Guys, can you give Rolls-Royce another monthly pass?

Fort Maria, meeting room.

Standing in this solemn place, it is natural that Wu Chunqiu, the chamberlain of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ambassador to the United States, is a courtier with a low official position and does not belong to any faction, but here in Zhu Jishi, he is extremely trustworthy and proficient in international affairs.

"This is an opportunity not to be missed. This is a turning point in the rise of the country, supporting the black riots in the United States can lead to internal strife in the United States, even if the riots do not succeed, it will make the black problem a problem that needs to be solved urgently, which will mean at least $2 billion in spending, in this economic crisis now, the North and the South of the United States will definitely quarrel, and maybe it will cause the South to break away from the Union! As long as the United States is divided into two, the future world will definitely be led by the Ming Dynasty! ”

Listening to him, Zuo Zongtang, who was in a red robe and black yarn, let out an "oh" and said softly: "What does Wu Shilang mean, if I miss this opportunity, I will be suppressed by the United States for the rest of my life?" Asked by Zuo Zongtang so clearly, Wu Chunqiu hesitated a little and muttered: "Judging from the development of the US economy in the past 10 years, it can be said that the United States is an opponent with considerable potential...... Land, population, resources, industrial base, and education are all very good, but once they are developed, they are a great threat...... Of course, our Ming Dynasty's potential is not weak, and if we fail to take advantage of this opportunity to split the United States, there will certainly be a situation in which China and the United States will compete for hegemony in the world in the future. Listening to his very positive analysis, Zuo Zongtang and Luo Zenan both frowned a little, the United States has great potential, and they also know it, but the current hegemon is the United Kingdom! If America really collapses. Isn't China the first thing Britain contains? Zuo Zongtang glanced at Zhu Jishi, who was sitting upright. There was no expression on his face.

"Your Majesty. The British Empire is the current hegemon in the world, and if it cannot maintain relations with Britain, it will be extremely detrimental to the future development of the Ming Dynasty! "It was the military advisor Weng Tongyi who spoke, since he was a military advisor, he naturally had to give Emperor Zhu advice and ideas. Just as Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, Luo Zenan, the right minister, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the external actions of our dynasty." It must be based on the Quad Agreement! Now that the United States is preparing to join this agreement, Britain, France, and Mexico have all nodded their heads, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has agreed to the United States membership in exchange for the United States recognition of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Under such circumstances, our brazen support for the black riots in the United States will lose its international credibility! In the future, it will be difficult for us to make friends internationally! ”

Wu Chunqiu immediately retorted: "Then our dynasty will not agree to the United States' accession to the alliance!" Should this opportunity be missed because of a four-nation agreement? The opportunity to cause chaos in the United States is not always available! And France and Mexico will never oppose us, and Britain will also want the United States to split! At least until the United States was divided in two, Britain, France and Mexico were our friends! ”

Although Li Wen'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the leader of the Huai Party in the imperial court, he has a good gentleman's temperament, and he is a little unacceptable to see Wu Chunqiu confronting Luo Zenan like this. Well, coughing, Yuanchang said: "Diplomatic matters need to be carefully considered. The road to the prestige of our country in the world is a long one, and Britain is also wary of us, especially for actions outside the East Asian continent, and it is necessary to obtain Britain's understanding and cooperation. Otherwise, our actions are likely to lead to a union of Britain and the United States to counter the expansion of our national prestige. At that time, we will face total passivity! And on the issue of black Americans, we should also consider the wishes of Britain and not act rashly. ”

Wu Chunqiu snorted: "Now it's not about going to war with the United States, nor is it about supporting the division of the southern part of the United States, it's just to create some trouble for the United States and make the situation in their country more turbulent." Such a thing is simply a conspiracy that cannot be seen in the dark, where can we get the understanding of the British? It's okay to do it quietly, I don't even need to come forward, let the Mexicans support the black Americans with some weapons, and then make a big mess! ”

Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Americans didn't think of such a possibility? They deported 4 million blacks to the U.S.-Mexico border, I'm afraid they also have ulterior motives, right? Once those blacks are armed, only God knows whether they will go south or north. ”

The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly fell silent, and Zhu Jishi was also thinking hard there, the current historical development has changed beyond recognition, and only God knows whether the American Civil War will break out as scheduled. And, according to the information compiled from various sources, black Americans are extremely hateful to the Chinese - because it is the entry of the Chinese that squeezes out their slave status...... What a strange thinking! But it seems to be true. Once these 4 million blacks are armed and brought out of the temporary resettlement sites, perhaps the first to be unlucky will be the Chinese in the southern United States, right? Wu Chunqiu still seems to be inconsiderate. However, the concentration of 4 million blacks in the United States is indeed an opportunity to make trouble. You should take advantage of it anyway.

Thinking of this, he knocked lightly on the table and said in a low voice: "There is still a need to carry out secret work on the United States, but the size must be grasped well...... The support for the black man-made reaction is too big and unlikely to succeed. But it's okay to support them to make trouble, Zuo Xiang, Luo Xiang, what do you think? ”

Zuo Zongtang frowned: "What's the trouble?" Like the Chartist Movement in Britain or the 1.20 Imperial City Square Incident? ”

Why does this sound so weird? Emperor Zhu glanced at Zuo Zongtang, and then said: "Anyway, don't come forward, just don't make a big fuss...... If someone in the north of the United States wants to make a fuss, just make a small fuss. Otherwise, it's useless to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. ”

Zuo Zongtang took a breath and said in a deep voice: "The budget of the imperial court is limited, and there is no money allocated for the United States, the emperor, do you want to take some silver from the royal consortium?" ”

Zhu Jishi has long been prepared for this issue: "The secret work against the United States includes many aspects...... The economy, industry, internal affairs, immigration, when did the cabinet pay for the money? In this way, the money that supports the black people in the United States to make trouble will go from Europe. Well, we need to set up a World Progress Foundation to intervene in other countries' affairs. But...... You have to find the right person to put on the table. ”

World Progress Foundation ...... Sounds like progress! It's just that there are too many reactionaries in this world, and I'm afraid they don't like progressive things, so it's better to find a hated white man and put it on the table.

Zhu Jishi did not seek the opinions of the ministers present, and they did not know such progressives. He pondered and said, "In addition, Mathilde I must come forward and set up a Royal Mexican Shipping Company to acquire a large number of American-registered ships, which will reach 500 ships by 1861." ”

"Your Majesty, this is also against the United States?" Zuo Zongtang asked with a frown.

"No, it's not." Zhu Jishi simply shook his head and denied it, "This is what I left to Bonapart...... In addition, it is also used to develop the new Japan, and the new Japanese ruler is also my son after all, so I can't ignore it, right? ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded and didn't speak. This is a royal matter, and it is also royal silver, and it is inconvenient for the cabinet to take care of it.

"Spring and Autumn, don't meddle in the affairs of black people. But you are responsible for liaison with Mexico, and you are the ambassador of Mexico, and you can't stay in the United States all the time. This time you will go directly to Mexico City and talk to the Empress about the Royal Mexican Shipping Company, I will personally invest 10 million pounds to build a larger company, and the general manager will also be sent by me, and the shares of the company will be placed in the name of the Duke of Bonapart, but until he is 25 years old, he will not participate in the management of the company, nor will he be allowed to sell his shares, nor will he be allowed to use the company's dividends. ”

Wu Chunqiu stood up and bowed, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, and began to ponder the "World Progress Foundation" in his mind again, this kind of thing must be hidden! You can't do it without a solid person. It seems that he can only trouble his imperial concubine Maria. Clementina is out. Let her accompany Luo Xiangju to Europe in the name of attending the wedding ceremony of Zhu Guojie and Princess Helena, so that no one will be suspicious. (To be continued......)
