Chapter 181: Stupid Englishman
Including the Great Food Country, the Ming Dynasty and various feudal countries, they are all preparing for the New Year.
Britain and the United States have already begun a quarrel for the new year.
After Pitt's second questioning was over, Pete continued to follow the Prince of Wales.
Once again, he reiterated the correctness of his advice, and continued to brainwash the Prince of Wales repeatedly.
Since the Prince of Wales has no opinion, he turned his thoughts into his instinctive reaction.
Pitt also took Monroe with him to meet the Prince of Wales.
Discuss it with Monroe and introduce it to the Prince of Wales as other compromise options in the future.
Pitt convinces Monroe that the end result will be at least similar to Scotland and Ireland.
Make the United States part of the United Kingdom.
In the following period, the British House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the relevant American meetings were held one after another.
On the American side, opinion leaders such as Adams, Jefferson, and Madison are also active.
Began to call for and prepare for the establishment of an all-American Congress.
The whole thing is gradually moving towards Pitt's plan.
But the murmur soon followed.
There was beginning to be clear opposition from the United States side to the United Kingdom, and more questions were being raised about the status of the United Kingdom after the incorporation.
This is an inherent concern, and with a little cooperation from Da Ming, it quickly spread.
As for Britain itself, resistance to the United States joining the United Kingdom was the dominant trend of thought.
The friendly people of Daming don't have to work hard at all, and a little recommendation is a large number of articles constantly emerging.
Pete looked at the latest newspapers and vaguely felt that someone might be deliberately luring.
But there is no obvious evidence to be found, because these situations could have been possible, but they came by a little coincidence.
These circumstances left Pete feeling exhausted.
Pete felt that he was driving a ship that was not very sturdy in the middle of a raging storm, and that the ship could be wrecked at any moment.
Maintain the situation, push the council forward, work until the second half of the night every day, get up again before dawn, and rarely get enough sleep for four hours a day.
From the maintenance of the anti-Ming alliance, to the peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, to the establishment of the League of Nations, and now to the maintenance of stability in the American colonies.
Pete has been working at this intensity for several years, and he doesn't know how long he will be working like this in the future.
Pitt originally had the idea of delaying the resolution on the American issue as much as possible, reducing the impact of the peace talks as much as possible, and consolidating his position.
But in the face of growing skepticism, a growing wave of opposition, Pete soon made a new decision:
At all costs, promote the union of the official homeland with Britain as soon as possible, even if it is only a minimum.
And then gradually deepen the degree of unity, like the Glorious Revolution, like the gradual integration of Scotland and Ireland.
Before the Ming New Year, in the British House of Commons, at the ninth meeting of the discussion on the American question, Pitt took the initiative to take a step back.
Of course, it was expressed after nearly an hour of verbal strife-to-war with the opposition.
To the other councillors, Pete seemed to be tired, tired, and compromised, and finally took a step back:
"Since there are those who are always concerned about the drag that the United States is putting on the United Kingdom, I propose one last real bottom line option.
"Directly form the Kingdom of America and establish a united council for the American territories.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be the King of the United States, and Mr. Monroe will be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the United States.
"Now His Royal Highness is only the regent of the United Kingdom for the time being, not the king of the United Kingdom.
"So the Kingdom of America will be on its own for the time being, and it will be largely unable to affect the United Kingdom itself.
"When the Prince of Wales succeeded to the throne, the Kingdom of America and the United Kingdom became a confederation.
"Just like Scotland, Ireland and England.
"Then choose the right time to introduce a new joint law.
"We have to make a decision as soon as possible, and the situation in the United States does not allow us to delay indefinitely.
"Please make a decision as soon as possible."
As soon as Pete's words fell, Charles James Fox, who had just confronted Pitt, stood up.
Fox was Pitt's main opponent, and after discovering Pitt's concession, he almost did not hesitate to catch up:
"We are not ready for the United States to be incorporated into the United Kingdom.
"We, and our voters, are not prepared to accept the American ballots, and the large number of politicians.
"I am in favour of the establishment of the Kingdom of America, but I am opposed to the establishment of the American Parliament and the inauguration of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales as King of the Kingdom of America.
"To be on the safe side, England is King of the United States by His Royal Highness Prince Frederick, Duke of York."
Frederick, Duke of York, is the younger brother of the Prince of Wales and the second son of King George III.
The Prince of Wales is the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom, and the Prince of Wales is the King of the United States and will establish a confederation after inheriting the British throne.
However, if the Duke of York became King of the United States, Britain and the United States would be officially divided after the succession of the Prince of Wales.
Pete squirted straight back:
"What is the difference between the inauguration of His Royal Highness the Duke of York as King of the United States and the direct division of the American territories?
"I have repeated countless times that the United Kingdom cannot afford to lose the United States.
"The 20 million Britons of America cannot be lost, and the land and resources of the United States.
"After the loss of the United States, Britain will become a second-rate country!
"The King of the United States of America shall be held either directly by His Majesty the King or by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
"In any case, it is impossible to give it to anyone else!"
Fox doesn't seem to care about American independence:
"Why can't America be lost?
"Do you think Britain is a first-class country now?
"Do you think that Britain has become the Roman Empire, on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty?
"The situation in the United States of America is too complex, and the consequences of a hasty merger with the United Kingdom would be incalculable.
"The infrastructure in most parts of the United States is very poor compared to Britain.
"The United States of America will be a burden to the United Kingdom, a drag to its revitalization.
"Allowing the United States to be relatively independent in a controlled state is the most reasonable option."
Pete himself had already made concessions, but the opponent was so unappreciative that he was reminding him of Zhu Jingyuan's words.
The retreat of the Ming Dynasty is easy to be regarded as weakness by Xiyi, so there can be no concession in the face of the Taixi countries.
Pete thought it was too much of a reason at the time, but now he thinks it's the nature of the Tessie.
All kinds of emotions converged, and under the catalytic fermentation of exhaustion, Pete said loudly with some anger:
"Stinking, stupid, ugly, short-sighted British, you kind of waste is the real drag on the strength of the United Kingdom!"
Pete scolded happily, and then he felt a flower in front of him, as if something was flying over.
Pete, who was highly concentrated, subconsciously dodged, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw clearly what it was.
A leather shoe.
At the banquet after the peace talks, it began to appear, and at the beginning of this year, it began to be officially sold in Paris, France, and the new high-heeled shoes designed by His Royal Highness Prince Daishi.
I don't know when it became popular in the UK, and some people wore it to the House of Commons.
The shoe flew over Pete's head and landed in the middle of the council seat opposite.
Loud screams rang out, and the entire House of Commons was thrown into chaos.
Today's meeting is again closed.
