Chapter 455 Spanish-American War (2)

July 1876, Panama, the American Empire.

"Comrades! We must train our troops hard! We must practice our troops well! We firmly support the wise decision of the great emperor His Majesty Clint Lee I!"

"Practice your skills! Fight bravely! Fight firmly against the Spanish invaders to the end!"

"The great emperor, His Majesty Clint Li I, teaches us! All reactionaries are paper tigers! European powers represented by Spain are even more paper tigers among paper tigers!"

Panama is naturally an important commercial port. It connects the East and the West of the world. It can be said to be an extremely busy place. But now, a place has been drawn here, and nothing else is to train troops!

Obviously, this is what Emperor** specializes in training against the Spanish, that is, it is preparing for war, but...

Why in Panama?

How great is it to be in Florida?

Generally speaking, it is indeed better to be in Florida because that place is close to Cuba, but our Emperor, Li Mengyang, chose this training location in Panama, so this matter...

"Comrade Commander! Why do you think our Emperor wants us to train here?"

"What do you care about so much? The great Emperor, our soldiers will just execute any orders he has! He must be wise! It must be correct!"

“all-hail-lee!”

Of course, this question and answer is more common among the emperors. However, a little special thing is that this company commander is not an ordinary person.

Arthur MacArthur!

Yes. This former youngest colonel in the United States of America, he is now a company commander in the American Emperor!

Why did he join the Emperor? Isn’t he very much in love with the United States of America?

That's right. He is still an absolute patriot now, and it's absolutely unambiguous, but now he is a patriot of the American Empire!

Simply put, the United States is gone. Now there is only a small part of the remnants left, either President Andrew Johnson, or some of the former senators of the United States. They ran to Canada to form an exiled government, so it can be said that it is gone. And this United States is gone. But the empire is here!

The one who represents the righteousness of America now is the empire, and Arthur MacArthur has seen the various American empires, such as technology, the super warship, and the strong military strength. He has long experienced this, and now it is still under large-scale and ever-changing construction. The entire country and society are constantly moving forward, and all of this has made MacArthur forget the United States.

When a good bird chooses trees to live on, MacArthur has the flame of serving the country and has great ambitions. How could he let himself live such a mediocre life?

How could the youngest colonel of the United States die of old age in the country?

He is still so young! He is only 31 years old this year!

So, he was originally working to transform. Now that the transformation is done, we absolutely support the American Empire and absolutely support the American Empire Emperor.

Then, you used to be a colonel?

Let's give it a try!

You really want to say this test. This guy MacArthur is really not a blowjob. He is very informative.

What is the lack of empires today? What is the most lacking is talent.

You are the only one, be a company commander!

And this time I am going to Cuba to deal with the Spaniards. Didn’t this guy Li Mengyang take advantage of the remnants of the United States before? Now, he wants to take advantage of the former surrendered soldiers and generals of the United States!

Why do you need this?

It's simple. Now I have represented the righteousness and are justified. So, you guys who used to oppose me, can you give me a letter of fame?

It's really a letter of fame. This time, Li Mengyang directly called the general, Joseph Hook, you can be the general in charge of the war in the expedition to Spain!

Joseph Hook, I surrendered before and have always performed well, but in fact, I am over 60 years old this year and I am already retired, but now I am back.

So, Li Mengyang’s meaning is very obvious. You old and young men gave a letter of confession. This matter is being watched by the whole United States!

Originally, many people recommended Robert Lee to choose the commander because he was also considered a young man, and his daughter is now the imperial concubine, so she is naturally more reliable than Joseph Hook, who came here, but Robert Lee doesn't want to fight anymore, he wants to teach.

I once thought about letting him go to West Point Military Academy and go back to be the principal, but Robert Lee tactfully refused. He chose the University of Washington, and he understood his meaning, that is, stay away from war.

This God of War level figure might even want to make some repentance...

Li Mengyang couldn't force his father-in-law, so no matter how he looked, he was Joseph Hook, but it was just the question asked by the soldier.

Why train troops in Panama?

MacArthur actually didn't know about this question!

As for MacArthur's level, of course he could not know the specific reason, but in fact, this reason is very simple, that is, Li Mengyang hopes that the whole world knows that he has to deal with the Spanish!

Yes, this is the only reason, because compared to Florida, Panama's most advantageous position is its status. This is a maritime transportation hub. As far as news is concerned, of course, it is easier to transmit to the international community.

To put it bluntly, it is easy to spread to Europe!

