Wild North America 1846

Before you know it, in ten years, the territory of the Tang Kingdom will have expanded to 7.31 million square kilometers. Adding in the 786,000 square kilometers of Paradise Island owned by the Tang royal family, the kingdom's territory has reached 8.096 million square kilometers, second only to Brazil's 8.51 million square kilometers.

kilometers of territory, ranking second in the American continent.

In comparison

The United States has a territory of 5.99 million square kilometers, which is far behind the Tang Dynasty and can only rank third in the American continent (Note: together with the 678,000 square kilometers of Texas, the United States has a territory of 5.73 million square kilometers.

, plus the 260,000 square kilometers of land ceded by Mexico to the states of Tijuana and Monterey, totaling 5.99 million square kilometers).

Looking back at history

During the U.S.-Tang War that ended in 1849, the Tang Kingdom ceded six states in the northwest United States through treaties, with a total area of ​​1.477 million square kilometers. In addition to the previous 3.01 million square kilometers of the Tang Kingdom's land, the total area of ​​the Datang Kingdom

Reaching 4.49 million square kilometers, the United States is the third largest country in the Americas (including North, South and Central America) after Brazil.

In September 1851, after the signing of the "Mexican Treaty", the Tang Kingdom annexed eight southern states of Mexico, and the total area increased from 4.49 million square kilometers to 5.593 million square kilometers (note, the increase included 17,500 square kilometers of Hawaii Province, Panama

Province 75,500 square kilometers).

Later, through purchase, another 1.717 million square kilometers of Alaska were acquired, bringing the territory of the Tang Kingdom to 7.31 million square kilometers, surpassing the United States and ranking second only to Brazil as the second largest country in the Americas.

Through two North American wars, the Tang Kingdom defeated regional competitors such as the United States and Mexico this year, thus significantly expanding its territory and establishing its current status as a powerful North American power.

It can be said

The rise of the Tang Kingdom was based on continuously weakening and attacking the United States and Mexico. It trampled on the corpses to win one victory after another, and severely knocked down the United States before it became stronger.

All of this has also formed the main contradiction in North America today; that is, the two-power struggle for hegemony between Tang and the United States.

In the large study room of the Los Angeles Palace

Richard stood in front of a large map of North America with his hands behind his back, his eyes solemn, and he carefully considered the current situation.

The Kansas Civil War in the United States is still ongoing. In the original history, this civil war lasted until the end of 1859, and now there is no sign of the war stopping.

What do brothers fear most?

What I fear most is that there is a neighbor with ill intentions around me who may unite with one party and attack the other party at any time.

greatest possible

It was the Tang Kingdom that united with the closely related Southern United States to support its secession proposition. This is the strategic dilemma that the current U.S. federal government has to face.

Being trapped in such a strategic dilemma has made the U.S. federal government restless. The Tang Kingdom has demonstrated its strong military capabilities in previous wars and is an opponent that is not easy to mess with.

As for the forces of the southern slave states of the United States, amidst the gunfire of the Kansas Civil War, they gradually drifted away from the northern liberals, and the rift had expanded to the point where it could not be concealed.

From the perspective of the U.S. federal government, there is an abyss to the left and an abyss to the right. There is only a bumpy and thorny path in the middle, which seems to lead to the other side of victory.

The only possibility for the United States to break the strategic dilemma is to take the lead in provoking the U.S.-Tangshan border dispute and then develop it into a full-scale war, replacing internal conflicts with a larger focus of conflict, prompting both the North and the South to temporarily put aside their prejudices and jointly deal with the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

The biggest enemy.

This thorny path seems to be the only feasible option for the US federal government.

Richard stood in front of a map that was about half the height of a man, holding a lit cigar in his hand. The thick blue tobacco smoke lingered on his side, making his figure blurry.

Today, the Tang Kingdom is in a rare period of peace since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The economy is still developing at a high speed under the influence of inertial growth.

However, without the strong pull of European war demand, the driving force for development has become weaker and weaker, showing obvious signs of a decline in development speed, and is transitioning from a quasi-war economy to a peace economic era.

There is peace and prosperity in the country, but few people are aware of the imminent strategic crisis in North America.

Richard is one of these very few people. With Superman's mysterious premonition, he can predict that next year will be an unstable year.

The heavy clouds of war are sweeping in from the east, and the east is the direction of the United States...

After the rise of the Tang Kingdom, the historical trajectory of North America has been very different from the original historical trajectory. A new player has emerged that can compete with the United States - the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

This has also brought many new variables to the situation in North America. Did the American Civil War enter an irreversible state of division at the end of 1860, as it did in history?

With the strong support of the Tang Kingdom and the British interference, will the American South declare independence earlier?

In order to gain the initiative, will the U.S. federal government take the lead in attacking the Tang Kingdom and initiate a full-scale war?

