The anxiously waiting envoys of Fusang and Paraguay in the state guesthouse, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally looked forward to the emperor of the Tang Empire patrolling the southern and northern provinces and returning to the imperial capital Chang'an, which was more than 5 months.

The anxiety that suffers day and night in my heart, don't mention it.

But when they thought of the vast territory of the Tang Empire's North America, which was about 9,670 kilometers long from north to south and about 3,720 kilometers from east to west, everyone invariably closed their mouths tightly.

The empire is too vast, and this is also the trouble of happiness.

In this world

There is a kind of power that you can't envy, and in the more than 20 years since the founding of the country, the rapid rise of the Tang Empire in North America is a miracle of the times.

Emperor Richard led the dragon ministers all the way through the thorns and thorns to lay down a huge country, achieving the current peak of the Tang Empire.

In particular, its vast territory of more than 10 million square kilometers can only be compared with the British Empire, the French Empire, the Tsarist Empire, and the Qing Empire in today's world, and it is difficult for other world powers to match.

Dig it down

The British Empire's colonies around the world totaled nearly 27.5 million square kilometers (Note; Data in the 60s of the 19th century), the territory is the broadest, and it undoubtedly occupies the first place in today's world, known as the "empire on which the sun never sets".

There is nothing wrong with the fact that a colony is equivalent to a territory.

As old colonial powers, the biggest limitation of Britain and France is that the European mainland is not large, and its colonies are all over the world, but they are in a fragmented country that does not border each other, and the difficulty of colonial management is high.

Britain's largest single colony was the Viceroyalty of India, which covered more than 4.3 million square kilometers, but was thousands of miles away from the European mainland.

In the event of a war with a world-class power, these colonies, far from the European mainland, are nothing more than castles built on the beach, vulnerable to enemy attacks and falling.

The Seven Years' War, which broke out in 1756, is a stark example.

It was an all-out war that raged all over the world, and in addition to fierce fighting in Europe, the British and French powers also engaged in all-out competition in overseas colonies, covering North America, the Indian subcontinent, North Africa, and the Middle East.

After the victory of the Seven Years' War, Britain gained a large number of colonies, and France was forced to cede all of Canada to Britain in the Treaty of Paris, and also withdrew from all of India, retaining only five of them, which was basically equivalent to being driven out of the Americas and the Indian subcontinent.

After the victory of the war, Britain also monopolized the sea dominance, maintained the balance of power on the European continent, and became the biggest winner.

And this was the closest the French Empire came to ascending to the throne of world hegemony, and after the defeat of the war, the dream of world leadership of the Gallic rooster was shattered, and he had to live a humiliating life under the wing of his fateful enemy, England.

The American Revolutionary War, which broke out shortly thereafter, provided the French with the most favorable opportunity for revenge.

In order to wash away the shame of Louis XV's defeat, the French Emperor Louis XVI, even if he went bankrupt and even sent more than 100,000 French troops to fight in North America, no matter how much he sacrificed and paid to help the Americans win the victory of the War of Independence, he was holding a bad breath of revenge in his heart.

The result was the loss of the North American colonies by Britain (Note; excluding Canada), the independence of the United States of America, and the French finally breathed a bad breath at the huge cost of more than 30,000 killed, and Louis XVI was guillotined shortly thereafter......

Therefore, the overseas colonies all over the world are not only the biggest capital of Britain and France, but also their biggest weakness.

Unlike Britain and France, the Tsarist Empire, the Qing Empire, and the Tang Empire were all giants with a territory of more than 10 million square kilometers and possessed extremely broad strategic depth.

Being in the face of any external enemy is in an internal combat advantage, which is conducive to the mobilization of troops and equipment, is conducive to war mobilization, and relies on the vast strategic depth to drag a strong enemy into the quagmire of a protracted war until the final victory is won.

The French Emperor Napoleon's invasion of Tsarist Russia suffered an unprecedented defeat, which also provided a stark negative educational template for ambitious European countries;

When you want to conquer giants, you have to first measure whether your three inches can be beaten to the end?

Although the Tsarist Russian Empire straddled the Eurasian continent, due to its geographical location being too northern, most of its territory was in the cold region at high latitudes, which was not suitable for human habitation.

Moreover, Tsarist Russia did not have a port to the sea in the warm Mediterranean Sea in Europe, and its geographical limitations were large, and it faced strong European opponents. Tsarist Russia's westward expansion policy of more than 200 years since Catherine the Great has suffered setbacks one after another, and it is difficult to exert greater influence in European affairs, which is inseparable from the geographical factors of encirclement.

