Chapter 1746 Impossible to back down

The Prussian frontline soldiers were in danger, and Frederick II seemed a little flustered in the face of the attacks of various countries.

The United Kingdom just sits and sees that the army is not big, and the members of the British Parliament do not want to directly participate in the frontal confrontation.

Even if King George of the United Kingdom has ambitions to intervene in the European continent, he does not want to directly face the coalition forces of France, Austria, and Tsarist Russia.

King George of England hopes to fight with them, but the British Parliament will not agree with King George of England's dangerous idea.

They tried their best to dissuade King George of England, and blocked his budget to prevent him from arbitrarily advocating to mobilize all troops to enter the great war on the European continent.

The next best thing is that they promised King George of England that they would support the war between Prussia and other countries, but they would never allow King George to transfer the local army to enter the war privately and face the coalition forces of other countries.

In the previous war of succession to the Austrian throne, King George of the United Kingdom started the war without authorization. Although he won a victory in the end, in the eyes of the British Parliament, this victory was almost meaningless.

The British mainland did not gain anything from it, but lost more.

Therefore, in this battle, the nobles of the British Parliament will naturally not support the German-speaking British king to insert his hand into the European war again without authorization, which is not in their British interests.

King George of the United Kingdom was naturally ambitious after he obtained the British throne. He hoped that he could have a larger territory, not just limited to the three islands of England.

As the elector of the Holy Roman Empire, he is qualified to compete for the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but in the eyes of the British local parliament, the position of the elector of the Holy Roman Empire is very tasteless, and the Anglo-Saxons are even more favored. excluded.

Even if their King George II has this qualification, for them, this qualification is just a qualification.

"These bloody fools!" King George of England slammed everything on the table to the ground.

"Why don't they be loyal to their king, what I say, they object to it, isn't the lesson from the past not enough?"

"My arrival has brought unprecedented strength to Britain, why can't they support me?" King George was furious in his court, and no one dared to stop him.

The price of stopping a king is too great, even if it is just a word, it may bring the king's ill will.

It is estimated that only those parliamentarians would confront King George II face to face.

Those servants of the kingdom would not do such a stupid thing.

It's not just a question of whether it's worth it, but whether it's stupid or not.

King George II of England, the second king of the House of Hanover, is under attack on his hereditary domain of Hanover.

George II looked at his attendants and said, "What did Prime Minister Robert say about supporting Prussia?"

The attendant bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is not optimistic about this war, and there is no way to convince the members of the parliament that they want to invest their energy overseas."

George II let out a sigh of relief, "I really hate this group of idiots. I sincerely hope that the devil will take all these idiots away, as well as this group of damned ministers, and that damned parliament."

"If I can escape this small island, I will go to my hometown Hannover immediately."

The attendant lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, not daring to refute.

Recently, George II's mood is getting worse and worse, and he often drinks to relieve his sorrows and gets drunk.

The British people have put the joke of George I on George II.

It is clear that King George II of England is not well liked by his people.

At least in the eyes of the British Parliament, this king is a war madness, which is not good.

The war on the European continent has something to do with the Anglo-Saxons, and why did they form a coalition with Prussia to fight the French.

And the parliament considers those contradictions within themselves to be far more important than those abroad.

The grandson of the former tyrant James II gathered a rebellious party and invaded Edinburgh, England. At that time, the capital London was about to fall.

Only the king was very calm, and he did not follow the advice of the former ministers and chose to escape. Instead, he dispatched troops to defend the capital London, and he finally quelled the rebellion.

However, instead of supporting the king and even maintaining his rule because of the increasing victories of the king in foreign and civil wars, the parliament turned against him even more.

Members of Parliament had long since grown impatient as years of war drained the British treasury.

If you want to maintain the rule of the kingdom, you must increase the tax burden, but increasing the tax burden must be voted by the parliament, which means that the power of the parliament will increase.

George II felt that Parliament was very in the way, and he disliked this republican feature very much.

He should be a strong and dictatorial monarch, not tied to everything by Parliament.

Britain must participate in this war.

The Seven Years' War was a war developed by the Three Skirts Alliance.

His opponents were joined by Sweden and Spain, led by France, Austria and Russia.

The war would drag on for a long time, and he could not tolerate Parliament dictating his right to war as king.

No matter how powerful the parliament is, this is something he, as a king, does not want to see.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Frederick II." The attendant did not choose to continue the topic because of King George's rage, but changed the topic.

George II took the letter and glanced at it, "I didn't expect the Iron Kingdom to suffer a blow, and the support from the Iron Kingdom has also been reduced. The situation is really unfavorable. That damned Salazar, I doubt that Spain let him out."

King George of the United Kingdom sighed. He was also very helpless about ghost ships appearing on the sea. Even if he was a king, he could not avoid such moths appearing on the sea.

And recently, his colonies on the east coast of America have also been turned upside down by this guy named Salazar.

It's not that they don't want to hunt down Salazar and completely wipe out this guy named Salazar, but the fact is that they can't do it.

A ghost ship, and it is an unsinkable ghost ship, what can he do as a king?

Even muskets and cannons can't subdue the ghost ship, how can he, the king, solve it?

George II breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, thought for a while, and said: "Write a letter to Frederick II, saying that Britain will fully support him in fighting against other countries, and Britain will also support him in fighting against other countries." I won’t leave him behind, I hope he persists.”

The attendant pursed his lips. The current situation is very unfavorable for Britain and Prussia, at least in terms of war situation.

Britain's alliance with Prussia was too thin and the other too strong.

This confrontation between European powers was not only due to the contradictions between Prussia and Austria and other countries, but also because of the competition between Britain, France, and Spain in trading colonies.

This war was dominated by siege warfare in Europe, and the losses caused were extremely serious.

Coupled with the help of the Iron Kingdom behind the scenes, everything became very ugly.

Fortunately, the Iron Kingdom did not take a real stand, otherwise Britain would suffer unimaginable blows in its overseas colonies.

The Caribbean Sea was not far, if not very close, to the British colonies on the east coast of North America.

Using Cuba as a springboard, the Iron Kingdom could even go straight to the coast of North America, and the fleet of the Iron Kingdom in Denmark could even attack the British mainland. At that time, Britain would be at war everywhere.

And Spain undoubtedly played an important role in this war, even if they just feinted, it would be disgusting.

Although the purpose of each country in this battle is different, they are all to compete for colonies and European hegemony.

France has long coveted Hanover, the hereditary territory of King George II, and taking Hanover would undoubtedly cut off a piece of King George II's heart.

How could King George II allow his hereditary territory to be annexed by France?

Therefore, no matter how much the parliament opposes this war, George II, as the king of England, will never back down.
