Wild North America 1846

Chapter 465 Take full advantage

three days later

Imperial Capital Chang'an, Daming Palace

Emperor Richard put down the memorial in his hand, and lay back comfortably on the back of the chair. His fingers unconsciously tapped the rosewood armrests, thoughtfully...

Is the Austro-Prussian War about to break out?

After reading the emergency memorial, he was struck by the performance of Tang Li Kun, the seventh son of the emperor. He was able to follow clues from complicated data and summarize important information. This was a skill that required some spiritual wisdom.

Emperor Richard could not clearly remember the time when the Austro-Prussian War broke out. Tang Li Kun's judgment bought time for the empire to calmly layout. It was really a stroke of genius!

In his mind;

The Austro-Prussian War was a major power war that shocked Europe. Both sides of the war used more than one million troops. It was a fierce confrontation, heavy casualties, and short-lasting war. In the end, the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire and won the leadership of the German region.

end.

This war destroyed dozens of small and medium-sized German states, including some relatively powerful states including the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Baden, and the Grand Duchy of Württemberg, and achieved the unification of part of the German nation.

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Bismarck, and the Chief of Staff, General Moltke, worked closely together. One won space and time through clever European diplomacy, and the other defeated the Austrian army through powerful military operations. Victory was established in a short period of time, leaving no room for foreign powers to intervene in the war.

Take advantage of the opportunity.

In view of the fact that the Kingdom of Prussia is in a bad situation in the current sensitive and complex situation in Europe, preparations for the war with Austria are more like dancing on a tightrope. If you accidentally fall down, all your efforts will be wasted.

In the main hall

Don't worry about how furious Britain will be afterwards, just swallow the fat in front of you first, otherwise the delay will end.

Even if in 10, 20 or even 50 years, their children are taken away, won't the British be angry?

Richard was certain that the British would not fall out with the Tang Empire, and fighting without breaking through would be the long-term main theme between the two countries.

Let’s hurt each other!

Who is afraid of whom?

The imperial border army has entered the three Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, carried out organized clearing and repeated sweeps in the region, and fully controlled the regional situation.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come to my doorstep, and it would be a shame not to take full advantage of it.

That was Earl Dong Jie, the former Secretary General. This man colonized Paradise Island and showed strong overall leadership during the economic recovery and construction of Illinois and Michigan after the North American War. He has become a dazzling star in the imperial political circles.

.

Therefore, the Prussian royal family did not inform its close transatlantic allies of the exact time for the war to begin. Such highly confidential information was too core and too fatal, and related to the great cause of the unification of the Kingdom of Prussia.

The first item is the matters related to the Yukon Dominion's implementation of a referendum and its submission to the Tang Empire. Now everything is ready, and all that is left is the east wind. When the east wind comes, it can be implemented.

"I obey the order!"

“Preach my will;

He urgently summoned all the prime ministers and cabinet staff to the palace for an audience, and called Count Dong Jie back to Chang'an, the imperial capital, to report on his duties.

Now it seems

It is necessary to speed up this process, shift the focus of resources and government work to the Central Plains Province immigrants, and strive to immigrate more than 100,000 people to the Central Plains Province within the next three months, and complete the restoration and establishment of the province.

The wonders of the world need to be experienced more to be interesting!

The second thing is to include the three Central American countries.

As the second powerful country in the world to enter full industrialization, the Tang Empire is not someone to be easily bullied.

Now that we know that a short but hugely influential war is about to break out in Europe, all the attention of the British Empire will be attracted by then, and taking the opportunity to capture the Yukon Dominion has become an urgent priority.

With more than a month left before the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War, Emperor Richard could now calmly make arrangements and promote two important matters that were already well-established.

Various matters for the proposed establishment of the "Central Plains Province" are being advanced. Since March, Chinese immigrants have successively entered various towns in the region and have begun to promote the restoration of production and life.

Think about it

In addition, a telegram was sent to General Tian Mantun, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region;

In view of the changes in the current situation, you are ordered to speed up the military operation to eliminate the remaining local forces and cooperate with the local administrative departments to make preparations for large-scale immigration without any mistakes.

Unexpectedly...the seventh prince sent a surprise.

I want to see a clean Central Plains Province by May 20 at the latest."

Arranged in mind

Emperor Richard summoned Deputy Director Liang Bojun and gave instructions;

Now is the best opportunity to avoid the nonsense that Britain, France and other countries talk about about international intervention, bullying of the weak, and influence on the situation in the Americas.

If the news is correct

Richard chose Count Dong Jie to be transferred to the Imperial Government as the Governor of Central America, specifically responsible for the economic construction and government affairs of the Central Plains Province, the Strait Province, the Zhennan Province, the Costa Rica Province and the Panama Province, and to further accumulate the qualifications of a high-ranking official in order to prepare for entering the center.

.

The Yukon Territory and British Columbia also obtained the same rights to popular self-government based on previous compromises. The two provinces joined forces to pass a popular self-government resolution and became the Yukon Dominion.

since last year

Will the Austro-Prussian War break out in June?

With this matter in his mind, Richard suddenly came up with a bold idea;

The British promoted the popular autonomy resolution and merged the Canadian provinces, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia into the Canadian Federation, becoming the earliest autonomous dominion among the British colonies and gaining de facto autonomous status.

London has a standard policy of practical interest. As long as maintaining a fragile and sensitive relationship with the Tang Empire is in line with its global interests, it will not do irrational things and become too obsessed with the Yukon issue.

As for the Central Plains Province, which was formed by the merger of three small Central American countries, Emperor Richard has already decided who will lead the construction.

There are several remote provinces in the northwest and central part of the British Canadian Colony. Due to sparse population, the local people are not interested in autonomy. They are still in the status of colonial provinces of the British Empire and are unwilling to mix with Canada or the Yukon Territory.

Liang Bojun did not dare to neglect. After recording the decree, he immediately bowed deeply and retired, busy summoning the cabinet and drafting the decree.

What's more, what if you fall out?

The rapid development of the Tang Empire's strength and the geostrategic advantage of dominating North America gave Emperor Richard full confidence.

As a master who couldn't bear loneliness, he wanted to go to Europe to witness this massive and fierce war, which would not last long anyway.

At this time, we are in an awkward transition period.

He did not mind a head-on fight with Britain. If the British Empire blocked the Atlantic trade route to Europe, the Tang Empire would dare to send troops to Australia and even Southeast Asia, thereby threatening its Indian colonial rule.

After this idea sprouted in Richard's mind, it began to grow like a weed.

Since the end of last year

It has been 20 years since the establishment of the empire, and Richard is only 37 years old. He looks much younger than his actual age. He has no place to release his abundant energy. He is not willing to spend all day making little people in this huge palace.

By the time the war in Europe was over, the situation in Central America had settled and became an established fact.

In terms of time planning, it is completely in time. First, an inspection of the central and northern provinces of the empire should start in mid-May. This is basically an annual routine and will not cause excessive interpretation by the outside world.

By then, it will take 12 to 13 days to take a fast cruise ship from Detroit to the Kingdom of Prussia.

If you conceal your identity and return quickly, it won't cause much trouble.

Well, let’s do it!
