The sun never sets in America

Chapter 51 Diplomacy

"The combat effectiveness of their army is much higher than that of the army of the Republic of Mexico. This can be seen from the first two wars." Haring talked to Governor Ceci Will about the strength of Liujiabao's army, "No matter in terms of morale, In terms of fighting will and even tactics, these pagans are impeccable and even close to perfection..." Haring continued to tell Governor Ceci Will about what he thought of the Liujiabao army.

"Well, this is also the reason why I and the British Empire are willing to communicate with them." After listening to what Haring said, Ceci Weir nodded noncommittally, expressing his approval of what Haring just said. , in fact, if it weren't for the two fateful wars that Liujiabao won, the British would not necessarily pay attention to them... Even if the record is slightly poor, it will be greatly discounted in the evaluation of the British.

It was precisely because Liu Jiabao had won the war with the Mexicans, and in such a short period of time, that the British quickly threw it out after Liu Peng found the British Minister in Rashid through Harlem olive branch…

All because the existence of Liujiabao is in line with the interests of the British Empire, especially in America.

"So do you think they will become our allies?" Governor Ceci Weir looked at Harlem with a serious expression and asked. So far, the most solemn and important words. The conversations just now are also for This sentence sets the stage.

"If we are talking about ordinary Orientals, they may play tricks on us, work against us, or even directly deceive us." Harlem often travels to the Eastern route and knows the people there very well, "But the Liujiapu people don't , because their ruler is called Liu Peng." When Harlem mentioned Liu Peng, his eyes flashed with a strange light, which showed how high Liu Peng was in his heart.

"He is the smartest person I have ever met. He knows how to deal with the relationship with the British Empire." Haring continued to tell Governor Ceci Weir, "And he does not have the bottomless greed of ordinary careerists. , He is very restrained, and restrained is not like a leader." Harlin then mentioned Liu Peng to Cece Will.

"Last time I asked them what Liujiabao wanted." Harlin mentioned the task given to him by Governor Ceci Will last time, which was to test Liujiabao's bottom line. "He told me clearly that they wanted land. , I want enough land to survive." Harlem looked at Governor Cesi Will's eyes and said what Liu Peng had answered him last time.

"Land?" When Seth Will heard that Liu Jiabao wanted land, his heart did not waver at all. It seemed that this was something he had expected. After all, only with enough land can Liu Jiabao survive. Only by developing can they become what the British want them to be, that is, become a strategic rival of the United States... Although this is very difficult, what if it comes true?

Even if it can't be realized, there will be no loss to the British Empire. It just needs to pat its butt and leave when the time comes. And what the British Empire has given, diplomatic influence, a little poor economic assistance, and some industrial assistance, only That's all.

"Yes, they only want land." Harlem continued to answer Governor Ceci Will.

"How much land do they need?" Governor Ceci Weir then asked Harling.

"California area." Harlin immediately responded to Governor Ceci Will's words, "All the land in the entire California area, and the legality of this land..." Harlin handed Liu Peng his bottom line. , all told Governor Ceci Will.

"California, legal??" This request suddenly made Governor Ceci Weir hesitate. He didn't care about the California area. After all, it was neither a territory of the British Empire nor a colony. They all belonged to the Mexicans anyway, but among them The word "legal" gave him a hard time.

After all, if you want to forcibly occupy the California area, you only need to put pressure on the Republic of Mexico. You can even organize the advance of the Mexican army on the grounds of debt collection, but the law has made this matter public...

This is no less than asking Mexicans to publicly sign a treaty to cede territory. Even if the Mexican bureaucrats are willing to do so, they would not dare to do so. After all, such a treaty, no matter who signs it, can be regarded as a loss of power and humiliation of the country.

"Of course, Liu Peng also said that if the Mexicans find it too ugly to cede land, they can instead allow California to become independent." Harlin saw Governor Ceci Will's hesitation and said everything Liu Peng told him. come out.

