"Are you able to solve domestic problems on your own?"
British Prime Minister William Pitt read this sentence in Chinese, looked up at his cabinet companions, and said with a strange and tangled expression:
"Does the Ming Dynasty... express its recognition of us? Does it think that we are a powerful country in the western continent?"
Foreign Secretary Grenville said with a melancholy expression:
"It does seem to mean this directly, but this sentence obviously needs to be considered in reverse.
"If we don't have the ability to solve America's problems on our own, we have no right to be considered a strong major power.
"As a result, we are no longer qualified to have America's overseas colonies..."
Peter also fully reacted:
"This is the attitude that Ming Dynasty mentioned in the rules for the development of Mozhou.
"You must be able to maintain your rule in the colony. If you cannot maintain it, you will transfer it to others...
"Da Ming is not prepared to take the initiative to help us solve any problems.
"That's right, although Ming is the leader of the League of Nations, we do not regard Ming as our suzerain country.
"Compared to the Ming Dynasty, we do not have any obligation to obey or cooperate.
"So Ming Dynasty has no obligation to help us solve domestic problems."
Grenville nodded and said:
"Yes, this is Daming's attitude. If you must ask Daming for help, you have to pay the price.
"But Ming promised not to support the rebels, which should be credible.
"It is not in the interests of Ming Dynasty to allow the United States and Canada to become independent easily.
"If we behave too badly, if we directly allow America to become independent, Ming Dynasty may take the initiative to intervene."
Peter subconsciously waved his hand and said:
"But in that case, the United States that is conquered again will belong to Ming Dynasty, and we can't do that.
"It's better to contact the French. The United Kingdom is going to cooperate with the French again.
"Form a combined fleet and a combined army, and let Lord Nelson and Bonaparte part ways..."
Peter subconsciously asked Napoleon to command the Union Army, but he realized that Napoleon was already an enemy.
"If the French have no objection, let Mr. Wellesley command the army.
"Contact the Congresses and Governors of the southern states of the United States and authorize them to organize militias to resist the invasion of Canada and the Northern Army.

Generals such as Desaix, Davout and Napoleon rose to fame in their thirties.
Due to the strong cultural influence of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers from non-aristocratic and minor aristocratic backgrounds also have a certain room for advancement.
It was not like the French Revolution, where most of the revolutionaries from the lower class occupied the upper echelons, thereby angering most of the traditional aristocrats in the entire West.
This kind of long-term compromise and peacemaking between different classes of society is the key to the royal families of various countries being able to continue to maintain their rule and to maintain the sustainable development of social structure and technology.
French generals who were not high-ranking nobles, such as Napoleon, Desaix, Davout, and Berthier, came to the fore in this situation.
In the original history, Desai was shot while riding a horse and died young.
In this world, technology is accelerating, and when a world war breaks out, commanders no longer have the chance to charge on horseback.
Coupled with the fact that no war related to the French Revolution broke out, Desai's fate also changed.
Desai survived normally and became more famous than ever before.
If Napoleon was still around, France's strongest army general would be Napoleon.
Napoleon ran away, and the French were sifting through the remaining generals, and Desai, who came from a traditional aristocratic background, became the best candidate.
To be on the safe side, Davout, who was born in a minor noble family, and Berthier, the best chief of staff, were added.
Desai was a close friend of Napoleon in the original history, Berthier was Napoleon's chief of staff, and Davout was the commander of Emperor Napoleon's Praetorian Guard.
Now the three of them, together with Napoleon's opponent, Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, went to attack Napoleon.
Louis XVI didn't have any ideas to begin with, and Duke Richelieu's plan was relatively sound, so he just nodded.
So Britain and France began to contact each other to discuss the details of the joint operation.
The two sides had already cooperated during the Anti-Ming Alliance, and had just separated for more than a year. Most of the personnel were familiar with each other, and the formation of the command team was quickly completed.
The organization of the troops began to be left to the officers.
At the same time, Beiyinzhou.
The troops of the new Canadian King, Napoleon I, are continuing to attack Canada.
The American Northern Forces formed with Napoleon also continued to attack the northern United States.
No actual large-scale war broke out.
Although most of the northern cities in Canada and the United States cannot be said to have surrendered, they can be regarded as "decided by word of mouth."
The remaining Canadian regions in this world are basically the Great Lakes region that originally belonged to the United States. ….
This was originally the main industrial area in northern Yinzhou. Under the pressure of industrial dumping from Britain and France, it had a higher tendency to be independent.