Compare the two

The Qing Empire and the Tang Empire were much better, and both empires were feudal regimes with a predominantly Chinese population. It has a large population and a long history, with a unique Chinese cultural heritage. Echoing across the wide Pacific Ocean, it embraces almost the entire Pacific Ocean.

Does such a strategic situation mean that the future belongs to the Chinese?

The thought of this possibility made the authorities in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna unable to sit still and secretly vigilant in their hearts.

Nowadays, in the general perception of European society, the Qing Empire is consciously or unconsciously referred to as the Chinese, a typical Northeast Asian yellow race, which is used to distinguish it from Southeast Asia and South Asia.

He also called the Tang Empire the Tang people, which were typical of the North American Caucasians, and the reason for this was that the Indians were classified as white because they were mixed with too much white blood.

The reason for this

Europeans have mixed feelings, and there is an implicit fear that the two great empires on the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean will join forces and rule the world?

At that time, who will be able to compete with it?

Back to the point

When Fusang and Paraguay finally waited for the long-awaited news, the outcome of the Tang Empire's court meeting was simply terrible, giving them a desperate feeling of five thunderstorms, as if the end had come......

Envoy of Fuso;

"How is this possible...... Amaterasu! I, Fusang Country, respect and respect the Tang Empire as the Celestial Empire, how can I fall into such a dangerous moment, how can this be the way of tolerance for a great power?

It's just so disappointing, this must be the work of the villain.

I hope to be able to meet Your Majesty, and I am saddened that the country is now deeply wounded by the continuous civil war, and the people are in boundless suffering, and I hope day and night that the heavenly kingdom will be like a rain to spread on the world and save all the people from fire and water.

I beg Your Majesty for mercy and take back your order, so the Shogunate must not be edicted if you lose your power and humiliate the country! ”

The Imperial Foreign Ministry sent an edict to the envoy with the eyes of a fool, looked at the Fusang envoy with contempt, and reprimanded him only after he showed a flattering smile;

"It's ridiculous!

Today, the Holy Lord summoned the courtiers to the court of the Taihe Palace, and the policy set was based on the four seas, not just the matter of waiting for one country.

In the future, similar affairs in various countries will be handled in the same way, and loans must be collateralized, and there will be no exception, and they will be popularized.

Now that the holy decree of the golden pen and royal approval of the saint has been issued, how can the decree be changed overnight?

How can you bargain?

It's ridiculous, and the crime is not punishable!

Gu Nianer and others are barbarians from all over the world, they don't know etiquette and education, and their words of rebellion are really unintentional, and they can't bear to pursue it, but they need to remember that they must not be believed.

The opening of the Tang Dynasty was also the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the Holy Emperor Fen Buyi ascended the throne and created a grand situation in North America. From the number of days to create all generations, cover the six books can not be discussed, the former saint can be said?

At this time

The saint has a horizontal merit and the day, the people are obedient to the rebellion, the world is unified by the barbarians, and all the nations come to the dynasty, creating a great cause of inheritance for all generations.

If you are a barbarian and a madman, you don't know what to do, and if you hear the right way, please recite it for the rest of your life......"

Envoy of Fuso; “……”

The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized him with a sharp criticism, and quoted a few words from Ban Gu's "Eastern Capital Fu", and listened to the envoy of Fusang State stunned, and did not have the courage to continue the dialogue.

Scolding people is so stylish, it is really the grandeur of the Heavenly Empire!

On the other side of the State Guesthouse

The emissary of the Republic of Paraguay also let out a scream of pain, shouting in disbelief; "Oh...... No, no, no, God, have you really abandoned the troubled Paraguayans? Paraguay humbly prays for His Majesty's mercy, if the Tang Empire is unable to lend a hand, Paraguay will inevitably fall into the terrible abyss of national extinction! ”

"Unfortunately, what position does the Empire take to help Paraguay?" The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs visited.

"Paraguay is willing to establish a closer alliance with the Tang Empire, cooperate in all aspects of politics, economy and military in all aspects, respect and implement the policy of "Liu Xianjunism" promoted by your country, and hope to develop a model bilateral relationship between North and South America, and has the most sincere wishes. ”

"Are you worthy?" The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a retort that made the envoy of the Republic of Paraguay blush, and then turned from red to purple and from purple to black, and was speechless for a long time.

