George IV was very angry. France had gone too far. He had already lost face by asking him to announce unconditional surrender before. Now he has opened his mouth again and asked Britain to compensate them with 30 billion francs. That's 30 billion? Is it true that the UK is really regarded as a gold mine that can be mined at any time or that the bank is not successful. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. All those valuable antiques in the Manchester Palace have now become objects for George IV to vent his anger. After a long time, the storm finally passed, and the ground was also a piece of debris. George IV looked at Williams and Edward with red eyes: "What do you think we should do? Should we agree to France's unreasonable demands or refuse." Now, George IV couldn't help regretting that if he had If you don't fall out with Liverpool and others, and evacuate to Scotland with them, maybe you won't suffer such a shame. However, it is useless for him to regret it now, and he has no chance to make a new choice at all.

"Your Majesty, the demands of the French are too great. We simply ignore them." Edward said loudly, as if he didn't take the mighty France seriously.

"Duke of Kent (Edward), most of our country is now under the control of France. If we don't agree to France's conditions, we will probably be annexed by France. How do you think we should solve this problem?" George IV looked at Edward and said.

"Fight. Call all the people to fight the French. One day we will drive the French out of England." Edward shouted.

"Then let me ask you, do we have an army now? Do we have weapons? Without an army or weapons, what can we use to fight the French?" George IV said in a deep voice. Edward's performance disappointed him a little. How could this arrogant and ignorant guy be sent to negotiate with the French.

Edward was speechless, he really thought things too simply.

"Williams, what do you think we should do?" George IV looked at his confidant.

Williams is also in a bit of a dilemma. He knows that the only way now is to agree to the French side's request, but this time the amount is too large, George IV will definitely not be willing to part with it, but there is no other way The way, so I had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, if we want to preserve Britain, we have no other choice but to agree to France's request."

George IV sighed, and then said: "I also know that there is no other way now, but I am really not reconciled! The wealth accumulated by my ancestors for many years is now going to be handed over to others."

Edward was also silent on the side, but there was also raging anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, we have completely failed in this war, but if we agree to France's request and preserve Britain, we will still have a chance to come back. If we refuse, then it will be difficult for our country to have a day of ZTE. The current international situation is also very delicate. After France completely defeats our country, the crisis on the western front can be resolved, so they will definitely turn their attention to the east. There are also irreconcilable contradictions between Austria and Russia, and there will be a big war. What we have to do is to end the war as soon as possible, and then quickly restore our strength. When the future war comes, we will have a showdown with France. What we lose now, we will get back twice as much in the future." Williams said firmly.

"Hey! That's the only way to go now. Williams, leave everything to you. No matter what conditions the French offer, as long as they don't damage the foundation of Britain, I promise them to end the war as soon as possible. Then Start to actively prepare for the future war, and whether our country can be revived depends on the next war." George IV finally let go, he listened to Williams' advice, and began to put his expectations in the future. As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is impossible for a country to prosper forever. Didn’t the former Napoleonic Empire also dominate Europe? Wasn't it disintegrated in the end? Now, George IV is full of confidence and believes that the UK will be able to achieve ZTE.

Williams was very happy to hear that George IV said that he would take care of everything by himself, because it meant that he would monopolize the power of Britain in the future. "Your Majesty, how should we pay such a huge amount of war compensation? The treasury is completely empty now. Reconstruction after the war also requires a lot of money. I really don't know what to do. But if it cannot be paid immediately to the Let’s not talk about whether the French will agree to it, even if they agree, they will require us to pay a lot of interest, which will definitely increase our burden.” Williams said quickly, the meaning is obvious, that is, the government has no money , This compensation can only be settled by the royal family.

George IV immediately understood what Williams meant, frowned, and said nothing.

But Edward on the side became angry: "Your Excellency Williams, how can you say that? Declaring war on France was a decision made by the government, and the defeat was also caused by the government. The government should bear all the responsibility, just our royal family. What's up?"

