"What? Those yellow-skinned monkeys dare to send more troops to Texas?" President Jackson's temper immediately rose when he heard the report from his Secretary of War, John Henry Yinton.
The attack in Texas City, Texas, already made Jackson very angry!
This thing seems to be all the fault of the Japanese... At that time, Sam Houston, the leader of the American immigrants in Texas, led 2,000 Texas militiamen (Americans) to attack the Texas city built by the Japanese on the seaside. Not only did the latter not Surrender and set up an ambush outside Dezhou City! The damn Japanese used a dense firepower network composed of 155mm howitzers, 75mm field guns, and 7.5mm water-cooled machine guns to suddenly cover Houston's militiamen, killing more than 1,000 people on the spot, and even Sam Houston himself was injured.
When the news reached Washington, public opinion was in an uproar! They all agreed that Japan had seriously violated the sovereignty of the United States of America and demanded that the U.S. government declare war on Japan immediately.
President Jackson was a war president who opened up nearly one million square kilometers of territory for the United States (counting Texas). He also had a very bad temper. He was the only president in American history who personally skinned a human being! Washington just issued an order to massacre the Indians and skinned them himself, which he probably had never done before. But this great president has peeled it off with his own hands, which shows how ferocious he is! If he hadn't been so cruel, he wouldn't have dared to rectify the Second Bank of the United States like that... Compared with him, the president who wanted to make America great again was simply too weak.
But on the issue of declaring war on Japan, President Jackson suppressed his anger and held back. Because in his view, the Texas City incident showed that it was a conflict between American immigrant groups and Japanese immigrant groups in Texas. But in fact it was a conflict between the United States and the Mexican Empire. The Mexican Empire attempted to deprive the United States of its natural right to expand freely on the American continent and introduced a heavily armed Japanese immigrant group.
So the culprit in this matter is Mexico!
If the United States vents its anger on Japan and conflicts with distant Japan, wouldn't it fulfill the wishes of the Mexican Emperor Agustín?
Besides, the American immigrants in Texas are not equal to the U.S. government, and the Japanese immigrants in Texas are not equal to the Japanese government... It seems overbearing for the immigrants from both sides to declare war when there is a conflict over territory in a third country. Not even the British Empire is like this, right? In fact, immigrants from Ireland often fought with immigrants from England on the streets of New York! People are killed every now and then, but doesn't the British government just turn a blind eye?
Moreover, the declaration of war could not be declared by President Jackson in just one sentence. It had to be approved by the U.S. Congress. Congress could not have agreed to the president's declaration of war on Japan because of conflicts between American and Japanese immigrants on Mexican soil.
Therefore, President Jackson just sent a fleet envoy to Texas City and asked the Japanese immigrant group to evacuate within a time limit, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
Unexpectedly, Japan not only refused to evacuate Texas, but also sent more troops to Texas. This was too much!
Thinking of this, President Andrew Jackson asked again: "Did the British Ambassador say how many people the Japanese sent over?"
"I didn't say anything," Yin Dun shook his head, "I just said that more than 20 warships, troop transports, and transport ships were dispatched..."
"What?" President Andrew Jackson became angry again, "They also sent warships? This is an invasion of the United States and an act of war against the United States!"
The Japanese went too far this time. They actually sent warships, and there were 20 of them per group... This nature is completely different from sending ten or twenty thousand armed immigrants.
So Andrew Jackson immediately picked up the receiver of the Huaxing telephone on his desk and hung up the phone to US Secretary of State Martin Van Buren.
This Martin Van Buren was the "conciliator" in the cabinet. During this period, he helped Jackson reconcile with some ministers who were opposed to the Yintons, and thus won Jackson's trust.
As Secretary of State, he certainly knew about Japan's dispatch of a fleet to transport troops to America earlier than Yin Dun. Before Jackson's call, he had just contacted Ming Dynasty Ambassador Guo Zhiqian.
"Mr. President, this is indeed the case... But according to Ambassador Guo of Ming Dynasty, it is not a naval fleet sent by Japan. Japan does not have a navy now. It is the navy of the Texas Japanese Self-Defense Force, called Dezhou The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force doesn’t have any powerful ships, just 2 frigates, 12 destroyers, and 5 transport ships.”
"That won't work!" Andrew Jackson shouted, "Martin, prepare an ultimatum for me!"
"Ultimatum? To whom?" asked the Secretary of State on the other side of the line.
"Of course it's an ultimatum to Japan!" Andrew Jackson said.
"President," the U.S. Secretary of State reminded, "we have no diplomatic relations with Japan...I am afraid this ultimatum cannot be delivered."
Japan's diplomacy has always been to save money when it can, but because the United States is a traitorous son of Great Britain, it also built its country by subjugating the subordinates and subjugating the superiors. This is extremely treasonous! Therefore, Japan has neglected Japan-US diplomacy.
The President of the United States finally remembered that the United States and Japan seemed to have no diplomatic relations.
"Then how do we conduct diplomatic business with Japan?" President Jackson asked again.
"In the past, it was done through us and the Japanese embassy in the UK, but now it is done through the embassy in Ming Dynasty."
President Jackson said: "Then prepare an ultimatum...and call the Ming Dynasty Ambassador Guo Zhiqian to the White House!"
"Yes, President."
...
"What? An ultimatum? Mr. President, Mr. Secretary of State, what do you mean? Do you want to submit an ultimatum to tomorrow's DPRK?"
In the Oval Office of the White House, Guo Zhiqian, the Ming Dynasty Ambassador to Washington, who had just arrived, started shouting as soon as he entered. Although this is a bit inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette, Guo Zhiqian is the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty... The Ming Dynasty is an exception!
Although Andrew Jackson had a bad temper and was also a racist, he strongly agreed with the "Yellow Peril Theory". But he also knew that the Ming Dynasty was really a Yellow Peril, and it was also very big! In the past two years when Adams Jr. was president, Ming Dynasty also sold four "anti-American packages" to Mexico and Gran Colombia, which almost changed the ranking of naval forces on the American continent... Fortunately, America's "British Even if "Dad" took action, he helped the United States build a powerful "United States" class battleship.
Otherwise, the first navy in the Americas would have become Mexico!
But this incident also made the American authorities feel the power of the "Yellow Peril"... Although American politicians in this era are all white supremacists, and their eyes are filled with hatred when they look at Ming Dynasty, but Ming Dynasty is the real It's a huge yellow disaster. If you can, don't mess with it. Otherwise, you'll get beaten up by someone else!
"Mr. Ambassador," U.S. Secretary of State Martin Van Buren had no choice but to smile and explain in broken Chinese, "We in the United States have no intention of becoming an enemy of Ming Dynasty. We just want Ming Dynasty to transfer our ultimatum to Japan!"
"Japan?" Guo Zhiqian found it difficult to listen to Van Burunda's words, so he simply started speaking English, "Why? Why did they offend you?"
"They violated U.S. interests in Texas!" Andrew Jackson said.
"What interests do you have in Texas? Isn't Texas part of the Mexican Empire?"
"We have a group of immigrants there!" Andrew Jackson said. "The Japanese group of Texas immigrants not only attacked the American group of immigrants, killing more than 1,000 people, but Japan also sent a fleet to escort more armed personnel to the Americas... ....This is a serious violation of the interests of the United States! It is also a serious violation of every American. America is the America of Americans! If Japan does not immediately evacuate their residents in Texas and let the sailors sail to the Americas If the fleet immediately turns around and returns, and promises not to invade the Americas again, then the United States will retain the power to take all measures!"
