Chapter 1325 The reaction of expansion (first update, please subscribe)
Author: Xiaoyu’s Destiny
"...Ecuador will usher in real change and liberation, and freedom will truly come to this land..."
Ecuador's new government was established in time. An exiled university professor and several celebrities formed the interim government. Uchiz's communication vowed to everyone that the future Ecuador would be a free and fair country.
Although ambassadors from various countries are very suspicious that everything happening in this country is just a conspiracy planned by the Ming Dynasty, at least for now, it seems that the Ecuadorians are still governing the country there.
European newspapers barely mentioned the coup. Only the Washington Post in the United States published a news report saying that a dissident faction in the Ecuadorian army launched a coup the night before and overthrew the president.
The committee temporarily governs the country before holding national elections. Of course, this newspaper pointed out directly that the Uchis who controlled the temporary committee was a puppet, a puppet close to Ming Dynasty.
"The Ming Empire is adjusting their invasion methods of South American countries."
In the Presidential Palace in Washington, Secretary of State James Gillespie Bryan looked at President Benjamin Harrison and said,
"In the past, their invasions of Chile, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia were direct military invasions, but now? They use local people to launch military coups and then support puppet regimes, Mr. President."
As a Pan-Americanist, Bryan has always advocated that the United States should expand southward to prevent the expansion of the Ming Empire. During his tenure as Secretary of State, he once again reshaped the United States' foreign policy and tried his best to promote the United States' overseas economic expansion.
While paving the way, he also put forward policies and suggestions to challenge Ming's economic dominance in the Americas, especially to seize the market in South America. In fact, this is also the mainstream in the United States - to confront Ming.
"Now, compared to military occupation, the Ming Dynasty adopted a smarter way - they brought their way of life, culture and other aspects to those Latin American countries by building railways. In their "Voice of the Americas",
Not only did they create the illusion that the Ming Dynasty was civilized, but South American countries were barbaric, they even incited the local people every day. They seemed to be deliberately creating confrontation. What kind of confrontation were they creating?"
Looking at the silent president, Brian emphasized.
"It is the confrontation between the rulers and the people of South American countries. Although those warlords and politicians have controlled everything in South American countries for many years, the local people were used to all that in the past, but now, because of the instigation of the Ming Empire, they have made them believe
——Everything must be changed, and only Ming can help them change everything."
"Yes, they succeeded..."
Benjamin Harrison said after taking a cigar out of the cigar box, lighting it and taking a puff.
"The Ming Dynasty successfully incited dissatisfaction in people's hearts. Just as the newspaper said - in the past, people were full of fear of the Caudillo nobles who controlled power and wealth, but now... they have prepared weapons and are ready to
To overthrow this with weapons, Brian, in this case, is it possible for us to stop them?"
"this……"
Faced with the president's rhetorical question, Brian hesitated for a moment and then said.
"We may not be able to stop the Ming Dynasty in Ecuador, but Mr. President, we can make Colombia, Venezuela and the Central American Federation realize the threat the Ming Empire poses to them. We can at least stop the Ming Empire before they unify South America. If
If they are allowed to expand, we will soon have to face a reality - the reality of the Ming Dynasty unifying South America..."
The Secretary of State's suggestion made Benjamin Harrison think for a while, and then said.
"We do want to stop them, but how do we stop them?"
How to stop Daming?
This is the biggest problem. The incident in Ecuador not only made Americans feel powerless, but also confused the British. As the ambassador to the Ming Dynasty, Fedeli was stunned for a long time after learning the news.
said.
"How can it still be like this..."
Then he asked again.
"Are those guys really from Ecuador? They can't be from Ming Dynasty..."
The reason why he came up with such an idea is very simple, because the Boer War was not caused by a scandalous "expedition". In his opinion, the coup in Ecuador was probably directed and staged by the Ming Empire.
scene.
Of course, what the British Empire directed and staged was a failed "farce" and a political scandal.
And what about the Ming Empire?
What they directed and staged was a successful military coup.
People are so irritating!
How could the Ming Empire do this?
They can fight in different ways, and they can even occupy countries in different ways.
Are Chinese people really smarter than white people?
"Mr. Ambassador, judging from the information we have so far, those who participated in the coup are indeed local Ecuadorians. Most of their leaders have studied in the Ming Dynasty. We have reason to believe that they must have received the support of the Ming Empire.
…”
Major Anderson's answer made Fedeli sigh.
"So what? We have no evidence to prove it, and even if we did, so what?"
Fedeli glanced helplessly into the distance, and then said.
"It is impossible to change the status quo. Major, have you noticed that our understanding of this place is almost zero. Since we have no intelligence or information in this area, we are just facing all this blindly...
Why!"
With a long sigh, Fedeli sighed.
"Now I miss that guy Lawrence a little bit. Damn it, why did he go to sea and get caught in a storm and actually disappeared at sea? Damn it..."
"Do you believe?"
Major Anderson, the Royal Navy intelligence officer said.
"Mr. Ambassador, do you believe that Lawrence disappeared at sea? I highly doubt that someone from the Ming Dynasty killed him. You know, Lawrence's intelligence network was also destroyed, and about a dozen people were arrested..."
After a slight pause, Major Anderson said.
"More than a dozen people... If I remember correctly, there are at least fifty people in his intelligence network, which means..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ambassador Fedeli said excitedly.
"That is to say, there are still people lurking in Ming Dynasty, right? Is there any way for us to contact them, Major, we really need to know the trends in Ming Dynasty now!"
At this time, his voice sounded a little excited. He looked at the major in front of him and said.
"No matter what, we must get back in touch with them. Find them, and then rebuild this intelligence network. Only in this way can we win the upper hand in the future competition with Ming Dynasty. God can testify that we will fight against them all the time."
I don’t know anything about it. But those people must have penetrated into various areas of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be able to provide us with a lot of information. We must find them."
