The funny thing is that I do have an idea for England talking to/arguing with somebody over selling America to France, but I can't remember where in the timeline that happens, which means I can't figure out who he'd be talking to, because there was a power change in England at some point, and since the Baen Free CD library got taken down it's harder to do quick fact-checks. (Not that I blame them for it! But it does mean a lot of poking around trying to figure out if I've got the books with the relevant info in.)
