Chapter 1447: Once Rome Collapses

readx;?β€œ After all, King Donghua is only in his twenties, not much older than Zizhong! ”

Hearing Zhu Guoxiong's reason, Shi Dakai smiled: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, King Donghua is different from Prince Zhong, King Donghua has led troops to fight since he was eighteen years old, and has fought more than a dozen battles so far, has endured hardships, fought hard battles, and commanded an army of 1.2 million troops, and there is King Guishan (Han Si) by his side, it should not be bad."

"Should?!" Zhu Guoxiong's face became even more gloomy.

"Moreover, Caesar Mathilde I of the Roman Empire is the biological mother of the King of Donghua, and the Roman legions that originally belonged to the Mexican Empire will obey Mathilde's orders, at least a million people. Among them are also several quite elite foreign legions. Once the king of Donghua was at a disadvantage, Mathilde I would not ignore it. ”

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhu Guoxiong is not at ease! But now I can't say it explicitly.

"Of course I know, but I have to plan for everything. In case of an accident in the Americas, can the base camp have a way to deal with it? ”

"There is also an urgent plan for the base camp to send another 400,000 troops to North America in the next two months, but this will affect the Australian campaign." Shi Dakai looked at Zhu Guoxiong with some embarrassment, "Australia needs these 400,000 soldiers to fight ......"

Zhu Guoxiong also sighed helplessly, temporarily letting go of his worries about Juan, "Australia is the biggest piece of fat, no matter what, it will be eaten in the mouth, and there must be no mistakes." You can't be like the Indian Army anymore. ”

"Please rest assured that the emperor is the commander of the South China Front this time is Shi Zhenji, who is a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time. There will be no loss. Shi Dakai hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.

Zhu Guoxiong nodded. I just wanted to ask again about the situation of the South China Front. An elderly staff officer hurriedly came with a telegram, "Your Majesty, Shi Shuai, an urgent telegram from the North American Army." ”

Shi Dakai took the telegram and looked at it, and his thick eyebrows were twisted.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Guoxiong asked, "Could it be that there is a loophole in the deployment of the North American Army?" ”

'The battle hasn't been fought yet, and you won't know if there is a loophole!' Shi Da said happily, "This Emperor Xuanwu really doesn't know how to fight at all!" ’

"Your Majesty. It is not a question of the deployment of the North American Army. Shi Dakai respectfully handed the telegram to Zhu Guoxiong with both hands, "It was Napoleon IV and Mathilde who asked Juan to arrange counterinsurgency matters." ”

"Counterinsurgency?" Zhu Guoxiong was stunned for a moment, "Where is Ping's rebellion?" ”

"Brazil, there has just been a coup d'Γ©tat in Brazil, and the military took advantage of King Pedro's trip to Rome to launch a sudden coup d'Γ©tat and declare Brazil a republic." Shi Dakai frowned and said, "Now the Roman Empire has sent kings and other important people in the Americas to Rome to participate in the celebration of the founding of the empire. Only the king of Donghua was in the Americas, so Napoleon IV and Mathilde I wanted the king of Donghua to make a move......"

"King Donghua agreed?" Zhu Guoxiong didn't wait for Shi Dakai to finish speaking, and immediately asked.

"Donghua King is ready to leave for Mexico City......"

"Confused!" Zhu Guoxiong's face was gloomy, "The Roman Empire was originally meant to be dismantled. Now that the republican situation in Brazil is not in line with our minds, why does he still have to help Napoleon IV to quell the chaos? What if the North American war is delayed again? ”

Shi Dakai thought for a moment. I think that's the case, Jujuan is really a bit unauthentic. "Your Majesty, do you want to ask the Emperor Taishang?"

Zhu Guoxiong thought about it for a while, and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll go to the Hot Spring Palace to see the Emperor." Shi Qing, you can go with me. ”

The distance between the Forbidden City and the hot spring town of Nanjing is 38 kilometers, and it takes three or four hours to get there by horse-drawn carriage. However, a railway has already been laid between the two places, and a special train is ready for Zhu Jishi and Zhu Guoxiong to use at any time.

In less than an hour, Zhu Guoxiong and Shi Dakai appeared in the Wude Hall of the Hot Spring Palace - the combat command center here has not been removed, and the latest battle report received by the wartime headquarters will also be immediately reported here for Zhu Jishi to know. So what Zhu Guoxiong knows, Zhu Jishi already knows.

"Emperor, what are you going to do?" Of course, Zhu Jishi knew his son's intention, so he asked questions first.

"Father, the sons and daughters feel that it is really inappropriate for the king of Donghua to be the commander of the two countries." Zhu Guoxiong told the truth, the relationship between him and Zhu Jishi is probably the best between the emperors of all dynasties and the Emperor Taishang, right?

"Juan's situation is truly exceptional." Zhu Jishi said, "Donghua also has its particularity, which is the product of the marriage between my Ming Dynasty and the Bonaparte Dynasty. ”

Zhu Guoxiong frowned slightly, 'Marriage! The father actually used this word to denote his relationship with Mathilde! ’

"After all, Mathilde is Juan's mother, and she is also the mother of Donghua, and she is also the first-class mother in the world!" Zhu Jishi said eloquently, but his face was very calm, and he didn't seem to care at all.

