Robert. Peel and Viscount Palmerston's words may sound like they are stirring up a relationship between the United States and the United States, but President Adams Jr. and Secretary of State Henry Brown. Kelai knew that the black-hearted and ruthless English father was not talking nonsense this time.

Just look at the map of North America to know that with the continuous westward expansion of the United States in recent decades, this country and the Ming Empire, which occupies the northwest corner of North America, are about to collide together!

And the Ming Empire to the Mexican Empire and Simon. Bolívar's support, as well as the Ming's territorial claims to the western part of the Oregon region along the Pacific Ocean, as well as their frenzied investment, gold mining, immigration, construction, etc., in California, where huge gold mines have been discovered, have greatly increased the possibility of a fierce conflict between the Ming and the United States.

According to the information obtained by the "White House", in 1827 alone, gold diggers from the Ming Dynasty dug up 10 million silver yuan worth of silver in California. As the wealth effect of California's Jinshan gradually emerged, Ming immigrants were pouring into California, and these immigrants also brought a lot of capital and technology, they not only engaged in gold panning, but also purchased a large amount of land, built estates, and built a Ming-style town in the area of San Francesca.

Recently, the Ming embassy in Washington also put forward a proposal to "put aside disputes, build a railroad, and jointly develop Western Oregon", wanting to build a railroad connecting Jinshan Town and Dongfu City, the capital of New Manchuria in the Ming Dynasty!

What an ambition that can't be hidden!

At the same time, the investment of the Ming Dynasty in the Mexican Emperor Agustín I was also quite amazing, and the "military loan" alone gave 60 million silver yuan!

Without the strong support of the Ming Dynasty, Agustín I would not have been able to survive the difficult period of the early days of the Mexican Empire, which was overthrown by a group of warlords and republican radicals. The Mexican Empire may have fallen apart as well......

In addition to this life-saving "military loan", Daming's capital has also invested in railways, ports, and power plants in Mexico in the past two years, and also helped the Mexican emperor operate the silver mines, gold mines, and mints that he nationalized...... The total investment (including military loans and California development) is probably more than 200 million!

In addition, Daming is in Simon. Bolívar has also invested in the hundreds of millions...... And Da Ming is still Simon. Active supporters of the cause of the Bolivarian Confederation of South America, they even supported the establishment of the Bolivarian dynasty as emperor of Bolivarian as emperor!

The Ming Dynasty's line of propping up a great power on the American continent was itself hostile to the idea of the United States trying to become the only great power and power in the Americas.

Because once the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation are built and stabilized, then America will not be Americas for the Americans!

And once the Americas become America's Americans, then Western civilization will have far more room to live than the Great Tomorrow Dynasty...... Sooner or later, the numerical superiority (population and GDP) of the Great Ming Dynasty will be surpassed by the Anglo-Saxon civilization that occupies more (much) living space!

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's policy in the Americas must be to support American powers that can confront the United States on the one hand, and encroach on the land in the northwest of the American continent on the other hand, and strive to expand its own living space. In this process, the confrontation between the Ming and the United States is almost certain.

"But the Ming Dynasty has a population of 360 million, and if you count Japan and those Ming vassal states, their population exceeds 400 million, maybe 420 million!" "And the United States plus Britain has only about 50 million people...... Can we win? ”

"Yes, it must be!" "They have a population of 420 million or 300 million, and counting," said Viscount Palmerston in an unusually firm tone...... This means that there is no longer enough living space they currently have! If they don't expand, they won't be able to sustain their current affluent lives. Their huge industry needs a market, it needs raw materials, it needs ...... The whole world!

Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty incorporated Japan into their system, which meant that they were going to expand eastward! Japan is not only a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to enter the Americas, but this country with very low manpower can also provide a large number of labor and cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty's eastward expansion policy! ”

Robert. Peel took Viscount Palmerston's words and continued: "Mr. President, you need not be too pessimistic...... Actually, we have a lot of people! Although we in the United Kingdom and the United States together have a population of only 50 million, we still have India! ”

"India?" Little Adams was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "India and we are a family?" ”

Viscount Palmerston nodded and said, "According to the latest statistics of the Indian Imperial Government, India has a population of more than 200 million! Together with more than 50 million people in our two countries, our three countries together have a population of nearly 260 million! Three countries with a population of 260 million will unite to form a strong Anglo-Saxon axis! ”

U.S. Secretary of State Henry Brown on the side. Kelai's face was worried: "Your Excellency, 420 million is more than 260 million!" That's 160 million more! And the industry of Daming is much stronger than that of our three countries combined! ”

"Yes!" Viscount Palmerston nodded, "They are indeed stronger than us, but that is a comparison of overall strength, not a comparison of local strength...... If we were to attack their homeland together, our strength would indeed be insufficient, and we would certainly be defeated. But we don't need to do that, we just need to keep the living space of the white people and contain them in East Asia.

We must not only keep their armies out of it, but also their goods...... We can no longer be as naïve as we used to be, and we can no longer use gold and silver from the Americas to buy the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty. We must strengthen us with the gold and silver of the Americas...... The industry of our two countries! ”

At this time, India is not a family again?

Little Adams was silent for a moment, and then said: "It seems that the gold and silver of the Americas are not buried under the ground of the United States......"

The gold and silver of the Americas are under the beneath the Mexican Empire and the Bolivarian Confederation of South America!

This is also the reason why the Ming Empire is willing to contribute money and efforts to support them, and now the world is still a gold and silver standard currency...... And to buy Daming's industrial products, you need to use currency!

Therefore, as long as the Ming can control the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation, it can kick Europe out of the international trade cycle - let the gold and silver of the Americas be directly exchanged for the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty, why bring Europe?

If the population of the Mexican Empire and the South American Federation is too small to support a large market, then they can also invest in large infrastructure there. Anyway, they have gold and silver to pay their bills, and the country is quite big, so they can completely engage in infrastructure construction.

Viscount Palmerston listened to Little Adams's words and burst out laughing: "Mr. President, if I am not mistaken, the land under your feet did not originally belong to the United States of America...... Even, it doesn't belong to England! ”

Robert. Pierre: "Mr. President, no matter how strong the Ming forces are, they are not capable of investing too much force on the Atlantic coast...... Far distances can make the most powerful military blocs weak. And the Mexican Empire and the so-called South American Confederation combined, there are not necessarily 4 million native-born whites. And the whites of the United States of America will soon exceed 20 million! 20 million against 4 million, the advantage is on our side! ”

"Yes," said Viscount Palmerston, "we can take a defensive position and limited offensive and harassment tactics in the United States, the East Indies, and Australia, and the brave Indians will attract the main firepower of the Ming Empire."

At the same time, we can launch an active offensive in the Americas...... We, the British Empire, support your American expansion in the Americas, and recognize America as America's America! And we can also sell you our best battleships, you have as much as you want, and we can pay for it with Pennsylvania oil. ”

"The best battleship?" The President of the United States frowned, "Minister, do you mean the monarchy?" ”

"No, we will provide you with the most advanced Indomitable class battleships and Courage-class heavy artillery cruisers!"
