Even Bai Nan was a little confused when he received the three decrees issued by the U.S. federal government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt this time, he was attending the activities of the Datang Internationalist Youth League and meeting with outstanding members of the National Youth League. At the meeting, Bai Nan still saw a lot of admirable and worthy of recognition of young talents, and there is no doubt that in the national environment of Datang, a series of outstanding young people are growing.

During the discussion, Bai Nan directly told the outstanding members of the National Youth League the news he received, and roughly described the situation, Bai Nan asked in an examination: "Can you talk about why the United States made such a decision based on what you have learned and thought, and imagine what kind of impact these decrees will have, and what should we do to deal with it for Datang." ”

As soon as Bai Nan asked, many people raised their hands, obviously if they could perform well in front of the president and be appreciated, the future would naturally be smooth.

Bai Nan casually ordered a young man, this young man named Wu Yankai, a doctoral student at the newly established Peking University in Datang, who also studied international relations and ********, and it was appropriate to answer this question. "The war itself was a war of self-defense but actually aggression waged by the United States in order to annex Canada. Coupled with differences in political orientation, religion, and propaganda, the United States and Canada are actually very opposed. So the United States is in the situation where it is today, defeating the British army on land, but not winning the heartfelt support of the Canadians, but the resistance movement that the Canadians continue to set off, making the United States constantly troubled. Although at this stage, Britain will not be able to break through the blockade tactics of the Americans, this is definitely not a situation that will continue forever. Britain's national strength is still stronger than that of the United States, and as for the mines on the St. Lawrence River, Britain has built a large number of minesweepers, and even if the Americans have shore guns, the British will not be afraid of losses at all about these small ships, and as long as they sweep away the mines and mobilize more powerful forces to attack, the United States may face greater difficulties. Therefore, the United States must completely suppress the Canadian resistance and concentrate its forces to unite the entire east coast of North America against the British counterattack. The Americans lost their navy, so absolute victory had to be ensured on land in order to maintain the gains. ”

At this time, someone asked: "Why can't the Americans just negotiate peace with Britain and take a step back on both sides?" Obviously, if the two sides continue to be entangled in this way, it will be a huge harm to both sides. ”

Wu Yankai smiled and said, "Because both sides can't retreat!" Britain has been losing to us since the seventies of the last century to the present day. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they said this.

Wu Junkai continued: "Britain can still have some excuse for losing to us, because we are the world's first power, with the largest population, the most extensive land, and the highest technology. However, losing to an independent former colony of theirs would have completely torn Britain's face to shreds. Other countries may decide that Britain has declined and become a second-rate country completely, and that Britain will face more challenges in the future. The French and Germans were interested in their colonies in West Africa, and other colonies might even lead to independence movements, which would be a real nightmare for Britain at that time. Britain must maintain its identity as a great power, so not only can this war not be just a peace talk, but it must also beat the Americans badly, make an example of the monkeys, and let the whole world see it. ”

At this time, a young man said in Wu Yankai's words: "Let me talk about the reason why the United States cannot retreat, the United States can be said to be one of the countries with the greatest sense of urgency in the world. Because they are neighbors with us, even though we have played a huge role in the development of the United States and have provided a lot of assistance. However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang's strong obsession with land possession has definitely scared many people, including Americans. The Americans chose to launch a war against Britain at this time, and there was an important reason why we had completed reunification and devoted ourselves to the development of the Chinese region. As long as they annex Canada and gain more population and land, at least in North America, they can form a greater deterrent effect on us, so that their national security can be more guaranteed. If we step back, the United States will continue to live in fear that it could be annexed by us at any time. ”

At this time, another bold boy asked Bai Nandao: "Mr. President, are we really planning to annex the United States?" ”

Bai Nan smiled but did not answer.

And a handsome young man replied at this time: "This is inevitable, there can only be one country on the North American continent, and that is our Datang." ”

Bai Nan glanced at the handsome young man and did not comment on his words. This young man he knew, it was Wang Jianyou, an alumnus of his daughter Bai Xin, and his father was also a governor.

In fact, most of the people here have such an understanding, but few people will say it directly, Wang Jianyou is sharp, and with his good looks, it still has a bit of impact.

