Chapter 134: Cuba, Don't Give It for Nothing! Emperor, if you don't do it, you won't do it?
Smack! Crash!
Urged by the sea breeze, the blue water violently crashed against the ancient city walls, turning into white foam, as if washing away centuries of buildings.
Li Mengyang climbed this fortress that looked majestic and majestic before, and overlooked the whole of Havana, Piazza del Duomo, Piazza San Francisco, the castle of the Royal Army, the castle of San Salvador...... Coupled with the Moreau Castle under your feet, these buildings are very large, majestic, and solid, and you can see the prosperity of Havana and the glory of the Spaniards from these buildings!
It's just that the current Spaniards have declined, Napoleon invaded Spain, which made the country lose its original pride, and the independence movement in South America made Spain even worse.
Li Mengyang knows something, these Spanish guys are originally pirates, real pirates, that is, they dare to break through and dare to do things, but they can't keep the things they robbed, that is, it is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to defend the country, and the Spaniards don't understand this......
It's really embarrassing, and now, this qiē has been trampled under my feet by Li Mengyang!
Even, we don't have to be uncommon with her!
"I really can't see through you, why would you take Havana and not take it for yourself? Cespedes' individuals are simply a rabble, and the revolutionary army can easily drive those people out into the sea if you want. Sue me for what? "Yelena is getting confused about Clint. What the hell is this guy Lee thinking, it is obviously a matter with huge interests, and taking Havana is actually equivalent to taking Cuba. This place is very rich. It really made a lot of money for the Spaniards. How else could there be so many majestic buildings?
Elena had long identified Clint. Lee is a dictator, so will a dictator turn a blind eye to the meat in front of his eyes?
Originally, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, there was a beauty on the other hand, which was a great joy in life, but this beauty didn't seem to be so easy to deal with.
"Yelena, let's take a good look at the scenery." Facing Elena's question. Li Mengyang didn't explain much at all, he still focused on something else, this time he shifted his gaze to the north, from Morrow Castle, you can even see Florida, but there is still a small fishing village over there.
"Don't be perfunctory!" Yelena was a little angry.
"Okay." Li Mengyang had no choice but to sigh, "Our revolutionary army is here to liberate the Cuban people, and our revolutionary army is the representative of the spirit of internationalism, for the independence and freedom of the Cuban people, and even for the South American people to break free from the colonial rule of the European powers." We ......"
"Shit!" Elena didn't want to hear Clint any more because it was so unnutritious.
"Do you have to force me to tell the truth?" Li Mengyang was a little helpless.
"When did this become like this between us?" Yelena is actually helpless. She had always felt that she didn't care much about talking to Clint, but now, I should say, it was different in New York!
"Trust me, I haven't changed." Li Mengyang felt that such a conversation seemed to only exist between lovers, but now that the two of them said this, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
"Proof!" Yelena is just such a thing, proof!
"Well, I'll be honest, if I could, I really wanted to take Havana for myself! Are you satisfied? ”
Li Mengyang finally opened the skylight and said something bright, but there was not much joy on Yelena's face.
"Why?" Short and forceful.
Li Mengyang is not hiding it at the moment, "Because of the cost!" ”
"Cost?" Elena said she didn't understand.
"It's the cost." Li Mengyang smiled slightly, "How good Cuba is, how profitable the local products here are, I naturally want to take it." But I also know very well that our revolutionary army does not have the ability to control this place. Maybe what you are looking at now is that our army swept through Havana, but it was because there was Cespedes! Don't underestimate people, this person is Cuban after all, and his ancestors are not Spaniards? If they want to be independent, they will naturally have the support of the Cuban people, but if we occupy this place, then what are we? Aren't we more hated than the Spaniards? At least the people are still the same roots, and most of our boats are Irish......"
What Li Mengyang said is all the truth, and it is also an unfavorable factor for seizing Cuba at this time, to put it simply, that is, if the revolutionary army wants to control Cuba, then the revolutionary army will not want to leave!
Don't look at the strength of the revolutionary army, but there are definitely more Cubans than your revolutionary army, and they don't want to see the Spaniards of the same race, which onion is your revolutionary army?
It is entirely conceivable that once the revolutionary army occupies Cuba, even if it is defeated, it will face endless resistance movements, riots of all kinds, and possibly even terrorist attacks.
So this nearly 20,000 people are estimated to be not enough to see, Li Mengyang is a traverser, he has seen too many examples like this, are the American GIs of later generations powerful? Is it okay that they are not the same in Iraq? Isn't Afghanistan also caught in the ocean of people's war?
