It is known that the United States is expanding westward, and for this they carefully prepared a pretext to declare war on Mexico. The Mexican army, which did not allow the Americans to fail, was quickly defeated by them, and in four months the capital was lost. At present, the American government is actively preparing for negotiations with the Mexican government. After the military strike, it is time to negotiate with the government, and the benefits of the US military victory will be clearly defined through the way of negotiation. However, at this last moment, the Chinese Empire intervened. The Mexicans sold the land in northern Mexico to the Chinese Empire at an extremely low price, and those lands are the meat of the mouth of the United States! Now, the cooked ducks have all flown off.

The U.S. government has been preparing for this expansion for a long time. In the end, it became such a situation, and the reaction can be imagined. If the Chinese Empire does this, it is completely equivalent to slapping them in the face!

The whole Western world was also stirred by this, after all, this was another expansion of the Chinese Empire, or did it cross the Pacific Ocean and expand directly in the direction of the New World. More importantly, the Chinese Empire is now fighting against the Manchus and Russia! Although, the Chinese Empire had already won a decisive victory in this war. However, Russia will certainly not rest on its laurels. It is foreseeable that Russia will continue to fight against the Chinese Empire for a long time to come. It was not so easy for the Chinese Empire to defeat Russia. If you don't know it, you will be defeated by Russia. Under these circumstances, the Chinese empire still wants to provoke the United States. This is simply the rhythm of looking for death! Did the Chinese Empire really think they were strong enough to win two wars at the same time?

Britain was very pleased with this expansion of the Chinese Empire. The expansion of the Chinese Empire into North America meant that British India was once again safe. No matter how arrogant the Chinese Empire is, it will never open a third front after opening two fronts at the same time. After all. In that case, it would have completely surpassed the national strength of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire were to lose the war, perhaps Britain would have a chance to fall into the trap. They will be able to snatch back the benefits they had lost before from the new hands of the Chinese Empire.

To this end, British Prime Minister Edward . Smith. Stanley convened the British Cabinet ministers to discuss the matter. Eventually, the British Cabinet decided that Britain would remain neutral. In fact, Britain just doesn't want to say too soon. I want to wait until the situation is clear before making a decision, so that I can have more room to maneuver. However, given the British relationship with the Chinese Empire. and the potential threat of the Chinese Empire to the British Empire. The British position is actually biased in favor of the United States. Although the British did not have a good relationship with the United States. As a British colony, the United States suffered heavy losses after independence. However, China is a greater threat in comparison. Britain was very happy that the Chinese Empire would be in North America. That's the case. Favorable for the future British war against China.

Other than that. The British Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Granville, also mentioned that Britain could provide some assistance to the United States and Russia, which was fighting against the Chinese Empire, such as war loans and weapons, to help the two countries defeat the Chinese Empire. In this case, Britain will have a chance to fall into the ground. Britain has been in the hands of the Chinese Empire several times, which has made Britain, as the world hegemon, very faceless and has lost a lot of interests. If there's a chance to get it back, that's the best thing.

Except for the UK. France's attitude is more **. Charles who had just taken control of France Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte was very jealous. The Chinese Empire actually bought 2.3 million square kilometers of land for 22.8 million Chinese dollars. In francs, it is just over 140 million francs. In terms of the financial resources of France. This money can also be taken out lightly. France covers an area of just over 500,000 square kilometers. The fact that they were able to seize more than four times the size of the mainland at once made the French very jealous.

Of course, the Chinese Empire had already reached an agreement with Mexico and signed an agreement, and even if France wanted to break it, it would have to weigh it carefully. France and the Chinese Empire were allies after all, and without the assistance of the Chinese Empire, they would have to bear the enormous pressure of Britain alone. In addition, several 'Western Zhou-class' warships ordered by France from the Chinese Empire are still under intense construction and have not been delivered. If France dares to make trouble on this issue, if the Chinese Empire does not deliver those few warships, won't France lose a lot?

