I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 177 Louis XVI: Your Majesty Li Zhan, is he like me? Roosevelt: Apparently, Europe was already at war!
[Louis XVI of the United States: Come on, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, I am actually not interested in their American affairs at all. Let’s talk about the wonderful things in the East. Let’s talk about your situation first. 】

When I saw Zhu Houzhao’s trumpet, I was about to start a narrative from an Eastern perspective.

Louis XVI really showed some interest.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Well, let me talk about my situation first. I am the nineteenth emperor of our Tang Dynasty... The emperor you just mentioned was murdered... Our Tang Dynasty also has it, my grandfather Shunzong was killed by eunuchs, and my great-grandfather Xianzong, Likewise, the closest one is Jingzong, who is equivalent to my uncle... He was killed when he was 17 years old. 】

[Equivalent to just eighty years... we also had three emperors die at the hands of others. 】

[Under this situation, I actually feel that I am in some danger. So... I can only pretend to be harmless and play polo and visit the harem, for fear of being killed too. 】

Zhu Houzhao first described the situation in which their Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also killed from Li Zhang's perspective.

This is a test to see how much the presidents of the United States know about his trumpet.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Huh? Our emperor... was also killed? 】

Louis XVI was shocked.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: How can they be so similar? 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Yes, how can it be so similar? This is the first time I have heard of this situation. 】

[Merceron Roosevelt: Your side has a really profound history. This is the first time I have heard of it. But this situation is very similar to ours in the United States, so what happened to you then? 】

Roosevelt and Cleveland were naturally unclear about the history of the Tang Dynasty, but the similarities that Zhu Houzhao introduced immediately calmed them down.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Later...how did I know? But aren’t you saying that our Tang Dynasty will also perish? I feel that if this continues, our Tang Dynasty may not be able to sustain it for long. I need you to help me take a look at this, my ending, and the future of our Datang. 】

Zhu Houzhao kept his role in mind and worked hard to play this role well.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you can rest assured that I will help you take a look next time I have a chance. 】

Cleveland also realized that he had no specific information about Datang.

[Mercerson Roosevelt: I will also try to help you next time. 】

Roosevelt obviously didn't have one here either.

[ Mercer Lincoln: By the way, isn’t Grant in China? Just let him ask now. 】

Lincoln provided a unique perspective.

[Mercerson Roosevelt: Yes, President Grant is in China, so it should be more convenient than us! 】

This reminder also reminded Roosevelt of Grant's current situation.

[Meili Zong Grant: President Lincoln, how did you know I asked. Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, your ending is not very good! I just asked your Chinese official, he said... If you are the 289th emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there will only be two emperors after you, and then... your Tang Dynasty empire will be destroyed, and your Tang Dynasty will exist years. 】

Grant came in handy and gave accurate information immediately.

Oh……

This time the chat group has given such a King Grant. Is this the biggest role?

It seems that if done properly, you can know the historical direction of the Ming Dynasty in advance. If you don't know the direction, you can know a specific date of its demise.

Zhu Houzhao focused on Grant, who was in the land of Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: Huh? What? My Tang Dynasty still has two emperors gone! This...isn't it? 】

Of course Xiao Xiao had to pretend to be surprised, after all, he was Tang Xizong now.

[Meili Zong Grant: Your Majesty Li, this news may be bad news for you, but there is even worse news to tell you. You'd better be mentally prepared. They also told me... It seems that you died at the age of 27, and you will not see the day when your Tang Dynasty is destroyed. 】

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Huh? Another...another short-lived emperor? Shorter than me? 】

[American Taizu Washington: This...died so young? 】

As soon as this result came out, the group was shocked again.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I...I can only live to be 27 years old...right? 】

Zhu Houzhao wanted to skip this step, but he had no choice. It was a necessary process.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: My condolences, His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, aren’t you alive now? Moreover, you know your death date... maybe we can give you a little help. 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Yes...Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you may be more optimistic. Entering our American family means that your destiny or the destiny of your Datang Empire can be changed. Don't be anxious or afraid. We will help you. 】

People in the group showed their love in a timely manner.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I... strive to be optimistic! But I think... I can only play polo for less than eight years, and I can't be happy anymore, and I feel even sadder. 】

Zhu Houzhao kept his character in mind and pretended to be a coward... Somehow, he felt he was good at it.

Furthermore, pretending to be confused seems to skip this step quickly.

