"What? What? Choose me to be the Commander-in-Chief of the United States? What does the Commander-in-Chief of the United States do? Why choose me?"
Of course, there was an interpreter at the summons, so Zhu Celing soon learned the shocking news - he was still a young boy, just playing in Elizabeth City, how could he suddenly become the commander-in-chief of the United States? Could it be the arrangement of the emperor?
After asking a series of questions, Zhu Celing turned around and looked at his third brother, "Third brother, was this commander arranged by my father? If it was arranged by my father, you must know it, right?"
Zhu Yimei is also thinking about this!
This matter indeed looks like the handiwork of Zhu Heji - for some unknown reason, this emperor of the Chinese dynasty is very afraid of the British North American colonies, but he is unwilling to eradicate them. Three or four countries were created one by one to the west of the Barachian Mountains, completely blocking the westward march of the British North American colonies... Arranging this silly boy Celing to be the commander-in-chief of the United States is indeed a deterrent. The best means of dominion in the twelve states of North America. With such a silly boy who knows how to play as the leader, the United States is expanding like hell!
But...how come I don't know about this?
According to Zhu Heji's arrangement, the Yin Family Khanate will eventually become the Yin Family Khanate. But that will have to wait for a few more years. First, we have to wait for Zhu Celing, a silly boy, to fully grow up. Second, we have to let the Yin family's Khan tribe grow even more... There must be 50,000 to 60,000 households to be able to maintain such a stronghold. Big site.
According to the agreement reached between the Ming Dynasty and the Franks, the rough dividing line between the Yin family and New France is the Mississippi River - the Ming side is called the Yin Shang River, Jiangxi belongs to the Yin family, and the east of the Yangtze belongs to France.
This is a long border line of tens of thousands of miles! Although there is a boundary river that can divide it, the Yinshang River is not a natural hazard. It is not easy to rely on five to sixty thousand households to guard such a long border!
The current Yin Family only has 30,000 households, and its territory has just expanded from Texas to Jiangxi Prefecture (the downstream area west of the Yin Shang River). It is still far from the small goal of completely controlling the west bank of the Yin Shang River!
In addition, the industrial structure of the Yin Shang Khan tribe was very simple, with only animal husbandry and agriculture, and its output was extremely limited. It was impossible to maintain a cavalry regiment powerful enough to traverse the North American Great Plains.
Therefore, at present, the Yin Jiahan tribe can only hang under the flag of Shang and rely on the gold mines of Shang to develop and grow. Zhu Yimei is naturally the general agent of Ming Dynasty in North America, but this Zhu Da agent has no idea that Zhu Celing has been arranged to become the commander-in-chief of the United States!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yimei did not answer his brother's words, but asked Roosevelt two questions in succession: "Mr. Luo, why does your American Dominion want to break away from British rule? Also, who is the suzerain of this American Dominion? It's my father. Emperor?"
"Your Majesty," Nicholas Roosevelt replied solemnly, "the reason why we, the people of the Dominion of America, want to secede from British control is because most of us oppose British tyranny in the North American colonial lands!"
"Tyranny?" Zhu Yimei asked, "What did the British do in the North American colonies?"
He has been in America for more than three years, and he has not heard of any tyranny by the British in the North American colonies... Even if there is, it is tyranny against the native Indians, not the tyranny of the white masters in the colonies. On the contrary, the "exiles" in the North American colonies were all very "violent", and they were the ones who did the extermination of the Indians in the twelve states!
Nicholas Roosevelt replied righteously: "The most important atrocity committed by the British in North America was the massacre of most of the Indians in the Twelve-State Colonies..." As he spoke, his big sunken eyes Crystal tears began to flash in his eyes, "Among those Indians who died tragically, there were our ancestors!"
"Ah?" Zhu Yimei was greatly surprised and asked directly in Latin, "Are you, your ancestors are Indians?"
