Chapter 358: Not allowing the United States to expand is an infringement of American interests! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"What? How dare those yellow-skinned monkeys send more troops to Texas?" President Jackson heard the report from his Secretary of War, John Henry Eaton, and his temper immediately rose.

The attack in Texas City, Texas, already made Jackson very angry!

It sounds like it was all the fault of the Japanese. At that time, Sam Houston, the leader of the American immigrants in Texas, led 2,000 Texas militiamen (Americans) to attack Texas City, which was built by the Japanese on the seaside. Not only did the latter not surrender, but they also stayed in Texas City.

Peripheral ambush! The damn Japanese used a dense firepower network composed of 155mm howitzers, 75mm field guns, and 7.5mm water-cooled machine guns to suddenly cover the Houston militia, killing more than 1,000 people on the spot, and even Sam Houston himself was injured.

.

When the news reached Washington, public opinion was in an uproar! They all agreed that Japan had seriously violated the sovereignty of the United States of America and demanded that the U.S. government declare war on Japan immediately.

President Jackson was a war president who opened up nearly one million square kilometers of territory for the United States (including Texas). He also had a very bad temper. He was the only president in American history who personally skinned a human being! Washington also ordered the massacre of Indians.

He probably has never done such a thing as skinning someone under an order. But this president has skinned it with his own hands, which shows how ferocious he is! If he hadn't been so ruthless, he wouldn't have dared to clean up the Second Bank of the United States like him.

, the president who wants to make America great again is simply too weak.

But on the issue of declaring war on Japan, President Jackson still suppressed his anger. Because in his view, the Texas City incident showed that it was a conflict between American immigrant groups in Texas and Japanese immigrant groups. But in fact

But it was a conflict between the United States and the Mexican Empire. The Mexican Empire attempted to deprive the United States of its natural right to expand freely on the American continent and introduced a heavily armed Japanese immigrant group.

So the culprit in this matter is Mexico!

If the United States vents its anger on Japan and conflicts with distant Japan, wouldn't it be fulfilling the wishes of the Mexican Emperor Agustín?

Besides, the American immigrants in Texas are not equal to the U.S. government, and the Japanese immigrants in Texas are not equal to the Japanese government. It seems overbearing for the immigrants from both sides to declare war when there is a conflict over territory in a third country. Even the British Empire is not like that.

Is that so? In fact, immigrants from Ireland often fight with immigrants from England on the streets of New York! People die every now and then, but doesn’t the British government turn a blind eye?

Moreover, the declaration of war was not something that President Jackson could declare in just one sentence. It had to be approved by the U.S. Congress. It was also impossible for Congress to agree to the president's declaration of war on Japan just because of the conflict between American and Japanese immigrants on Mexican soil.

Therefore, President Jackson simply sent a fleet envoy to Texas City and asked the Japanese immigrant group to evacuate within a time limit, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

Unexpectedly, Japan not only refused to evacuate Texas, but also sent more troops to Texas. This was too much!

Thinking of this, President Andrew Jackson asked again: "Did the British Ambassador say how many people the Japanese sent over?"

"I didn't say," Eaton shook his head, "I just said that more than 20 warships, troop carriers, and transport ships were dispatched."

"What?" President Andrew Jackson became angry again, "They also sent warships? This is an invasion of the United States and an act of war against the United States!"

The Japanese went too far this time. They actually sent in warships, and there were 20 warships in each group. This nature is completely different from sending 10,000 to 20,000 armed immigrants.

So Andrew Jackson immediately picked up the receiver of the Huaxing telephone on his desk and hung up the phone to U.S. Secretary of State Martin Van Buren.

This Martin Van Buren was the "conciliator" in the cabinet. During this period, he helped Jackson reconcile with some ministers who were opposed to the Eaton couple, and thus won Jackson's trust.

As Secretary of State, he certainly knew about Japan's dispatch of a fleet to transport troops to America earlier than Eaton. Before Jackson's call, he had just contacted Ming Dynasty Ambassador Guo Zhiqian.

"Mr. President, this is indeed the case. But according to Ambassador Guo of Ming Dynasty, it is not a naval fleet sent by Japan. Japan does not have a navy now. It is the navy of the Texas Japanese Self-Defense Force, called the Texas Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

, there are no powerful ships, just 2 frigates, 12 destroyers, and 5 transport ships.”

"That won't work!" Andrew Jackson shouted, "Martin, prepare an ultimatum for me!"

"Ultimatum? To whom?" asked the Secretary of State on the other side of the line.

"Of course it's an ultimatum to Japan!" Andrew Jackson said.

"President," the U.S. Secretary of State reminded, "the ultimatum that we have no diplomatic relations with Japan may not be delivered."

Japan's diplomacy has always been about saving money when it can. However, because the United States is a traitorous son of Great Britain and built its country by subjugating subordinates, it is treasonous! Therefore, Japan has saved Japan-US diplomacy.

The President of the United States finally remembered that the United States and Japan seemed to have no diplomatic relations.

"Then how do we conduct diplomatic business with Japan?" President Jackson asked again.

"In the past, it was done through us and the Japanese embassy in the UK, but now it is done through the embassy in Ming Dynasty."

President Jackson said: "Then prepare an ultimatum and call Ming Dynasty Ambassador Guo Zhiqian to the White House!"

"Yes, President."

"What? An ultimatum? Mr. President, Mr. Secretary of State, what do you mean? Do you want to submit an ultimatum to tomorrow's DPRK?"

In the Oval Office of the white house, Guo Zhiqian, the Ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to Washington, who had just arrived, started shouting as soon as he came in. Although this was a bit inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette, Guo Zhiqian was the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was an exception!

Although Andrew Jackson had a bad temper and was a racist, he strongly agreed with the "Yellow Peril" theory. But he also knew that the Ming Dynasty was really a Yellow Peril, and it was a big one! When Adams Jr. was president two years ago, the Ming Dynasty also asked

Mexico and Gran Colombia sold four "anti-American packages", which almost changed the ranking of naval forces on the American continent. Fortunately, America's "British Father" even took action and helped the United States build a powerful "United States" class battleship.

Otherwise, the first navy in the Americas would have become Mexico!

But this incident also made the U.S. authorities feel the power of the "Yellow Peril". Although American politicians in this era are all white supremacists, and their eyes are filled with hatred when they look at Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty is a truly huge Yellow Peril, so don't mess with it.

It's better not to mess with it, otherwise you'll be looking for trouble!

"Mr. Ambassador," U.S. Secretary of State Martin Van Buren had no choice but to smile and explain in broken Chinese, "We in the United States have no intention of becoming an enemy of Ming Dynasty. We just want Ming Dynasty to transfer our ultimatum to Japan!"

"Japan?" Guo Zhiqian found it difficult to listen to Van Burunda's words, so he simply started speaking English, "Why? Why did they offend you?"

"They violated American interests in Texas!" Andrew Jackson said.

"What interests do you have in Texas? Isn't Texas part of the Mexican Empire?"

"We have a group of immigrants there!" said Andrew Jackson. "The Japanese group of Texas immigrants not only attacked the American group of immigrants, causing more than 1,000 deaths, but Japan also sent a fleet to escort more armed personnel to the Americas. This

It is a serious violation of the interests of the United States! It is also a serious violation of every American. America is the America of Americans! If Japan does not immediately evacuate their residents in Texas and let the fleet heading to the Americas turn around and return immediately

, and promise not to invade the Americas again, then the United States will retain the power to take all measures!"
