Zhu Jishi is not too worried about the Anglo-American dualist empire, after all, the United States of America and China, France and Mexico are clearly bitter enemies. Even if the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info does not engage in the dualism of the monarchy with the United Kingdom, it must be a hardcore ally of the United Kingdom. If there really is a world war in the future, this United States of America will be the vanguard of the emergency!

In fact, Zhu Jishi was instead inclined to allow the United States of America to join the British Empire. Because once the United Kingdom and the United States were united, the British would have to pay for the post-war reconstruction of the United States and the welfare of the people. This is not a small amount of money, at least a huge sum of more than 1000 billion 2 billion pounds! Moreover, what is popular in the world in this era is not a non-convertible credit currency, but a hard currency linked to gold and silver! Whether it is the silver dollar of the Ming Dynasty, or the gold pound of the United Kingdom, or the gold franc of France. It's all associated with gold and silver! Therefore, the degree of fiscal expansion of a country is very limited, and it cannot print money because of a large increase in demand and production.

Under such monetary rules, it would have been impossible for the British Empire to come up with billions of pounds out of nothing to save the United States – although the demand created by the massive investments would have made the British bourgeoisie a fortune, and the industrial productivity generated by these investments would have allowed Britain to maintain its industrial dominance over China and France. But the issuance of too many unprepared pounds will definitely cause the holders of the pound to lose confidence...... Anyway, people's thinking in this era is like this, and they don't believe in unprepared banknotes!

So it's one thing for the United States of America to join the British Empire, it's another thing for the British Empire to integrate and make good use of the resources and population of the United States. And with Zhu Jishi's understanding of the cold-blooded and calculating aristocrats and capitalists in the British upper class, it may be difficult for them to do this job well. To know. The British don't even have a good integration of Ireland at their doorstep, so what else can they talk about integrating with the United States?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi smiled and said, "I have already thought about this matter many times in my heart. Before the outbreak of the North American War, I knew the wishful thinking of the British. In my view, the Anglo-American merger was the best way for Britain to make up for its small size and thin population. However, it will take a great deal of determination and perseverance to succeed, such as moving the capital to the New World and rebuilding a British Empire in the New World on the basis of the territories of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Canada. Once successful, the new homeland of the British Empire would have enough resources, industry, and population to sustain the entire empire. And. With the strength of the Kingdom of California and the Confederate States of America, it will not be able to resist the invasion of this Anglo-American dual empire in any way...... If I were to take control of Britain, I would not hesitate to focus on the New World. And temporarily abandon the Great Navy and build the Continental Army. After defeating the Confederate States and the Kingdom of California, seek world supremacy! ”

He spoke in one breath of a blueprint for the British Empire's long-term world domination. In his mind, the rulers of the British Empire should also know that this was the best means of maintaining their world hegemony - the United States plus Canada. Such a country is sure to dominate the world! Even if the British Empire loses all its possessions except the United States and Canada. At most, after twenty or thirty years of construction, they can still beat the whole world down. However, the British Empire in history never thought of leaving their broken islands to develop in the New World...... It seems that such great determination and perseverance are easy to say, but it is really difficult to do!

As Zhu Jishi spoke, he picked up the fragrant Gyokuro tea on the table, which was produced in Japan and paid tribute by the Imperial Court of the Kingdom of Japan. Zhu Jishi took a sip and seemed to sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, those elites in Japan now have such great determination. Abandoned the native. Thousands of miles away in South America, a new Japan three times the size of the mainland will surely become the hegemon of South America in the future! ”

The message that has just arrived from the Generalissimo's Office. The new Japanese Army has made a lot of money during this time. The front foot just wiped out Chile, and the back foot swept Argentina, and it has hit the outside of Buenos Aires! Now Napoleon III was anxious to make peace with the United States of America, and it was also related to the outstanding performance of the new Japanese Army. If there is not enough force to back it up, France will be deflated in South America!

Zhu Jishi took another sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and smiled: "I believe that Prince Albert and Prime Minister Palmerston also have such great determination. It's just that they are not heroes like me, and it is not easy to suppress dissent in the country. And...... I won't let them get their wish! ”

Hearing Emperor Zhu's words, except for Weng Tongxi, everyone felt that Zhu Jishi was a little bragging. What do Britain and the United States want to do without the approval of the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty can act on North America, which is nothing more than the Kingdom of California and hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces. But now neither France, nor Mexico, nor the Confederate States of America intend to fight any further. What can be accomplished with a single expeditionary force of 100,000 expeditionary forces? Moreover, the Ming Empire can also get 120 million pounds from the reparations of the United States of America, which is 360 million silver dollars! It is equivalent to more than seventy percent of the Ming Empire's annual income or 40% of the balance of the Ming national debt. How could it not be?

However, Zhu Jishi is really not slapping a swollen face and becoming fat. Now in the United States of America, there is indeed a bit of the Weimar Republic - it is not the right that dominates, but the left, which represents the working class, is also rising! To put it bluntly, the North American war was caused by the factory owners in the northern part of the United States who instructed Congress to raise tariffs by a large margin in order to make a fortune. Can the American working class not be angry now that the pain has been defeated and the American working class is at the expense of it? Therefore, the International Workingmen's Association led by Marx and Bakunin put the United States and Russia side by side as the next object to need help.

Of course, such a thing as a revolution is very expensive. This international workingmen's association did not have a few children in its pocket, so it turned to Zhu Jishi, the head of international reaction, for help through special channels. But Zhu Jishi didn't pay for a long time, not because he refused to give it...... Instead, they are waiting for the British to lend money to pay reparations to the United States! If the United States of America does not pay the reparations for a day, Zhu Jishi will not send money to the International Workingmen's Association for a day, for fear that they will really make a New York Commune or the American Soviet State, and Daming will have no place to ask for the 120 million pounds!

However, Zhu Jishi would not say these words to the ministers present, and now it is known that there is a secret connection between the Ming Emperor and the International Workers' Association. Clementina and the military advisor and minister of the Imperial Study, Weng Tongyong, who participated in the management of the Jinyi Guard, were just three people.

Zhu Jishi smiled slightly, and said to everyone: "Britain is destined not to get what you want, you don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements." He paused, "In addition, the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act by the United States cannot be regarded as a deaf ear, and we must retaliate." Zuo Xiang, Guo Qing, Miao Qing, Zeng Qing, you go back to the people of the Al-Shabaab to discuss and pass a "Exclusion Act" to prohibit goods from the United States of America from entering the Greater China Customs Union. Vessels from the United States of America are prohibited from calling at all ports in the Greater China Customs Union area. Diplomats of the United States of America are prohibited from entering all countries or territories of the Greater China Customs Union Zone. Well, that's pretty much it. ”

Hearing Zhu Jishi's will, several people agreed, got up and wanted to leave. Zhu Jishi greeted again: "Zeng Qing, and Weng Qing, you two stay for a while, and there are still some things to discuss." Zeng Guofan and Weng Tongyi glanced at each other, and then sat down again. Waiting for everyone else to quit. Zhu Jishicai said: "Zeng Qing, you have some acquaintances in Petersburg, right?" I want you to go there. ”

Zeng Guofan was stunned when he heard Zhu Jishi's words, and he also knew that Zhu Jishi was trying to create a relatively stable external environment recently, including easing relations with Russia. In fact, the space for the westward expansion of the Ming Dynasty is already very limited, and further west it will really hit the Ural Mountains. It's not that you can't get through. But how can Western Siberia compare to Australia and the South Seas? That is the next place for Daming to seize! Therefore, Zhu Jishi, after receiving the kindness released by Alexander II not long ago, also intends to respond. (To be continued.) )
