Chapter 90: Negotiation (1)
It is clear that there is not only an emperor who is playing Mariano and Mexico's idea, but the emperor can realize the importance of Mariano and Mexico at this moment, and as the president of the United States, Ulysses naturally knows it.
And in Ulysses' view, Mariano now has more reason to join forces with the United States.
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the royal family occupy not only the entire territory of Texas, but also about 20,000 square kilometers of Mexican land bordering the United States, with Ciudad Juarez as the center, and now all of them are under the control of the royal family.
In this case, Ulysses thinks that he can easily say that Mariano will join forces with him, after all, everyone can see that the royal family is now occupying Texas, and at present, it is only playing a role in the pace of the main army of the United States to attack the Shenzhou Empire, and wanting to completely occupy this state in the second largest area in the United States is basically equivalent to a fool's dream, in other words, no matter the success or failure of this war, sooner or later, the United States can take Texas back from the hands of the royal family, and the time to get it back sooner or later is at most to make the United States lose some face, and the territory of the United States will not be occupied。
But Mexico is different.
Without the help of the United States, Mexico's more than 20,000 square kilometers of land has basically said goodbye to Mexico, this is the most important bargaining chip in the hands of Ulysses, and it is also what the United States must do next, as long as Mariano is willing to send troops to flank the royal army, after the US military takes back Texas, Ulysses is willing to help Mexico get back their more than 20,000 square kilometers of land.
Canada, the United States, and Mexico are the three most important countries in North America, in addition, there are some small and medium-sized countries, but this continent with more than 20 countries is the most traditional backyard of the United States, these countries basically belong to the younger brother type of the United States, in North America, the United States does not allow any force to oppose the United States, and not a square kilometer of territory can be given to others, let alone more than 20,000 square kilometers of territory?
If the royal family takes root in that land, with the support of the Shenzhou Empire, the army is endless, and a large number of weapons and equipment are enough to arm everyone to the teeth, so that even if the emperor is beaten out of Texas, the emperor only needs to retreat to Mexico, and he will have the qualifications and strength to make a comeback at any time, which also means that the rear of the United States will never be at peace, in this way, the status of the United States as the world hegemon will naturally decline greatly, and with the decline of national strength and economy, perhaps it will not take many years for the absolute superiority of the United States to accumulate in all aspects after World War II will turn into flowing water and no longer exist。
Therefore, it is imperative to bring Mexico over and then drive out all the forces of the royal family.
Ulysses was in a hurry.
Very anxious.
As the U.S. military's counteroffensive into Texas became worse and worse, so did the pressure on him.
Counting the successive presidents of the United States after World War II, Ulysses may not be the most outstanding, but he can definitely be said to be one of the most outstanding presidents, which no one can deny in the past few years, the declining economy of the United States under his leadership not only regained its footing, the economy is still slowly picking up, military and people's livelihood, Ulysses is also very effective, and has a good reputation among the people, if not, he would not have the ambition to continue to be re-elected president after his term of office expired.
But this excellent president in the last period of his term, but one after another, but a series of defeats, a large number of terrorist attacks caused panic among the people, and some of his extremely tough measures also caused the masses to dissatisfied, before under the guidance of Hovington and Dabinitet, the people's opposition to him has reached a critical point, and the further things go, the worse the situation, the outbreak of the War. Fullon War, which was a war that was supposed to be won, but because of some accidents and his own stupidity, this president who was very effective after World War II, even lost the capital of his country.
Not to mention the supporters of Ulysses, even the disgruntled populaces were speechless.
After the extreme disappointment, it turned out not to be hysterical anger, but a suppressed silence, almost all American civilians did not know what to make of their own president, a president who lost the capital, what the is this?
But the people's disappointment has clearly not reached the limit.
In other words, the U.S. government has made up its mind to surprise them all.
After the capital was reduced to rubble, in less than two months, Texas was lost again.
What is the size of the capital?
And what size is Texas?
The District of Washington-Don Columbia, the capital city, covers an area of less than 200 square kilometers.
Texas, on the other hand, is nearly 700,000 square kilometers!
700,000!
This area, equivalent to nine times the headquarters of the royal family, equivalent to one-thirteenth of the territory of the entire United States, was lost like this.
The feeling is indescribable.
The American people are truly mourning more than dying, and this time, they are completely speechless.
Now the whole United States is in a state of panic, and even many people feel that the end of the United States is coming, they used to be the most powerful country in the world, but in the face of invasion, their powerlessness has stunned everyone.
The total fall of Texas and the failure of the United States to regain the lost territory in a short period of time have made all the people, and even many allies of the United States, question the strength of the United States, and even some loyal followers of the United States have wavered.
Texas fell.
The Brazilian fleet entered US territorial waters forcefully and flaunted its military might less than 20 kilometers from the port of Miami.
It's verbal.
The United States, which is so anxious, has not even come up with a plan to actually sanction the two countries.
As a result, some allies of the United States have also followed with strong verbal condemnation, and their mouths are full of righteous indignation, but their actual actions have not been at all.
In addition, in less than a month since the fall of Texas, the U.S. immigration bureau has become the busiest place, with incomplete statistics, in less than a month, nearly 100,000 people have gone through immigration procedures, involving all walks of life, many of whom are elite industries and talents in technology industries.
There is a massive loss of talent, but the work of the immigration office has not diminished in the slightest, and there are still countless long queues every day.
In the months after the outbreak of the war, although the United States lowered its immigration conditions, there were fewer than a few thousand people who could immigrate to the United States from abroad.
What's more, the Skull and Bones Society's middle-ranked family has all gone to Northern Europe for vacation since the end of the War-Dwarton, and there is still no intention of returning.
The situation is getting worse and worse, so bad that it makes it difficult for Ulysses to even take a breath, and what is even more annoying is that the Comoria clan often talks to him about problems, and since the Comoria clan entered the United States, Ulysses has never taken out any heavyweight real power position, which is also something he wants to solve in the near future, otherwise once the Comoria clan turns around and leaves, it means that the United States can no longer keep its allies, which is by no means good news for other countries that are still standing in the same trench with the United States。
Originally, Ulysses also wanted to wait with a shelf, after all, in his opinion, Mexico lost 20,000 square kilometers of territory, and without the help of the United States, they had no hope of getting it back.
But after waiting for more than half a month, there has been no news from the Mexican side, and Ulysses has become more and more unable to sit still.
At this point, Ulysses already knew that there were some things that had to be taken and lowered appropriately, and Mariano could take care of it for the time being, but he was becoming less and less qualified to bargain.
At least for now, he had to talk to Mariano and negotiate with him in the most sincere way possible.
That's the only way to go.
is in the best interest of the United States.
