Dominate the Country

Although the Lighthouse State was not the British Empire with superb diplomatic skills, Jefferson and Madison's political wisdom was not bad either. Of course they could hear the threat hidden in Yang Dewang's "friendly" speech.

In Yang Dewang's speech, the first half of his speech was all nonsense, whether it was about cultural freedom or cultural politics, it was all nonsense.

The words that truly express Chen Han's wishes are: "I came to the Lighthouse Country during a very important historical period." This sentence means that the relationship between the two countries has reached a decision point of whether they are enemies or friends.

"The current lighthouse country has left a deep impression on me, especially the realist ethos, determination to achieve stable development, and the stable economic development based on your country's system and beliefs."

The realist ethos refers to the covert hostility that the United States has shown towards China before, its determination to achieve stable development, and its basically stable economic development based on your country's system and beliefs. This can be regarded as praising America. That they have the determination to defend their interests and future with arms.

But these words also confirm something from another aspect - China already knows, or in other words, China has determined that the United States wants to arm itself to defend its rights and interests.

When Yang Dewang said this, the expressions of many of the senior leaders of the Lighthouse Country present changed. Let China know that the United States has the idea of ​​using force against China, which is a very dangerous thing.

Yang Dewang's next words also confirmed this. He first said, "The weak will eat the strong", and then he said that I will not attack others unless they attack me, but I will attack others if they attack me! This is the threat of Hongguoguo.

Finally, Yang Dewang released a "goodwill" statement. China is a peace-loving country. China hopes to find partners with the same political philosophy, such as Japan, Siam, Phnom Penh, and Gorkha in the East.

This is showing the way for America. As long as America is willing to surrender!

…

"Sir, that's the American camp." Under the cover of night, on the east bank of the Mississippi River, near the Great Lakes region, on a hillside at the junction of China and the United States, several sneaky black figures were squatting there and watching. Looking at a brightly lit camp in the distance below the mountain.

There seemed to be a camp made of logs. Oil lamps, torches and other lighting objects were lit everywhere in the camp. Two very formal trenches were dug outside the camp, as well as fences, parapets and mounds. This was not just for To protect against some wild beasts - Such specifications are not needed to protect against wild beasts, this is to protect against humans. Although such a defense cannot withstand rockets, it can also withstand ordinary artillery shells and infantry. According to investigation, there were originally only one military chaplain, one chaplain assistant, two U.S. Army officers, and about thirty-five soldiers in the camp. They immediately set up a temporary camp here after arriving here half a month ago. Then the American flag was raised. But now there is an additional militia company of one hundred people.

The Americans have set up a military outpost here!

The National Defense Forces stationed at the military station near the border reported the news immediately, and soon, the garrison headquarters issued a reply of 'expulsion'. Unfortunately, this order had just been sent to the military station, and the people at the military station had not yet The few people who came came to carry out the order, and another order came immediately, but it asked them to be calm because Yang Dewang was still in Washington.

But the officers from the Military Intelligence Bureau got wind of it and came. At the same time, in accordance with the subsequent orders from the garrison headquarters, the brigade headquarters of the military station also sent people to negotiate with the United States, requiring the other party to immediately dismantle the outpost and return to their starting point to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings; At the same time, a detailed reconnaissance of the nearby geographical terrain was conducted in order to have a detailed understanding of the Americans' travel routes and supply routes.

The Americans, of course, rejected this.

This land was the disputed territory between Britain and the United States. According to the "Paris Peace Treaty", this land located south of the Great Lakes belongs to the United States, but now it has fallen into the hands of China. What the United States is doing now is to cross the border. . At the same time, they instead asked Chen Han to dismantle the nearby military station, because this is the natural territory of the Lighthouse State. Of course, Chen Han would not retreat at will. Instead, he began to monitor this group of Americans - they did not dare to use force against the Americans until they received authorization again from their superiors.

Soon, after another team-level reinforcements arrived at the military station, a minor physical conflict occurred between the Chinese and American patrol teams during a routine mission. They held a wrestling + free fighting conference. And just as quickly, the Americans also drove over with a militia company of a hundred people.

The rapid response of the Americans this time surprised Chen Han and made the local situation immediately tense.

At this time, the external liaison personnel of the garrison also made an urgent appointment with the military and political officials of the American Fortress Dearborn [Chicago], and had a frank and profound discussion on the military frictions that had occurred between Chen Han and the United States in the region. 'The result of the negotiation was that it naturally ended on bad terms. The Americans have a very tough attitude. Whether this toughness is due to the instructions from their superiors or simply based on the indignation of nearby US officers and soldiers, the fact now is that the United States has extended its military presence to Chinese soil.

The friction between China and the United States has caused the local Potawatomi tribe [Indians] to disappear. The Americans naturally want to safeguard the interests of the United States, so they refused to give in when negotiating with the garrison's external relations personnel, and their tone was extremely tough. It seemed that they wanted to use this method to make the garrison have some scruples and act in a knowledgeable manner. Retreat from difficulty.

