The streets of New York were as empty as any other major city in the Northeast, and the vanguard of the Liberation Army stared nervously at the gray façade at the edge of the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This exterior wall is not as simple as the city wall, and many parts are made of masonry and cement. There are also many 'remains' of buildings in such sections. As a very developed large city in the United States, New York has many buildings, and when building a defense system, those imaginative builders made full use of New York's characteristics.

Shells exploded one after another at these buildings, and during last year's offensive and defensive battles, the US troops returned fire with heavy artillery fire. New York is now extremely silent, and in the face of the artillery test of the Liberation Army, there is no return fire in the whole city.

"Up!" Colonel Shi Qian gave the order. Soon, the detachment of the Liberation Army, newly dressed in camouflage uniforms, attacked New York City along several offensive routes. Under the personal witness of Colonel Shi Qian, the troops climbed the outer defensive wall and took the important place that devoured the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Guangfu Army.

The city was not entirely peaceful, and sporadic fighting broke out. Overall, the 100,000 people who remained in New York did not cause much trouble for the Liberation Army. On May 26, New York, the most important port city in the United States, fell into the hands of the Liberation Army. New Orleans and New York were once the fulcrum cities of the American resistance to the Liberation Army, and now both cities are in the hands of the Liberation Army.

On the morning of the 27th, the fleet of battleships off the coast of New York sailed into New York Harbor, and from the warships, the troops of the Liberation Army were cheering inside and outside the harbor. "Long live the Governor!" "Long live the Governor! Banzai! Hooray! "The cheers of the whole day can be heard on the ship.

"Did we do it?" Fleet Commander Hu Congrong muttered to himself.

"We did it!" Gao Ning, the political commissar of the fleet, replied loudly. It can be seen that the commander and the political commissar are excited. The army of the Liberation Army fought from west to east, and the navy of the Liberation Army fought from east to west. The army had to go north to the northwest of North America and then all the way south. The navy went south around the Cape of Good Hope and then north to New York. Many of the Army and Navy had to travel such a long way from Nanking before they met again in New York.

At the moment when such a great feat has been accomplished, the feeling of the person concerned is 'unreal'. If it were not for the absolute confidence in Weese, the navy would not have seriously gone thousands of miles away without a port base to launch an attack on the enemy's navy. Facts have proved that with the assistance of reconnaissance aircraft carriers, battleships can exert more than ten times the combat effectiveness of the previous ones.

"Long live the Governor!" "Long live the Governor! Banzai! Hooray! "The cheers on the shore are getting clearer and clearer. Gao Ning, the political commissar of the fleet, turned his head and shouted to the communications staff officer: "Flag language!" Long live the Governor! ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer ran to the interrogation with a happy face. At this moment, nothing can be more in line with everyone's mood than this sentence. If victory could be concretized, Governor Wezedu was undoubtedly synonymous with victory in the hearts of these soldiers. Although such victories are sometimes too unexpected.

Surprisingly, it was Weeser's habit, and just as New York fell into the hands of the Liberation Army, the British ambassador to China went to visit Foreign Minister Li Xin. As soon as they met, the British ambassador asked: "Your Excellency, six states of the United States, including Maine and Massachusetts, have requested to be incorporated into Canada. We would like to ask about China's attitude. ”

Li Xin did not speak immediately, the war situation was unclear when the war first broke out, and the attitude of the Republic of China towards the United States was relatively vague at first. Now there are two internal attitudes, one is that the war is over when it is over, and that if you can kill less, you can kill less. The other is that it is better to solve the problem with Canada and complete the overall control of North America.

In terms of Li Xin's attitude, he personally does not believe that letting the Americans go can make these people grateful to Dade. From this point of view, it seems like a good solution once and for all. But Li Xin thinks that he has to be forgiving and forgiving. Governor Wei Ze was very worried about 'the inability to fight at home and the invincible foreign patients outside', and Li Xin also agreed with Wei Zedudu's opinion. If there is some external pressure, it can also make the interior more dynamic. This is beneficial in the long run.

"Do you want to receive these six states?" Li Xin asked.

"We believe that the less killings, the better." The British ambassador said compassionately.

Li Xin thought it was really funny about this, when Britain created boundless murder in the world, he had never seen them so compassionate and compassionate. However, Li Xin didn't want to emphasize this matter too much. After all, Britain moved to take in those Yankees, which was a good thing for the Minchaos. So he said cheerfully: "Now that we have fought the war, we think the war can be over." It is not a question for Britain to take these five states, the question is whether Britain can control them and prevent a new war between you and our country. If we can, we can accept it. ”

This made the British ambassador look a little surprised, and when he was instructed to submit this proposal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, which was said to be the proposal of the British Colonial Minister, the British ambassador to China thought that the British Foreign Office was crazy. Not to mention that Canada will eat American land, whether China will allow Canada to continue to exist is a huge question.

The change in reality made the British ambassador to China even more confused, and he felt that not only the British colonial minister was crazy, but also the Chinese foreign minister. This is a question that involves the fate of millions of people, and in the eyes of China's foreign minister, it is insignificant. Could it be that the Chinese side has already negotiated this matter with the colonial minister?