However, Charles. Bonaparte, however, set his sights on Louisiana, which Napoleon the Great had sold to the Americans. That's more than 800,000 square kilometers of land, and it was sold for only 80 million francs. If you can redeem it, that's good. As a result, the French government began to operate actively, intending to regain this territory. However, this was rejected by the American side. The Americans bought Louisiana and had already digested it. The French wanted to redeem it, but there was no way at all. This made the French side very dissatisfied with the United States. Shire. Bonaparte even planned that if war broke out between the Chinese Empire and the United States, France would be willing to join the Chinese Empire in sending troops to the United States. After defeating the United States, they will take back the land that they sold cheaply, and make the Americans pay for it.

The Kingdom of Prussia, another European power, did not say anything about this. They had just defeated the Kingdom of Denmark and recaptured two states that had been controlled by Denmark. Now efforts were underway to unify the northern regions of the German Empire, as well as to prepare for war against Austria. There's no time for anything else. For this expansion of the Chinese Empire, they can only watch with envy.

When Tsar Nicholas I heard the news, he laughed even more. In any case, the Chinese Empire dared to expand into North America while fighting Russia, which simply did not know whether to live or die, which would make the Chinese Empire fall faster. Of course, the arrogant Nicholas I did not think that a weak United States could contain many of the Chinese Empire's troops. He had always believed that relying on the strength of the Russian Empire alone would be enough to defeat the Chinese Empire.

The common people of the Chinese Empire learned about this from the Imperial Daily and other big newspapers. After the signing of the agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire and Mexico, the major newspapers reported on it, but as the mouthpiece of the Empire, they naturally did positive coverage. Although 22.8 million Chinese dollars is a huge amount of money, it is nothing compared to 2.3 million square kilometers of land. This is equivalent to buying a square kilometer of land for less than 10 yuan. Even if it's a wasteland, it's definitely more than that! What's more, many of the territories bought by the Chinese Empire could be used for planting and grazing.

More than 2 million square kilometers of land, if you want to immigrate, you can immigrate more than 10 million, which is how important it is for the common people of the empire who have a deep attachment to the land from the bottom of their bones! Some people who missed the opportunity to migrate because of their previous hesitation are gearing up this time and want to start signing up as soon as the government starts organizing immigration. Although life in China is much better now, it is worse than those immigrants overseas. For those immigrants from overseas, each person was given fifty acres of land. And the common people in China can't share so much at all. Coupled with the empire's continuous victories in foreign wars over the years, the eyes of the common people have also broadened, and they no longer regard immigration as a matter of death. Naturally, everyone is more active about immigration.

Of course, there was opposition in the empire. Some believe that the empire is now in the midst of a war for unification and should not make enemies everywhere. Even if you want to expand into the North American continent, you should wait until you unify and defeat the Russians. Some people who have a grudge against the empire even claim that the empire is completely reckless in doing so, and that one day it will perish because of the constant creation of enemies. Of course, these voices were too small relative to mainstream public opinion and were quickly drowned out.

Long Yufei has his own plans, the war between the empire and Russia, and he doesn't know how long it will last. Moreover, after the initial high-intensity war, the scale of this war will gradually shrink, and it will not occupy too many troops of the empire. When the time comes, the Empire will have enough troops to fight against the United States. In addition, there is another reason for time. Time is running out for Mexicans. If the Mexicans had given in and ceded all those lands to the United States, there would have been nothing to do with the empire. In doing so, the empire is trying to get ahead of the Americans. Defeat the United States while it is still weak. Otherwise, when the United States digests these colonies and develops them, if it wants to defeat them again, the empire will have to pay a greater price.

The Chinese Empire bought a large tract of land from Mexico, and the most depressed were the Americans, whose behavior was completely a tiger's mouth! Seeing that the boiled duck was about to fly, the Americans, of course, would not be willing. At the time when the Chinese Empire and Mexico signed a territorial transfer agreement, the U.S. Minister to China, Alexander. Everett stormed the office of Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao and expressed a solemn protest to the Empire on behalf of the United States government. (To be continued......)