"Independence, he is very good at playing word games..." After hearing Harlem say that Liu Peng changed the ceded territory to independence, Governor Ceci Weir smiled helplessly, "Ceding territories and independence are very important to Mexicans. , there is no difference." Governor Ceci Weir looked at Harlem and replied. In his opinion, no matter which statement was made, it was difficult for Mexicans to accept it.

"But after all, the Mexicans have left face, haven't they?" Harlin looked at Governor Ceci Weir and asked, "And he has also given an explanation to the Mexican people." Harlin suddenly hit the point of this matter, then It is an explanation to the Mexican people, especially within Mexico.

After all, it is not the first time for those greedy bureaucrats and aristocrats of the Mexican Republic to betray the country. It is just that this time the selling is bigger and more crazy, but it is still betrayal.

But the biggest difficulty in this matter is that he is different from the economic traitor in the past. He is betraying the country on the national sovereignty of the Republic of Mexico and the territory of the Republic of Mexico. The meaning of this matter is different... and it can easily become a detonator. The trigger of all the contradictions in the Republic of Mexico is something that the bureaucrats and nobles of the Republic of Mexico cannot accept and cannot bear! !

"But you have to know that the Mexicans have mortgaged the California area to those greedy foreign bankers." Ceci Will mentioned to Harlin that some time ago, the Mexican Congress passed the mortgage of the California area to obtain loans from foreign banks. This incident caused quite a stir even among the British, which shows how decisive the Mexicans were this time.

"How about we let them have a fight." Harlem said to Governor Cesi Will in a calm voice, which made Governor Cesi Will change his expression.

"If the Mexicans win, our British Empire will have no losses and no burden." Haring continued to say to Ceci Weir, "But if those Liujiapu infidels win, we must support them, Whether it's diplomatic, economic, or even industrial." Harlem said to Governor Ceci Will with an aggressive look.

"This is what Liu Peng meant, right?" After hearing this, Governor Ceci Weir looked at Harlin with strange eyes and asked.

"Yes, it is Liu Peng's request." Harlem nodded noncommittally to Governor Cecil Weir and replied, "Liu Peng is very smart. He knows that he cannot prevent the Mexicans from using loans to start a war, and he also knows that We will not take risks for these infidels, but he is still willing to cooperate with our British Empire, but he only has one request, and that is a promise, a promise from the British Empire." Haring continued to talk to Governor Cecil Will Liu Peng The things he said to him.

"What promise?" Governor Ceci Will asked immediately.

"Formally recognize Liujiabao's legal status after the war." Haring looked into Governor Ceci Will's eyes and replied, "and ensure their safety in America, especially when facing the Americans." Haring When answering Governor Cecil Will this time, even he himself felt that Liu Peng was too worried. As far as he knew, although the Americans were currently expanding westward, they would not be able to threaten Liujiapu for a while. survival.

"Americans?" Upon hearing the Americans, Governor Ceci Weir's eyes gradually became sharp. If you were to ask all British politicians who the future enemy of Britain is, those in the country would probably say France. Tsarist Russia, even Austria-Hungary and Prussia, and even the Ottomans, but for Ceci Weir, the Governor-General of Canada, the United States... is the first, or even the most important, enemy of the British Empire in the future.But unfortunately, some people in the country have not yet recognized the current situation.

I always have a condescending feeling towards the United States, saying that Americans are rude and uneducated, that the United States has copied European technology and industry, and that Americans’ English accents are really barbaric, etc. Anyway, from head to toe, I just can’t stand the United States.

In addition to the grievances during the American Revolutionary War, the most important thing is the rapid development of the United States, which has allowed some narrow-minded British people to break their defenses. It is like the godson of an old aristocratic family who was originally regarded as his son. In the blink of an eye, He rebelled and is now getting richer and richer. You can only imagine what this nobleman is thinking! !
The United Kingdom is the old aristocrat, and the United States is the former godson.

Of course, the relationship between father and son can also be used to describe the relationship between the two countries.

