Seward was a little strange: "Now that there is a truce between your country and our American Federation and the Confederate States of America, a permanent peace agreement has been signed, and all the problems have been resolved, what else is important?" ”

Lu Ziyue glanced at him, and Lu Ernan hurriedly walked outside the door, closed the door and guarded outside. Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Siward also began to be cautious.

Lu Ziyue glanced at Fan Ruzeng, Fan Ruzeng nodded, and Lu Ziyue lowered his voice and said: "President Seward, we have learned that as early as when Lincoln was elected president, you were a person who was unwilling to lag behind him. Moreover, your personality is actually very strong, but you are suppressed by Lincoln, and you are a person who is not willing to be mediocre, and you do not want to be a deputy. That's why you're working with us....... Now that you have finally ascended to the position of acting president, we believe that with your means, it will not be long before you can truly sit on the throne of president!

But that's not your goal! Your goal is to build a strong American Commonwealth! And from your personality analysis, you have always been in favor of strong expansion. But now, because of the peace agreements signed with our Chinese Empire and the Confederate States of America, your country cannot develop to the west and south, and the Atlantic Ocean is to the east, so if the American Federation wants to expand, it can only go in one direction, the British North American colonies in the north!

President Seward, am I right? ”

"Haha!" Seward was surprised, his face changed dramatically, but he quickly returned to normal, and laughed to hide the shock in his heart.

"Mr. Special Envoy, Ambassador Lu, you are right!" Seward nodded and admitted: "I naturally don't want the American Federation to fall, the United States has gone through many hardships, I love it deeply, and it must rise!" Say, Mr. Ambassador, what exactly do you want to say? ”

"Haha, that's great! Mr. Seward is just refreshing! I like to work with someone as crisp and cheerful as you! After listening to Lu Ziyue's translation, Lu Fan Ruzeng said: "It's very simple, our two countries can cooperate again!" In other words, our Chinese Empire can help your country expand northward! ”

"What!?" After listening to Lu Ziyue's translation, Xihuade actually understood what Lu Ziyue meant, but after listening to Lu Ziyue's translation of the words of the young emperor's envoy surnamed Fan, he still couldn't help but feel a wild beat in his heart: "You actually let our American Federation send troops to attack the British Canadian colonies?" That's a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain! The world's first power, the British Empire, on which the sun never sets! I'm crazy, I'm playing with the future of the entire American Commonwealth, and attacking the British Canadian province with an egg! Even if it is barely captured, in a few months, the entire United States will suffer a catastrophe that will destroy the country! ”

"Mr. Seward, that was before!" Fan Ruzeng bewitched through Lu Ziyue's translation: "You should know that the Chinese Empire is now at war with the British expeditionary force, although it seems that the navy of our Chinese Empire is somewhat defeated, but that is just the appearance. The British fleet was always towed in the Indian Ocean and did not cross the Strait of Malacca. Moreover, the situation has slowly begun to become clear, to tell you the truth, our Chinese Empire is just accumulating naval strength, or it won't be long before you will see, the whole world will see, a fiasco defeated British army!

It is conceivable that from now on, Britain, as the world's number one power, will decline! And we, the great Chinese Empire, have risen to become the empire that defeated the world's number one power! I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be too late for you to regret it. The entire British colony in North America will be occupied by our Chinese Empire, and your American Federation will henceforth be confined to such a large territory, and there will be no place to expand. ”

Siward seemed to be a little moved, his voice trembled a little, and said, "Mr. Special Envoy, how can you be sure that your Chinese Empire will defeat the most powerful British fleet in the world?" ”

"It's easy! Just because our Chinese Empire has a wise and martial emperor, His Majesty! Fan Ruzeng showed admiration on his face, and said categorically: "Mr. Siward, have you ever seen a person who can develop a backward country into a world power in a few years with his own strength, with millions of troops, and defeat the European powers many times?"

That's our Emperor's Majesty! In just a few years, the development of our Chinese empire is now seen by the whole world. Let me ask, why has the British expeditionary force been at war with our Chinese Empire for several months, and has never been able to penetrate the mainland of our Chinese Empire, not even the East Indies? Not only because the seemingly powerful British fleet is already on the surface, they are already at the end of the crossbow, but also because our Chinese Imperial Military has become strong! ”

Xiward looked at Lu Ziyue and remained silent.

Fan Ruzeng continued: "I'm not afraid to reveal it to you, Mr. Siward, it has always been our army and coastal defense forces of the Chinese Empire that are fighting with the British Expeditionary Force, and as for the navy of the Chinese Empire, except for a small number of reconnaissance ships and inland river shallow gunboats, the main naval force has been avoiding a head-on battle with it. In other words, just by relying on some land forces to deal with them, they have dragged the other side for several months. And according to what I have learned, the navy of our Chinese Empire has already had two of the most critical killer features, and when the time comes, it will definitely shock the whole world! I don't think it will be long. ”

Seward shook his head: "Mr. Special Envoy, even if you are clever, I can't agree to your proposal to attack the British Canadian Province!" It's a fateful decision! Unless I am 100% sure that the Kingdom of Great Britain will fall and that their power will no longer be able to influence the Americas, I will never make the decision to attack the provinces of British Canada!" I beg your pardon for not being able to cooperate with your country on this matter! ”

"That's a pity!" Fan Ruzeng sighed: "It's a pity, the American Federation will lose an excellent opportunity for expansion, and you, President Seward, will also lose the opportunity to become the leader of the American Federation in times of crisis and lead the American Federation to become a world power!" It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Seward hung his head and pondered.

And Fan Ruzeng, Lu Ziyue, and Lu Ernan got up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Seward raised his head suddenly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Wait, Mr. Envoy, are you sure that the British army will really be defeated?" ”

Fan Ruzeng turned his head, looked at Xihuade with a smile, and said nothing.

Seward gritted his teeth: "I believe in you, Mr. Envoy!" Whoever conquers the territory belongs to whomever he owns? ”

"That's right! Whoever occupies it first will be whosoever! ”

"Fight! I choose to work with your country! Siward said fiercely with a fierce face: "It's just that the two gentlemen are asked to keep this matter strictly confidential!" Your country will send troops first, and our American Federation will not send troops immediately, and only after the war in the Far East is divided into victories and defeats, will we decide whether to send troops or not! If the British Expeditionary Force is victorious, I will not admit that I have promised to cooperate with you in attacking Canada; If the British Expeditionary Force did fail in the Far East, the American Commonwealth would quickly send troops to the St. Lawrence River to block the only outlet to the Great Lakes in the Canadian province. ”

"Not bad! Mr. Seward, you and your countrymen will be glad you have chosen today! But you're still too conservative! Now the Beiyang Fleet of our Chinese Empire has captured the territory of the Russian and American companies of Tsarist Russia and the colony of British British Columbia, and the entire colony of British Columbia, with a population of less than 50,000 and 2,000 troops, is extremely easy to occupy.

And the army of our Chinese Empire will attack north from Minnesota on the same day, and I don't know how much of the British Canadian province will remain uncaptured by our army when the British Expeditionary Force in the Far East is defeated! Fan Ruzeng laughed, stretched out his palm and held the other party's arm tightly: "Anyway, continue to cooperate happily!" ”
