Of course, Zhu Jishi knew that Mathilde was helping the British as a lobbyist, and the price increase she proposed now must have been discussed with Prince Albert and Viscount Palmerston. The fact that the British are willing to make such an offer shows that they are determined to swallow the biggest fat piece of the American North into their stomachs!

But then again, the offer made by the British was so generous that it was hard to refuse - this country of their own sons roughly included California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Colorado in the United States, as well as parts of Wyoming, with a total area of nearly 230,000 square kilometers, almost the entire western United States! Not to mention how fertile the land is and how rich the resources are. It is now the largest gold producing region in the world! There was another large copper mine near Salt Lake City, and California in the United States was the world's first oil mining area......

The most valuable thing is that there are not many people in such a large area...... At present, California, the most populous state in the western United States, has only 7.8 million people. The total population of the western states and regions is estimated to be only 150,000, and the Chinese are at least 40,000 to 50,000, almost equal to the whites, and with a little effort, this 230,000 square kilometers of country can be dyed yellow! The land and resources of the western United States, coupled with tens of millions of hard-working Chinese, plus capital from France and the Ming Dynasty, can also arrange the best and most reasonable system.

But the question is, if Britain really gets the industry and population of the American North. Who else can shake the position of the first empire in this world? Even if Daming, France, and Mexico join forces...... Wrong. There was a Franco-Prussian War in history. Napoleon III seems to have been defeated, he himself became a prisoner of the Prussians, the Second French Empire also fell apart, and it is difficult to say whether Mathilde could keep her Mexican Empire at that time!

Seeing Emperor Zhu's unpleasant face, Mathilde thought that His Majesty the Emperor was not satisfied with the western territory of the United States, frowned, and said: "The British Prime Minister Viscount Palmerson also said that the ownership of the Sarawak Kingdom is not negotiable. If the Ming Empire could give King Brooke a fairly generous annuity and a princely title, the British government could persuade King Brooke to give his territory to the Ming Empire. ”

The Sarawak Kingdom was added as an addition, so that the Ming Dynasty could dominate Borneo. But Emperor Zhu's brows were still tightly wrinkled and he didn't say a word.

Mathilde's complexion is also a little ugly - she, a mother, is heartbroken for her son's future, and finally won the best "chosen country" for her son, why is Zhu Jishi, a father, so careless?

"Jason, we can't help the American South win without Britain!" Mathilde's tone had been lowered, "Aside from blacks, there are only more than 6oo people in the American South. The northern United States has a population of more than 2ooo people. The industrial power is also overwhelmingly superior to the North, and the North of the United States also controls the federal navy. In the event of war, they will choke the south from the naval blockade...... Unless the British Navy intervenes! ”

"Great Britain...... How are you going to interfere? Direct troops? Zhu Jishi asked with some uncertainty. How are they going to swallow the American North? Sending troops to occupy? Or is it what peaceful way to use? ”

"Sending troops? Hmph, these Brits aren't stupid! Mathilde rubbed Emperor Zhu's shoulder and hummed, "They only plan to use the trade embargo and economic and material support for the South to deal with the North of the United States. The responsibility for sending troops was the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty, France and Mexico...... France will send at least 1o thousand volunteers, who are already on their way to Mexico - in the name of attacking Guatemala. ”

Mexico's "long-term inability to attack" in Guatemala is really an excuse! Zhu Jishi calculated in his heart, 10,000 French volunteers, 50,000 Mexican Foreign Legion...... This is an elite of veterans who participated in the war against Russia, and if they had joined the South at the beginning, they might have been able to defeat the North!

"How many troops does Da Ming need to send?" Zhu Jishi asked thoughtfully.

Mathilde I confidently said: "1o thousand! It was also dispatched in the name of supporting the Central American war, nominally 50,000, which could be immediately shipped to Mexico. After waiting for the southern part of the United States** and sending an invitation to Mexico, he marched into the southern part of the United States in the name of the Mexican army with the French Volunteers and the Mexican Foreign Legion! The French 6th Military Department estimates that the South of the United States itself can still mobilize 250,000 troops, so that there will be 5o troops available, so that in a maximum of 12 months, we will be able to win the war and divide the United States into three! ”

"5o million army...... It should require a lot of military spending, right? "Emperor Zhu doesn't believe that he can defeat the northern part of the United States with such a few people! In the Civil War in history, the total number of casualties on both sides was probably calculated in millions, right?

"Of course, the military expenses will be borne by the defeated side." Mathilde smiled, "Jason, you don't have to worry about money at all, British and French banks can buy war bonds in the American South and Mexico...... This has been said, 5o billion gold francs can be raised! When we defeat the American North, we will ask them to pay compensation, at least 1oo billion gold francs! When the time comes, we will be able to pay off our debts with interest, and we will be able to earn a sum of money to open Juan's Kingdom of California. ”

The corners of Zhu Jishi's mouth hooked, revealing a sarcastic wry smile, Mathilde's woman's wishful thinking is really good...... To make the North of the United States lose 1oo0 million gold francs, well, that's almost 400 million pounds! Don't want the Americans' own lives? Sensei said that it was the North of the United States after the defeat of the Civil War, and that is, the United States is now unified to come up with this money, which is estimated to be enough!

……

Just when Zhu Jishi and the Empress of Mexico were bathing together, discussing the shocking conspiracy of carving up the United States by the way. Inside the British Navy fort at Pearl Harbor, there are also two people who don't sleep at night, secretly trying to make the American North return to the embrace of the British Empire!

"An army of 5o thousand fought for 12 months...... Haha, the French are always optimistic, Napoleon is like that, Napoleon III and the female Napoleon of Mexico are equally overly optimistic! But...... Dispatching 1oo0,000 troops to fight for 24 months will definitely be able to turn the American North into ruins! ”

Speaking is Viscount Palmerston, one of the most evil and insidious in English history, oh, I am afraid there is no one in this time and space.

"How much does that cost? £500 million or £600 million? Prince Albert took a cup of coffee and silently calculated.

"It doesn't matter how much it costs." Palmerston shrugged, "British manufacturing needs a market, and war is the best customer!" And our banks can also make a profit, first lend money to the South of the United States and Mexico, and wait for them to win, and then go to the North to ask for compensation! I reckon Mathilde's wives will be able to shout out a demand for 2oo billion gold francs! ”

"That's it...... £800 million? Albert rolled his eyes, "Even if you sell the North of the United States, you can't afford to lose it!" ”

Palmerston shook his head and said seriously: "Your Highness, in fact, the British Empire is willing to pay 1o billion pounds to buy the northern part of the United States!" Because it's an absolute bargain! As long as we can buy back the American North, the British Empire can dominate the world for another 2oo years! A year's world hegemony is only 5oo million pounds, and there is a better deal in the world? ”

Yes, buy back the American North! This is the wishful thinking of the British...... Let the Ming Dynasty, France, Mexico and the South of the United States send troops to fight the North of the United States, while Britain hides behind and gives out money and equipment, and after the fight, when the North of the United States is ravaged and the poor and white are still saddled with astronomical reparations, they will "buy", no matter how many pounds they will pay! As long as the world hegemony is in hand, money is just a number! (To be continued......)
