Wild North America 1846

Chapter 207
The train runs all the way, passing through the vast grasslands, lakes, forests and rolling mountains, countless beautiful scenery is left behind, and the steam locomotive roars all the way forward.

Sitting in the luxuriously decorated carriage, Li Cha's eyes looked into the distance, but there was no focus in his eyes, but he fell into deep memories.

The beautiful scenery along the way, the mountains, rivers and lakes have left the figure of the battle, how can it be easily forgotten?

For the first and second battles on the northern front, Li Cha personally led the army down to the Colorado plateau. The route the train passed was the distance they had traveled through the wind and snow, as if they were vividly remembered.

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

Recalling the high-spirited and high-spirited people who used to cross the northern front, galloping the battlefield with ease, always able to avoid the heavily defended areas of the US military, and killing the Yankees on their backs.

Li Cha was still deeply moved by this, all of this is inseparable from the accurate information brought by the Eagle News from the sky, making the deployment of US troops almost impossible to escape.

If you are not sure

Li Cha can also easily subdue weasels, wild cats and other nimble little beasts, and enter the towns occupied by the US military for close investigation, gaining the advantage of unilateral information transparency.

There was no way, Li Cha had too little capital at that time, and he couldn't afford to lose at all.

Fast forward four or five years

Today's thriving Datang Kingdom has somewhat of an industrial, agricultural and population base, and has the spirit and responsibility of a North American power. It is rapidly rising in North America, sharing the great fortune of the Yankees.

This grand fortune gifted by God in the dark is so rich that it is unimaginable, enough to support the Datang Kingdom and the United States to rise side by side in North America, and there is still plenty.

Li Cha firmly believes in this kind of invisible and intangible luck.

It's like the Mongols suddenly rising in the grasslands, erupting for no reason, tyrannical to the point of no reason, and destroying hundreds of countries with a long history 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 vigorously all the way, until it was bruised and swollen in the Tang Kingdom, and it stopped the heinous expansion.

If Li Cha hadn't been carrying a cheat, he really couldn't stop it.

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

Just like a strong man with rough skin and thick flesh, he got up again after being knocked over for the third time, patted the dust on his body as if nothing had happened and surrendered, but it did not affect the future development of the United States.

The poor motherland, China, is different. Man Qing is like an old and dying man. After being easily defeated by the British, French and Eight-Power Allied Forces, even the Fusang devil can come up and step on it. Fallen to the sinking of the Chinese nation for a hundred years...

"Ugh..."

The long whistle of the steam locomotive woke up Li Cha's chaotic thoughts. He took a sip of some cold tea and calmly calculated 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 was generally loved by the French people, so he was able to restore successfully and ascended the throne of French emperor.

In the face of strong pressure from France, the Ottoman Empire succumbed as expected, and handed over the honorary title of "Defender of the Holy Land", which originally belonged to the Tsar's glory, which completely intensified the "Eastern Question".

The so-called "Oriental Issues" are a series of issues surrounding the declining Ottoman Empire, such as Bulgaria, Armenia, Holy Land Jerusalem, Serbia and Montenegro, the Caucasus, and so on.

These areas that originally belonged to the frontier provinces of the Ottoman Empire have now become fat in the mouths of European powers, forcibly intervening in them, which has complicated the problem.

You also want to eat, and he also wants to eat, so naturally there is a fierce dispute, which leads to the "Oriental Issue" becoming a hot issue in Europe.

nowadays

The dull Tsarist Russia has not yet made a formal response, but it can be expected that once the anger of Tsarist Russia is ignited, the whole of Europe will be shaken.

And this... is exactly what Emperor Louis-Napoleon-Poraba III wanted to see, and it was also what Richard wanted to see.

The increasingly chaotic situation in Europe is conducive to the Tang Kingdom to fish in troubled waters.

After swallowing the northern and central eight states of Mexico in one gulp, London's attitude towards the Tang Kingdom became strange.Most of the time, he is lukewarm, picky on some issues of trade and bilateral exchanges, speaks in a strange way, and looks like the big aunt is here and don't mess with me.

Li Cha knew that the British guy was sour.

As a veteran colonist, the Briton doesn't like things out of his 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 give shares to Prince Albert's gold mine, or the communication channels of the upper echelons of London, but is determined by the subordinate position between London and the Tang Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the proud British, the Tang Kingdom is a dog they raised in North America.

