In the end, the two envoys still did not have the courage, and it was an impossible task to resist William and his army of 30,000. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, if the current battlefield is in the Old Continent, then it is a different matter.

It's just that......

Eventually, the two messengers compromised. Whether it is William's confession, the reparations and ransom of 40 million imperial gold, or the cession of Florida and the Caribbean Islands.

After that, the first indemnity was paid at the same time as the first prisoners of war who were released. At the same time, William and the two envoys also signed their names on the peace treaty. It was then stamped with a seal of power.

Thus, on June 6, 1750, the War in the New World was over. The war of the Quartet Briton, Russia, Visigothic and Asturias returned to a state of peace. The payment of indemnities, the delivery of colonies, and the release of prisoners of war will be gradually completed over the next two months.

It is worth mentioning that these indemnity ransoms, ceded colonies were not exclusively owned by William and the Russian kingdom.

Of the 40 million gold indemnity, one of the two sides took half of it. As for the cessed colonies, except for Florida, which was included in William's neo-Gothic colony, the rest of the Caribbean islands, only the Cuban Islands were included in William's control, and the rest of the large and small sea islands were all controlled by Britton.

In other words, it is controlled by the Briton Company.

"Are you satisfied?" asked Victoria, who was casually and casually looking at the peace treaty in William's parlor.

"Not satisfied or anything. If I can, I do want to annex all of Florida, and even New Asturias. And not like now, annexing only one Florida and one Cuba. William shook his head, then said.

"The climate conditions in Cuba and Florida are very good. Victoria quietly continued: "If nothing else, growing food alone could feed millions, if not tens of millions. You've made a lot of money. ”

"Earned a lot of ...... Well, indeed. Even if I don't talk about this, the indemnity of 20 million gold will be enough for me to build a battleship or train two more white legions. I do make a lot of money. Wheath nodded, then continued, "But who wouldn't want to make a little more?"

“...... Truly. "Although the relationship with William is not very good, it can even be said to be bad. But Victoria, who recognized the businessman's identity more, did not hesitate and agreed with William's statement.

No one will dislike that they make more money, and they can earn more if they can.

"However, you eventually kept your promise to sign an armistice, rather than actually leading your army south to attack the vast colony of Asturias. Victoria said.

"Yes. ”

"So, why not? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard that you've drawn up a battle plan for the south of New Asturias. It was this battle plan that scared the two messengers.

So, why not really do it?"

"Because, if you do that, it's not going to end casually. William said: "'War will come to you with your desire, but it will not end with your desire. You've probably heard that, right?

Therefore, the most important point of war is not to be invincible, but to know how to stop in moderation and accept it when it is good. ”

"......" Hearing William say this, Victoria did not answer, but was silent and thoughtful.

"Then there is so," said William, "I will do my own thing, and my army is being prepared." ”

Hearing William say this, Victoria nodded, he understood William's subtext, William has to do his own thing, then at the same time, Victoria must also do what she should do.

"Have you had a lot of people joining your colonial army lately?" asked Victoria.

"Well, thanks to the end of the war with our victory. These guys are not inspired. William said, "Both the natives and the colonizers. We were able to recruit two regiments of recruits with ease. In addition to this, it is possible to organize the cavalry of the colony into a regiment. The captured artillery was also enough to arm an artillery regiment. ”

Whether it's weapons and equipment, food and grass, or anything else, all of them have been captured, so there is no need to spend anything extra. William's smile was very pleasant.

All in all, this round of adventurous action was a total win for him. With little to no extra, you get a lot of money, a lot of soldiers, a lot of supplies, and a lot of colonies.

Pleasant, very pleasant. William couldn't help but wonder if all he did in the future would be so pleasant.

But if you think about it on your toes, it's absolutely impossible.

After that, listening to William Victoria, he couldn't help frowning:

"Recruits of two regiments...... If you add the two previous infantry regiments. You have four infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment and an artillery regiment...... This kind of establishment is already a standard legion, right?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" William deliberately played dumb. He asked in a tone of incomprehension.

"Of course there is a problem. Of course, Victoria couldn't tolerate William's stupidity, and she said unceremoniously: "What do you want to do with so many troops in the New World colonies?"

"It's just a small army of less than 10,000 people. William shook his head: "Weapons and equipment are just big goods." Coupled with the gap in training, their combat effectiveness may not be too high, and ...... Our partnership is still strong, and you don't have to fear my army heading north to attack your colonies, can you?"

"That's what I said, but ......" Victoria hesitated, "Do you want to land in the New World next?"

"No, it won't. William replied solemnly: "I will return to the Old World." ”

"So, what is the reason why you are arranging this legion here?"

"Deterrence. William replied, "If my prediction is correct, then in the coming period the Old Continent will be a protracted war that is no less protracted than the Second Great Frontier War, which has just ended, or the war of the Imperial Civil War."

The scale of this war is even greater than the two wars combined. And it will involve more countries. ”

"You're going to distract the Asturians?" asked Victoria.

"Yes, I'm going to distract the Asturians. William nodded: "In any case, Asturias is also a strong country, and if they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the upcoming war, then the Visigoths will receive unnecessary help."

In this case, I will need to spend more time, energy and troops to defeat the opponent. So. William paused at this point:

"So, I'm going to reserve a legion in the New World. A colonial legion. to tug at the nerves of the Asturians. I want them to worry about the safety of their most important overseas colonies, and they have no intention of fighting. I also want to contain their forces, so that they will not have enough troops in the next war on the Old Continent. ”

"They can't recruit enough troops from the ground. They had to draw troops from their homeland to maintain the colony's strength. Victoria nodded thoughtfully: "A force that needs to obtain supplies from the mainland, and it is difficult to replenish the troops, although the number is not large, the cost will definitely not be less.

On the other hand, your forces are only recruited from locals and natives. Whether it's supplies, or weapons and equipment, most of them can be solved locally. In this way......" Thinking of this, Victoria nodded:

"I agree with your strategy, William. ”

"So, are you still bothered by the natives rebelling, or about forming an Indian empire?" asked William with a smile.

“...... No. Listening to William talk about these things, Victoria couldn't help but blush a little.

Over the course of several months, Victoria had realized that she had made a mistake in judgment before.

Today, the Cherokee society in the Neo-Gothic colonies has been completely severed by William. The old, old-fashioned Cherokees, and the Cherokees who yearn for a new life, have formed two camps that are almost incompatible.

Their tribes, families, and even families have fallen apart because of their different ideas and positions, turned against each other, and even started battles and even wars. Under William's "tolerance", the native soldiers who joined the colonial army began to move their relatives out of the tribe and into the local colonist settlements, villages and towns.

Although there are still problems with the run-in between the two. The Gothic colonizers did not end their discrimination against the natives in a day or two. But under William's compulsion, everything went in a good direction. The civil servants who graduated from the University of Krakow in Russia have the ambition to climb up the ladder and keep everything in order.

Under these circumstances, Victoria naturally made the judgment that William's plan was a success. The Cherokees not only did not get stronger because of "civilization". On the contrary, it has become weaker because of civilization. The vast majority of Cherokees were in disarray.

At the same time, if they do not have a unified national consciousness, they will not be smoothly transformed into a flowering nation. They will be digested and absorbed little by little by the neo-Gothic colony. became part of the colonial government.

After that, as William thought, the Cherokee would disappear, and the tribal Cherokee would decline, replaced by a group of naturalized natives who had no national consciousness, or "tribe as a nation".

From the colonial government's point of view, this was indeed a good thing.
