Washington, White House.

"Mr. President, I suggest that you generally accept the peace terms proposed by Emperor Agustin I of Mexico, and use them as a basis to start further peace negotiations with the Ming Empire, because now the United Kingdom and the Indian Empire have completely surrendered to the Ming Empire, and Hanover has already surrendered. It no longer exists, the Ottoman Empire is about to perish, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries that were forced to follow Britain to declare war on Ming Dynasty also prayed to Ming Dynasty for peace. Only the United States is still not afraid of power and sacrifice, and is still fighting. However, as the United States of America The power of one country, with a population of 2000 million, is not enough to reverse the current situation. If you reject the peace proposal of Augustine I and carry the war to the end, I am afraid that the vitality of the United States will be exhausted, and the United States will lose its future revival possible"

Talking while weeping was a thin figure, slender face, pale complexion, sharp nose bridge, and a long nose that stood out very prominently on the face. He was about 60 years old and wore the uniform of an army general.

The man's name was William Henry Harrison, and he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army by Martin Van Buren.In addition, he is also the leader of the "Virginia Dynasty", the largest gang of politicians and military officers in the United States today. His father was the founding father of the United States, one of the signers of the "Declaration of Independence", and Benjamin Harrison, who once served as the governor of Virginia.And he himself, like the deceased President Jackson, was an outstanding American soldier and a hero of the Second War of Independence. He once served as the commander of the Combined Army in the Northwest Territories, defeated the British army in the Battle of the Thames and cooperated with the British army. Indians Of course, Harrison, who has long served in military and political positions in the Northwest of the United States, inevitably has Indian blood on his hands!

Such a prominent figure who was able to unite the members of the "Dynasty of Virginia" and had military leadership was already a Whig senator before the war broke out, and he was qualified to challenge the US President.

After the war broke out, the veteran American hero also abandoned partisanship, resigned as a senator, resolutely re-enlisted, served as the commander of the elite Virginia Corps, and led the troops to participate in three Texas campaigns.Despite repeated defeats, it is still widely acclaimed.After Martin Van Buren became president, he was promoted to chief of staff of the army.However, in the face of a situation where the general situation is over, he, the chief of staff, has been powerless to recover. Oh, or to put it another way, the purpose of President Martin Van Buren's appointment of him as the chief of staff of the army is to use his reputation to clean up the current mess.

In the War Room of the White House, he is only in his early 50s this year, but it looks as if President Martin Van Buren, who is in his 60s, is sitting sluggishly on the main seat.After listening to Admiral Harrison's speech, he slowly shifted his gaze to Chief of Naval Operations Matthew Perry.

Matthew Perry also had tears in his eyes, and he was already sobbing. Seeing the president's dull eyes, he had no choice but to stand up slowly, gave a military salute, and began to express his position: "Mr. President, the navy of the United States of America is no longer capable of challenging the Great Atlantic Ocean." The sea power of the fleet Although the navy still has many new battleships and aircraft carriers, most of the outstanding naval officers and soldiers were killed in the two Atlantic naval battles, and the newly recruited naval officers and soldiers lack training, and even the daily maintenance of warships is difficult. Completed, let alone a decisive battle at sea. Moreover, the morale of the navy is low, and the general fear of the enemy and the cowardly battle are humming"

Speaking of "fearing the enemy and fighting cowardly", Matthew Perry cried, crying with guilt!
Because he is also one of the officers and soldiers of the U.S. Navy who "fears the enemy and fights bravely." .

Not even the slightest possibility!
This is so hopeless!Now the situation of the US Navy is ten times worse than that of the Army!The Army was just unable to break through the defenses of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in Texas, and it was also unable to destroy the Indian-black coalition forces entrenched in the Florida swamps.But with as many as 150 million people, it can still be held. After all, the total number of native whites in Mexico is only 200 million. It is already the limit for them to use 20 troops to compete with the Americans.In the bloody tug-of-war in Texas, the casualties of the Mexican army were also quite serious. If the losses before and after are added together, there are 10 people!
This is more than half of the casualties!Huge casualties also put Agustin I under great pressure. According to front-line reports, in recent months, the proportion of mixed-race Indians in the Mexican army has become higher and higher. With the increase in the number of mixed-race Indians Inevitably, the combat effectiveness of the Mexican army has also declined significantly.

After all, the education received by the mixed-race Indians in Mexico cannot be compared with that of native whites, and their sense of belonging is also relatively poor. They do not regard the Mexican Empire as a motherland that must be defended to the death.

If the United States can continue to consume in Texas, Mexicans, and Japanese expatriates, and sacrifice another 30 to [-] casualties, it will definitely be able to drain the blood of native white Mexicans and win the victory!
So the U.S. Army is admitting defeat now, and the Navy is really discouraged, and really has no strength to fight again!
Martin Van Buren sighed, and said: "Since the navy and the army agree that there is no hope of victory in continuing the war, then I will instruct Secretary of State McLean to formally seek peace with the representative of the Emperor of Mexico in Havana and ask Agu Sting I acted as an intermediary to seek peace from Ming Dynasty." As he spoke, Martin Van Buren's tears rolled down, "In addition to the amount of compensation, the US government will agree to other conditions proposed by Agustin I! "

100 billion silver dollars or the equivalent in gold and silver is too much for the United States today!
If this amount of compensation is to be paid, I am afraid that it will cause great difficulties to the American economy after the war. And the economic difficulties of the United States will discourage European immigrants who pursue the "American Dream", and even cause a large amount of capital in the United States. outflow, thereby exacerbating the postwar recession of the United States.

Of course, this reparation is not intended to really kill the United States.Because the United States is also rich in oil resources and has vast land to develop agriculture.As long as the Americans are willing to work hard, 100 billion silver dollars can still be earned.It's just that the money has been spent on compensation, and the industrialization of the United States may have to slow down.Unless the Americans can also learn the trick of "997 work hard".
"Nikolai Pavlovich, good news! Good news! The Americans have formally asked us for peace, and in principle agreed to all the conditions except the compensation of 100 billion silver dollars! Hahaha. His Majesty the Emperor, this But good news worth a drink!"

When Zhuge Weidao heard the good news of the United States seeking peace, he was leading the main force of the Atlantic Fleet to visit Petersburg—the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Dynasty was not used for war at all, but was used to show off its force to the countries along the Atlantic coast!
So after attending the coronation ceremony of Zhu Xijun and Victoria, Zhuge Weidao led the fleet to continue eastward, visiting Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, and now Petersburg, where he was given his wife-in-law, Luo Sha Imperial Emperor Nicholas I's hospitality, was also invited to stay in the Winter Palace.And on the night of entering the Winter Palace, Zhuge Weidao learned the good news that the United States was suing for peace. The good news that the United States "kneeled" must of course be shared with the Rakshasa Emperor at the first time!
