Chapter 1087 Each has a ghost (first update, please subscribe)
The expansion of the Ming Empire is barbaric!
This is not just Washington, but also London, or in other words, the hats that the Anglo-Saxons put on the Ming Empire.

In fact, this is the old Anglo-Saxon problem - the old double standard dog.

In the eyes of these Anglo-Saxons, their expansion has never been expansion, even if it is expansion, it is the conquest of barbarism by civilization.

On Daming's side, it would be a barbaric atrocity.

"Extremely firm response?"

Stephen Luce asked.

"That's war!"

Whether it is a response at all costs or an extremely determined response, it is actually war.

"London supports any of our actions in Havana, even if it is a war of last resort! London believes that Ming's expansion in the Caribbean is absolutely unacceptable."

After the "Havana incident", the United States responded very quickly. While dispatching the fleet, they also had secret contact with the United Kingdom. It was not until recently that a consensus was reached. This is also the purpose of Johnson's trip.

Facing the sudden change of the special envoy, Stephen Luce, the admiral, laughed.

"War is the last option!"

Of course, it is even more impossible for Britain, as the number one overlord in the world, to stay out of the matter. After all, it is now known as "British rule the world".

Very simple!

"It's similar to what my father said. He said first, be full of hatred for the British, and second, don't trust the British."

"Now the United States of America and human civilization are defended by you and your fleet, but the war... Maybe the British are our allies, but my father once warned me, the first is not to trust the British, and the second is still Don't trust the British, don't believe a single punctuation mark in what they say!"

It has to be said that the politicians of the British Empire were quite far-sighted. They were good at offshore balance, and they used diplomacy again and again to step down seemingly powerful opponents one by one, and even stepped on their bones to rise.

"So? Unless the British fire first, otherwise, at all costs, it is to stay in the stage of indirect fire. Generally speaking, if the Ming Empire sends their people ashore, then we will also go ashore,"

Johnson pointed to Havana outside the porthole, and said.

In the past ten years, they have just repeated the old tricks.

After cutting off one end with a cigar tongs, Goyle lit his cigar, looking a little smug.

Prime Minister Gladstone said directly.

"Just fighting is not enough!"

"What if they shoot Havana?"

"As far as the British Empire is concerned, it is impossible for us to devote our power to the Americas to prevent the expansion of the Ming Empire there, but the United States, the United States is different. The Americans have incomprehensible ambitions for the entire American continent. The expansion not only made them feel threatened, but more importantly, South America, which they regarded as imprisoned, gradually became the land of the Ming Empire, which is the root cause of the confrontation between the two countries!"

Johnson shook his head.

Why did their parents say that?

Johnson smiled and said in a confident tone.

"Haha, Washington has once again increased its troops to Havana. No matter what the outcome of this conflict is, one thing is certain is that the conflict between Washington and China will become irreparable. The relationship between the United States of America and the Ming Empire The confrontation between them will lead to a real confrontation!"

"Haha, shoot Havana..."

"What we need is a war between them, just like Paraguay did against Brazil and Argentina, a life-and-death war, and if that kind of war breaks out between them, then it is undoubtedly a double blessing for the United Kingdom- —The war between them will inevitably severely damage the economies of the two countries, making them unable to pose a threat to the British Empire! This is why we support the United States."

Because their parents, at most, their grandfathers, all fought against the British back then.Now it is just forced to mess with Britain.But they will never take millet from the fire for Britain.

"The most important thing is hostility. The "Los Angeles Incident" in 1871 caused the United States to suffer unprecedented humiliation. However, the hostility between the two countries is on the rise, and the "Cuban Crisis" will once again stimulate Americans to the Ming Empire. Hostility, and this kind of hostility is the fundamental prerequisite for the two countries to confront each other in an all-round way, and even go to war!"

……

Almost all the words are telling them - Britain will definitely not stand by the United States so easily, and even go to war with Ming Dynasty.

As for Downing Street, of course it is no exception. After learning that the "Iowa" had arrived in Havana, Prime Minister Gladstone even whistled a little excitedly. Then he took out a cigar from the cigar case and handed it To Foreign Secretary Glanville George Leveson-Gore.

"This is not only Havana, but also the first place where European civilization landed in the New World. Now we must guard this place, General. If the conspiracy of the Ming people is allowed to succeed, then their next target will definitely be the United States, General..."

"Now, Admiral you lead the most powerful fleet in history, we need to let them see our unrelenting determination..."

Taking his eyes back from Havana, Johnson said very seriously.

"This is why I came here! Your Excellency, General..."

The one who knows oneself best is always himself. These Anglo-Saxons in the United States really know their British compatriots too well, and understand every word in their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys.

Even those who are playing chess in Hyde Park will discuss Havana and discuss the war that may break out at any time.

Taking the Cuban cigar handed over by the prime minister, Gore smiled.

Even in London, thousands of miles away, people are talking about the "Havana incident" and talking about this conflict that may change the destiny of many countries.

What is certain is that on this September of 1882, Havana was at the center of a storm, a landscape in which hardly any country could remain untouched.

"Yes, Your Excellency, everything is now as we expected. The Ming Empire's ambitions for Cuba have made the United States feel threatened in the future. Although it is unlikely that this crisis will turn into a war, one thing is certain. Yes, the United States feels directly about the threat of Ming Dynasty. The hostility generated by this threat will further affect the future relationship between the two countries. Hawaii and Cuba, this kind of hostility is brewing in the hearts of Americans little by little, accumulating Go. Your Excellency..."

Taking a puff on his cigar, Goyle said.

"What we need now is not only to tell the Americans that the British Empire is on their side, but also to tell the Ming Empire that the British are powerless to stop their expansion, um...speak the hardest and be the softest The thing, what we need is to use strong words and weak actions to lure Daming to expand further, and every expansion they make will aggravate the uneasiness of the Americans, and when this uneasiness reaches its peak..."

Smoking a cigar, Goyle stopped talking, while Gladstone was leaning on the soft chair, with a smile on his face, quietly looking into the distance...
