"The Uttarakhstan attempted to separate from the United States. Six Cabinet Grand Secretary have decided to provide assistance to the Uttarakhstan when necessary. According to our Director General's prediction, there will be a war in the North and South Federations. The Uttarakhstan, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama, 11 states, including South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, and Alabama, have secretly agreed to separate from the United States, and there are two states waiting and watching. It is estimated that thirteen states will form an alliance."

"This is the ultimate secret of our Jinyiwei. Only the Qianhu members who are in charge of this matter are qualified to know."

Chen Jianxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, secretly summoned four Jinyiwei Qianhu Qian in the capital, and a third-rank commander Tongzhi. They were usually extremely secret matters discussed at the highest level of the Zhaozhu Tower.

It was still snowing outside the Zhaozhu Tower.

Chu Qi is also among the four thousand households.

He had just returned from Edo Castle, and soon the commander of the Jinyiwei found him again.

He had already learned about the affairs of the Southern Federation of North America from Zhang Wenzheng, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion. The states in the southern United States that promoted plantation economy were planned to leave the United States, but he said it from his superior Chen Jianxing that the Jinyiwei would intervene in this matter in a large way.

Shen Jianxing sat in the main seat and faced several capable subordinates under his command, he issued an order: "In addition to being responsible for infiltrating the Thousand Houses of the United States, you four Thousand Houses each sent a hundred house to North America to investigate some cities and fortresses in the Northern Federation."

Before the troops move, intelligence comes first. Before the force is about to be taken, the Jinyiwei is often the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War. It is precisely because of this that the Jinyiwei has its current status.

"The industrial strength of the Northern Federation is far above the Yugoslavia, which has developed agriculture. The population of our Ming Empire is increasing day by day, and industry also needs food as support. The Yugoslavia can export agricultural products to our Ming Dynasty in the future. This is the price we need to pay to assist the Yugoslavia and the Yugoslavia."

"The Western powers are all behind the Northern Federation. If the Yugoslavia want to be independent from the United States, they must face the pressure of industrially strong Northern Federation and Western powers. Our Ming Empire needs to cross the Pacific Ocean to seize the West Coast of North America, and then use railways to provide military and economic assistance to the Yugoslavia."

Chen Jianxing personally spread a roll of map on the square table, which turned out to be a map of the United States of North America.

If Lincoln of the United States was present, his face would probably be ugly.

This map is quite detailed, and even marks the locations of each fortress and the deployment of troops.

Chu Qi sat at the square table, surrounded by colleagues of the same level, and two of his superiors.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei was going to interfere in the affairs of the United States of North America, he would definitely not be able to stay out of it. This matter might even be related to the future of the Ming Empire.

Chu Qi pointed to the map and said, "Richmond, the capital of the Uttar Confederacy, is in the Atlantic Ocean. The fleet of our Ming Empire needs to bypass Cape Horn to reach the Caribbean Sea before we can provide assistance to Richmond. The route from the East and South Oceans to the Caribbean Sea is half the earth, and the Western powers only need to cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Caribbean Sea. Even if the Ming fleet reaches the Caribbean Sea, it will be surrounded by the fleet of Western powers. It is quite inappropriate to fight for sea control in the Caribbean Sea. But if the sea power is abandoned, the Western powers can block the coastline and attack the Uttar Confederacy from the coastline at any time."

The problem he pointed out was not aimless, but that the Panama Canal had not been built yet, and the United States' economic center was on the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Pacific Ocean. If the fleet of the Ming Empire wanted to circumnavigate to the Atlantic Ocean, it needed to detour from Cape Horn in South America.

Even though the current Ming Empire fleet is a Blue Ocean Fleet, it will not easily travel thousands of miles to fight for the sea control of the Atlantic Ocean, otherwise the local troops will be empty.

Chen Jianxing looked at Chu Qi and replied, "So a few years ago, we secretly instructed the states of the Ukrainian Federation to invest in the construction of the California-Atlanta, Richmond railways, and fortresses in important coastal areas. We gave up the sea control in the Caribbean Sea. Furthermore, our main purpose is not to help the Ukrainian Federation annex the Northern Federation, but to make the Ukrainian independence."

Chu Qi and the other three Jinyiwei Qianhu were smart people, and they easily understood the strategic intentions of the Ming Empire.

Neither the Northern Federation nor the Yugoslavia united the United States would be beneficial to the Ming Empire.

Now the Yugoslavia seeks assistance from the Ming Empire for independence, which is in common interest.

But there are no eternal friends among the great powers, and the former allies will easily stand opposite each other. A unified United States is ultimately a threat to the Ming Empire.

It turned out that the Ming Empire began planning a counterattack a few years ago.

Chu Qi was secretly surprised.

"This matter is an absolute secret. Chu Qi, your Qianhu House is responsible for the investigation of California..." Chen Jianxing arranged one by one, "I will hand over the specific tasks to you separately. This is different from the regular tasks, so I need to report to me separately."

"Abide by the order!"

"There is another thing. The third World Expo in the next year will be held in the Imperial City. At that time, the princes and nobles of the Western countries will come. The scale is unimaginable. If the emperors and nobles of various countries have an accident in the imperial city of our Ming Empire, they may blame us for the Ming Dynasty. Protecting the envoys of various countries should have been the responsibility of the police yamen in the imperial city, but our Jinyiwei will also need to assign personnel to be responsible for protecting and monitoring the envoys of various countries."

When Chen Jianxing mentioned another arrangement, Chu Qi and others complained secretly.

The tasks of the Jinyiwei are also too heavy. For example, the regular task of the Qianhu Institution managed by Chu Qi is to monitor the movements of the Prussian Empire, and they will also encounter urgent tasks, such as protecting the Ming envoys to the East and sending people to North America to collect intelligence.

Now there is another mission to secretly monitor and protect the missions of various countries at the World Expo.

Although Chu Qi has thousands of people under him, he has performed several tasks at the same time and needs to be allocated reasonably.

He sat in the position of Qianhu, Jinyiwei, and not fighting and killing, but actually running the thousands of people in Qianhu.

Chu Qi led the mission of Shen Jianxing back to the sixth floor of the Zhaozhu Tower, which was his usual place to deal with affairs.