In other words, Li Mengyang wants to teach the Spanish a lesson openly this time!

So, is this goal achieved?

"His Majesty Alfonso XII! Regarding the incidents that your country has provoked in America, our Third French Republic said that this matter should be made small..."

"His Majesty Alfonso XII! It is difficult for the American Empire to stand by and watch what happened in Cuba. Now it is accidentally injured and sunk by your country because of a evacuation ship. This is indeed a tragedy. But if the tragedy is expanded, wouldn't it be even worse?..."

When the American Empire and Spain were about to be bullied, European countries naturally began to persuade them.

At the beginning, of course, Britain and France were persuading it, mainly the president and the prime minister. Because of the Cuban incident, it had a greater impact on both countries.

You know, although Britain and France did not have much trade with Cuba, a large part of their share of trading with the American Empire would have to go to Panama, and this place is a shortcut to the East, and if it starts in the Caribbean.

If the American Empire fights with Spain in Cuba, the Caribbean will naturally not be safe. Britain and France will suffer direct losses!

This kind of persuasion is also written by the head of state, which is quite important, but you are not the royal family after all.

By the way, French President McMahon was considered aristocrat before, but after all, the French Republic was republic, and now British Prime Minister Gladstone is not a royal family.

So, the stones sank to the sea!

Then, since that's the case, let the royal family come forward!

"After a tragedy, we should make up for it, rather than make the crack bigger!" Queen Victoria of England spoke. But, however, her tone was more...

In fact, it’s not that Queen Victoria doesn’t want to be more tactful, but because King Alfonso XII, compared with Victoria, he is simply a baby. Alfonso XII is not 20 years old now, so the queen cannot say anything soft.

The Queen of England has come out, and the royal families from all over Europe have come out to persuade them to fight, and even the German emperor has come out to shout. In fact, William I should shut up at this time. He was causing trouble in Spain before.

But the European royal family advised me, most of them were similar to Queen Victoria, just like an elder who taught the younger generation. By the way, the same was true. After all, Alfonso Twelve was too-tempting.

But in this way, how could Alfonso XII listen to it?

"For the sinking of the Light of Peace, I, Alfonso XII, expressed my condolences to the victims... But Cuba is an integral part of my Spanish Empire!..."

Alfonso XII had a tough attitude!

Later, it was his mother, Isabella II, who could not persuade him. Anyway, we decided and would never give in!

When things develop here, public opinion in Europe will be very unfavorable to Spain.

First, you were originally colonists, and Cuba wanted independence, so this should be supported!

There are actually very many Virgin Mary in Europe. When Cespedes was in Europe, he was in exile, but he also received support from many people.

Second, you, Alfonso XII, just mourn? That's human life!

Obviously, everyone thinks that you, the little emperor, do not admit your mistake.

Third, that American Empire is very powerful. We advised you before, to be good for you boy!

Yes, this is the European version of Dog Bite Lu Dongbin, it doesn’t recognize the good people’s hearts.

So, major European news agencies, Reuters and AFP, began to scold Alfonso XII, and condemn Spain for being too inauthentic.

When these messages came from the telegram, Li Mengyang of course laughed. His goal was achieved!

Look, this kid insists on fighting. My American Empire is quite restrained. If something happens in the future, we will not be responsible...

This guy Li Mengyang has really put a lot of effort into getting all the conditions for starting a war and turning himself into an absolutely just side.

In fact, there is nothing to do about this. After all, Cuba is the third country, not the American Empire itself. Even if it has Monroeism, this thing is just a sentence, which is not much different from wiping the butt paper. You can't beat others just because of this sentence, right?

After such a big round of work, you really don’t know, the effect is good!

So, let's start!

So, in August 1876, another naval battle was about to take place in the Florida Strait... (To be continued)

ps: Thank you for your support! Thank you for the black car!

Well, a very interesting news recently, it was that the US imperialists had done something, everyone remembers Bitcoin. Yes, it wasn't possible before, but it turned out that the US imperialists picked it up, and this time it was the official, and the official wanted to turn this thing into a commodity for trading. Hahaha, it was not clear, the Japanese wanted to play, the Americans said no, I will kill you. As a result, they started playing, and this thing, hehehehe, who was the first to take over? Baodao! Baodao's second largest retailer has announced that he accepted Bitcoin, hahaha... I didn't laugh to death, really, just two days ago, Baodao's tax reform failed, it was really that the certificate tax, so... the black car dares to predict, you can see the unity in your lifetime, really.
Chapter completed!
