Chapter 359: You Americans can declare war on Japan, but American warships are not allowed to enter the Pacific Ocean
"Reserve the right to take all measures?" Guo Zhiqian immediately blew his beard and glared, "What do you want to do as an American president?" What do you want to do? Do you want to be the enemy of my Great Tomorrow Dynasty? ”
How can you be the enemy of Daming? Although Akemi will have a fight, he can't fight now.
So you can't mess with Da Ming too ruthlessly.
Jackson is called a nest of fire, he carried a gun at the age of 13 and fought his British father in the army until now, he has never suffered such anger, he wants to smoke the ear scraper of this short and fat Chinese in front of him.
But...... He had to hold back!
Da Ming is a real yellow peril, and it is huge!
"Mr. Ambassador," said President Jackson, gritting his teeth, "of course we will not be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but we will not swallow our anger either, the United States will declare war on Japan, and we, the army and navy of the United States of America, will strike at Japan by all means, everywhere, at sea and land, until they give in and pay the price they deserve!" ”
In fact, Jackson also knows that behind Japan is the Ming Dynasty. But he still had to say something to scare people. said that, in order to get the corresponding feedback from Guo Zhiqian. In this way, he can understand the position of the Ming Dynasty and formulate a reasonable strategic policy.
"Mr. President," Guo Zhiqian smiled coldly, "of course you can declare war on Japan, but the army of your United States of America cannot attack Japan everywhere!" ”
"Why is that?"
"Why can't we hit Japan in some places?"
The U.S. Secretary of War and Secretary of State asked.
Guo Zhiqian replied, "Because your navy and army are not allowed to enter the waters of the Pacific Ocean west or north of the Hawaiian Islands, unless invited by the Ming Dynasty. ”
He was talking about the "Measures for the Management of Pacific Waters" that the Ming Dynasty began to implement after taking control of the Strait of Malacca.
"What?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
The three Americans apparently didn't know the new rules of the Ming Dynasty.
"Because the waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west and north of the Hawaiian Islands are the waters of the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire has the right to prohibit all foreign troops from entering!"
Guo Zhiqian paused, and said in an accentuated tone. "Moreover, if your American ships enter the waters of the Pacific Ocean without the invitation of our Great Tomorrow Dynasty, we will see them as a threat to the stability and security of the Pacific region!
Therefore, I suggest that your warships do not even come to the Pacific Ocean, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
Well, the Pacific Ocean won't let you in. How can you beat the Japanese devils?
"This is not in accordance with international law!" U.S. Secretary of War John Brown. Henry. Yin Dun reminded loudly, "No matter how it is divided, the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty cannot encompass most of the Pacific Ocean!" ”
Guo Zhiqian said: "International law governs international affairs, not the affairs of the Celestial Empire, and the rule of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty is that your navy and army are not allowed to enter the waters of the Pacific Ocean west or north of the Hawaiian Islands...... It has belonged to the Great Tomorrow Dynasty since ancient times! ”
Since ancient times...... That's the rule!
Guo Zhiqian added another article triumphantly, saying: "Since ancient times, it has belonged to the Great Ming Dynasty, and of course it also includes the airspace west and north of Hawaii. If you have an airplane...... Nor can it enter the airspace there! ”
What does it mean to have an airplane? It's an insult!
Three Americans, one angry.
Can America be without airplanes? It's just that American planes can't fly that far, and now it's difficult for American planes to fly out of neighboring seas if they take off from the coast of the United States.
"What if we enter?" John. Yin Dun asked with a blushing face.
Guo Zhiqian laughed: "Mr. Minister, won't you know if you try it?" ”
Try?
Can you try this? Try it, and the U.S. Navy may not try.
How many navies does the United States of America have now?
It's okay to bully Japan, but it's really too far away to scare the Ming Navy.
The most powerful battleship of the United States class in the United States, to put it bluntly, is a shrunken version of the Victory class, and in the Battle of Terke Strait, didn't the full version of the Victory class also sink two ships casually?
And according to reliable intelligence, the Ming Dynasty used the large fast battleship "Zhongwang" class with a displacement of 25,000 tons - 30,000 tons and the aircraft-carrying battleship "Shuzhong Wang" class in this naval battle...... These two ships are at least one or two generations ahead of the full version of the Victory class!
I don't know how much stronger it is than the shrunken version of the United States...... What is even more terrifying is that the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty is far stronger than that of the United States, and the American shipbuilding industry does not even have one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, which is about one-fifteenth to one-eighteenth.
Therefore, the US Navy does not dare to consider bypassing South America and going to the Ming Navy to compete for sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean.
I can't think of such a thing!
What they dare to think about now is to quickly save up a super battleship that is likely to defeat the Ming "Zhongwang" class on paper.
And before the completion of this new class of battleships, the US Navy did not even have the certainty of defeating the Ming Expeditionary Fleet in the North Atlantic......
Seeing that the Americans were dumb, Guo Zhiqian, a great diplomat of the Ming Dynasty, said again: "President, Secretary of State, Mr. Minister, do you still hand over an ultimatum to the Japanese?" ”
"Of course we ......" U.S. President Andrew Murphy. "This is to be reconsidered," Jackson said. ”
Guo Zhiqian smiled and said: "Mr. President, what we mean by the Ming Dynasty is that the battlefield of your confrontation with the Japanese is limited to the Atlantic. As for the Pacific Ocean...... It is a sea of peace, so do not destroy the peace there. ”
The President of the United States nodded and replied: "We will seriously consider your words, Mr. Ambassador...... At the same time, we also ask you to convey it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
We in the United States have almost endless resources and up to 20 million people...... But we don't have any interest in anything outside of the Americas. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future!
But if you want to deprive us of our natural rights in the Americas...... Then we Americans will also not hesitate to fight.
To defend the Americas, we are not afraid of any enemy. Although you are strong, you are far away, the land of North America and the waters of the Atlantic, are our home turf! ”
……
North Pacific Ocean.
The flagship of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Navy, the battleship of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The telegram from the United States was first transmitted by cable to the warm water port of New Manchuria. Then it was transmitted all the way to the battleship of the Emperor Wu of Han through the long-wave radio there. In the end, it was placed on the head of Vice Admiral Zhuge Weidao of the Pacific Fleet.
Zhuge Weidao picked up the newspaper and read it word by word. Then he smiled and said to Tokugawa Saiaki, who was sitting across from him, "The President of the United States has drawn the line...... Fight you guys right in Texas and the Atlantic!
And they are not going to abandon their plans for territorial expansion into Mexico. Americans have come to see the lands of northern Mexico as their natural right...... It's shameless! ”
Tokugawa nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, these Americans are too shameless.
Texas is clearly Mexican land, and our Texan warriors were invited by the Mexican emperor to help Mexico defend their homeland. They are there to stop the American aggression, and in the mouths of the Americans...... Our people have instead become aggressors, and aggression has become the rights of Americans. ”
"But that's fine," Zhuge said with a smile, "the Mexican Emperor will definitely give up his illusions about the Americans and stand with us." ”
Zhuge thought for a while, and said, "Tokugawa-kun, your trip to Mexico this time will definitely be fruitful." ”
It turned out that Tokugawa Saiaki was going to Mexico to visit and collect accounts - Japan has made such a big effort to help Mexico this time, and this must be increased!
Tokugawa Saiaki nodded and said, "As long as Emperor Agustin stands with us, we will have two more heroic and two heroic...... In this way, the competition in the Caribbean Sea has a great chance of winning! ”
