Chapter 196 Will Mexico become the Three Kingdoms? The American Empire builds railways!

In fact, the reason why Li Mengyang looked for Geronimo was to use the power of the Indians.∑, when everyone was working together, Li Mengyang had heard of Geronimo's story. These Apaches used to live in Mexico.

You should know that the current situation is that the New Tang Empire in the United States can send troops to the eastern land of Mexico and defeat the French, Mexicans, and even the American forces. This is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the empire is not the locals, and they are not familiar with the local Inca mixed-race children and Spaniards.

Then, this requires a force familiar with the local situation, the Apaches of Geronimo, who just fit this point.

The original Mexico is the hometown of the Apache people. It is natural for them to go back. The most important thing is that they are still a force!

Mexico now has two forces, the French army and the Juarez regime. So isn’t it very interesting to add an Indian?

The Three Kingdoms Contend for Hegemony!

However, now, this guy Geronimo has become smarter. He is much better than before. He knows the importance of money. Alas~

Honest people will change...

So, is the price Li Mengyang paid too much? He wants to give the Indians the right to silver mine?

Just this matter, there are actually deviations in understanding.

How to say it?

What is the current situation?

The current situation is that Mexico's silver mine has nothing to do with Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American New Tang Empire!

Yes, there were no troops sent or wars. Is the silver mine surnamed Li?

In other words, what Li Mengyang is doing now is to use other people's things as gifts and borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Then Geronimo agreed, and this matter is normal. Geronimo is very clear that the thing in the world is that any return needs a price, so now we will first discuss the return. That is, how to share the spoils. As for the future, at least we will not suffer any losses when we really return to Mexico!

Look, look, this is to fool people... Li Mengyang's method is really high, really high!

However, in this way, the Indians would send troops, but the reality is just as Geronimo said. I'm afraid there won't be too many people, of course. With that silver mine as bait, it should be much stronger. However, Li Mengyang knew very well that the Indians were too scattered and their low combat power was mainly because of this. In addition to providing weapon support, we at least need to train.

Training, as long as the Indians' qualities are, I guess they won't be able to do anything for a few months, but I'm in a hurry to follow the power. Li Mengyang set a time for a maximum of half a year.

Yes, it would be too late to slap!

As for this six months... Li Mengyang has also planned that he will not stay on the front line for the time being, because now from the front line of Yuma Town to La Paz in Baja California, they will be in a defensive position, which means there is no war, so why are you still doing here?

Moreover, Li Mengyang also made some personnel deployments. The most important thing was to promote Yang Weili to major and let him be responsible for the defense of Youma Town. In fact, this appointment is very meaningful. As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Yang Weili should actually be responsible for the line of defense between the entire empire and Mexico!

The reason is very simple. The emperors of the empire have returned temporarily, so there is no need for other generals to stay here. The reason for this is mainly because this land cannot afford so many people yet and needs to be built.

That’s right, what is needed is the Production and Construction Corps!

The water diversion project in Mexico, the reclamation of La Paz, the land reclamation of Tijuana... Anyway, we need further transformation, so Baja California can station a large army, otherwise the cost will be too high.

There should be no need to worry about the security issues at the border now, because the French army was in great pain in the victory in Youma Town before. If they wanted to organize another attack, it would probably not be possible for a year or two. Moreover, the French army was on an expedition, so it was very difficult for them to replenish their troops.

So, it seems that Mexico's storm is temporarily suspended, but in fact, it is indeed undercurrents.

On the one hand, the empire is preparing to play tricks, while on the other hand, France is preparing to do a big fight. Who will win the end?

It will probably take at least half a year or a year later...

After 1864, some major events happened in countries around the world.

The Qing Dynasty in the East had basically completely wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement at this time. Before, because he had signed some unequal treaties with the Western powers in Tianji, the Qing government felt that it was... so ashamed!

You should know that before this, before these treaties of Tianji, the Qing Dynasty always believed that its status as a country in the upper country was beyond doubt and that it was not necessary to let others agree. However, those treaties signed with various countries were basically included, allowing the other party to recognize that they were a great country, such things.

To put it bluntly, this country's confidence is losing!

So, a Westernization Movement began. Li Mengyang knew very well that in the original history, the next thirty years would be a return to the Qing regime. Many firsts in Chinese history would appear during this period, but many of them were really weird, such as famous steel factories, arsenals, etc.

