You can't become a fat man in one bite!

Although Made's proposal to conduct "military exchanges" was tempting for Vieira, it was not something he could decide after all, even if Vieira was the plenipotent representative appointed by Louis XIV to the East this time. Because the task assigned to him was only to open up the trade link with China, and to stimulate the French economy to recover as quickly as possible with the help of trade with China. So in the end, Vieira had to politely decline Made's suggestion and could only agree to pass the news to Louis XIV as soon as possible after returning to France.

Vieira's refusal finally made Richard and Ramton, who had always been brave, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as China and France have not reached an agreement immediately, they still have time. As long as they return to Europe, they have ways to make the French give up this absolutely unrealistic idea.

Made did not force Vieira. He had expected that his request would make Vieira difficult, so the other party's reaction was expected. Anyway, the words had been put out, and I believe that it would have a certain response in Europe soon. Nowadays, there are many European countries that can meet his requirements, and Europe has been fighting continuously over the years. Even if peace can be achieved, there will be a few more wars sooner or later. At that time, some countries will always be able to understand what "benefits" his proposals will have.

After Mad's suggestion was temporarily put on hold, Richard no longer allowed Vieira to perform there. France and Portugal's thrust into the UK has put the UK in a disadvantageous position in trade with China, so he must change this situation, and at the same time make the Chinese realize the UK's "sincerity" and strive for the scheduled two-year buffer period.

"Governor General, our country is willing to ced western Canada to your country in exchange for your country's recognition of our country's rule over the Maldives and other places and its support for occupying a small colony in India!"

When Richard said the words, Vieira was so angry that her nose was almost crooked. They had no choice but to ced the Canadian to Britain, which made the French feel very humiliated at that time. However, now Richard has to ced half of Canada to China in front of him. Although it is no longer a French colony, when he heard this, he still couldn't help but have the urge to fight with Richard.

"Western Canada?" Mad smiled, "Mr. Jazz. You are so smart about your abacus. But I don't understand, that land seems to be under the control of our country now, right? Why should you give it to our country?"

"Governor General, according to international practice, whoever discovers new land first and settles on it will belong to whom the land will belong to it. The first one to settle in Canada was the French, so that land should belong to France. In a war that just ended, our country signed the Treaty of Utrecht with France, and France has transferred all its rights and interests in Canada to our Kingdom of Great Britain. Therefore, Canada now should belong to our country! And it is natural that our country will transfer part of it to your country." Richard said.

"Hahaha... Mr. Jazz. I know the international practice you mentioned. But, as far as I know, before signing the so-called Utrecht Treaty, your country did not seem to have taken France's sovereignty over Canada seriously. Not only did it invade Newfoundland, but it also directly declared its sovereignty and trade monopoly over the areas around Hudson Bay. These... I wonder if it is true?

Since your country has not followed any international practices in the first place, how can we force our country? What's more, these so-called practices are just the habits of you Europeans, and we Orientals have never admitted them!" Mad smiled sarcastically. (Hadsun Bay, a bay in central and eastern Canada, close to the central part of Canada, and connects the Atlantic Ocean through the Hudsun Strait!)

"Yes, Sir Richard, you got the wrong object. And I have to correct you. Although our country has transferred most of the interests in Canada to your country, we still retain ownership of Quebec and Montreal. So, please don't say as you just now: France has transferred all the rights and interests in Canada to the Kingdom of Great Britain! This mistake is boring and mentally retarded for a diplomat!" Vieira immediately followed up with Mad to Richard with great rudeness.

"Thank you very much for your advice, Marquis Vieira. We will remember these words from you.

Don't worry, we will only say in the future: The French Empire ceded its "most of its interests in Canada" and gave it to the Kingdom of Great Britain! We will not make the mistakes we just now."

Ramton retorted.

"Your Excellency the Governor, your country now has a huge advantage in North America, and this is undeniable.

However, if you always argue like this, it is not a good thing for us. Colonization is for the purpose of our people to live better, not to increase mutual hostility. Therefore, I do not think there is anything wrong with ceding western Canada to your country. Of course, if you think this statement is inappropriate, we can also say that the two countries are bounded by the Big Bear Lake, Big Slave Lake, Athabasca Lake, Lundier Lake, and Lake Winnipeg, and each has two parts of Canada east and west. I wonder what you think?" Richard ignored the confrontation between Vieira and Ramton, and looked at Mad with a smile. (Originally, the lake name should be taken separately, but that would easily make people confused, so this article decided to use the current names of each lake.)

