Chapter 396, can it really be fought for decades
"Sanity?"
George III grimaced.
He envisioned a confrontation between East and West, and the countries that united and led Europe would be the British Empire – but now it seems that the island nation of the British Empire is really going to be marginalized.
If there is a continent on the European continent that rules the Great Plains of France and the two peninsulas of Apennines and Iberia, the number of people who rule will reach as much as 50 or 60 million.
At the same time, it also has a large number of colonies in South America, North Africa, and the Middle East, and has the largest industrial and grain-producing areas in Europe.
And
Or the main axis of the whole world may soon enter an era of confrontation between East and West.
Then this country is undoubtedly the leader of Europe!
But now the British Empire has anything to do about it?
Yes.
France's navy was not as good as the British Empire.
Lacking the ability to interfere militarily, Britain's-stirring energy has also dropped a lot.
The number of immigrants that the United States can absorb from Europe.
In addition, the United States was originally a British colony, and British technology and capital originally poured into the thirteen-state colonies, which gave the United States a considerable industrial base after independence.
United States.
"You can't just leave it at that!"
Williambert Jr. grimaced.
"Why do they want Canada? Mexico and the United States are the places that the Chinese like, the plains here are so vast, the water is abundant, and the cultivated land that can be developed is comparable to the arable land of the whole of China, and these arable land will make the Chinese crazy! ”
"Why don't the Chinese plot against Canada?"
And
Their land is so vast.
"Not in Europe. Then start with the Americas! If he dares to plot the crown of Spain, we will instigate the independence of New Spain in the Americas from Spain! I think the Spanish royal family will have a lot of supporters, right? ”
The area of the plains they could reclaim was much larger than China's, which meant that the United States could accommodate a huge population – far inferior to Britain in this respect.
"If China and France were to fight an extremely fierce war in the Americas, thousands of miles away, what a huge opportunity it would be for us!"
"Damn, this insatiable fellow, Spain, Italy, what more do you want from him? All of Europe? We've got to make him suffer! ”
In this case, learn from the methods of the Austrian Empire, establish a new legal system, and be crowned Emperor of the French. It can not only deter opponents, but also boost your own morale and cater to your own rising prestige, so why not?
"Italy forget it, what if he continues to plot for the Spanish crown?"
Why?
They don't have the big powers around them, their expansion is actually easy, they don't need to maintain a large army, they can put more resources into the navy.
William Jr. Potter shook his head.
That is to say.
They still have the spirit of a hegemon,
"The United States? They are too weak. ”
George III stood up.
"What if they do succeed?"
"Actually, we don't have a lot of options." Williambert Jr. spread his hands and said helplessly, "First of all, we are facing pressure from the Chinese, which will make many European countries try to seek refuge from the French, and even the Russians will fall to them, in fact they have already done so!" ”
The difficulty of crossing the Pacific Ocean is simply not the same as the difficulty of crossing the Atlantic.
George III frowned.
But the British army did not dare to send it into the European continent easily now.
"How is this possible, my majesty. Whether it is China or France, they are de facto continental countries, their interests on land are intertwined, and they must maintain a large army to safeguard their interests in the old continent, so. In the New World, will they really be able to unleash the power to completely drive another opponent out of the entire continent? I don't think so! And the United States is an ally of France! ”
The name is not right, the word is not good.
The population of the United States is going to grow quite fast.
Napoleon's process of gaining supreme power in France was a revolution against the Kingdom of France.
As the chief consul of the French Republic, Napoleon could not restore the legal system of the Kingdom of France – and the French royal family and the large number of royalist forces in France were still waiting for the opportunity to restore the Kingdom of France.
"Yes, we can make the dictator fall by threatening the independence of New Spain. But I don't recommend it! "William Jr. Potter said.
This also means:
"So we can watch the big war between the Chinese and the US-French alliance in the Americas?"
And, despite the fact that China is migrating to the west coast of the North American continent in large numbers.
In the future, it's a plus, and a super-plus, UK!
"Why?"
Become the king of France.
"Nope! They'll be getting stronger soon! Williambert Jr. corrected.
The British Empire is this world after all. Or rather, the hegemon of the Atlantic world from the coast of Europe to the east coast of North America.
"Theoretically, it is!"
For Napoleon.
"America? What if the Chinese really monopolized the Americas? ”
"So being crowned King of Italy is just a foreshadowing to becoming Emperor of France."
But.
"Your Majesty, the power of this dictator comes from opposition to the royal power of the Kingdom of France, and in this case, it is impossible for him to be crowned king of France."
"Because we want to make the interests of France completely hostile to the interests of the Ming Empire, if Spain is protected by France, then the interests of the Spaniards in the Americas, the French must also take into account, maybe. Only in the Americas can the Chinese and the French be completely hostile! This is beneficial for our grand balancing strategy for the whole of Eurasia! ”
Europe is very particular about "legal system",
The legal system of the King of France is inherited from the Kingdom of the Franks - the Kingdom of West Francia - the Kingdom of France, which is a system of its own.
"This means that all the energy of the Chinese should be focused on immigration to the Americas, which will greatly consume the energy of the Chinese, and if the battlefield of the confrontation between the East and the West is in the Americas, we must ensure that the French have enough interests to drive in the Americas, so that they will invest in the Americas!"
"It's just a name!"
"So our solution is to let the French come out against the Chinese," George III frowned, "doesn't that mean that France has become the leader of Europe?" ”
Because they, too, like Britain, are theoretically an "island nation" far removed from the intricacies of the Old Continent's land interests.
In fact, it is not at all slower than the Chinese immigration to the west coast of the Americas!
Even, it will be soon!
In the future, they will inevitably become a regional power in the Americas!
"The Great War between China and the United States and France in the Americas."
George III pondered for a moment.
"This time, will it really last decades?"
