Now their British captains have recognized their French colony and even signed the document.
Britain does not want to recognize it, but the diplomats who signed this treaty are a bit special.
Captain George does more than just hold the position of captain.
He was also Britain's diplomat in America.
When their British diplomats signed such a document, wasn't it a disguised statement that Britain had recognized the map of the French colonial area?
George III looked at the Prime Minister and frowned slightly: "Prime Minister, is there anything you can do?"
The Prime Minister thought for a moment and then replied: "America is rich in materials and cannot let France gain so much land."
"We must fight, but we have to change our name."
George III's eyes lit up and he looked at the Prime Minister: "What a name."
The Prime Minister looked at George III and said with sincerity: "First of all, please forgive me for my crime."
King George III waved his hand and said directly: "If you have anything to do, Prime Minister, just ask."
The Prime Minister nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice.
"We made the American colonies independent."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Some ministers jumped to their feet and shouted: "Traitor!"
"What's the difference between what you're doing and George's? They're both traitors!"
...
George III frowned and looked at the Prime Minister. He didn't understand why he would say such a thing.
Britain has very important resources in America, especially the cultivation of cotton.
There is no suitable weather for cotton cultivation in Britain, which is not conducive to cotton production.
But America is very suitable.
If Britain needs one million tons of cotton a year, about 800,000 tons will need to be imported from America.
And not only that, America is also rich in mineral resources, especially coal mines, which are the blood of steam engines.
Coal mines in the UK can be said to be pitifully rare.
To a large extent, it relies on transportation from its overseas colonies.
But mining coal is extremely difficult.
There are very few mines that can maintain stable coal output.
There happened to be several in the Americas. If Britain's colonial areas in the Americas were allowed to become independent, Britain would definitely suffer heavy losses.
George III expressed his incomprehension about the prime minister's talk of turning America against him.
The prime minister did not show much emotion when facing accusations.
When he said it, he had some anticipation of what the subsequent development would be like.
The Prime Minister looked at George III with neither humility nor arrogance, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have become independent in the American colonial area."
"However, we still control the entire American colonies, and France can issue such a document."
"Why can't we come up with something similar."
"We divided the American colonies into thirteen administrative regions."
"Claim that America belongs to these thirteen administrative regions."
"As for our position in Britain, it is naturally the suzerainty of this colonial country."
George III's face suddenly became startled, and then he was stunned.
He looked at the Prime Minister and smiled: "Prime Minister, you are really a genius."
Other ministers also agreed that the Prime Minister's move was too clever.
