But Joseph's next words surprised Heinsius. Joseph said: "Although His Highness will not provide guarantees for his own rules, I, Joseph of Haifa, am willing to guarantee his Highness Yu. Next, I will deposit three million Dutch guilds into several banks in Amsterdam. If His Highness Yu violates the rules of war he has set himself, you can confiscate my property as compensation, okay?"

Mark Rutt couldn't help but pull Heinsius in shock. He understood that Joseph's guarantee was more effective than the guarantee of the Chinese prince. The reason was very simple. The Chinese prince had countless resources. It was nothing to give out millions of Dutch guilds, but this money might be most of Joseph's net worth, and Joseph's like this was enough to show his attitude.

"Well, Mr. Joseph, I understand your position. And I have made a decision. The meeting is about to begin. I believe that it will end soon. After the end, we will talk in detail. Is it OK?" Heinsius stood up and said.

Joseph nodded slightly, then said goodbye and returned to his residence. Heinsius went to the hall of the House with Mark Rutt. Walking in the corridor, he could hear the messy quarrels coming from it. Suddenly, Heinsius stopped and asked, "Mark, I remember that the laws of war that Mr. Joseph said has a time limit."

"November 20." Mark Rutte had a very good memory and said it directly, and he realized that something was wrong: "Why is there such a time limit? Obviously this is not for negotiation between the two parties."

Heinsius speeded up and said, "Mark, we must speed up the progress. The Chinese prince set such a time limit, which is likely to be a military operation in that area before this time. No matter what the operation is, I feel bad."

Whether it is the Dutch parliament or the Hague's third-level parliament, there will be no suspense in the vote after the rules of war are announced. In the case of France challenging the European order, the United Provinces can face a new enemy for England, but there is no need for the colony of England. Moreover, Joseph also brought Heinsius a letter from Li Junwei, promising that the empire would not seek to seize the overseas colony of the United Provinces, after all, the current colony of the Netherlands overseas is no longer good.

The third-level parliament made a decision quickly, and the United Provinces had no intention of declaring war on China, which was not in the interests of its own country. Even representatives from several provinces of the Orange faction probably abstained. But the problem is that the third-level parliament had no right to decide whether to impress the war. In the United Provinces where Prince William was in power, it should be up to him to decide whether to declare war. Therefore, Heinsius returned to London for only three days in the United Provinces and brought joint letters from four-fifths of the members of the Third-level parliament to enhance his persuasion.

London.

William III held a glass of wine and saw the dusty Heinsius walking into the castle at the window. Beside him was a young and powerful Count John Churchill. He was the ancestor of the British Prime Minister Churchill during World War II.

Churchill's family was originally unknown in England, but he had a beautiful sister, Arabella Churchill. This lady changed from the housekeeper of Mrs. James II to the mistress of James II, and gave birth to four children for James II, which allowed Churchill to enter the upper class. Of course, Churchill himself also made great achievements in combat and gained all the trust of James II in his more than 20 years of career. Churchill himself is also very outstanding in dancing.

It is said that Churchill had an affair with King Charles' mistress and was blocked in the bedroom and forced to jump out of the window. However, even though he was cuckolded, Charles II was still not angry. However, during the Glorious Revolution, this general trusted by James II betrayed him and was therefore named Earl of Marbarrow by William III. Churchill held real power around King William with the support of the British Parliament.

"Earl, it seems that your trick has failed." William III closed the window and said to Churchill.

Churchill was also helpless and hid the attachment of the declaration of war and deceived Heinsius. Churchill and the British Parliament that supported him knew that even King William did not care about the colonies in the Americas. In this case, he could only use some means to make the Union Province and even the entire Grand Alliance declare war on China, but he never thought that Li Junwei had already made arrangements.

"Your Majesty, please tell Mr. Heinsius the truth, so that he will still be loyal to you." Churchill said generously.

William shook his head gently: "I will not betray my friend, Earl, you are my friend."

Churchill lowered his head and saluted, with an unexplained smile on his face. Although the plan failed, Britain did not gain nothing. In Churchill's view, even if the United Province did not declare war on China in the end, Britain had gained a lot of benefits, which could at least provoke the relationship between King William and his Dutch confidants. Heinsius was a republican, and was born with an inconsistent relationship with the Orange faction. This matter would inevitably cause William to have a rift with the Republican faction, so that King William would need more and more the help of the British Parliament.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've let you down." Heinsius thoughtfully. He entered the king's office without mentioning his deception at all. He directly told the decision of the Hague's third-level parliament and took out the letter with more signatures than content.

After seeing it, William looked at Churchill again and said, "His Speaker of the Grand Principal, you must be clear that if the United Province does not follow England to declare war on China, it may be the conspiracy of the Chinese prince. This is a provocation of the Grand Principal and the Grand Principal has caused a great division between the United Province and the Grand Principal."

Heinsius knew that William would say this long ago, and he was prepared. Looking at King William's eyes, he said, "You are wrong. Your Majesty the King. In fact, this is a division between Britain and the Grand Alliance. Not only the United Provinces, but other allies of the Grand Alliance also disagree to declare war on China. In fact, if war is declared, the Grand Alliance will lose a lot! In Amsterdam, I met with Emperor Leobed's envoy to Amsterdam. He proposed an idea that perhaps we should exchange the British American colonies for China to join the Grand Alliance and declare war on Louis Tyrant."

After seeing Churchill's face change drastically, Heinsius said: "Although his idea is very arrogant and does not consider the feelings of British allies, the fact is that the Grand Alliance cannot bear the price of being an enemy of China."

As he said that, Heinsius took out several documents from the clip and handed them to William. After King William browsed, he handed them to Churchill.