[American Taizu Washington: Uh... playing polo, playing with locks... so similar? 】

[Mercy Lincoln: Huh? The country is going to perish... Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you only have a few years to live. Your Majesty, you are just like His Majesty Louis XVI. What you care about is not the country, but... your hobbies. 】

[American Yingzong·Cleveland:...]

[Mercedes Roosevelt: He is really willful, just like His Majesty Louis XVI. 】

[Meili Zong Grant: Uh... It seems they said that this emperor really loves polo... It is a sport. He can even give a person a high official directly because he plays polo well... For example Army general, finance minister, etc... Also, he eventually fell ill from his horse while playing polo... and then died because of the chaos in the country, running around. 】

Grant even took the opportunity to add the cause of Li Xuan's death.

From this look, he looks even more similar to Louis XVI.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Ah... His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you, you are actually a member of the same group? I was just a little surprised. 】

At this moment, Louis XVI felt like he had seen an Eastern version of himself, and his favorability towards the trumpet played by Zhu Houzhao was almost over the top.

He has found a comrade!

[Merc. Lincoln: This...this Eastern Emperor seems to be more exaggerated than your Majesty Louis XVI...! Because the players are very skilled, they appoint officials directly... Also, the country is in chaos and they are running around...]

Lincoln, Washington, Jackson, etc. in the group were even more surprised.

I didn't know how to complain for a while. Obviously I didn't expect that there were less than ten people in their chat group and they already had the Eastern and Western Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks.

However... this kind of narrative comparison obviously allowed them to quickly understand Tang Xizong and Li Xuan.

Oriental version of the large Louis XVI.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Sure enough...the group leader will not bring in a featureless Eastern Emperor. Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you are a perfect match for His Majesty Louis XVI! His Majesty Louis XVI, he also had a hobby that he was so addicted to that he died! Fix the locks... maybe you have something in common. 】

This time Cleveland truly admired the mysterious group leader.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty: Huh? Really? Your Majesty Louis XVI, are you of the same mind? 】

[Meliezu Louis XVI: Well, it's a pleasure to meet you again, Your Majesty Li Xuan. I feel that I am no longer alone in the group. 】

The two even started chatting, and the presidents in the group even twitched their mouths.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Louis XVI, you can put your greetings a little later. Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, you should be fine. How about continuing with the introduction...or maybe we feel like we already know you, do you have anything else to add? 】

Cleveland decisively brought back the topic and brought in the Eastern version of Louis XVI. They all understood it.

It’s better to choose a deputy!
Zhu Houzhao once again recognized Cleveland's court control rhythm.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Introduction, I feel like I don’t have much to introduce! By the way... there is one more thing I would like to add... I just listened to Roosevelt's description of the situation in the entire world. I feel that it is a precursor to troubled times. We also have some examples here. I try to use my Let me understand the situation you describe and see if it corresponds, so that I can have a clearer understanding of you. 】

Zhu Houzhao naturally kept in mind the topic of conversation and wanted to understand the situation in the United States and the world.

At the same time, a wave of Eastern wisdom is output.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Then tell me. 】

Cleveland felt a trace of contempt. He was as foolish as Louis XVI. He didn't expect any special insights.

[Li Xuan, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: Okay, I’ve said it! I feel that after listening to Roosevelt's description... I feel that your world is very similar to ours in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. First of all...the chaos caused by killing the emperor goes back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when they killed the emperor Cao Mao...]

[In the next five years of chaos in China, the Huns Liu Yuan took the opportunity to establish the country... Then Han and Zhao captured the imperial capital of the Jin Dynasty and captured the emperor... His clothes traveled south, and then heroes from all over the country proclaimed themselves emperors, starting a protracted struggle for the throne. war. 】

[The reason why all this started was that Cao Mao was killed... and then the emperors of the various vassal states were also killed one by one. The world order suddenly collapsed, and there is an urgent need to establish a new order... Over there, I also feel that it is the old order. It is somewhat unsustainable, and a new order has not emerged... Your so-called sun never sets, France, has not spoken enough for the whole world to listen...]

[In addition, you, the United States, who are similar to the Great Qin, also want to take a share of the world. Whoever can destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be the master of the world. You... obviously don't obey the other, and troubled times are coming! It may be a chaotic war between more than a dozen countries...]

Zhu Houzhao's words were naturally combined with what Roosevelt said and his own understanding to infer the pattern of the S1 preseason.

This world war was foreign to him.

