Dominate the Country

In the history of the Lighthouse Country in later generations, their third president, Thomas Jefferson, was definitely an outstanding and great president. He abolished many annoying federal laws. During his two terms as president, he abolished the Naturalization Act, the Alien Act, the Enemy Alien Act, and the Sedition Act promulgated by the previous Adams administration, safeguarding the basic rights of the people. And actively promoted the policy of westward expansion.

——There is also a vast land between Louisiana and the thirteen states of North America.

Historically, Jefferson's greatest contribution to the Lighthouse Country during his tenure was the purchase of New Orleans, West Florida, and Louisiana. The latter doubled the territory of the United States.

Even if these land purchases are stripped away, because in today's "real" time and space, New Orleans and the entire Florida, as well as the vast Louisiana, have all become China's sphere of influence. Jefferson is also an outstanding president. The old United States has made great progress during his two terms in office, both in terms of population and economy.

In 1808, Jefferson's second term was coming to an end, but the Lighthouse Country, which had been born for more than 20 years, also ushered in the most significant crisis and choice since its birth.

That was the crossroads of fate, one thought of life and one thought of death.

If it were possible, the entire Lighthouse Country would not want to experience such a choice, but they had no chance. The crisis threatening the survival of the Lighthouse Country has come quietly-the Chinese have come to the Lighthouse Country, and the Lighthouse Country must face it bravely, instead of sticking its head in the sand like an ostrich.

The Chinese, whose ambitions are as endless as the greed of the devil, are attacking the Spaniards in South America. The Portuguese have bravely united with the Spanish, and they face the yellow devil together. And the Lighthouse Country, which is in North America and lives next to China, has now come to the moment to decide its own destiny.

Is it to stand bravely with the Spaniards and Portuguese to face this "yellow peril" that endangers the entire monotheistic civilization, or to lower your head and wait until the Chinese devour the entire South America before killing the Lighthouse Country.

Jefferson actually has made up his mind. But he still needs to convince many people that the Lighthouse Country is not just his Lighthouse Country.

"Mr. President, Special Envoy Yang has arrived at the Presidential Palace."

A staff member of the Presidential Palace said to Jefferson. The Special Envoy Yang he mentioned is Yang Dewang, a member of the Council of State sent by Chen Han. The latter played an extremely important role in the Japanese slave labor incident. When that game came to an end, Yang Dewang also received his reward and became a member of the Council of State. At first glance, it is more than Tang Feipeng and Wang Jia [Kitano] got.

Now Yang Dewang, accompanied by the Secretary of State James Madison of the Lighthouse Country, has arrived at the Presidential Palace. Today Jefferson will host a banquet for Yang Dewang at the Presidential Palace, and this is also an opportunity for Yang Dewang. Yang Dewang will give a speech to many top military and political leaders of the Lighthouse Country. This is a prelude to his speech in Congress, and it is also a brief summary of Yang Dewang's open and transparent political views and ideas during this trip.

As for those things that are not open and transparent, of course they cannot be said carelessly.

Two copper-clad doors were opened, and Jefferson strode in, with the red carpet under his feet all the way to the door of the presidential palace. In this era, the Lighthouse Country did not have a three-service guard of honor for Yang Dewang to review, although Yang Dewang's status was not enough for that. The old Americans did have a band playing music on the lawn next to them.

Yang Dewang looked at the group of Lighthouse people in Western clothes in front of him, which did not make him feel any intimacy. After decades of rolling around in Chen Han, the little pro-Western thoughts in his heart had long been polished away.

"Mr. President, gentlemen present:

Thank you for your invitation today, I feel very honored. This is my second visit to the Lighthouse Country in ten years. Last time, as a businessman from afar, I was warmly welcomed by your people. This time, I received your warm and generous hospitality, and I was surprised to find that I was the first Chinese person to enjoy such an honor." Because Yang Dewang was the first Chinese envoy to the United States in recent years. Last time, he arrived in America with two ships full of goods. Whether it was raw silk, tea, porcelain, medicine, cloth, small hardware and other ironware, they were all hot commodities in the United States.

"This does not mean that our dynasty has always ignored the Lighthouse Country. The booming trade exchange trend between the two countries in recent years proves this. However, in terms of official exchanges, this is indeed an oversight." The Lighthouse Country did not take the initiative to find Chen Han. Did Chen Han have to send a special envoy to the Lighthouse Country for no reason? There is a give and take, just like now, the Lighthouse Country first submitted a letter of protest to Chen Han's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which led to Yang Dewang's visit to the Lighthouse Country.

"But I am very glad to make up for this oversight. I hope that my presence today can further prove that China values ​​its relationship with your country." Anyway, it is just procrastination. The second batch of expeditionary forces of Siam and Japan have not landed yet, and it is a bit powerless to immediately resist the 200,000 troops of the United States. Yes, the United States has expanded its military. The military expansion began last year. Although many militias are not regular troops, the militias in various states here are more powerful than the regular troops of the Lighthouse Country.

And there is news that the British were deeply involved in this. The French general Moreau became the army commander-in-chief of the Lighthouse Country, and the British Governor of Canada was unknowingly replaced by Arthur Wellesley. No wonder there is no news about him in the Iberian Peninsula. It turned out that he was sent to Canada by London.

Moreover, the Office in Europe reported back that although the British army in America is very weak, it is estimated that there are only 10,000 people. This number is Canada and the Caribbean combined. However, the British Royal Navy has invested heavily in the Americas. According to data, the British Royal Navy has deployed 97 warships in American waters. Among them are eleven capital ships [third-level sailing battleships] and 34 frigates.

Adding together the numbers of the navy and army of the Lighthouse Country, the number is not only 200,000, but the British also armed many Indians.