"Mr. Richard, I really admire you more and more. Indeed, you are really amazing!" Mad laughed again, and even gave Richard a thumbs up. However, his meaning was obviously not a compliment, which could be seen from the kind of good-looking expression on Vieira's face next to him.

"Thank you for your praise! I wonder if Your Governor has any objections to our country's proposal?"

Richard asked with a smile again.

"I don't know if Mr. Jazz thinks I have it or have no objection?" Didn't Made directly reply, but instead asked Richard with interest.

"This..." You are not a fool! Although Canada nominally belongs to France, France has not immigrated to the western region and has never declared its sovereignty over it. Now you have taken it, and it is yours. Now, I take your territory and say "let" you give it to you. Of course you will have an objection! But, how can you say this? Do you want me to slap myself in the mouth? Who is it? Richard secretly scolded Made for being indifferent, but could only smile and take the conversation, saying: "Governor General, this kind of thing is beneficial to your country and the people of both countries. With your character, I think there should be no objection! Right?"

"Hehe. Yes! How could I have any objection to such a good thing? Sir Richard, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of our country, I agree with your proposal. This article can be written into our agreement." Mad smiled strangely and said.

"..." Richard was stunned on the spot, Ramton was also stunned. Rogers, who had been enjoying the show next to him, immediately condensed his eyes into a little and shot straight onto Mad's face.

"Governor, are you really going to... agree with the British's proposal? You know, you have powerful power in Canada! And these powers are incomparable to the British." Vieira was also a little anxious. She even called out the "British" in front of the two British messengers Richard and Ramton.

"I am naturally very clear about our country's strength in North America.

However, we Chinese have always advocated that "peace is the most important thing." Since Britain is so sincere and promised half of the Canadian territory, we should not be aggressive anymore! I believe that even our Majesty Kangxi will not object to this!" Ma De looked sincere.

"But...but, why?" At this time, Vieira seemed to be more like a Chinese than Made. The marquis from France was obviously incredible and incredible about Made's abandonment of eastern Canada. At the same time, he was very anxious! His fierce performance made people wonder if he was white-skinned and yellow-hearted!

However, those present, whether it was Mad, Richard, Ramton, or Rogers, who had nothing to do with it, were actually understanding him.

Canada is such a vast land, how could France give up just by saying it? Louis XIV is not as backbone as the Qing monarchs of later generations, and he doesn't understand "rather than to have family slaves". Moreover, when signing the Treaty of Utrecht, France had just been defeated, but it also achieved considerable results. At least, the British did not dare to force Louis XIV into an urgent need. In this case, the reason why France promised the British to cede Canada was of course a plan. The reason for this is, on the one hand, because France has not yet gained a lot of benefits from Canada, so it would not make people feel unbearable. On the other hand, it is because the Chinese are step by step... Since China entered North America strongly a few years ago, the first thing they encountered was France. After that

Kangxi continued to support Yinzhen, and Yinzhen himself also managed to subdue a large number of Indians, giving the Qing army an overwhelming advantage in North America. At this time, France had few immigrants to Canada, and the colonial army was not strong, so they could only be in a defensive position. In this case, unless France increased its troops to Canada, they could only watch Yinzhen gradually erode Canada. However, if they wanted to transport troops to North America, they naturally had to ask whether the boss of the Atlantic Ocean agreed or not. Obviously, the British who had been competing with France for Canadian sovereignty would not agree. Therefore, Louis XIV would give up Canada and agree to ced it to Britain. One of the purposes was actually to let the British face Yinzhen in North America by themselves. The French would sit in Louisiana and watch the show.

Maybe, you can still benefit from the fisherman!

It can be said that Louis XIV had a very good plan. Even the British could easily see through his plan. Unless the British could give Canada to the Chinese as generously as he did, otherwise, they would have to fight with China. However, the plan could not keep up with the rapid change, and the facts were always different from reality. Vieira never expected that Richard's suggestion to divide Canada from the east and west was recognized by Made. In this way, the French's wishful thinking could not be made. Of course, he had to be anxious.

"I really didn't expect, Governor, please be honest. I really didn't expect you to agree with my proposal. However, I still want to express my sincere respect for your generosity and contribution to the friendship between the two countries. I know that you will definitely be under tremendous pressure for this!" Richard stared at Made for a while, and then said with a smile.