Nicholas Roosevelt nodded seriously, "Yes, the blood of the native Indians flows in the veins of the people of the Dominion of America, so we can never forgive the atrocities of the British!"
"Mr. Luo, you don't look like an Indian!" Zhu Yimei was questioning Nicholas Roosevelt's ancestry.
To be honest, this old white man with a wig doesn't look Indian at all. How could he have Indian blood?
Nicholas Roosevelt said plausibly: "Yes, the Indian blood in me is indeed very thin...as thin as Princess Jennifer!"
He specifically mentioned Jennifer Montezuma - this is a fair-skinned and beautiful little black-haired "Orchid", who is even fairer than most Spaniards, and certainly doesn't look Indian enough. But she does have Indian blood! She is a direct descendant of the Aztec royal family, and is currently the second-in-line heir to the Aztec kingdom. Who can say he is not Indian?
In addition, King Montezuma also looks like an old white man...maybe not as white as Roosevelt, but he doesn't look like an Indian! But they are genuine Indians!
So, if Princess Jennifer and King Montezuma are both Indians, then who can say that Nicholas Roosevelt is not an Indian based on his appearance?
When Zhu Yimei was wondering whether to admit that Nicholas Roosevelt was an Indian, his sister-in-law Jennifer had already asked in Latin: "Mr. Roosevelt, do you people in the Dominion of the United States really think that you are descendants of Indians?"
When Nicholas Roosevelt heard this, he knew there was something going on - this little beauty had a sense of identity with an old white male Indian like him! Because she’s a little white girl too…and everyone is a white Indian!
"Your Royal Highness," Nicholas Roosevelt said, "We are all mixed race like you, with Indian blood! Maybe our paternal ancestors participated in the massacre of Indians driven by the British, but they were also related to the Indians. Females unite and give birth to mixed-race offspring!”
The situation he mentioned must exist... After having done the genocide, is there still a need for someone to forcibly hold hands? Headbands were very rare in those days. They were only owned by European aristocrats who engaged in bed politics. How could they be found among North American exiles?
Therefore, there are also Indo-European mixed blood in the twelve colonies of North America, but the number is not large. Because many North American exiles were Protestants and Puritans who escaped religious persecution in Britain and Europe. They usually came with a large family, and the men all had legal partners to hold hands with. Moreover, the Puritans and Protestants at that time were relatively conservative and did not leave a way for Indian women to survive. Only men who were exiled to the New World for committing crimes in England would do something so disgraceful.
But no one can deny that the "exiles" in the twelve states have some Indian ancestry...even if it's one in a million, it's still there!
Jennifer turned her head and said to Zhu Yimei with a smile in fluent "Business Language": "Your Majesty, if people in the Dominion of the United States consider themselves Indians... then this Dominion will become a country similar to Aztec. Countries that are friendly to Croatia will also not pose any threat to the Yin family. Because identity is political stance!"
Montezuma's daughter is three years older than Zhu Celing, and is already eighteen or nineteen years old this year. And she also received a good education, and was later raised as the second heir of the Aztecs. Of course she knew how identity was formed and how it became an important item in political struggle - through the education she received , she knew how the Spanish Catholics were baptized into faithful Catholics. And what she witnessed with King Montezuma during the Aztec Revolution also let her know how a group of people with no Aztec blood turned themselves into Aztecs.
In addition, she also knows that identity is also an important item in international political struggles - religious belief is an identity! National identity is also an important identity.
If the people of the American Dominion identify themselves as "white Indians," then this Dominion will become an alternative to Western Christian civilization...and its self-identity will allow it to maintain friendly relations with the Aztecs .
For the Aztec State, which was blocked by the North Atlantic Alliance, the emergence of an American Dominion that was friendly to it would undoubtedly open a big hole in the North Atlantic Alliance's blockade.
Through this hole, the Aztecs can better play their role as a trade bridge between the East and the West. Moreover, Montezuma's Holy Missionaries could also enter the Appalachian Mountains through the territory of the Dominion of America... This was of great benefit to the expansion of Aztec influence!
