Chapter 345 The Second Battlefield—The battleship of the United States is about to set sail! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"You, what did you say?" The First Sea Lord Sir Thomas Trowbridge stood up excitedly, looked at Huck and shouted: "Huck, say it again!"

His excitement is certainly understandable.

The Japanese immigrants in Texas were all sent by Ming Dynasty. The purpose was to help the Mexican Empire to defend the border and keep the treasure land of Texas. advances, threatening Ming's expansion on the west coast of North America.

The Americans in Texas are of course supported by the US government.The purpose, of course, is to map the land of Texas.Although the United States has already occupied several million square kilometers of fertile land, with a population of only 2000 million, it can't use that much at all, and large tracts of fertile land in the country are all deserted.But who doesn't like good land?Moreover, Texas is on the lips of the United States, and it also belongs to Mexico, the potential opponent of the United States-Mexico is also a big country!The territorial area is also several million square kilometers larger, but the white skin is a little less.

But the small population now does not mean that it will not grow in the future!

As long as the Mexican Empire has enough good land, for example, Texas is a very good and very large land, which is flat, fertile, abundant in rainfall, warm in climate, and has a long coastline and inland rivers.This piece of land should be placed in Europe, and it can accommodate the entire population of France!If placed in East Asia, two Japanese populations can live there.

If the Americans don't take Texas over now, there will be millions of immigrants from East Asia or Europe in the future, and Mexico will become stronger!
So the current conflict in Texas is actually the fuse of the battle between the two American countries, the United States and Mexico.

And Daming is also an American country——Daming also occupies a large territory in the northwest corner of America, although most of that territory has a cold climate, and the livable part is very small, so the population is not large.But Daming has always attached great importance to it, and is still seeking to expand to Oregon and California.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ming to sit back and watch the United States grow steadily, swallow all the good land in Mexico, and finally threaten its own rule on the west coast of North America.Therefore, once the conflict in Texas escalated, Ming would definitely be involved.

This matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it is the second battlefield of the West against Ming Dynasty!
Huck also knew the significance of this matter, so he smiled and said to the First Sea Lord: "Sir, the thing is like this. With the support of Ming Dynasty and Mexico, a large number of Japanese immigrants have moved into Texas in the past two years. The number exceeded [-]. This made the white immigrants from the United States into Texas feel dangerous, and the Mexican government was afraid of the large number of American immigrants entering Texas. Last year, it issued a decree prohibiting American immigrants from entering Texas. This made Texas Americans Feeling angry, at the end of last year, Austin and Houston, the leaders of American immigrants in Texas, united with the local Indians and issued a warning to the Japanese immigrants, telling them to get out of Texas immediately. But they were rejected by the Japanese immigrants, so Sam Houston He led a white-Indian coalition army of thousands of people to march towards the Japanese-inhabited city of Texas. As a result, he was ambushed under the city of Texas and suffered heavy casualties! Now the U.S. government is ready to intervene under the pretext of killing the expatriates and ask us for help .”

"Prime Minister," Foreign Secretary Robert Peel immediately gave an opinion, "The responsibility for this matter lies entirely with the Mexican authorities. They colluded with the Ming Empire and Japan to try to sell out Texas. They also closed the border and prohibited American nationals from entering. This is against the law." The aggression of the United States and the entire Western world cannot be allowed! So we should firmly support the United States!"

The foreign secretary of the British Empire is really good!The Mexican authorities banned Americans from entering Texas because they were afraid that they would fight for independence in Texas. At the same time, the threat of introducing some Japanese immigrants to fight against the Americans turned into an invasion of the United States and the entire West. He co-authored the Mexican Empire and gave Texas away for nothing. America is right.

Hearing this nonsense, the Duke of Wellington frowned, "The Emperor Agustin seems to have ordered two sets of 'Heroes, Heroes, and Guards Package' three years ago. Are they all in stock now?"

"It was here last year," said Viscount Palmerston, Secretary of the Navy, with a smile, "otherwise Emperor Agustin would not have dared to ban Americans from entering the country illegally!"

The Duke of Wellington snapped his fingers and said, "If I remember correctly, the two packages are two Hero-class, two Hero-class, four Warrior-class, and six Guard-class ships, a total of 14 cutting-edge ships, right? In addition, the one in South America The Federation of Gran Colombia and the Mexican Empire also have an alliance? Can the navies of these two countries be dealt with by the U.S. Navy alone?"

"Yes!" Viscount Palmerston said, "With our help, the Americans also built a United States-class battleship. This class of battleship is actually a weakened version of the Victory-class. The firepower and armor are exactly the same as the Victory-class, but the speed is slower. 3 knots, and only 18 knots without forced ventilation. But the United States already has 5 completed United States-class ships, which are enough to deal with the Mexican emperor's 2 hero-class ships and 2 hero-class ships. As for Gran Colombia since Bolivar's death After that, the country lost its dream, and there were only a lot of people fighting for power and profit, and it split up at some point. So Gran Colombia will not fight against the United States with Mexico at all, they will only remain neutral."

"Okay!" The Duke of Wellington nodded and said with a smile, "This way the Americans will be able to win with confidence. As long as the Americans defeat the Mexicans, Da Ming will definitely get involved! The North American battlefield is too far away from Da Ming's mainland, so Da Ming forcibly intervened." The price must be very high! If they do not intervene, then after the Americans defeat Mexico, they will swallow Texas, California and Oregon together, and become an intercontinental country with two oceans, and share the Pacific Ocean with Ming Dynasty. Presumably this is unacceptable to Daming!
So Ming—the United States must have a war! "

He glanced at both sides of the conference table, seeing a gloating face in his eyes, "Gentlemen, although the British Empire is facing unprecedented difficulties, we should still express our firm support to the United States! I hope the cabinet will All members can support my decision!"

In Beijing, the Naval Air Force is directly under Xishan Airport.

A Feilong III passenger airship descended slowly, and then the hatch of the airship was opened, and the gangway was lowered. Zhuge Weidao and his secretary and adjutant Yu Ziqi got out of the airship cabin one after the other.

The one who greeted Zhuge Weidao at the airport was his original butler. Recently, with the support of Zhuge Weidao and the promotion of his uncle Yu Quan, Dao Yude was elected as a deliberative official. There are several political parties controlled by the aristocratic and noble families.Among them, the Zhuge family, the Yu family, the Guo family, the Zhendong Wang Zhang family and other big families jointly controlled the political party called the Fair Party!
It's fair to hear the name!

This fair party was founded by King Zhuge Wuzhong. It has always been the purpose of maintaining the "ancestral system" of equal land, limited land, and equality. It is the largest party in the political conference.With the support of this fair party, when Zhuge Weidao quits being a general, he can completely retire and become a civilian minister (the land and navy ministers are active officers), and even become the prime minister!

When Zhuge Weidao saw Yu De coming to pick him up, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Xiaoqian, I heard that you have been elected as a political official, and now the future looks bright!"

"Isn't it all thanks to you?" Yu De also cupped his hands, "Without you taking me to the Kingdom of Jin to gild, I would not have been famous for my writing, and I would not have had such a reputation for running a newspaper later. , My uncle wants to promote me, but no one else will recognize him!"

Zhuge Weidao nodded: "We're all from our own people. By the way, why don't you come to the airport today? Isn't there a meeting for the Political Council?"

Yu De said: "Daozi, don't you know? Something happened in Texas! Maybe we are going to fight the United States again. This is a two-front war!"
