"The United States is a federal country, and the states that make up the federation join voluntarily, and of course they have the freedom to withdraw. I searched through the U.S. Constitution and found no clause that states that federal states are not allowed to withdraw. Since we have the right to withdraw, then we should
Respect the choice of the people of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The U.S. government should also respect it. As a free and democratic government, this is a necessary virtue, but it is regrettable that we see that it is
We cannot understand the gross interference in freedom and the choices made by the US government that go against the fundamental principles of their founding.
Since the Confederate States of America has separated from the United States of America and has been widely recognized by the international community, it means that it is a truly sovereign country, and the actions of the United States of America can be regarded as aggression against a sovereign country. As
As a major country that advocates fairness and justice, the Chinese government is willing to provide all possible assistance to them in their fight against aggression at the invitation of the Confederate States of America, including directly sending troops to fight side by side with the people of the Confederate States of America." He is negotiating tariffs with the British government in London.
and extraterritorial issues, Chinese Foreign Minister Zhang Quan made a public statement on the war between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.
During four months of difficult negotiations, he and the delegation he led have reached agreements with most European countries, abolishing the extraterritorial rights these countries enjoy in China. As for the tariffs, they actually all originate here in the UK.
.China’s negotiated tariffs and the 50% tariff principle were both determined in the Treaty of Nanjing and the Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin. Other countries only enjoy equal treatment based on this standard. Therefore, to abolish these two articles, we must start from the root.
Initially, as long as these two provisions of the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing and the Sino-British Treaty of Tianjin are abrogated, there will basically be no need to talk about other countries, including France and Russia.
Of course, this is definitely not easy to talk about. There is not much market for British industrial products in China now. If there is no more tariff protection, this market will definitely be basically lost in the end. However, the British also know very well that in fact,
They will lose this market sooner or later. Because of the support of the People's Bank of China or Emperor Yang in terms of technology and even new machines, high-performance materials, and new processes, the quality of China's industrial products is now far better than that of Europe. Take cars as an example. Use China
The performance of gearboxes, bearings, and engine parts processed on modern high-precision machine tools are better than those of European countries. Even Volvo Cars, a subsidiary of the Swedish Young Group, is using key parts produced by China's Kirin Automobile.
The Kirin car, which is also manufactured using welding and stamping technology assembly lines, is far behind Daimler, the best car in Europe, in terms of quality and production cost. However, relying on the protection of tariff barriers, European cars
Only if the industry can survive, otherwise the entire automobile market would have been completely dominated by Kirin, General Motors and Volvo.
Therefore, in this case, the key principle of Zhang Quan's negotiations is not to abolish the tariff clauses in the Nanjing and Tianjin treaties, but to require the UK to also reduce the tariff to 5% under the principle of fairness. Instead of the current 100%
If not, China's tariff restrictions must be abolished. If China still refuses to do so, China will use government subsidies and substantial tax exemptions to significantly reduce the prices of China's currently lethal industrial products to impact the British market. For example,
It was said that each Kirin car, which currently sells for up to 250 pounds in the UK, would be exempted from export duties and other taxes to lower the price to 150 pounds. At that time, it included Wolseley, Rover, and Rochester.
Most of the UK's car factories will go bankrupt. If the UK agrees to abolish China's tariff restrictions, then this terrible situation will not happen. China's Kirin cars will still sell at a high price. As for the British car industry's exports to China, this is like a joke.
Well, no one cares about those cars even now in China.
This is Zhang Quan's biggest bargaining chip in European negotiations. The two sides are still bargaining. It is estimated that the British will eventually give in. After all, compared with the blow that Chinese industrial products may cause them, the blow caused by China's increased tariffs will be lighter.
Much more, and Britain was not qualified to use force at this time. The Boer War had already shown the world the decline of the British Empire.
His statement was tantamount to publicly telling the world that China would intervene in the American Civil War with force. Immediately afterwards, as allies in the Caribbean, Germany, Russia, and Spain also issued the same statement. The four countries wandering in the eastern waters of the United States
The coalition fleet officially announced that it would blockade all ports on the eastern coast of the United States on the grounds that the United States of America had invaded the Confederate States of America.
The poor U.S. economy had just gained a little breathing space when it was once again sent back to hell. At this time, a formal battle had begun on the border of Texas and Oklahoma. The goal of the U.S. military was simple.
Part of the force restrained the National Guards of Louisiana and Mississippi, and the vast majority of the main force guarded the border between Alabama and southern Georgia and Florida to prepare for possible Spanish attacks. At the same time, 300,000 troops continued to patrol the eastern coast.