The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs snorted coldly and continued mercilessly; "Compared with the price paid for supporting Paraguay, the imperial side will inevitably tear its face with the big South American powers Brazil and Argentina. When international mediation fails, even military intervention is necessary to save the crisis, is it worth it for Paraguay to be merely saved? If you want to get anything without giving anything, how can there be such a wonderful thing in the world? ”

"Paraguay is willing to become the pioneer of the Tang Empire in South America, dancing with the baton of the empire, just begging for superficial equality and retaining the last trace of dignity."

"If Paraguay is destroyed and the species is destroyed, it is useless to have this little dignity, who cares what a completely destroyed person thinks?"

"This bloody reality that you have revealed is too cruel, and President López is a very persistent person who will never give in to his subordinates."

"It seems...... Paraguay has not died enough in the war to make President López realize the harsh reality. If 10,000 people die is not enough, then 20,000 people will die

50,000 or 100,000 until it is completely destroyed, which has nothing to do with the Tang Empire, although it is better to die. ”

"Oh God, I beg you not to be so ruthless."

"Shut up, keep in mind my three words and relay them to your President López; Paraguay must demonstrate value to be worthy of the Empire's rescue. Paraguay must be completely subservient to the Empire in order to be worthy of its rescue. Paraguay must show enough deference to be worthy of the Empire's rescue. The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at the other party's shocked and inexplicable face, snorted coldly, and continued;

"The empire needs a dog in South America, and Paraguay has to play the role of a dog and do what a dog should do.

If you want to bite whomever you want, you can bite whomever you want, and if you wag your tail, you can quickly wag your tail to win the favor of your master, so that you can get a reward of meat and bones.

Don't fantasize about being on an equal footing with the owner, or even sitting at the table, being able to crawl at the owner's feet and eat a bone is the greatest happiness and glory for the dog.

Otherwise, it's better to die.

When the strength is not enough, it is not a blessing to be a dog.

He lost the lives of 100,000 people in Paraguay for his stubbornness, his homes were burned by the enemy, his fields were looted by the enemy, his wife and daughter were humiliated by the enemy, his wealth was plundered by the enemy, his land fell, and his mountains and rivers were shattered.

And the Paraguayans will forever go down in history as clowns who block the car, and after the destruction of the country, they will also be ridiculed by future generations, and die a dignified and humiliating death, is this what President Carlos wants?

Instead of this, it is happier to be a dog.

The choice is in your own hands, no one has forced the Paraguayans or President López, and I hope you can really see the facts.

In a show of goodwill, the Empire will forcibly intervene in the war to mediate and buy Paraguay time to survive.

But this time will not be too long, I hope you will wait for yourself. ”

After all that is said

The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs swaggered away, leaving only the envoy of the Republic of Paraguay standing in the courtyard with a dejected face, his body stiff and unmoved for a long time, as if he had lost his soul.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

His own family knows his own affairs, and President López López and his envoys all know what kind of dangerous situation Paraguay is facing now;

This is a desperate war that can never be won, and without help, Paraguay will be plunged into an abyss of darkness that will never end.

But there is always a little luck in the hearts of Paraguayans, who delusionally think that the Tang Empire is out of the face and vanity of a great power......

Well, the dream is shattered, and it's time to face the cold reality.

The Paraguayans did not think about surrendering, and they made an effort to do so, and Paraguayan President Andrés López López tried to surrender to the coalition side, but was ruthlessly refused.

In the Paraguayan War, which lasted more than two years, the Brazilian Empire and Argentina suffered huge casualties in the continuous fighting, and now they are both red-eyed, threatening to "completely eradicate the cancer of Paraguay, including women and Paraguayan cubs." ”

This is not a threat, but what Brazilians and Argentines really think.

The British secretly supported the Brazilian Empire, providing the weapons and gunpowder needed to equip Brazil with a staggering black army to be used as cannon fodder in the war.

Look around the world

Paraguay's sad discovery has been abandoned by the world, and Europeans are indifferent to it, not even knowing that there is a small country like Paraguay, let alone caring about the imminent demise of Paraguay.

The envoys of the Tang Empire were right;

The only possibility that can save Paraguay in this world is for the Tang Empire to make a move, provided that Paraguay wants to be a deferential dog.

In fact, Paraguayan President Andrés López López has no choice at all, and the fate of the entire nation is at stake, the latter being the only viable way out of the two paths of destruction and being a dog.

He knows;

President López López is being tormented day and night by painful self-blame and remorse, and his heart has long been full of holes, and he is not at all as strong as he appears.

As long as there is a chance, he is willing to be a dog.
