Wild North America 1846

Chapter 210 It's not that I don't want to fight

The fortress of Omaha was shocked by the shocking case of internal and external collusion to assassinate His Majesty the King. Brigadier General George Rabiot, the garrison chief in charge of the defense of the fortress, was inevitably implicated, dismissed from all military posts, and imprisoned.

Since the day of the major assassination, the town of Omaha has entered a state of military control throughout the city. Military police with live ammunition guarded all intersections entering and leaving the city, searched and arrested the suspect from house to house.

Over the course of three days, a total of more than 140 suspects and their family members involved in the case were arrested. There were 73 people involved in the case, including only four white military officers, their family members, and servants. Seven businessmen with American background were also arrested. Some of the suspects who infiltrated through channels were immigrants, some were blacksmiths or leather craftsmen, and some were white and Chinese.

The relevant criminals were sent to prisons for strict interrogation, and the masterminds behind the scenes were dug out.

Shangfeng issued a strict order on this;

Any information about the case shall not be leaked, and offenders shall be punished severely.

In the fortress palace

Li Cha stood with his hands behind his back, and below him were the Chief of Staff of the Army, Earl Dai Changfu, Earl Mike Rabiot, and Earl Kahn, who were pleading guilty. The atmosphere was very dignified.

In particular, Count Mike Rabiot was pale and trembling. He knew that the aristocratic ministers who had been involved in such major assassination cases all the time had a very miserable end.

Viscount George Rabiot is his eldest son and the legal heir of Count Rabiot's family. He was originally the most promising successor of the glorious lintel, but he fell into this bottomless pit unexpectedly.

As the commander-in-chief of the fortress garrison, Brigadier General Georges Rabiot must bear unshirkable responsibility for the actions of his subordinates. The lax command of his subordinates made him commit the crime of rebellion, which is actually not much lighter than the crime of treason.

The subordinates can't control it. This is a serious dereliction of duty!

The second member of the Rabio family is Colonel Embiid Rabio, a baron. He is now the deputy commander of the Jinling City Garrison and the general guarding the side.

As the first founding father who followed Richard, many generals in the army were trained by Earl Mike Rabiot, and his prestige is extremely high.

The Rabiot family has three titles in one family and is also one of the top nobles in the Tang Kingdom, with a prominent family background.

"The old minister is guilty, please Your Majesty's forgiveness." Earl Mike Rabiot knelt on the ground with a dejected expression, as if he was 10 years older.

Li Cha stood at the top and was speechless for a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more suffocating, several important ministers didn't dare to breathe below, waiting for His Majesty's order.

Whether this matter can be big or small depends entirely on His Majesty's will.

back in the day
His majesty was furious because of the rude words of Mexican President Santayo. He immediately decided to go to war against Mexico, leading tens of thousands of troops to enter Mexico, leaving millions of dead bodies.

How long has it been since?

The nature of the assassination planned by the Yankees was much worse, and it really threatened the life and safety of His Majesty the King.

Only the wreckage of two American-made heavy machine guns and thousands of hand-crafted copper-cased full-charge bullets found from the ruins of the house make people feel chills in the back.

If it wasn't for His Majesty's miraculous premonition that the Yankee succeeded, the Tang Kingdom might have been completely plunged into civil strife now.

Very thoughtful!

"Count Mike Rabiot, Datang Kingdom does not get involved, so the crimes committed by George will naturally be borne by him. You can handle this matter yourself and let him end himself." Richard turned around, Commanded in a cold tone.

Earl Mike Rabiot trembled uncontrollably when he heard the words, and still suppressed his grief and replied: "The old minister obeys the order, thank you Your Majesty for the extrajudicial grace."

"I remember that George already has several children. Choose the eldest to inherit the title. Remember that you need to be taught by good students. Don't let the younger generation go astray again. It's too late to regret!"

"The old minister leads the decree, please resign from the post of deputy chief of staff, and reply behind closed doors."

