Chapter 520: The Epilogue——The Origin of the New World War
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty's national policy of "India first, the United States second, and Europe (unification) third", Zhuge Weidao could only sigh secretly - sigh for Zhuge Wu Zhongwang!
I also sigh for the inevitable outbreak of World War II!
It’s no wonder that King Wuzhong was angry when his portrait was taken! His descendants, including Zhuge Weidao himself, were not only a little "cowardly", but they also lived like what King Zhuge Wuzhong hated the most - they
They are a group of imperialists who want to rule the world forever and enslave all mankind!
It’s so annoying! Well, when this ambition is fully realized in the future, I must reflect on it!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao looked at Mr. Zhuge Weijiu in front of him with a somewhat complicated look.
If their generation of Zhuge was willing to fully follow the line set by their ancestor, King Zhuge Wuzhong, and regard the liberation of the nations of Asia, Africa and Latin America as Ming Dynasty's own cause, they could have taken action to dismantle the British when the French Revolution broke out.
World Empire - Of course, the goal is to help the Indian people achieve true national liberation and national independence, because the naval strength of the Ming Dynasty was limited by steam engine technology at that time, and it was not enough to completely seize it through fleet battles again and again like this war.
Maritime hegemony. The British hegemony can only be disintegrated by using limited sea power and helping the liberation of the Indian people.
But at that time, the Ming Dynasty had no motivation to do so. Instead, it took the path of colluding with the British and watching the British enslave India and destroy Indian industries (the destruction of Indian industries by the British was also beneficial to the Ming Dynasty). Even now, the Ming Dynasty has beaten the British.
After a while, he still regards a unified, strong, progressive and independent India as his biggest enemy. Now Ming would rather enslave and divide India with the British than help India liberate!
If the British Empire had been crushed during the French Revolution and later the Napoleonic Wars, it would be unlikely that the United States would have risen to its current level - "Little America" with only 13 North American territories would have been relatively easy to contain. As long as the Ming Dynasty is here
After helping the Indian people become independent, and then taking the Indian people's pursuit of national liberation and national independence as their own cause, it is entirely possible to cultivate an independent Indian country before the United States annexes the vast land of the Mississippi River Basin that nominally belongs to France.
Of course, by the way, a Greater Mexico dominated by Indo-Europeans or Indians must be fostered.
It is a pity that the Ming Empire led by Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Youde not only completed the industrial revolution during the era of the French Revolution, but also reached the advanced form of capitalism-imperialism!
An imperialist Ming Dynasty, no matter how much it "denies itself and restores etiquette", it is impossible to sincerely liberate the Indian people, the Indian people and the black uncles of Africa.
Seizing and maintaining world hegemony, and then using world hegemony to create an industrial and geographical structure that is most beneficial to them, so as to facilitate the absorption of the world's wealth and resources, is what the leaders of the imperialist Ming Dynasty will involuntarily consider. And
Zhuge Weidao, a time traveler, actually fell into the "limitations of the era". Even if he gained great power, he was unable to lead the new Ming Dynasty to a new route.
In fact, his original thoughts were no more progressive than that of "King Zhuge Wu Zhong". Instead, he lagged behind many human liberation causes, and it was never in his heart.
However, Zhuge Weidao also knew that the "imperialist confrontation plus bonus" route adopted by the Ming Dynasty would inevitably lead to an even more intense World War II.
Because the Ming Dynasty, the world hegemon, provides the other second- and third-class powers in the world with a reference development path, which is to compete for hegemony and share the wealth!
Any emerging imperialist power that becomes stronger but does not have enough colonies in the world to serve as a gathering place for raw materials and a dumping ground for goods will inevitably and can only pursue hegemony and distribution of resources.
After India was completely suppressed, the United States, which became the number one target of Ming Dynasty's suppression, seemed to have no other way out except to fight to the end.
Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington County, District of Columbia, United States of America.
On a large lawn occupied by white tombstones, dignitaries of the United States of America were bidding farewell to the president, Andrew Jackson, who had fought hard for the independence and greatness of the United States.
According to Andrew Jackson's last wish, he wanted to be buried together with his comrades, those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the independence and greatness of the United States!
Seeing Andrew Jackson's coffin being lowered little by little into the pit that had been dug by several soldiers wearing U.S. Army uniforms, the new U.S. President Martin Van Buren made the sign of a cross on his chest, and then looked around
.There are tombstones as far as the eye can see, and most of them are newly erected!
Buried under these tombstones are all American heroes who died in the Texas War and the Florida War - Mexicans, Indians, enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and American heroes!
In the wars of the past few years, at least 300,000 Americans died in Texas, Florida and the Atlantic Ocean! And in exchange for such a huge price, there are only these endless tombstones!
Due to the surrender and marriage of "British Mother", the United States is now completely isolated. The failure of the war is only a matter of time. Everyone is in a depressed mood, and Martin Van Buren, the "blaming commander", is certainly no exception. He is now
He must be a defeated president, and maybe he will become a subjugated president!
In order to avoid national subjugation, just after being sworn in, Martin Van Buren sent his Secretary of State Louis McClain to the neutral Spanish colony of Cuba, where he had secret contacts with the Consul General of the Mexican Empire, and under the mediation of the Spanish Governor of Cuba
, proposed peace to Mexico!
The U.S. suing for peace with Mexico is a shame and a disgrace!
However, if the Mexican Emperor Agustin I could agree to the United States' peace proposal, the American President Martin Van Buren would probably have to quietly open the champagne to celebrate. Because as long as Mexico is willing to spare the United States, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to continue the war and can only follow.
Mexico accepts the United States' peace proposal.
Of course, the conditions for peace must be very humiliating and tragic.
Who made the United States a defeated country?
When those U.S. Army soldiers began to shovel soil into the pit where Andrew Jackson was buried, Isaac Roosevelt, who remained as White House Secretary, quietly approached Van Buren and reported in a low voice: "Mr. President,
Mr. MacLean sent a telegram from Cuba that Emperor Agustin has agreed to peace, but he has put forward harsh conditions!"
Martin Van Buren's heart skipped a beat, "How harsh?"
"Pay compensation to Mexico and the Ming Dynasty of 10 billion silver dollars or the equivalent value of gold and silver; recognize that Texas belongs to Mexico; give up the common ownership of the Oregon area and recognize that all of Oregon belongs to the Ming Dynasty; recognize the independence of Florida; and classify all land west of the Mississippi River as
