Chapter 193 Not just Baja California!
Why did Li Mengyang meet this Yang Willie?
It's very simple. Li Mengyang is very interested in the young man in front of him, and the one who is most interested in it is...
"Lt. Yang Willie, have you ever fought a war before? Or have you been to a military academy?"
"Report to Your Majesty! I have never fought a war! I have never been to a military academy!"
"Um?"
This incident made Li Mengyang particularly concerned about this Yang Weili.
"Your Majesty, I have listened to the Royal Military School of Sanhurst in the UK. Well, I was eavesdropping." When Yang Willie saw that the emperor's eyes were wrong, he quickly explained it all.
"Just this?" Li Mengyang didn't want this answer. He actually... "How do you think that machine gun is what you call "premature ejaculation man". How should we improve it?"
Li Mengyang has an unusual concern about this issue.
"Your Majesty! I think this machine gun is very good. There is no need to improve anything. Even if it can only be used for five minutes, it consumes tens of thousands of ammunition in five minutes. As long as we can use it properly, it will be very good."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes, your majesty!"
Li Mengyang still looked at this Yang Willie, and his eyes felt like he couldn't see through.
"Your Majesty?" Yang Weili was unsure of being seen.
Li Mengyang immediately asked again, "Do you understand the artillery?"
"Your Majesty, I know a little." I don't know why I asked about artillery, but Yang Willie could only answer truthfully.
"Okay... Then I ask you, how about rifling? Should we all be rifled guns in the future?"
"Of course. Of course the rifle is good..."
This question...What exactly is Li Mengyang going to do?
Actually, this is nothing. Li Mengyang continued to ask many more strange questions.
"How do you think you want to improve the toilet?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, I don't understand."
"Where is the school?"
"A place for teaching, of course, it would be great if we Han people could all read and write words!"
"Why, what should I do with the hospital?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand..."
After asking for a long time, what is Li Mengyang doing?
It’s very simple. In fact, Li Mengyang just wanted to determine whether the boy in front of him had traveled through time!
Yang Willie's performance reminded Li Mengyang of this problem, so our Emperor tested, what was the result?
It seems that this guy is not a time traveler!
Why is this conclusion?
In fact, it is simple. That is, a person. When he is asked a question, or if he wants to take the exam, there is a possibility that it can prove that the person is lying and cheating. That is, all answers are wrong!
Yes, there is only one possibility. This person is all right, that's nothing, but everything is wrong, especially for things that need quick answers when asked. If they are wrong, then this person must be lying.
This is a simple psychology. If all are wrong, it means that the person actually knows the correct answer, but he doesn't want to answer correctly, so he will be wrong all of them. This is a conditioned reflex. Simply put, if it is natural to answer the question, even if it is misleading, you can still get a few questions right, unless he answers it on purpose. Now you are talking to each other, and you go through the minds of so many questions, sum up the number of right and wrong, and then deceive others. Obviously, this is impossible to do, even a master of psychology does not have the ability.
For a person of such an era, the above answer is still good, right and wrong. Li Mengyang feels that the young man in front of him... Well, actually Li Mengyang is not old either... This young man is definitely not a time traveler.
"Maybe, this is a talent, but unfortunately it was buried in the long river of history." Li Mengyang gave Yang Willie an attribution.
I think this possibility is still very high. There are still many Han people who are not interested in the Qing Dynasty rule, and many have even gone overseas. And you should know that from now on to the next thirty years, the Qing Dynasty actually had a stage of returning to the bright future.
The Westernization Movement and some reform policies also made the Qing Dynasty feel like the rise of a great power. This is true. Perhaps these reforms are all weird, but on the surface, they are still good.
Li Mengyang still has some research on this history. Because it can be seen that, from 1860 to 1890, the anti-Qing movement and other revolutionary movements were at a low point!
No one has caused a revolution because the Qing Dynasty did a good job in the past 30 years, and the whole country has really improved. It’s a pity that this improvement is really a reflection of the future. However, if we follow the historical development, even Li Mengyang will probably find someone who is like-minded with him during this period.
Yes, it’s just that they want to truly revolution. There are not many people who overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Even if the old Taoist Wu Feng created the so-called “Da Qing Dynasty Pill” and other things, it would be useless.
The Chinese always pay attention to pragmatism. If the current court still deals with it, then we will deal with it first...
