I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 261 Zhu Houzhao: I represent the East and support Washington! Qianlong: Oh no, I have become a substitute?

On the church stage.

Washington, Louis XVI and his wife, Zhu Houzhao and his wife, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, and Roosevelt appeared together and took their seats in turn.

Washington is of course the center.

On both sides are Zhu Houzhao and Louis XVI.

Below the stage, American politicians were still being pointed at by two hundred guns.

However, now everyone is no longer worried.

On the contrary, I am very curious about what the purpose of this unique press conference is.

Because at least so far, no country in the world has specially organized such a press conference.

The Times was only founded in 1785.

The power of the media is not yet recognized by most politicians.

But later Cleveland, Roosevelt and others were all too familiar with this.

Such professionalism actually stunned the journalist friends.

"Your Majesty, can we really ask anything at this press conference?"

However, given the situation, a reporter immediately raised his hand and asked weakly.

"Yes! Of course! I will also use you to announce to the world that I have become the Emperor of America!"

"I will use you to announce America's future political ideas and construction direction to the world."

"I am still a democratic and open emperor."

"We, America, remain a democratic, open and inclusive country!"

"But from this moment on, I am the Emperor of America and will represent all of America!"

"From now on, we will no longer be called the United States, but the American Empire! I am the Emperor Taizu, and the reign title is...Meishi!"

Washington's ability to control the situation was naturally perfect. After hearing these words, the reporters' doubts were dispelled.

However, they were not interested in the American Empire, Emperor Taizu, or the reign of the American Empire mentioned by Washington.

Hamilton, James Madison and others couldn't help but twitch their lips, feeling powerless to complain. What does it mean to still be a democratic and open country?

Can you put the gun down?

"Your Majesty, I am a reporter from The Times. Can I start the interview now?"

"My first question is... do you really want to go to war with France?"

The reporter from The Times was the first to raise his hand, and right away he brought up a sharp and sensitive topic.

As soon as this topic came up, the French deputy envoy stared at Washington with a complicated expression.

"The problem is not with me, but with France! If they want to fight, we will fight them!"

Washington answered directly and positively, once again expressing his determination to go to war.

Just looking at Louis XVI next to him, this sentence was full of absurdity.

"Your Majesty Washington, I understand that... because of His Majesty Louis XVI, you want to declare war on France and help His Majesty Louis XVI restore the throne?"

The Times reporter asked again, looking at Louis XVI.

Can it still be interpreted this way?

Hamilton, British representatives and others expressed interest.

"That's it!"

Washington once again answered directly.

Wow!

The scene was in commotion again. Everyone was looking at Washington and the French representative, whose face looked grim.

"Then Your Majesty Washington, I also want to ask a question! Your Majesty Louis XVI, now that His Majesty Washington wants to start a war against France, did he get your instructions?"

A reporter was so excited that he immediately asked questions to Louis XVI.

The whole place fell silent again.

"That's right! Washington said he would avenge me."

"France today makes me sad!"

Louis XVI answered in French, and there was no need for translation. The reporters and politicians at the scene understood it.

"Your Majesty Louis XVI! You are already dead! What revenge is there for you to take... It was because of you that your dynasty was destroyed! And... you, how can you call on an outsider like America to fight us?" The French deputy envoy couldn't help but question loudly.

"This question is very simple! Back then, I fully supported Washington and his people in establishing the country. Now that I have been screwed by you, isn't it reasonable for me to ask my friends to help me get revenge?"

Louis XVI shrugged his shoulders. He didn't have to be responsible for what he said anyway.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and the French envoy was completely speechless.

"But... Your Majesty Washington, our current America is not strong enough to deal with France..."

America's own reporters couldn't help but raise their concerns.

This was also the concern of Hamilton, Adams and other American politicians present.

"Who says we are not strong enough to deal with France! Don't I have friends in the East? His Majesty Li will fully support me!"

Washington showed an imperceptible smile on his lips and pushed Zhu Houzhao out.

"That's right! I! On behalf of the East, I will fully support America and France in going to war! I will support them as long as Washington wants to fight!"

Zhu Houzhao spoke cheerfully, and now it was finally his turn to speak.

And he also knew that he now... directly represented the Emperor of the Qing Empire!
Hehe~ He did it on purpose!

His words, after being translated by the beautiful woman, caused an uproar among the foreigners present.

"The Eastern Empire supports our war against France..."

"This, this might actually allow us to win?"

"Then...from now on, we won't be subject to any restrictions from France or Britain?"

Zhu Houzhao's statement on behalf of the Qing Empire made Hamilton, Adams, Madison and others suddenly seem to see a new path for America.

The newborn America does need the protection of a great power.

The big country in the East is like a lion, although its influence is not so strong here.

But if they really want to support America, Britain will have to think carefully.

"How did Washington get the support of the Eastern Emperor?"

"If the Eastern powers interfere in American affairs...what should we do?"

The British representatives could no longer sit still at this moment. After all, they still had some ties with the country. The son of America did not look for his father, but went to the East to look for his uncle...

They feel a little green on their heads.

"Your Majesty, how will you support us?"

"From what we know, you in the East don't seem to care much about what's happening here!"

"Does this mean that you, the great Eastern country, will also intervene in international affairs from now on?"

The reporter from the Times immediately stood from the British perspective and asked Zhu Houzhao with a serious look on his face. As soon as this question came out, the British, French and Spanish representatives could no longer sit still.

