Just when France experienced a political earthquake and Napoleon was reigned as Dick Thito, no, it should be the first in power, and there were also violent shocks in British politics.

The Whigs violently attacked the Tories' rule and focused the fire of criticism on Prime Minister William Pitt Jr. They accused him of being responsible for Britain's failure on the European continent. At this time, Prime Minister Pitt had a conflict with King George III because of his religious policies in Ireland.

The British king of this period was not the pure national symbol later. The king still had high authority and power. The most important thing about Pete's ability to ascend to the position of prime minister in his twenties was to receive the support of the king. It was the union with the king that allowed Pete and the Tories to suppress the Whigs in their long-term control of the political arena and become the Prime Minister and ruling party of Britain. Of course, Pete has always claimed to be a "Whig", but neither the Whigs nor the Tories recognized it.

King George III has always been very supportive of Pete Little, but on religious issues, the two have a great conflict. In order to soften the Irish, Pete Little proposed that Catholicism could be allowed to operate legally in Ireland. This may be conducive to differentiating the Irish, but it touched the king's reverse scale.

In Britain, since the Cromwell Revolution, the king's most staunch supporter was the Anglican Church. This church was counted as Protestantism, but the similarity between the "Protestantism" and Catholicism is much greater than that of them and authentic Protestantism such as Lutheranism and Calvinism on the European continent. Except for not recognizing the Popes of Rome and replacing them with British kings, they are almost indistinguishable from Catholicism in terms of doctrine, rituals and even clothing.

Generally speaking, if the two religions differ greatly, it will naturally bring about struggle. But if the difference is small, it does not mean peace, it only means a more intense struggle. Pagans are certainly hateful, but heresy is more hateful than pagans, and the smaller the heresy is, the more hateful it is because he is more likely to bewitch our flock!

For the Anglican Church, recognizing the right of Catholicism to act legally in the United Kingdom, even if it is just a legal activity in Ireland, is a huge threat to the Anglican Church. Today, the Anglican Church is the basic political foundation of the British king. Although George III suffered from porphyria, he even had mental disorders when the disease was severe. For example, in 1788, George III, who was sick, regarded a large oak as the king of Prussia and argued with it for more than two hours on some important issues. But when he was not sick, he was still very awake.

Although the king has always admired Pete, on this issue, as long as he has not been sick, he will never allow Pete to do this. So the Prime Minister lost his most important supporter at this most dangerous moment.

In the end, in order to preserve the Tory regime, in this critical moment, he could only aggrieved Pete and asked him to take the blame first. So after Napoleon seized Hannover, Pete resigned.

It is said that when Henry Addington, who succeeded him, came to Pete's office, Pete was directing the servants to pack their own things and prepare to leave. A servant also rolled up a large map of Europe hanging on the wall, stuffed it into a box to take it away, and was seen by Pete. So the former prime minister shouted: "That map is to be left for Henry!"

The servant quickly prepared to hang the map again, but Little Pete suddenly smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'll put it away, so don't hang it anymore. Anyway, in the next ten years, I guess the British Prime Minister will no longer need to look at the European map."

In fact, in the face of the current situation, there is nothing we can do about the newly-changed Prime Minister Henry Addington. But sometimes, changing hands is like changing knives. If someone changes, you may be able to change your luck.

This is like some football clubs in later generations. When their grades are bad, they often don’t care about it and try to change a coach first. And there are indeed many times when a new coach changes, although the new coach has almost done nothing, the team’s luck will suddenly improve.

In the past, I shot dozens of times and shot more than ten times, but I couldn’t even get one ball in. Now I have changed a coach, in one game, I have shot five or six times, shot one or two, and then I have scored the ball. Even before, as long as someone hits our post, the ball will bounce into the net, and when we hit the post, the ball will bounce out. But after changing the coach, the situation immediately reversed. There are more than one or two such things.