"Your praise makes me feel ashamed." Mad smiled "hehe" "Mr. Jazz."

You cannot use such noble words of praise on me. In fact, the reason why I promised you is mainly because our Emperor has an order! I am just doing it by order!"

"Is that true?...Your Majesty Kangxi is a great emperor based on this alone!" Richard said "admiration" again, but after hearing his words, Vieira's face became more ugly. Kangxi's ability to "resist" the temptation of territory was great. What should their Louis XIV ceded such a large piece of territory?

"No, no, my dear Mr. Jazz, although I am very happy that you can praise our Emperor Kangxi so much, but as a friend, I still cannot let you have such misunderstandings.

In fact, Emperor Kangxi agreed to stop expanding eastward because of the advice of our eldest prince in North America. The reason why the eldest prince in our area did this was mainly because he discovered a huge gold mine belt in southwestern North America... He had to dig gold! In order to be able to withdraw strength to occupy that land, our eldest prince naturally needed a peaceful environment."

Made's smile was "sincere". At the same time, it was also full of "malice and ridicule". For this reason.

Richard wrote this sentence in his later memoir: Although I knew that as a gentleman, I almost couldn't help but smash the guy's nose directly! And almost the same thing. In a letter sent by Vieira included later generations, there was also such a sentence that was almost the same in the country: If I weren't afraid of British people laughing, I thought, I would be very happy to use the heavy chair under my butt to have an intimate contact with the guy's hateful face, fiercely!

A huge gold mine belt was discovered in southwestern North America?

Fake?

If it is fake, why would the Chinese give up the almost accessible territory of Canada? You should know that Richard just proposed the condition for dividing things and conquering things, which is actually just a bait!

As long as Mad expressed dissatisfaction and insisted on obtaining eastern Canada, then the British government could take the opportunity to propose the interests of eastern Canada in exchange for the Chinese support for their march into India! At least, it would also recognize Britain's sovereignty over the Maldives! But who would have thought that the Chinese would actually disdain for eastern Canada?

Richard really wants to cry! Why do such good things be thrown into by Chinese people? Before the gold mines in Alaska have been mined, these guys actually discovered another gold mine belt!...

This is a gold mine belt! Who knows how many gold mines can be opened? If the Chinese are so valued, they would rather not have territory than mine... No wonder Made agreed to divide the country with Britain in east and west in Canada, because if that happens, there would be no reason for Britain to travel through Canada to take up space. Although this agreement cannot stop explorers and gold diggers, the government cannot participate. You must know that there is no formal force in the southwestern North America now. Whoever arrives first will belong to that place! Made is trying to slander him to death!

Vieira is also in the same mood as Richard! However, while Vieira was envious and wanted to cry, he also hated Made. You know, although France still has Louisiana in North America, if you want to reach the gold mine belt in Made, you have to cross the huge Rockies. Unfortunately, there are British people behind them! If they want to send people to occupy the gold mine belt, then in order to deal with the local Indians and the Qing army that arrived

They must have sent out a large number of troops, but if they did that, the British would definitely take advantage of their empty troops to bite them hard, and take advantage of the opportunity to rush through their territory to grab the land that produces gold! Moreover, he was almost certain that even if they were not interested in getting a share of the gold mine belt, the British would definitely have a strong "feeling" towards Louisiana because of the gold mine belt.

"Fortunately, we have Brazil in Portugal..." Rogers looked at Made in amazement "titled" to Britain and France, stroked his forehead, and secretly rejoiced. However, soon, he was not grateful because Made actually turned his eyes to him again!

"Mr. Rogers, our Emperor, in the order to ask me to preside over this negotiation, also issued another order, that is, let me talk to your country about the ownership of Macau! He doesn't like to have another colony on his own territorial sea. I think... you will not disappoint me with His Emperor's thoughts!" Made's smile was sunny and bright, but this smile could only make people feel chilled.

"I'm just a follower! I didn't call you!" Rogers looked at Made with a resentful look, but was not surprised. Just look at the expansion speed of the Chinese people over the years... How could such a crazy country allow a foreign colony in front of its own country? Although the land was very small, the Qing naval warships that frequently visited there had already shown the Chinese people's intentions in this regard. So, before he set off this trip, Qiu O'Fifth had already discussed with him on this matter. He knew what to do!
