"Pan Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, I will leave you here today to talk about my long-term strategic vision. I hope to continue to promote the pan-Chinese transformation of North America, and this responsibility will fall on the shoulders of you, the Minister of North American Affairs......"

Emperor Richard and Yan Yuese's words directly made Lord Pan Shouguo unbearable, and he hurriedly stood up again and slammed it to the ground.

Mouth in the mouth; "How can Weichen be virtuous, dare to take on this great responsibility, Your Majesty has to kill Weichen?"

"Pan Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble, I have always known that Pan Aiqing is known for being resourceful and decisive. During the expeditions to North Africa and Luzon, he performed well, and he was the best candidate to preside over the implementation of this major national policy. "Emperor Richard has a very high opinion of him, and the key is that this person is loyal and can take on heavy responsibilities.

These few words were like a warm current, pouring into the heart of Lord Pan Shouguo, and the emperor's grace made him uneasy to be excited, and replied with a trembling voice;

"Weichen is stupid, but fortunately he is appreciated by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, entrusted with the important task of national politics, and dares to die hard?"

"Pan Aiqing is exempt from the courtesy, give a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The monarch and the minister sat down again, and Emperor Richard carefully looked at Lord Pan Shouguo, the Minister of North American Affairs, who was now forty-seven years old, with a thin face, and his face had left dark marks on his face that had been traveling overseas for many years, and he looked even more shrewd and capable.

After the North American War in 1862, he went to the Kingdom of Prussia to study as a royal chamberlain.

He personally experienced the Prussian-Danish War and the Austro-Prussian War, and followed His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin, King of Pingxi, on an expedition to Egypt in North Africa, attacking cities and villages along the way, with outstanding military achievements.

Led by Lord Pan Shouguo, he established the Yunzhong Province Colony and the Red Sea Yemen Colony on the basis of poverty and whiteness, and in 1869, as the deputy head of the Tang Dynasty military delegation, he observed the Franco-Prussian War.

In the subsequent expedition to the Luzon Islands in the war of colonial expansion, this person resolutely implemented the imperial policy of "vacating cages for birds", and actively introduced mainland immigrants to build Luzon, Cebu and Mindanao, and developed this place into a new paradise in China.

By the end of 1889

On this basis, the establishment of the three feudal states has been running smoothly, and the issue of indigenous peoples has been completely resolved, which is indispensable for Lord Pan Shouguo's great feat!

In particular, Emperor Richard appreciated that this person never fought or grabbed, and the huge limelight made Tang-Li Xin, the king of Pingxi, deeply hidden his merit and fame.

So-called; The wise do not fight, the benevolent do not take responsibility, and the good do not judge.

How can His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who has always been known for his "insight into world affairs, breadth and wisdom", not see this?

After the monarch and the minister sat down, the tea served in the court quietly retreated, and the palace returned to quiet.

A moment later

Emperor Richard said with feeling;

"More than 40 years have passed in a hurry, as if it were yesterday......

When I first arrived on the North American continent, California on the West Coast was still a wild and wild land, inhabited by whites, Mexicans, Indians, and Chinese.

That era

Chinese immigrants have been oppressed because of more than 200 years of slavery education in their bones, they have lost the iron backbone of the Han and Tang dynasties, and their waists are not straight!

is submissive everywhere, no wonder he has been oppressed and blinded.

This wild land respects only the strong, and no one will sympathize with the weak. I led my early followers to the east and west, and forcibly carved out a world on the North American continent.

It regained the courage and martial arts of the Han family children who originated from the Qin Emperor and the Han Wu of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors, and regained the glory that had been lost.

And now, I'm old,

Further carry forward the inheritance of Chinese culture, so that it spreads all over the world like a spark and forms a stable pan-Chinese cultural circle. It has become your historical responsibility and that of future generations, and it will take fifty, a hundred, two hundred or even more years to continue to push forward.

Take a look at recent history

The Spanish colonized South America for 300 years, leaving a distinct imprint on Spanish culture and a social group that widely used Spanish.

During the 150 years of British colonization of North America, English became the common language of the continent.

The rise of the Tang Empire was still short, but its influence throughout the Americas was increasingly apparent, extending the Mandarin language to every corner of North and South America.

Dominated by the Tang Empire and its allies, the population of the entire Americas who speak Chinese is about 155 million, accounting for about half of the total population of the region.

That wasn't enough, I wanted to see it;

The Chinese language can become the number one official language in the Americas, and in South America, it will be jointly promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Colonies and the Minister of South American Affairs.

