"General, the Council of the Twelve City Lords has passed a resolution to establish the Aztec Republic and elect you as the President of the Republic!"

In the mansion of the general Zhengdong of the Ming Dynasty in the city of Acapulco, Geng Juyi's henchman, wearing a robe, Li Daoren, who claimed to be a heavenly master, rushed over with a floating dust, and reported the good news that he had been elected as the president to Geng Juyi, the general of Zhengdong.

Hearing the news, Geng Juyi, who was playing against the "President of the United States" Wu Guogui, shook his body, and the whole person looked excited, and slapped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard: "Surrounded, President Wu, see what other tricks you have!" ”

Wu Guogui, who was sitting opposite him, was wearing a sweat coat and shaking a big fan, and when he heard Geng Juyi's words, he just smiled and hugged his fists: "Brother Geng, congratulations, you are also a big president now." You are a president, and I am a president, so we can get closer to each other in the future. ”

Geng Juyi patted his thigh and said with a laugh: "That's natural, Third Brother Wu, don't worry, when I enter Mexico and restore the territory of the Aztec Republic, I will help you pacify California When the time comes, you will have money and food, and everything will be wrapped up in the younger brother." ”

"Okay, good," Wu Guogui smiled all over his face, "Brother Geng, my president can't be compared to your president of the Aztec Republic!" What does the American empire have? Except for the land, there is nothing that can be compared to your Aztec Republic, Brother Geng? I have heard that the Aztec Republic is rich in silver and gold, and has a population of several million, more than the people of the Kingdom of Spain itself!

When Brother Geng invaded Mexico City, he was the first person in the New World! ”

Wu Guogui's current low profile is not unreasonable, this is the reaction of the real national strength of the US imperialists and Lao Mo!

The current US imperialism and the old Mobi are nothing at all. Although Louis XIV was crowned Emperor of the East of the American Empire, and Zhu Cijiong was also named Emperor of the West, neither the Ming nor the French were now able to send large numbers of immigrants to North America.

After all, the Atlantic and Pacific shipping lanes were not very smooth, and there were Dutch privateers flying the Spanish flag on one side and the Spanish Armada on the other. Of course, the Grand Fleet can break through, but if a small fleet of immigrants encounters them, it will be a dead end.

Moreover, even if no one stops them, if Ming and France want to increase the number of US imperialists to several million, it will not be something that can be achieved in 10 years or 8 years. However, the two lines of "anti-Spanish monarchy" and "Aztec republic" on Geng Juyi's side advanced very smoothly, so that the three major encirclements and suppressions of the Viceroyalty of New Spain failed to win, and the city-state of Acre grew stronger and stronger, from one city to twelve cities.

Recently, because the king and prime minister of Spain were discarded by the Roman Church, they suddenly became "Aztec orthodoxy" - and now the Roman Church has not only dismissed Carlos II and Juan. José's canonship also abolished the papal meridian once again. From the point of view of the Catholic Church, the legitimacy of the Spanish king's rule over the colonies of New Spain was lost.

And the Spanish king's new Spain is not legal, so won't the legal system of the Aztec Empire come back? Although Geng Juyi is not an Aztec royal family, he is not an emperor or a king now, he is a republican and a great president! There are also twelve free city-states in North America, and the legal system to be president is very sufficient.

So as long as he enters Mexico City as a victor under the banner of the Aztec Republic, under the banner of freedom, equality, equal wealth, and anti-Spanish enslavement, he will soon be able to take the Mexica Valley, the most populated area on the American continent, and may open up land communication between the Pacific and the Atlantic! This is much more convenient than taking the land route within the American Empire. You don't have to go to Panama, and the distance from Tehuantepec Bay on the Pacific side to Campeche Bay on the Atlantic side is only 400 miles by land.

The cost of thousands of miles of transportation lines cannot be lowered, but as long as the 400-mile transportation lines are operated carefully, the cost is still controllable.

Since the cost is controllable, it is logical to turn the east-west trade route, and once the east-west trade route is changed to the Aztec Republic, the Aztec Republic will not only have mines at home, but also an international trade toll station, and it will be difficult to become rich and strong.

If the Aztecs had worked a little harder, they might have become the first industrialized country in the Americas!

Therefore, the victory of the Aztec Republic would not only cause the Kingdom of Spain to lose countless gold and silver revenues, but also cut off the financial routes of Britain and the Netherlands. This is the hatred of murderous parents!

