Chapter 612: Didn't This Frenchman Come for Nothing?

Under the first wave of globalization that began in the Age of Discovery, the countries of the world were far more connected than people thought.

Washington, the original White House, is now a gloomy cloud in the new thirteen-state governor's palace.

Since the signing of the Treaty of American Return to the British Empire with Great Britain two years ago, the United States of America has become a new thirteen-state dominance on a par with the Dominion of Canada.

The nominal head of state is no longer the president, but the queen of England.

Of course, this merger was much looser than the later joining of the member states to the Soviet Union.

On the London side, there was neither a party branch nor an airborne branch secretary.

The Governor's Mansion basically continued the original team of the original Mi Lijian government.

For example, Abraham Lincoln, who lacked a prefrontal lobe but remained strong, became the first governor of the new Governorship of the Thirteen States, and was appointed and subordinate by the Queen of England.

And because of the credit for leading the return of the troops, Lincoln was also made the Earl of Rhode Island by Victoria, hereditary replacement.

Subsequently, the United Kingdom will provide full military protection for the new thirteen states.

The Prime Minister at the time, Benjamin Disraeli, publicly announced to the world that any military attack on the thirteen states of North America would be considered a war against the British Empire.

The British Empire will exhaust all its forces and shed the blood of the last Indian, from the Pamir Mountains to Zulu Africa, from Hudson Bay to the Auckland Islands, the British Empire will launch endless revenge and battles until the enemy is destroyed.

This sentence can be said to be quite tough.

It has instilled confidence in the panicked U.S. (Lin) government.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see who Benjamin's manifesto is implicitly addressed.

The only country that can threaten the new thirteen states is the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of the British's big words, the Ming side once again reiterated that Yin Zhou is the Yin Zhou of the Yin people, and the Yin people are a part of China, and now they have been integrated into the Ming Dynasty.

That is, the Ming Dynasty and its friends have the unquestionable sovereignty of Yinzhou in the north and south.

The Great Lakes region and the east coast of North America, which had great industrial and agricultural potential, were at stake, unlike the small countries of West Africa, and this time the British did not resort to appeasement.

It's a manifestation of will.

At the beginning of December of the eighth year of Dewu, the Royal Navy of the British Empire assembled more than 14 strengths 200 kilometers west of St. Anthony's Naval Base in Canada, that is, more than 100 capital ships, more than 300 auxiliary ships, and a huge combat power of more than 1 million tons in total tonnage.

and launched a joint military exercise codenamed "Dragon Hunting Campaign".

This is the largest military exercise ever held in human history.

It not only played the role of intimidating the Ming Dynasty, but also simulated the actual combat plan against the battleship of the Ming Shenzhou.

It's just that the British can never guess how thick the steel plate of the Shenzhou will be and how good the performance is, so they can only simulate it according to their superficial understanding.

Moreover, the British did not know that the sister ship of the Shenzhou, the Yinzhou, was about to enter service.

Yinzhou is the Americas.

The word America is actually not bad, but in the end, Zhu Fugui still finalized Yin Zhou.

Xia Yin Zhou is the cornerstone of China, and it doesn't hurt to use it.

It's just that Shenzhou, Yinzhou, and the name of the next super battleship of the Ming Dynasty should be unknown.

There are not many names left for the Daming Sailor in the World Map.

ยท

To be honest, although the two super battleships were in hand, the background displayed by the British still caused pressure on Da Ming to some extent.

Their ships were a little smaller, a little weaker in armor, but they were a bit frightening.

In fact, Britain was also frightened by the naval strength shown by the Ming Dynasty in the Pacific, so it has been speeding up the construction of ships over the years.

Before the mid-nineteenth century, the relative strength of the British was even more exaggerated.

At that time, the slogan put forward by the British Royal Navy was called the "six-strong standard".

That is, the total tonnage of warships of the British Royal Navy should exceed the sum of the six countries in the ranking.

In 1885, with the rise of industrial countries such as the United States and Germany, the tonnage of shipbuilding continued to expand, and Britain had to change the "six-strong standard" to the "two-strong standard".

That is, the total tonnage of the British Royal Navy must exceed the sum of France and Germany.

And now, the British have fast-forwarded to the "two-power standard" 15 years ahead of schedule, that is, the total tonnage of the British Royal Navy must exceed the sum of the Mingde standard.

