The whole world knows that in the Mexican-American War that broke out in 1846, the United States, as the victor, annexed 55% of Mexico's territory at one time!

"One day, Americans will pay the price for their greed!"

Charlotte's answer made Queen Mary Charlotte nod slightly.

"Yes, your highness, there will be a price to pay, but how?"

Turning her eyes to Queen Zhu of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Mary Charlotte continued.

"We all know that the war between Ming and the United States will break out in the near future! As an ally, Mexico will inevitably be involved in this war. What will Mexico gain after the war ends?"

Queen Mary Charlotte's question made Charlotte's eyebrows slightly raised, and in an instant, she understood what the other party meant.

"Do you mean to make those areas Youyang's fiefdom in the future?"

After a pause and looking at Queen Mary Charlotte, Queen Zhu asked back.

"If Mexico gets involved in this war, then those lands will definitely be recovered by Mexico!"

"Mexico simply doesn't have that capability!"

Queen Mary Charlotte simply shook her head.

"Even if the Ming Empire's army pinned down all the American troops, Mexico would not be able to retake those areas from the Americans."

It’s not that Queen Mary Charlotte looks down on herself, she is telling the truth!

How did Texas become independent?

Tens of thousands of Mexican troops were defeated by more than a thousand American farmers, and even the president was captured. The word "martial spirit" has never belonged to Mexicans.

Take advantage of the war between Ming Dynasty and the United States to regain lost territory... Go to sleep, you can dream about anything!

As Queen Mary Charlotte was well aware of the nature of Mexico. She wanted to keep the empire going, so she preferred to regain lost territory in a different way rather than signing a meaningless treaty.

"After the outbreak of a future war, Mexico will definitely stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty. But what role can Mexico play in the war? With Mexico's strength, it is already God's blessing that it does not drag down the Ming Empire. However, after the victory of the Ming Dynasty, in return, the land ceded by Mexico will inevitably be returned to Mexico. Mexico is almost getting something for nothing, Your Highness!"

Looking at Queen Zhu who seemed to be in deep thought, Mary Charlotte continued.

"Perhaps, we can look at the problem from a different angle. In the future, Mexico will remain neutral, and we will send our troops to the border to contain the Americans. As long as we do not declare war, the United States will inevitably need 100,000 or even more troops to defend us!"

He who knows himself is wise!

Mary Charlotte was very clear about Mexico's strength. Of course, the Ming Dynasty was also very clear about this. Emperor Zhu had even mentioned this when the General Staff was formulating a plan and mentioned Mexico's positioning.

"If Mexico remains neutral, it is equivalent to adding 10 divisions to our army. If Mexico joins us, we can deal with it with 20 divisions. But if Mexico joins us, our army must spend 50 divisions to protect it."

That’s right!

Mexico is the "Italy" of the Ming Dynasty. It is not as rich in martial virtues as the Ming Dynasty. It can even be described as "completely devoid of martial virtues". From Texas to the Mexican-American War, from the Mexican-American War to the French War, Mexico has proved this time and again.

"After the war, California and other places should be granted by His Majesty the Emperor to the Second Prince as his fiefdom. After marrying Sofia, California will merge with Mexico to become one country, and Mexico will naturally be ruled by two kings!"

It has to be said that as the queen, Mary Charlotte was more politically minded. What did she pay for her plan?

Title of Emperor of Mexico!

What did she get?

Not only did he gain a solid and reliable ally and save his daughter's throne, but he also "recovered" the lost territory.

This is simply a great thing that can bring huge profits! Who wouldn't want to do such a business with no investment?

And then what about the Ming Dynasty?

Ming Dynasty...The second prince of Ming Dynasty and his descendants will be the emperor of the Mexican Empire!

This is what Ming Dynasty gained!

"This woman is not simple!"

After hanging up the phone with Charlotte, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but praise Charlotte from Mexico.

"She is indeed extraordinary. Ten years ago, when France was about to withdraw its troops from Mexico, she returned to Europe alone and sought help from European countries. Although she was unsuccessful, few queens could do all this."

Indeed, few queens could do this, and if she had not been helped, she would have suffered a mental breakdown as happened in history, but Emperor Zhu had no doubt that if she were in Mexico, she might have died with her husband.

This woman is indeed a very unusual character.

"Will you agree?"

Eugenie asked, resting her head on Emperor Zhu's lap.

"There doesn't seem to be any reason for me to refuse."

In fact, in the past few years, Ming Dynasty’s future “planning” for North America has positioned the United States as weakened as possible. Not only North and South America, but also the western United States will be divided and occupied in the future.

The Ming Dynasty's positioning towards Mexico has always been contradictory. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty certainly does not want Mexico to regain its lost territory. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty needs Mexico to contain the United States. If it wants to use them, it must always offer benefits to buy them off.

However, it was really hard to give California and other places to Mexico, and supporting local independence was not the best option. After all, what Ming needed was a California that was influenced by Ming.

It is also for this reason that the Ming Dynasty has never made a final decision on the issues of Mexico and California.

Queen Mary Charlotte's suggestion made Emperor Zhu see another possibility - why should he give up California?

Not only does California not need to be ceded, but Mexico can also become part of the Ming Dynasty, no... part of China. Mexico now has only 10 million people, and California and other places only have a mere 1 or 2 million people. Even after ten years, the Ming Dynasty has a chance to sinicize the local areas. It might not be a better choice to sinicize California and Mexico through immigration.

At the same time, his son will become the emperor of Mexico. Of course, at that time, Mexico will be just... Mexico in name only!

What reason is there to refuse the Sinicized Mexico?

And...besides that, there seems to be an additional benefit...
