"Yes, when necessary, we can give up the Mexican region or even the Central American region. In this case, it will be beneficial for us to concentrate our forces to resist the invasion of the United States and Canada. The narrowest place in the entire Central American region is the Isthmus of Panama, where the narrowest The place is less than 40 kilometers away, and the large corps cannot be moved at all. If we build a defense line in this area, I believe that we will be able to reach their attack. Of course, there is another prerequisite for relatives, and that is the navy It can provide comprehensive support for the army, and prevent the US and Canadian troops from landing in other places." Dougal said, looking at the map.

"Then, Marshal Davout, if I ask you to build a defense line on the Isthmus of Panama, are you sure you can resist the attack of the American and Canadian troops?" Xiao Jie asked.

"As long as all kinds of materials can be supplied, I have full confidence to withstand the attack of the American and Canadian troops." Davout said confidently. After all, the United States and Canada are now only relying on France to solve Russia, and they have nothing to do with each other. In real comparison, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Army and the Canadian Army is not at the same level as that of the French Army.

"Well, I assure you, as long as your legion resists Latin America, I will guarantee that the logistics department will give priority to supplying various military materials." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"In this way, I am completely relieved." Davout laughed. Although he is not young anymore, he is a person who can't be idle. Whenever there is a battle, he is very excited. If he is not allowed to go to the battlefield, then he must go to Xiao Jie to make trouble. Many people said that he was simply a man born for war.

Next, Xiao Jie issued a series of orders one after another, basically centering on the situation in Latin America. First of all, the Military Intelligence Agency has increased its investment in the United States and Canada, collecting all the economic, military and social information of the two countries, so that Xiao Jie and the others can fully understand the two countries, and in the future wars, they can also avoid these two countries. The wrong order was given due to the lack of relevant information. Second, Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Compeney is going to visit the United States to ease the tense situation between the two countries. Again, the navy began to move, and the Mediterranean Fleet began to join the patrols in the South Atlantic to ensure France's control of the South Atlantic. The Atlantic Fleet pays close attention to the dynamics of the U.S. and Canadian navies. Once the two sides go to war, they must ensure that they have the upper hand in the conflict. The Channel Fleet is also preparing for war. Once the war breaks out, they will participate in the decisive battle with the US and Canadian navies. In the end, it is necessary to transport the French 1st Army to Latin America within half a month. And began to reserve strategic materials to cope with the upcoming war.

Under Xiao Jie's order after order, the French war machine was once again operating at overload, especially naval warships, which frequently appeared in the Atlantic Ocean in order to strengthen France's influence in the Atlantic Ocean. The French 1st Army is also making preparations before departure. On Christmas Eve, the 2nd Infantry Division of the French 1st Army, as the vanguard, landed on the Yucatan Peninsula in eastern Mexico under the protection of the Mediterranean Fleet. forces in Latin America.

Then, Christmas came too. The war has little impact on the festival, because the French army has achieved great results on all fronts, and the people generally believe that victory is just around the corner. The rise in prices also stopped under Xiao Jie's compulsion, and was soon suppressed under the leadership of the Andresi Group, causing heavy losses to those unscrupulous businessmen who took the opportunity to hoard supplies.

On December 27, 1828, just after Christmas, Canadian Prime Minister Liverpool set off from Ottawa to visit the United States. In order to be able to implement their plan, Liverpool frequently contacted congressmen from both parties in Washington, preached the French threat theory, and put forward the slogan 'America should be the Americas of Americans', but he seemed to forget that he was not an American either. .

Through bribery and other means, Liverpool successfully won over a large number of MPs to support him. During the parliamentary meeting, these MPs advocated France's ambitions for the Americas, and the current territory of the United States has seriously restricted the development of the United States. Ask the United States to start a new round of expansion campaign. It's just that those arrogant congressmen are slightly changing Liverpool's slogan to become 'America is America for Americans'.

