Chapter 1550 Warning from the French Ambassador
The port of Portsmouth, where the Fourth Fleet and the Far West Expeditionary Force are jointly stationed, is regarded by the British as the Eastern Legion.Since the Eastern Legion helped the king's army defeat the London Parliament, their reputation has spread far and wide, and they are feared. The Spanish ambassadors, French ambassadors, and Dutch ambassadors stationed in the city of London reported to their kings or consuls, Both describe the horror of the Eastern Legion.

Many kingdoms on the European continent had to turn their attention to this Eastern Legion, fearing that they would bring disaster to the kingdom.

Participating in the British Civil War was not the first time that the Eastern Legion had intervened in European affairs. Earlier, they had taught the Ottoman Navy and the Egyptian Mamluk cavalry in the Mediterranean.

Now they have pushed Princess Sophia to the position of Queen of the United Kingdom, making countries on the European continent suspect that England and Scotland have been controlled by the Orientals, and the kings asked the ambassadors to question the English Parliament.

They found Prince Rupert, who is now a member of the House of Lords.Before Princess Sophia returned to the city of London, he was one of the leaders of the royalist faction, and his attitude often represented the attitude of the royalist faction in power.

"Prince Rupert, we in the United Provinces of the Netherlands suspect that your England has been infiltrated by Easterners. They have garrisons in your ports and participated in your civil war. Even your upcoming Queen Sophia has been studying in the East all year round. They are active in the Mediterranean Sea and England. We are worried that they will even use your England name to intervene in the affairs of the European continent. Please make sure our worries are not unnecessary. You should also know that our war with Spain has continued After more than 70 years, we believe that after France intervenes in the war, the war will definitely end in the next ten years. The European continent has not enjoyed peace for a long time, and the intervention of Orientals in European affairs will cause turmoil in the situation.” Ambassador of the Netherlands took the lead to report Prince Rupert raised his concerns.

"Please rest assured that the Easterners have not infiltrated our English parliament. They intervened in England's civil war just to maintain their previous contract with His Majesty King Charles. Please look at the hundreds of nobles in the House of Lords and the House of Commons Which of them is an oriental? If all the people who make up the parliament are English, why do you think that England is controlled by the oriental?" In view of the tacit cooperation with Sun Chuanting, the young and vigorous Prince Rupert did not consider Ned Envoy Lan heard what envoy Lan said, and thought that Sun Chuanting was as loyal to King Charles as he was, and was much more cordial than those in the opposition such as Pym and Hampton.

"I hope your statement is correct, Prince Rupert, otherwise I am really worried about the future of our West." The Dutch envoy could not refute the fact that the English Parliament, which holds sovereignty, is all English, so he took his hat and left with Prince Rupert. meeting office.

The Dutch envoy had just left when the French ambassador came to see him again.

Prince Rupert had to face tremendous pressure, and the French ambassador was much more difficult than the Dutch ambassador.

Behind the French ambassador are King Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, and the queen of England is still the sister of Louis XIII. Even Prince Rupert had to deal with them carefully.

"Our great Majesty Louis XIII strongly condemns your English Parliament's arbitrarily determined candidate for the throne of England. According to the rules of succession to the throne, Princess Anne, the daughter of King Charles, should be on the throne, not Princess Sophia." The French ambassador directly said to Prince Rupert voiced their grievances.

Sure enough, France still wants to intervene in England's succession to the throne!

When Prince Rupert and other royalists supported Princess Sophia, they considered that this would cause dissatisfaction with the French king, but they did not want the queen from France to interfere with their beliefs, so they resolutely chose Princess Sofia.

The King of France's reprimand came a bit late, but it came anyway!

Princess Henrietta, wife of Charles I and sister of Louis XIII, took Princess Anne back to her natal home in Paris. As an older brother, Louis XIII wanted to make his two-year-old granddaughter Princess Anne Inherit the thrones of England and Scotland!
"Princess Anne is too young. Our English Parliament appoints a mature Princess Sophia to take the throne, which can lead our United Kingdom to prosperity and is more in line with the interests of our English people. Not only our English Parliament, but also the Scottish Parliament has also recognized Princess Sophia To be Queen of the United Kingdom. Provided, of course, that she does not interfere with beliefs throughout the United Kingdom," said Prince Rupert.

The French ambassador frowned slightly after hearing this: "As far as I know, Princess Sophia has been playful since she was a child, and she made a lot of fun in London. Her father and brother two kings have indulged her behavior. If you say It is absolutely unconvincing that she will lead the United Kingdom to prosperity. On the contrary, if Princess Anne can get the best education in Paris, she will definitely be a qualified queen when she grows up. We can agree For the time being, Princess Sofia will rule, but when Princess Anne comes of age, Princess Sofia will need to hand over the throne to Princess Anne."

"Hmph, Louis XIII should be busy fighting with the Kingdom of Spain, so he doesn't have the energy to divide his troops to fight for the throne for Princess Anne. To be honest, unless Princess Sofia has no heirs or becomes a tyrant, in order to maintain the stability of England and Scotland, the throne It will always be hers," said Prince Rupert.

The French ambassador was furious: "Is there any reason for the parliament to easily decide whether the king will stay or not? Your England is leaving the seeds of war for the future succession of the throne. You will regret your decision!"

"When that day comes, we will see the outcome on the battlefield. Don't continue to underestimate our infantry. We have gone through the experience of war and are chasing forward." After defeating the parliamentary army, Prince Rupert was full of confidence and young He is not afraid of threats from European powers.

Even if England's infantry regiment is not as good as France's, but it is blocked by the English Channel, with France's newly established navy, do you want to cross the English Channel to attack England?Not to mention that there is also a good fighting Eastern army stationed in Portsmouth.

"The long war on the European continent will end soon. If you, England, continue to collude with the Easterners, you will definitely be attacked. You have broken away from the two camps of the Holy See and the anti-Holy See." Prince Rupert issued a warning.
