Chapter 679

Although the representatives of Britain, the United States, France, the West and the Netherlands have signed the Paris peace treaty, a series of procedures still need to be gone through if the contract is to really run.

In the original historical time and space, the peace talks of the war of independence started in April 1782, while the Paris peace treaty was signed on September 3, 1783. When the contract was signed, it was sent to the Federal Assembly of the United States. On January 4, 1784, the Federal Assembly of the United States formally signed and approved the contract. Then in March of the same year, the contract was returned to France and was approved by the British Parliament on April 9. The final effective date of the contract was May 12, 1784.

In other words, it took 25 months from the beginning of the peace talks to the formal entry into force of the contract. It took eight months just from the signing of the contract to the formal entry into force!

There is no way to do this. There are no airplanes or fax machines in this era. It takes one and a half months just to cross the vast Atlantic Ocean.

But this kind of contract must be signed by the British and American parliaments in order to have legal effect, so the delay on the road alone is as long as four months.

In this time and space, although the time of peace talks is not so long, the time between the signing of the contract and the formal entry into force is also several months.

It is estimated that the war of independence in this time and space has been extended for a full four years, and all parties involved in the war have no intention to fight any more. Therefore, the peace talks alone took only nine months, which is eight months shorter than the peace talks in the original historical time and space.

In fact, as long as the peace talks are successful and the negotiators of several parties sign the contract, the formal signing of the parliament, especially the British and American parliaments, is just a ceremony.

When the contract was sent back to the United States by ship, and officially signed by the federal Congress of the United States after discussion, the copy was sent back to Paris, Shi Xiong had learned about the peace talks.

The time when the Congress of the United States officially signed it was March 25, 1787. This date is three years and two months later than the original historical time and space!

However, at this time, the stone bear did not stand up to make a sound, but continued to wait.

When the contract was sent back to Paris on May 11, the British Parliament immediately signed its own contract. Then on June 6, 1787, the British and American contracts were exchanged at the palace of Versailles in Paris.

At this time, the "Paris peace treaty" in this time and space is officially effective, and Britain recognizes the independence of the United States!

The Americans are so happy that they are almost at the back of their heads. The four countries of Britain, France and the Netherlands are also quite satisfied. After all, they have also got what they want in this contract.

The content of the contract is very different from that of the previous life. To sum up, these European powers directly and privately divided the new continent of North America without the consent of the indigenous people of the new continent of North America, that is, the Indians.

When the representative of the United States crossed the Atlantic again and returned to the new world, not two days later, some well-dressed Indians appeared in Philadelphia, Paris, London and Madrid.

It's good to say that Philadelphia is the new continent of North America after all, and there are Indians living in the city itself, so it's not surprising that there are Indians. But the presence of Indians in big European cities like London, Paris and Madrid is rare.

The Indians, in particular, were dressed up and looked very imposing.

These Indians are under the hands of the Yanhuang tribe intelligence chief rabbit mouth. They began to learn the languages of some European countries a long time ago. Now, these people are in use.

For example, before Buckingham Palace in Westminster, London, there were twelve Indians in full dress.

At this time, Britain's palace is not Buckingham Palace, Buckingham Palace is just George III's bedroom. But when these Indians appeared here, they blocked George III's house.

The British guards guarding Buckingham Palace naturally want to stop these Indians. Are you kidding? Their king is resting in his bedroom at this time.

However, these guards didn't fight against these Indians. Even these guards now know that there is a very powerful Indian tribe in North America. Of course, their impression of this Indian tribe comes from the kind of cigarettes they like to smoke

When the leaders of the twelve Indians said in some strange English, "I am the chief, the son of God, representing the Yanhuang tribe in the new world of North America, to meet his Majesty King George III", the guards immediately reported the news.

Although these Indians were dressed up strangely, their diplomatic etiquette was not wrong at all. The guards didn't know what the Indians were coming for, but they didn't dare to delay.

So when George III summoned the twelve Indians to Buckingham Palace, the leading Indian respectfully sent a letter inlaid with gold silk.

George III was also very curious about what these Indians had sent. He looked down and found that the handwriting on this luxurious document was very beautiful fancy English, but the content made George III unable to sit still.

"Your Majesty King George William Frederick, king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, king of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick Luneburg, is the chief of the Yanhuang tribe in the new world of North America.

I heard that your country and the United States reached a "Paris peace treaty", which ended the 12 year war. This is a matter worthy of congratulations.

But when you signed the contract with the United States, why didn't you join our Yanhuang tribe? After all, our Yanhuang tribe is the host of this continent, and your country and those Americans are only our guests.

Moreover, I heard that the contract signed by your country and the United States of America allowed the United States to become independent without the consent of our Yanhuang tribe. In my opinion, this is a very serious mistake. You are welcome to open up wasteland, plant, live and work in our mainland. We also like to do all kinds of trade with you. But please don't forget that this is our territory. If there is a legal regime on this road, it is only the Yanhuang tribe. We do not recognize any other regime, and we will never allow any other regime to appear on our land! Because this will cause the division of our territory, we will never allow this situation! To this end, we do not hesitate to fight!

Therefore, we Yanhuang tribe hereby give you a notice, hoping that you can rescind this contract. If you don't abrogate this contract, I'm sorry. We will wipe out the independent regime on our land!

Of course, if we do so, we will only aim at the regime that dares to be independent, not at your country. Before that, after all, our tribe and your country have a very good cooperative relationship. We very much hope that we can continue to maintain this good cooperative relationship with your country. I also very much hope that our tribe can become the best trading partner with your country.

Well, what? English is extensive and profound. The original text of the document is definitely not written like this, but the meaning of the translation is not bad.

According to the later description of count cyrencester, who was then an adjutant to the king of England, "Your Majesty was completely dumbfounded after reading this document at that time..."