No matter how many doubts there are in his heart, the British ambassador to China must not swallow back what he said because of doubts. At the beginning, the ambassador was thinking about how to persuade the Chinese foreign minister, and was unprepared for a smooth persuasion. So he pondered for a while before he said, "Your Excellency, what is your clear attitude?" ”

Li Xin didn't have that many ideas, and he immediately replied: "We have no objection to Britain taking over six states. But once the reception is complete, there are attacks from these six states, we can only assume that it is the British who attack us, and then return fire on the British. ”

This statement was murderous, and the British ambassador to China was relieved in his heart. That's right, that's right! It is not right to let Britain swallow the six northeastern states of the United States with great ease, and there is really no such reason in this world.

Overtly suppressing a belligerent attitude, an envoy secretly sent by Weese also arrived in London to meet with Cecil, the minister of the colony department. Rhodes meets. The Chinese envoy handed the mining giant, who had been looking forward to reclaiming the United States, a map that "this is the land we are willing to receive from the British."

Cecil?? Rhodes took a closer look and found that in addition to the six states that had been incorporated into Canada, China was also willing to hand over North Carolina and several states to the north to the United Kingdom. Of course, the map also marked that China would own land near New York and the Erie Canal. Putting down the map, the mining magnate asked, "What conditions do you want?" ”

"Britain moves its capital to North America." The Chinese envoy replied cheerfully.

If other British elites heard this, they would probably turn pale with fright. And Cecil?? Rhodes was not in the slightest waver, and he had always believed that Britain was going to be a continental country, not a small island state on the edge of Europe. Only by becoming a strong continental country can Britain maintain its superiority over European countries. If this map turns out to be true, the new Canadian Commonwealth now has three million square kilometres, more than ten times the size of the three British Isles. As for the population and resources, they are not comparable to the British Isles.

As for the so-called danger, Cecil?? Rhodes didn't take it even more seriously. China has proven their strength, and if China wants to solve Britain by force, Canada will definitely be taken away. And even if China doesn't take action, in the current situation in Canada, it is easy for a second United States to emerge if it is not guaranteed. Canada was originally a country composed of Americans who did not want to secede from Britain, and if there was another trouble, no one else would say anything, and Britain would definitely not get any benefit anyway. If a strong Britain were to be established in North America, the situation would be completely different.

Didn't answer the question of China, Cecil?? Rhodes asked, "What are you going to do with the United States?" ”

"If they are willing to sign a peace agreement, leave Cuba and Puerto Rico to them." The Chinese envoy replied.

"Has the United States changed from a continental country to an island nation......" Cecil?? Rhodes only thought it was amused. His ideal Britain would change from an island country to a continental country, while the reality of the United States was the complete opposite. What is even more ridiculous is that the islands left to the United States are still taken from the Spaniards. The seizure of these islands was actually the result of China's defeat of Spain in Luzon. The irony in this is too strong, and it has the meaning of making people cry and laugh.

"But I can't guarantee that the lobbying will be successful. There are people in the country who are already satisfied with the harvest of the moment. "Colonial Chancellor Cecil?? Rhodes speaks to himself as a mining giant.

The Chinese envoy did not feel at all inappropriate in response to such a statement. He also said frankly: "If you need help, please be honest. We want to maintain the UK's strong position. ”

Hearing this, Cecil?? Rhodes frowned slightly, he was not familiar with the Chinese envoy, and the Chinese seemed to have very limited interest in diplomacy, so the Chinese could find the right people and say the right things. But it always feels like something is missing. So Cecil?? Rhodes couldn't help but ask, "What is the purpose of your country's this?" ”

"Peace." The Chinese envoy said flatly.

Cecil?? Rhodes was speechless for this answer, and if it weren't for peace, he wouldn't have worked so hard, let alone risked being misunderstood as a traitor. After a moment of silence, Cecil?? Rhodes went on to ask, "How long can this peace last?" ”

Looking at Cecil, the head of the colonial department?? With Rhodes' serious expression, the Chinese envoy couldn't help but chuckle, "It depends on how long you Britain can hold out." Our Majesty hopes that China will henceforth enter the stage of territorial defense warfare. No more fighting abroad. Britain should shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining world peace. We'll help you. ”

"Has China really decided to stop there?" Cecil, Minister of the Colonies?? Rhodes was puzzled by this, but he also had to believe the words of the Chinese envoy. As Minister of the Colonies, especially of the British Empire, Cecil?? Rhodes could not explain China's actions in terms of European colonial thinking. China does not have the concept of colonies, and even the East African administrative regions equivalent to colonies, the construction of Chinese on them is probably a little stronger than that of many European countries.

The messenger smiled: "There is no reason to stand still in this world. We in China have an old saying that if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat. China wants to move forward, but we no longer have to rely on the expansionist model to reap the benefits. You Europeans are influenced by Christian culture, and you want to conquer the world at every turn. And for us in China, we only need what we need. ”

The talks were followed by some more specific intelligence exchanges, including China's bottom line. It is naturally best to be able to cooperate with the British, and if there is no way to cooperate, the Min Dynasty will not sow seeds in the saline-alkali land. At the end of the talks, the Chinese envoy returned to his residence, Cecil?? Rhodes goes straight to Liberal rising star Lloyd?? George there.

