"Do all feudal monarchs have the same virtue?"

The first meeting with Charles I was not smooth, and when looking back, Xu Erjue couldn't help complaining.

Officials of the empire must read the biographies and materials of the previous emperors thoroughly, as a lesson for the past.Therefore, everyone is familiar with the virtues of the Zhu family's emperor.

Especially Emperor Chongzhen, everyone can even say that they have experienced it first-hand, and they can't understand it the most.

Unexpectedly, in Europe, thousands of miles away, King Charles I of England was even worse than Chongzhen in terms of self-willedness, pretentiousness, stubbornness and corruption.

"Hehe, as Your Majesty said, the ass determines the head. As a feudal king, Charles I naturally has attributes. It seems that this person can't be counted on."

Liao Zhongjian already had a clear idea.

"What should we do then? Will it affect our operations?"

Kong Zhiguang was a little worried.

Before coming to Europe, the center and the missions negotiated and coordinated repeatedly, and finally decided on a strategy of supporting the backward king and eliminating the advanced parliament, thus interrupting the development of Britain.

As a result, the qualities shown by Charles I do not meet the expectations of the empire at all.

The most important thing is that this person cannot bring benefits to the empire at all, so naturally there is no need for support.

Liao Zhongjian was very indifferent.

"Don't worry, we have a flexible diplomatic strategy. It's really not possible, the worst is to turn around and negotiate peace with the parliament. Isn't there no mature politician in such a big Britain?"

The subtext is that whoever is willing to betray the interests of the United Kingdom, they can choose whoever is their friend.

Although allowing Parliament to control the British regime is not conducive to the balance of the European continent.But if the parliament can pay enough benefits, there are some things that cannot be discussed.

At the same time, the Dutch side is also discussing.

"King Charles is stubborn and hostile to us. If this continues, our goal will not be accomplished."

De Ruyter was worried.

Marton Tropp also frowned.

"It's still too early to draw conclusions. It's better to make a decision after discussing with my Chinese friends."

In this regard, Druitt also thinks it is the best way.

Although the Netherlands is right next to it, with the support of the entire country, but the current team is dominated by the empire.

After all, it was the empire that planned the entire strategy, and it was also the empire that played a leading role in the naval battle just now.

Even though the number of warships in the imperial fleet is smaller, the combat effectiveness displayed is really breathtaking.

Both Marton Tropp and De Ruyter have made up their minds.After returning, he urged William II to step up efforts to purchase such warships from the empire.

It is best to be able to introduce manufacturing technology.

After all, the Netherlands has an excellent and complete shipbuilding system. As long as it can figure out how the third-tier battleship is manufactured, it can produce it by itself.

Marton Tropp was sure.

As long as the number of third-tier battleships owned by the Netherlands reaches fifty, the Netherlands will become the real number one maritime power in Europe.

Of course, he didn't think about competing with the empire at sea in the future.

Over the years, China and the Netherlands have cooperated well, and they share common interests, and their spheres of influence have long been clearly defined, and there is no conflict.

"Sell part of the interests and unite more people to support us, so that we can defeat the parliament and regain national power. Father, our time is running out."

In the royal castle, Prince Charlie is also persuading his father earnestly.

Unlike Charles I, Prince Charles wandered around Europe after his military defeat and suffered hardships.Although it was extremely hard work, it also honed his will and made his thinking more rational.

In his view, the arrival of China and the Netherlands is a great opportunity for the royal family to turn defeat into victory.

In the face of this opportunity, there is nothing to sell some benefits.

After all, once it fails, people will die, and the existing persistence will be meaningless.

Even if the demands of China and the Netherlands will greatly weaken the strength of Britain, it is better to be the king of a weak country than to be a dead man!

"Don't talk anymore! I am the king appointed by heaven, and I have the supreme legal power. There is no difference between the Chinese, the Dutch, and the rebels in the parliament. Don't think of being above me, the king."

Charles I roared like thunder, and his cold eyes were obviously dissatisfied with Prince Charles.

Prince Charlie was impatient and wanted to persuade him, but Ruprecht stood up quickly.

"His Royal Highness, the prince is tired from a long journey, and he is tired of thinking for a while, and there is something lacking. I believe that after a while, he will understand your painstaking efforts."

The Duke of Cumberland was a close confidant of Charles I's confidants and the most valiant commander of the royal army.

His words finally calmed Charles I temporarily and lowered the intense atmosphere.

Then without saying a word, he took Prince Charlie to leave.

"Mr. Duke, don't you understand that the royal family is in extreme crisis? If this continues, we will all go to the guillotine."

Ruprecht pulled Prince Charlie to an unoccupied corner and kept his voice down as much as possible.

"His Royal Highness, if the king can listen to such opinions, will we fall to this point?"

Prince Charlie stopped in astonishment, but saw endless sadness in Ruprecht's eyes.

Did the supreme commander of the royal army also despair of Charles I?
"Maybe our time is running out, and the Scots will definitely take action. Your Royal Highness, perhaps the important task of revitalizing the royal family will fall on your head."

The imperial mission welcomes visitors.

"Guests from afar, do you want to firmly support His Royal Highness?"

Simmons Deville, one of the elders of the Scottish Pledge Sect, looked at everyone in the empire with piercing eyes and vigilance.

The arrival of China and the Netherlands brought new changes to the treacherous situation and made the Scots extremely nervous.

This is a game-changing force that the Scots cannot afford to be careless.

Seeing the appearance of the Scots, Liao Zhongjian thought of a possibility.

"We originally thought that His Royal Highness the King could be a good partner, but now it seems that everything is not as good as expected. I don't know if there will be any real friends here?"

The Scots couldn't sit still immediately, and quickly gathered together to mutter, obviously discussing this new change.

After a long time, it was still Deville who represented the Scottish Covenant Presbyterian Church.

"His Royal Highness is in a predicament today because of problems with his beliefs. We have been working hard to reverse his wrong ideas, but unfortunately, the king has fallen too deep. This is a disaster for the king and his people. Can your guests help us?"