Peru and Bolivia have already expressed their affection, which is a reflection of the strong charm of Oriental culture.

It is expected that in the coming decades, the process of pan-Chinese transformation in South America will be greatly accelerated.

The real difficulty is in North America, which is at the forefront of the cultural confrontation between the East and the West, and it is also the most difficult region.

Spain, after all, was in decline and could not compete with the empire in terms of international influence and military, political and economic aspects.

And the Gu Gru-Saxon white culture represented by the United Kingdom is different, they are now at their peak, and their influence and appeal are extremely strong, this is a real tough battle.

The Minister of North American Affairs is the first person to be the first person to do so, and he will give you the authority to act in concert with all the departments of the Cabinet, and to tilt the financial funds to help promote the deepening of the Chinese culture.

To get to that point

It must have absolute influence to influence the political situation in North American countries, and with the current division of the United States as an opportunity, the empire is making every effort to promote the "Florida Republic version" of a close military-political alliance.

To my relief;

The Kingdom of Kentucky and the Kingdom of Oklahoma naturally need not say much, and the Republic of Florida and the Republic of Mississippi are also advancing quite smoothly.

There are many Bahasa schools in the country, attracting many white children to enter Bahasa schools from an early age, accounting for the majority of the educated population, which is a very good sign.

Next

In the newly independent republics of New York, the Republic of Connecticut, and the Democratic Republic of Maine, we should replicate the successful experiences of a large number of them and promote them in depth.

In this regard

The Imperial Military, Finance, Culture, Health and Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Colonial Ministries and the Interior will work closely together to help implement this long-term strategy.

I hope in a few years

Not only in the Tang Empire and vassal states, but also in the countries of North and South America, the Chinese language can become the first official language, which will mark the complete victory of Chinese culture.

It may take a long time, and I may not see that day, but whoever carries on the imperial bloodline must continue to implement this basic policy......"

"Long live Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, long live, your Majesty is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, my Tang Empire cannot be left without an owner for a day, and Weichen asks Your Majesty not to say this." Lord Pan Shouguo heard His Majesty's unlucky words, and his heartstrings were tugged at fiercely.

He didn't dare to imagine;

If the empire loses the helm of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, what kind of shaking will it be, and people's hearts will be confused?

Emperor Richard saw that Lord Pan Shouguo reacted so violently, it was loyalty from the heart, not mixed with false ingredients, and he secretly praised it in his heart.

So he turned the conversation and said;

"Pan Aiqing, from now on, I have instructed you to select capable personnel in each deployment to form a comprehensive government office with strong executive power, which will be under the direct jurisdiction of the North American Affairs Department, and can act cheaply. Have the right to listen to the music directly. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order."

"Besides, I will decree; The Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Colonies were ordered to transfer to the Department of North American Affairs personnel stationed abroad, to transfer the intelligence network that has been developed over the years, and to hand over the personnel of experienced operatives and other personnel, so as to strengthen the operational capacity of the Department of North American Affairs. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order, and should go all out to implement the pan-Chinese policy, at any cost."

"Great goodness, let go of your hands and feet to do things, and ...... when necessary You can kick off those stumbling blocks. ”

"Wechen understands."

The meaning of His Majesty's last sentence is already obvious, and the power has been greatly delegated.

Those in power who stand in the way of policy implementation can be kicked off by all means, including but not limited to subverting the government, assassinating or smearing.

Which cabinet of the empire can have such cheap power?

The more this was the case, the more Lord Pan Shouguo felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and he could hardly breathe.

With great power comes great responsibility!

After Lord Pan Shouguo left with a solemn expression, Emperor Richard still sat on the throne, cautiously deducing the current situation in North America.

Although the Tang Empire occupies all kinds of advantages, there is no historical experience to follow in the current chaos, and he does not dare to slack off at all.

The chaos in North America has attracted great attention from the world powers, and Tang, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and other countries have so far not recognized the three countries of Maine, Connecticut and New York, which were the first to become independent.

What calculations they have in their hearts, Emperor Richard is simply insightful.

Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and other countries want influence and trade interests, and are in contact with these three countries separately, and it is expected that they will not achieve satisfactory results in a short time, and European countries are not so fast.

What France wants is debt restructuring negotiations, which is the most difficult, and it is estimated that it will be delayed until the end.

What the Tang Dynasty wants is to conclude comprehensive political, economic and military relations, and it wants more and more comprehensive, but it is likely to achieve its goal first.

For these small North American countries, they can only choose between confrontation and cooperation.