"I can't agree to this. I have to report it to London and let the cabinet handle it." If Governor Ceci Weir just recognizes California, he can make his own decision, but if it is to help Liujiabao resist the United States, that is not the case. Ceci Weir, the governor-general of Canada, can now make the decision, but it must be left to the bureaucrats in London.

"Then how should I reply to Liu Peng? After all, he is still waiting for news from me." Harlin then asked Ceci Weir how to reply.

"You tell him that in this war, we will try our best to favor their side, and we can even provide some intelligence support..." Governor Ceci Weir thought for a moment, and then replied to Harlem, "But we want to It is impossible for us to directly intervene in the war or even help them win this war. This is something that the British Empire cannot promise." Governor Ceci Weir then warned Harlem that after all, this war, For the British Empire, it was not only a test for Liujiapu, but also a test for the ability of those in power. If you win, everyone will be happy. International recognition and assistance will come. If you lose, I'm sorry, Great Britain. The empire doesn’t know you! !

You have nothing to do with the British Empire.

After that, the British Empire will turn its aid and diplomatic support to Liujiabao to the Republic of Mexico, which they once regarded as a cesspit. Of course, after this war is over, Mexico will no longer be considered a cesspit...

After all, only war is the best moment to prove a country! !

No matter how fanciful you usually brag, but in the face of war, everyone will be exposed to their true appearance.

For a country, this is even more true. If a war is won, international prestige will rise. If a war is lost, international prestige will decline, and even turmoil may occur.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must observe them."

The Mexicans do not understand this truth. They hurriedly entered the battlefield and lost two wars. Now, they are hurriedly borrowing money to fight the war, completely ignoring the actual situation in the country, just to satisfy the selfish interests of some people... …

"What kind of intelligence support?" After hearing this, Harlin frowned and asked Governor Ceci Will.

"The movements of the Mexicans and the direction of the war." Governor Ceci Ware looked at Harlem and replied, "But that's all, there can't be more." Governor Ceci Ware finally said to Harlem added.

"Tell that Liu Peng that if they win, I will personally visit Los Angeles." Governor Ceci Weir continued to urge Harlem, "But if they lose in the end, then I can only pray to God, and he will Go to heaven, this is the only thing I can do!!" When Governor Ceci Weir said this, his expression became a little cold, even a little ruthless...

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty the Governor!!" Harlem looked at the indifferent Governor Ceci Will and agreed to what he had just told Liu Peng.

Afterwards, Haring finished his cup of cold coffee, found an excuse, and left the Governor's Mansion.

Governor Ceci Weir picked up the quill pen, wrote quickly on his desk, and finally stamped it with the seal belonging to the Governor-General of Canada. Then he put the written paper into the envelope and sealed it with wax.

"Here comes someone..." Governor Ceci Weir looked at the envelope in his hand, waxed it, and shouted to the door.

"Mr. Governor, what are your orders?" In the Governor's Mansion, an entourage wearing a red coat and white stockings walked into the Governor's Mansion. After seeing Governor Ceci Will, he immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Send this letter to London immediately. Hurry, you know?" Ceci Weir handed the newly sealed envelope in his hand to the entourage, and then warned him.

"Yes, Lord Governor." After the entourage took the envelope, he quickly left the Governor's Mansion, and immediately found a clipper ship of the American Navy under the British Empire Navy that was specially used to deliver letters and intelligence, and handed the letter over to In the hands of the captain.

Soon, a clipper ship flying the Union Jack flag of the British Empire, supported by two sail warships, sailed towards the British Isles on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean...

Governor Ceci Weir, who was in the Government House, stood on the tallest building of the Government House, overlooking the entire Ottawa, and murmured to himself: "I hope these infidels can win. After all, those rude Americans are really... Too arrogant!!" Governor Ceci Weir's eyes hide deep anxiety about the United States of America. These anxieties come from the fear of the rapid development of the United States! !
His intuition told him that there is only one country that can replace the British Empire as the global hegemon in the future... and that is...

United States of America! ! !