Bai Nan changed the topic and said: "So, why do you think the three decrees of the US federal government are mainly cut to the southern states? ”

This time, the answers were varied, and many people spoke, expounding their views from different angles, involving many aspects, and the logic was also quite good.

This is actually a simple brainstorming, Bai Nan does not need to get any important suggestions and policies from outstanding young people, he actually wants to see how good these young people are. Obviously, they may not be particularly mature, but they already have quite good abilities and insights.

Speaking of ten people, when it was the turn of a young man named Guo Tong who wore glasses, he said: "The knife of the US federal government is mainly cut on the southern states, and the reason is also very good. The North is an industrial state, mainly providing all kinds of important materials needed for war, including weapons, ammunition and vehicles, etc., while the development of the United States has been quite uneven in recent years. The northern states are industrially developed, but the standard of living is not as good as that of the southern states, which have large plantations. Therefore, the federal government believes that the South is richer and should contribute more to the war, and at the same time, the North is still an important industrial area, and if it is cut down too much, it will affect the industrial manufacturing power of the United States. Moreover, there has been a shortage of labor in the northern states, and the initiative for the abolition of slavery has been raised over the years. Now that there is a war, more manpower is needed, and it is obvious that it is not possible to draw a large number of workers to maintain the industry of the North, so the 'surplus' agricultural population of the South is a good source of soldiers. The North has always been dissatisfied with the South, believing that the cash crops they produce have instead been used as a supporting tool for the Tang Dynasty, and have not better supported the development of the North industry, and the Americans have always had an industrial theory, they feel that there is no need to build so many plantations, and it is enough to grow enough grain, cotton, tobacco, etc. Most of the things grown on the plantations in the southern states of the United States are now exported and become the wealth of the plantation owners, and have nothing to do with the American state and the northern states. For these reasons, there has been a major divergence of interests between the northern and southern states. The northern states hope that a big government, with stronger industrial power, can compete with Datang products and make greater profits from dumping. And the plantation owners in the southern states hope that a small government will not manage too much, and they can freely choose the scope of business and make their own money, and they don't care about the life or death of the Yankees. As we all know, in the federal government of the United States, the political power of the northern states is dominant, so the three laws can be passed smoothly this time, and the north is using the national righteousness to suppress the southern states, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. “

Bai Nan couldn't help but nodded, Guo Tong's analysis was very accurate, and he asked again: "Then do you think the southern states will compromise with the federal government?" ”

Guo Tong shook his head and said: "I can't be sure of this, after all, the power in the United States is still concentrated in the hands of the federal government." U.S. states are not allowed to train their own troops, except for a small number of National Guards, which puts southern states at a natural disadvantage when facing the North. Moreover, the confrontation between the North and the South at this time is not beneficial to the United States as a whole, so it cannot be ruled out that the southern states endured this time for the sake of the overall interests of the United States. ”

Wang Jianyou immediately put forward the opposite opinion, he said: "As you just said, the planters in the south of the United States only care about their own interests, not about the problems of the United States as a whole, and this is also the most normal form of the entire capitalist society, so the southern planters will not do such a thing as harming themselves and benefiting others. At this time, the power of the federal government is pressed to Canada, what ability do they have to restrain the southern states? You don't need to be too intense, you just need to be disobedient. ”

Bai Nan's opinion on Wang Jianyou was also affirmed in his heart, the north used the means of inferiority, and the south would definitely not admit it like this. It would be nice to turn a blind eye to the federal government's decrees, but this will inevitably undermine the authority of the federal government and cause instability in the national politics of the United States. The federal government also does not have the ability to force the southern states to comply at this time, so the most this matter is to disgust each other and tear apart the relationship between the north and the south.

In fact, when Bai Nan heard the news about the three decrees, Bai Nan formed a general plan in his mind, how to strive for the best result for Datang in this situation. There will be no direct conflict between the North and the South of the United States, there will be discord. This is not enough for Bai Nan, so what Bai Nan has to do is to intensify this contradiction and thus reverse the development of things.

The young people just now did not analyze that in the war between the United States and Britain, Datang, a non-belligerent party, also had reasons why it could not retreat. The United States can resist Datang, which is Datang's strategic failure, so if the United States is strong, Datang will weaken the United States. (To be continued.) )
