Chapter 1626 North America cannot be unified
"Our naval fleet met the Global Expedition Fleet in the Caribbean Sea. They should have arrived in New England by now. They also specially reported Ling'er's condition. He looks very healthy."

Sophia talked to him about it over lunch after being briefed by naval officers returning from the Caribbean.

A group of them sat at the rectangular dining table in the palace, and all of them used knives and forks as the Romans did.

This was nothing to Chu Yun, but his only daughter, Chu Xueer, found it very difficult to use a knife and fork. Da Yuer helped her cut some vegetables and meat into pieces with a knife, and then put them on the plate and handed them to Chu Yun. she.

"Mother, what is that, I want to drink it too." Chu Xueer pointed to the red wine glass on the dining table.

"You can't be too young, this is what adults drink." Da Yu'er said.

At the same time, the little prince Henry, who was also Chu Zixin, was on the table. He was younger than Chu Xueer, sitting on a raised chair.

If Chu Lingyun was present, then Chu Yun's three children would be all together, and of course Xiao Xiu'er was pregnant, whether it was a boy or a girl.

"New England? Then they will most likely spend the winter there." Chu Yun knew that New England was in North America, which was later the northeastern region of the United States.

"If it was 20 years ago, New England's living environment still had problems, but now New England has several stable colonies, and the colonial government is maintaining order. Sir Pennington personally wrote a letter of introduction, the colonies People treat them with the best meals," said Sofia.

"If I remember correctly, the Dutch, French and Spaniards are all in North America, competing with you," Chu Yun said.

"Yes, the west of New England is New Netherland, the south is New Spain, and the northwest is New France. It is mainly our four kingdoms that compete." Sophia said.

"More than that, we have actually established a colony in western North America." Chu Yun said.

The colony of San Francisco was established a long time ago, and now a large number of miners are mining gold locally to fill the local gold reserves, forming a trans-Pacific route with Edo and Yokohama.

In other words, there are currently five forces carving up North America.

"You want to occupy North America?" Sophia wanted to know Chu Yun's strategy, and then adjust her own strategy.

To be honest, the decision of two people at the dinner table can even divide the world like the Spaniards and Portuguese.

"I only want the western part of North America, not a complete North America." Chu Yun said.

"Why? Now all the kingdoms are trying to expand their colonies. Isn't the more colonies the better?" Sophia asked suspiciously.

"North America is facing the sea on both sides, between the east and the west, it is really easy to become a new power independently. Especially if a new country appears in North America, it will be a huge disaster for both the east and the west. So I just want to On the west coast of North America, the local area needs to be extremely dependent on our homeland, and there are enemies in the east, so we can try our best to ensure that they will not go out independently." Chu Yun said.

Maybe people in this era may not foresee that the colonies will have independence one day, even their own people will betray their own people, the sun never sets when the empire England was strong, the English in the North American colonies betrayed the English, established the United States, and opposed Come and be master of the English.

It is easy for Chu Yun to occupy the entire Americas, but he does not want a complete North America. In that case, China will easily fall into division and form two great empires, East Asia and North America, to fight each other across the Pacific Ocean. Can't really imagine what it's going to be like.

If North America is divided into several countries, the possibility of an empire stronger than East Asia will decrease, and the West Coast will at least need to rely on local power.

Chu Yun's main strategy is to maintain the unity of the country as much as possible, and then act as a crap around the world to break up those unified empires into small countries.

"Ling'er, I haven't seen him for a few years. He should have grown a lot taller now, right?" Sophia is not very interested in expanding her territory, she just wants to use the development of the colony to let England catch up with China a little bit. She quickly shifted the topic to Ling'er.

"Growing taller means growing taller, but I, like adults, want to let him get rid of his timidity and become braver by taking this opportunity of sailing around the world. After all, we are all professional soldiers, and we don't want Ling'er to have rouge." breath," Ella replied.

"Is it too risky for such a young child to go to sea at the age of 10? If it were me, I would not dare to let Xin'er go to sea at such an age, at least 14 years old." Sophia said.

"How can he grow up without going through wind and rain, this round-the-world voyage will probably be unforgettable for him," Chu Yun said.

Being able to experience a dangerous and long voyage around the world as a child is not an experience that ordinary people can have.

"After that, I will let Xiner train in the Royal Army and the Royal Navy for two years each, until he is 16 years old." Sophia said.

Chu Zixin, also known as the little prince Henry, has no idea that his mother, the Queen of the United Kingdom, will experience four years of painful military training because of Chu Yun's influence.

"I've already spoken to the Royal Navy and asked them to propose to Parliament to participate in operations in the Mediterranean," Sophia said.

"Will those in the English Parliament pass this bill?"

"It should be. When my brother was there, the Royal Navy was highly motivated to participate in the war because they won a lot of spoils in the First Mediterranean War. The Ottoman Empire expelled our English ambassador after the First Mediterranean War. Our Levant companies have suffered heavy losses by banning our Mediterranean merchants from doing business there. If there is any chance of defeating the Ottoman Empire and resuming our trade with the Levant region, Congress should support this action."

"It appears that your Congress is very business-oriented."

Chu Yun found that the parliaments of the English, Venetians, and Dutch all value money more, and the purpose of war is mostly for commercial services.

"Gold coins are the most wonderful thing in this world to them, even surpassing gods." Sophia said.

Chu Yun, Sophia, Ella, Da Yuer and others were in the dining room. Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Chenggong's circumnavigation fleet arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts colony in New England, where they encountered severe winter and heavy snow.