After France ceded the north of the Great Lakes, immigrants from the north of the Great Lakes moved south of the Great Lakes at the same time.
This resulted in a sudden increase in the labor force in the area south of the Great Lakes. Factory owners were able to recruit workers more easily, and the wages paid were naturally lowered.
The funds brought by factory owners and investors who migrated from the areas north of the Great Lakes caused short-term hyperinflation in the markets south of the Great Lakes.
The combination of the two quickly reduced the living standards of the entire French Canada, causing local dissatisfaction to accumulate.
News related to the Church of Quebec has exposed the face of the church that maintains social stability.
The conflicts in Canada have been pushed to the breaking point.
Everywhere people shouted slogans for independence.
It was Napoleon's suppression of 100,000 elite troops that barely maintained stability in Canada.
Now Napoleon instigated most of the troops to rebel, and he himself shouted slogans for independence, which immediately aroused large-scale followers and echoes.
Napoleon, a general, established himself as king, which is difficult to accept in traditional Thai and Western culture.
But in this world, Taixi has received the cultural influence of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone knows that the princes and generals Xiang Ning have the kind
Almost.
In addition, the reputation of the church in Canada was already bad, so Napoleon stopped looking for the church to be crowned.
Napoleon directly proclaimed himself king, and at the same time also referred to the Chinese tradition and granted a large number of ministers.
The generals who followed him basically directly received titles and military ranks of different levels.
Original officials from all over Canada, if they were willing to join directly, were also given officials and titles.
Most of the immigrants in the colonies were from common people, and even if there were nobles, they were mostly down-and-out nobles and minor nobles.
Napoleon's operation of Dongfang City directly gave ordinary people the opportunity to become nobles.
There are also opportunities to become high-ranking officials, opportunities to become high-ranking military officers and even generals and marshals.
And this time there are two new countries, the two kingdoms of Canada and the United States.
There are not a large number of old nobles occupying the pit, but there are a large number of nobles, officers, and military ranks that can be sold.
Napoleon created ten marshals, ten dukes, one governor for each state, and even more middle- and low-level nobles, generals, and officials.
Except for a few small nobles who joined, most of these canonized people were from common people.
At the same time, Napoleon announced religious tolerance and no longer restricted residents' religious sects, and all were eligible to become citizens.
Napoleon responded to the conflict that was already on the verge of breaking out by declaring independence, establishing a country, and conferring titles like a wholesale sale, quickly stabilizing the fundamentals of his regime.
The early actions were mostly about staking the claim, and the receiving action basically encountered no obvious resistance.
Only occasionally did sporadic small-scale battles break out when die-hard old aristocratic officials and military officers were encountered somewhere.
But it is usually resolved quickly, because independence and joining the new kingdom are the mainstream, and opponents are often eliminated directly by those around them. ….
The generals who followed Napoleon were overjoyed and finally knew how great it was to build a new country like China.
But Napoleon and Adams showed no signs of relaxing.
They all knew that the war that would determine the fate of the new nation would soon come.
Not a war against the suppressive and punitive forces of Britain and France itself, but a war against Virginia and the states to the south.
The American region south of Virginia is an important source of food and industrial raw materials.
If these areas cannot be captured, the development ceiling of the emerging country will be severely limited.
Only by fully integrating these places can we have a chance to become a powerful country surpassing Britain and France.
Napoleon and Adams demanded obedience from Virginia and the states to the south in the name of Queen Charlotte.
Let the local militia disarm and be reorganized by the generals sent by Napoleon.
Stop contact with the British mainland and refuse orders from the British mainland.
In the future, taxes will be paid directly to the Royal Government in New York, etc.
A week after the relevant news was sent out, eight southern states - Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi - responded on the same day, with exactly the same response.
They've obviously already contacted each other.
The state parliaments were the first to recognize Queen Charlotte's status.
Then he denounced Adams as a shameful rebel, national thief, usurper, and beautiful woman, and refused to accept Adams' "correct edict."
Adams was required to immediately stop all acts of rebellion, surrender, and accept the judgment of the kingdom.
Three members of the royal family, including Queen Charlotte, were immediately sent to Richmond.
Immediately release all Southern members of the Congress of the United States.
Immediately expel the French rebels led by Napoleon.
Otherwise, the eight southern states will jointly form the "Volunteer Militia", "Northern Qinwang" and "Qingjun Side". .