These Indians got mixed up with the French. In the Seven Years' War, the Gallic Rooster lost everything, and the Indians were included in the British sphere of influence. When the Lighthouse Nation was independent, they also cooperated with the British army to fight against the United States. Even during the second Anglo-American War in the original time and space, these Indians were also good allies of the British army. It’s no wonder that the Lighthouse Country later slaughtered Indians so ruthlessly.

"It is a long distance from Washington to Nanjing. The distance is caused by a combination of factors such as history, geography, culture, political views, etc." The difference between the lighthouse country and China of this era is more than just those thousands of miles. The spatial distance is far away, and the more 'distance' is the difference in culture and politics.

Even Chen Han, who "opened his eyes to see the world", now has thousands of people who saw the Lighthouse Congress and deeply cursed the last sentence: treason.

"I first came to Philadelphia about nine years ago. I personally have a very good impression of the United States. In the years after the Lighthouse Nation won the Revolutionary War, the trade between the two countries has continued to increase. The two countries have continued to increase. People’s understanding of each other is gradually increasing.”

"Mr. Stephen Newton is a scholar with a very serious attitude. He has stayed with His Majesty for thirty years." Even people in the lighthouse country know the name of Stephen Newton. This is the greatest person since "Apple Newton" The second 'Newton'.

"This gentleman with a deep understanding of Eastern and Western culture and politics once wrote in his diary: "A deep understanding of the Lighthouse Country can open the door to a new knowledge empire for ancient China. It is the most dazzling fruit of wisdom ever produced in human thought. "

"Since then, my compatriots have been fascinated by the Lighthouse Country. Later, I personally came to this magical land and came to this recognized land of freedom and freedom. The technology and culture between the two countries Although the exchanges have just begun, research on your country has already set off a boom in China.

Although the political opinions of the two countries are very different, we can still reach a high degree of consensus on many world affairs, and we have similar interests in many areas. "

"I came to the Lighthouse Country during a very important historical period." Both sides are sharpening their knives. "The current lighthouse country has left a deep impression on me, especially the realist atmosphere, the determination to achieve stable development, and the stable economic development based on your country's system and beliefs." I am deeply inspired by the lighthouse country. They don't want to go to war with China, but they are forced to do it as a last resort. The future is also very slim!

"We all know that there is no perfect solution to problems of domestic and international interests, but we cannot dismiss them all. Peace and freedom are our first principles and are rights enjoyed by every country. But everyone We also know that to maintain peace, we must be strong. "In the jungle of today's world, how can there be security without strength? This is a world where the weak eat the strong.

"In country-to-country interactions, there is always a misconception that it is not strength but weakness that attracts invaders, and aggression does not need to be repaid. I know there is a saying in the West, which means: We cannot let invaders become more powerful. . I personally agree with this sentence very much.

Mr. President, Mr. Secretary of State and I have also talked before that opposing hegemonism is the basic principle of China's foreign policy. This is a concept that we both understand and agree with. It is precisely because we oppose hegemony and aggression that the powerful Chinese nation has stood peacefully in the east of the world for thousands of years, instead of constantly going out to plunder the land that other nations rely on for survival like Western colonists. China is a peace-loving country.

It was the Western colonists who first made us feel threatened. Starting 300 years ago, the Chinese in Southeast Asia left tens of thousands of blood. I will not offend others unless they offend me, but I will offend them if they offend me! This is the political purpose of His Majesty our country and the guideline for China's foreign relations. We resolutely resist all military and political pressure that infringes upon our independence and jeopardizes our form of government and way of life. Our country hopes to find partners with the same political philosophy, such as countries in the East such as Japan, Siam, Phnom Penh, and Gorkha, and we will jointly resist any infringement of our interests. "

"Putting aside unpleasant realities and having self-comforting fantasies will not solve any problem." Can the United States, with its little strength, still hope to defeat China? Facts are facts, and the United States must clearly understand it.

As China continues to grow, it is also constantly undermining the interests of other countries. In the Americas, China has seriously threatened the interests of the United States.

"In this vast new continent of America, we clearly recognize that our two countries have similar interests in a wide range of areas." Conflict of interests is the biggest contradiction between China and the United States, but in this era of the survival of the fittest, how can the strong give in to the weak?

"Mr. President and I have had the first round of useful dialogue, but we have not yet started to discuss issues related to the Americas. I look forward to continuing to discuss this important topic with you tomorrow." Yang Dewang's words were soft but firm. He did not directly sweep away the face of the old Americans, but the bigwigs of the Lighthouse Country would not fail to hear the hidden meaning in his words.

As soon as the voice changed, Yang Dewang said the closing words, which were also polite and threatening.

"Dear gentlemen, I mentioned before that there is a great geographical distance between our two countries, but distance cannot determine anything." If Chen Han wants to destroy the United States, no matter how far the distance is, it cannot stop the army's front. "Especially in this world that is getting smaller day by day. A poet from the Tang Dynasty, 1,200 years ago, said in a poem to a parting friend: "A bosom friend is a friend indeed." His poem is also applicable to countries. The friendship between China and the United States is beneficial to both of our countries and meaningful to the world. Tonight, I am very honored to write a new and historic chapter for this friendship."

"Now please allow me to propose that everyone raise their glasses to the honorable Mr. President, His Majesty the Great Emperor of China, the honorable people of the two countries and all the friends from the Lighthouse Country who are present today, and to the further development of the friendship between China and the United States. Cheers!"

War is the continuation of politics. If the goal can be achieved at the negotiation table, no one wants to pay the price of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Yang Dewang smiled and raised the wine glass filled with wine, and saluted everyone from a distance.

He hoped that the Lighthouse Country could avoid it by itself. The imperial army would be bloody. As a monotheist, he did not want to see war.