The template is ready-made, that is, the "Florida Republic Plan", and the treaties can be directly applied as long as they are slightly modified, which is convenient and saves time and effort.

The reason why no treaty was concluded was just a little reserve left in the hearts of these small North American countries.

It is hoped that through bargaining, a little cookie scrap can be leaked from the hands of the Tang Empire, which is a beautiful meal for them.

For example, economic aid and loans, such as the international debt restructuring that the French are closely watching, such as special preferential tariff reductions for certain products, such as supporting industrial development in certain fields, and so on.

As long as the expectations of the Tang Empire are met, these can be given.

It is a short-sighted policy to make the cake of the entire North American market bigger and stronger, and the Tang Empire, which dominates the North American market, can enjoy the greatest benefits, not just limited to the immediate pearls.

The Tang Empire's infiltration into the economic and cultural fields of the small countries in North America must pay attention to ways and means, and this is the most important topic at present.

The solution is also ready-made, that is, the "Tang Dream", which is a propaganda policy similar to the original historical time and space "American Dream", aiming to create a tempting dream of getting rich quickly.

After 44 years of rapid economic development and continuous colonization and expansion, the Tang Empire already has countless vivid facts of getting rich, and it only needs to package and publicize these stories a little.

The "Tang Dream" was jointly created by the Imperial Propaganda Department and public opinion circles, and is imperceptibly influencing North America and even Europe. Let the white society be full of strong interest in Chinese culture, full of yearning, and willing to consciously understand and dissolve.

It would be part of the Empire's soft power, and at some point, even better than the military.

France is a good example of the opposite, dispatching an expeditionary force of more than 50,000 troops for more than two years, but still failed in disgrace.

The Tang Empire did not want the North American countries to become the "Balkans of the Americas", so having a mainstream culture and mainstream ethnic group was a prerequisite for all stable societies.

Emperor Richard knew without guessing;

The current situation of the division of North America is very much in line with the appetite of the British, and with its-stirring stick, it is inevitable that it will fan the flames, stir up the east and the west, and cause unrest in the neighbors, which is the original meaning of the title.

Datang vigorously promoted the "Florida Republic version" in the divided North American countries, which was to prevent the British from building a fence first.

Seriously thought about it

Emperor Lee sensed that among the newly established Three Kingdoms, he should take the lead in using the Republic of Connecticut as a breakthrough to realize the "Florida Republic's version" of a close military-political and economic alliance.

The Republic of Maine was heavily influenced by the British, while the Republic of New York was full of concerns, and neither was a good target to break through.

Despite the fact that the Chinese population is extremely influential in New York State, Chen Huichuan, a Chinese-American Liberal, became the first president of the New York Republic, achieving the expected goals of the Tang Empire. In fact, the differences in the interests of the two countries are not narrowing, but increasing.

Let's not talk about the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China

The Tang Empire frequently attacked, directly destroying several of the New York Republic's dream of joining forces to establish a state, and dealt a severe blow to the Liberal Party of Chinese.

Let's just say now, from the point of view of the fundamental interests of the Republic of New York;

As a medium-sized country with a population of over 10 million, it ranks second in the whole of North America in terms of population, second only to the Tang Empire.

Compared to other small countries in fragmented North America, the Republic of New York does have a lot to be proud of.

It has an international metropolis on the east coast like New York, and the best choice in its national interest is to keep an appropriate distance from the world's major powers in order to maximize its national interests.

Instead of rashly choosing a certain camp and tying yourself to the chariot of the Tang Empire.

In doing so, the Republic of New York's international room for maneuver and independence were greatly affected, and it was labeled as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

In the face of interests, people's hearts will change.

Emperor Richard was the first to choose the Republic of Connecticut as a breakthrough target because this small North American country consisting of the original states of Connecticut and Rhode Island relied heavily on entrepot trade and shipping.

Its industry and agriculture are not developed, and Boston, New Haven, and Brockton are all excellent trading ports in its territory, and the railway transportation in its territory is developed, and there is direct competition with New York Port.

The Republic of Connecticut has entrepot trade, shipping and shipbuilding as its three major economic pillars, and this is precisely the field where Chinese capital is deeply penetrated, and it has a strong voice in it.

As long as you drop some benefits, plus some small pressure means, you are not afraid that the other party will not comply.

Small countries have the philosophy of survival of small countries, and small European countries have the most profound experience of this.

In many cases, you have to stand in line, you have to rely on the big countries to be able to show your existence, and when necessary, you have to be the vanguard of waving the flag and shouting.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be wiped out in the great power competition, as simple as stepping on a grasshopper.