Seeing the Minister of the Colony coming, Lloyd's?? George was a little surprised. But he still invited the senior into the house to talk. The parties to which the two belong are different, and their political views are also very different. But Lloyd's?? George doesn't hate the mining magnate Cecil?? Rhodes. There's a lot to admire about this man, even from a business point of view, Cecil?? Rhodes's Kimberlite Diamond Company stabilized the price of diamonds by controlling supply, and in a sense stabilized the industry. Even as a liberal, Lloyd's?? George also acknowledges that this economic view is very effective.

Listened to the talk about Britain moving its capital to North America, Lloyd's?? George wasn't overly surprised. This argument of His Excellency the Minister of the Colonies is not new to this day, and many people in the upper echelons of London are aware of His Excellency's thinking. And there are some people who support this view. So Lloyd's?? George asked, "Sir, don't you think it's too dangerous to do this?" ”

"Do you think the British fleet can defend the British Empire from China?" Cecil?? Rhodes asked bluntly.

The question left the young Liberal MP speechless. If China were to launch a war similar to that of the United States, the British Empire would probably not be able to hold it. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese battleships is truly terrifying, capable of conducting baseless operations from thousands of miles away. Britain's Grand Fleet could only now confidently cross the Atlantic to fight the U.S. Navy. At a time when the United States is about to be destroyed, Britain must face the possibility of a Chinese navy fighting across the sea.

"If China were to fight the British Empire, we would be no different in the British Isles than in North America. If there is peace between the two sides, what difference does it make if our capital is in North America or in London? "Cecil?? Rhodes recounted his views.

Lloyd?? Councillor George thought for a while before he made up his mind, "Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with me when you come to me?" ”

Seeing that Lloyd's moved?? George, Cecil?? Rhodes happily replied: "I hope that the legislators will convince the Liberal Party that they will support this bill." At the very least, tell me what it takes to get them to support this bill. ”

Britain's Conservative giants, as well as the rising stars of the Liberal Party, have agreed on such a strange issue, Lloyd's?? George himself had his own uneasiness in his heart, but none of the uneasiness was greater than the impact of the annihilation of the United States. The United States claims to have a population of 60 million, but there is a lot of water in it. More than 10 million to 20 million of them are immigrants who have gone to the United States to earn a living, and they do live and work in the United States, but these people have no real intention of giving up their lives for the United States. After this vote, there are about 40 million people in the real United States.

Such a figure is considered to be in the middle for European countries. Russia, Germany, and France all have populations of more than 40 million. The population of the British Empire was close to forty million. As for the large population of Austria-Hungary, there is no need to count on any mobilization effect for such a large national prison.

China single-handedly solved the United States, just as Cecil?? Rhodes's view is that instead of thinking about how to rely on force to confront China, it is better to seize the hand of China's friendship and take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen his own strength. Lloyd?? Councillor George rushed to the Parliament for the meeting.

At this time, the Conservative Party came to power, and the Liberal Party came to power again. As a rising star of the Liberal Party, Lloyd's?? George MP also took advantage of an add-on to enter the House of Lords. At this time, the House of Lords was consulting on the latest admission of the six northeastern states of the United States. For the six states of the United States, or the states that once dominated the independence of the United States defected to the United Kingdom, Lloyd's?? Councillor George listened with great interest to the briefers.

The six northeastern states had long been in private contact with the British, and it was the change in New York City that made their final decision. The city's army and inhabitants had been able to hold back the smug Liberation Army with their stubborn will, but the city could not stop the lack of food. Feeding hundreds of thousands of people who are not engaged in agricultural production is a very heavy burden. Even if a person eats only one pound of grain a day, 700,000 people need 21 million pounds of grain a month. If you persist for five months, you will need more than 100 million catties of grain.

This is a heavy burden on the current United States, because the federal United States is equivalent to a community of many small countries, and the executive power depends entirely on the ability of the federal government. Today, there are no states that really take the orders of the federal government seriously, and the states don't even take themselves seriously under the panic of collapse.

There was no food, and the people who had gathered in New York began to scatter. The snowy winter in the northeastern United States was not easy, and some of them starved to death in New York before they could run away. In March, the Chinese battleship fleet wreaked havoc on the east coast of the United States, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The six North American states knew that as long as the Chinese could secure a port here, the Chinese fleet could arbitrarily shell any city on the east coast. America's demise is inevitable.

In such despair, throwing themselves into the arms of Britain again became their only option. The Chinese are close at hand, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, six North American states have applied to join Canada. In the latest news, the Chinese side did not object, but only asked the British side to guarantee that New Canada would not send troops to attack China.

The world is changing so fast that Lloyd's?? Councillor George felt like a kaleidoscope of changes, recalling the proposal of the Minister of the Colonies, Lloyd's?? Councillor George suddenly felt a little uneasy and inexplicably courageous.
