this age

Due to the extreme inconvenience of transportation, the Summit of the Americas, a rare gathering, lasts for half a month. It allows the heads of state to fully exchange opinions and still have time and energy to appreciate Brazil's unique South American customs.

The first half of the agenda of the summit went very smoothly. Brazil, the nominal sovereign country, made full preparations for the meeting. The garrison of the Tang Empire also participated in the security, and the security measures were quite strict.

in discussion

The heads of state in South America unanimously agreed to sign the Treaty of Sao Paulo, which represents the South American Unified Market. However, they had slight differences on the specific terms and needed to be negotiated privately.

The heads of state agreed to establish the Secretariat of the Organization of American Cooperation in Panama City. The establishment of this international organization means that the Organization of American Cooperation has a permanent institution.

This undoubtedly establishes a solid foundation for the next step of promoting the Organization of American Cooperation and is a good start.

The first half of the summit went quite smoothly. After all, 6 of the 8 countries in South America were dealt with by the Tang Empire, and only Venezuela and Chile managed to escape.

The lessons of the three South American countries that were severely beaten today are not far away. Ecuador was directly destroyed, Peru and Bolivia were brutally dismembered, and were tightly bound by various post-war treaties, becoming semi-colonies of the Tang Empire.

With clear examples in front of us, who else dares to dissent?

Behind the spring breeze smile of His Royal Highness Tang Li Qian, the Imperial Crown Prince, is the imperial army armed to the teeth, staring with eager eyes. This invisibly puts huge pressure on the heads of countries, letting them know what choice to make!

In the second half of the meeting, a spoiler appeared...

The only noise at the meeting came from Canada, whose Prime Minister George Stanley strongly opposed the establishment of this inter-American international organization.

Because this American international organization excludes world powers such as Britain and France, it is worried that new political barriers and distrust will be formed.

In fact, this is just British people jumping up and down to cause trouble.

The Tang Imperial government had already anticipated this situation and formulated appropriate countermeasures.

July 9, 1874

As the two sovereign states leading the Summit of the Americas, Datang and Brazil announced;

From now on, the heads of 11 countries will hold closed-door discussions on agenda arrangements related to the establishment of the Organization of American Cooperation. The only one excluded is Canada.

The reason is that Canada is not a sovereign and independent country, but a colony subordinate to the United Kingdom, and does not itself qualify as a national subject.

Therefore, you can participate in the general debate of the Summit of the Americas and informal diplomatic activities, but you cannot participate in core agendas such as the agenda setting of the Organization of American Cooperation.

In a word, just go and have fun by yourself!

When this move was used, the Canadians were dumbfounded, and then became furious.

But nothing

The heads of state have held a closed-door meeting at the Brazilian Palace. They could not find anyone to protest. When they found relevant participants from Datang and Brazil, they could only say, "I understand, we need to report, but we have no right to object to high-level decisions."

Among the 11 countries participating in the closed-door talks, the Tang Empire had troops stationed in 7 of them, including Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru and the United States of America. Only the Confederate States of America, Chile and Venezuela

There is no garrison, but it has absolute political influence.

In this case

The closed-door talks quickly reached a high degree of consensus. The heads of the eleven American countries jointly agreed on the overall political agenda, agreed to work hard to promote the establishment of the Organization of American Cooperation, and committed to creating conditions for the establishment of this international political organization as much as possible.

It is expected that three years later, from June to September 1877, preparations will be made to hold the first OAS summit no later than September 1 to formally establish this international organization.

The countries agreed that the Tang Empire would serve as the sole permanent member of the Organization of American Cooperation, and that the other two non-permanent members would be rotated by each country to form the Supreme Council of the Organization of American Cooperation.

The permanent members have one veto power, while the non-permanent members have no veto power. Member states have the right to make suggestions but not decision-making. Relevant major policy decisions require the approval of 2/3 of the member states before they can be implemented.

Countries agree that the Supreme Council of the Organization of American Cooperation shall have economic, military, cultural, health and education, poverty alleviation and disaster reduction, and trade committees, which shall be filled by competition among member states.

Countries agreed to establish the arbitration institution of the Organization of American Cooperation, the "International Court of Justice of Panama", agreed to establish the policy Bank of the Americas, agreed to establish the Inter-American Postal Union, and agreed to work towards the Inter-American Unified Market and Customs Union.

As the founding members of the organization, these eleven American countries will have priority in enjoying the convenience of the unified market in the Americas, enjoy common security guarantees, and negotiate and sign non-infringement border treaties among themselves to eliminate the biggest disputes.

This is also the greatest good news released by the Tang Empire, releasing enough goodwill.

