Chapter 632 (1/2)

In fact, the stone bear was psychologically prepared for the declaration of war in France.

The situation in France is here. Their king Louis XVI, who has just been in power for four years, is really unlucky.

When he took over the scepter from his grandfather and became the fifth king of the Bourbon Dynasty, this great grandson was always in bad luck.

Louis XVI had an amazing wife, Mary Antoinette, who was born in the palace of Hofburg in Vienna. At the age of 14, she married Louis XVI, then the crown prince.

However, although Queen Mary was born in a noble family, she did not have the sense of responsibility and mission as a queen. Especially after becoming queen, she not only made no achievements in politics, but also helped her husband to share his worries and difficulties. Instead, she was only keen on dancing, fashion, fun and banquets every day, decorating the garden.

The most important thing is that her husband Louis XVI is a hen pecked husband who dare not take care of her, which makes her even more reckless in the harem. It was because of her extravagance that Louis XVI's empty Treasury became able to starve mice a few years after he came to power.

The Queen Mary also has a nickname ”Lady of the deficit.”.

The meaning is very simple. Louis XVI is heavily in debt and has a huge deficit because of Queen Mary!

Although in the original historical time and space, France acquired Tobago and Senegal after the war of independence, and the financial revenue increased, but it can't stand the misfortune of Queen Mary. Finally, corrupt politics and cruel exploitation led to the outbreak of the French Revolution. Louis XVI became the first king of France and the second king of Europe to be publicly executed

Anyway, Louis XVI is a bad luck guy. In the recent years when he became king, if he wanted to make more money in his pocket, he would certainly take advantage of the war of independence to declare war on Britain again.

As a matter of fact, Louis XVI was really pressed. Therefore, in the original historical time and space, after France declared war on Britain in March 1778, the French Navy showed rare initiative and combat effectiveness, defeating the British Navy many times. It was because of the failure of the naval battle that Britain was finally unable to continue to deliver follow-up reinforcements and materials to the North American continent, which made it difficult for the British army to continue to fight in the North American continent.

As France declared war on Britain and provided key support to the army at sea, the Spaniards also saw hope, so Spain declared war on Britain on June 16, 1779 and joined the French US military alliance. Then the Spaniards and the French launched a four-year siege of the fort.

There is no doubt about the importance of the fort to the British. It is absolutely impossible for the British to lose the fort.

As a result, the French and Spanish fleets besieged the fort of gibraltarian and immediately attracted the main force of the British navy, making it impossible for the British to provide more support to the North American continent.

In the original historical time and space, with France, Spain and the Netherlands declaring war on Britain one after another, the British actually chose half of Europe by themselves. In addition, the thirteen colonies of North America were beyond the reach of the British. It was strange that the British could win the war of independence.

Originally, in the plan of the stone bear, once France declared war on Britain and French warships began to block the British navy in the Atlantic Ocean, the Yanhuang tribe would give more support to the British in North America.

The British troops in the thirteen colonies of North America needed supplies, but because of the French navy, when France declared war on Britain, supplies from Britain would become more and more difficult. Especially in July 1779, Spain and the French Navy began to besiege the fort of gibraltarian and attracted the main force of the British navy, so it would be more and more difficult for the British forces of the thirteen colonies to get supplies.