This is true in the East, so from the perspective of the world, it is particularly interesting, because in Europe, to be precise, it is also a great country, a country that was once very powerful. The Ottoman Turkish Empire, like the Qing Dynasty, was also undergoing reforms!

Li Mengyang is not familiar with this period of history. It should be said that in domestic historical research, the history of the huge Ottoman Empire was rarely involved, especially the various reforms made by the Ottoman Empire during this period.

Just like the Qing Dynasty, almost these two countries were exactly the same. They both experienced glory, then declined, and had no choice but to reform.

If we say that China is in decline, then we have the disadvantage of "not seeing". But the Ottomans. They are in Europe, and they can see the industrial revolution, but in the end they still decline. Their current name is, "The Sick Man of Europe"!

I saw it, my nicknames are the same.

There are too many specific details, but the reason why Li Mengyang can now pay attention to the Ottoman reform is, on the one hand, because of the previous Crimean War, and on the other hand, that the whole of Europe and even the United States are actually watching the reform of this huge empire!

Yes, everyone is not stupid, they are watching it. They are not watching the excitement. They want to learn experience, and maybe they can use it. In addition, this reform is quite interesting. In fact, the whole of Europe is still involved. For example, there are Jews and British in the Ottoman bank now... There are very few Turks.

Anyway, Li Mengyang knew the ending, but there was nothing wrong with him paying attention to this process. Anyway, he doesn't fight now. Of course, this guy still has a lot of things in his internal affairs.

Establish schools, develop industries, develop science and technology, develop weapons, develop...

There are many things. The reason why Li Mengyang cannot stay in Youma Town for a long time is also related to this, but now, an important thing is to be raised.

"Gentlemen! Our empire is about to build railways!"

This is Li Mengyang who is anxious that all the merchants in the empire hold a meeting, such as Lelan Stanford, Huang San, and of course, the big man from the Finance Minister, Bill, also came...

"this……"

"The Empire wants to build railways, what do you want to do with us?"

"Yes, yes!"

When the merchants heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to build a railway, they all started to talk about it.

Yes, although commercial business is still popular in the New Tang Empire in the United States, many major projects are done by the state, that is, His Majesty the Emperor is doing, such as steelmaking, such as agriculture... Merchants just sell or produce small ones, oh, by the way, it is called light industry.

Simply put, major projects are not open to private capital in these areas.

The railway matter is definitely a big deal. Many countries are practicing in the name of the country and in the name of the royal family, especially this thing, which is really related to sovereignty, because this thing occupies land.

However, the United States is very strange. Most of the railways in the United States are built by rich people, such as the Vanderbilt and the Forbes family... They all have money, of course, not the country has not built it, but there are also state-owned ones, but it seems that they are not very good.

In fact, this has something to do with the original government form of the United States. The original US government has relatively small rights, mainly because of compromise. So, how can the country have the strength to build railways? The Buchanan government still owes more than $60 million in foreign debt.

So, when the merchants heard that the emperor of the empire now also wanted to build railways, so there was a way to do it!

There is a chance, an absolute business opportunity!

Sure enough, Li Mengyang said: "Because the empire is in ruins and many places need money. The empire is still using foreign troops, and... Anyway, there are too many things and the finances are getting tighter. I naturally hope that you can fulfill your responsibilities at this time."

When the merchants heard this, they all shrunk their heads!

In fact, based on what happened in New York, the Revolutionary Army cracked down on these capitalists, but it was not bad later. The emperor Li Mengyang still protected his personal property, which gave merchants hope.

But, according to His Majesty the Emperor, is this the country no money? Then your country no money, do you want us to invest?

At this time, Li Mengyang looked at Lilan Stanford without a trace.

"Ahem..." Stanford coughed, "Your Majesty the Emperor is intimate with us! Comrades! I think we should have money to contribute money and strongly. But I still have to ask, is the railway construction of the Empire like the American Federation's policies this time?"

Federal Republic of America? What is that policy?

Simple, the railway is built and the nearby land belongs to the railway company!

What about the empire?

Li Mengyang laughed at that time, and only heard him say, "Of course... no!"

I was still breathing heavily in the middle! (To be continued...)