When you need to bite the United States, go up and bite hard, and teach the Americans to respect the world hegemony, the British Empire.

decades later
The United Kingdom did the same thing in East Asia, that is, it took a fancy to the Fuso devil, and pushed the Fuso devil to crazily bite the Russian bear, and fought an extremely tragic Russo-Japanese War.

Hundreds of years later, the Yankees did the same thing, deploying two dogs, Fusang and Kimchi, in East Asia at the same time. This is exactly the vicious trick of the British.

London did not expect that in a single oversight, the Tang Kingdom would scrape a large piece of meat from Mexico in the south, and quickly grow from a dog to a tiger, and grow into one of the two North American overlords capable of rivaling the United States.

The speed of its transformation is completely beyond London's expectations. Is it strange to be happy?
The reason why Richard expects to see the Eastern issue continue to simmer is because it will divert a lot of energy from the British, and they will have no time to deal with the Datang Kingdom, thus giving the Datang Kingdom valuable breathing space and room for development.

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

Taking a long breath, Li Cha seemed to want to exhale the depression in his heart.

In this world of the jungle

Strength is the foundation of a country. If you have no strength, people will not pinch you at all, let alone sit together, chat and laugh happily, and discuss world affairs.

The period from now to next year should be the most bumpy stage in the relationship between the Tang Kingdom and Britain.

Li Cha was thinking about how to build a good relationship with the UK, so that the relationship between the two countries must not deteriorate, but he frowned when he thought of the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Henry John Temple, and now this guy is the most aggressive.

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

"A Tang Kingdom dominated by oriental barbarians is full of aggressiveness of grassland peoples, and may become the biggest destabilizing factor 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 obey the rules here."

"I'm not an American lobbyist, and I don't sympathize with those Yankees who spread dangerous ideas of freedom everywhere. It's a place where Irish people are sheltered and dirty. I just care about whether the Tang Kingdom poses a threat to the Canadian colonies?"

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

think about it

In the vast and sparsely populated midwestern part of Canada, there are very few white people. There are only less than 700 people on a land of 7 million square kilometers, which is almost barren.

The population and economic center of the British Canadian colony has always been on the line from Ottawa to Montreal to Quebec, which is a bustling urban belt close to the northern border of the United States, just in the northern states of New York and Vermont.

This bustling city belt has a population of nearly 200 million, which is more than 8% of the total population of the British Canadian colony, and it is an undoubted golden core area.

But here is also very far away from the Midwest. It takes three to four thousand kilometers to cross countless mountains and forests, and travel through thousands of kilometers of inaccessible areas. There are no railways or roads to pass through. It takes at least four months to ride horses or walk. above.

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

After the Datang Kingdom grew rapidly, the British guys began to worry that the Datang Kingdom was thinking about the fat of the British Canadian colony, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The most hateful thing is that Sir Henry John Temple successfully provoked the concerns of the British and deepened this impression, making London public opinion and the upper class suspicious and suspicious of the Tang Kingdom, which became difficult to deal with.

Richard does not deny that he is indeed salivating for the Midwest of Canada, but he has never expressed it publicly, but reiterated it again and again;
It will unswervingly implement the territorial partition treaty with the United Kingdom and fulfill its responsibility as a responsible North American power.

You can still be friends if you don't tell the truth. The most hateful thing about Sir Henry John Temple is that he can't be bought, and he can only watch him speak nonsense.

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

The UK invested heavily 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, and accounted for one-third of the world's industrial 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 to industrialize, Britain has gradually slipped from the throne of the world's factory, and that is what will happen in the next 30 to [-] years.

Now, I must hug this big British leg tightly, and if I am wronged, I will be wronged. Who makes people stronger than us?

There was a light knock on the door of the king's luxury box. Li Cha looked up and saw that Major General Chen Chuan, the chief of the royal family's military attaché office, opened the door and came in. He cupped his fists and saluted respectfully; "Your Majesty, the final stop is Peel City. We will arrive soon, and the important officials of the city are waiting in line at the station, please give instructions from Your Majesty."

"Oh, get ready to get off then."

"I understand, I'm going to arrange related matters." Major General Chen Chuan gave a deep salute, then took two steps back, opened the door and went out, and closed the door gently.

The whole process was soft and silent, like a civet cat.
