Wild North America 1846

The train ran all the way, passing through vast grasslands, lakes, forests and rolling mountains. Countless beautiful scenery was left behind, and the steam locomotive roared all the way forward.

Sitting in the luxuriously decorated carriage, Richard's eyes were looking into the distance. There was no focus in his eyes, but he was immersed in deep memories.

The beautiful scenery along the way, the mountains, rivers and lakes have all left traces of battles. How can we forget them so easily?

In the first and second battles on the northern front, Richard personally led his troops north to the Colorado Plateau. The route the train passed was the same journey they had walked in the wind and snow, as if they could still remember it vividly.

A lonely mountain, a low-lying lake, and a dozen bleak trees all left the mark of battles.

I recall the high-spirited times when we traveled across the Northern Front, galloping across the battlefield with ease, always able to avoid areas heavily defended by the US military, and killing Yankees on their feet.

Richard felt deeply about this. All of this was inseparable from the accurate intelligence brought by the eagle news in the sky, which made it almost impossible to escape the deployment of US military forces.

If you are not sure

Richard can also easily subdue small nimble animals such as weasels and wild cats, and enter the towns where the US military is entrenched for close investigation, gaining the advantage of unilateral information transparency.

There was no way around it. At that time, Richard had so little capital that he couldn't afford to lose.

Four or five years have passed in a flash

Nowadays, the prosperous Tang Kingdom has some industrial, agricultural and population base, and has the spirit and responsibility of a major North American country. It is rapidly rising in North America, sharing the great fortune of the Yankees.

This magnificent gift from God was so rich that it was unimaginable. It was enough to support the Tang Kingdom and the United States to rise side by side in North America, and there was still plenty left.

Richard had no doubts about this invisible and intangible theory of luck.

Just like the Mongols suddenly rose up on the grassland, they broke out without any reason and were so tyrannical that they destroyed hundreds of countries with long histories across the Eurasian continent. Is there any trace to follow?

The same is true for the United States. From the initial thirteen states on the east coast, it has been developing at a rapid pace. It was not until it was hit hard in the Tang Kingdom that it stopped the pace of expansion that was so easy.

If Richard hadn't been loaded with cheats, he really wouldn't have been able to stop him.

If you look at the current rapid economic and population development of the American Federation, you will know that the failure of the three Western Expeditions did not cause substantial harm to the United States.

Just like a strong man with thick skin and thick flesh, he got up again after being knocked down for the third time. He casually dusted himself off and admitted defeat, but it did not affect the future development of the United States.

The poor motherland China is different. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is like an old and twilight man. After being easily defeated by the British, French and Eight-Nation Allied Forces, even the Fuso Japs can come up and step on them hard.

The Chinese nation has fallen into a century-old decline...

"Woo..."

The steam locomotive blew a long whistle, awakening Richard from his chaotic thoughts. He took a sip of the slightly cold tea and calmly considered the current situation at home and abroad.

in Europe

Louis Napoleon Bonaparte successfully won the lofty title of "Defender of the Holy Land" for France, and won the universal love of the French people, which enabled him to successfully restore his country and ascend the throne of the French Emperor.

Faced with the strong pressure from France, the Ottoman Empire surrendered as expected and gave up the honorary title of "Defender of the Holy Land", which originally belonged to the tsar, thus completely intensifying the "Eastern Question".

The so-called "Eastern Question" refers to a series of issues surrounding the declining Ottoman Empire, such as the Bulgarian question, the Armenian question, the Holy Land Jerusalem question, the Serbia and Montenegro question, the Caucasus question, etc.

These areas, which were originally border provinces of the Ottoman Empire, have now become the targets of the European powers, who have forcibly intervened in them, thus complicating the problem.

You want to eat, and he wants to eat too. Naturally, there will be fierce disputes, which leads to the "Oriental Question" becoming a hot issue in Europe.

nowadays

The sluggish Tsarist Russia has not yet made a formal response, but it can be expected that once the fury of Tsarist Russia's furry bear ignites, the whole of Europe will be shaken.

And this... is exactly the result that Emperor Louis Napoleon Polaba III wanted to see, and it is also the result that Richard wanted to see.

The increasingly chaotic situation in Europe was conducive to the Tang Kingdom fishing in troubled waters.

After swallowing up the eight states in northern and central Mexico, London's attitude toward the Tang Kingdom became strange. It was often lukewarm, finding fault with some trade and bilateral exchanges, and speaking in eccentric ways.

She looked like she was telling her not to mess with me when my aunt came.

Richard knew that the British guy was upset.

As a veteran colonist, the British don't like things to be out of their control. Just like the rapid expansion of the Tang Kingdom, London doesn't like it very much.

This has nothing to do with whether to gift shares in Prince Albert's gold mine, or the communication channels with the upper echelons of London, but is determined by the subordinate positioning between London and the Tang Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, in the minds of the arrogant British, the Tang Kingdom was a dog they raised in North America.

When the United States needs to be bitten, go ahead and bite it hard, teaching Americans how to respect the British Empire, the world hegemon.

decades later

Britain also did the same thing in East Asia, that is, it took a fancy to the Fuso Japs and pushed the Fuso Japs to bite the Russian fur bears crazily, leading to an extremely brutal Russo-Japanese War.

