Napoleon's heart was not as peaceful as it appeared.
I even felt a little aggrieved and angry.
Napoleon felt that if he completely followed his inner thoughts, he should directly drive out Standington, a heroic woman.
He immediately continued his military operations, and after integrating the existing British and French colonies, he directly turned his guns towards the Ming Dynasty.
Seize all the Ming Dynasty's colonies in Yinzhou.
The country that controls the entire Northern Yinzhou is the country that truly has a chance to become a world empire.
But I can't do that myself.
If the people of the Ming Dynasty were not conservative and cautious, the entire Taixi combined could not consume the Ming Dynasty.
If the world war had not ended like this, the entire western continent might have fallen completely.
The power he currently controls is not worth mentioning in front of Daming.
Ming Dynasty knew that the country that controlled the entire Northern Yinzhou could become an empire that challenged its status.
Only then would he encourage himself to rebel, while at the same time interfering in the situation in Yinzhou to control the scale of the country he established.
Even the integration of the colonies of Britain and France was not allowed.
The future scale of my country has been strictly limited by the Ming Dynasty.
But he didn't have the power to resist this restriction.
Ming Dynasty is a behemoth, a behemoth that no one can resist, pressing down on the entire world.
Except for internal problems, no one can defeat him from the outside.
Only when internal conflicts and divisions broke out in the Ming Dynasty could he have the opportunity to establish an empire that encompassed the entire Northern Yinzhou.
Napoleon stared at Stendong for a long time, and when he saw that Stendong was a little embarrassed, he asked again:
"What if Britain and France, after being defeated by me, come up with enough conditions again to invite Ming to join the war?"
Standong was a little panicked by Napoleon.
But when I heard this question, I immediately laughed.
Although Napoleon was a "hero" and a terrifying beast, he could only restrain his minions in front of the Ming Dynasty.
Stendong suddenly felt that he was still too unstable.
He now represents the will of Ming Dynasty, and no one with sense would dare to really embarrass himself.
Even the foreign ministers of other countries in Thailand and Spain may not have this status.
And I am just a fan of Xichang.
Standong calmed down and explained with a smile:
"The Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom, not just barbarians. Everyone in the court must pay attention to credibility.
"If Daming has reached an agreement with you, it will abide by it as much as possible unless there is force majeure.
"In other words, Ming Dynasty will no longer interfere in the war between you and Britain and France."
Napoleon thought about it in his mind.
Agree to the Ming Dynasty's conditions and hand over to the Ming Dynasty the Michigan area west of the connection between the southernmost end of Michigan Lake and the mouth of the Mobile River in the Gulf of Mexico, and north of the connection between the southern end of Michigan Lake and the southern end of Yinli Lake, plus Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula. .
And then keep all the areas currently occupied independent, then the area of the country you establish will not be smaller than the previous French Canada, and may even be larger.
And with more coastline, the territory overall moved eastward. ….
It just lost important iron ore producing areas.
This was the price for Ming to stop interfering.
It was just the price for keeping Ming from intervening.
Napoleon was silent for a long time, and finally nodded:
"If Ming Dynasty no longer interferes with Canada, I can accept these conditions.
"But these lands cannot be handed over to Ming immediately.
"It will have to wait until our war with Britain and France ends, Britain and France recognize Canada's independence, and Ming Dynasty also publicly recognizes it.
"Only then can we transfer the ownership of those lands to Ming Dynasty."
Staunton frowned slightly, Napoleon was
Bargaining is asking for guarantees and promises.
To prevent Ming Dynasty from directly getting the land and then turning against the people and disowning the people:
"I need to ask for instructions from His Highness Prince Dashi of the Ming Dynasty."
Napoleon nodded directly:
"Can."
Staunton returned to his residence and recorded the process of communication with Napoleon.
After condensing and refining the content, use portable radio equipment to distribute it to peripheral West Factory personnel.
The corresponding personnel forwarded the content to the offices of Honglu Temple and Zhu Jingyuan again.
When Zhu Jingyuan saw the result of the discussion between Staunton and Napoleon, he nodded gently without any expression.
So far, the agreements with Britain and France, as well as the agreement with Napoleon, have determined the ownership of the land they claim.
In other words, no matter what the final outcome of the war is, no matter how Britain, France and Napoleon compete or compromise.
Ming's interests were guaranteed.
As for Napoleon's request to hand over the land after the war, it is of course impossible to agree to it unconditionally.
After Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while, he asked Niu Jian to write a reply to Napoleon:
"First, if the war ends within five years and Britain and France recognize Canada's independence within five years, then most of the land in the interior can be transferred at the same time as the war ends.