In fact, this kind of thing has long been expected by him. The biggest difference between Donghua and other Chinese countries is that this country was not founded by Zhu Jishi, but by him and Mathilde, and before this world war, it was still under the name of the Mexican Empire. Therefore, the authority of the king Zhu Juan in Donghua is far greater than the authority of most Chinese kings in their respective countries, and probably only the new Japanese king Tokugawa Ieyuki has a comparison with him.

In addition, Mathilde and Jujuan are mother and son. And Zhu Jishi is using himself more as an illegitimate child...... Juan is not a fool, so he naturally knows who is sincere to him. Now that Mathilde is in trouble, how could he not come out?

"Father, but the North American war is coming!" Zhu Guoxiong was still a little unwilling.

"Don't worry about the North American war," Zhu Jishi waved his hand, "Let's all retreat!" ”

Hearing his words, including Shi Dakai Zainei, they all withdrew from the Wude Palace, the palace of Nuoda, and now only Zhu Jishi and Zhu Guoxiong remain.

"Emperor, are you worried that Juan will inherit Mathilde's throne in the future?"

"Erchen is really worried." Zhu Guoxiong said, "In this way, North America is very likely to be controlled by the Hu Security Department!" ”

The main titles now held by Mathilde are Caesar of the Roman Empire, Consul of the Western Empire, Queen of the Kingdom of Mississippi, Grand Duchess of the Grand Duchy of Texas, and Regent of the Kingdom of New France. Among them, the Kingdom of Mississippi and the Grand Duchy of Texas were not members of the Roman Empire, and their heirs were Juan, which would definitely be incorporated into Donghua in the future.

What was really worrying was that Juan received from his mother Caesar of the Roman Empire and the consulship of the Western Empire after the collapse of the Eastern Empire (the European and African parts) of the Roman Empire. This is very likely, because the little Bonapartes who ruled Latin America were not armed themselves, but relied on the power of the Roman Empire - that is, the military power of the Roman Empire in Europe and the armies of the Indians and Indo-European people of the Kingdom of Mexico. The former, of course, is the main one and is currently in the hands of Napoleon IV. And the latter was not King Henry of Mexico. Bonaparte had the final say, but was under Mathilde's control.

Once the Eastern Empire of the Roman Empire collapsed, the remaining Bonapartas would have to rely on Mathilde's army...... And their cousin Jujuan's Donghua army! This time, Mathilde put Jujuan in charge of quelling the rebellion in Brazil, probably to establish his prestige in the Mexican army, right?

Zhu Guoxiong continued: "Erchen is not worried that Juan will covet Erchen's position, but North America is really a chosen country, and once it is unified by Juan, I am afraid it will cause the division of the Great Chinese Empire......"

"It's not that easy." Zhu Jishi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "There are more whites than Chinese in North America, and it won't change for at least a few decades." Juan wouldn't fail to understand this, and he wouldn't take Mexico's army too seriously. He looked at his son and said, "Emperor, you and Juan are brothers, and his attention is in North America, so there is no conflict with you." For Juan...... Don't give up on your good intentions, get it? ”

"Erchen understood." Zhu Guoxiong knew his father's thoughts, and he didn't say anything anymore, and bowed and withdrew. In the entire hall, only Zhu Jishi was left, silently watching the situation of heavy troops on the North American battlefield on the sand table.

……

"Han Shuai, the affairs of Brazil will not be delayed for too long, I will go back as soon as I go, and it will not be delayed for a few days."

At the same time, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in North America, in the North American Army Headquarters in the city of Lordan Province, there were also two people standing in front of the large sand table and talking in a low voice.

"King, are you really going to Mexico? The Great War is about to begin. "It is Han Si, the king of Guishan of the Ming Dynasty, who is now the chief of staff of the North American Army. However, he, the chief of staff, is actually a name, and it is Yang Xien, the deputy chief of staff, who really does things.

"If you don't go, you can't do it." Jujuan shook his head, "The affairs of Brazil have just started, and there is still a possibility of quickly extinguishing them, if you don't do it in time, Henry's Brazilian king will be in ruins." Moreover, revolution in Latin America is contagious, and if there is a disturbance in other places, will my mother still have the strength to support Donghua? The Roman Empire was going to fall apart, and it could only scatter half of the east! The Western Empire is to be maintained no matter what...... As for the offensive, it will not begin until after the autumn harvest, and it is still too late. ”

There are also some things that Jujuan did not speak to Han Si, and in the telegram that Mathilde had promised that when things in Brazil were settled, he would let Henry. Bonaparte went to Brazil to be king, and Mathilde would take the throne of Mexico. Because Mathilde's Western Empire was to be based in Mexico City, it was only natural that he would also serve as king of Mexico...... And this time, instead of appointing someone else as the crown prince of Mexico, she will give the throne of Mexico to Juan or one of Juan's sons in due course. That's why Juan was so enthusiastic to help his cousin Henry. Bonaparte. (To be continued.) )