But the King of Qin swept Liuhe, the three hundred years of troubled times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, etc. are all too familiar. Dividing and combining is the law of power struggle.

After taking a closer look, he felt that the world structure might be similar.

This kind of analysis is naturally useful to Roosevelt and others.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: The old order is unsustainable, and the new order has not yet emerged. Insightful! 】

Cleveland obviously didn't expect that a random emperor from the East could actually be useful.

Once this insight came out, he undoubtedly had a deeper understanding of the current old order and new order.

[Messe Zong Roosevelt: Huh... chaos in more than a dozen countries! Although this Eastern Emperor lived more than a thousand years ago,... his knowledge was obviously correct. The old world order is unsustainable... leading to all kinds of chaos. The world now, after carving up global colonies, does need a new order. 】

[And now, the leader of the old order is ostensibly Great Britain. 】

[Actually... Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire are not convinced. 】

[The European coordination led by the sun never sets has changed its flavor. 】

[What’s more, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance established by British pacifist William Randall Creamer and French pacifist Frederic Passy in 1889, although the sun never sets and France is the leader... With the death of Queen Victoria, the parliamentary alliance of various countries, especially France and Germany... they are not very stable. 】

Roosevelt had to combine their current S1 pre-season situation and once again felt a bit of pessimism and pressure.

Representative of the old order: the Inter-Parliamentary Union - this is the predecessor of the League of Nations!
The leader of the alliance is the sun never sets for the time being. After the First World War, he dominated the League of Nations and became the well-deserved world leader.

The United States is now just a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, and it has to participate in international affairs under the rules set by the sun.

This is naturally not acceptable to the United States... Being a younger brother is not as satisfying as being an elder brother and the leader of the alliance.

It's just that he hasn't shown his strength through war. Even if he wants to move from the alliance's younger brother to the elder brother's position, many countries are not convinced.

Therefore... after the sun continued to decline, they also learned how to establish the United Nations with the United States as the leader and build a new international order.

The current situation is that because of the death of Queen Victoria, the grandmother of Europe, the United States is not convinced by the leaders of the Sun Never Sets, let alone other countries such as France and Germany in the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Naturally, they all want to find a leader. Dang Dang.

There are already signs of infighting within the international gangs... Civil fights are okay, but I'm afraid that one of them can't control it and it turns into a violent fight.

That would really turn into a world war.

[Meixuanzong Jackson: Really? Will the world usher in a war? How do I feel...Roosevelt, are you a bit alarmist? The seven anti-French alliances were already considered great wars. Will there be more chaotic wars? 】

[ Mercer Lincoln: That’s not the case, right? The world is relatively okay...the old order is unsustainable, except for us in the United States, are they all okay? 】

[Meilizu Louis XVI: Roosevelt, why do I feel that you and His Majesty the Tang Dynasty are thinking too much. Chaotic wars in more than a dozen countries have never happened before in this world! Aren’t our Hundred Years’ War… Seven Years’ War and other wars very fierce? 】

Jackson, Louis XVI and others could not understand Roosevelt's concerns. Even Louis XVI felt that it was not a big deal. There had been a Hundred Years' War, not to mention the wars in more than a dozen countries.

Naturally, their understanding of war has not been updated.

Roosevelt understood this.

[Merceron Roosevelt: How should I put it... His Majesty Louis XVI, President Jackson, and President Lincoln did have the Hundred Years War and so on in the past, but in today's world, with the growth of technology, population, and the upgrading of weapons, , the form of war... is far beyond what the war in your minds can compare to! 】

[If there is to be a world-class chaotic war, its brutality... I feel it may even be several times greater than our civil war. 】

[Mercier Lincoln: A tragic war beyond the level of the Civil War? 】

[Meili Zong Grant: No, Roosevelt, you are not unfounded, are you? I feel that the casualties and tragedies of our civil war are already the highest in the world. Can it be surpassed? 】

The two witnesses of the Civil War, Grant and Lincoln, were immediately shocked. After all, someone had said... The American Civil War was a preview of World War I, especially Grant's strategy of resource push, which was almost several versions ahead of the world.

However, at this stage in 1864, the United States was not the center of the world.

Although various countries sent civil war observation missions, most of them watched the excitement. By the time of World War I, basically no one learned from the experience of the American Civil War. Each of Europe fought in its own way. It was not until the early and middle stages of the war that tactics were updated.

Zhu Houzhao was also a little surprised. It was a more intense war than the American Civil War in which 800 million people died.