And Spanish Prime Minister Juan Brown, who had just returned to Madrid from Naples, Italy, was disgraced. Jose and John on behalf of the new King William III of England. Churchill and the two didn't care about how to kill Louis XIV, but how to exterminate the soon-to-be-born Aztec Republic as the main issue - the two of them have not yet received the news of the establishment of the Aztec Republic, but the news that Geng Juyi scattered the heroic post and summoned the heroes of the twelve city-states to Acapulco to hold a meeting to establish the Aztec Republic had already been heard by the Marquis of Arcenta, the governor of New Spain, and reported to Madrid.

"John, this Aztec republic has now become a major threat to the stability and rules of the world, and if we do not stifle it in time, then all our efforts in Europe will eventually come to naught! The Kingdom of Spain will decline by losing the wealth of the New World, and England and Holland will decline by losing their rich trade revenues. At that time, there will be no force in the world that can prevent the Ming Dynasty from dominating the East, and no one will be able to stop Louis XIV's hegemony in Europe, and the whole world will lose its former glory and fall into the darkness dominated by the two evil empires of France and the Ming! ”

Juan who spent some time in Rome. Jose's oratorical level has grown a lot, but his mouth cannon can't help him defeat his increasingly arrogant opponents.

His battle in Italy was almost a complete defeat, not only did Rome not hold, but even the Duchy of Milan was gone, and he was simply a big loss.

If it weren't for William III's actions in England, the expulsion of Charles II and the Duke of York one after another, and then the ascension to the English throne with his wife, which began to pose a huge threat to Louis XIV's back, so that he had to give up the conquest of Naples, Spain's possessions in Italy would probably be left with only one Sicily.

And William III, who successfully entered London, also realized that the situation was critical, so as soon as he sat down in Kensington Palace, he sent his new younger brother and old friend John. Churchill came to Madrid – this John . Churchill is known throughout history as the Duke of Marlborough, who, together with Prince Eugen, became the two largest mountains on Louis XIV's path to domination in Europe, and ultimately stopped Louis XIV.

But now, he is known for his little white face and both men and women, not only has an ambiguous relationship with William III, but also soaks the best friend of William III's sister-in-law, Princess Anne. And his sister was the Duke of York, the mistress of the historical James II.

Bed politics has been played to this point, and he is still one of the best players in Europe, and there is no one else!

This John. Churchill also played the role of the British Wu Sangui in history, and was entrusted with the important task of resisting the Dutch by James II, but as a result, he led the army to defect, threw himself into the arms of William III, and led the Dutch soldiers into the city of London.

By the way, it seems that he was also responsible for negotiating the marriage contract between William III and Princess Mary - he is still a "matchmaker", what a talent!

This talent, and William III's old friend (they got along well when the Duke of York was in exile in the Netherlands), in this Dutch Heavenly Soldier into the British incident, and led the Duke of York to make up the Qin Wang Army to defect, and continued to be the "glorious British traitor", and now it is naturally very useful.

So as soon as William III became king of England, he sent him to Madrid to fight with Juan. Jose discussed how to oppose the law. I didn't expect the situation on the New World to become so fast, and the Spanish world empire was already a little precarious!

So he didn't care about being with Juan. Jose is discussing anti-French, let's discuss how to oppose Albania and anti-Ming first!

"Prime Minister, this Aztec Republic is clearly a serious violation of the international situation and the sovereignty of Spain, and the British King and the Dutch ruling government definitely support any action of the Kingdom of Spain to preserve sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to maintain the international order! If necessary, His Majesty the King and Consul will definitely send a combined Anglo-Dutch fleet to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Aztec Republic! ”

John. Churchill's clear stance immediately gave the Spanish prime minister hope. He was very interested in John. Churchill said: "I have sent the Duke of Villahermosa with 12,000 mercenaries on board the sailing ship to New Spain, and he will be the commander-in-chief of the Spanish army in the Americas!" ”

Hearing that the Duke of Villahermosa was going to lead an army of 12,000 to the New World, John Murphy heard that the Duke of Villahermosa would lead an army of 12,000 men. Churchill's handsome little white face showed a smile full of confidence in Spain: "This duke is a great general, with him as the commander-in-chief of the new Spanish army, it seems that the puppet republic of the Chinese in the New World will not last long." ”

This Duke of Villahermosa had served as governor of the Spanish Netherlands and commander-in-chief of the Flanders Legion in the Franco-Dutch War, leading the Spanish army against the French army for several years, except for the failure to win, all aspects were impeccable.

And his army of 12,000 is the most elite German mercenaries!

Juan. José was originally going to use this army for a great counteroffensive in Italy, but Louis XIV, who had an additional military expenditure of 200 million livres, showed great courage and sent 100,000 troops to Italy!