The world is already such a big cake, and if the Qing Empire were to add to it, there would be less for them to eat.

Jesse immediately gave a lengthy translation.

Zhu Houzhao listened with a smile.

The scene returned to silence temporarily, but everyone couldn't help but become nervous.

If the mysterious and powerful Eastern Empire gets involved, the current world situation will really change.

This is more important than the restoration of Louis XVI.

"First, answer the first question! Our support for Washington... will be like the support during the American War of Independence! We will support America at all costs... Even if our empire collapses like Louis XVI's France, we will still support America!"

"I don't mind walking the path of Louis XVI again."

Damn! Support America with your head!
With the support of Louis XVI and others, Zhu Houzhao's words were like a mountain falling down, putting tremendous pressure on all the countries present.

The Times reporter and the British representative both swallowed hard.

"By, by what?" he couldn't help asking.

"Because Washington and I are best friends!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and put his arm around Washington's shoulder. The two of them smiled together, showing their friendship.

Where on earth did Washington get a friend like the Emperor of the East?

Many questions once again arose in the minds of countless people.

"As for the second question! I am also here to announce... From this moment on, I, on behalf of the East, will officially join this world stage!"

"We in the Eastern Empire also welcome you with open arms to invest, develop, and do business with us..."

Zhu Houzhao launched another big satellite.

“Our trade war with the East… may be brought forward.”

Lincoln smiled bitterly. Zhu Houzhao's words had dug a huge pit for the current Qing Empire.

Perhaps the Qing Empire will have to go down the same path of being bullied by them ahead of time.

They discussed this issue in the group.

But in the words of Zhu Houzhao...it's better to be bullied, wouldn't it be better to change family in advance?
"This... this, this... the world may be changing!"

"Today, Washington's coronation as emperor is actually the least important thing for Washington to become the King of America..."

“The other two things are the most shocking.”

The British representatives could not help but look up at the sky and felt a huge dark cloud looming over their heads.

"Your Majesty Li..."

"Your Majesty Washington..."

"His Majesty Louis XVI..."

The following press conference was as lively and climaxed as ever, especially after learning the three breaking news. Other reporters also rushed to ask Washington, Zhu Houzhao, Louis XVI and others various questions.

Even...Xu Yunmiao and Queen Mary were interviewed because of their clothing.

The press conference lasted for more than an hour.

After the press conference, Washington simply let the reporters and foreign representatives out.

Other American politicians from all walks of life are still imprisoned here by Washington.

In the words of Washington, everybody comes.

It was just the right time for him, the new emperor of America, to formulate supporting policies to clarify the emperor's supreme power and to redefine the administrative system and mechanism of America.

Some people were simply intimidated by Washington and had to compromise.

But at the ceremony in Washington tonight, we were able to get the support of Louis XVI, the personal support of the emperor of the great Eastern power, and we also came up with so many new things.

They also saw that if Washington really received such strong support, America might be able to gain huge benefits in the subsequent world hegemony.

With interests at the forefront, Adams, especially Hamilton and other Federalists, took it very seriously.

Especially the governors of the states... after receiving the promise from Washington that they would be directly appointed without election, they became even more enthusiastic.

……

"Huh, thank you, Your Majesty Li..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Louis XVI..."

“Thank you for coming and supporting…”

"Today's drinking and giving up military power is so cool!"

After the press conference, Washington sent the tour group to the hotel to rest.

In front of his own people, he finally took off his disguise and revealed a smug look.

"Haha, Washington, just keep busy with your business..."

"We can stay here for two more hours. In the next two hours, let's discuss some things with Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt and others..."

Washington was driven away, and Zhu Houzhao came in person, not just to attend Washington's Hongmen Banquet, but also to ask Roosevelt and others more detailed questions directly.

"That's just right... Your Majesty Li, I also want to discuss with you about sending a delegation of experts to your Tang Dynasty next month..."

Naturally, Roosevelt and his colleagues had many things to discuss with Zhu Houzhao face to face.

……

"Quick! Send this news back to the country!"

"The Eastern Empire is going to get involved in international affairs!"

"They want to support America in fighting France!"

While they were discussing, representatives from various countries returned to their residences and began to work overnight.

Then... when the next day came, the news of Washington's declaration of emperorship was exposed, causing shock to the thirteen states in the United States.

What is even more shocking is...European countries!
It’s just that due to the limitations of communication and transportation in that era, news was transmitted very slowly.

It was four months later when the news that Washington had proclaimed himself emperor and the Eastern Emperor had appeared in New York to support America's declaration of war on France reached the Qing Empire.

"what's the situation?"

"I appear in New York, America, and announce my support for America's declaration of war against France?"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Qianlong was stunned when he saw the British envoy in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty... Now European countries are boiling with excitement!"

"Especially since the French fleet has sent 5,000 soldiers and is heading our way! Those in power...are now using this as an excuse to wage foreign wars and unify the various conflicts at home...they have officially declared war on you and America!"

Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing and Heshen were all confused. What? France declared war on them?
"How did they declare war on us?"

"Wait... When did I go to New York?"

"Who is in this photo? He is me... How dare this guy pretend to be me?"

Qianlong, Jiaqing, Heshen and others looked at the black and white photos in the newspaper, especially the photos of Zhu Houzhao and Xu Yunmiao next to Washington. They were stunned and their cerebellums atrophied.
