The replacement of the governor of New France gave Britain a great opportunity, especially Spain had just fought a war with the Ming Empire in the New World. After Spain was defeated, not only did its military strength be damaged, but it also lost a lot of territory.

The most important thing is that Manzanillo fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The change of hands of this important port city caused Spain to completely lose its seaport in North America in the direction of the Pacific. As for South America, Spain has lost Chilean territory due to the Netherlands. It was able to maintain the Pacific route between China and the United States with the existence of Manzanillo, but now it is impossible.

The Ming Dynasty asked Spain to ced Manzanillo, and George Churchill was not surprised by this. If he was the governor of the Ming Dynasty in Xinming, he would do the same.

The Governor of the New Ming Dynasty was Wang Dong, the former Marshal of the Ming Empire, the Minister of Military Affairs, George Churchill, who was not unfamiliar with him. He had met Wang Dong many times during the Ming Dynasty, and had contact and talks with Wang Dong.

In George Churchill's eyes, Wang Dong is not only an outstanding naval commander, but also a qualified politician.

As a politician like Wang Dong, how could he not see the importance of Manzanillo? Since Manzanillo is in hand, the Ming Dynasty will never give up this place and control Manzanillo. Not only did he cut off the Spanish Pacific route, but he could also use Manzanillo as a stronghold to directly threaten the heart of the New Spanish colonial government.

Now, the New Spanish colonial government is not only severely damaged, but is also directly suppressed by the Ming Empire and breathless. It can be seen that the rule of Spain, the first country that occupied the New World, on the American continent, has inevitably entered a period of complete decline.

If there is no accident, the final outcome of waiting for Spain is that its colonial territory is constantly being eaten up and thus losing the American continent.

Of course, this is all a story. At least this will be a long time. After all, Spain is still in power as a European power, and Spain still has certain strength. The lean camel is bigger than a horse. In addition, the Spanish royal family has already belonged to the Bourbon dynasty. As long as France still maintains its European hegemony, Spain's colonial rule in the Americas will not collapse so quickly.

Now, Britain is going to go to war in the Americas and France, and Spain is not enough to cause trouble. Britain is more confident.

The change in this situation is consistent with George Churchill's strategy, and it is also the result he is happy to see. Unfortunately, he originally planned to let the Ming Empire and Spain and France fight hard, and it would be better to be both defeated. But who would have thought that Louis, the Governor of New France at that time, decisively held peace talks with the Ming Empire, directly violated the orders from Paris, which caused only Spain to suffer serious losses.

This result is a bit unsatisfactory, but Louis lost his position as the governor because of his violation of orders.

Now that Britain is going to fight the New World war, George Churchill is a little worried about whether the Ming Empire will intervene in this war.

George Churchill, the powerful Ming Dynasty, knew very well that if the Ming Dynasty intervened in this war, even if the British could defeat France in the New World, then the one who gained the benefits in the end would probably not be Britain, but instead became the Ming Empire. Just like a proverb from the Ming people: The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind him, George Churchill did not want Britain to become the unlucky mantis, and he did not want to spend his time instead to make a wedding dress for the Ming Dynasty.

Previously, at Hampton Palace, when discussing with George II and Prime Minister Robert Walpole, Robert Walpole's view on the New World was too simple and optimistic. George Churchill was a little worried that it was because his too optimistic might eventually lead to variables in the New World war.

However, at that time, George Churchill did not remind him because he knew that Robert Walpole was a tough person. His reminder might not be able to listen to him. Maybe he would even laugh at George Churchill for being too cautious and timid.

Besides, although George Churchill is now a colonial minister, you should know that the colonial minister was set up after George II ascended the throne. Although this position has entered the British cabinet and George Churchill also used it to become a member of the cabinet, in fact, his position as a colonial minister in the cabinet is a bit embarrassing. In theory, since he is a colonial minister, all the affairs of the colonial affairs should be George Churchill, but in fact, this is not the case. He is not able to really intervene in most of the colonial affairs. To put it bluntly, he is a little unworthy of his name, and there is also the reason why Prime Minister Robert Walpole is.

The position of the Colonial Minister was just a springboard for George Churchill. His ultimate goal was far from being as simple as a cabinet member. To be the prime minister in his heart was his goal.

Therefore, the current Prime Minister Robert Waopol is actually his opponent. If you want to ascend to the throne of Prime Minister and replace him, you must wait for an opportunity. Prime Minister Robert Waopol's overconfidence is not a bad thing for George Churchill. Once his layout in the New World has problems and thus damages British interests, it is his own opportunity.

Sitting in the study, George Churchill was tasting the wine, thinking about these issues quickly in his mind, while also considering some alternatives.

After a long time, he stood up thoughtfully, walked to the desk, picked up paper and pen and wrote a letter, and then called the butler, asking the butler to send the letter to the Far East as quickly as possible.

In the following days, the British cabinet began to operate rapidly, and the war preparations for the New World were carried out in an orderly manner under the promotion of Prime Minister Robert Walpole.

Logically speaking, George Churchill, as the colonial governor, should be the Prime Minister's deputy in this matter to assist in the preparation of the war. George II also explained this matter, but in actual circumstances, Robert Walpole did not let George Churchill intervene too much, and directly formed a temporary war department through the colonial governor, the Navy, the Army and other cabinet members with the consent of George II.

The War Department, as the name suggests, later generations belonged to one of the members of the British cabinet, and the chief official was also called the Minister of War. Later, the War Department was renamed the Ministry of Defense, and the Minister of War became the Minister of Defense in later generations.

The establishment of the Provisional War Department basically excluded George Churchill, the colonial minister, from the New World War. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been furious and even ran to George II to file a complaint.