"War with France is a decision made by the Liverpool cabinet. Although I am also a member of the cabinet, it is beyond my control. According to the Duke, this responsibility should be borne by Liverpool. But the French side will think so Is it? Liverpool and the others have now been expelled to the far north, and it will be a matter of time before they are wiped out by the French army. If Your Excellency the Duke can capture Liverpool to take responsibility for this war, I have no objection." Wei Wei Williams said coldly, he didn't pay attention to this brave duke at all.

"You!" Edward also heard that Williams was mocking him, so he couldn't help it.

"Okay, it's such a time now, why are you two still arguing? Williams, you can rest assured that the compensation this time will be borne by the royal family. Although the amount is relatively huge, the accumulation of the royal family for hundreds of years can still be paid for." We can handle it." George IV said proudly, as if he didn't take the 30 billion francs seriously. But in fact, his heart was bleeding. The British royal family has accumulated a lot for hundreds of years, but at most it is about 40 to 50 billion francs. Now it is necessary to spend 30 billion francs, which really makes George IV very sad.

"In this case, I can rest assured, Your Majesty. If possible, I will try my best to ask France to reduce the compensation." Williams said.

George IV nodded, but did not speak. He was thinking about how much compensation he should extort from France after defeating France in the future. 50 billion? It seems a little less. 80 billion? As if that wasn't enough. 100 billion? Roughly the same. Thinking of this, George IV felt much better.

On September 11, negotiations between Britain and France, which had been suspended for six days, resumed in London. And during this time, many things happened. The two biggest ones are that the Irish resistance organization has finally swept the entire island of Ireland, and the British rule in Ireland has been completely overthrown. Now, the Irish organization is busy establishing a completely independent country, completely separated from the United Kingdom. Another thing is that the French army led by Davout finally encircled and annihilated the British army of Liverpool and others in northern Scotland. However, it is a pity that before the British army was wiped out, Liverpool, William IV, Wellington and others He led about two elite regiments, abandoned the British army, boarded a ship from the northern city of Ullapool in Scotland, and headed for the North American continent. Due to a mistake in prediction, the French side never thought that Liverpool and others would abandon Britain, making it too late for the French navy to intercept. But this is also good, France will have an excuse to get involved in North America. In the future, after the disputes in Europe are resolved, the peak of French soldiers will surely point directly at the North American continent.

After the negotiations resumed, in order not to affect the progress of the negotiations, Edward was prohibited from participating in the negotiations. During the negotiation, Williams should be normal, and the request made by France was completely meaningless~lightnovelpub.net~ This surprised Grigio and Ottove very much. Ottove even wondered, was it a little too little when he proposed to ask Britain to pay 30 billion francs? According to the current situation, even the 40 billion British will probably agree. Thinking of this, Otov couldn't help but sigh.

Afterwards, the representatives of the two countries held a series of talks, among which the most important point was the negotiations on the military aspect. France strongly demanded that Britain's standing army be withdrawn and that only the police force be retained. The security of Britain will be taken care of by the French garrison in Britain. In this regard, Williams gave a complete rejection, no matter how threatened Gregor was, he would not let go. There was no other way, Gregor had no choice but to lower his requirements. After intense debate between the two sides, an agreement was finally reached. That is, after the war, the British Army must be limited to less than 10 infantry divisions, the navy is not allowed to have large warships (warships under 4,000 tons), and France will station an infantry division and an independent cavalry brigade in London. The army of the Artillery Independent Brigade, with a total strength of 25,000 men, shall not have any British troops within 50 kilometers of London. Regarding this, Williams and others strongly opposed it. It is such a shame that there is actually a foreign army stationed in the capital of their own country. However, Gregor is no longer giving in, and claims that if the British side does not agree, then the negotiations have to be declared to have broken down. As a last resort, Williams and others had to agree to the unreasonable request of the French side again.

On September 15, the "British-French Treaty of London" was signed in London, and the war between Britain and France finally came to an end.
