The French Prime Minister, Cardinal Mazarin, looked at the cooperation partners proposed by his confidants.
These English nobles were not suitable. They did not have the appeal of King Charles in England.
France supported these nobles and could not compete with the commander-in-chief Oliver Cromwell introduced by the English Parliament.
France was unable to work directly with Oliver Cromwell.
This was a representative figure of English Protestantism, and he was extremely hostile to Catholic France.
Although France is an alternative to Catholicism, as a Catholic, it has been implementing an anti-Habsburg strategy to help the Protestant German countries fight against the Holy Roman Empire, which is also Catholic.
France did this in order to become the European hegemon.
Bishop Mazarin was still seeking the Holy Roman Emperor for Louis XIV, which was inseparable from the support of many Catholic countries.
France simply could not gain the trust of Oliver Cromwell because of issues such as faith.
Their only choice is to choose among the many royal nobles.
The best candidate was actually King Charles I of England.
But after Charles I's tragic defeat, he was on the run, and there is still no trace of Charles I.
Mazarin considered all the candidates, but none of them were qualified. He finally set his sights on Henrietta Marie, wife of Charles I.
Henrietta Maria, the sister of the former King Louis XIII of France, is the aunt of the current King Louis XIV of France.
As a member of the Bourbon family, Henrietta Marie is such a suitable choice for cooperation.
As long as she and Charles I's child help her become the King of England.
There is an important link between France and England.
European countries marry each other, which does not affect each other's attacks at all.
France and Spain were at war many times, and Mazarin was also preparing to let Louis XIV marry the Spanish royal princess.
The intermarriage between the German Federation and the German families had no impact at all on the chaotic war between the two forces.
Under normal circumstances, England and France would not have such a close relationship due to their different interests.
But now is an extraordinary period, and Han Chinese forces have arrived in Europe.
Their powerful navy will definitely make island countries like England nervous.
The British colonies in America are not stable now.
There is another Han Chinese force that is fighting for colonies in America and England, with casualties on both sides.
The situation in the colonies, if it had been in peacetime, would have aroused England's alarm.
But now that England is in civil strife, even knowledgeable people see the risks to the colonies.
They were also incapable of preserving the colony in the midst of chaos.
But the British nobles already knew the risks of Han influence intervening in Europe.
The French prime minister, Bishop Mazarin, looked at everyone and made his choice known.
Everyone was stunned for a moment at first, and then they immediately applauded.
"What the bishop did is really admirable.
Which force in England is close to our country, Princess Henrietta Marie, sister of His Majesty Louis XIII, must be on the list."
"After Oliver Cromwell defeated the royalists, he took control of the situation in England.
He was proud of defeating Charles I and would certainly not let Charles I continue to be king.
Now we crown Princess Henrietta Marie's child as King of England.
This child is the first in line to the throne of England, and the resistance to his ascension will definitely be the lowest.
Even in the English parliamentary army, they only opposed Charles I, not the King of England.
For example, Thomas Fairfax, an important general of the English Parliamentary faction, publicly supported the king's existence many times."
"The attitude shown by Oliver Cromwell is frightening. Many people in the English Parliament just want a constitutional monarchy.
Oliver Cromwell wanted to establish a republic and abolish the existence of the monarch.
Once Oliver Cromwell's idea is implemented, it will definitely cause a huge shock in Europe.
Even if it affects us in France, we must not let him succeed."
"The bishop has a sharp vision and guides us on the confusing road.
Let the child of Princess Henrietta Marie become the King of England. This is a condition acceptable to all forces in England, and it is also a condition acceptable to us in France.
Once all parties agree to this condition, the situation in England can quickly improve.
The British navy on standby in the port will also go out of the port and become an important part of the fight against the Han forces."
When the French nobles heard about the method Mazarin came up with, they also believed that this method could indeed solve the current problem.
