"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for your victory in the war against the Kingdom of Spain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" congratulated Special Envoy George Macartney with a smile on his face.

Zhao Dutian looked at the British envoy George Macartney, who came to him in a formal suit, and knew that the British government had made a lot of efforts in this reconciliation, and also gave up some interests that were not too important, so that the Han Empire had safely annexed almost twice the territory!

Even if most of these territories are sparsely populated and undeveloped, it would be a great victory!

So George seems to want something in return?

"Special Envoy George Macartney is gracious, let's talk about something directly, we don't need these polite words." Zhao Dutian replied kindly.

Envoy George Macartney had long been accustomed to Zhao Dutian's straightforward nature, and while taking off his top hat and hanging it on the coat rack on the side, he said his intention: "Your Majesty, the military strength of the empire should continue to be strengthened, not reduced, and the center of gravity of the empire is better placed on land, rather than on the sea and ships.

This peace treaty did not completely resolve the contradiction with the French government, and it must have been clear to His Majesty that the reason for the end of the war was because the countries could no longer fight, not because they did not want to continue fighting!

According to our British intelligence, at most no more than 5 years, the French, who did not gain much in this battle, will continue to provoke fighters! ”

Zhao Dutian's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "A France, it is not enough to stir up such a big plate as Europe and the American continent, in the War for the Austrian Throne, the French army is just like that." ”

Georges Macartney's face was a little worried, and he sighed: "It's not just Madame de Pompadour and Louis XV of France who are unwilling to fail, but the biggest change is in the powerful queen who lost Silesia!"

Maria Theresa, the de facto ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, had always held a grudge against Frederick's Prussia, and according to the report, after the war, the queen carried out a large-scale reform of the country's internal system, especially the military system, through the rights seized during the war, abolishing many old aristocratic bureaucratic officers, and establishing a truly modern firearms unit modeled on the Prussian army!

This woman who hated Frederick, but regarded the Prussian army as a learning object and the main opponent, not only reformed the military system and tactics in accordance with the Prussian way, but also increased the investment in the number of artillery, and the Austrian kingdom at the end of the war, the size of the army did not decrease but increased! ”

"Hehe, that should be a good thing for you and me, Austria is a traditional ally of Britain, and the stronger the ally, the happier we should be?"

George Macartney raised his eyes and stared at Zhao Dutian, and said with a solemn face: "However, our King Majesty does not want to be an enemy of Prussia, and our parliament feels that the main enemy is France, not the newly rising Prussia!" ”

"Oh my God, your king won't still think about an alliance with Prussia, they are a natural ally of the French, although Frederick ruined Prussia's credibility in the last war, but in the face of national interests, even Louis XV would not push Prussia, a capable ally, out because of this 'small flaw'."

Envoy George Macartney smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you are not the king of England after all, our King George, but you are very worried about his beloved Hanover territory, the current Prussian territory is almost three bread clamps against Hanover, once Britain and Prussia start a war, King George's Hanover will definitely be lost as soon as possible!"

The most damned thing is that the nobles of the House of Lords, who know all day long that they sit in their offices and command blindly on the map, always fantasize that they can surround the mighty France through a perfect 'European alliance', and they naively think that if they win over Prussia, a regional power, they can form a real encirclement with the Kingdom of Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia against France, and if there is a war, they will surely win......"

Zhao Dutian bowed slightly: "Yes, if this kind of strategic alliance is really reached, it is almost inevitable that France will be dismantled, but let that stubborn woman form an alliance with the treacherous Frederick, unless your God manifests ......"

George Macartney glared at him and said, "A king who only cares about his own European territory, and a group of fools who think that the whole world only cares about national interests, in the next war, I am afraid that Britain will come to a dead end!"

Lose all the land on the European continent! ”

Zhao Dutian glanced at George Macartney, frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure: "Is this the reason why you are looking for me?" ”

Special envoy George Macartney sincerely persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Han Empire is now in the same boat as us and the United Kingdom, and you, who have annexed a large number of colonies in the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of France, have irreconcilable contradictions with these two countries, after all, Your Majesty, you have stepped on the wounds of these two countries to rise!"

Once Britain is defeated in Europe, the Han Empire will no longer be able to get any support from the British, and at that time, the Han Empire will face a war of annihilation! ”

"Haha, Georges Macartney's envoy, I think you are a little unfounded, there is no sign of war yet, France's finances are depleted, the Kingdom of Spain is almost unable to maintain its status as a second-rate country, and Frederick of Prussia is even more wary of the feuding queen all day long, what do you think, we seem to be in a good form, what do you say?"

Special Envoy George Macartney looked at Zhao Dutian with a stupid expression, and knew that his trip was in vain today......

He knew that if His Majesty had a decision in his heart, it would be difficult to change it, and since Zhao Dutian said so, he was naturally determined to continue to implement the imperial policy!

Zhao Dutian's attitude must be handed over to the London government immediately!

Zhao Dutian looked at the departing figure of George Macartney's envoy, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Do you really think of the Han Empire as a dog in your Britain?

Europe is now a time of recuperation, and if I don't use this time to do what I want to do and expand my strength as much as possible, when the next war comes, I will really become a dog!

The reason why Zhao Dutian reduced the number of the army, opened the road of professionalism and standing army, and expanded the investment in the navy, naturally had his own plans!

In North America, the Han Empire had expanded to the limit at this time, and Zhao Dutian wanted to make himself stronger, so he naturally shifted his attention to new targets! (To be continued.) )
