"Indomitable-class battleship? Is it the jointly developed superhero-class battleship? This battleship has been developed?"
Little Adams, the President of the United States, doesn't know how difficult it is to develop a "superhero" class? This is not just about drawing a picture first and then casually compiling some technical parameters and then everything will be ok. When the beautifully drawn drawings and even more beautifully compiled technical parameters come true, you have to overcome technical difficulties one by one. Moreover, the picture of this superhero ship used to deceive people is so good, and the technical parameters are so well compiled. For Daying, it did not skip one level, but two levels in a row... one The first level is to change the king's power, and the second is to imitate the hero. Only by mastering these two can you become a super hero.
But using it to fool friends and opponents is another matter...
"No, no, not a superhero... That project will take at least 5 years to complete." Viscount Palmerston said, "And the current situation is very critical. Once Ming Dynasty delivers heroes to the Mexican Empire and Bolivar, Ships, those Catholic military strongmen can carry out military adventures. Although the United States has great advantages on land, the U.S. coastline is still too long. If there is not a strong navy that can defend the coastline, then Agustin I and President Bolivar’s fleet may reach the Potomac River, and then this white house will be..."
Hearing this, Little Adams' face turned dark!
It would be shameful for the British father to set fire to the white house he lives in now... That time, it was the American traitor who first beat the unfilial British father, but then he failed to beat him and was punished by the British father. But what kind of shame would it be for a traitor to be punished by an unfilial father? Moreover, the British Empire at that time had just defeated Napoleon and was at its peak. Therefore, the Presidential Palace will be burned if it is burned. After the burning, it will be repaired and it can still be used. It’s not a big deal if a father beats his son. And more importantly, the United States actually did not suffer a big loss in this war...except for the burning of the presidential palace.
Not long after it opened, the United States and Great Britain, the number one power in the West, had a tough fight. In the end, neither one won, so they burned down the presidential palace and signed a peace treaty that was a futile effort. For the United States, it actually creates a name for itself.
But if the white house of the United States is set on fire by the Mexican sky soldiers, the situation will be different, and the foundation of the United States may be shaken.
The foundation of the United States in this era was the steady stream of white immigrants coming from Europe. The United States is the first destination for white immigrants to come to America!
But there is more to America than the United States. Why don’t those white immigrants go to Mexico or Gran Colombia? Oh, there are some people going there, but few. They are not at the same level as those going to the United States.
Why is everyone going to the United States? Of course it’s because the United States has institutional advantages! But how to prove the advantages of this system? Read the constitution? Read the Declaration of Independence? Who doesn’t know how to talk beautifully? The South American revolutionary Simon Bolivar next door had more beautiful words. But who goes to Gran Colombia? The reason why everyone goes to the United States is simply that the United States is powerful and wealthy...and power is the main reason! Because Mexico, the countries in Bolivar's hands, and the newly independent Brazil have fewer people and more resources, and they directly produce gold and silver, their per capita GDP is quite high. But the United States is stronger than these new Spanish-speaking or Portuguese-speaking countries!
The fact that the United States can go head-to-head with the British Empire shows how powerful it is!
And the strength of the United States is proof of the superiority of the American system... So we must not let Agustin and Bolivar come to burn down the White House!
"Then not surrendering is..." the US president quickly asked.
"The Indomitable class is a battleship developed based on the Sovereign class and is slightly inferior to the Hero class... But I can assure you that two Indomitable classes are enough to compete with one Hero class!" Viscount Palmerston said, "We The British Royal Navy will also equip a large number of battleships of this class. Mr. President, I sincerely suggest that the United States first purchases and produces 5 Indomitus-class ships for emergency use. Two of them will be purchased from the United Kingdom. We can also transfer technology to help you produce them. Another 3 ships. By producing the Indomitable class, you will be able to master the manufacturing technology of 15,000-ton battleships. For the backward shipbuilding industry of the United States, this is undoubtedly a leap forward!"
The President of the United States finally showed a satisfied smile - these days Americans are working hard to industrialize and are trying their best to "steal" various technologies from Great Britain and Ming Dynasty to copy them. This is because they firmly believe that renting is worse than buying, and buying is worse than building.
However, the technology for building large-tonnage battleships cannot be "stealed" casually. Now that the British father is willing to teach, that is really what I wish for... It seems that this unfilial father is still his real father after all!
"Mr. President," Robert Peel struck while the iron was hot, "we and the Indian Empire are planning to establish a North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty Organization to counter the so-called Celestial Organization of the Ming Empire! We hope that the United States of America, as the leading country on the American continent, will Join the North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Organization as a sponsor."
This sounds great!
The President of the United States glanced at Secretary of State Henry Clay, who immediately asked: "What kind of organization is this North Atlantic-Indian Ocean Treaty Organization?"
"The nature of the alliance!" Robert Peel said, "It is a military alliance! If the Mexican Empire and Bolivar dare to invade the United States with the support of the Ming Empire, our British Empire and the Indian Empire will definitely join the war on the side of the United States of America!"
U.S. President Adams Jr. nodded and said to Robert Beale, "Your Excellency, your suggestion is indeed very attractive... We will definitely consider it seriously."
After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the United States of America, and he is not the all-powerful commander-in-chief like Bolivar, so the alliance with Britain has to be discussed on Capitol Hill. And among the gentlemen on Capitol Hill, there are still many who regard British fathers as their enemies... After all, many of the "unfilial generation" who opened up the United States are still alive!
However, Adams Jr.'s push for the United States to join the British-Indian Alliance was much easier than he imagined. It was not the "filial return" of the gentlemen on Capitol Hill, but the port of Guayaquil facing the Pacific Ocean in the Republic of Gran Colombia. Simon Bolivar, the presidents of Gran Colombia and Bolivar and the Supreme President of Peru, put forward a proposal to form a Pacific Rim Cooperation Organization.
Simon Bolivar, who is in his forties, suffers from tuberculosis, has a thin body, a large forehead, and a sallow complexion. After watching the test firing of the main gun of the battleship Hero, he was anchored in Yamato, Ecuador (belonging to the Republic of Big Brother). In the lobby of the No. 1 Floating Hotel, I met Guo Zhiqian, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to Mexico, Xu Jishe, the Ming Dynasty ambassador to Gran Colombia, Bolivar, and Peru, and the Mexican Emperor Agustín I (this emperor seemed to have a good relationship with Bolivar) Proposed the idea of organizing the Pacific Rim Cooperation Organization.
This far-sighted South American great man sat in an armchair and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I believe that mutual recognition of independence by countries is the principle of this cooperative organization. The cooperative organization is not a military alliance, but a group of countries. A voluntary mutual aid organization. The purpose of establishing it is mainly economic. We, the newly born New World countries, need funds, technology, and commodities from the Old World, and are willing to exchange our rich natural resources. In fact, we have enough of natural resources! But the exchange must be carried out on the basis of mutual benefit. Of course, this organization also has a certain military mutual assistance function, because Ming Dynasty has the need to export military products and military technology, and we also have the need to strengthen defense. However, cooperative organizations It is by no means a military alliance. It cannot be used against a third party. Even if a country in the organization encounters an invasion by a third party, other countries are not obliged to provide military assistance..."
