Chapter 345 The Second Battlefield—The United States Battleship is about to set sail! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"What, what did you say?" First Sea Lord Sir Thomas Trowbridge stood up excitedly, looked at Huck and shouted: "Huck, say it again!"

His excitement is certainly understandable.

The Japanese immigrants in Texas were all done by the Ming Dynasty. The purpose was to help the Mexican Empire guard the border and guard the treasure land of Texas, while curbing the further growth of the United States and continuing the struggle between the United States and Mexico in Texas to avoid the United States' large-scale Western expansion.

advance, threatening Ming's expansion on the west coast of North America.

The Americans in Texas are of course supported by the U.S. government. The purpose is, of course, to capture the land of Texas. Although the United States already occupies millions of square kilometers of fertile land and has a population of only 20 million, it is of no use at all.

Not that much, and large tracts of fertile land in the country are left uncultivated. But who can think of a shortage of good land? Moreover, Texas is right on the doorstep of the United States, and it also belongs to Mexico, the potential rival of the United States - Mexico is also a big country! The territory is also large

A few million square kilometers larger means less white skin.

But a small population now does not mean it will not grow in the future!

As long as the Mexican Empire has enough good land, Texas, for example, is a very good and very large land, which is flat, fertile, has plenty of rain, a mild climate, and a long coastline and inland rivers. This land must be placed in Europe,

It can accommodate the entire population of France! If it were placed in East Asia, it could accommodate the entire population of Japan.

If Americans don't take over Texas now, there will be millions of immigrants from East Asia or Europe there in the future, and Mexico will become stronger!

So the current conflict in Texas is actually the trigger for the battle over the national destiny of the two American countries, the United States and Mexico.

And the Ming Dynasty is also an American country - the Ming Dynasty also occupies a large area in the northwest corner of the Americas. Although the climate in most of that territory is cold, the livable part is very small, so the population is not large. But the Ming Dynasty

We have always attached great importance to that area and are also looking to expand to Oregon and California.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ming Dynasty to sit back and watch the United States grow stronger, swallow up all the good land in Mexico, and eventually threaten its rule on the west coast of North America. Therefore, once the conflict in Texas escalates, Ming Dynasty will inevitably be involved.

If this matter gets serious, it will become the second battlefield in the West's resistance to Ming Dynasty!

Huck also knew the significance of this matter, so he smiled and said to the First Sea Lord: "Sir, the thing is like this, with the support of Ming Dynasty and Mexico, a large number of Japanese immigrants have moved into Texas in the past two years.

The number exceeded 20,000. This made the white immigrants who moved to Texas from the United States feel dangerous. The Mexican government was also afraid of the large number of American immigrants entering Texas. Last year, it issued a decree prohibiting American immigrants from entering Texas. This made the Americans in Texas

Feeling angry, at the end of last year, Austin and Houston, the leaders of the American immigrants in Texas, united with the local Indians to issue a warning to the Japanese immigrants, telling them to get out of Texas immediately. However, they were rejected by the Japanese immigrants, so Sam Houston

He led a white-Indian coalition of thousands of people to march towards Dezhou City, where the Japanese inhabited. As a result, they were ambushed under Dezhou City and suffered heavy casualties! Now the US government is ready to intervene on the pretext of the killing of foreigners and is asking us for help.

.”

"Prime Minister," Foreign Secretary Robert Peel immediately gave his opinion, "The responsibility for this matter lies entirely with the Mexican authorities. They colluded with the Ming Empire and Japan in an attempt to sell out Texas. They also closed the border and prohibited American immigrants from entering. This is a violation of

The aggression of the United States and the entire Western world cannot be allowed! So we should firmly support the United States!"

The Foreign Secretary of the British Empire is really capable! Because the Mexican authorities were afraid that Americans who entered the country illegally would fight for independence in Texas, they banned them from entering. At the same time, they introduced some Japanese immigrants to fight against the Americans. This threat actually turned into a threat to the United States and even the entire country.

The invasion of the West. The Mexican Empire gave Texas to the United States for free.

