1825 My New Daming

1828 9 Month 8 Day.

London, 10 Downing Street.

Today, the atmosphere in the prime minister's meeting room is rare and relaxed.Because just an hour ago, the House of Commons of the British Parliament finally passed a package of 120 million tons of shipbuilding and 120 warship upgrades called the "Navy Enhancement Act".

对，就是120万吨价值10亿英镑的1000万吨造舰计划是无论如何都不可能被英国议会批准的。所以威灵顿公爵和罗伯特.皮尔、巴麦尊子爵、纳尔逊伯爵等人仔细研究后，就将1000万吨造舰计划缩减为120万吨造舰计划。整整砍掉了88%之多！

不过这并不意味着威灵顿公爵等人已经放弃了疯狂的海军扩张计划，而是改用一个3年120万吨新造和120艘改建的计划，替代了原本的10——15年造1000万吨的计划。3年之后还可以再追加新的造船计划嘛！
根据这个3年120万吨计划，英国议会下院必须要在1828、1829、1830年这三个财政年度（其中1828年财年只剩下几个月了）为海军造舰计划分别拨款500万、600万、600万.也就是总共1700万巨款！
The reason why it costs so much is because the 120-ship transformation and upgrading plan is also quite expensive outside of the 120 million-ton new ship plan.

However, this large plan of 120 million tons plus 120 ships is just a naval expansion plan floating on the water, and there is an undisclosed Indian Empire Navy expansion plan under the water.

The current Indian Empire is a bit like a small British treasury. This country is nominally independent, and its budget naturally does not need to be reviewed by the British Parliament, or even announced.At the same time, the internal affairs, diplomacy, military, and finances of the Indian Empire were all controlled by the British royal family and the British government.

In other words, through the mastery of the Indian Empire, the royal family and the government have an unimaginably large amount of resources that are not monitored or even ignored.

Using this resource, the Royal Navy of the British Empire actually has a secret shipbuilding plan of 5 million tons for 150 years!

Of course, this secret is only for the British Parliament, and the intelligence agency of Ming Dynasty is not blind.And those members of the House of Commons of the British Parliament have no legal control over the Indian Empire, so naturally they can only close their eyes and pretend that this five-year 5 million-ton shipbuilding plan does not exist.

And at the same time when the two shipbuilding plans, one bright and one dark, were passed.The Royal Navy has finally finalized the capital ship plan they need in the next 3-5 years.There is a "hero ship" (the current hero ship is equivalent to the historical dreadnought ship, which is already a symbol) Victory class, a "former hero ship" Indomitable class, and a heavy artillery cruiser Courage class.

In addition, the Indian Empire will allocate a further £1500 million to build 50 Kelly III airships, 50 fast merchant ships that can be converted into airship mother ships, and train and equip a guided glider bomber force.

If all the above plans are successfully completed, Earl Nelson estimates that the British Empire (Indian Empire) can maintain the initiative for at least two years after the start of the future war.

If the British Empire can make good use of these two years, on the one hand, it will establish a large-scale mine blockade in the Straits of Malacca, Sunda Strait, Lombok Strait, and the waters north of Java Island; Provoking a war between the Ming Dynasty, the Mexican coalition forces and the United States will have a great chance of winning for the British Empire.

"As long as we can blockade the Strait of Malacca, the Strait of Sunda, the Strait of Lombok and the waters north of Java Island, and take a protracted war in Australia, then we will at least be invincible. If the war between the United States and Mexico can drag Ming Go into the water, let Ming fight a large-scale and long war in North America far away from their native land, then the British Empire will be undefeated!"

In the conference room, the war plan that the Duke of Wellington said was researched by him and Nelson together. Of course, it is more reliable. The only problem seems to be how to push the United States and Mexico into the fire pit?

Texas is certainly a trigger, but the United States may also give up its efforts to march to Texas and even the western part of North America because Ming Dynasty is too powerful.

In this way, Mexico became a buffer country between Ming Dynasty and the United States.

Maybe the war will not break out between Ming Dynasty and the United States...

When the Duke of Wellington was about to discuss with his cabinet members how to cheat the United States, the cabinet secretary Huck suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room, and he still had a telegram he had just received in his hand.

Harker said: "Mr. Prime Minister, there seems to be a revolution in the Kingdom of Hawaii!"

"What?" The Duke of Wellington was taken aback. "Where did the revolution happen?"

"Kingdom of Hawaii!" Huck said, "The telegram from Honolulu Island said that the republicans of the Kingdom of Hawaii launched an uprising in the capital Honolulu a few days ago to overthrow the feudal dynasty...and it succeeded!"

"What? How could such a thing happen in the Kingdom of Hawaii?"

The Duke of Wellington could hardly believe his ears.

It’s nothing more than a progressive thing like a republican revolution that happened in France and Rakshasa... A country like Hawaii is also worthy of a republican revolution?
"Huck, is there something wrong?" asked the Duke of Wellington. "Is it really Hawaii, a country where the king can't even wear clothes? Those primitive people are also republic now?"

"Well, that's right." Huck said and handed the telegram to the Duke of Wellington, "Duke, read it for yourself, according to the report from our embassy in Hawaii... the revolution has been successful, Kami Kami Under the protection of the royal guards, the king and queen mother of the Ha dynasty escaped from the palace and boarded the Ming warship that was visiting there..."

"Wait." The Duke of Wellington immediately knew something was wrong, "Boarded the Ming warship?"

"Yes."

"Let me see..." The Duke of Wellington took the telegram and read it carefully, then snorted coldly, "There is no doubt that this is not a republican revolution at all, but the outrageous invasion of the Kingdom of Hawaii by the Ming Empire.

This is a serious breach of the international order!And it threatens the security of all American countries, including the United States of America! "

"Prime Minister," Viscount Palmerston, the Minister of the Navy, felt a little strange, "How do you know that the Republican Revolution in Hawaii was actually an invasion of the Ming Empire?"

The Duke of Wellington glanced at him, "Viscount, I'm actually not sure. But, so what? If there must be a villain in this matter, it must be Daming. Because we didn't plan this A revolution . . . I'm sure of that."

The Duke of Wellington also said: "For a long time, the Ming Empire has maintained a good image of non-aggression and non-expansion.If the Americans think so, maybe Ming and the United States can really coexist in North America. "

Robert Peel added: "Viscount, we now very much need Da Ming to play the role of an aggressor... This will make it difficult for Da Ming to mediate the conflict between Mexico and the United States.

The United States will also be very nervous about the large number of Japanese immigrants arriving in Texas. "

Prime Minister Wellington nodded, "Robert is right...and those Americans will not believe that there will be a revolution in the Kingdom of Hawaii! They are not that stupid.

They must be full of vigilance against the Ming Empire now.America will be our friend as long as we offer the right terms. "

"Prime Minister," Robert Peel said, "please allow me to leave for the United States immediately to meet President Adams Jr."

"Okay!" Duke Wellington said, "However, it's not enough just to visit the current President of the United States, Adams Jr.... You must also go to Virginia to meet former President Monroe!

He was the leader of the Virginia dynasty and was still a heavyweight.Moreover, he has always felt very disgusted with the behavior of some external forces who always try to interfere and control America! "