Although the Empire did not declare war on the Grand Alliance and the alliance with France was not smooth, in fact, the Empire had long joined the European battlefield, but it was not by directly participating in the war. In Xizin, Suez and Cape Town, merchant ships from various countries participating in the war were gathered to buy all the materials that could be used for war from the Chinese. At the beginning, they were just raw materials such as food and steel. Starting from this year, even guns, cannons and ammunition could be purchased directly.

On the battlefield in the Rhineland, the Austrians were surprised to find that the French soldiers on the opposite side used the same flintlock rifle as themselves. In the battlefield in the south, the artillery of the Duke of Savoy could directly stuff the shells shot from the opposite side into their gun barrels and shoot them back. When the battle was finished and the battlefield was cleaned, the bayonets pulled out from the bodies of both sides were the same.

The war has entered a new dimension. At the beginning, everyone used short and fast methods such as purchasing Chinese equipment to expand their army and enhance their combat effectiveness. But the facts have proved that those Chinese equipment are often easier to use than those they made. In less than a year, the frontline generals made the request to change all the equipment. The army is no longer free from the weapons and ammunition provided by the Chinese.

However, factories in Xijin, Nanyang and South Africa are still accelerating their horsepower production. These guns and cannons will not stop declaring war on the empire. On the contrary, this will all pour into the hands of the French, which is unacceptable to the Great Alliance.

Churchill didn't speak, but after understanding these situations, he felt that what Heinsius said with the Austrian envoy made sense. Perhaps it was a good plan to exchange North American colonies for China to join the Grand Alliance. Unfortunately, the British Parliament would not agree.

"......... Then, Grand Speaker, is the third-level parliament asking me to make the decision that the United Provinces will not declare war on China?" William asked with a narrow eye. This Prince Orange, who rose from the French-Holland War, said the same thing in the Netherlands. Few people dared to oppose him, but Heinsius would not compromise this time.

Heinsius nodded, and William III asked, "Speaker, I don't care about other people's attitudes, I want to know your attitude."

Heinsius said: "My attitude is not important, Your Majesty."

"You are the Speaker of the Grand Speaker, why is your attitude unimportant?" William obviously didn't want to let go.

Heinsius had long guessed that William would succumb to the common will of the third-level parliament, but was angry that the third-level parliament challenged his authority this time. He did not want to bear the king's anger at this time, so he said, "If I support the declaration of war, I will soon be the Speaker of the Grand Priest, Your Majesty. I can provide you with two messages.

First, there are already people in the third-level parliament to impeach you and cancel your ruling status. This includes members of the two provinces of Zeran and the Netherlands, and most of them are waiting and watching whether the Netherlands is going to declare war on China. If so, I would like to support more people than you see in this letter.

The third-level parliament is already discussing the next Financial and Navy bill. This bill will vote after you declare that the United Province will not declare war on China. As far as I know, the bill stipulates that the United Province provides loans for the Navy to the United Provinces to the United States can only be used to build battleships, not schooners and cruise ships.”

After the British and Dutch ruled together, the most important agreement reached was about war. Because the United Provinces were fighting on land with France, the Netherlands had to bear most of the army. In the navy, the British and the Netherlands had to achieve a three-to-two ratio. Most of the money for the newly built warships came from United Provinces loans. If there was no empire, it was actually just using the money saved by United Provinces to build the world's number one navy for England.

Now, the third-level parliament reminds William of the United Provinces in the form of preparing for impeachment, and prepares to further restrict after William surrenders, with the purpose of avoiding the misunderstandings caused by China. After all, Li Junwei demarcated the war area in the New World, and battleships cannot be driven. The construction of battleships is entirely for dealing with France, while cruisers and schooners cannot.

"Earl, what about your opinion?" William looked at Churchill.

Churchill knew that no one could force the Netherlands to declare war on China without threatening the Netherlands. Although the British Parliament hoped that the Grand Alliance would declare war on China to protect its overseas interests, it was impossible now. Churchill said: "France is the most important enemy, my Majesty."

William nodded. Even though he was very unhappy when he was forced, he still signed the order of the United Republic of the Netherlands to not declare war on China. After seeing it, Heinsius breathed a little relieved and said, "Your Majesty, have you considered why the Prince of China set a time limit when formulating the rules of war and demarcating the combat areas?"

"You mean that Chinese people have to do something that violates the rules before the time limit comes?" Churchill said first.

"If it is outside the time limit, it is not considered a violation of the rules, Earl," said Heinsius.

Since Heinsius's purpose has been achieved, he will no longer participate in the war between Britain and China, after all, it has nothing to do with him. So he stood up and left, and William III called Heinsius, who was about to walk out of the office, and said, "His Speaker, are you going back to Amsterdam or work in London?"

"Of course I'm here to serve you in London, my Majesty." Heinsius said politely.

William III nodded, and Heinsius turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately. William III conspired with the British Parliament to deceive and use him, but Heinsius was not so easy to let go. Moreover, this time he went back to The Hague, he found that the dissatisfaction with the king in China had accumulated quite a lot. Although the MPs who wanted to impeach William were radicals, this kind of thing was discussed publicly is a signal.

In fact, after William became the king of England, he tried to maintain a balance between the two countries and was slightly inclined toward the United Provinces. However, the contradiction was that he was a Dutchman, but he wanted to fight for and stabilize the British throne. The result was that Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and was not a human inside or outside. Both parliaments believed that one of them was at a disadvantage. The British parliament believed that King William's Dutch confidants had too much power, while the Hague third-level parliament believed that William invested the army and money that should have been used to surround the United Provinces to the battlefields of Scotland and Ireland.
