establish diplomatic relations with Zhao Dutian!

In order to pull Zhao Dutian's Han Empire into the battlefield to make up for the lack of troops and financial depletion in their North American colonies, the British made a sufficient gesture!

The British cabinet government is not like the Qing Empire, as long as there are interests, face or something can be sold for a good price, this time the British Empire is to use an equal identity to make friends with the Han Empire, in the eyes of the British, this is already a very face-saving measure!

Although many people in the British government oppose this kind of specification to make friends with an Indian country, it is an indisputable fact that the Han Empire can draw tens of thousands of capable soldiers, and if a diplomatic mission of the same specification can be exchanged for tens of thousands of allied troops, this deal is not a loss to fools!

This is also the key to the British government's ability to implement a joint resolution with Zhao Dutian under the resistance of many nobles!

When Zhao Dutian learned that the British government had openly sent an official diplomatic mission, he knew that his good opportunity had come!

The British, who can't afford to be unprofitable, can put down their faces, obviously they have a request for themselves!

Since he is asking for himself, he will naturally not let his imperial interests be damaged, and judging from the situation on the battlefield in Europe, Zhao Dutian can already roughly guess the British plot!

Zhao Dutian is not the corrupt upper class of the Qing Empire, he knows all day long that he is shrinking his neck and dreaming of the heavenly kingdom, and then he disdains all foreign forces......
