The sun once again penetrated the heavy fog that shrouded England, and penetrated through the glass window into the gloomy Prime Minister's Conference Room.
The owner of No. 10 Downing Street, the Duke of Wellington, the chief minister of the Empire and the chief scapegoat jointly elected by the Tory and Whig parties, listened to the US Secretary of State's detailed account of the Manhattan bombing incident, the Battle of the North Atlantic (later, After recent major events in the New World, such as the First Battle of the North Atlantic) and the United States' declaration of war on Mexico, the gentlemanly smile on his lips has disappeared without a trace.
"You lost the battle in the North Atlantic!"
The British Lord of the Admiralty, Viscount Palmerston, who accompanied the Duke of Wellington to receive the US Secretary of State, couldn't help but interject, with a hint of blame in his tone. He did not blame the Americans for losing the war, but he blamed the Americans for exaggerating a tragic defeat into a victory, which caused the Admiralty to come under pressure from Congress - why could the U.S. Navy win, but your British Royal Navy The Navy always loses battles? Is it because the Lord Admiralty lacks leadership skills?
"No," George Van Buren said plausibly, "This is not the failure of our United States, but the failure of the entire Western world... Including the United Kingdom, France, Prussia, Austria and other Western countries, all are Northern Losers of the Battle of the Atlantic!”
"But we are not involved in the war at all!" British Foreign Secretary Robert Peel pointed out.
"You are not a loser if you don't participate in the war?" George Van Buren said, "Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, think about it, where is New York? Where is the North Atlantic? The Yellow Peril has penetrated deep into the North Atlantic and defeated the brave United States. The Navy of the United States...and the Navy of the United States is the only navy in the entire West that dares to stand up and fight against the Yellow Peril. This in itself means the failure of the entire Western civilization!"
It has to be said that the ability of American politicians to talk nonsense is definitely better than that of the United States. This can be seen by looking at the great, honorable and righteous words in the Declaration of Independence and the Mayflower Compact. It is really hard to imagine that these documents were produced by a group of slave owners who killed North American Indians to almost extinction and used African slaves to develop their plantation industry. Compared with them, the various remarks left to future generations by British politicians like Viscount Palmerston look more like a great American man who was good at skinning Indians and enslaving black people.
George Van Buren continued: "Dear Mr. Prime Minister, Dear Foreign Secretary, can you tell me that when the American freedom fighters fought against the powerful Yellow Peril Fleet in the cold North Atlantic for the collective benefit of Western civilization, the great and powerful What are the politicians of the glorious United Kingdom doing?”
When these words were asked, the faces of Duke Wellington and Robert Peel became a little hot. Because during this period, in addition to continuing to promote the construction of naval armaments, they were busy with all kinds of shady secret room diplomacy... including marrying Victoria, the future Queen of England and the current Regent Princess of the United Kingdom, to the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhuxi’s matter!
Of course, the effort to resolve the conflict through a political marriage is just one of the many options for the British Empire... Uniting the West to defeat the Yellow Peril of the Ming Dynasty and pushing the British Empire to the position of truly leading the world is still The supreme aim of all members of the British Cabinet, including the Duke of Wellington.
It's just that Britain, which has experienced too many storms and vicissitudes, was conquered by the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans, and was threatened by the empire of Charles V, Louis XIV, and Napoleon. Compared with his self-reliance, Britain The "American filial son" who has had smooth sailing since the United States is still much more diplomatic and will consider more about how to preserve his strength when the situation is not favorable to him.
And this kind of smoothness also made the British Empire more willing to seek compromise when facing the distant and powerful enemy Ming... After all, the Ming Dynasty was not a European country, and there was no way they could pose a threat to Britain's survival. . What Ming and Great Britain competed for was nothing more than overseas colonies, and there was room for compromise on this matter.
George Van Buren, who understood the thoughts of the British Empire, saw that the Duke of Wellington did not say a word, and knew that the British boss must still be discussing compromise with the Ming Dynasty in private - this is the virtue of these old imperialists, except not allowing the European continent There is a trend of unification in the world, and everything else can be compromised.
Otherwise, the United States would not even exist - if the British took the initiative to form an anti-French alliance to oppose the United States, the United States would definitely not be able to withstand it.
However, the United States cannot allow her "father Ying" to compromise with the Ming Dynasty... The United States must fight to the end for the United States!
Thinking of this, George Van Buren said to the Duke of Wellington: "We in the United States have never been afraid of power. Since the founding of our country, we have gone to war with the British Empire, the French Republic, and the Spanish Empire. We even He also fought against the Barbary pirates in North Africa!
Facing these former enemies, we in the United States have never felt fear!
This time, we will not be afraid either. We firmly believe that God will stand with the brave American people, and the final victory will belong to the United States and her people!
So we will never accept the humiliating peace imposed by the Ming Dynasty, even if New York turns into a sea of fire, even if the trade on the Atlantic is completely blocked by the Ming Dynasty's navy, even if... tens of millions of Americans are on the land of Texas Heroic sacrifice, we all have to fight to the end! "
Now the British have big heads.
Daying’s two sons don’t make people worry! The knees of the British filial son India are too soft, anyone can kneel down, filial piety is filial piety, but if you expect them to go to the battlefield, you must be prepared for them to collapse at the first touch.
And the United States, a rebellious child, has really strong bones - not many years after the founding of the country, the world's world empires were all provoked. After fighting Britain and France, they fought against Britain a few years after fighting France. The British went to seize Spanish Florida again, and even took time out of their busy schedule to go to the Mediterranean to fight against the Barbary Pirate Kingdom! Now they are fighting with Mexico and Japan, which were supported by the Ming Empire.
And apart from Ming Dynasty, Mexico, and Japan, which they just faced off with, the United States has not suffered any losses yet!
There is really nothing to say about this American martial ethics.
But the current war between the United States and Ming Dynasty, Mexico, and Japan is very likely to cause Britain to suffer greatly!
Because once the United States chooses to fight to the end, the North Atlantic will become a battlefield. Ming Dynasty (Mexico, Japan) and the United States will attack each other's sea lines of communication, which means that trans-Atlantic trade will have problems. Britain's routes for exporting goods to the United States and importing cotton may be cut off.
Another thing that the British cannot bear is that the United States' intransigence will inevitably cause Mexico to be firmly tied to the Ming Dynasty's chariot - if the war lasts for several years, the Nicaragua Canal will be opened, and then the Ming Dynasty's navy will be able to easily through canals into the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean...
George Van Buren added: "Duke, I think you should have recognized the reality now - there is a war for world dominance between us Western white people and the Eastern yellow people led by Ming Dynasty. If we If this side loses the war, then in the next few hundred years, the world will be ruled by the yellow race... And if the yellow race wants to rule the world, they must also control the world's main oceans!
The ocean...is something we can lose? Is this something the UK can lose? If not... Then, Your Excellency, where do you think we should invest heavy troops? Is it in India and Australia, which are very close to East Asia, or in North America and the Caribbean, across the sea from Europe? If Britain still wants to win, then don't hesitate anymore and join the war immediately! Only by going all out can we win!
Otherwise, once the United States is defeated, the Ming Empire will become a North Atlantic country! "