Finally, countries with vast territories like Brazil can feel relieved, countries like Chile that are on the Pacific Ocean can also feel relieved, and Venezuela, the only untouched old land of the Inca Empire, can finally have a good night's sleep without fear.

.

After receiving such great benefits, it will be more psychologically balanced if you make some appropriate concessions.

Sometimes people's desires are so simple. Compared with the fear of living under the shadow of war every day, facing the terrible future of the country being dismembered and the people being enslaved, countless bloody examples are before our eyes.

South American countries made some economic and military concessions in exchange for the Tang Empire's promise not to provoke border disputes. It was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.

actually

Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty has made an important decision. In the future, except for Cuba and Puerto Rico, there will be no colonial expansion in the Americas. All countries have begun to live a peaceful and stable life in harmony.

After all, the territory of the empire is large enough, and the food is too full. You can't just catch one of them and kill it.

Take Spain for example. The colonies that originally belonged to Spain were almost wiped out by the Tang Empire. Is it more than just the word "miserable"?

As for why Cuba and Puerto Rico are excluded, the reason is simple. These two regions are not signatories of the Treaty of Sao Paulo, nor are they founding members of the Organization for American Cooperation. How can they enjoy the right not to be invaded?

Sometimes, whether you are happy or not comes out when you compare it with others.

Compared with Central American islands such as Cuba and Puerto Rico, whose future fate is uncertain, South American countries say they are quite satisfied, after all, their security is guaranteed.

Only after all the dust settled did Canada, filled with resentment, re-engage in the diplomatic activities of the summit.

Just look at the black face of Canadian Prime Minister George Stanley throughout the whole process, and you can know how angry, aggrieved and helpless he is.

Some of the following agendas were just courtesy visits, diplomatic activities to deepen relations, etc. There were no substantive issues to discuss. Everyone was just "hahaha" bragging.

In the last two or three days left, many heads of state have already arranged to visit the surrounding areas. There are not enough people to gather together, and everything that needs to be said has been said. Why should we hold a Laoshizi meeting?

Although Canada had the big tree of Britain at its back, it did not dare to completely offend the Tang Empire, and could only keep its anger in its heart.

After all, the Tang Empire had heavy troops stationed in the United States of America and in the border city of Detroit. With just one charge, they could cross the border and enter Canada.

Although Canada is extremely large, more than 90% of the population lives in cities around the Great Lakes. This small area only accounts for 4.5% of the total area of ​​Canada, but it is home to the vast majority of the population.

It really turned the tables. With Canada's little army power, it couldn't deal with the Tang Empire.

The British Royal Navy is indeed powerful, but warships cannot reach land. As for the quality of the British Army, everyone knows in their hearts that it is only a second-rate European army.

The British army suffered repeated defeats in Burma, Afghanistan, and South Africa in East Asia, and its overall combat effectiveness was average, far less powerful than the German, French, and Russian armies.

In a splendid palace

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tang Li Qian laughed happily and was very satisfied with the achievements of the Sao Paulo Summit. This is a rich political qualification!

"Hahahaha...Father's clever plan is really effective and admirable. Especially the wonderful move of excluding Canada will probably make the British people angry to death."

"What His Highness said is absolutely true. The agenda before the summit can be implemented one by one. Fortunately, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has the foresight. Otherwise, if Canada is in trouble, it will really be a big trouble." Prime Minister Dong Jie still felt frightened when he thought of the scene in the venue.

shook his head.

At that time, Canadian Prime Minister George Stanley had a very strong reaction. He almost pointed his nose and cursed, "The Tang Empire used force to oppress the weak and tried to build America into its own backyard, breaking away from the normal international order..." This series of big events

hat.

before the summit

The British did not expect that the Tang Empire would be so powerful in promoting the establishment of the Organization of American Cooperation, and thought it was still a matter of specific matters such as the Unified Market of South America and the Unified Customs Union.

London has no specific response strategy. It just lets the Canadians try their best to disrupt specific matters and agenda arrangements.

No matter what agenda the Tang Empire proposed, they raised their hands in the audience and said "I object", and then "boop boop" the reasons for their power. This is probably what it means.

Unexpectedly, the Tang Empire was so ambitious that it tried to unify the entire North, South, and Central America, and then twisted them into a single rope through international organizations to create a weatherproof alliance of countries, even excluding the United Kingdom.

The Tang Empire could see the huge benefits contained in it, and naturally the United Kingdom could also see it.

If the UK can become the leading country, it will naturally strongly support it. If it cannot, it must strongly oppose it from the perspective of international strategy and its own interests.