The British's change of prime minister seems to have achieved the same effect. Just two weeks after the new prime minister took office, good news came from the British Navy: the new ship they spent a lot of money to develop was successful in the experiment. According to the Navy, using such ships, they will definitely reduce the efficiency of the smuggling route from France to Ireland significantly.

For some time before, Britain and France were busy with wars on the European continent, so Ireland had a rest for a while: the British had no troops and the Irish did not receive much supplies, so everyone could only play small things during this period.

Today, France has won an undisputed victory on the European continent and received a large amount of compensation. Everyone needs to understand what happened next, and they will definitely increase their support for the Irish rebellion.

This is also a reason why the Tories have a problem. Although Pete lost his position as prime minister, his position as prime minister is still at the hands of the Tories, because Whigs generally believe that the current market has neither shown signs of improvement nor the extreme of failure, and it is not the right time to buy at the bottom. If you are in a hurry to buy at the bottom now, if you don’t do it well, you will copy it halfway through the mountain and trap yourself.

Upon receiving this news, Prime Minister Addington was overjoyed and immediately ran to the Admiralty to learn about the situation.

"Prime Minister, this is the model of our new ship." In the Navy, a naval officer began to explain the relevant knowledge to Prime Minister Addington to several models.

"Well, why is this ship so... so weird?" As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Addington could not be unfamiliar with the ship. However, this kind of ship is really ugly in appearance, far less beautiful than the model of the French flying scissors placed aside.

"Prime Minister, look at the French scissors next to him. This kind of ship has low freeboards, severe waves, and is shaking violently, so it cannot be equipped with cannons at all. However, because it is too fast, it does not require cannons at all. Anyway, all warships that can carry cannons cannot catch up with it.

You also know that in order to intercept such high-speed smuggling ships, we once imitated a group of these ships. Then we intercepted them by the most traditional sea combat methods. However, the enemy quickly changed their strategies and developed naval warfare weapons similar to the Byzantine ‘Greek Fire’. We caught us off guard and suffered a lot of losses.”

Prime Minister Addington nodded after hearing this. He had already known these situations before he took office.

"But the situation is different now. Now that we have this new ship, we can not only catch up with the enemy at speed, but also equip cannons and use cannons to solve the battle." The officer continued to introduce.

"Is it this ship? It doesn't look like it can run as fast as it can run." Addington asked.

In the study of fly-scissors, the British also summarized several reasons why fly-scissors can run so fast, one of which is the exaggerated aspect ratio and smooth lines. But neither of these are visible on this boat.

"Prime Minister, we have a steam engine on this ship." The officer said, "Look at the two paddle wheels next to it, they can push the ship forward by the steam engine."

"So, can our ships catch up with the French smuggling ships?" Addington asked.

"Not necessarily." The officer shook his head, "The French's clippers can reach about 15 knots at the fastest, and ours can only run to the eleven knots at the fastest."

"How can that work?" said Prime Minister Addington.

"Prime Minister, after all, we are still experimental ships and there is room for further improvement. In addition, the scissor ships can not run to the fifteenth knot at any time. When there is no wind, the scissor ships will have a limited speed. However, our ships are basically not affected by wind. Moreover, in order to use the wind, we must go to a straight line, but our ships can go to a straight line. So although our ships are a little lower in speed, they may not be able to catch up with them in the sea."

"So, is there any problem with our ship like this?"

"Prime Minister, our ship is driven by a steam engine, so we need to carry coal. If the coal bin is too large, it will cause a slowdown. If the coal bin is small, it will affect the itinerary. In addition, our ship has poor navigation performance under high sea conditions and is far inferior to that of the fly-scissor ship."

"What? The navigation ability of high sea conditions is not as good as that of flying scissors? Then how do you use the cannons on it?" Prime Minister Addington was surprised.

"Prince, in high sea conditions, the shaking of the ship will cause the paddle wheel to come out, which will lead to a sharp decline in propulsion efficiency. It is not because of other reasons, so in general sea conditions, there is no problem with our ship using cannons. It's just that because steam engines and paddle wheels are arranged, the number of cannons that can be loaded is relatively small."
