After a long time, George II, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"Tell me what you think."

Churchill nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, suppressing the expansion of the Ming Empire seems to be an extremely important thing at present. If it cannot be done, then our British expansion will not be realized at all. From this point of view, I think it is far more important than Europe, which is the key to the destiny of the country!"

"What do you want me to do?" Compared with his father, George II, was more like a qualified British king.

Churchill said: "We should unite with European countries, especially the Kingdom of France and Spain. These two countries currently occupy a large number of colonial territories in the New World. In addition, their colonies border the territory of the Ming Empire, and military conflicts have occurred before due to power and territorial reasons. So in my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity."

George II raised his eyebrows and understood Churchill's intentions.

"Lord, do you want to provoke a war in the New World?"

"Your Majesty, I am extremely impressed by your wisdom." Churchill first flattered, then nodded and said, "In the Far East, the power of the Ming Empire is too powerful. Even if we can unite the entire Europe, it is impossible to be an opponent of the Ming Empire in the Far East. But it is different in the New World. Whether it is France or the Kingdom of Spain, they have been operating in the New World for more than a hundred years, and the military power of their colonies is not weak."

"The Spanish king lost Luzon in the Far East. Although he had made concessions with the Ming Empire after negotiations, the humiliation of failure was unbearable by the Spanish Kingdom. If they were given a chance, I am sure the Spanish would take revenge."

"As for France, the same is true. For the sake of the New World, they have fought a long war with us, and the proud French cannot tolerate the further expansion of the Ming Empire in the New World. The reason why the war with the Ming Empire was truce was because we, Britain. If we release some information to the other side and tell them that Britain will not interfere in their military operations against the Ming Empire in the New World, I think the French would be very happy..."

Churchill is worthy of being a master of the Ming Dynasty. He has lived in the Ming Dynasty for so many years and is very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, his current thinking not only has the views of Westerners, but also has the judgment of the Ming people.

Churchill pointed out that the Ming Dynasty was not strong in the New World. Although it could not defeat the Ming Dynasty through a full-scale war, it could weaken the Ming Dynasty through local wars, and the New World was the best battlefield.

Compared with the local area, the Ming Dynasty on the New World lacks military power. If France and Spain start to fight without any worries, they will be able to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is victory or loss, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably suffer heavy losses in this war. At that time, Britain, which has been watching the fire from the other side of the river, will have a chance.

In addition, according to Churchill's understanding, due to the rapid expansion of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, it has aroused the vigilance of the upper classes of all European countries. On the New World, France and even the British colonial government have begun to impose certain trade restrictions on the Ming Dynasty, using this method to curb the other party's expansion speed.

But Churchill believes that this restriction does not play much role at all, and may be useful for a weak country, but it will only cause some trouble for such a powerful Ming Empire.

So what can be truly determined is military, and only direct war can achieve the goal.

When George II proposed that once the war broke out in the New World, the Ming Empire could be fully supported by its local governments.

Regarding this issue, Churchill smiled and told George II that he had considered this a long time ago.

"Russia?"

"Yes, it's Russia!" Churchill said confidently: "According to my understanding, the relationship between Russia and the Ming Dynasty in the north of the Ming Dynasty was very complicated, and the Ming Emperor had a very bad sense of Russia. That was because a few years ago, Russia and the Qing army wiped out several tribes in northern Mongolia and directly divided the northern desert area."

"In the Ming Dynasty's view, these places belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Russia's actions completely annexed the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely not allowed! However, because the Qing Dynasty has not been completely eliminated, the Ming Dynasty has not completely gained control over the Mongolian side. The Ming Dynasty does not want to go to war with Russia under such circumstances, so it acknowledged this matter."

"But your Majesty, don't forget that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a great king. Will such a king endure the greedy Russia? After he resolved the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, I can be sure that the Ming Dynasty will inevitably take violent revenge on Russia."

Speaking of this, Churchill laughed: "Actually, the Russians also know this. When I left the Ming Dynasty, I had heard that the Russians made many small moves in private. For Russia, they hope that the war between the Ming and the Qing Dynasty would continue forever. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be retaliated against."

"It's a pity that this is an unrealistic dream. With the power of the Ming Dynasty, how could it keep stalemate with the Qing Dynasty? By this year, the Qing Dynasty's regime in Liaodong had completely collapsed, and the next one was Mongolia and the northwest, so the Russians thought well, but they didn't think deeply."

"I understand, my dear Lord, my imagination and judgment have surprised me very much, and at the same time proved the correctness of my conferring you the Minister of the Colonial Department as the King of England." George II said with great satisfaction, and laughed.

"The Russians are indeed an object worthy of use. According to your point of view, as long as we provoke the French in the New World and the Russians in the Far East to attack the Ming Empire at the same time, is this our opportunity?"

"Yes, my Majesty." Churchill said confidently: "This is our opportunity. To put it bluntly, I thought there would be no real winners and losers after the war broke out, but this is also the result that we Britain hope to see the most. By then, it will be our opportunity."

George II's eyes lit up, and there was a smile that could not be hidden at the corner of his mouth. Churchill's suggestion simply reached his heart, making him feel the blood in his body boiling.

According to Churchill's plan, once successful, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Britain. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. It's not Britain that loses, but France, Spain, Russia and even some other countries in Europe.