"Okay," Richard said, and seized the military power of the Mike Rabiot family. He watched the stooped Earl Mike Rabiot, Shane, retreat, and then set his sights on Earl Dai Changfu and Earl Kahn. body, said in a cold voice;

"The Rabio family is a lesson for you, after you go back, you will clean up your subordinates and children.

Those who can stay will stay, and those who can't be dismissed as soon as possible, so as not to cause disasters for themselves.

If the fence is fastened, there will be no loopholes to exploit.

This matter is strictly ordered, and no one is allowed to spread it to the outside world, so as not to cause domestic public opinion to boil and cause more trouble to the royal court.

The present is not a good opportunity to use force against the United States. We should not rush and use patience. We need to know the truth that you will not die if you beat a snake, but you will suffer from it.

Do you understand? "

"My minister respectfully abides by the holy will and dare not violate it." Dai Changfu and Kahn, two military leaders, saluted respectfully.

"Go down."

"As ordered, I will leave."

In the eyes of Yankees, Dai Changfu and Kahn, the two most formidable and powerful demon generals, together with Earl Harry Fratsch and Earl Mike Rabiot, are called the "Four Great Demon Generals" and are well-known in the United States. It can stop children from crying at night, but they are as obedient as a kitten in front of His Majesty, not daring to get stabbed at all.

Because that is the master, the out-and-out big devil.

In the eyes of these trusted officials of the Tang Kingdom, His Majesty has all kinds of incredible mysterious powers, and has already surpassed the ordinary body and transformed into a god walking in the world.

Just this one glance that can see through the mysterious power in the heart is enough to make people dare not hide their hearts.

There are also mysterious premonitions, the mysterious power that drives birds and beasts, and all kinds of incredible magical powers come together, making people worship and regard it as the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world.

in this world
The monarchs of European kingdoms are generally recognized by the church, and the divine right of kings has been recognized by the world, while the emperors or emperors in the Eastern world are protected by gods and rule the people on behalf of the heavens.

The confidants and ministers of the Tang Kingdom firmly believe that His Majesty the King is the true god walking in the world, and he is omnipotent.

Li Cha knew that he was not that capable, at least he couldn't do anything about the Yankees right now.

The situation of the Americans and Mexicans is different. This is an emerging power that is going all out to industrialize. Its economic strength is also at the second-rate level in Europe, and its military strength is barely enough to reach the third-rate level.

If there is a full-scale war, the Tang Kingdom may not be able to please it.

A careful inventory of the several wars between the Datang Kingdom and the United States will reveal that the Datang Kingdom is good at fighting skillful battles, and there are almost no such head-on sieges.

During the three western expeditions of the United States, the Datang Kingdom was mainly on the defensive. Through continuous raids and harassment, the enemy was exhausted and its food supply was cut off, forcing the US military to actively seek a decisive battle.

Then, based on geographical advantages and weapon advantages, a large number of effective U.S. forces were killed and the final victory was achieved.

According to the sand table deduction results of the Army Staff Headquarters of the Kingdom of Tang;
The Datang Kingdom concentrated twice as many troops to attack Chicago, which has a population of more than 80, while the U.S. military defended heavily. The Datang Kingdom would have to pay a heavy price of at least 8 to 10 people to capture this large American city.

Sending troops on an expedition and stationing at home are two different things, and the degree of resistance of the Americans is also different.

Although the Tang Kingdom has defeated the United States several times, it cannot be said arbitrarily that its military power is stronger than that of the United States.

in the mid 19th century
Wars are fought on the basis of numbers and the supply of logistics and food. As long as there are soldiers, as long as there are guns, bullets, and food, the war can continue until the two sides are exhausted and fall down.

That's why Li Cha didn't dare to rashly start a war with the United States. Even though the pretext for war had been brought before him, he chose to endure it. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight, but that the timing was immature, and the result was half the effort.
