1825 My New Daming

The words of Robert Peel and Viscount Palmerston sounded like they were trying to sow discord between Ming and the United States, but US President Adams Jr. and Secretary of State Henry Clay knew that the black-bellied and cruel Father English was not talking nonsense this time.

Just look at the map of North America. With the continuous westward expansion of the United States in the past few decades, this country and the Ming Empire occupying the northwest corner of North America are about to collide!

And the Ming Empire's support for the Mexican Empire and Simon Bolivar, as well as the territorial claim of the Ming Dynasty to the Pacific Ocean in the west of the Oregon region, and their crazy investment, gold mining, Immigration, construction, etc., all greatly intensified the possibility of a fierce conflict between Ming and the United States.

According to the information held by the "White House", in 1827 alone, gold diggers from the Ming Dynasty unearthed silver worth 1000 million silver dollars in California.With the gradual emergence of the wealth effect of California’s Jinshan, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty are flooding into California. These immigrants also brought a lot of capital and technology. They not only engaged in gold mining, but also purchased a large amount of land and established manors. A Ming-style town, Jinshan Town, was also built in the area of ​​Santa Francisca.

Recently, the embassy of the Ming Dynasty in Washington also put forward a proposal of "putting aside disputes, building a railway, and jointly developing western Oregon", and wanted to build a railway connecting Jinshan Town and Dongfu City, the capital of the new Manchuria of the Ming Dynasty in Wenshui Bay!
What an unbearable ambition!
At the same time, Daming's investment in the Mexican Emperor Agustin I was also quite astonishing. The "Military Expenditure Loan" alone gave 6000 million silver dollars!
Without the strong support of Ming Dynasty, Agustin I would not have been able to survive the difficult period in the early days of the establishment of the Mexican Empire. He was overthrown by a group of warlords and radicals who advocated the republic.The Mexican Empire may also have fallen apart.
In addition to this life-saving "military loan", Daming's capital has also invested in railways, ports, and power plants in Mexico in the past two years, and also helped the emperor of Mexico operate the silver mines, gold mines, and mints that he nationalized. The total investment (including military loans and development in California) is probably more than 2 million yuan!
In addition, Daming’s investment in Simon Bolivar has reached tens of millions. Moreover, Daming is also an active supporter of Simon Bolivar’s cause of the South American Federation. dynasty!
The Ming Dynasty's line of fostering great powers on the American continent is itself hostile to the idea of ​​the United States trying to become the only big and powerful country in the Americas.

Because once the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation are established and stabilized, the Americas will no longer belong to the Americans!
And once the Americas become the Americas of the Americans, the living space of Western civilization will far exceed that of the Great Ming Dynasty. The numerical advantages (population and GDP) of the Great Ming Dynasty will sooner or later be occupied by more (too much) to survive Space beyond the Anglo-Saxon civilization!

Therefore, Ming's American policy must be to support a powerful country in the Americas that can fight against the United States, while encroaching on the land in the northwest of the American continent, and striving to expand its own living space.In this process, the confrontation between Ming Dynasty and the United States is almost certain.

"However, Ming Dynasty has a population of 6000 million. If Japan and those vassal states of Ming Dynasty are counted, their population exceeds 3000 million, maybe 5000 million or [-] million!" Little Adams said, "while the United States and the United Kingdom only have more than [-] people. Ten thousand people. Can we win?"

"Yes, it must be possible!" Viscount Palmerston said in an unusually firm tone, "They have a population of 3000 to [-] million, and they are still growing. This means that the living space they currently have is not enough! If they don't expand , there is no way to maintain the current affluent life. Their huge industry needs a market, raw materials, and the whole world!

Not long ago, Ming Dynasty incorporated Japan into its own system, which meant that they were going to expand eastward!Japan is not only the springboard for Ming to enter the Americas, but this country with very low manpower can also provide a lot of labor and cannon fodder for Ming's eastward policy! "

Robert Peel took the words of Viscount Palmerston, and continued: "Mr. President, you don't need to be too pessimistic. In fact, our population is also quite large! Although the combined population of the United Kingdom and your United States is only 5000 million, we And India!"

"India?" Little Adams was taken aback, and said to himself, "Is India and us a family?"

Viscount Palmerston nodded and said, "According to the latest statistics from the Indian Imperial Government, India has a population of more than 2 million! Adding the more than 5000 million of our two countries, our three countries have a total population of nearly 2.6 million! With 2.6 million The three nations of the population will unite into one mighty Anglo-Saxon axis!"

The American Secretary of State, Henry Clay, looked worried: "Your Excellency, 4.2 million is more than 2.6 million! It's a full 1.6 million more! Moreover, Ming's industry is much stronger than the three of our countries combined! "

"Yes!" Viscount Palmerston nodded, "They are indeed stronger than us, but that is a comparison of overall strength, not a comparison of local strength. If we want to attack their homeland together, our strength is indeed insufficient. There will definitely be failures. But we don’t need to do this, we just need to hold the living space that belongs to the white people and contain them in East Asia.

Not only do we have to prevent their troops from coming out, but also their products. We can no longer be as naive as in the past. We can no longer use gold and silver from America to buy Ming's industrial products.We must use the gold and silver of America to strengthen the industries of our two countries! "

At this time, India is not a family anymore?
Little Adams was silent for a while, and then said: "The gold and silver in America don't seem to be buried underground in the United States."

The gold and silver in America are all under the Mexican Empire and Bolivar's South American Federation!

This is also the reason why the Ming Empire is willing to contribute money and efforts to support them. Now that the whole world is still based on the gold and silver standard currency, currency is needed to buy industrial products of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, as long as Ming can control the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation, it will be able to kick Europe out of the international trade cycle—just let the gold and silver in the Americas be directly exchanged for Ming's industrial products. Why bring Europe?

If you think that the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation have too few populations to support a large market, you can also invest in large infrastructure there.Anyway, they have plenty of gold and silver to pay their bills, and the country is quite big, so they can do a lot of infrastructure construction.

Viscount Palmerston burst out laughing after hearing what Adams said, "Mr. President, if I remember correctly, the land under your feet did not belong to the United States of America, nor even England!"

Robert Peel said: "Mr. President, no matter how powerful Ming's force is, they don't have the ability to invest too much power on the Atlantic coast. A long distance will make the most powerful military group weak. And the Mexican Empire and the so-called The South American Federation, together, may not have 400 million native whites. And the whites in the United States of America will soon exceed 2000 million! 2000 million vs. 400 million, the advantage is on our side!"

Viscount Palmerston said: "Yes, we can adopt defensive and limited offensive and harassment tactics in the United States, the East Indies, and Australia. The brave Indians will attract the main firepower of the Ming Empire.

At the same time, we can launch an active offensive in the Americas. We, the British Empire, support your American expansion in the Americas, and also recognize that the Americas are the Americas of the Americans!And we can sell you our best battleships as much as you want, and pay for them with Pennsylvania oil. "

"The best warship?" The President of the United States frowned. "Minister, do you mean the Sovereign Class?"

"No, we will provide you with the most advanced Indomitable-class battleship and Courage-class heavy artillery cruiser!"