That cost, in trillions of dollars!
Besides, what does Cuba have to offer?
Famous are cigars, cane sugar, corn, fruits, coffee...... This is all agricultural products, and has been living on these things, although there has been a good life, but this shows that this place can not develop industry at all, there is no such condition!
It's the industrial age, isn't it because of Havana's decline?
Moreover, Li Mengyang's destination is California, and to go deeper, he actually wants to develop industry, because in this era, only the development of industry can make a head, otherwise why would he take people like Kelvin as if they were kidnapped?
Therefore, in this way, it is really not cost-effective to want to take Cuba for yourself, and I am afraid that you will not be able to go to California!
In addition, there is an important reason.
“…… We are now a revolutionary army, although it was a revolution in New York. But I don't think the old men of the American Confederate have a good opinion of us. And if we can get on good terms with Cuban independence revolutionaries like Céspedes. We're going to do some business with each other after that day. Or do business with the American South or something, then it's all easy. ”
The United States is a rightist country!
Li Mengyang had already thought about the future, and when this guy came to Cuba, he noticed that this island country is very close to Florida in the United States.
But not ......
"You're so confident? That Cespedes will be able to make Cuba independent? "Although the most important thing in Cuba is Havana, there are many other regions after all. There are armed forces too.
It's just that Yelena's words at this time are more of a worry, and unconsciously, she seems to be starting to replace Clint again. Li thought about it.
"Haha......" Li Mengyang naturally felt funny when he heard it, but this is a good thing, but he can't laugh too much, so he immediately said: "I don't have confidence in him, I have confidence in me!" ”
"......," Yelena thought at this time. It seems that this man in front of him, since he led the army to war. Not a single defeat!
Yes, Li Mengyang naturally has confidence in himself, he can mention some simple combat skills of Cespedes, such as digging a trench or something, don't underestimate this matter, now the US military will not do it, let alone the Spaniards, they are still so weak at this time, so Cuban independence is simply a sure thing!
At this point, Yelena had already accepted Li Mengyang's explanation, but her brows still did not stretch, and she only heard her say: "Clint, you are already very powerful now, can you not be the emperor." ”
In terms of tone, it seems to be asking, but it also contains the meaning of longing, or even pleading.
Li Mengyang felt a lot at this moment, he understood Yelena's thoughts, Yelena is a progressive woman in this era, such a person supports democracy and freedom, and the word 'emperor' is definitely the biggest enemy of democracy and freedom......
"Hey~" Li Mengyang sighed, and then said: "It's not that I want to be the emperor, that Liszt was not arranged by me, and this qiē is not my original intention!" ”
Li Mengyang said very sincerely, he really didn't arrange anything, he really didn't think of being an emperor at first, but when Liszt shouted out, and many people knelt down on one knee in front of him, Li Mengyang suddenly realized that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to reverse the situation.
However, Yelena didn't think so, she took a step closer, grabbed Li Mengyang's hand and stared at him and said, "As long as you don't want to be, wouldn't that be fine?" If you don't do it, who can force you? Your right now is the greatest, so why should you be the emperor? ”
"Hehe......" At this moment, Li Mengyang saw Yelena's innocence, because of this matter, is it okay if he doesn't want to?
Revolution is divided into left, center and right, so when the revolution is carried out, the more radical it is, the more popular it is, because all people want to be better.
That's right, that's the word 'more'!
In fact, many things are the same as the revolution, everyone wants to 'do more', and now, Li Mengyang has led the revolutionary army to a series of brilliant victories, so everyone hopes that he can be 'more ......'
So, what is the pinnacle of power?
It's the Emperor!
Li Mengyang knows very well that even if there is no Liszt, then there may be Zhang Szt, Liu Szt, Sun Szt, anyway, there will always be such a person who will push you forward further, and he will also get benefits in it.
There are too many such examples in history, such as Wang Mang and Napoleon, there are too many...... Li Mengyang knew that he couldn't reverse it, especially in this era, the king was still there.
And most importantly, he is Chinese! It's an absolute minority, can he say no?
Yelena shed tears, I don't know why, she seems to have experienced Li Mengyang's mood at this time.
Li Mengyang stretched out his hand to help her wipe it off, and then said with a smile: "I promise you, even if you become an emperor, it will be a different emperor!" ”
Smack! Crash!
The waves in the Caribbean are fiercer...... (To be continued......)