Prime Minister Mazaran saw that everyone supported this approach, and he immediately issued an order: "The Marquis of Tyrindall will initiate the war in England and convey our idea of mediating the civil war in England."
…………………………
London, England, in the small room of the Parliament, the French Marquis Tyrion Doyle is accepting questions from various forces in England.
As the commander-in-chief of the New Model Army, Oliver Cromwell had taken control of most of the English army after defeating the Royalists.
In this troubled world, only the generals who lead the army can control all the power.
Oliver Cromwell also had extraordinary means, and he had basically controlled the situation in Parliament.
As a commander-in-chief, Oliver Cromwell would never be checked by Parliament.
If he finds out, he will also want to restrict himself and will dissolve the parliament without hesitation.
Of course, this was when he held the highest power in England, and he is now climbing up the ladder.
Oliver Cromwell saw the behavior of the MPs beside him because they were afraid of France, which made him very dissatisfied.
He took the initiative to stand up and asked: "This is our internal affairs of England, why does France want to get involved in things that we should encourage internally?"
I remember that Louis XIV had not yet been crowned Holy Roman Emperor.
Even if Louis XIV is crowned Holy Roman Emperor, he will not be able to govern us in England."
Oliver Cromwell sneered that he had never thought that France would interfere with English affairs.
Or when he had already won a great victory and only the finishing touches were left, he suddenly intervened.
The Marquis of Tyrindall smiled and said: "Commander Oliver Cromwell misunderstood, we France are only here to mediate the English Civil War.
Everyone is very aware of the current situation in Europe.
If internal consumption continues, there will be no place for countries like us in Europe.
You all know the situation in the British North American colonies very clearly.
The colonies can be lost, but you, England, still want to lose the British Isles.
King Louis XIV of France has decided that for the future of Europe, we in France will do our best to mediate the civil strife in England."
When Oliver Cromwell heard the French envoy say this, he knew that France was paying homage first and then fighting.
France's strength has been demonstrated in the Thirty Years' War in Europe.
The performance of the New Model Army under his command during the civil strife was unsatisfactory.
In the early stage, they were defeated many times by the royalist army. If Charles I had not randomly intervened in the command of the army, there would have been no rules for the battle.
Oliver Cromwell had no chance to train his troops at all, and finally trained an elite army to completely defeat the royalist army.
But compared with France's elite soldiers who have been trained through decades of combat, this elite is still slightly inferior.
Before the civil strife, what they feared most was the intervention of other forces.
Now that this happens, they must take the correct response.
Oliver Cromwell saw the emerging aristocracy beside him.
The main forces in the parliament now are all nobles who are invested in emerging things.
They are nobles, but more like businessmen.
As long as the price is given, these people can sell anything.
The backbone of the emerging aristocrats is indeed not as strong as that of the old aristocrats.
When Oliver Cromwell saw this situation, he was really afraid that after he raised objections, these nobles would sell him out privately.
These nobles can definitely do this kind of thing.
After Oliver Cromwell thought for a moment, he asked: "What are your French mediation opinions?"
He needs to first understand what France wants to achieve, and then he can bargain.
Marquis Tyrindall said solemnly: "We hope that England will end the war as soon as possible and that European countries will unite to jointly deal with the crisis of Han forces invading Europe."
Oliver Cromwell could hear the firm attitude of France from the Marquis of Tyrindall.
If they do not agree to mediation, France will really choose to directly send troops to mediate regardless of checks and balances from all parties.
As a soldier, Oliver Cromwell was already the toughest man here.
He took off his white gloves, threw them on the table, and said angrily: "After Charles I was defeated, he now doesn't know where he's going.
Maybe they want to unite with the local forces in Scotland and continue fighting with us.
If France wants to mediate the civil war, it must show sincerity.
If you can convince Charles I to accept a constitutional monarchy and all rights in England belong to Parliament, then the peace talks can continue."
The root cause of the civil war in England was the conflict between Parliament and the King.