Although the external relations of the garrison army looks like a military department, in fact, the backbones inside are all from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Most of these people have rich diplomatic experience. Many of them have been engaged in diplomatic work for many years. Naturally, they are not stupid. They know very well what it means for the Americans to build a military outpost here. This is a very intense reaction, which means that the possibility of a war between the two sides has been infinitely magnified.

Shen Shiying, who has returned to Tokyo from Chile, is unwilling to see the garrison army "getting into trouble" for the sake of the interests of the Shen family. Because this will inevitably affect the southward operations. But from the perspective of a soldier, from the perspective of military and long-term interests, he agrees with Chen Han's war against the United States. Because he himself is also a member who believes that the war between Chen Han and the United States is inevitable!

But unlike the radicals who are eager to defeat the United States' military power in one fell swoop while the United States is not fully prepared-at least there are many people in it who are different from those who go to war with China. Shen Shiying believes that it is best to start a war in an upright manner. Even if the United States cannot be destroyed in one war, the beacon country will be crippled, and the local people will not dare to think about war anymore, destroying all their confidence. The war with the Americans requires inflicting great damage on them.

His view is more representative in the staff department, because the latter has a longer-term vision. Compared with many commanders who only care about military merits, the staff department has a broader vision and a longer-term vision. Most of the staff officers at the garrison headquarters are in favor of postponing the war, even if the entire war is delayed for a year or two, so that they can fully prepare and then crush the resistance of the US military with unstoppable force.

Moreover, the Americans have not made a final decision, whether to fight or endure.

At this point, the old Americans have no third way to go.

Is it to die early or wait to die? It depends on their decision.

The garrison army does not know what the United States thinks, anyway, they, as well as the vassal kings in North America, all agree to go to war with the United States.

America is just a small ant to the huge China, but this small ant is an absolute huge threat to the newly established North American vassal states.

The Americans always felt that China's expansion in the Americas posed a great threat to them; the vassal states also felt that the rapid growth of the American population was a fatal threat to them.

Few people shook their heads and sighed at the inevitability of war, and worried about the disasters after the war.

In the eyes of the ambitious young people in the garrison army, the dispatched army and the vassal army who were deeply influenced by the Chinese [Huang Han] doctrine and the Tian and Chao thoughts, war was the best way for them to move towards greater glory. And the argument of opening up a wider living space for the country through war has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So much so that they all had a warm sense of mission in their hearts, and even the officers had to appease them.

Among them, the fighting spirit of the dispatched army and the vassal army was very high, and this was also because their military exploits could be exchanged for land. These vassal states that have already established themselves and the vassal states that are about to be established all learned Chen Han's "replacing wages with fields" method to win over the army. This method can indeed stimulate the army's fighting enthusiasm and high morale.

But the passion of the garrison soldiers is not inferior to them. Their military merit points cannot be exchanged for land. However, these people have received more or less modern education, Huaxiaism, nationalism, patriotism, and the influence of Tianchao thought since childhood. They highly identify with Chen Han, the "court", and are relatively loyal to the country. They are different from their predecessors who fight for money or life. They are proud of being Chinese. They have a warm sense of mission to open up the living space of their own country, expand Chen Han, and strengthen Tianchao, which makes them full of passion in the battle and makes Chen Ming feel very relieved.

Since the end of the "field instead of salary" policy, the National Defense Army has experienced a low tide, and this low tide lasted for a long time. But in the end, Chen Ming's persistence received the reward he longed for. Now the soldiers of this army have a qualitative improvement in their sense of national identity, cohesion, and national pride and pride in Huaxia, and have already shown signs of a modern army.

They joined the army for the country and for tens of millions of citizens; they fought for this country and tens of millions of ordinary people.

They are proud of this country, and they are willing to devote their efforts, blood, and lives to surround the sacred glory of this country.

Chen Ming believes that if such results are accompanied by continuous military victories, the "army" he expects may really come to China in a few decades.

An army forged by new ideas, new concepts, new beliefs, and a new sense of mission, an army born in blood and fire. Just thinking about it makes Chen Ming excited.

With such an army, the entire West will unite in the future, and the entire West and the entire Tianfang will unite, and Chen Ming will not be afraid. If the huge empire he established is defended by such an army, Chen Ming will die with peace of mind.

A nation that has not experienced the tempering of blood and fire is not a real nation, but just a pile of loose sand. They lack the most important cohesion that a nation has. Any delusion that through common life and common prosperity in material wealth on the surface, so as to achieve the natural integration and formation of the nation, is unrealistic and naive, and is doomed to fail. The country they form will eventually fall apart.

Because from ancient times to the present, no nation has been formed in this way and survived forever.

The existence of Huaxia, Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolia, etc. in Chinese history has long used their own experiences to confirm the true journey of the nation.

This is also the biggest reason why Chen Ming insisted on recruiting new soldiers from the local indigenous population after "conquering" Korea, Annan, Myanmar and other regions.
