On September 20, 1750, news of Saratoga's victory spread throughout the New World. The war, which lasted for nearly two years www.biquge.info finally came to an end with the joint efforts of William and Victoria.

In the aftermath of this war, the political situation in the New World was completely rewritten.

The Thirteen State Colonies of the Britons were divided in two. The six colonial states in the South, rich in wheat and cotton plantations, were packaged and given to William.

On top of that, William included Florida and Cuba. The two colonies of Maryland and Delaware were then merged. Thus was formed a neo-Gothic colonial government with seven colonial states.

Because of the right policies, higher prestige, lighter taxes, and the plundering of wealth from the upper classes of the colonies. So today's neo-Gothic colonies are very well developed. The people's recognition and happiness index are also quite good.

However, there was still a problem that plagued the colonial government. That's a huge backlog of cotton that has no market for it.

After William took out the cotton ginner, the artifact of his previous life, and taught these guys scientific planting, cultivating excellent varieties and other techniques. It is conceivable that the cotton planting industry of neo-Gothic will usher in a period of rapid development.

In this way, the problem of cotton sales is even more prominent.

After the armistice was signed, William secretly sent people to contact the Visigoths. Ask them about their intentions for neo-gothic cotton. After all, before the start of the war, the largest purchaser of this cotton was the Visigothic cotton textile enterprises.

Disappointing, however, is the anti-Russian sentiment that hangs over the Visigoths. From nobles to ordinary commoners, they all have a grudge against William, who intervened and led to the defeat of the war in the New World. The atmosphere that shrouded the people, from the civil society to the officialdom, seriously affected the normal business behavior of both sides. This made the export of cotton to Visigothic a delusion.

There is no Visigoth, a big buyer. Cotton from the Neo-Gothic colonies could only be sold in small quantities to Briton, as well as to the Ostrogothic Empire. In addition, it is a small part of the local self-digestion.

This doesn't solve the problem at all.

Now some business officials have reported to William that if William does not find a large buyer who can replace Visigothic during the cotton harvest season next year, they will have to face a large number of bankrupt cotton plantations and the great turmoil that will arise from them.

The turmoil would evaporate William's painstaking prestige. In a more serious way, it will also lead to the collapse of the entire neo-Gothic colony. This is something that William could not accept in any way.

That's it. William must now return to the Old Continent as soon as possible, and then preside over the development of Russia's native cotton textile industry as quickly as possible.

Such was the case in the neo-Gothic colonies. And the Briton colony was much worse.

Years of war have almost crushed several colonial states in the north. Moreover, unlike the large-scale development of cotton cultivation in the south. There are basically no goods and specialties in the north. A little bit of the local machinery industry was all destroyed by the war. At the same time, although there was no complete liquidation of the upper echelons like William. But because of the widespread nature of the riots, Victoria still hung up many street lights.

In this case, it will be very difficult to restore order in the colonies. This is true whether it is reconstruction or the development of production. The whole colony is now lifeless. Those guys of Gothic blood are trying to find a way to go south. The vast majority of other people are thinking about life......

All in all, the resentment against the native Briton has not subsided, and the flame of resistance has been deeply buried, but it has not been extinguished. In the future, the Bretons may have to face another colonial rebellion.

The victors have a hard time, and the losers have an even more difficult time.

First of all, Asturias, these unlucky people paid thousands of soldiers' lives in this war, paid what little prestige and glory they had left, and tens of millions of war reparations and Florida and Cuba, two rich colonies, can be said to be a great loss of vitality.

And after seeing the rebellion of the colonies of the thirteen states against the suzerain, the people of New Asturias also had some ideas. Although these ideas were put on hold with the defeat of the Thirteen State Colonies, the future is conceivable. These guys are going to make some fuss, too.

As the power of the Kingdom of Asturias declines, it is only natural that the revolt in the new Asturian colonies will grow. And William was a little entangled in this.

As a member of the kingdoms of the Old World, William did not really want to see the complete decline of Asturias and the independence of the Asturian colony. But at the same time, his diplomatic attitude with the Kingdom of Asturias was not very good.

