1850 American Gold Tycoon.

As for the last call, it was from Robinson in San Francisco.

Robinson told Liang Yao that he had no intention of running for the next governor of California, and hoped that Liang Yao could run for the next governor of California.

"Hasn't the Ottomans already opened the Dardanelles like England and France? At this time, the Ottoman ships can still be sunk by the warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet?"

Fremont took a newspaper from Liang Yao's desk, and sat on the leather sofa beside him to read it. After seeing the news that the Russian Black Sea Fleet sank the Ottoman supply ship, Fremont couldn't help complaining: .

"What's so unusual about this?" Liang Yao said, "England and France need Russia to fight a big defeat."

Britain and France never expected Ottoman to beat Russia by themselves.

If Russia does not win a big battle, how can those politicians in Britain and France fool the Congress and the people of their own countries to start a war against the Russian Empire?
Only a strong Russia can make people feel convincing about the Russian threat theory and get more military spending.

It's just that so far, Britain and France are quite disappointed.

Britain and France originally expected that the Russian Army would be able to give the Ottoman Army a thunderous blow after marching into the lower reaches of the Danube, severely defeating the Ottoman Army and winning a beautiful victory.

Unexpectedly, the gray cattle of Nicholas I fought inseparably with the sick man in West Asia in their eyes in the swamp of the lower reaches of the Danube. The Ottoman army also repelled the Russian army several times and gained the upper hand.

Russia, God of Land, didn't have a good record for a while, and Britain and France can only hope that Russia's Black Sea Fleet can stand up and win a battle so that they have propaganda materials that they can use to make a fuss.

Not only Britain and France hoped that Russia could be restrained, Liang Yao also hoped that Russia could be restrained.

The longer the Crimean war dragged on, the more time he would have to settle the issue of land purchases in Mexico.

Presumably Fillmore thought so too.

"I just didn't expect that Russia, which has an army of millions and is known as the world's largest army, couldn't just run over the Danube all the way, and the front of the soldiers pointed directly at the city of Constantinople." Fremont said with emotion.

The Near East issue has been the hottest topic in the United States in the past six months, and Fremont himself has paid a lot of attention to this war.

"The world's number one army is just the Russian army in Nicholas I's fantasy." Liang Yao said, "This kind of army can only be the most deterrent army in peacetime if people believe that it is the world's number one army .Once you join the battle, you will be exposed for sure.”

After the Great Patriotic War in 1812, the Russian army has been eating the legacy left by Kutuzov and is going downhill.

The Russian army in 1853 was just pretending to bluff people by relying on the Russian army's record in 1812.

In fact, even in the Russo-French War in 1812, the Russian army's battle loss ratio was ugly.

"It seems that you are not optimistic about Russia." Fremont closed the newspaper.

"The equipment of the Russian army may not be better than that of the American militiamen during the War of Independence more than [-] years ago. Do you think a group of militiamen from more than [-] years ago can win this war?" Liang Yao laughed.

With the poor quality of the Russian army and the indescribable logistics, not to mention the joint efforts of Britain and France.Even if it fights alone with the French army, the Russian army has no chance of winning.

It is estimated that the current Russian army may not even be able to bully Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They can only find some face by bullying the Qing Dynasty and Japan in the East.

"Our ancestors fought for independence and freedom in the past, and they were much stronger than the Russian army fighting fiercely on the Danube." Fremont said seriously.

Fremont's grandfather was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and he had heard his grandfather tell stories about the Revolutionary War when he was a child.

He still admires the veterans of the Revolutionary War. Without them, there would be no independent America today.

Liang Yao didn't have so many feelings. There was no true founding father of the United States who gave money and guns, and even sent the Bourbon French army directly to the North American continent to participate in the war.

With North America's own group of militias, whether the United States can become independent from Great Britain is still a matter of debate.

The train made a short stop on its way to Sacramento.

After receiving Liang Yao's telegram, Sven, the president of Global Shipping Company, came to the Sacramento train station early to wait for Liang Yao.

"My big boss, our San Francisco Shipyard has been able to manufacture a dark ship with a standard displacement of barely 1000 tons. When will you give me a whole ship as a flagship? You have cut off all three of my flagships." Now, there is not even a ship that can be sold."

Liang Yao came to Sven because he wanted Swen to go out to sea and search for Nauru Island in the Micronesia region of the Central Pacific Ocean.But as soon as Sven got on the special train, he complained to Liang Yao about the problem of the boat.

The three battleships Roland, Chaoyong, and Yang Wei have all served as Sven's ships successively. The sailors and gunners on board were either recruited by Sven or trained by him himself.

Sven still has deep feelings for these three ships.

It's just that these three ships, Chaoyong, were dispatched to Nagasaki by Liang Yao.

The Roland and the Yang Wei were training to fight against Mexico, and there was not a single warship left.

As for loach wear without ocean-going capabilities, it is naturally impossible for an old captain like Sven to like it.

The only thing Sven can count on now is the nearly thousand-ton displacement dark steamer re-launched by the San Francisco Shipyard for testing.

Of course, Liang Yao is also looking forward to the dark ship built by San Francisco Shipyard.

At the beginning of the design, the Loach class was designed according to the standards of civilian inland waterway ships, so it is not a serious warship.

This time, the San Francisco shipyard took three years to polish the dark steamer. At the beginning of the design, Liang Yao gave the shipyard instructions to develop the ship according to the standards and specifications of warships.

"Don't you have the James Day? This is a big guy with more than [-] tons." Liang Yao laughed.

"No matter how big it is, it's still a civilian ship. Civilian ships can't be as majestic as a warship." Sven still felt that it was not enough.

"The new cannons at the Sacramento Armory haven't been built yet. I'll give you one after the new cannons are installed on this ship to complete the test," Liang Yao said.

"Waiting for new guns? I don't know if we have to wait until the year of the monkey." Sven couldn't help complaining, "I have sailed a warship, but I don't want to sail a civilian boat for a day."

"At the latest, early next year, you'll be able to work on it. Don't be silly, let's talk about business. Have you ever been to the Micronesia region in the Pacific Ocean?"

As he spoke, Liang Yao took out a chart of the Pacific Ocean from the bookshelf behind him and unfolded it on the desktop.Thanks to advances in surveying and navigation technology, maps of this era have become quite accurate.

Except for some small islands in Gadajiao that have not been discovered, and the degree of exploration in the Arctic and Antarctic regions is limited, the main land and islands have almost been discovered.
