Wild North America 1846

October 21, 1861

Following the prince's expedition last Saturday, Count Juan Carlos, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs who was idle at home, accepted the secret order of His Majesty the Emperor and went on a mission to the Confederate States of America (South) and Europe. The main destination was to go to the United Kingdom to meet with Her Majesty Queen Victoria and to visit New Zealand.

Cleveland, the state capital located on the edge of the Great Lakes, is filled with smoke. The charred and dilapidated buildings and rubble everywhere in the city show that this place has gone through a brutal and bloody battle for the city. The high-flying double dragon flag says it all.

The troops of the Tang Empire occupied it.

Since March 3, 1861, the new President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, once again launched a national military mobilization and recruited 600,000 volunteer militiamen to join the Northern Army. The total strength of the Northern Army once again expanded to 1.64 million.

More than half a year has passed

On today's Eastern Front battlefield (the Western Front battlefield no longer exists), the Allied Forces of the Confederate States of America and the Tang Empire have successively launched dozens of large-scale battles, thousands of small and medium-sized battles, and continuous sounds of gunfire.

Ringing throughout Ohio, Georgia, New York, West Virginia and Virginia, the continuous war has devastated life and made the people miserable.

In more than half a year, the Northern Army suffered repeated setbacks. The total number of casualties among officers and soldiers was as high as 372,400. The total strength of the army dropped to less than 1.2 million. More than 60,000 white officers and soldiers deserted.

Since the coalition forces focused on killing a large number of the Northern Army's effective forces and were not eager to further occupy more floors, they dispersed their forces and adopted a conservative policy of steady and steady attack.

And it is this that makes the United States of America (North) very uncomfortable.

The extreme shortage of food has triggered large-scale famine, plunging cities and countryside into extreme turmoil and vicious crime. Robbery and murder on the streets have become commonplace, and gangs and police have even evolved into small-scale urban wars.

Years of war have caused factories to close down, and staggering inflation has made U.S. dollars worthless. Hundreds of banks and financial companies have all suffered catastrophes and closed down one after another.

Internal and external troubles have put the federal government of the United States (Northern United States) on the stove, struggling to deal with it. Further military mobilization is almost impossible. At this time, the federal government is like sitting on a tinderbox, ready to be blown to pieces at any time.

For more than half a year

The coalition camp suffered about 220,000 casualties, including 137,500 casualties from the Confederate States of America on the main battlefield on the Eastern Front, and about thousands of deserters. The total number of troops has been reduced to about 510,000, and they are still gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on.

The Southern Army of the Tang Empire has entered the Eastern Front battlefield and taken over part of the defensive pressure on the Eastern Front battlefield. This made the Confederate States of America finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, the Tang Empire suffered more than 79,000 casualties, nearly half of which were from white servant troops.

For more than half a year, the United States (Northern) had an extremely difficult life. Hundreds of thousands of people died of hunger, and a large number of refugees fled to Canada or the South. As a result, the total population of the North further declined, and it was less than 10 million people.

The population red line is not far away.

In a small town not far from Cleveland

The headquarters of the Northern Army is located here. Fan Pengju, who carried the rank of brigadier general on his shoulders and was wearing a crisp general uniform, strode out of the heavily guarded headquarters. He looked around and saw a carriage quickly driving away.

come over.

When Brigadier General Fan Pengju saw the familiar guards on the carriage, he nodded slightly and stepped into the carriage. The carriage drove forward quickly and soon disappeared.

Today, Brigadier General Fan Pengju has already resigned from his post as commander of the 502nd Division, and has joined the Corps Headquarters as the Chief of Military Command under the Staff Department. It has been half a year now, and he is very familiar with the officers of the Corps Headquarters.

In just three years, his life took off. Today, Brigadier General Fan Pengju is one of the rising stars of the Northern Corps. Looking back on the process is as unreal as a dream.

more than three years ago

Fan Pengju entered the Salt Lake City training base with the rank of captain, and then served as the battalion-level military officer with the rank of major during the expansion. Then he rose step by step in one war after another and made many meritorious deeds. He is well-deserved for his current high position.

.

At the level of Army Brigadier General, Brigadier General Fan Pengju has no chance of promotion.

It is no longer that you can continue to be promoted with military exploits, but you must hone your skills, that is, you must have 1 to 3 years of experience in the Army Staff or Corps, 1 to 3 years of experience in the Army School, and more than 3 years of Army A-level experience.

Level field division full-time service experience.

in special cases

Entering the Royal Attendant's Office to get gold plating is a very good way to explore, but for general brigadiers, you should not think about it. It is a place where many young nobles and families with deep backgrounds flock to, and the competition is very fierce.

After being excellent in the above-mentioned evaluations, if there is a vacancy in the army for promotion to major general, then only by competing among a group of qualified army brigadiers can you have the opportunity to seriously enter the ranks of generals and become a true senior general.

In the military ranks of the Tang Dynasty, Army Brigadier General was a higher rank than Colonel, but he was not a real general. He could be regarded as a reserve general or a reserve general, so he was called "Brigadier General".