Deploy defenses to prevent the coalition forces from landing again, and then storm Texas with 150,000 of the most elite troops, with the goal of capturing Dallas in one fell swoop.
At this time, Dallas was already the largest industrial base of the Young Consortium in the Americas, including the headquarters of General Motors and Monsanto. In the forest in the west, there was also Wolfsburg, where Umbrella's headquarters is located. It can be said that as long as Dallas is captured,
It's like controlling half of Texas.
But it is a pity that the U.S. military's attack here was met with a head-on blow, and all the teeth were knocked out.
On the north bank of the Red River, countless American soldiers were crying and swarming north, trying to escape the hell behind them. From time to time, there was an extremely strange roar in the sky, as if a meteor fell from the sky, and then instantly
A terrifying huge fireball exploded on the ground.
This huge is no longer a simple adjective. Every falling artillery shell swept almost everything within a range of more than 100 meters in an instant, whether it was trees or US soldiers, and even some rocks and other things were expanding.
It turned into powder under the fire and the shock wave of the explosion. It was like a demon from hell that completely destroyed the will of nearly 50,000 American troops who were preparing to cross the river. They had never heard of or even imagined that there was such a terrifying cannon. This was no longer the case.
The cannon is fired, this is the wrath of the gods.
In the opposite town of Gainesville, Major General Johnson, Commander-in-Chief of the Texas National Guard, leaned on his saber and looked contentedly at the four monsters standing on reinforced concrete emplacements in the distance pointing toward the sky.
Raytheon Company rushed to produce a secret weapon, a super-large mortar with a caliber of 500 millimeters. It was brought directly from the arsenal in Austin by train. This monster-level weapon can hit a one-ton warhead up to 15 kilometers.
In addition, if it is replaced by a 500 kilogram light projectile, it can hit 20 kilometers away. A total of 20 are cast, four are here, four are in Denison to the east, and the rest are all in Dallas.
He did not expect that this kind of giant cannon was so effective. Although the casualties caused to the federal army on the opposite side were actually not as good as those 155mm heavy howitzers, the blow to morale was too great. Hearing the sound of the ground cracking that day
With the sound of the explosion, hundreds of soldiers were wiped out in an instant, and the only word in the minds of the American soldiers was escape.
Just when the U.S. Army's frontal attack in Gainesville was defeated by the super mortar, two U.S. cavalry divisions bypassing the wasteland from the west and preparing to attack from the flank were also fleeing on the vast grassland. They did not
Encountering such a terrifying weapon as a giant mortar, they encountered a torrent of steel. General Motors is currently the main construction machinery manufacturer of the Panama Canal Company. Those workers who were armed to protect their happy lives put new products in the factory.
More than two hundred crawler bulldozers came out, and even bulletproof steel plates were installed on the cabs. These steel behemoths, which could reach a top speed of more than 50 kilometers, crushed the U.S. military unscrupulously on the open Texas grasslands.
The huge shovel in front of the cavalry is welded with a row of sharp saw teeth. No matter whether a person or a war horse encounters this thing, it will be a dead end.
Two hundred bulldozers were lined up in a row, sweeping across the battlefield like real tanks. The machine guns mounted on the vehicles kept spitting flames, and bullets roared into the bodies of the US cavalry one after another in front, and then the tracks of the bulldozers followed.
They crushed him into a pulp, and behind them were the corpses of countless people and horses, dyeing the grassland blood red.
"This is an age of steel, cavalry? It's just a joke! Speed away! The roaring chariot will crush everything in front of you!" Ye Feng, the former deputy division commander of the Zhongyong Army who was specially sent to help Johnson in the name of overseas Chinese, stood in a car
On the bulldozer, they waved their sabers and shouted triumphantly.
At this time, in the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, North Korea, His Majesty the Emperor was saying with regret to the U.S. Consul General in Seoul: "Your Excellency, Consul General, I am the emperor of a constitutional monarchy, not a monarch of a dictatorship.
I have no right to interfere with the decisions made by Congress. Since Congress has authorized the cabinet to use force to protect the interests of overseas Chinese in Texas, as the emperor, I can only choose to accept it. Even though I am a good friend of your country, I am very willing to see it.
When the American people enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life, it is impossible to interfere with the decisions of Congress for my personal feelings. Perhaps you should know more about the power of the monarch under the constitutional monarchy system."