Hundreds of years later, the Yankees did the same thing and deployed two dogs, Fuso and Kimchi, in East Asia at the same time. This was completely imitating the vicious tricks of the British.

London never thought that in a single moment of negligence, the Kingdom of Tang would scrape a large piece of meat from Mexico in the south, quickly grow from a dog to a tiger, and grow into one of the two major hegemons in North America that could compete with the United States.

The speed of its transformation was completely beyond London's expectation. Is it surprising that he felt happy?

The reason why Richard expects to see the Eastern Question continue to ferment is because it will divert a lot of British energy and have no time to deal with the Tang Kingdom, thus giving the Datang Kingdom valuable breathing and development space.

After a few years, the Tang Kingdom has developed into a towering tree, and Britain will need the Tang Kingdom's assistance in many North American affairs, and the relationship between the two parties will undergo subtle changes.

With a long sigh, Richard seemed to be letting out the depression in his heart.

In this world of the weak and the strong

Strength is the foundation of a country. If you don't have strength, people won't even look at you, let alone sit together, talk and laugh, and discuss world events.

The period between now and next year should be the roughest stage in the relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the United Kingdom.

Richard was thinking about how to build a good relationship with Britain and make sure that the relationship between the two countries did not deteriorate. However, he frowned when he thought of Sir Henry John Temple, the British Foreign Secretary. He was the most furious right now.

Sir Henry John Temple once publicly declared when consulting the House of Lords in London;

"A Tang kingdom dominated by oriental barbarians is full of the aggression of grassland peoples and may become the biggest factor of instability in North America. This is contrary to London's policy. We should send a timely and clear signal."

"That's enough... Orientals, you have to behave yourself here."

"I am not a lobbyist for Americans, nor do I sympathize with those Yankees who spread dangerous free ideas everywhere. It is a place where the Irish are sheltered and filth is harbored. I am just concerned about whether the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty poses a threat to the Canadian colonies?"

Talk to the heart

Sir Henry John Temple's words successfully aroused the sensitive nerves of the British.

Think about it, it's true

In the vast and sparsely populated central and western Canada, there are very few white people. There are only less than 70,000 people in the six to seven million square kilometers of land, which is almost a desert.

The population and economic center of the British Canadian colony was always along the Ottawa-Montreal-Quebec line, which was a prosperous urban belt close to the northern border of the United States, just north of New York State and Vermont.

This prosperous urban area has a population of nearly 2 million, accounting for more than 80% of the total population of the British Canadian colony. It is undoubtedly the golden core area.

But it is also very far away from the central and western regions. It is often three to four thousand kilometers away. It has to climb countless mountains and forests and pass through thousands of kilometers of inaccessible areas. There are no railways or roads that can pass. It takes at least four months to travel on horseback or on foot.

above.

The only convenient means of communication was the long-distance telegraph line.

After the Tang Kingdom grew rapidly, the British began to worry that the Tang Kingdom was concerned about the British Canadian colony, which was not wrong.

The most hateful thing is that Sir Henry John Temple successfully aroused the concerns of the British and deepened this impression, causing London's public opinion and upper class society to have doubts and suspicions about the Tang Kingdom, which became difficult to deal with.

Richard did not deny that he indeed coveted Canada's Midwest, but he never expressed it publicly, but reiterated it again and again;

It will unswervingly implement the territorial division treaty with the United Kingdom and fulfill its responsibilities as a responsible North American power.

You can still be friends if you see through it without telling it off. The most hateful thing about Sir Henry John Temple is that he cannot be bribed and can only watch him speak nonsense.

Today is the glorious period of Victoria. The British Empire's economic output accounts for nearly one-third of the entire world. It is the first industrial country to initiate the steam revolution and is the world's factory. Its economic strength is so powerful that it can crush everything.

Britain invested heavily in capital in the first industrial revolution represented by steam machinery, which led to the rapid development of traditional industrial sectors such as textiles, coal, food, shipbuilding, and machinery manufacturing, accounting for one-third of the world's industrial product production.

It ensured Britain's dominant position in the world economy in the first half of the 19th century.

Today is the most glorious time for Britain, but as France, the United States, Prussia, Italy, Tang and other countries have begun industrialization, Britain has gradually slipped from the throne of the world's factory. This will happen in the next twenty or thirty years.

Now, we must hug the big thick leg of Britain tightly, and feel aggrieved if we feel a little wronged. Who can let others be much stronger than us?

There was a gentle knock on the door of the king's luxurious box. Richard looked up and saw that it was Major General Chen Chuan, the chief of the Royal Attaché's Office, who opened the door and came in. He clasped his fists respectfully and saluted, "Your Majesty, the terminal is Peel City.

We will arrive soon, and the city’s dignitaries are lining up at the station to greet you, asking for your Majesty’s instructions.”

"Oh, then get ready to get off the car."

"Wei Chen understands, let's go and arrange the relevant matters." Major General Chen Chuan bowed deeply, then took two steps back, opened the door and went out, closing the door gently.

The whole process was gentle and made no sound, just like a civet cat.
