Those who agreed with Zhuge were the officers of the Dezhou Luzi led by Xixiang Longsheng. Now most of the senior officers of Dezhou Haizi have gone out with the army, but the senior officers of Dezhou Luzi are still there. In addition, in order to strengthen the strength of the Texas Army, Ming Dynasty also transferred an Echigo division from Japan, which had also followed Emperor Agustin and Zhuge Weidao to Texas.
So now, there are a lot of Japanese Japs who like to pretend to be loyal gathered in the Imperial Palace of Dezhou. In this timeline, the Japanese new policy is not Westernization but Mingwu. Of course, the Japanese at a higher level can speak fluent Chinese.
In his early years, Agustín I was a senior military officer of New Spain. He received a professional education and learned some Chinese at the military academy in Mexico City (the Ming Dynasty has always been the imaginary enemy of New Spain), so he could understand the words of the Japanese around him.
After understanding this, he was naturally ashamed. Even Indians and black people knew that they were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he, a Spanish nobleman and general, did something to split the motherland. He was really ashamed of Jesus (he swore in front of the icon of Jesus) Those who are loyal to Spain) may even go to hell!
Just when he was feeling ashamed, Zhuge Weidao beside him suddenly took out a document and handed it to Emperor Agustin, "Your Majesty, please take a look at this."
"This is" the Mexican emperor took the document and looked at it. He found that it was a declaration written in Chinese and Spanish. He read in a low voice: "The Declaration of the Emancipation of the Black Slaves and Indians. Our Mexican Empire and Freedom Floridians hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men, blacks and Indians alike, are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "
After reading this, the Mexican Emperor raised his head and looked at Zhuge Weidao in surprise: "Commander Zhuge, what are you doing?"
You can't blame him for being surprised, but the things mentioned in this declaration are too high-end. That's what people like Protestants and Puritans who can define human beings say. The white-skinned New Catholics in South America simply don't dare to say that - they are under the control of the Roman Church, and they dare not describe the Indians who converted to God as non-human beings. The Universal Catholic Church will not agree.
Zhuge Weidao smiled: "Of course we want to conquer the United States! Otherwise, why would we bother so much? Your Majesty, the United States has 20 million white people, the most vast plains suitable for farming in the world, and extremely rich coal and iron resources. Rich, and as the majority of the ethnic group, the white people who believe in Protestantism are evil and ruthless. Their hearts are much darker than those of you who believe in Catholicism!"
The Mexican Emperor nodded and said to himself: "We are just too kind, and we did not basically exterminate the Indians."
When Zhuge Weidao saw the Mexican emperor nodding, he continued: "Your Majesty, if there is any weakness in the United States, it is that there are still one million Indians that have not been wiped out, and there are still three to four million like us. Black slaves who were out of place in the era, and the current United States is not a truly unified republic, but a confederacy that may fall apart.
So when it comes to inciting American Indians and black people, we must not be soft-hearted! If we can incite the Seminoles in Florida, it is possible that the swamps and forests of Florida will become the burial place of countless American soldiers, and the long Florida War will be the beginning of the disintegration of the United States! "
Hearing what Zhuge Weidao said, Mexican Emperor Agustín I already had some idea in his mind - this matter could not be Zhuge Weidao's impromptu idea, it must be a long-term conspiracy!
Thinking of this, Agustin I tentatively asked: "Commander Zhuge, how can a small Florida shake the unity of the United States of America?"
"Your Majesty the Emperor," Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "The United States of America is not yet a unified country, but a confederation composed of a large number of states similar to states! And whether states can withdraw from the United States, in the United States There is no provision in the Constitution. I believe that those who founded the United States of America did not want to create a country that would soon fall apart, but they were subject to the will of the states and did not dare to raise this issue. And the United States, like the United Kingdom, has a judicial and constitutional issues follow the tradition of case law, that is, decisions can be made on the basis of precedent.
In other words, once a state successfully secedes from the United States and is recognized by the United States. That means other states in the United States also have the power to withdraw!
In addition, the black slave issue and the Indian issue have always been major domestic disputes in the United States. If Florida's withdrawal is triggered by the black slave and Indian issues, then other states will definitely blame each other on these two issues, which is likely to trigger a new division! "
Agustin guessed right, splitting the United States has always been the goal pursued by the Zhuge family!
Because the Zhuge family has always regarded the United States as the biggest potential threat to the Ming Dynasty, they must find ways to destroy it before she fully rises. The disintegration of the United States is of course Ming's primary goal in this world war.
Zhuge Weidao, the admiral of the Pacific Fleet, is of course responsible for the mission of disintegrating the United States.
Agustín frowned and asked: "Commander Zhuge, what should we do to separate Florida from the United States of America?"
Zhuge Weidao said: "The first step is, of course, to build a Free Florida Army in central Florida that includes whites, blacks, and Indians. The leader of this Free Florida Army should preferably be a white man. This Pastor Fidel Guevara may be You can take on such a big responsibility!
Secondly, it is to declare the "Emancipation Proclamation of Black Slaves and Indians" to the whole world, linking the issue of Florida's separation from the United States of America with the abolition of slavery and opposition to the extermination of Indians, so that the cause of Florida's independence can occupy the moral high ground. In this way, the Florida Freedom Army can easily attract the frustrated revolutionaries of the Old World, and the United States will become an evil country in the eyes of the people of the Old World.
And the third thing is of course military victory! We must win victory over the United States of America on land and sea, because the winner's truth is the most convincing! "
As soon as Zhuge Weidao said this, he saw Guo Xiaobao, the chief staff officer of the Pacific Fleet, walking in hurriedly and handed Zhuge Weidao a copy of the telegram. Zhuge Weidao took it over and looked at it, and immediately laughed, "U.S. Navy Atlantic The main force of the fleet is preparing to go northward through the windward strait, and it seems that it is preparing to catch up with our combined fleet!"
The Mexican emperor was stunned, looked at Zhuge Weidao and asked: "Commander Zhuge, how did you find out that the main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet was heading north? Did you get the information from the Governor of Cuba?"
"No," Zhuge Weidao shook his head, "We are not that close to the Governor of Cuba. We have our own source of intelligence. And this intelligence source is very accurate and absolutely unmistakable! Your Majesty, let's give an order to the joint admiral of the combined fleet. Let’s annihilate the main force of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet first, and then go north to the Delmarva Peninsula!”
