Yingtian, Hot Spring Palace, Wude Hall.

Zhu Jishi stood behind a huge sand table with his hands behind his back. There was no emotion or anger on his face as he lowered his head and looked down at the sand table. However, his current expression has already explained his views on the current situation in America - the world of North America.

After this battle in the Chosen Country, a king is likely to be born! Not a king who wears a crown and calls himself the king, but the leader of the entire North American continent - this person is probably Zhu Juan!

Because he knew that there would be an American emperor in the future, Zhu Jishi thought that if Donghua was allowed to occupy most of the American territory including the Great Lakes area, Zhu Juan could also be the king of Mexico, and at the same time there would be a good-tempered Zhu Heng occupying Alaska.

and most of Canada. This kind of North American layout is enough for Zhu Juan to create an "America" ​​in North America, an America with Chinese as the main body, while absorbing some Indians and white European immigrants, but without black people...

"Your Majesty, are you worried about things in North America?" Zuo Zongtang didn't know when he "wrongly" went to Wude Palace. As a veteran who had retreated to the second line in the year of liberation, Zhu Guoxiong would naturally not let him return again.

Become prime minister - and the Donglin Party does not have such support. The title of an advisor minister seems to be worth it until death.

"Ji Gao, are you here from the emperor?" Zhu Jishi asked calmly.

Although Zuo Zongtang could not serve as prime minister again, his qualifications and experience were obvious. Zhu Guoxiong still relied on him and really used him as an adviser instead of giving him a name.

Zuo Zongtang smiled and said, "I dare to ask the emperor, do you really want King Donghua to become bigger?"

Zhu Jishi's face darkened little by little. Zuo Zongtang must have come to ask on behalf of Fu Guoxiong. His legitimate son, everything else is good, but he is a bit petty, and he should have inherited it from Luo Xiangmei...

"King Donghua became big because of his ability and opportunity, and it was also a blessing to the Zhu Ming Dynasty and the billions of people in China!"

Zhu Jishi's voice was a little gloomy, but Zuo Zongtang still smiled broadly, "Why don't you let King Donghua also be called the emperor in the future?"

"It's just a false name!" Zhu Jishi said with a stern face. "I will make my own arrangements in the future, and I will never let my brothers turn against each other."

In Zuo Zongtang's opinion, if Zhu Huan really wants to occupy North America and become the leader of the Americas, Ming Dynasty and Donghua will be on equal footing sooner or later!

"But it's too early to discuss this matter now!" Zhu Jishi paused and said, "Even if Juan had the opportunity to lead North America, it would be after reducing North America to ruins and without thirty years of recuperation. Donghua and Beizhou in North America would

It is impossible for Hua to become truly powerful. And these thirty years... aren't they enough to make Ming strong enough to suppress all opponents?".

Zuo Zongtang frowned and said nothing. He knew what Zhu Jishi said was right. North America has been devastated by wars in the past ten years. It is not only ruins but also devastated. Moreover, the blood feud between Yellow and White has been forged, and it has not been destroyed for decades or hundreds of years.

Nothing to do

It can be resolved by law. In addition, the powerful countries in Europe will definitely not be willing to let a chosen country like North America fall into the hands of the Chinese. And the Ming Dynasty... is also very afraid of Donghua in North America. Zhu Juan will probably have to fight for it for the rest of his life.

Worry about internal and external troubles.

But the foundation of North America is really good. It is a truly chosen country, with extremely rich land resources and the protection of two oceans. Therefore, this level of internal and external troubles is very difficult for Donghua, who occupies North America and has a very powerful army.

, is nothing more than a driving force to immerse ourselves in development. Perhaps the more worries there are, the more Donghua can develop. Without the awareness of worries, the superior environment in North America will easily lead to the country's decay. Nowadays, New Japan, which is increasingly addicted to comfort, may be a lesson from the past.

.

"Husband Ji Gao, the final decisive battle in North America has not yet been fought. Isn't it too early for us to worry about how Donghua will become bigger?" Zhu Jishi changed the topic, "If the war in North America goes unfavorably, what are the countermeasures?"

What this means is that Zhu Huan’s strength needs to be strengthened at present! Although Zhu Huan’s arrival in North America will become a potential opponent of the Ming Dynasty, Donghua is a Chinese country after all, and it is a brother country with the Ming Dynasty, and it also represents the living space of the Chinese descendants.

——Immigration to Donghua alone in the future can greatly reduce the pressure of the growing domestic population. This means that the Chinese people in the future can enjoy greater living space and more resources, and of course a richer life.

!

Once Huan is defeated, Donghua is subjugated, and America is resurrected, then the Ming Dynasty will immediately have a mortal enemy! The living space of the descendants of China will also be greatly compressed, which will be even more detrimental to the future stability of the Ming Empire.

