As soon as the British's proposal came out, the entire conference room instantly became silent.

The silence of this meeting room, which seats thousands of people, allows everyone to hear their heartbeat.

The good news is that there is no need for Prime Minister Raul to fight for his own interests, because the French and British representatives are already quarrelling.

The proposal of the British was in any case unacceptable to the French, and even a considerable part of the neutral countries were unwilling to accept it.

Not only did the British acquire a full 13-state colony, but they even gave Canada access to Michigan, located in the industrial region of the Great Lakes.

This is not the end of the story, according to the proposal of the British, except for Britain, France, and Australia, which have received a large number of American states, other countries will not even be able to drink soup, and can only obtain the privileges of the future American coalition government.

What does this mean? The three countries of Britain, France and Australia each ate the meat, and then dipped it in some soup with a toothpick, and only allowed each small country to lick one bite.

Such a domineering act is naturally unwilling for other neutral countries. Of course, the French were naturally unwilling.

In fact, there was not much of a problem with the area that the French had acquired in the British proposal, and it was basically the same as what had been discussed before.

But the problem is that the French can't accept that Britain has gained so much territory, especially since the British have gained the best parts of the United States.

Among the 13-state colonies, New York has a population of more than 10 million, and there are large states like Pennsylvania with a population of more than 9 million.

Even if some of the population is lost to the economic crisis, the combined population of the 13 eastern states is at least 37 million, more than twice the population of Australasia and France combined.

With the exception of California and Texas, which have populations of more than 5 million, most of the other areas available to Australasia and France are barren areas with populations of hundreds of thousands to more than 1 million.

The population of New York alone is greater than that of these two states combined, which means that the British can benefit far more than Australasia and France combined.

Who can accept this?

If the British were allowed to acquire so much land, the British Empire would become a veritable world hegemon, and the French would have no chance of resistance in Europe.

Even if Russia is freed from the attrition of the civil war and unites with France in the future, I am afraid that it may not be able to confront Britain.

Even if Australasia is neutral, it will not change the fact that Britain is invincible in the world. For the French, it was impossible to prevent such a situation from happening anyway, and naturally it was impossible to allow the British to annex the 13-state colonies alone.

After an emotional rebuttal to the British delegates, the French delegate also put forward his own proposal:

The areas gained by France and Australasia remained the same, but there were two options for the areas obtained by the British.

For one, the British gained New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

Second, the British gained Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

These two options would provide a better balance of land available to Britain, France and Australia than the British.

The first option is the first option, which is limited to the state of New York and the upstate region of New York, with a total population of only about 16 million.

The second option, while encompassing all of the 13 states south of Washington, D.C., generally has populations of more than 1 million to 2 million, adding up to only about 12 million.

France's two plans for the land acquired by the British also represented the view of the French, that is, they would not accept this opportunity for the British to secure their hegemony.

The resolute opposition of the French made Prime Minister Raul breathe a sigh of relief.

Australasia, of course, did not want to see the British so big, so strong that people could not resist at all.

But the problem is that the current relationship between Australasia and the UK is too complicated for Prime Minister Raul to stand up and contradict the British directly.

The outbreak of conflict between Britain and France over the division of American territory was something that Prime Minister Raul was happy to see, and it was only by sitting on the hill and watching the tiger fight that it was in line with the view of a country that wanted to develop steadily.

Anyway, as long as Britain and France can protect the interests of Australasia, Prime Minister Raul can accept this quarrel no matter how it develops.

In any case, one of the two sides will definitely have to compromise, and it depends on the French to stand firm against the British.

If the French admit it, then Prime Minister Raul will certainly admit it. After all, Britain and Australasia were too far apart to compete with the British for a conflict that did not exist at the moment.

Because of the harshness of British conditions, many neutral countries joined the side of France, that is, they opposed the British acquiring too much land.

The British were clearly prepared for such a situation, and the British delegates looked to the side of Australasia and looked forward to Australasia's support.

It is clear that Prime Minister Raul will not explicitly oppose the British, but he will definitely not stand up for the British.

Just kidding, at present, the British are angry about the partition plan, is Prime Minister Raul going to offend the whole world for the sake of the British?

