"Mr. President, Mexico..."
Isaac Roosevelt, the newly appointed chief private secretary to the president, opened the door and stopped talking as soon as he started to speak, because he saw President Jackson sitting behind the desk, holding a red telephone receiver in his hand and talking on the phone. Telephone. Isaac knew that the red phone was called the "hotline", through which the President of the United States could contact the Duke of Wellington, the Prime Minister of the British Empire, the Marquis Amherst, the Prime Minister of the Indian Empire, or Chief Met of the Austrian Empire as quickly as possible. Prince Nirvana.
However, Isaac Roosevelt did not leave the Oval Office. Instead, he walked quickly to the president, placed the documents in his hand on the desk in front of the president, and very thoughtfully took them out of a drawer on the president's desk. The reading glasses were handed to Jackson.
President Jackson immediately took the glasses and put them on. Then, while answering Duke Wellington on the other end of the phone, he picked up the document and read it. The reason why he attaches so much importance to this document is because he just heard Exar Roosevelt mention "Mexico"!
For President Jackson, who once despised the Mexican Empire, Mexico is now more important than "British Father"!
The information in the document is indeed very important, it is about the movements of the Mexico-Texas joint fleet. So President Jackson stopped saying "Uh-huh" and reported to "Dad Ying" quickly.
"Duke, according to what we discovered by the airships and camouflaged reconnaissance ships deployed in Florida, a large fleet consisting of 50-70 ships of various types has passed through the Strait of Florida and is currently heading north along the coast of the United States. .Among them are at least 10 battleships or large aircraft-carrying battleships, 10 first- or second-class protected cruisers, 20-30 third-class cruisers, and a dozen auxiliary ships... Obviously, the Mexicans The navy is more powerful than we thought! The United States may not be able to defeat Mexico, we need the help of the British Empire!"
When the President of the United States said this, his face turned red with shame.
He is actually saying that the United States is unable to defeat Mexico and needs British help... He is a heroic president who participated in the anti-British War of Independence at the age of 13 and made contributions in the Second War of Independence. He is also a recognized anti-British faction. Now They actually asked Britain for help because they couldn't defeat Mexico.
"I will immediately give an order to the First Sea Lord to mobilize our American Squadron to leave the Caribbean and head north for reinforcements!" The Duke of Wellington's unusually firm voice came from the other end of the phone. "President, our two countries have a common ground. history and tradition, speak the same language, belong to the same nation, we are connected by blood...so the British Empire will never abandon the United States. If necessary, Britain will openly stand with the United States and we will fight together !」
President Jackson was so moved by Duke Wellington's words that he almost burst into tears!
But he still wanted to confirm again.
"Duke, if I told you that the real enemy the United States faces this time is not Mexico, or even Japan, but the Ming Dynasty... Will Britain still openly stand with the United States and fight with the United States? "
"Of course!" Duke Wellington gave an affirmative answer without hesitation. "This world war was originally a war between us Anglo-Saxons and East Asian races! And there are only two real people in the world. Among the great Anglo-Saxon countries, one is us, the United Kingdom, and the other is the United States!
So we must and can only fight together... Just as East Asian countries such as Japan, North Korea, and Annan all firmly support the Ming Dynasty, even Dajin, the feud of the Ming Dynasty, has now adopted a neutral and pro-Ming policy. .
Because those Tatars who like to shave half their heads and wear a whip know very well that this world is divided into classes! The level is determined by factors such as blood, language, culture, and history. If the Ming Dynasty wins, then as a secondary civilization of the Chinese civilization, the Jin people can at least become second-class people in this world... And we Anglo-Saxons are also bound together, we cannot lose! If you lose, you won’t be considered a first-class person in the world! "
President Jackson and most Americans understand what Duke Wellington said...although they may not say it with their mouths, but in their hearts
I understand.
Here in the United States, aren’t there only the Anglican Protestants (Puritans) who are the first class, Germans, Frenchmen, and Dutch people who are the second class, other white people who are the third class, black people who are the fourth class, and don’t Indians count as human beings?
"Duke," the President of the United States said in a grateful tone, "I cannot thank you and Britain enough... It now appears that many of my past views were wrong, and that I and others had misunderstood the British Empire. "
The Duke of Wellington sighed and said: "This is not your fault...but because we Europeans have been divided for a long time and have not truly faced a unified super world empire for many centuries. threats, so we have almost forgotten the importance of unity.”
"Yes! We should unite!" The President of the United States thought for a moment and then asked, "Then how should our troops jointly fight? How to identify ourselves and the enemy? How to conduct unified command?"
"Mr. President," said the Duke of Wellington on the other end of the phone, "let's wait until the Second Battle of the Atlantic is over before we can discuss the issue... Now we just have to fight on our own. Fortunately, both of us can use The warships of the Ming Dynasty are very different in appearance from the warships of the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese warships are relatively simple and beautiful. Navy personnel can recognize them at a glance and they will not be mistaken. So you hold on first, I will let you Vice Admiral Baga will lead the Caribbean Fleet northward immediately!"
"Okay, thank you very much!" After thanking the "British father"'s chief minister again, the President of the United States hung up the phone, and then said to his chief private secretary, "Isaac, go get the Secretary of the Navy and the Navy Call the chief of operations, I have good news to tell them."
"Yes, Mr. President."
...
The Duke of Wellington is right. The Ming Dynasty's warships are indeed more beautiful, with smooth hulls and simpler superstructures. There are no extra masts. Even the latest warships using oil-fired boilers and steam turbines have fewer chimneys. .
Therefore, a hybrid armed merchant ship with three masts, hung with various ropes, furled sails, and three large smokestacks must not have been produced by Daming, nor can it belong to the Mexico-Texas Joint Fleet... .On the night that President Jackson and the Duke of Wellington called to confirm the principles of joint fighting, such a large hybrid armed merchant ship was quietly anchored in the sea east of the Florida Peninsula. Because the beaches in this area are close to the Seminole The reserve area has not yet been developed. Therefore, there was no dock suitable for docking. The soldiers from Mexico had no choice but to put down the small boats and set foot on this unfamiliar but familiar land like ants moving ship after ship.
When this land was taken away by the Americans, Mexico was still part of the Spanish Empire, and the soldiers of the Mexican Royal Guards who secretly landed in Florida today were still subjects of the Spanish King... Some of them even Cry that Spain lost Florida.
But then, they themselves were no longer Spanish...according to their emperor Agustín I, they had escaped colonial rule. Of course, these native white Mexicans could not understand what the emperor meant.
Because aren’t they themselves colonists? They are not Indians. What kind of colonial rule did they get rid of? It is they who rule others!
Of course, it is normal not to understand the emperor's thoughts. Otherwise, how could someone become the emperor?
And tonight, according to the emperor's order, they will quietly set foot on the land of Florida that once belonged to Spain and was later taken away by the United States... in order to help the Indians in Florida get rid of the colonial rule of the United States.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's words, they will fight for a free, equal, and happy Florida!
In this country of Florida, no matter what color you are, no matter what language you speak, no matter what god you believe in, we are all one family... It sounds really scary!
