"Tokugawa-kun, don't expect too much from the heroes and heroes of the Mexicans...... Until the Texas Sea breaks through the American blockade and enters the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Fleet of the Royal Mexican Navy will not be of much help to you. ”

Zhuge shook his head for Dao, and poured a basin of cold water on Tokugawa Qi Zhao's head.

"Why?" Tokugawa didn't understand, "We're going to help the Mexicans defend Texas, don't they want to defend Texas?" ”

"Of course Agustin I wants to defend Texas," Zhuge Weidao said, as he opened a drawer on his desk, took out a map of the situation of the Caribbean Sea and the coastal region from it, spread it out in front of Tokugawa Saiaki, and then pointed to Texas on it and said, "This is indeed the national fortune of Mexico!" If Emperor Agustin can keep Texas, then Mexico will be able to absorb millions or even tens of millions of European immigrants with these hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of fertile land in the future. From Texas to eastern Mexico, along the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, the coastal plain area of nearly one million square kilometers will surely become a prosperous place comparable to the thirteen states of North America!

However, if the United States seizes Texas, then Mexico will lose not only the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in the northeast, but also the possibility of growing into a world power forever and the capital to confront the United States. Moreover, Mexico's vast, desolate, and sparsely populated northwest mountains will also be eaten away by the American whales, and eventually all ...... At that time, Mexico will be completely reduced to a vassal of the United States and will never be able to rise again.

But just because Agustin knows he can't afford to lose Texas doesn't mean he dares to fight...... Otherwise, he would not have remained silent after the events in Texas. Now the Americans' fleet has blockaded the Texas Gulf, while his Caribbean Fleet is hiding in Port Yin Lizabeth and does not dare to show its head. ”

"Zhuge Jun, that is a strategy to protect the ship and control the enemy, that is, to exist in the fleet." Tokugawa Saiaki was still defending Agustin I's policy, "The Americans have received technical assistance from Britain in recent years to build several powerful United States-class ships. ”

Zhuge Weidao shook his head and said with a smile: "Agustin will only wait for more United States-class or even more advanced American warships if he waits!" The industrial strength of the United States is not comparable to that of Mexico, and as long as they receive technical assistance from Britain, they can build ships like dumplings! Mexico is just an agricultural country with mines at home, and they can succeed for a while by buying warships, but if they don't dare to make a decisive move when their strength is in the upper hand, and wait until the equipment in their hands is outdated, and the enemy's new equipment is built in batches, they will miss the opportunity! ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Weidao suddenly glanced at Tokugawa Qizhao with gloomy eyes, and saw that Tokugawa Qizhao's heart was furious.

How did he know that Japan in another timeline used the money stolen from the Qing Dynasty to buy advanced British warships, and then cleaned up his own shipbuilding in the Russo-Japanese War, and staged a rare build-better than buying.

It's a pity that the Mexican emperor doesn't have the courage of the Japanese devils, and he is reluctant to use the newly arrived heroes to fight the Americans. As a result, the Americans, with their own industrial strength and the technical assistance of the British father, began to make "dumplings" one after another. Although most of their United States level is not as good as the hero level, they can't stand the large number! Moreover, building your own ships can not only stimulate the economy, but also cultivate technical capabilities, and you will definitely build better and faster in the future.

If we can't take advantage of the heat we just bought, after a long time, the performance of the armament will deteriorate, and it will not be as good as what others will build.

Zhuge Weidao retracted his gaze, and looked at a red line connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea on the map, "But the Mexican Emperor should speed up the construction of the Nicaragua Canal next, as long as this canal can be opened, the Ming Pacific Fleet can send a truly powerful detachment into the Caribbean Sea!" ”

"At the current pace, this canal will be built for at least five years, right?" Tokugawa said, "If we could double the number of workers, the time should be reduced to three years, but what about those three years? ”

Tokugawa Saiaki has actually been staring at this canal...... Most of the laborers who built the canal came from Japan! If it had been up to Mexican Indian workers to build it, the canal would not have been completed for another decade.

But Agustin I was also a little suspicious of the arrival of a large number of Chinese and Japanese - now the California region of the Mexican Empire is open to Chinese (mainly gold prospectors), Texas is open to the Japanese, and there are tens of thousands of Japanese laborers digging canals here in Nicaragua. Together, there are more than 200,000 East Asians living in Mexico, and they are still coming in.

At this rate, it won't be many years before the number of East Asians in the Mexican Empire will surpass the native-born whites (more than 2 million)!

Who will have the final say in Mexico?

However, now that the United States has taken action against Texas, Agustin I may not be able to take care of the "distant worries" of the continuous flow of East Asian immigrants...... After all, if he, the "Napoleon of the Americas", can't keep hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of Texas, then it won't be a matter of bowing down and stepping down!

Zhuge Weidao then said: "Tokugawa-kun, these three years have been very dangerous for us, but at the same time, they are also opportunities!" The court of Agustin I could not afford to lose Texas, and if he lost Texas, Agustin I was a sinner in Mexico, and his head had to be lost. And if he wants to keep Texas, he can only rely on the assistance of our two countries. Let's take the opportunity to go to the Mexican Empire! There are only 2 million native-born whites in the Mexican Empire, and if we exceed that......"

If there are 20 million native-born whites in the Mexican Empire, then the Ming and Japan don't have to think about it.

But there are only 2 million native-born whites in this country...... These people are the masters of the Mexican Empire!

The total population of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty circle (including Japan) has exceeded 400 million, and a 0.5% immigrant to Mexico can change the color of Mexico.

This prospect ...... It's exciting!

Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qizhao again, he knew that little Japan must have this thought, otherwise he would not have spent so much money to send laborers and samurai to Mexico.

"The key now is that you can break the blockade of the Americans and enter the Gulf ......of Mexico through the Yucatan Strait between Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula," Zhuge Weidao pointed to the strait between the island of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula, "This strait is about 100 nautical miles wide, only four or five hundred nautical miles from New Orleans, but 16,000 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor.

The fleet of Texas Haizi had to sail continuously at sea for more than 2 months to arrive.

And the British will certainly put pressure on the Republic of Gran Colombia and the Brazilian Empire. So that your fleet will not have the opportunity to get adequate replenishment and port maintenance once you enter the Atlantic...... You'll be stranded and out of steam, while the Americans can rest in the Yucatan Strait. ”

Zhuge Weidao looked at Tokugawa Qizhao and said: "The battle of the Yucatan Strait is very important, and the Texas Sea must go all out!" ”

"Can you win with all your might?" Tokugawa Saiaki was a little skeptical, "If the Mexican fleet doesn't come out...... I'm afraid the strength of Texas Haizi is insufficient! ”

"Enough!" Zhuge Weidao said with certainty, "Before the fleet of Texas Haizi enters the Caribbean Sea, all carrier-based aircraft pilots will complete their training. They were then transported by airship to Colombia...... The Akagi and Kaga ships have our latest carrier-based aircraft.

This is a better aircraft than the Ssangyong biplane carrier-based seaplane. They can complete take-off and landing on the anti-aircraft deck of aircraft-carrying frigates, and they can also carry 100 kg of bombs for dive bombing at small angles, which is enough to deal with American battleships! ”
