Chapter 134 Cuba, don't give it for nothing! Emperor, you say you won't do it if you don't do it?

Slap! Crash!

Urged by the sea breeze, the blue water violently hit the ancient city walls and turned into white foam, as if washing the buildings that had been around for hundreds of years.

Li Mengyang climbed onto this fortress that looked majestic and majestic before he climbed to the distance, and he could see the entire Havana, including the Cathedral Square, San Francisco Square, Royal Army Castle, San Salvador Castle... Plus the Morro Castle under his feet, these buildings are very large, majestic and sturdy. You can see from these buildings the prosperity of Havana and the glory of the Spanish!

However, the Spanish have now declined. Napoleon invaded Spain, causing the country to lose its original arrogance. The movement in South America has made Spain even worse.

Li Mengyang knew something. These Spanish guys were originally pirates. Real pirates were just daring to take risks and do things, but they couldn't keep the things they snatched, which means that it was easy to fight the country, but it was difficult to defend the country. The Spanish didn't understand this...

It's really sad, and now, all of this has been trampled under my feet by Li Mengyang!

Even, we man don’t care about her!

"I really can't see through you. Why did you conquer Havana but not take this place for yourself? The individuals of Cespedes are simply rabble. If you want, the Revolutionary Army can easily drive those people out of the sea. Tell me, why?" Elena was increasingly confused about what Clint Lee was thinking. It was obviously a matter of huge profits. Taking Havana was actually equivalent to taking Cuba. This place has a lot of resources. It really made the Spanish make a lot of money back then. Otherwise, how could there be so many majestic buildings?

Elena had long believed that Clint Lee was a dictator, so would a dictator turn a blind eye to the flesh in front of him?

Originally, while enjoying the beautiful scenery, there were also beautiful women. This was a great pleasure in life, but this beauty seemed not so easy to deal with.

"Ilena, let's take a good look at the scenery." Facing Ilena's problem, Li Mengyang didn't give much explanation at all. He was still paying attention to other things. This time he turned his attention to the north. From Morrow Castle, you can even see Florida, but there is still a small fishing village there.

"Don't treat me perfunctorily!" Elena was a little angry.

"Okay." Li Mengyang had no choice but to sigh, "Our revolutionary army is here to liberate the Cuban people. Our revolutionary army is the representative of the spirit of internationalism. For the Cuban people and freedom, and even for the South American people to break free from the colonial rule of European powers. We..."

"Shit!" Elena no longer wanted to hear Clint say this asshole again, because it was simply too nutritious.

"Do you have to force me to tell the truth?" Li Mengyang felt helpless.

"When did we become like this?" Elena was actually helpless. She used to think that she didn't care much about talking to Clint, but now, it should be said that it was different in New York before!

"Please believe me, I haven't changed." Li Mengyang felt that such a conversation seemed to exist only between couples, but now they both said this, but there was no sense of incongruity at all.

"Proof!" Ilena wants such a thing, prove it!

"Well, I'll be honest, if I can, I really want to take Havana as my own too! Are you satisfied?"

Li Mengyang finally opened the skylight and said lightly, but there was not much joy on Yilena's face.

"Why?" short and powerful.

Li Mengyang is no longer hiding it, "Because of the cost!"

"Cost?" Ilena said she couldn't understand.

"It's the cost." Li Mengyang smiled slightly, "How wonderful Cuba is. How profitable the local specialties here are, I naturally want to take it down. But I am also very clear that our revolutionary army does not have the ability to control this place. Maybe what you are watching now is that our army swept across Havana, but this is because of Cespedes! Don't underestimate others, this person is Cuban after all, and his ancestors are Spanish? If they make trouble, they will naturally get the support of the Cuban people, but if we occupy this place, what are we? Aren't we more annoying than the Spanish? At least they are of the same roots, and most of our ships are Irish..."

What Li Mengyang said is all the truth, and it is also an unfavorable factor in seizing Cuba at this time. To put it simply, if the Revolutionary Army wants to control Cuba, then the Revolutionary Army will not leave!

Although the Revolutionary Army is very strong, there are definitely more people in Cuba than your Revolutionary Army. They don’t even like the Spanish of the same race. Which revolutionary army is yours?

It is completely conceivable that once the revolutionary army occupy Cuba, even if it is fought, it will face endless resistance movements, various riots, and even terrorist attacks.

So nearly 20,000 people are probably not enough to see. Li Mengyang is a time traveler. He has seen too many such examples. Are American soldiers in later generations powerful? They are different in Iraq and have no choice. In Afghanistan, aren’t they also trapped in the vast ocean of people’s war?