So even if William didn't want to, his next series of actions, as well as a series of actions by the countries of the Old World, would still weaken the national power of Asturias. This is an objective reason, and there is no way to do it with manpower. William was helpless about it.

"Perhaps, I should open my mouth to these colonies while Asturias still holds them. You can swallow as much as you can. So as not to worry about it later. This is William's biggest idea of the Asturias colony at the moment.

Finally, there is the Visigothic colony.

Although the total number is small, the Visigoths did maintain a certain number of colonies in the New World...... The most important of these colonies were the Caribbean islands. The Visigoths expected to maintain their naval superiority in these places in order to facilitate their further plots against the New World.

It's just a pity that after the defeat with the Britons for Quebec, and after the defeat of the Thirteen State Colonies with the Britons, the Visigoths could not even keep the Caribbean Islands in the end.

After the best naval foothold in the New World was annexed by the Britons, the Visigoths' ambitions for a New World finally vanished. Their last remaining colony, Louisiana, was now under threat from the Neo-Gothic colony.

The protection of Indian reservations and Appalachian Mountains is missing. There is no control over the Caribbean Sea either. Louisiana was completely exposed to the neo-Gothic forces. Especially after William retained a regiment of 411 (four steps, one horse, one cannon) in Neogothic, Louisiana's situation was even more dangerous.

In fact, the Visigoths had also communicated with Wilhelm before this.

They wanted William to sign an agreement with them to guarantee that William would not attack Louisiana. Or they hoped that William would spend a lot of money to buy up the unsafe, deep inland colony, and then use the money to fill their financial gap.

But no matter which condition, William did not agree. He can't wait for the Visigothic kingdom to collapse now, and it's good not to fill a shovel of soil for the guy who is trapped in the pit, how can it be the other way around, pull the rope to save people.

"That's it. ”

On the ship on the way back, William calculated the gains and losses of this battle in his heart, and finally couldn't help but smile.

It's not perfect, but it's won, it's really winning. If even such a situation is not considered to be a win, then there is no such word for victory in this world.

At present, it seems that the sale of cotton is indeed a big problem, but soon, as long as you develop your own textile industry, then this problem will soon become a benefit. On top of that, the geography of that bastard place in Cuba is really good. William couldn't wait to grow sugar cane, sugar cane, sugar cane, and sugar cane there.

In the world sugar market in the past life, Cuban sugar occupied a large share. And in this era when the whole world likes sweets, having a sucrose raw material base is equivalent to having a cash cow and a cornucopia. If you don't control this in your own hands, you're really sorry for the whole world.

In terms of making money alone, William's expectations for sugar cane in Cuba were even greater than those for cotton farming in the Neo-Gothic colonies. But of course, William also believes that the latter will eventually prevail over the former. In the era when "oil", a bastard chemical raw material, has not yet been invented, and "rayon", a bastard fabric, will dominate the textile industry. Earn untold amounts of money and wealth for his kingdom.

That's it.

"It's really exciting to think about...... Pity. Thinking of this, William felt a little pity.

It was a pity for him that New Asturias, which occupied the tropical soils of Central America on the edge of the equator, had countless lands suitable for farming, and was originally a fertile land comparable to the colony of the thirteen states of Briton.

What's more, it's very intuitive, very, very intuitive on this fertile soil -- it has the world's largest silver reserves at the moment. At the same time, it also has some of the best gold reserves.

In William's previous life, in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, when it comes to silver, it is necessary to speak of Mexico. The silver of the country of silver, even the closed and fatal Qing Dynasty knew it.

"Mexican Eagle Ocean" was completely synonymous with "silver dollar" in China at that time.

"Precious metals, precious metals, what a pity, it's a pity to put it in the hands of such an idiot country. William couldn't help but sigh...... saltpeter from the southern continent, brass from the southern continent, timber and spices from the southern continent, pastures from the pampas, plant resources from the Amazon rainforest...... That's all good stuff. If all these good things were under William's control, William would even be sure to build a powerful empire that would be the first in the world.

However, these resources are controlled by a dilapidated kingdom like Asturias...... Asturias, on the other hand, is still a second-rate country.

At the thought of this, William felt the urge to kill.