This is obviously impossible.

However, the face of the British still had to be taken into account, and Prime Minister Raul stood up as a peacemaker, demanding that Britain and France each take a step back and propose a plan acceptable to all countries.

The first day of the peace talks ended with a stalemate between Britain and France.

In fact, this is the case with every peace talks, and the countries participating in the peace talks are ready to fight for at least a month.

In fact, the main problem in the peace talks is still with Britain and France. As long as the three most powerful countries, Britain, France and Australia, can reach a compromise, it also means that peace talks can really move forward.

Prime Minister Raul had thought that the British would hold out a little longer before they could find themselves for help.

But unexpectedly, just on the first night, British Prime Minister Baldwin came to the door.

Welcoming Prime Minister Baldwin into the house, Prime Minister Raul ordered his servant to bring two cups of coffee, and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, quietly waiting for Prime Minister Baldwin to speak.

"Prime Minister Raul, we need your support." In the end, Prime Minister Baldwin couldn't hold on and took the lead in making his own request.

"Your Excellency Baldwin, are you talking about today's peace talks?" That's when Prime Minister Raul spoke.

"Of course. As we all know, the predecessor of the United States was 13 states, and 13 states were once colonies of the British Empire.

It seems to me that the British Empire's recovery of the 13-state colonies is a matter of course, and that all countries should respect such a legal principle.

But our proposal was harshly rejected by the French, which is simply terrible. Your Excellency Raul, we should work closely together to ensure that we both get enough out of this peace talks. Prime Minister Baldwin first stated the jurisprudence of the British Empire for the original 13-state colonies, and then made his own demand.

"Prime Minister Baldwin, have you forgotten that the middle of the United States was once a French colony? If that were to be said, the United States should have been divided between Mexico, France, and the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Raul was unmoved, and incidentally refuted the jurisprudence put forward by the British.

Legally, what does American land have to do with Australasia?

Even if you go back to the roots, Australasia was once only a British colony, should it rejoin the British?

"Of course not." Prime Minister Baldwin looked embarrassed, not expecting that what he had always considered a close ally would directly contradict his views.

"But I think the British Empire should have more, and we delayed the vast majority of the Americans' forces in the northeast, and that's the real reason for the victory in this war." Prime Minister Baldwin explained.

Prime Minister Raul smiled slightly, disagreeing with what Prime Minister Baldwin said.

The combined number of troops dispatched by the British was only 150,000, and it was obviously impossible to hold back the main force of the United States, which was as high as 300,000.

It was not only the British who really held back the main force of the United States, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers from other countries in the combined army.

Besides, even if the Australasian army faced the main force of the Americans, Minister Raul did not feel that the Americans would be able to hold back the Australasian offensive.

As a hawk who rose from Minister of Defence to Prime Minister like Minister Kent, Prime Minister Raul has a good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Australasian army.

"Sir Baldwin, I don't think your country will back down if you have the support of Australasia.

If you are not willing to fight another war with France, then I think you should take the French into account.

Of course, the final solution must be in the interests of all countries, and of course we support your country in gaining more benefits, but our finances will not be able to support a new war at all. "Prime Minister Raul's point is simple, that it is okay to pay lip service to the British, but it is impossible to actually support it without benefit.

The importance of the 13 states is too important, and Australasia does not want to see the British regain control of the 13 states without much practical benefit.

"Well, I will convey your country's opinion to His Majesty the King, thank you for your support." Prime Minister Baldwin said goodbye with an unkind face, and even did not forget to threaten Prime Minister Raul.

Prime Minister Raul's face remained unchanged and nodded very indifferently.

Although George V and Arthur were equally kings, there were differences between kings and kings.

Besides, Prime Minister Raul is the Prime Minister of Australasia and is not afraid to offend the King of England at all.

Prime Minister Raul understands his responsibilities. For the sake of the national interest, anyone can be offended.

This kind of thing is not convenient for Arthur to do, and Prime Minister Raul, who does not have much to do with the British royal family, is very suitable.

At present, Australasia can be regarded as growing, and it should also consider its own interests, rather than obeying the British.