"Second, if the war lasts for more than five years, or if Britain and France never recognize Canada's status, Canada should hand over the corresponding land within six years.
"Please Napoleon ask his soldiers to evacuate and let Ming's troops directly enter the corresponding areas.
"Third, the above agreement does not include Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula. These two areas must be transferred to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.
"Similarly adopt the plan of stationing Ming troops and withdrawing troops controlled by Napoleon."
Zhu Jingyuan's intention was sent to Napoleon the next day.
After Napoleon read it, he nodded without much thought.
Including the Chesapeake Peninsula and Long Island, the area north of Virginia in the United States was not territory directly controlled by Napoleon himself.
That was the territory of the industrial and mining groups in the northern United States that Adams represented.
The groups represented by Napoleon and Adams were still cooperative for the time being, and even nominally belonged to two countries for the time being.
Napoleon was the King of Canada and Adams was the Duke of Massachusetts in the Kingdom of America.
Napoleon's own base does not need to be ceded for the time being, and he is not very sensitive to Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.
Moreover, handing over Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty would put the security of northern America directly at risk from the Ming Dynasty and increase the overall dependence of the local people on Canada. ….
When Napoleon's decision was sent to New York City, the Adamses almost jumped.
The younger Quincy Adams howled at the top of his lungs:
"There are 600,000 people in Kings County (Brooklyn) and Queens County (Queens) on Long Island!
"And the Chesapeake Peninsula, including the entire state of Delaware and a small half of Maryland..."
Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island have not yet been incorporated into New York City at this time. They are not New York boroughs for the time being, but are two independent counties belonging to the entire New York State, named King and Queen respectively.
As a father, John Adams calmed down a little and quickly calmed down:
"Napoleon sold more land. The three states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois totaled nearly 400,000 square kilometers of land. The total population may be greater than that of Long Island and the Chesapeake Peninsula.
"These lands and ports are the price in exchange for Ming Dynasty no longer interfering in our war of independence..."
Quincy is still a little grumpy:
"However, Long Island is very close to Manhattan, less than one kilometer in total.
"If the Ming Dynasty sets up artillery on the west side of Long Island, it can destroy the entire Manhattan."
Adams waved his hand and said:
"If you don't hand over Changdao to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will
Is there no way to destroy Manhattan?
"Having a place that is in direct and close contact with the Ming Dynasty may not be detrimental to our development.
“It can be used as a window for direct communication with Daming, and it can introduce Daming’s technology and equipment.
"I think it will be difficult for us to truly rule the South because the country we want to build does not have all the resources.
“Our subsequent development will definitely rely heavily on foreign trade, and DaMing will obviously become an important trading partner.
"At the same time, Ming Dynasty will not drive out the locals again this time, and a large number of Taixi people will be left in both places.
"They are the same kind as us. As long as they still live in these places, they may not have the opportunity to take them back in the future.
"We don't have the ability to resist now, we can only hope that there will be problems within the Ming Dynasty in the future..."
Quincy was silent.
Cuba, Havana.
On the Yinzhou continent opposite Cuba, the coastline from Florida to Texas belongs to the Ming Dynasty.
But on such a long coastline, there are no particularly excellent ports, especially deep-water ports where battleships can dock.
Although there are also parts of the lagoon coast on the north and south sides of the island of Cuba, the scope does not completely encompass the island of Cuba.
The east and west ends of the island have rocky coastlines facing the deep sea, and there are several ports where the water depth is over 100 meters.
There are also several large bays, including Havana, Santiago, Guantanamo, Cienfuegos, Nuevatas, Preston, etc.
Due to the lack of sufficient economic hinterland, these ports are difficult to develop and expand, but they are all very suitable as military ports.
In addition, the geographical location of Cuba Island is particularly important. It is a "golden key" to control the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and even the Central Yinzhou Sea.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty placed the naval headquarters of the Beiyinzhou region in Havana on the island of Cuba.
At the same time, Havana and Santiago, two cities that have served as the capitals of Cuba in history, were selected as the current Yinzhou regional fleet base.
One is staring at the Gulf of Mexico and the Northern Yinzhou Continent, and the other is staring at the Caribbean Sea and the Southern Yinzhou Continent.
Due to the turbulent situation in Yinzhou, all troops sent to Yinzhou received special instructions.
All units are on high alert and are taking turns going directly to combat alert.
After the Ming Emperor's order was sent to Havana via telegram, the fleet on standby was immediately dispatched.
The fleet passed through the Strait of Florida and went north along the eastern coastline of Beiyinzhou.
Two days later the fleet arrived off Virginia and separated off the Chesapeake Bay.
One fleet entered the Chesapeake Bay and entered Norfolk Harbor, while the other continued north into New York Bay. .
