The river breeze from the Thames blew, and Vic's gaze was deep.

He said to Murphy: "I agree with your idea, besides, should we also consider improving relations with France, this Eastern Empire is difficult for us to deal with on our own." “

"The fundamental reason why Europe has been fighting each other for hundreds of years is that Europeans have the conceit that Europe is the center of the world, that European civilization is at the top of the world, and that we have no rivals outside of Europe. Murphy sighed: "I hope that our envoys to the Great Chongqing Kingdom can make progress this time, otherwise we will continue to be in trouble around the world." ”

Nick nodded solemnly.

While the two were talking, the Cao family father and son had already taken a carriage to their residence by the Thames.

Cao Zhengtong looked a little worried on the carriage, and he asked: "Father, do you say that the British will improve the status of the people of Dayu in the UK?" ”

Cao Kun was resting with his eyes closed, and he said slowly: "Vidomia has no choice, if the British are still so arrogant, they will lose even more. “

"Hopefully, so that we can no longer be ridiculed by those British people in Britain." Cao Zhengtong gritted his teeth and said.

Although they had been in England for a long time, life here was not at all pleasant, and the white supremacists here often troubled them for no reason, and if it had not been for the soldiers sent by Parliament to protect them, they would have been reduced to slavery.

Because of this, they took the opportunity to propose to improve the status of the people of Chongqing, so that they had the same rights as the British in law.

"The next step is to ask the parliament for a piece of land to create a settlement for our Dayu people, so that we can gather the Dayu people and reorganize our parliament." Cao Kun said that his failure in the south has made him unwilling.

And through this period of understanding, they found that there were still some slaves from the Great Chongqing Kingdom in Britain, and these slaves were sold by the British in Asia.

If he freed these people from slavery, these people of Dayu would definitely be grateful to him and join him.

Cao Zhengtong nodded slowly, this was an opportunity for them, even if they couldn't return to Dayu, they would be able to live a good life in the UK.

Because the British need them.

……

Paris, France.

It was going through the same turmoil as the British, who soon received news of the disastrous defeat of the Combined Fleet after the return of the two remaining British warships to London.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the fledgling French Republic.

After receiving this news, many nobles in Paris gathered in the official office of the consul and protector of the country.

He was the first person in French military politics.

"We shouldn't have agreed to form a joint fleet with the British in the first place, and now only their fleet has returned, and no one knows whether our fleet will be annihilated by the British or the Great Yu Kingdom." Duke Adrian said in a loud voice, he has always had a bad opinion of the British.

The island nation outside the European continent has always been reluctant to see the power of France.

"That's right, it's most likely a conspiracy of the British."

"An investigation into the matter should be ordered immediately."

“……”

The nobles shouted.

Andrei leaned back in his chair and rubbed his brow in pain, this time the formation of the combined fleet was personally approved by him, and now the crushing defeat made him lose face.

It would be a shame for anyone that France, the number one power on the European continent, turned out to have suffered a crushing defeat in the East.

"Silence, silence!" Andrei knocked on the table.

He looked up at the many nobles who had participated in the overthrow of the French feudal dynasty, which was now made up of the ruling class of the French Republic.

"There is no need for the British to deceive us on this point, it will not do them any good in Asia, the current strength of the Great Chongqing State is now obvious to all, the technology obtained from the Great Chongqing State has proved this, and now the failure of the Combined Fleet just shows this problem, if we continue to fight with the British, we will lose more overseas colonies, after all, we have firmly established an agreement with the British to divide Asia, but we have not with the Great Chongqing State, and the Great Chongqing State is so close to our Indochina is particularly unfortunate." As the leader of the overthrow of the French Empire, André had enough command and courage.

He was also undaunted by the suspicions of the aristocracy, which gave him the nickname of a dictator.

"If it weren't for the trap of the British, we'd be facing a much worse situation, and now we have to find a way to keep Indochina." A nobleman said in horror.

Andrei's brow furrowed even tighter, which was exactly what he feared, compared to the British, their colonies were too close to the Great Chongqing.

The appearance of the combined fleet has put them and the Great Chongqing State in a state of war now, and the Great Chongqing State can take any action.

And once he lost Indochina, his reputation would inevitably be damaged, which was very detrimental to his position.

"We must first send a mission to the Great Chongqing State to reconcile." André said to the crowd: "At least we have not studied the technology of the Great Yu Kingdom to avoid war, now we need time, once the steam engine is popularized in France, we will also have the ability to make sophisticated weapons, and that is the time to defeat the Great Chongqing Kingdom." ”

The nobles nodded their heads when they heard this, and they all met the technical talent from the Great Yu Kingdom, and with his help in the past two years, France's industry had made remarkable progress.

The French scientific community was shaken by the introduction of various scientific theories, and now scientists in Paris are turning these theories into reality day and night.

"It's the smartest thing to do right now." Duke Adrian said: "A temporary concession will give us time to win. “

Andrei nodded, and he continued: "But we also have to think of the worst-case scenario, if the Great Yu State refuses to negotiate peace, we will inevitably fight with them in Indochina, so while sending the mission, we must actively train the natives of Indochina to help us fight, and at the same time send new muskets to the front line to stop the expansion of the Great Yu State." Andrei said.

He believes that countries that now have colonies in Asia will be worried, and Britain should respond similarly to them.

After all, when it comes to practical interests overseas, Britain has much more than they do.

Seeing that there was no objection, Andrei said to the diplomat standing on the right: "From now on, you will choose an envoy and set off in a week." ”
