Chapter 220: Trouble to the League of Nations
Daming, as the main spectator of the event, belongs to a relatively stable state of watching the play.
And the parties don't have this good mood.
News from New York and the United States, Adams's demands came one after another, and the British royal family and the government and opposition were stunned.
I started to have high-intensity meetings every day, but I couldn't come up with any useful ideas.
King George III, who had been awake for two months, fell ill again, and the condition was unprecedentedly severe.
The favorite youngest daughter was kidnapped by the rebels with her only granddaughter, and even if she was in good health, she might be devastated, and how could George III, who was already mentally ill, withstand this kind of stimulation.
The Prince of Wales, as regent, was once again the de facto sole king, but he was not at all happy.
Her only legitimate daughter and heir became a hostage of the American rebels.
The point is that the Prince of Wales is also clueless about the current situation and does not know what to do.
There is nothing left to guide you on what you should do.
In the past two months, the time when my father was awake was the most comfortable two months for the Prince of Wales.
Acting as regent himself, managing day-to-day affairs, and holding de facto power in Britain.
Daddy is not good physically and mentally, and basically does not take the initiative to interfere in his own affairs.
If you encounter any problem that is difficult to choose, you can ask your dad and let him make a decision.
After all, he is his own father, and his interests are completely consistent with his own, and he can really be trusted and honored.
Now that this life is over, it may never come back.
The Prince of Wales has never prayed for his father's health to get better soon.
Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. should be trustworthy, but he has no control over Parliament.
When Dad was sober, the relatively stable and harmonious parliament once again became a place like a vegetable market.
Another day of daily meetings, in front of the Prince of Wales, a new round of quarrels began among the parliamentarians.
There are Eagle Congressmen who once again demand that the Native Navy and Army send troops as soon as possible to punish the rebels in the United States.
But the Prince of Wales and a large number of MPs feared for the safety of the royal family, so they could not accept it.
However, at the suggestion of William Pitt, the parliament had decided to begin remobilizing and preparing for the United States.
There are radical congressmen, which demand open and honest negotiations with the United States to allow its independence.
This was opposed by the majority of parliamentarians, and independence was allowed in the future, so how can the United Kingdom be united?
There are also conservative lawmakers who suggest inviting other countries to mediate, compromise interests and maintain the status quo.
The most conservative plan is the one that has the most approval, but it still does not get the approval of the majority of parliamentarians.
The radicals believed that the interests of the homeland and the American North could not be reconciled, and that the negotiations would be fruitless.
The hawks believe that they cannot negotiate with the rebels until the war is at a disadvantage.
There are many more who are complaining that the capital of the Kingdom of America should not have been in New York.
It should have been set up in Richmond or Wilmington or Charleston in the safer south from the start. ….
The Prince of Wales watched them argue for several days, and finally shouted a few times in anger:
"Before you argue about what to do with America, find a way to get my daughter, sister, and brother back!"
The scene was a little quiet, and Prime Minister Pitt spoke again:
"Your Highness, in order to rescue the three Highnesses, we must make a gesture to start negotiations with the rebels.
"And sent personnel to North Yin Zhou to contact the rebels, stating that the release of the three highnesses is a prerequisite for formal negotiations.
"We ask a third country, or the League of Nations, to come forward and gain the trust of the rebels."
The Prince of Wales felt that Pitt's plan was okay.
But immediately someone stood up and questioned
:
"There is absolutely no way that the rebels will release the three Highnesses without the promise of independence.
"So what Your Excellency the Prime Minister means is that we are going to commit ourselves to allowing American independence in the presence of the League of Nations?
"And then let them be truly independent, or will they tear up their promises again and damage the political credibility of the United Kingdom?"
Pete was already prepared, and at this time he directly explained his plan:
"I mean, they can be allowed to be partially independent.
"As far as we know, after the founding of the Kingdom of America, the independence tendencies in much of the region had subsided.
"The only places where the independence tendencies are still very strong are a few states north of Virginia.
"The purpose of their independence is to raise tariffs and protect local factories and enterprises.
"The origin of the raw materials that our local factories rely on happens to exclude these states.
"So my suggestion is to separate these states from the Kingdom of America and establish a Grand Duchy of New York, with Princess Amelia as Grand Duke of New York.
"The Grand Duchy of New York remains a protectorate of the United Kingdom, but enjoys a greater degree of autonomy than the Kingdom of America.
"Allow them to decide their own import and export tariffs, and allow them to protect their industries.
"As a condition for the release of the three Highnesses, they should be able to accept it."
Monroe is in Yinzhou, and now there is no one in the British Parliament to represent the interests of the United States.
The other delegates considered it and found that Pitt's proposal had pushed compromises and compromises to the limit.
Pitt planned the extent of the Grand Duchy of New York, roughly 200,000 square kilometers of land between Maryland and Massachusetts, almost one-sixth of the entire United States.