Parliament wanted to control the power of England, support the development of Britain's emerging nobility, and increase investment in the colonies.
King Charles I opposed Parliament's takeover of power.
The conflict between the king and parliament gradually increased, eventually leading to the outbreak of civil war.
If Charles I could accept a constitutional monarchy.
A long-cherished wish came true.
There is no need for them to completely drive away the royal party without losing blood.
Tyrindall continued to maintain a fake smile on his face.
What he said was like a thunderbolt that struck everyone in the council.
"We can't find Charles I either, but Charles I is unimportant.
After this war in England, your grudges with Charles I deepened.
You can really rest assured that he will return to England and become king.
I have a better idea here, which would allow Charles I's child to become King of England.
As for whether England implements a constitutional monarchy, that is your country's system and I will no longer interfere."
When Oliver Cromwell heard this advice, he accepted it easily.
If Charles I becomes king again, Oliver Cromwell will definitely obstruct him in every possible way.
As the person who had the deepest hatred against Charles I, he really did not dare to let Charles I come back.
But a child, a child without power, is totally fine.
Even if it is the child of Charles I, a virtual king with no rights, it will not affect them.
By accepting France's mediation plan, they basically achieved the benefits they wanted to obtain before the war.
"France has this kind of request, and we can accept it."
"If France does not interfere with our implementation of a constitutional monarchy, we will accept mediation."
"As long as a constitutional monarchy can be established, I don't have a big opinion on who should be the king."
Oliver Cromwell heard the people around him, and they all spoke in favor of this plan.
These people saw that the mediation plan had basically no impact on them, and there was pressure from France, a powerful European country.
After weighing the pros and cons, they all agreed to France's suggestion.
When Oliver Cromwell saw this situation, he could only agree to this mediation plan.
…………………………
Oliver Cromwell looked at the new king accepting the courtesy of his ministers.
The teenage king will be the first king in England to accept a constitutional monarchy.
The King of England officially became a virtual king, the first virtual king in European history, without any rights.
The King of England ascended the throne, which represented France's success in mediating the civil strife in England.
Charles I was indeed hiding in England. He wanted to use local forces in England to make a comeback, but he failed to reach a consensus with the local forces.
After the two forces of England and England reached an armistice, Charles I was directly expelled from the country by England and was never allowed to enter the country.
Oliver Cromwell also got his wish and became the most powerful Prime Minister in England.
England officially entered the era of constitutional monarchy.
This peculiar system has made many people in the world realize that kings and emperors are not important at all.
The idea of constitutional monarchy also began to spread to the European continent.
The merchant ships that came and went also carried this news to all parts of the world.
Mazarin, the French Prime Minister, felt incredible when he heard about the constitutional monarchy implemented in England.
The constitutional monarchy of England was completely contrary to Mazarin's views.
The British Parliament implements a constitutional monarchy and believes that the monarch is of no use at all. Being a mascot is the greatest help to the country.
Mazarin was completely different. Together with his teacher Richelieu, he established France's centralized system.
He has been strengthening the power of Louis XIV, because only power can lead France further.
Mazarin did not want to consider England's constitutional monarchy.
His most important thing now is to unite European countries to deal with the threat posed by the invasion of Europe by Han forces.
During this time, Mazarin had established good contacts with various European countries.
Especially Spain, which suffered losses at the hands of the Great China Empire.
Even if the relationship between the two countries is not good, they can still unite for the common enemy.
Now coupled with the British Navy, Europe's sizable naval powers have all reached a consensus.
They are ready to unite and drive the Han forces completely out of Europe.
Mazaran knew that what he could do this far was already his limit.
Next, it depends on whether each country’s navy is stronger or the navy of the Han people is stronger.
If they cannot drive the Han forces out of Europe as soon as possible, then European countries will be in danger.
Let alone organize armies and go to various parts of the world to seize colonies.
It will be very difficult for them to even protect their homeland. (End of Chapter)