However, due to insufficient prediction, the reaction was already too late.

Canada was really given a thumbs-down this time, and just as it was about to show off its power, Canada was excluded from being a founding nation on the grounds that it was not a fully sovereign and independent country.

They couldn't even enter the venue, and there was no way they could cause trouble.

Damn it, can you still bully others?

Eliminating interference, the entire summit followed the established agenda and achieved many historic achievements, such as the signing of the Treaty of Sao Paulo, a basic document, which provided the conditions for the establishment of a unified market in South America.

Subsequently, a series of blockbuster inter-governmental cooperation treaties were signed, involving politics, economy, military, cultural exchanges, infrastructure and commerce, and a new round of in-depth cooperation is about to begin.

It is on the basis of a series of government cooperation that the Tang Empire is expected to extend the 8,988-kilometer Pacific Railway from Panama southward into Colombia.

It goes south to Zhongzhou Province (formerly Ecuador) and Fuyuan Province (ceded by Peru), and continues south through Peru to connect with the Central Railway under construction in the Andis Governor's Palace, forming a century railway running from north to south throughout the Americas.

There is no doubt that this will also become the longest railway artery in the world, demonstrating the miracle of human construction.

The total length from the Central Railway of the Andean Viceroyalty to the Circum-Atlantic Railway is expected to exceed 16,500 kilometers, forming an American Continental Bridge, passing through only one country, Peru.

From this point of view alone, it is expected to become the eighth wonder of the world.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Tang-Li Qian is not a newbie in the political arena. Every time his father goes on a tour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will stay in the palace to handle some less urgent government affairs.

But for such an important diplomatic summit, it was the first time for His Royal Highness to take on important responsibilities. Therefore, after making decisive progress, he seemed particularly excited, rubbing his hands and saying;

"Fortunately, I have been appointed by my father. I am so lucky to have this mission! The diplomatic results have exceeded expectations. Especially, it is confirmed that a formal weekly summit will be held in Panama in three years. Although there are objections from the United States and the South, the breakthrough has still been achieved.

After all the obstacles are confirmed, my father will definitely be happy."

In the heart of Crown Prince Tang Li Qian, his father is heaven. His father's every frown and smile always affects his nerves, and a gentle word of encouragement is enough to make his highness happy for several days.

Prime Minister Dong Jie could not hide his good mood at this moment, and nodded with a smile: "As His Highness said, I secretly think that this is the lingering effect, or lagging effect, brought about by the second war in South America.

Whether it is the United States of America or the Confederate States of America, both are politically dominated by British immigrants. They are not easy to talk to, and they are more or less resistant to the empire.

But they must be able to really feel the changes in the empire's foreign policy.

This time, I wisely did not jump out to oppose, nor did I chirp excessively. This is the direct effect of force to deter.

According to Wei Chen's humble opinion

The United States of America, in particular, must vigorously support its own political power and support our people in taking power, in order to tie this country more deeply to the chariot of empire.

The Confederate States of America could only "boil frogs in warm water" through immigration. After all, the friendship forged by the blood of the two countries is unbreakable, and the Southerners also know how to be grateful.

Without the intervention of the empire, the current southern regime would not exist.

With this huge favor, the Empire will continue to dominate the Confederate States of America for a hundred years, and we have full confidence in this.

Due to the high fertility rate of Chinese families, the proportion of the population in the Confederate States of America has been increasing year by year. Coupled with the continuous influx of immigrants, it can offset the influence of European immigrants.

In the final analysis, North America is still our home base, and North American affairs are of fundamental concern, and we cannot relax for a moment.

Being able to establish the Organization for American Cooperation is equivalent to tying them together firmly through the system. It has an extra layer of restraint and everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope.

If it violates regional security and stability, then the Tang Empire, as a permanent member of the Security Council, has the right...and sufficient reason to intervene in the domestic situation of these American countries, which is very important."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, what you said makes sense. I have learned from it." His Royal Highness Tang Li Qian, the Crown Prince, behaved very gently and raised his hand in salute.

Commander Dong Jie hurriedly turned aside, expressing that he did not dare to accept this salute, and responded: "Your Highness is a gentleman, I beg you to forgive me for not being able to bear it. Please forgive me."

"You're welcome, Prime Minister."

"Don't dare take it!"

The two of them said a few words of humility before giving up, and then couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a crown prince and a prince, he is also a minister. His status is similar to that of Prime Minister Dong Jie, who is a court minister who assists the emperor.

There was only one emperor in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the only monarch was Emperor Richard. The other princes and ministers were all servants. This cannot be mistaken.