Not far from the town is a chic manor. Such white manors can be seen everywhere in Ohio, which has a long history of development. Generals with high positions like to live in such manor, which is quiet, comfortable and private.

.

The main building of Brigadier General Fan Pengju's temporary stay in the manor is not big. It is a two-story wooden building with upstairs and downstairs. It is a typical British style. It is stationed with a squad of cavalry guards, all of whom have been his personal soldiers for a long time.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the main building of the manor. Brigadier Fan Pengju got off the carriage. Several beautiful white girls had already come out to greet him. They took his expensive cane and military cap and handed him a hot towel to wipe his face.

Serve the master.

These beautiful white girls are not concubines because Brigadier General Fan Pengju married the daughter of Earl Colt. This is a Protestant family that only accepts monogamy.

Brigadier General Fan Pengju, as a Chinese, was originally allowed to have concubines, but he voluntarily gave up this right, so these beautiful white girls could only follow him in name and without permission, serving him during the day and keeping the bed warm at night.

Even if a child is born, it is still an illegitimate child.

This is also one of the reasons why many Chinese generals are unwilling to marry white women. Instead, they travel thousands of miles to marry Chinese women as their wives. This tarnishes the pure blood of the family. Secondly, it is difficult for them to enjoy the blessings of the other person. Thirdly, it is not good for the family.

The family is blooming.

After returning home, Brigadier General Fan Pengju simply washed up, then went to the study alone and started writing a letter.

This letter was written to his cousin, Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, who served as deputy commander of the Colorado Corps. Mainly, the six princes of the royal family came to the front line, and the Army Chief of Staff, Duke Dai Changfu, also followed, and took strict security measures.

The older eldest prince, second prince and third prince all chose to join the Chang'an Cavalry Corps. Because their father had a tradition of relying on cavalry to make his fortune, the young and energetic princes were naturally unwilling to lag behind.

Following the arrival of the six great dukes at the front line were dozens of direct descendants of the top nobles in the empire, all of whom were accompanying His Highness the Duke or riding behind the horses. This made the Chang'an Corps immediately become very popular.

Being familiar with His Highness or the children of these great nobles will be of great benefit to the future!

Brigadier General Fan Pengju is only 31 years old this year. Even though he was promoted to Army Major General after five or six years of hard work, he is still a member of the young generals and has a promising future.

His cousin, Lieutenant General Fan Pengfei, was 8 years older than him. He was one of the emerging military bosses in the empire. He was very effective in speaking at the Army Staff Headquarters. Fan Pengju also respected his cousin of the same ethnicity very much.

If it were not for this cousin of the same clan to plan on his behalf, he would be at most a major now, and a lieutenant colonel at the end of the day.

If you want to stand out in the military, in addition to outstanding talents, all factors are indispensable: pre-occupation and having someone above you.

The empire now has a total military strength of more than 780,000. Even if there are only one outstanding talent in a million, there are seventy or eighty of them. How can it be Brigadier General Fan Pengju's turn to stand out?

This secret letter prevented him from wanting to be transferred to the Chang'an Army. Whether he was in the Chang'an Army's staff or headquarters, he would be closer to His Highness the Duke and would have more opportunities.

This kind of cross-corps transfer can only be done by military bosses who have a say in the Army General Staff Headquarters.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Brigadier General Fan Pengju is such a thoughtful and smart man. Not only is he willing to use his brain in battle, he is good at analyzing and seizing opportunities, but he is also exquisite and clear in life and can see the general trend clearly.

Today's North American war has progressed to this extent, and the winner has actually been decided.

As for when the war will end?

It all depends on what His Majesty in the Ming Dynasty wants to do. When will he beat the Yankees to pieces, completely destroy their industrial development foundation and economic structure, and suppress their national development potential? When will he be satisfied... when will he be satisfied?

Finish.

Brigadier General Fan Pengju's writing was as fast as flying, and he quickly wrote thousands of eloquent words, clearly showing his desire for improvement.

Even though the empire's colonial expansion in North America has come to an end, it may still expand significantly in South America in the future. The Army General Staff Headquarters already has a battle plan for an expedition to the Pampas Plateau of South America. This is no secret.

If I can win the favor of His Highness the Duke, and if I can devote myself to the expedition in South America in 3 to 5 years or more, and make great contributions to the Fan family, then this life will be worth it.

Every time he thinks of this, Brigadier General Fan Pengju becomes even more eager...

The North American War in front of us is coming to an end. There are more than 130 generals in the Northern Army, the Colorado Army, the Southern Army, and the Chang'an Army, all gearing up to make a final big profit.

After the war, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely have an unprecedented large-scale knighthood reward. Can the viscount be further awarded to the earl? Can the earl be further awarded to the marquis? Can the marquis be further awarded to the duke? It all depends on this final performance.

.

Everything must be said in terms of military merits and honors, but what Brigadier General Fan Pengju saw was the opportunities in the future.

With his current meritorious service, it would be unreasonable to confer him a baronetship. This would not satisfy his eagerness to make achievements.