"The emperor said that with all the preparations, it is impossible for Donghua to be defeated. Because he has ordered 2,000 tons of green gas and 50,000 masks to be shipped to Donghua."

That’s 2,000 tons of chlorine and 50,000 gas masks!

…

September 8, Port Mathilde.

Military vehicles and soldiers coming and going on the road add a bit of tension to this port city located at the eastern entrance of the Tehuantepec Grand Canal. The city was built more than 20 years ago when the Grand Canal was dug.

, it was called Puerto Victoria at the time, and was renamed Puerto Matilde after it was taken back by the Mexican Empire.

The favorable terrain at the entrance to the Grand Canal, a series of preferential policies from the Mexican Empire and huge investments and immigrants from Europe, and of course the stable social environment for more than two decades, as well as the influence of the Mexican Empire and even the French American Empire (now

Supported by the vast hinterland of the Roman Western Empire, this city is almost the fastest-growing port city and industrial center in the entire Americas.

On the docks and berths of the port area, ships of all sizes are connected end to end, and they are crowded like a main road on the water. There are many chimneys in the factory buildings in the industrial area, constantly spitting out thick smoke and making deafening roars. Textile factories, printing and dyeing factories

, chemical factory, clothing factory, cannery, flour

Factories, shipyards, hardware factories, arsenals... all kinds of factories are working day and night. Because of the war, all factories' orders are fully booked, and every businessman has made huge profits.

, each worker also received a high salary that was unimaginable in the past.

The entire city, like other areas of the Kingdom of Mexico, is immersed in the prosperity brought by the war wealth. However, the pace of the war is getting closer and closer to the Mexicans. Martí, the Caesar and Consul of the Western Empire who had just arrived in New France,

As soon as he got off the boat, he approved by telegram the order to set up a wartime base camp in Mexico City and mobilize the Mexican Army. Since the world was in the midst of a war, the Mexican army had already made preparations for mobilization and war. On the day of receiving the order,

The first batch of draft notices were sent out.

On the fifth day after the mobilization order was issued, the city of Puerto Matilde seemed to be completely dominated by the dark green Roman army and the Mexican army. Groups of soldiers came from Mexico City on a train and got off the train.

After that, before they had time to take a breath, under the supervision of the officer, the team headed to the military dock in Port Mathilde.

There, a merchant ship belonging to the Mexican American Shipping Company (Ju Juan's property) had already lowered its gangway, waiting for these soldiers to board the ship, and then immediately pulled anchor and left the port. The waves in the port were not small, causing these merchant ships to rise and fall.

.The warships originally belonging to the Mexican Navy that have been incorporated into the Roman Navy are already on standby outside Port Matilde. Looking from the heights of the forts guarding the port, you can see the smoke columns on the horizon and the sound of steam whistles.

This is the American fleet of the Roman Navy waiting for the troop transport group to be loaded. They will escort the entire Mexican Foreign Legion to fight in Brazil - but at this time, no one realizes that the upcoming Brazilian war will be so long and bloody.

.

"Henry, do you really don't need King Lopez to send troops?" Looking back from the smoke pillars in the distance, Zhu Juan turned to look at his cousin,...

Of course, he was not satisfied with Matilde's decision to let Juan Juan take charge of the Mexican army to quell the Brazilian rebellion. However, he also knew that he could not know about Matilde and his son because his biological father, Napoleon III, was already dead.

His half-brother Napoleon IV would rather give the position of Caesar to Mathilde than to him - in Napoleon III's arrangement, he was to be the emperor of the Mexican Empire!

Moreover, the residence of Caesar of the Roman Empire and the consuls of the Western Empire were both in Mexico City. Obviously, the Kingdom of Mexico would be directly managed by Caesar himself! His future could only be in Brazil, but Brazil had a revolution at this very moment.

"Use the state of Rio Grande do Sul in exchange for the support of that careerist?", "Does he think I don't know that he is behind this incident?".

"You can agree to his request first, and it won't be too late to deal with him after the North American War." Zhu Juan paused, "Henry, Brazil is the most populous, largest, and richest country in South America. Even if it temporarily loses

Rio Grande do Sul doesn't have much influence either. As long as you can govern Brazil well, you will be the master of South America in the future."

This statement was a bit straightforward. He looked at Juan and asked, "Huan, are you so unfavorable to the Roman Empire?"

Zhu Juan smiled lightly and said, "Henry, I think you have the same view?"

, noncommittal. "Let all the officers of the Foreign Legion major and above come to the fortress and pledge their allegiance to me. In addition, I want 100 million silver pesos. Juan, I know you just received a large sum of money... so that I can recover

Brazil, go and be the king of Brazil!" (To be continued...)