The only loss for the United Kingdom of the United Kingdom of allowing the Grand Duchy of New York to tariff autonomy is that local manufacturers can no longer dump goods at will.
Representatives representing the interests of local British manufacturers would certainly not want to accept such a loss, if they could.
But there is no better option now.
The point is that this compromise and compromise is to save the three royal family members,
Of course, there are those who oppose the royal family among the parliamentarians, but no one has dared to speak out against the royal family for the time being.
No one dared to openly shout that they didn't want those three royals.
Then they will definitely be targeted and targeted by the Prince of Wales, and they will not have to mix in the United Kingdom politics in the future. ….
So the deputies looked at the Prince of Wales a few times, hesitated for a few seconds, and did not express any objections.
Pete felt that the time was ripe, and also turned his face to look at the Prince of Wales above:
"Your Highness, I think this is the only feasible option at the moment, and I can't hesitate any longer.
"We should save Princess Charlotte as soon as possible."
The Prince of Wales was visibly stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally made up his mind when he thought of his only lawful daughter:
"Okay, that's it, please ask Prime Minister Pitt to arrange it immediately!"
Today's meeting finally made some progress, and the meeting was adjourned as soon as the relevant decisions were documented on the spot.
The Prince of Wales went to see his neurotic father and prayed that he would get well soon.
Pitt went to a cabinet meeting to arrange for his cousin, British Foreign Secretary Grenville, to liaise and negotiate with John Adams.
As a result, the cabinet meeting had just begun, and everyone had just begun to discuss the details of the negotiations, and a piece of latest news from Bei Yinzhou was urgently sent to the cabinet conference room and placed in front of Pete:
Napoleon Bonaparte referred to the Chinese tradition and proclaimed himself king in New York, calling himself King Napoleon I of Canada.
Napoleon was ready to marry Queen Charlotte of America as queen and establish the Canada-United Kingdom of America.
John Adams no longer asked for Amelia to be made Queen of America.
As soon as Britain recognized the complete independence of the United States, they immediately let it go
Also Princess Amelia and Prince Frederick.
Pete looked at these short messages, only to feel a dull pain in his entire skull, and the whole person was completely stunned.
In the world wars of the past decade or so, the most talented Tessie general has emerged, Napoleon Bonaparte.
What was once the strongest pillar of protection of interests has now become the main culprit that threatens the British and French colonies.
Pitt and his cabinet had already guessed that Adams would not have had the courage to carry out a coup d'état if it were not for the support of the armed forces of Napoleon-controlled France.
The power of the American North is too different from that of the South.
It was only in union with French Canada that Adams had the hope and courage to make such a big fuss.
Immediately after the Adams coup, Napoleon's departure to New York is evidence of this.
Now this news proves this again.
Grenville took the telegram from his cousin's hand, and the other members of the cabinet came up to take a few looks, and immediately there were exclamations and complaints in the conference room:
"How dare you proclaim yourself king! This madman! This is Tessie, not Daming!"
"Sure enough, this Napoleon Bonaparte is the real mastermind behind the turmoil in Yinzhou!"
"How dare he dare to marry Queen Charlotte!"
"Maybe it's because Amelia is weak and sickly, and it's impossible to have children."
"Maybe it's because Charlotte is already a queen, so she doesn't need to help Princess Amelia toss the throne."
"We must get the three royals back immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable."
Pete pondered the current situation in his heart, habitually pinched his temple and said: ....
"We are finally completely sure that Adams and Napoleon have made complete peace, and the situation in Yinzhou will be completely out of control.
"But now it's not our own business, we have to pull the French together.
"Inform the French at once and discuss what to do with this Napoleon Bonaparte!"
After speaking, Pete paused for half a second, and seemed to suddenly think of something:
"In addition, we officially inform the Ming and the League of Nations that we and France are both members of the Alliance, and that the Ming is the leader of the Alliance.
"Now that the rebellion of the two countries is involved, the leader of the alliance cannot stay out of the matter.
"Otherwise, what qualifications does he have to continue to be the leader of this alliance?"
Grenville was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously asked:
"Is it useful to inform Daming? Does it make sense to make a fuss about the League of Nations? Daming probably supported Napoleon, right?
"If I were the Ming Emperor, I would definitely support Napoleon in disrupting our Yinzhou colony."
Pete shook his head and immediately said:
"It is because of this possibility that we have to go through the official procedures and officially notify the Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations.
"If the Ming Dynasty and the League of Nations are left alone, then there will be no need for this League of Nations to exist!
"If I were Prince Daishi, who was the one who promoted the formation of the League of Nations, I would certainly not be able to let it go.
"At least nominally support us, not directly on the surface.
"As long as he supports us nominally, he can save a whole bunch of troubles."