After hearing this nonsense, Duke Wellington frowned, "That Emperor Agustine seemed to have ordered two 'Heroes and Guards Packages' three years ago. Have they arrived now?"

"It was here last year," Lord Palmerston, Lord of the Admiralty, laughed, "otherwise Emperor Agustin wouldn't have dared to ban Americans from entering the country illegally!"

The Duke of Wellington clapped his fingers and said: "If I remember correctly, the two packages include two hero-class ships, two hero-class ships, four warrior-class ships, and six guard-class ships, a total of 14 cutting-edge ships, right? In addition, the one in South America

There is also an alliance between the Federation of Gran Colombia and the Mexican Empire, right? Can the navies of these two countries be dealt with by the U.S. Navy on its own?"

"Yes!" Viscount Palmerston said, "With our help, the Americans also built the United States-class battleship. This class of battleship is actually a weakened version of the Victory class. Its firepower and armor are exactly the same as the Victory class, but its speed is slow.

3 knots, and only 18 knots without forced ventilation. However, the United States already has 5 completed United-class ships, which is enough to deal with the Emperor of Mexico’s 2 Hero-class ships and 2 Hero-class ships. As for Gran Colombia, since Bolivar’s death

After that, this country lost its dream, and only a lot of people were left fighting for power, and they split up at some point. So Gran Colombia will not fight against the United States with Mexico at all, they will only remain neutral."

"Okay!" Duke Wellington nodded and said with a smile, "This way the Americans can be sure of victory. As long as the Americans defeat the Mexicans, Ming Dynasty will definitely be involved! The North American battlefield is too far away from Ming Dynasty's homeland, so Ming Dynasty will forcefully intervene.

The price must be huge! If they had not intervened, after defeating Mexico, the Americans would have swallowed Texas, California and Oregon together, becoming an intercontinental country with two oceans, and sharing the Pacific Ocean with Ming Dynasty.

This must be unacceptable to Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, it is clear that there must be a battle between the United States and the United States!"

He glanced at both sides of the conference table, taking in all the gloating faces, "Gentlemen, although the British Empire is facing an unprecedentedly difficult situation, we should still express our firm support to the United States! I hope the cabinet

All members can support my decision!"

Beijing, Xishan Airport is directly under the naval aviation.

A Feilong III passenger airship slowly descended, and then the airship's cabin door opened and the gangway was lowered. Zhuge Weidao and his secretary and adjutant Yu Ziqi emerged from the airship cabin one after the other.

The person who greeted Zhuge Weidao at the airport was his former housekeeper. Recently, with the support of Zhuge Weidao, he was promoted to the political official Dao Yude by the elder Yu Quan of the family. In addition to the eight great families in the Ming Dynasty, there are also

There are several political parties controlled by aristocratic families and Xungui families. Among them, the political party controlled by the Zhuge family, Yu family, Guo family, Zhendong Wang Zhang family and other large families is called the Fair Party!

Judging from the name, it’s fair!

This Fairness Party was founded by King Zhuge Wuzhong. It has always been aimed at safeguarding the "ancestral system" of equalizing land, limiting land, and equality. It is the largest party in the political meeting. With the support of this Fairy Party, Zhuge

When you stop being a general, you can retire and become a civilian minister (the army and navy ministers are active-duty officers), or even become the prime minister!

When Zhuge Weidao saw Yu De coming to pick him up, he cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Xiao Qian, I heard that you have been elected as a political officer. Now your future is bright!"

"Isn't this all thanks to you?" Yu De also bowed his hand, "Without you taking me to the Golden Kingdom for gold plating, I wouldn't have been able to write articles and become famous, and I wouldn't have had such a false reputation when I ran a newspaper.

, my uncle wants to promote me but no one else will recognize him!"

Zhuge Weidao nodded: "We are all our own people. By the way, why do we have time to come to the airport today? Isn't the political council meeting?"

Yu Dedao: "Daozi, don't you know? Something happened in Texas! We might have to go to war with the United States again. This is a two-front war!"
