Wild North America 1846

Chapter 654 Smoke bombs

"Oh...will Lord William also be invited to the summit? Why didn't I know that I sent him an invitation?"

Emperor Richard had just received the Governor of the Southern District and officials from various provinces at the Central Railway Station in Mexico City. During his break, he heard the unexpected news.

Are Brits a shit stirrer?

This is a question that a three-year-old child can answer. The former Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone is undoubtedly the biggest, smelliest and toughest one.

He rushed to attend the Summit of the Americas, and he couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Emperor Li Cha is not afraid of him, because as long as this guy dares to come, he will never go back. Li Cha has a hundred ways to make him die naturally and peacefully, without any doubts.

Prime Minister Dong Jie smiled wryly, and replied respectfully;
"Show Your Majesty;
Weichen also just got the news that this was an invitation from the President of the Confederate States of America, John F. Kennedy, and there was no word about it.

We even hid it from the Preparatory Committee of the Organization of American Cooperation, our host country, until Lord William and his party arrived in Richmond on the Royal Navy visiting fleet, and we did not receive the news.

It is said that this small British royal visiting fleet will arrive in Florida in a few days, and the British parliamentary delegation led by Lord William will arrive with the fleet.

The guest just came to the door like this, and he couldn't refuse even if he refused, this was Weichen's fault. "

"John Kennedy, what kind of medicine is in his gourd?" Emperor Richard asked with a displeased expression.

President John F. Kennedy was a large Anglo-white slave owner in South Carolina. He owned more than 1170 black slaves and operated tens of thousands of acres of cotton plantations. He was a powerful figure in southern politics.

Based on the interests of the Confederate States of America, it is not surprising that John F. Kennedy and the Britons got on the line. The big southern white slave owners have inextricably linked with the suzerain country, Britain.

Britain is the largest cotton sales market, and the south also needs Britain to balance the strength of the Tang Empire. It is not difficult to understand how to move closer to Britain.

But doing so would undoubtedly be messing with the meal!

The Organization of American Cooperation is the long-term political promotion goal of the Datang Empire for several decades, the basis for building the security and cooperation situation in the entire Americas, and the pinnacle that will determine the strategic pattern of the Americas.

on such an important issue

It's very interesting that the Confederate States of America suddenly came to such a backstab.

The big powers in today's world are all bad tempered, and the threshold for launching a war is so low that it can be completely ignored. Any absurd excuse for war is fine, and no one cares about it anyway.

Has the Confederate States of America gone?
Is it due to tidy up?
Who gave him the courage to do so?

To know

This will inevitably arouse the wrath of the Tang Empire, which will be regarded as a betrayal, which will lead to a series of serious consequences.

Prime Minister Dong Jie replied cautiously;
"Return to His Majesty;

Weichen secretly thought that this had something to do with the serious economic difficulties faced by the Confederate States of America, which is why President John Kennedy made such an unwise move to try to curry favor with the British.

The Confederate States of America were a single agricultural economy, and 9% of their exports depended heavily on cotton. During the economic crisis that broke out in 1873, they never got rid of the plight of a sharp drop in cotton exports, which severely damaged the interests of white slave owners.

The only way to solve it is to obtain the understanding and goodwill of Britain, the largest cotton importer.

Because the Confederate States of America stubbornly insisted on slavery, they dumped cotton at a low price, seriously infringing on the interests of the British colonies.

This includes Egypt, India, and Sri Lanka, so British warships have often intercepted southern cotton ships in recent years, creating cotton trade frictions, and suppressing the southerners.

President John F. Kennedy was able to run for office on the slogan that he promised to "substantially improve the correspondence relationship and restore the formerly close cotton trade relationship during his term of office."

This outrageous move is most likely due to this...

The humble minister was negligent and begged His Majesty to punish him. "

After Prime Minister Dong Jie finished speaking, he saluted with both hands, and bowed deeply, his face full of guilt.

He hated President John F. Kennedy now, but there was nothing he could do for the time being.

Former British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone was undoubtedly a heavyweight and a big trouble. He couldn't be bothered and annoyed, and he had to be patient and listen to his bullshit.

Although it will not completely mess up the founding ceremony of the Organization of American Cooperation, it will definitely cause headaches and prevent this long-prepared American diplomatic event from being perfect.

Facing such a heavyweight, the prince and Prime Minister Dong Jie are not enough to watch, only His Majesty the Emperor can hold the field.

In other words, it caused trouble to His Majesty the Emperor.

Emperor Li Cha gave a disapproving "chi" laugh, raised his hand and said, "This is the deliberate deliberation of the Allied Powers of the United States of America, it is not surprising that Dong Aiqing was teased, it is not your fault.

Hehe... Now all kinds of cats and dogs are jumping out, it's really interesting!

When will the Royal Navy's visiting fleet arrive in Florida? "

"Returning to His Majesty, the news we got is three days later."