Judging from the current situation

The last possibility is the most likely. The American Federation can no longer resist the urge for war. It is expected that the possibility of war between Tang and the United States will increase rapidly after June to July next year.

The longer we delay, the risk of war will rise sharply.

Why did you make such a strategic judgment?

One is based on Richard's mysterious premonition, and the other is based on the current situation of the U.S. federal government. This aspect needs to be explained carefully.

The trip to Hawaii lasted a month, and more than a week had passed since we returned to Los Angeles. It was already mid-August 1856, and the beginning of autumn would soon begin.

The current President of the United States, Franklin Pierce, is entering the final days of his term. He will officially step down as president in March next year and become the former president of the United States in people's minds.

The time left is no longer enough to launch a full-scale war against the Tang Kingdom. Neither Congress nor the military will follow President Franklin Pierce in a fruitless adventure.

The final results of the US election have not yet been officially announced, but Democratic candidate James Buchanan won 6 of the 9 eastern states announced in advance, leading the Whig President by a large margin.

Competitors.

If nothing else happens, Democratic candidate James Buchanan is more than 80% certain to win the final presidential election, and there may be more.

"James Buchanan..." Richard murmured, a tenacious fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

This is the life and death enemy in his mysterious premonition. It is unknown in the original history, but the next president of the United States who succeeds James Buchanan will be known to everyone in the world, that is President Abraham Lincoln.

To understand this president, people in later generations will often elevate their admiration to worship when visiting the historical buildings in Washington, DC.

That is the "Lincoln Memorial", a magnificent Greek temple-like building with a pure white overall shape, located on the west side of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in a straight line with the Capitol Hill Building and the Washington Monument. It is the support and creation of the American spirit of freedom, democracy, and justice.

The strongman of the Great American Confederacy.

This man won great fame in the Kansas Civil War. Now he has returned to Philadelphia to join the newly formed Republican Party. He is giving speeches everywhere and trying his best to promote his political ideas in order to prepare for the presidential nomination in the next political contest.

The threat of Abraham Lincoln was still a few years away, and Richard now faced James Buchanan, who publicly claimed during the campaign;

"The United States shoulders the natural mission of unifying and dominating the North American continent. It cannot tolerate cowardice, let alone live side by side with an Eastern regime. This is a shame for white people.

During my term of office, I will be committed to regaining the territory of the six northwest states and building a strong and great American Union. May God bless you!"

It can be seen from his public remarks that this person is a fanatical white expansionist, and his radical political ideas have received strong support from the hawks within the Democratic Party, so he was able to defeat the current President Franklin Pierce and win the Democratic President

Nomination of candidates.

Passionate slogans are always easy to inflame people's inner emotions. The Democratic Party has long been complaining about the inaction during President Franklin Pierce's term, and is eager to change everything.

As a tough challenger, James Buchanan won the support of most people in the party with his extreme and dangerous political slogans, interrupting President Franklin Pierce's dream of being re-elected. It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing?

The person who knows you best must be your enemy.

Richard has made an in-depth and detailed analysis of James Buchanan's behavior characteristics and personality tendencies. He is an old bachelor in his 60s. He is extreme and stubborn, and he has the spirit of accepting death even if he hits a wall.

To put it nicely, it’s called perseverance, but to put it badly, it’s a road to darkness.

The reason why this person is not famous in history and spent four years of his presidential term in obscurity is because his predecessor has done everything he can, expanding the U.S. territory to the West Coast and successfully winning it.

The British Oregon Territory was formed, and the American states of Oregon, Washington, Iowa and Nevada were formed on this basis.

Xiang Nan obtained Texas by launching the Mexican-American War. He was already satisfied with his food and had a full belly, and his desire to expand into new territories was greatly reduced.

If James Buchanan wanted to make a difference during his term in office, he would have continued to bully Mexico or invade British Canada in the north, thereby provoking a war between Britain and the United States.

Doing so has no public opinion basis and no realistic possibility. Therefore, President James Buchanan can only focus on developing an industrialized economy domestically and bully neighboring Central and South American countries, and that's it.

It's different now

The United States had a strong rival in the North American continent, the Tang Kingdom, and had the painful experience of being defeated and forced to cede territory for peace. This gave James Buchanan a solid public opinion foundation for his military adventure.

If the six northwest states can be regained through war and then move westward into the New Mexico region, then James Buchanan will become a heroic president in American history and a president who ushered in a new era and will forever be remembered in history.

Coupled with the current strategic dilemma facing the US federal government, it is easy to deduce what measures the new James Buchanan administration of the United States will take?

"call……"

Exhaling a long puff of smoke, Richard's eyes looked wise and profound at this time. His eyes stayed for a long time in the Great Lakes region with Chicago as the core, and his eyes traveled back and forth in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin, revealing

With uncontrollable enthusiasm.

You miss my territory, but I still miss yours!

You covet my yard, why the hell am I not yearning for your yard?

Haha, everyone is talking to each other!