This is somewhat beyond Zhu Houzhao's imagination.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Um...wait? Roosevelt, what did you say? Queen Victoria is dead? Is the old order unsustainable? ! 】

Roosevelt's unintentional disclosure also allowed Cleveland to capture a key piece of information.

Queen Victoria is a symbol of the glorious era when the sun never sets on Britain. If she really dies, her influence will be unprecedented. Her European grandmother is gone, how can she suppress the royal relatives in Europe?

There is indeed a feeling that the old order is unsustainable.

Cleveland suddenly felt where Roosevelt's pessimism and fear came from.

After all, World War I was simply a fight between imperialists!

Now Cleveland clearly knows that the monarchs of the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Russian Empire are all related.

[Merceron Roosevelt: Yes, President Cleveland, Queen Victoria passed away. She passed away on January 1901, 1. She is alive and well, and she feels that the royal families in Europe still give her face. But now that she has only been dead for four years, the relationship between the European royal families is not so harmonious. 】

[Now that the sun never sets on Great Britain, Edward VII succeeds to the throne. What does he say... The influence in the world is definitely not as good as that of the Queen. Therefore, he went out of his way to win over France and signed an Anglo-French Entente, which stipulated that the two countries should stop fighting for overseas colonies and start cooperating to fight against the threat of the newly rising German Empire...]

[Previously, President Cleveland also knew that on October 1879, 10, the military alliance concluded between Germany and Austria... mainly prevented the French and Russian empires. 】

[In addition, in 1882, France and Russia also secretly signed a military alliance against Germany, Italy and Austria...]

[Originally, the three countries of Germany, Italy and Austria were dissatisfied... Now after Queen Victoria's death, the sun never sets on the Entente with France...]

The world situation is actually quite clear to Roosevelt.

Of course, only Cleveland could keep up with Roosevelt's thinking.

Others had little feeling about Victoria's death.

[Louis XVI: Wait...An Anglo-French Entente? Can we in France sit down and sign cooperation with the British? Are you kidding me? 】

Louis XVI did not understand how Britain and France could reach an agreement.

After all, their two countries have been at war for almost six hundred years from the twelfth century to the present. How can they shake hands and make peace? This was a historical joke for Louis XVI.

[American Taizu Washington: This... is indeed a bit unbelievable. The British and French have entered into an entente! 】

Washington also sensed something unusual.

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Your Majesty Louis XVI, don’t be so excited. France and Britain have cooperated not just once. After the Napoleonic War, your two countries also cooperated and became allies. 】

[Mercy Lincoln: Yes, Your Majesty Louis XVI, don't get excited... After the Napoleonic War, the two of you have been advancing and retreating together, fighting against the Eastern Qing Empire and the Russian Empire together. The Opium War and the Crimean War were fought. 】

Lincoln and Jackson were the first to directly complement British-French cooperation.

[Meliezu Louis XVI: How...how could this happen? How can we cooperate with the British. 】

However, Louis XVI still could not accept it.

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: British-French cooperation, what is there that His Majesty Louis XVI cannot accept? When national interests outweigh hatred, alliances are common. 】

[Roosevelt said... You have all started forming alliances over there. Obviously this is preparation before war. 】

[This is more in line with my speculation. 】

Zhu Houzhao understood Louis XVI, but from a historical perspective, he felt it was normal, and he also felt that his analysis this time did not seem to be wrong.

[Messezon Roosevelt: It is true. There are only eternal interests between countries. I just hope that we in the United States can pursue more interests in such an uncertain future. This is our current situation and positioning. 】

Roosevelt once again reiterated their positioning of the United States before World War I.

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, I feel that the Eastern perspective given by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty has indeed inspired us. If you have anything to add, let’s continue President Grant’s introduction. 】

Cleveland paused for a moment, then quickly recovered, remembering his hosting duties.

Through this small talk, he undoubtedly gained a clearer understanding of the shape of the world.

[Li Xuan, Xizong of the Tang Dynasty: I have nothing to add. 】

[Meliezu Louis XVI: You continue, I need to slow down. 】

Louis XVI obviously still couldn't accept cooperation with the British.

[Meili Zong Grant: My self-introduction, Cleveland, isn’t it up to you? In fact, I also want to know how long I can live. 】

[American Yingzong Cleveland: Well, let me quickly and briefly talk about President Grant. 】

Cleveland went straight to introducing Grant.