In short, the British showed great military power in the Atlantic, and the Anglo-Saxon people in North America were a shot in the arm.

Not only did the Yankees, who had attached themselves to the British, think that they had the backers to resist the eastward advance of the Ming, but even the rednecks in the south were ready to move.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been carrying out cultural infiltration of the southern government over the years, the creature of the red neck has a very stiff mind.

As long as the Ming did not defeat the British in a dignified manner, it would not have been possible to completely interrupt the inexplicable pride of these North American Ansians who claimed to be members of the Western world.

Of course, compared to the United States (Forest), the form of the South is generally controllable.

All kinds of NGOs supported by the Ming Dynasty control the main position of the public opinion field, monopolize the channels of occurrence, and there are still many progressives who are interested in the Ming Dynasty.

However, according to the White Hound report, those who quietly support the Ku Klux Klan, support white supremacy, and support the glorious Anglo-Saxon blood, and are God's chosen people, are at risk of being transformed into a "silent majority."

Next year's presidential election in the South may be uncertain.

In short, the British, one way or another, did not give up their influence in North America and provided a military umbrella for the governments of the new thirteen states.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The Governor's House of the New Thirteen States enjoyed the protection of the British, and of course had corresponding obligations.

In addition to the partial transfer of military command, the greatest obligation is to pay taxes.

It was only natural for a colony to pay taxes to its mother country.

The Governor's Office of the New Thirteen Prefectures is also mentally prepared.

However......

"Guys, damn the Britons have raised taxes again!"

In the White House, the former Secretary of State, Chief of Staff, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, Secretary of Commerce, Chief Justice, Speaker, etc., all became subordinate officials of the Governor's Office, and now they are gathered to discuss the matter.

Of course, the most important of them was Robert Lincoln, the son of Governor Lincoln, and his comrades-in-arms and supporters, Robert King, who held the military power.

General Robert King Jr., who had been promoted to the rank of Governor Lincoln, had been a man of great military achievement.

Once a big fight with Stonewall Jackson, the winner or loser is a thing of the past.

Today, General Robert King's greatest achievement is a two-year battle with the King of Ni in the mountains of Apalachia.

What is the concept of being able to fight with the king of nuns for 2 years?

You know, although King Ni is a black man, he is also a savage butcher.

He captured Liberia, Equatorial Guinea, Upper Water, and defeated the French in just four months.

And the fact that General Robert King was able to fight such a villain for two years is enough to show that General Robert King's ability is far superior to that of the French.

Rounding off, General Robert King is a world-famous general who can be on a par with Napoleon!

At this moment, he slapped the table with his riding boots, and his face was no longer immature: "Holy stool!" Back then, the French helped us fight the war of independence and get rid of the tyranny of the British, and the reason was because they resisted the tax increase, and now the French are gone, and we are back, but we still have to raise taxes, isn't this French in vain? In my opinion, this tax cannot be added to a penny! It should even be tax-resistant! โ€

"General Kim's anger is at ease!"

A peacemaker advised, "In this stock market crash, the British have suffered heavy losses, not only we have raised taxes here, but also Canada, India, South Africa, and all over the country......"

"That can't be added!"

Robert King twisted his head and said, "The British guys have thundered themselves, do you want us to wipe their butts?" How can there be such a good thing? Did Victoria mistake our unruly North American cowboys for Indians? Big deal, Lexington, I'm going to shoot it myself! โ€

"Be careful!"

The peacemaker hurriedly covered Robert King's mouth and said in a low voice, "General King, beware of the British spies!"

The British knew about the discovery of aluminum ore in West Africa before the French president, and the French were furious, saying that the British were eavesdropping on their allies! โ€

"Shet, even the allies are eavesdropping, are these despicable Brits still human?"

Robert King Jr. scolded in a whisper.

To be honest, when the new thirteen states returned, he was the most depressed.

Because of his return, he lost his position as commander-in-chief of the North American Army and became military counselor in the governor's palace.

Although the descendants were not disbanded, the supreme operational command belonged to the British.

This is equivalent to swallowing up most of the power in their hands by the British.

It's already depressing that the command has been swallowed, and now the British still want to raise taxes!

Damn, really don't dare to vote?

Hey?