In the face of so many enemies, Juan. José could only give up, leaving only a small number of troops in Naples and ready to give up at any time

But Juan. Jose can give up Naples, but not New Spain.

Because within the Kingdom of Spain there is a well-established fact - the existing Spanish Empire, and then the Spanish Kingdom.

In other words, the Kingdom of Spain was born and consolidated entirely on the wealth of the Spanish colonial empire brought by the discovery of the New World, otherwise Castile and Aragon, as well as a few other small states, as well as two knights and a large number of feudal lords, would not have been able to form the Kingdom of Spain.

And once Spain loses her colonial empire, then she will withdraw from the great powers, if not fall apart, and become an insignificant country.

"John," Juan. Jose is not very optimistic about the prospect of the fourth encirclement and suppression of the Aztec Republic, "Although the Duke of Villahermosa is a great general, our enemy, the Ming Empire, has also sent a famous commander to the New World, named Wu Guogui, or one of the eight republican kings of the Ming Empire, you know, the Ming Dynasty is a country with a population of 60 million, if they continue to send troops to the New World, it will be difficult for us to compare with them." ”

"Don't worry," said John. Churchill assured, "They can't send troops to the New World without a steady stream of energy!" Because King William III had already issued an order to the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company, ordering them to join the Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Mongolian navies in the East to jointly wage a naval strangulation war against the Ming Empire!

Now, all business interests are no longer important, and victory is everything! ”

After obtaining the British throne, William III finally made up his mind and prepared to fight a world war with the Ming Dynasty, France, Rakshasa and the American imperialists!

Edo, the headquarters of the Spanish Armada.

Although the main force of the Spanish Armada had escorted 10,000 Japanese mercenaries to Luzon to fight the "Ming army", there were still some fourth-class battleships and gunboats remaining in Japan, and their mission was to intercept any Ming ships that tried to pass through the Japanese coast to the New World.

And the commander of the Spanish Armada Pedro. Morality. Admiral Sabala had to keep an eye on the rapid changes in the situation in the Ming Dynasty, Japan, the Qing Dynasty, Korea, and the Great Zhou, so he did not follow the fleet to attack, but stayed in the comfort of the Edo headquarters.

During his stay in Edo, Spearman, the Qing Emperor's envoy and former governor of Batavia of the Dutch East India Company, and Zheng Zheng, a foreign servant of the Great Cleaning Domain, arrived in Japan together.

This joint operation is all about weakening friendly forces and destroying the enemy. In fact, it's the same thing, the key is how to save yourself, as long as the enemy and friendly forces are gone, won't you win?

And before studying how to conduct joint operations, the two sides have to settle accounts and see how many armies and navies each side can pull out.

"At present, the Spanish Armada has a total of one first-class battleship, two second-class battleships, five third-class battleships, twenty-one fourth-class battleships, thirty Spanish galleons, a total of fifty-nine warships of all classes, plus 50,000 Japanese mercenaries and 3,000 Spanish Army!"

"Our Dutch East India Company currently has more than 140 armed merchant ships and gunboats, as well as more than 10,000 European mercenaries and tens of thousands of indigenous troops ready to fight for us!"

"I, the Qing Emperor, have gathered 350,000 heavenly soldiers. In addition, there are 200,000 troops in Da Zhou who can fight with us, and this is 550,000 troops! ”

"The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan also had more than 200,000 troops available. Roughly calculated, our available troops in the East Asian battlefield have exceeded 800,000, more than 200 ships of various types, and have formed a siege against the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Makes sense, General, you have a very reasonable point, the first shot of the battle of the Ming Dynasty, or it will be fired by Spain!"

Zheng Xi, who heard Dutch speaking an awkward Hokkien accent, proposed that the Spanish Armada fire the first shot. Morality. The smile on Admiral Zabala's face immediately disappeared: "What? Shall we attack first? Didn't you say that you were going to lure the enemy deeper? If we attack first, then it is still so tempting to the enemy? “

Zheng Xi said with a smile: "General, don't worry, luring the enemy deep and defending a city with one country is just fake news released by the emperor. The battle hasn't been fought yet, how can our Qing Dynasty's strategy of breaking the enemy be spread everywhere? Our real strategy is "

He was only halfway through his words, Pedro. Morality. Admiral Zabala's office door was slammed, and then an anxious Spanish voice came from outside: "Your Excellency, the 4th class battleship Barcelona has just returned to port urgently. It encountered the Grand Fleet of the Ming Navy off the coast of Japan, with at least 60 large sail battleships on the enemy's side! Heading northeast, sailing with the currents! “
