Chapter 1222 James
Henry thought for a while and shook his head: "No! The Dutch did not refuse directly, but just expressed dissatisfaction. However, judging from their attitude, the Dutch should give certain support to local forces in Myanmar, but it is not clear how much support will be."
"Oh, let's talk about it in detail." James asked with interest.
Henry immediately repeated the Dutch's performance at the meeting. James nodded slightly after listening quietly, expressing his agreement with Henry's view.
"What do our old friends, the French think about this?" James certainly would not forget France's reaction, and for the UK it is not important, neither the Netherlands nor Portugal, what is important is France's attitude.
"Our old friends seem to have some brains and become cautious in their considerations." Henry said with a smile, and then explained Julian's attitude at the meeting in detail, especially Julian's statement about the rights and protection of the nobles. After listening, James basically agreed with Henry's judgment, and at the same time he was a little moved.
"Gone are the days of the Sun King." James sighed. As the most powerful country in Europe today, France has always shown an extremely tough diplomatic attitude. Unfortunately, after Louis XIV's death, France is gradually going downhill.
If it were in the past, France would never use such an attitude to vaguely speak. In the eyes of the proud French nobles, one is one, two is two, and there is no need to play with this method at all. Instead, the British were good at playing with methods. The rise of Britain was relied on the European continent to become stronger step by step by step with the alliance and alliance.
Henry's identity is the representative of the British East India Company in Myanmar. It can be said that he has the highest status in Myanmar. The Honorable James sitting in front of him is not lower than Henry, or even higher.
Because James is not an ordinary person, he is the assistant of George Churchill, the British ambassador to the Ming Dynasty, and the embassy's government counselor.
In addition to this position, James also has part-time jobs within the British East India Company, so his actual position is even higher than Henry. This is also the reason why James can show his superior attitude on Henry's territory. Moreover, outsiders do not know that James has quietly arrived in Myanmar using the reason for returning to China to report his job, and then moved in here until now.
Compared with other countries in Myanmar, the British knew more about the origin of the outbreak of the Myanmar War. This was because the British had a more smooth source of information in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the good personal relationship between the Minister George Churchill and the Ming officials, so they obtained some inside information that other countries did not understand.
It is precisely because of this that George quietly sent James to Myanmar. In the eyes of the British, the Myanmar War was not as simple as the surface. On the surface, the outbreak of the Myanmar War was just a war launched by the military group that failed to compete for the Chinese regime in order to gain a foothold in Myanmar.
