"Mr. Tokugawa, don't place too much hope on the Heroes and Heroes of the Mexicans. The Royal Mexican Navy's Caribbean Fleet will not give you much help until the Texas Marines break through the American blockade and enter the Gulf of Mexico. .”

Zhuge shook his head for the Tao, and poured cold water on Tokugawa Qizhao's head.

"Why?" Tokugawa Qizhao still didn't understand, "We are going to help the Mexicans defend Texas. Don't they want to defend Texas?"

"Agustin I certainly wants to defend Texas," Zhuge Weidao said while opening a desk drawer, took out a map of the Caribbean Sea and coastal areas, and spread it out in front of Tokugawa Qizhao. Then he pointed to Texas above and said, "This is indeed the destiny of Mexico! If Emperor Agustin can keep Texas, then in the future Mexico will be able to absorb millions or even hundreds of millions of people with this fertile land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Tens of millions of European immigrants. The coastal plain area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers from Texas to eastern Mexico along the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea will surely become a prosperous place comparable to the thirteen states of North America!
But if the United States captures Texas, Mexico will not only lose the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the Northeast, but also permanently lose the possibility of growing into a world power and the capital to fight against the United States.Moreover, Mexico's vast, desolate, and sparsely populated northwest mountains will also be swallowed up by the United States, and eventually all will be lost. At that time, Mexico will be completely reduced to a vassal of the United States, and it will never rise again.

However, Agustin knew that he could not lose Texas does not mean that he dared to fight. Otherwise, he would not have remained silent after the Texas incident.Now the American fleet has blocked the Gulf of Texas, while his Caribbean fleet is hiding in Port Elizabeth and dare not show up. "

"Mr. Zhuge, that's a strategy to protect the ship and defeat the enemy, that is, to have a fleet." Tokugawa Qi Zhao is still defending Agustin I's policy, "The Americans have received technical assistance from the United Kingdom in recent years and built several A mighty United States class."

Zhuge Weidao shook his head and said with a smile: "Agustin will only wait for more United States-class or even more advanced American warships! The industrial strength of the United States is not comparable to that of Mexico. As long as they receive technical assistance from the United Kingdom, they can Build a ship like making dumplings! Mexico is just an agricultural country with mines at home, and they can succeed for a while by relying on the warships they bought, but if they dare not make a decisive move when their strength is in the upper hand, they will wait until the equipment in their hands is outdated , The enemy's new equipment has been manufactured in batches, but the opportunity is missed!"

While talking, Zhuge Weidao suddenly glanced at Tokugawa Qizhao with gloomy eyes, which made Tokugawa Qizhao's heart shudder.

How did he know that Japan in another timeline used the money robbed from the Qing Dynasty to buy advanced British warships, and then cleaned up its old shipbuilders during the Russo-Japanese War, and staged a rare It is better to buy than to make.

It's a pity that the Mexican emperor didn't have the courage of the Japanese devils, and he was reluctant to use the newly acquired heroes to beat the Americans.As a result, the Americans, relying on their own industrial strength and the technical assistance of the British father, made "dumplings" wave after wave.Although most of their United States level is not as good as the hero level, but there are too many of them!Moreover, building ships by yourself can not only stimulate the economy, but also cultivate technical capabilities. In the future, it will definitely be better and faster.

It is better to buy this armament than to build it. It can only be successful for a while. If you can't start with the enthusiasm you just bought, after a long time, the performance of the armament will age, and it will not be as good as others who can build it themselves.

Zhuge Weidao looked away, and looked at a red line connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea on the map, "However, the Emperor of Mexico will speed up the construction of the Nicaragua Canal in the future. Only when this canal can be opened can the Ming Pacific Fleet send real Powerful detachment into the Caribbean!"

"According to the current progress, the canal will be built for at least five years?" Tokugawa Qi Zhao said, "If the labor force can be doubled, the time should be shortened to three years, but what about these three years?" manage?"

In fact, Tokugawa Qi Zhao has been staring at this canal. Most of the laborers who repaired the canal are from Japan!If it had to be built by Mexican Indian workers, the canal would not be completed for another ten years.

But Agustin I also had some doubts about the arrival of a large number of Chinese and Japanese—now the California region of the Mexican Empire is open to the Chinese (mainly gold diggers), Texas is open to the Japanese, and Nicaragua is here again Tens of thousands of Japanese laborers dug the canal.Adding the three aspects together, there are more than 20 East Asians in Mexico, and they are still coming in continuously.

At this rate, within a few years, the number of East Asians in the Mexican Empire may exceed that of native whites (more than 200 million)!

Who will decide what happens in Mexico?
But now that the United States has laid hands on Texas, Agustin I may not care about the "distant worries" of the continuous flow of immigrants from East Asia. After all, if he, the "Napoleon of the Americas", cannot keep Texas, which is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, then he is not bowing. It's time to step down!

Zhuge Weidao went on to say: "Mr. Tokugawa, these three years are very dangerous for us, but at the same time they are also opportunities! The court of Agustin I cannot lose Texas. If Texas is lost, Agustin I belongs to Mexico." Sinners have to lose their heads. And if he wants to keep Texas, he can only rely on the assistance of our two countries. We just took the opportunity to send immigrants to the Mexican Empire! The Mexican Empire only has 200 million native whites. If we have more than this number"

If there were 2000 million native whites in the Mexican Empire, Ming and Japan would not have to think too much about it.

But there are only 200 million native whites in this country. These people are the masters of the Mexican Empire!

And the total population (including Japan) in the circle of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty has exceeded 4 million, and if [-]% of them immigrated to Mexico, the color of Mexico could be changed.

This prospect is so exciting!
Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qizhao again. He knew that Little Japan must have such thoughts, otherwise he would not spend so much money to send laborers and samurai to Mexico.

"The key now is that you can break the American blockade, pass through the Yucatan Strait between Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula, and enter the Gulf of Mexico." Zhuge Weidao pointed to the strait between Cuba Island and the Yucatan Peninsula , "This strait is about 100 nautical miles wide, and it is only four to five hundred nautical miles from New Orleans, but it is 1.6 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor.

Dezhou Haizi's fleet had to sail continuously at sea for more than 2 months before arriving.

And the British will certainly put pressure on the Gran Colombia and the Brazilian Empire.Let your fleet not be able to obtain sufficient supplies and maintenance opportunities after entering the Atlantic Ocean... At that time, you will be exhausted and the Americans will be able to wait for work in the Yucatan Strait. "

Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qizhao and said: "The battle in the Yucatan Strait is of great importance, Dezhou Haizi must go all out!"

"Can we win with all our efforts?" Tokugawa Qizhao was a little skeptical, "If the Mexican fleet doesn't move out... Dezhou Haizi's strength may not be enough!"

"Enough!" Zhuge Weidao said with certainty, "Before Dezhou Haizi's fleet enters the Caribbean Sea, all carrier-based aircraft pilots will complete training. Then they will be sent to Colombia by airship... Chicheng and Kaga There are our newest carrier-based aircraft.

This is a better aircraft than the SsangYong biplane carrier based seaplane.They can take off and land on the air defense deck of the aircraft-carrying frigate, and they can also carry 100 kg bombs for small-angle dive bombing, which is enough to deal with American battleships! "
