[Chapter 1127 Prepare for a Rainy Day]

. “This country is really rich. They took out 60 million francs in one go.”

Gao Yingfeng was speechless.

“The purchase of the Louisian region for 60 million francs is definitely worthwhile for the United States. This is equivalent to doubling the land area of the United States.” A general said.

Zhu Sansi said: “The southern part of North America has always been relatively wealthy, but it is only wealthy. The United States is still very weak and has not established a strong enough army. The task of the Eastern Military Region now is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize more land. Waiting for an opportunity to destroy it.”

Gao Yingfeng said loudly: “Commander, the soldiers are waiting eagerly. As long as the order is given, Canada will belong to the empire.”

Zhu Sansi nodded, “Start preparing for war from now on. Attack Canada in five days.

“Yes, Commander!

“

Ye Qingyun hung up the phone with a smile on his face. The person who called him was the Emperor Xiao Ming.

After he was transferred to the commander of the Southwest Army, he finally received his first mission, commanding his troops to move south to occupy the French East Indochina region.

At present, only East Indochina in Southeast Asia is still a European colony, and all other regions have been taken over by the empire and become its overseas colonies.

Because of this, East Indochina looks very unpleasant in the empire’s territory. Now, this area labeled as a French colony is about to change its name.

After being excited, Ye Qingyun immediately summoned his generals to make arrangements for the attack on East Indochina.

In November of the seventh year of the imperial calendar, Ye Qingyun led the 40,000-strong Southwest Army southward. Almost at the same time, Zhu Sansi launched an attack on the French colony of Canada.

After the Battle of India, the French power in East Indochina was already very weak. The Southwest Army successively conquered Annan, Laos, and the Indochina Peninsula where Cambodia is located, becoming a force that replaced France in this region.

Zhu Sansi’s attack was also surprisingly smooth. After setting off from Alaska, Zhu Sansi’s army encountered very weak resistance. Most of the French troops were transferred back to the country because of the civil war.

This created very favorable conditions for Zhu Sansi.

When the news of the victory came, the empire’s newspapers were abuzz, and the entire page was filled with news about Canada and Indochina.

And some savvy businessmen can immediately plan to bring their products into these areas.

Royal study room.

Xiao Ming marked the Indochina Peninsula and Canada on the map. For him, the Indochina Peninsula and Canada were his possessions after the War of India.

He was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow the empire to obtain these two huge colonies at a small price.

The French Civil War is an opportunity for the empire, and Mi Zhu’s return confirms the current bad situation in France. They cannot take care of these two colonies at all.

“Your Majesty, this is another victory for the empire. Canada has been occupied, and the territory of the empire has expanded.” Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, but he thought more than Qian Dafu. He said: “The territory is big, but how to control these colonies is the most troublesome at present. Many colonies are currently too far away from the empire. “

I’m afraid these colonies will be in chaos in a few years.”

“What does the emperor mean that these colonies will become independent from the empire in the same way that the United States became independent?” Qian Dafu understood Xiao Ming’s thoughts best.

“Yes, after all, a living example of America is right in front of you.”

Xiao Ming’s eyes were deep. Contemporary experience told him that all the colonists of the old empires had become independent. With the progress of human civilization, the upsurge of national independence will inevitably The rise in the world is an inevitable development trend in history.

Psychologically he has accepted this, but emotionally he doesn’t want to accept it.

Qian Dafu sighed slightly and said: “The emperor’s words are very true. The term colonial aristocracy has been spread in the empire. The people of the empire who immigrated to the colonies became the first batch of beneficiaries of the colony, and their descendants will all Benefiting from the colonies, in the long run, these immigrant people of the empire will undoubtedly only regard the interests of the colonies as their highest interests. Once there is a conflict between the colonies and the mainland of the empire, they will inevitably choose to side with the colonies. After all, they have no interest in the mainland of the empire. Why worry?”

Xiao Ming laughed a few times and said, “You know a lot.”

“The emperor is ridiculous, this old slave is just talking nonsense.” Qian Dafu pretended to be confused again.

“You are right. From the time I decided to immigrate, I knew that sooner or later I would face this problem. So these days I have been thinking about how to prevent these colonies from becoming independent from the United Kingdom like the United States, and the two become enemies.”

“So. “Say, the emperor already has a solution?” Qian Dafu asked.

“There is no way.” Xiao Ming was a little depressed, “But I can leave a royal mark on these colonies and lay the foundation for them to deal with the common enemy in the future.”

After pondering for a while, he said: “I am going to hand over these colonies to To my sons.”

Qian Dafu was surprised when he heard this, “Is the emperor planning to restart the enfeoffment system?”

Xiao Ming shook his head, “Yes, no, no, this colony needs to be managed by a governor. In this case, it is better to let my sons be the first governors, and whether they can be hereditary governors in the future depends on their own abilities. “

Qian Dafu understands, Xiao Ming means that since the birth of colonial nobles is inevitable, it is better. Let the princes become the largest nobles in the colony.

In this way, even if the colony becomes independent in the future, the princes may become the ones in charge of the country. Even worse, they will have a decisive influence on the country, which is better than if the colony becomes independent and becomes a country full of malicious intentions towards the empire. .

Moreover, if the princes live in the colonies, the colonial memory of the empire will not disappear. After all, the cultural gene of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan has been rooted in their hearts.

They and their descendants will always miss the once huge empire, and will even work hard to restore the empire’s territory.

“Your Majesty is really working hard. I really hope that your Majesty will live forever. In this way, the empire will be prosperous for thousands of generations.” Qian Dafu said with red eyes.

Xiao Ming patted Qian Dafu on the shoulder and said: “It all depends on God’s will. Maybe the empire will fall apart in the future, but as long as I am still alive, we will work hard to plan for the long-term development of the empire.”

Qian Dafu clicked .

Nodding, “If that’s the case, I think it’s feasible for the princes to go to important colonies.”
