"Tokugawa-kun, don't put too much hope in the Mexican Heroes and Heroes. Until the Texas Sea breaks through the American blockade and enters the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Fleet of the Royal Mexican Navy will not be of much help to you.

.”

Zhuge Weidao shook his head and poured cold water on Tokugawa Qi Zhao's head.

"Why?" Tokugawa Saiaki still doesn't understand, "We are here to help the Mexicans defend Texas. Don't they want to defend Texas anymore?"

"Of course Agustin I wanted to defend Texas," Zhuge Weidao said as he opened a drawer of his desk, took out a situation map of the Caribbean and coastal areas, and spread it out in front of Tokugawa Qiaki.

Then he pointed at Texas above and said, "This is indeed where the fate of Mexico depends! If Emperor Agustin can keep Texas, then in the future Mexico will be able to absorb millions or even more people with these hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of fertile land."

Tens of millions of European immigrants. And the coastal plain area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers from Texas to eastern Mexico along the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea will surely become a prosperous place comparable to the thirteen states in North America!

But if the United States captures Texas, Mexico will lose not only the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the northeast, but also the possibility of growing into a world power and the capital to fight the United States forever. Moreover, Mexico will lose its vast, desolate, and sparsely populated northwest.

The mountains will also be swallowed up by the United States and eventually all will be lost. By then, Mexico will be completely reduced to a vassal of the United States and will never rise again.

However, Agustin's knowledge that he could not lose Texas did not mean that he dared to fight. Otherwise, he would not have remained silent after the Texas incident. Now the American fleet has blocked the Gulf of Texas, while his Caribbean fleet has

Hiding in Port Elizabeth and not daring to show his face."

"Zhuge Jun, that is a strategy to protect ships and defeat the enemy, that is, to have a fleet." Tokugawa Saiaki was still defending Agustin I's policy, "The Americans have received technical assistance from the United Kingdom in recent years and built several ships.

A powerful United States-class ship."

Zhuge Weidao shook his head and smiled: "If Agustin waits, he will only wait for more United States-level or even more advanced American warships! The industrial strength of the United States is not comparable to that of Mexico. As long as they get technical assistance from the United Kingdom, they can

Building ships is like making dumplings! And Mexico is just an agricultural country with mines at home. They can succeed for a while by buying warships, but if they don't dare to make a decisive move when their strength is at an upper hand, the equipment in their hands will become obsolete.

, the enemy’s new equipment was manufactured in batches, but the opportunity was missed!”

As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao suddenly glanced at Tokugawa Qi Zhao with a gloomy look, which made Tokugawa Qi Zhao's heart tremble.

How did he know that Japan in another timeline used the money stolen from the Qing Dynasty to buy advanced British warships? Then during the Russo-Japanese War, they got rid of their own shipbuilding veterans and staged a rare incident.

Better to buy than make.

It's a pity that the Mexican emperor didn't have the courage like the Japanese devils and was reluctant to use the newly acquired heroes to fight against the Americans. As a result, the Americans relied on their own industrial strength and the technical assistance of their British fathers to make "dumplings" one after another. Although they

Most of the United States-class ships are not as good as the Hero-class ships, but they can't handle the large number! Moreover, building your own ships can not only boost the economy, but also cultivate technical capabilities. In the future, they will definitely build better and faster ships.

It is better to buy this armament than to build it. It will only work for a while. If you cannot take advantage of the enthusiasm you just bought, over time, the performance of the armament will deteriorate and it will not be able to compare with what others can build themselves.

Zhuge Weidao withdrew his gaze and looked at a red line on the map connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. "However, the Mexican Emperor should speed up the construction of the Nicaragua Canal. As long as this canal can be opened, the Ming Dynasty Pacific Fleet can send out real

Powerful detachment entering the Caribbean!"

"According to the current progress, it will take at least five years to build this canal, right?" Tokugawa Saiaki said, "If we can double the number of laborers, the time should be shortened to within three years, but what about these three years?"

manage?"

In fact, Tokugawa Saiaki has been eyeing this canal. Most of the laborers who built the canal are from Japan! If it had to be built by Mexican Indian workers, the canal would not be completed in another ten years.

But Agustin I also had some doubts about the arrival of a large number of Chinese and Japanese - now the California area of ​​the Mexican Empire is open to the Chinese (mainly gold diggers), Texas is open to the Japanese, and Nicaragua is here again

There are tens of thousands of Japanese laborers digging the canal. Adding the three together, there are more than 200,000 East Asians in Mexico, and they are still entering in a steady stream.

At this rate, within a few years, the number of East Asians in the Mexican Empire may exceed that of native whites (more than 2 million)!

Who has the final say on Mexico’s affairs then?

But now that the United States has taken action against Texas, Agustín I may not be able to care about the "distant worries" of the continuous influx of East Asian immigrants. After all, if he, the "American Napoleon", cannot protect hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of Texas, then it is not a bow.

It’s time to step down!

Zhuge Weidao then said: "Tokugawa Lord, these three years are very dangerous for us, but they are also opportunities! The court of Agustin I cannot lose Texas. If Texas is lost, Agustin I will belong to Mexico."

The sinner will lose his head. And if he wants to keep Texas, he can only rely on the assistance of our two countries. We just take the opportunity to send immigrants to the Mexican Empire! There are only 2 million native white people in the Mexican Empire. If our people exceed this number."

If there were 20 million native-born white people in the Mexican Empire, then there would be no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty and Japan.

But there are only 2 million native-born white people in this country. These people are the masters of the Mexican Empire!

The total population of the Ming Dynasty circle (including Japan) has exceeded 400 million. If only 0.5% immigrate to Mexico, the color of Mexico will be changed.

This prospect is so exciting!

Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qiaki again. He knew that Japan must have this intention, otherwise it would not spend so much money to send workers and samurai to Mexico.

"The key now is that you can break the American blockade, pass through the Yucatan Strait between Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula, and enter the Gulf of Mexico." Zhuge Weidao pointed to the strait between Cuba Island and the Yucatan Peninsula.

, "This strait is about 100 nautical miles wide, only four to five hundred nautical miles from New Orleans, but 16,000 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor.

The fleet from the Texas Sea Coast had to sail continuously at sea for more than two months to arrive.

And the British will definitely put pressure on the Republic of Gran Colombia and the Brazilian Empire. After entering the Atlantic Ocean, your fleet will not be able to obtain sufficient supplies and the opportunity to enter the port for maintenance... By then you will be stranded and lack ships, and the Americans will

Then you can wait for work in the Yucatan Strait."

Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qiaki and said: "The battle in the Yucatan Strait is of great importance, and the Dezhou Sea Self-Government must go all out!"

"Can we win with all our strength?" Tokugawa Qiaki was a little doubtful, "If the Mexican fleet does not dispatch...the Texas Navy may not be strong enough!"

"That's enough!" Zhuge Weidao said with certainty, "Before the Texas Sea Fleet enters the Caribbean, all carrier-based aircraft pilots will complete training. Then they will be sent by airship to Colombia...Akagi and Kaga.

Onboard are our latest carrier-based aircraft.

This is a better aircraft than the Ssangyong biplane carrier-based seaplane. They can take off and land on the air defense deck of the aircraft-carrying frigate, and can also carry 100 kilograms of bombs for small-angle dive bombing, which is enough to deal with American battleships!"