That cost is calculated in trillions of dollars!

Besides, what is the place in Cuba?

The famous ones are cigars, sugar, corn, fruit, coffee... These are all agricultural products, and they have always lived on these things. Although they lived well for a while, this means that this place cannot develop industry at all, and there is no such condition!

It is the industrial age. Isn’t Havana’s decline the reason?

Moreover, Li Mengyang's destination is California. To put it more deeply, he actually wants to develop industry, because only the development of industry can lead to the development of industry in this era. Otherwise, why would he take people like Kelvin as if they were kidnapped?

So, it seems that it is not very cost-effective to take Cuba for yourself, and I’m afraid I can’t go to California!

In addition, there is another important reason.

"...We are now the Revolutionary Army. Although we are carrying out the revolution in New York, I don't think the men in the Confederacy have a good impression of us. And if we can have a good relationship with Cuban revolutionaries like Cespedes, then in the future we will do some business or something, or do business with the Southern United States, it will be easier."

The United States is a rightist country!

Li Mengyang had already thought about everything in the future. When this guy came to Cuba, he noticed that this island country is very close to Florida in the United States. Florida, this state is often teased by Americans in later generations as Dingding in the United States, but this location really makes many things easier.

But though...

"You are so confident? That Cespedes can make Cuba?" Although the most important thing in Cuba is Havana, there are many other regions after all. There are also armed forces.

However, Elena's words at this time were more of a worry. Before she knew it, she seemed to have begun to think about Clint Li again.

"Haha..." Li Mengyang naturally felt funny when he heard this, but this was a good thing, and he couldn't laugh anymore. So he immediately said seriously: "I don't have confidence in him, I don't have confidence in me!"

"..." Ilena thought at this time. It seemed that the man in front of her had never been defeated since leading the army to fight!

Yes, Li Mengyang naturally has confidence in himself. He can give some simple combat skills from Cespedes, such as digging a trench or something. Don’t underestimate this matter. The US military will not do it now, let alone the Spanish. They are still so weak at this time, so Cuba is simply a foregone conclusion!

At this point, Elena had already accepted Li Mengyang's explanation, but her brows still did not relax. She only heard her say: "Clint, you are already very powerful now. Can you not be that emperor?"

In terms of tone, it seems to be asking, but it also contains the meaning of desire, and it can even be said to be pleading.

Li Mengyang felt a lot at this moment. He understood Elena's thoughts. Elena was a progressive woman in this era. Such people supported democracy and freedom. The word "emperor" is definitely the biggest enemy of democracy and freedom...

"Oh~" Li Mengyang sighed and continued: "It's not what I want to be the emperor. That Liszt was not arranged by me. All this was not my original intention!"

Li Mengyang said it very sincerely. He did not arrange anything. He did not expect to be an emperor at first. But when Liszt shouted out and many people knelt in front of him on one knee, Li Mengyang suddenly realized that it might be difficult for him to reverse the situation.

However, Elena didn't think so. She took a step closer, grabbed Li Mengyang's hand and stared at him and said, "As long as you don't want to be, that's fine? If you don't do it, who can force you? Your power is the greatest now, why do you have to be the emperor?"

"Haha..." At this moment, Li Mengyang saw Elena's innocence. Because this matter was enough if he didn't want to?

Revolutions are divided into left and right, so when the revolution goes on, the more radical it is, the more popular it is, because everyone hopes for better.

Yes, it’s the word ‘up’!

In fact, many things are the same as revolution. Everyone hopes to "more what" and now, Li Mengyang has led the revolutionary army to achieve a series of brilliant victories, so everyone hopes that he can "more...'

So, what is the pinnacle of power?

It's the emperor!

Li Mengyang knew very well that even if there was no Liszt, there might be Zhang St, Liu St, and Sun St. Anyway, there would always be such a person who would push you forward and go further, and he would also gain benefits from it.

There are too many such examples in history, such as Wang Mang and Napoleon, too many... Li Mengyang knew very well that he could not turn it around, especially in this era, where the king was still there.

And the most important thing is that he is a Chinese! He is an absolute minority. Can he say no?

Elena shed tears. For some reason, she seemed to have realized Li Mengyang's mood at this time.

Li Mengyang reached out to help her wipe it off, and then smiled and said, "I promise you that even if you become an emperor, you will be a different emperor!"

Slap! Crash!

The waves in the Caribbean Sea are even more fierce... (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