In this context, US President John Quincy Adams met with Liverpool at the White House on January 3. John Quincy Adams was the sixth president of the United States. He is the eldest son of the second president John Adams and the first lady Abigail Adams. He is the first president in American history to succeed his father. He became a well-known diplomat at the age of twenty. He had been sent to Europe for many years and was familiar with European affairs. After President Monroe came to power in 1817, Adams was appointed Secretary of State and served for eight years. He assisted in drafting the "Monroe Declaration", resolved many disputes with Britain, and purchased Florida from France. One of the most accomplished secretaries of state." Adams was elected president in 1825.

"Your Excellency Adams, it is a great pleasure to see you again. Please allow me to extend my sincerest greetings to you on behalf of His Majesty the King." Liverpool said first. Although he was so unhappy when he said this, in order for the plan to succeed, he still said it with a flattering expression. The United States was originally a British colony, but now he, the British Prime Minister, has to put down his body to please the other party, which makes him feel very ashamed. At the same time, he also vowed in his heart that after the success of the plan in the future, he must double the humiliation he suffered today.

"Your Excellency, please also convey my greetings to His Majesty William." Adams said with a smile. Adams was very happy to see the former prime minister of a great country bowing his knees in front of him. He participated in the War of Independence and hated Britain very much. However, in 1826, when Liverpool and others fled to Canada, he decisively let go of his hatred and provided them with great help. Facts have proved how correct his decision is! After that, the Liverpool government provided the United States with a large number of military and non-military technologies free of charge, which made the United States' technology and economy develop rapidly. The results brought about in the past two years are almost equivalent to the sum of the past few decades. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is definitely one of the few major countries in the world. This has saved the United States decades of time. Similarly, Adams knew very well that if the United States wants to rise, it must gain control of the entire American region, and now most of the Americas are under the control of France. According to the current speed of development, sooner or later there will be a war between the United States and France. For this reason, Adams agreed to Liverpool's request and secretly signed a treaty of alliance with Canada to jointly deal with France.

"Your Excellency Liverpool, I would like to remind you that the slogans you recently promoted in Washington have greatly affected the relationship between our country and France. The French ambassador has already protested against our country. Therefore, I have to remind you that in public , You should pay attention to your own words." Adams said with a straight face on purpose. In fact, he was very happy in his heart. Because, he is also a very ambitious person. They are thinking about expanding the territory of the United States all the time, and Liverpool's disturbance just happened to make public opinion develop in that direction. At that time, when he proposes to go to war with France, the resistance in Congress will be reduced a lot.

"Your Excellency, I don't think I'm wrong. I just expressed the aspirations of the American people, and even the entire American people. The evil France is exploiting the Americas, and the people are living in dire straits. Go save them." Liverpool said with a face full of justice. Of course he knew what Adams was thinking, but he didn't expose it.

"I think Your Excellency the Prime Minister has misunderstood that the American people love freedom and hate war," Adams said.

"Of course, I agree with that. But if the American people don't stand up and fight, then they will lose their freedom. Evil France has defeated all European powers~lightnovelpub.net~ Now only Russia is still alive, but It probably won’t last long. Once France integrates Europe, they will set foot in America again. By that time, France’s strength will not be able to compete with our two countries.” Liverpool persuaded.

"If there is such a day, the American people will definitely fight to the end." Adams said firmly.

"I fully believe in the determination of you and your people. However, I think we should have prepared earlier. According to our information, France has begun to send more troops to Latin America. So far, they have increased Two divisions were dispatched, and follow-up troops continued to land. The longer the delay, the worse it will be for us! I think I must preemptively strike, so as to succeed at a very small cost." Liverpool Continue to persuade.

"Sorry, I can't give you an answer now. I need to discuss it with other government officials before I can answer you. After all, this matter is too big. If something goes wrong, we will be in a very bad situation Great," Adams said. In fact, he did not pay enough attention to the increase of French troops in the Americas. On the one hand, he knew that France suffered heavy losses in Russia, and it was impossible to send too many troops to Latin America. On the other hand, he has great confidence in the US military, and believes that since they were able to defeat the mighty Britain decades ago, they will also be able to defeat France decades later.
