1825 My New Daming

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

When Zhuge Weidao led his Atlantic Fleet to show off its power on the European coastline for more than half a year, it crossed the Atlantic again and returned to the island of Cuba where the Atlantic Fleet's home port was located.This island, which is incompatible with the United States of America and is destined to become a thorn in the eyes of the Americans, has kicked off a round of large-scale infrastructure construction.

Although peace seems to be coming soon, the top leaders of the Great Ming Dynasty are still quite sober at this time-the upcoming era of peace is not a real era of peace, but a long-term war preparation period that lasts for 30 to [-] years.

This is because the Great Ming Dynasty only defeated the enemy in a world war and achieved an incomplete victory, and did not really establish effective rule around the world.If it is easy to understand, it is that Ming has won prestige outside the Pacific region and made all countries feel afraid, but has not yet established an effective management system.

The national prestige that makes foreign countries fear can be achieved through war, but the effective management of the entire world must be formed through long-term management and construction.

This is like the ancient Chinese emperors who could conquer the world immediately, but they could not rule the world immediately.

A few years may be enough.However, governance will take decades, step by step for construction, operation, and infiltration.

Before the completion of Ming's global governance construction, those powerful countries that were once defeated by Ming, or just bowed to Daming due to the majesty of Ming, but were not effectively controlled by Ming, still have the opportunity to rise up and break the authority of Ming.

And Daming can't slack off, it must seize the time to complete its own global governance layout, so that it can defend its authority in the future when it encounters challenges from those powerful countries that refuse to admit defeat or control.

The first step of Ming Dynasty's global governance is of course to establish an effective global military projection capability.And the key point is to project a large amount of military power in the Atlantic region.To achieve this goal, it is necessary to establish military bases in Cuba, the Azores, and the Gulf of Texas that can station troops and fleets and deploy long-range aviation (not yet, but there will be in 20 years) .

Among them, the bases and various infrastructures on the island of Cuba where the home port of the Atlantic Fleet is located are the focus of construction!

Tens of thousands of Japanese laborers and Ming Dynasty naval engineers have successively transferred from the construction site of the Grand Canal in Nicaragua to Cuba, and started another round of large-scale construction.Military ports, airports, docks, turrets, bunkers, barracks, oil depots, ammunition depots, various repair shops, town guards, admirals, etc. in Guantanamo Bay, the road connecting Guantanamo Bay and Havana, Railways, as well as airports, small military ports, submarine bases throughout the island of Cuba, as well as the military base to defend the Cuban capital Havana and the Havana Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet, have all started construction.

In addition, in order to serve the Ming army base on the island of Cuba and the Cuban people, large military and civilian port facilities, power grids and power stations, gas pipelines, oil depots and refineries (used to store and refine Texas oil) and other facilities have also begun Planning and preparation started.

At the same time that one war preparation project after another on the island of Cuba started, the peace talks between Ming, Japan, Mexico, the Republic of Florida, the Dominion of Texas (belonging to the Mexican Empire) and the United States of America were held in Havana City, the capital of the island of Cuba. The Prince Fort base outside (now the temporary station of the Havana Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet of the Ming Navy) continues to advance.

Although the Americans had accepted the asking price proposed by Ming Dynasty in principle, they did not surrender unconditionally after all, so in terms of specific details, the missions on both sides still had to fight for every inch.

After several months of bargaining, at the end of November, a treaty that could be signed was finally placed in front of General Zhuge Weidao who had just moved into the Prince Fort base.

"The figure of 88 billion silver dollars in compensation is quite auspicious, but it is 8 billion less than our asking price at the beginning!"

Zhuge Weidao was flipping through the thick stack of treaty texts, and at the same time he was still asking questions to Lin Zexu, Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was in charge of the negotiations. This Lin Dazhong came to Cuba after attending the coronation ceremony of Zhu Xiyou and Victoria. , After talking with US Secretary of State Louis McClain in Fort Prince for almost 5 months, an agreement has finally been reached.

Hearing Zhuge Weidao's question, this Lin Dazhongtang replied with a smile: "We and Japan should take one or two dollars. And Americans pay in installments, and the unpaid part has to be calculated at 5.00% every year. interest. This 11 billion concession was given by Emperor Agustin I of Mexico. He doesn’t want to delay it any longer, and he can’t afford it anymore!”

Speaking of this, Lin Zexu's tone was already a bit dignified: "The native white people who are unstable in the Mexican Empire and supported Agustin I have suffered too much in the war. If this continues, I am afraid that the situation in Mexico will not be stable. So He would rather take less money and end the war as soon as possible. But he is not giving up the 11 billion for nothing. In exchange for him giving up most of the reparations demand, the Americans must limit the total size of their army to no more than 2 Ten thousand.

In addition, the Indian reservation west of the Mississippi River must be completely demilitarized!And the entire state of Louisiana must also be demilitarized. The US Army and Navy must not be stationed.However, the state is located west of the Mississippi River, and whites are still allowed to enter, which is not included in the Indian reservation. "

"10 troops, the West African Military Zone to the Mississippi River." Zhuge Weidao said while thinking: This condition is very familiar!I don't know if it is tailor-made for an American mustache?

"There is more!" Lin Zexu said again, "In order to further weaken the economic foundation of the United States, Augustine I also demanded that the United States completely abolish slavery and send all the black slaves who did not want to become American citizens after emancipation to Florida. Republic resettlement and payment of resettlement fees. Thus, the Republic of Florida will become a free Negro-Indian Republic, where millions of Negroes are expected to live!
This country will become another pawn of the Mexican Empire to contain the United States. As long as there is a military zone west of the Mississippi River, the Florida Black-Indian Republic and the Japanese Dominion in Texas.The Mexican Empire can complete most of the tasks of containing the United States, and the tasks of the Atlantic Fleet will be much easier in the future.

In addition, Agustin I also proposed that in the future, the Mexican Empire will focus on building the strongest standing army in the Americas, and our Atlantic Fleet will be responsible for maritime defense. What do you think? "

America's strongest army also has
"Is there still an Agustin line of defense?" Zhuge Weidao asked again.

Lin Zexu nodded with a smile: "Yes! Daozi, your news is quite good. Emperor Agustin only told me two weeks ago that he was going to build a 1200-kilometer-long road on the border between Texas and the United States." Line of defense. The line of defense will be composed of barbed wire, trenches, fixed forts, field roads and other facilities. In front of the line of defense is the African military zone west of the Mississippi River. So it is foolproof!

How about it?Can this treaty be signed? "

"Let's sign it!" Zhuge Weidao nodded, "If you sign it, the world will be peaceful for at least 20 years, at most, there will be a World War II after 20 years!"
