Chapitre 430: The Queen's Invitation

Elizabeth remarked, "This is called a policy of splendid isolation. Do you understand?" 

"It's not easy for us in the Ing Empire, you know. There's a whole lot to deal with in the New World; we hardly have time to join your continental wars."

Howard responded, "Ah, splendid isolation, sounds quite ideal. If one could truly avoid the continental wars and focus solely on developing a base in the New World, that wouldn't be a bad strategy."

Elizabeth then shared her grievances about the challenges of New World colonization, speaking of the difficulties posed by the indigenous peoples and so forth.

Howard suggested, "A policy of appeasement is still necessary. We shouldn't go there to seize their living space but to bring them care and love."

Elizabeth let out a sarcastic chuckle, clearly dismissive of the idea.
