Opening game, American Tycoon

Almost every day, Mexicans talk with gusto about the war in the North.

What is schadenfreude, it is perfectly appropriate to use it on Mexicans. For this country, which was robbed of almost half of its land by the United States half a century ago, it is absolutely correct to use schadenfreude.

"Fort Grant has fallen!"

Although this news was not like a thunderbolt, when it reached Mexico, it also set off a wave of waves in Mexico—Mexicans were all talking excitedly about when the Americans would fail.

When will California be occupied by the Empire?

When will the empire hit the central region...

When Mexicans are talking about these topics, naturally they are also talking about a topic there-when will Mexico go to war with the United States.

"It will be too late if we don't start the war!"

In almost all newspapers in Mexico, a similar tone is being used to advocate the declaration of war on the United States.Why are Mexicans so anxious?
Because after the fall of Fort Grant, the whole of California opened its doors to the empire, and California... that was cut from Mexico!

If war is not declared, California will belong to Ming Dynasty!

Mexicans are in a hurry!

Distraught in the face of imperial victory, Mexicans even ran near the U.S. embassy and shot -- several of the embassy's windows were shattered.In this regard, there was cheering in the newspapers, and some even declared that this was the gunfire of revenge.

All forces seemed to be pushing Mexico toward war.

Although the situation is turbulent, it does not hinder.As the director of the Land Surveying Committee, Zhu Youyang once again set foot on the train to other provinces. When the train left the station, Zhu Youyang read the documents while listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"So, the people who shot at the embassy really came from somewhere?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we have enough evidence to prove that at least three local nobles were involved in this matter."

Standing in front of His Highness, Dias said respectfully, he was born in the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, not only the head of the investigation team of the committee, but also the intelligence and security chief of His Highness.

"It seems that they are thinking about people wholeheartedly to promote the declaration of war on the United States."

"Yes, the newspapers are advocating the declaration of war against the United States. In addition to hatred, there is also the support of the local nobles. Now members of Congress are also inclined to support the declaration of war."

Dias' answer made Zhu Youyang frown into a ball.

"It seems that the land reform must be accelerated."

Why did the local nobles support the declaration of war?
It is because the land reform centered on land surveying seriously harmed their interests that they advocated war, hoping to use war to force the high-level empire to abandon land reform.

But this time, they obviously miscalculated.

Because the land reform is related to the future of the Mexican Empire, it is also related to the future of Zhu Youyang. In any case, he will not stop this work.

"What about the United States? Have they accepted the official explanation?"

"Your Highness, just as you said, the Americans have no reason not to accept it. It is better for nearby residents to shoot themselves off than to be attacked."

What is cheating?
This is deception. In order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, the United States accepted Mexico's explanation, which was an accident.

"Although the United States does not want to see Mexico declare war on it, Your Highness, intelligence from the Imperial Investigation Department shows that the Americans seem to intend to harm you."

Dias' report made Zhu Youyang's eyes light up.

"So, they are planning to act?"

"Your Highness, based on the information we have so far, they will launch an assassination operation against you to provoke civil strife."

Listening to Dias' report, a smile appeared on Zhu Youyang's handsome face.

"It's a good thing that someone will give you a pillow when you're really sleepy!"

"Your Highness?"

"This is double happiness!" Zhu Youyang sneered when he raised his head and glanced at Dias.

"In the past few years, haven't we been looking for excuses to get rid of those guys? Now, with this excuse, we can not only get rid of those local power factions, but also nationalize all their land!"

For a long time, Zhu Youyang has been patiently waiting for the opportunity. Compared with those people, he has too many bargaining chips in his hand-it is better to let them rebel than to do it first.

why?
This is a conspiracy!

It's a pity that those local powerful factions and local nobles didn't dare at all, because they were afraid of the Ming Empire behind Zhu Youyang.

Well now, the Americans are in charge for them.

While sneering, Zhu Youyang said.

"What is Double Happiness? Isn't this Double Happiness? Not only can we solve the land issue once and for all, but we also have a reason to attack them - not just assassinate, but colluding with the Americans to assassinate and betray Mexico's interests!"

What a moral high ground!This is it!
No matter how the official strikes in the future, it has full legal principles!Not only is the reason legal, but even with the next step, declaring war on the United States is a matter of course.

"When and where are they going to do it?"

After knowing the time and place, Zhu Youyang said sarcastically.

"These Yankees...they are so rough even in framing, so they can't be more secretive and careful, so that people can't find fault."

The reason why he sighed so much was because the American way of doing things was simply asshole, except that he didn't tell others directly-someone was framing it.

"Their methods are indeed rough, but Your Highness, no matter how rough the method is, it is always a real incident. Isn't it just such an incident that we need, and then find an excuse?"

Dias' answer made Zhu Youyang nod and said.

"Indeed, all we need is an excuse, as long as there is an excuse!"

With an excuse, you can take the opportunity to completely solve the local problems and solve Mexico's internal problems once and for all.

"However, Your Highness, this matter is not under our control. I am worried whether it will bring any risk to Your Highness. After all..."

After a pause, looking at His Highness, Dias said seriously.

"Your Highness's golden body cannot be lost, so I thought I could take this opportunity to let our people implement the plan!"

"It's no big deal to make some sacrifices to achieve a goal!"

Zhu Youyang waved his hand and said.

"This is the opportunity we've been waiting for. The risk is worth taking. Let them do it. It's safer!"
