310. Chapter 310: The Second Expeditionary Force

After this, Louis XVI looked at his Chancellor of the Exchequer: "There should be no problem in supplying the materials needed by the expeditionary force, right?" Although it was a question, Louis XVI's tone was unquestionable. Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info but also implicit threat. This left the Chancellor of the Exchequer feeling a tightness in his throat.

Louis XVI was not a man who cherished talent. Since even talents will not be cherished, it is natural that they will not cherish the lives of ordinary ministers.

If it was those who were famous, or who held hereditary titles of nobility, Louis XVI could barely tolerate them. But Louis XVI had no mercy on them, the commoners, the fortunate ministers of the minor aristocracy.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer knew that if he dared to say no, he would be dismissed from office or hanged for treason.

"Yes, no problems at all...... Although one or two additional special taxes may be required. But I guess, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"Well, loyal servants of the kingdom will naturally give everything for the good of the kingdom. And rightfully so. Louis XVI said confidently.

“...... Yes, Your Majesty. That's it. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer, of course, would not have told Louis XVI that at the moment the whole of Visigothic was sitting in a crater. Years of war, heavy taxes, and an inactive bureaucracy have caused the entire kingdom to complain.

Under such circumstances, the large-scale use of foreign troops is like adding a scoop of cold water to a boiling oil pot. It's hard to imagine what the outcome will be.

"All in all, it is imperative to raise the strongest army possible—this time, I will send two Fathers, and two Lesser Fathers, to join the battle!" Louis XVI expressed his satisfaction with the docility of his courtiers. He held his stomach and said proudly:

"This time, we're going to beat that damn William!"

Hearing Louis XVI say this, several of the generals opened their mouths to say something—they did not think it was a good thing to send too many Janissaries to defend the royal family. But after a little thought, they decided to shut up and say nothing.

That's it. After forcibly collecting a tax burden, the army was once again assembled. At the same time, King Philip V of Asturias reluctantly agreed to send an expeditionary force to the New World.

Slightly different from what the Visigoths thought. Philip V, who had a more cowardly personality, did not dare to refuse his cousin. Although it is not comfortable in the heart. At the same time, although Asturias itself is in a very poor financial position due to its outdated tax system. However, Philip V reluctantly withdrew a sum of money and formed an expeditionary force.

Visigothic and Asturian expeditionary forces. More than 40,000 in total. From the beginning of 1750, preparations continued until the end of February. The army finally made it.

"This is the second and probably the last time we have sent troops to the New World. Standing on the dock and listening to the insincere cheers of the people, the young Visigothic general couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

“...... Well, yes. Around him, his friends were casually perfunctory and didn't seem to be very interested in it.

"Do you think we'll be able to win this time?"

"What victory?"

"Of course, the victory over Prince William. ”

"It doesn't make sense. The young general put it this way: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Because in any case, it is the Visigoths who ultimately lose. ”

"yes, it's all Visigothic. After the king ordered the formation of a second expeditionary army, the defeat was destined to be the Visigoths. ”

"So, where will the kingdom go next?"

"Kingdom...... I don't know. But it shouldn't be worse than it is now. ”

"What will you do if the kingdom does get worse than it is now?"

"I'm going to do everything I can to change that. ”

......

Meanwhile, in the spring of 1750, Charleston welcomed a great man.

William didn't want to see it at all. But the big man who can't see it.

"You're really here, leaving your army behind, and your subordinates don't care. Let the war situation in the north erode, you are really here. ”

Stand in Charleston's docklands and watch the huge battleship with the sails of the St. George's Red Cross slowly come to a halt. William's mood became good.

However, immediately after, after the ship was anchored and Victoria slowly descended the escalator, William's mood became very bad.

"You don't want to see me. Victoria said.

"Yes, to be honest, I really don't want to see you. William replied honestly: "Your current position should be the Northern Battlefield." It was supposed to be the northern battlefield against that Mr. George. And not here. ”

"So, you don't seem to want to see me. Victoria repeated the previous question.

"......" William looked at her helplessly, not knowing what to say.

"I brought reinforcements, didn't you always want reinforcements to come like this? I think about it...... Well, yes, four letters in total. You wrote me four letters asking for reinforcements, right? Now that I've brought reinforcements, you're not satisfied?"

"I only asked for reinforcements, and I didn't invite you here. William continued.

"So, you don't seem to want to see me?"

After the other party asked this question for the third time, William had to surrender: "No, it's not like that, Victoria, Her Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Queen. I'm really happy to see you again. ”

"yes, I didn't think you wanted to see me, hehehehe. Hearing William say this, Victoria smiled again, and then laughed amorously. By her side, William could only laugh awkwardly with her.

"Think about the better. At least this woman brought an army of twenty thousand. William thought to himself. But on the surface, it still looks very unpleasant. Of course he knew what Victoria wanted to do. After Victoria came here, he knew it.

She wants to destroy everything she has brought to the New World. He wanted to stop himself from training those Cherokees, and he wanted to prevent himself from taking the territory of the southern part of the Thirteen State Colonies. They also want to prevent themselves from gaining hegemony in this world.

To make matters worse, Victoria was not his enemy, but his ally.

In some cases, "allies" can cause more damage and hindrance to people than enemies. In order to deal with the so-called allies, it will inevitably take more effort and energy. This made William feel overwhelmed.

Does he not want to see Victoria?

Of course, who would want to have a person around him who has the same status as himself, has very strong strength, is disobedient, and always drags himself back?

Not even an idiot.

And, over the next few days, William was even more upset - when he found that Victoria's movements were more excessive than he had imagined.

Yes, over the next few days, Victoria met with all sorts of officials, wealthy businessmen, and leading figures in Charleston.

She spoke to these guys in a tone and language as if she were Charleston and the owner of the "new goth."

Not only that, but she also brought plenty of bread, salt, and cloth. As a show, they were distributed to the poor in Charleston and in the neighborhood.

In addition, this guy also contacted the newspaper in a grand manner and published all her show activities in the newspaper.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

So, William finally couldn't help it. He approached Victoria and asked, "I thought we had an agreement." Charleston is mine, and the entire southern part of the Thirteen State Colonies is mine. You're not acting like you're supposed to be a guest. ”

"yes, that's what we wrote on the agreement -- but look at the agreement. ”

Faced with William's questioning, Victoria was unhurried: "Our agreement is that I will cede the colony to you only after helping me defeat this rebellion." Remember, there's a premise here, which is 'after.'" ”

"......" Hearing Victoria say this, William didn't know what to say for a while. It is clear that this guy has taken advantage of a loophole in the treaty between the two sides. But that's exactly what the treaty says. If she explained it in this way, she really didn't have anything to say.

"However, I have established a completely new administrative system in these colonial states. William said, "All these things you have done are superfluous." ”

"Is this really an extra move?" Victoria chuckled, "I don't think the people here are living particularly well. You haven't worked very hard to take care of them, Your Majesty the Neo-Gothic Emperor. ”

By the end, Victoria had changed her tone to a mocking tone.

"It's because of the war. I don't believe that the Northern Colonies, where the Britons still control, would be much better than here. ”

"It's not something you should be concerned about. "Our agreement doesn't include the seven colonial states in the north, does it?"

"Yes, but that doesn't justify you doing the way you do, you're shaking the foundation of my rule!" William felt that he could no longer go around in circles with her. So he pointed out the crux of the matter: "It's very bad, Miss Victoria." I thought we were allies, or was it the tradition of the Britons to harm their allies at all costs?"

"Of course not. The Britons never did. Victoria was ashamed to say, "I just can't bear to see those civilians starving and colding." Who made me such a loving person?"