However, these things are all big strategic considerations and have little to do with the young man in front of him. Perhaps this young man in history is nothing more than being born at the wrong time. He happened to be just the same age in this era, but he did not want to use it for the Qing Dynasty, and he overthrew the Qing Dynasty, but no one responded.
Li Mengyang just passed by his mind, and then asked again: "Comrade Yang Willie, what do you think of the empire's current strategy to Mexico, especially the Baja California attacking now?"
"..." To be honest, Yang Weili was really trembling at this time. He was originally a leisurely and leisurely person, but he was a little nervous when he saw the emperor. He was just a fool, the emperor, life and death... But unexpectedly, this emperor was really weird, just like the name he gave this country, it was really strange. His eyes kept looking at him. He looked at his heart, swaying!
But now, this problem is not small. Only ministers with high power can talk to the emperor, right?
Yang Weili was a little happy now, but she still held it back.
"Your Majesty! I believe Your Majesty has an answer to this question early in the morning."
"..." When Li Mengyang saw that Yang Willie had a smile on his face, he realized that this person was probably really a smart guy.
Yang Weili also understood it. So he continued: "Mexico is obviously divided into two countries, one is the rich land in the east, and the other is the Baja California in the west. The Mexicans didn't care much about this Baja California. Even the Americans didn't want this place back then, and it was really not worth much. However, this place was very important to our empire. As long as we take it down, the empire's territory will be expanded a lot. In short, there are many benefits. When it comes to war, Baja California should not be difficult. With the strength of our empire, it is easy to capture such a place. However, the difficult part is the Mexico region in the east..."
If this insight is put on a minister, it would be nothing, but the guy in front of me is a lieutenant and a cultural instructor, which is a bit... talented!
"Do you have any good suggestions for Mexico to the east?" Li Mengyang now had a lot of eyes for the young man in front of him.
"Well..." Yang Willie scratched his head.
"Say, it's okay." Li Mengyang saw that you were still holding me back...
"I really have no good idea." Yang Weili spread his hands.
"..." Li Mengyang was so angry!
However, Yang Willie said that there was no good reason for him.
"Your Majesty, the Mexican country in the east has a large population. Although I heard that most of them are mixed-race children, they seem to have a little bit of IQ and are stupid, but they are also humans. Some people are powerful, and the main force of the French army is still there. Although they defeated Juarez, the Mexican president, they cannot eliminate this person. This shows that some people are doing something behind their backs..."
"Well said!"
That's right, just like this, Li Mengyang could actually see that the French army had more than 30,000 people, and their weapons and equipment were much stronger than Mexico, but even so, they still couldn't completely eliminate the Juarez regime.
On the one hand, this is the support of the Mexicans for Juarez, and on the other hand, there must be someone who is acting in secret.
And it is obvious that the guy who was active must be the United States of America, and there will be no one else!
Juarez is now in El Paso. To be precise, it is a match between El Paso. It is across the River Grand, and its name is El Paso-del-norte. It is such a small place, but it is only across the river. The French army cannot take down such a small place. Isn’t it because they don’t want to have sex with the Americans?
After Yang Weili was encouraged, he naturally continued to talk.
"The current situation is that both sides of Mexico are very strong, although from a military perspective, I personally think that the troops under His Majesty are now, just the individuals who are now able to defeat the military forces of the French army and Juarez. We are not even afraid of the Americans behind Juarez. But what should we do after we fight? There are millions of Mexicans. Will they really support His Majesty? So, I think it's better to take Baja California, so that the goal will be achieved without getting into trouble."
"Not bad..." Li Mengyang affirmed Yang Willie in his heart, because this young man saw that problem, it was the 'ruling cost'!
It is still the same example of the American military in Iraq and Afghanistan in later generations. If the Mexicans do not accept you, it will be difficult to deal with, and this will cost a lot.
Moreover, Li Mengyang was particularly clear that the French army's final failure was also related to this. The Mexicans originally wanted to be independent, but the French came. How could the Mexicans support the French?
Then, what's the difference between the New Tang Empire in the United States?
But, however, is Li Mengyang not able to do anything at all?
He smiled and said to Willie Yang, "What if I have a way to take down the entire Mexico?"
"Ah?" Yang Willie was shocked at this moment, because he had considered the issue of striving Mexico countless times before. The best result was to occupy Baja California. If he really fought eastward, the consequences would probably be...
However, His Majesty the Emperor in front of him seems to be not joking! (To be continued...)