"Well, the itinerary is changed, and I will temporarily rest in Mexico City for a few days. I want to give a speech to welcome Lord William publicly and show the generosity of the hospitable host!" Emperor Richard ordered calmly.

"Uh... I understand." Prime Minister Dong Jie hurriedly responded, a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

His Majesty's itinerary has changed because of this, which shows that things are a little out of order.

Throughout the Americas, there are two big countries that stubbornly insist on slavery, one is the Confederate States of America and the other is the Brazilian Empire, both of which are disliked by the British.

Slavery has created unfair competition by greatly reducing production costs.

How can Britain like the fact that the Confederate States of America alone have caused unemployment to millions of cotton growers in British colonies in India and Egypt?

Relatively speaking
The Tang Empire has a wide range of agricultural, animal husbandry and meat export products, and the cotton industry does not account for a large proportion. A lot of cotton is used for internal consumption in the empire, and there is no direct competition with the United States of America.

Because the Confederate States of America used a large number of black slaves to produce cotton, it was tantamount to cheating, so the Tang Empire did not focus on the development of the cotton industry, and some cotton needs to be imported, otherwise they would not even be able to recover their capital.

Cotton is also one of the few agricultural products imported by the Tang Empire. The annual quantity is about one million bales, accounting for about 4% of the total social demand.

On the second day after the Emperor Shengjia temporarily stationed in Hua Mexico City Palace, His Majesty the Emperor publicly delivered a passionate speech when receiving high-ranking officials and envoys from various countries in the south of the pilgrimage;

he said;
"I am delighted to see that the delegation of the two Houses of Parliament of Great Britain, led by Lord William, will participate in the unprecedentedly grand Summit of the Americas, which is a good sign of dialogue between the two countries.

I reiterate;
The Tang Empire government's policy of adhering to the long-term close and friendly alliance between Tang and Britain will not change. All misunderstandings will disappear as the two sides get to know each other better.

Strengthening high-level exchanges between the two governments is always a positive direction, far stronger than confrontation.

The government of the Tang Empire welcomes Lord William and his party with open arms, and will welcome our guests with a warm and hospitable gesture.

I look forward to meeting with Lord William in Panama, to exchange views on international and regional issues of mutual concern, and to bridge the gap.This will be a very important meeting that will help strengthen mutual understanding and mutual trust.

As an important international force to maintain the world order, Britain and Tang Dynasty should strengthen mutual respect and tacit understanding, strengthen regional policy coordination, and deeply understand each other's concerns in the years to come. These are the topics that I will discuss with Lord William .

Welcome, my friend of Datang..."

The public statement made by the emperor of the Tang Empire was the foundation of the imperial policy, which was of extraordinary significance, and immediately received a strong response from the British side.

British Ambassador to Tang Dynasty Michael Toxon commented with joy on his face;
"His Majesty's speech in Mexico has undoubtedly laid an exciting and positive foundation for the relationship between Britain and Tang Dynasty. The British side can fully expect that Lord William's visit will achieve fruitful results far beyond expectations, which shows the importance of the relationship between the two countries. Sexuality and depth, a trusted long-term close ally."

In the latest front-page editorial published by the British "Times", the famous political commentator Jason Crowder wrote a review article, highly appraising the Tang Emperor's Mexico speech, he wrote;
"Downing Street has taken note of this positive sign and is encouraged by it, according to an authoritative source;

The Prime Minister's residence opened champagne to celebrate this. We look forward to the in-depth exchanges between the two sides and a tacit understanding of their respective concerns and interests, which is crucial to the development of long-term friendly relations between the two countries.

As the Duke of California who once swore allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Emperor Tang was a true loyal knight with all the virtues of a knight.

It is entirely possible to foresee optimistically..."

The Emperor Datang’s speech in Mexico was spread across the world at a fast speed through the transatlantic long-distance cable, which attracted the attention of all countries. Some people were worried, some were happy, and some were deeply disturbed.

This is the international influence displayed by the Tang Empire today, and it has become one of the first-class powers. No one can ignore the huge geopolitical influence produced by the deepening relationship between Britain and Tang.

This important public statement means that Britain can candidly express its concerns and geopolitical interests, and form a tacit understanding with the Datang Empire.

The emperor of the Tang Empire expressed cryptically; "We should strengthen the respect and tacit understanding of the other party, strengthen regional policy coordination, and deeply understand the concerns of the other party..."

This passage can be understood as saying that the Tang Empire will respect the extensive interests of Britain in Canada, Australia, South American colonial territories, Africa, South Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Governor's Office of the Straits, East Asia and the Near East, and form a tacit understanding of non-aggression.

As long as it is the interests that Britain is concerned about, Tang will respect it, showing a soft figure, which makes the British very satisfied.

Who would have imagined it~ This is actually a smoke bomb released by the noble Tang Emperor to confuse the British...

late at night
The black shadows of the Emperor's Palace in Mexico City shot straight into the sky, and soon they flew higher and higher and turned into small black spots, which could no longer be seen with the naked eye...
