When the news of the loss of 80,000 Australian troops came, the entire parliament exploded.
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
William IV looked angry.
The other young and old people in the council also looked at each other.
Lost?
Not only was he defeated, but he was defeated so badly?
Eighty thousand!
That's an army of 80,000! A few days ago, William IV was still immersed in the glory and pride of the empire's conquests and establishment of colonies. This sudden defeat immediately made him sober.
"Dragon Flame Army?"
A strong murderous intent flashed across William IV's handsome face.
The parliament has already started to quarrel.
"Look, what am I saying...is it impossible? Australia just can't go!"
"This... 80,000-strong army..."
"His Majesty......"
"If this is a loss..."
A group of congressmen represented by country squires were going crazy. Just because of an order from William IV, these country squires almost all used their own wealth to invest in Australia... At this time, they
The prisoners and slaves you bought with money are still on the way, but you tell them that Australia is lost?
Lost?
Britain is now a constitutional monarchy. How can the interests of these squires be lost like this?
Their anger was naturally directed at William IV and the old nobles.
Who will pay for this money?
Nowadays, the British colonial system has actually been commercialized. They fight wars and spend all the money collected by these country squires. They are businessmen, and they are looking for economic benefits.
Failure will make them angry.
Duke Humphrey's face was also very gloomy at this time. This bullshit constitutional monarchy really allowed these country bumpkins to take over. Think about what the king wanted to do and what the Vatican wanted to do. Was it the turn of these hillbillies to speak?
"I never expected that our army would be so useless!"
"That Loggins must go to court-martial!"
"Whose person is that?"
What these people said next almost made Humphrey angry.
In fact, Duke Humphrey felt numb when he heard the news. Such a powerful British navy was defeated. Not only was it defeated, but it was defeated in an instant... This was a natural disaster for Britain.
Big shame, huge shame.
You must know that Britain is definitely the strongest country in the world, especially in terms of economic development. Even the economic development of Britain's colonies makes the whole world salivate. Speaking of this, we have to go back to the Seventh Century
Regarding the historical event of the Seven Years' War, it was during the Seven Years' War that Britain took North America from France.
Take the Americas as an example. In 1607, the British arrived on the Atlantic coast of North America and began to establish the first colony, Virginia. At that time, the economic development of the British North American colonies could be described as taking off.
Nowadays, the industrial and commercial development of the British North American colonies in the north can almost catch up with the British mainland, especially the shipbuilding industry of the British North American colonies. Almost all the large warships in Britain are now manufactured in North America.
In addition, the central region produces food, and North America produces crops and many products, which can even compete with Britain in the international market.
Otherwise, what do you think Britain gained during the Seven Years' War? Of course it was the treasure land of North America!
now.
Britain continued to expand its colonial pace, and most of its military expenditures came from the economic benefits and taxes generated in North America.