Zhu Yimei also figured it out at this time!
A "white Indian" America is far more beneficial to Shang and the Yin family than a white America!
Because this means that the Shang Fang and the Yin family can have a wider buffer zone, and it also helps the Aztecs use the Holy Religion to assimilate the "Jiangdong Indians"... If east of the Yin Shang River, Appalachia If a new Indian country that believed in the Holy Spirit emerged west of the mountains, the white European colonies in North America would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yimei asked again: "Then...will the Frank Empire and Britain accept a white Indian Dominion of America?"
"Of course!" Nicholas Roosevelt said with certainty, "because the Frank Emperor will become the lord of the Dominion of America...and the British privileges in the Dominion of America will also be retained."
His words were translated into "business language", which immediately aroused Zhu Celing's dissatisfaction: "In that case, wouldn't the Dominion of the United States have to have three boats? I am not worthy of being the commander-in-chief!"
"You should do it right!" Zhu Yimei immediately said to his brother, "Being on three boats also means that Ming, Frank, and Britain can all benefit from the Dominion of America... If you do it wrong, Ming's interests will not be guaranteed. !”
"I, I..." Zhu Celing was still reluctant, but his "good sister" Jennifer spoke with a smile, "Celing, you'd better do it... just use your name and get it for free. What’s wrong with a salary?”
She turned back to Roosevelt and said: "Mr. Roosevelt, I don't think you want King Khan to go to the Dominion of America to take office, right?"
"Of course," Nicholas Roosevelt smiled, "our Dominion is autonomous...the Congress and the Dominion Executive Government will be responsible for the specific affairs in the Territory. The Dominion Grand Commander is only a nominal leader, and at most he needs to sign Some laws and personnel appointments passed by the parliament can be obtained remotely, and the parliament and the executive government will provide a generous salary."
This is really the best job in the world - you don't have to work, the salary is good, and you are the first commander-in-chief of the United States! I don’t know if the avatar will be decorated in the future?
"Then what is the term of office of this great commander? Can it be hereditary?" Jennifer asked again.
"Of course, the commander-in-chief serves for life," Nicholas Roosevelt said. "As for the hereditary issue... we certainly hope that it can be hereditary, but considering the attitude of Louis the Great, we cannot announce it yet."
This commander-in-chief is not a commander-in-chief with real power, but a constitutional monarch... In fact, he is paying protection fees to the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty does not weaken and the United States does not counterattack, this position can only be inherited by Zhu Celing's descendants.
And it is not easy for the United States to counterattack...!
Because now the United States has three bosses at once, one from the Ming Dynasty, one from the Franks, and one from the United Kingdom... Each boss wants a privilege, invades the sovereignty of the United States, and occupies a part of the land of the United States. Benefit.
This kind of America is completely different from the free America that was poured out with blood in history. This is an America without sovereignty and is fundamentally inferior to the Aztecs!
If it wants to counterattack, it must have another independent revolution! But there are three bosses suppressing it, and there is an Aztec who is watching eagerly beside it. How can it counterattack?
Jennifer was satisfied with Nicholas Roosevelt's proposal and immediately said to her young husband: "Celing, I think it's good, you can be their commander-in-chief!"
The eldest sister had already spoken. Of course Zhu Celing had no objection, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay! I will be the commander-in-chief of the United States!" He said to Nicholas Roosevelt, "But although I will not go to the United States to take office in person, I will It is still necessary to have a castle located in the United States as the headquarters of the general... This castle should be close to the Appalachian Mountains and control a mountain pass!
And I will station troops there... The cost of garrisoning troops and building castles must also be borne by the Dominion of America! "
His words were translated into Latin, and Nicholas Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it - the Dominion of the United States has been stabilized! With the Yin family garrison, the British garrison, and perhaps the Frank garrison, who would dare to touch the American Dominion in the future?
