Wild North America 1846

April 1859

The news of the Southern Army's victory in the first Kansas Battle reached the court of Chang'an, and everyone rejoiced and sang praises to the emperor in unison.

Now they can happily send large-scale supplies to the south again, earning a fortune from the war. By the way, the price will continue to rise a lot, and this will satisfy the black-hearted capitalists.

Weapons and ammunition, which are in short supply, have increased by seven or eight times (compared to pre-war prices). It is not an exaggeration. Canned food, beef jerky, etc., have increased by three or four times. Two or three times is enough, otherwise the shortage of supplies will not be reflected.

Both the south and the north are desperately expanding their armies, and the Tang Kingdom itself is also expanding its army. How can there be so many supplies?

It was better for Datang Kingdom to have its own strategic reserves. All the equipment replaced by the whole army was sold to the south, including weapons, military uniforms, belts, water bottles, etc., only the harness and saddle set were not sold. The Tang Kingdom is expanding its cavalry on a large scale, and it is not enough for itself.

Chang'an, Daming Palace Imperial Garden

"Hahahaha... This business is doing well. You won the Desert Railway and Fort Hugo without firing a single shot. You guys from the General Staff Headquarters have finally done something serious. Not bad, really good!"

Li Cha praised repeatedly in a happy mood. Seeing that the heads of the two sides of the United States are now beaten into dog brains, he sleeps soundly, and his energy is also good. He eats well!
His Majesty is in a good mood, and the whole court is filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. The praised Chief of Army Staff General Dai Changfu (promoted) narrowed his smiling eyes, and the deputy chief of staff, Lieutenant General Kahn, Lieutenant General Mike Rabiot was all proud, and said with a smile;

"Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, our military department just took advantage of it. Anyway, the southerners owe us more than enough."

"Hey hey... I wish your majesty the joy of expanding the territory in advance, my Great Tang Empire is booming!"

"My minister congratulates me."

Several military chiefs congratulated repeatedly, inadvertently revealing the reference of "Great Tang Empire" in their words, seeing His Majesty smiling and not caring, a few veterans secretly met their eyes, and they knew it.

In due course, the name should be changed.

This is also related to the vital interests of the major families. If the current king can go one step further to establish the Tang Dynasty and reproduce the glory of the empire thousands of years ago in North America, it will be a grand event related to the entire Chinese nation, enough to be recorded in history forever .

The emperor eats meat, and the servants of the dragon who follow the emperor can also drink some soup. The top aristocratic titles that were unimaginable before seem to be beckoning to everyone now!

It is not uncommon to have a hereditary marquis. If he has made great contributions to the stability and stability of the country, is the entire duke title too much?
Mexicans can make an emperor. The small Fusang country has a small territory and has an emperor. I heard that North Korea is also going to have an emperor. What talents does the French emperor Napoleon III have?
Thinking of this, the hearts of these veterans are filled with enthusiasm...

Royal garden
Several trusted ministers accompanied His Majesty to visit the Royal Garden. At this time, the spring is warm and the flowers are in full bloom under the bright sunshine of San Francisco. The air is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

On the Longevity Mountain not far away, the roar of lions and tigers can be heard faintly. This is the season of rejuvenation, and it is also the time for animals to go into heat. The world is full of infinite vitality.

Li Cha's tall figure walked in front with his hands behind his back, chatting with several veteran ministers, talking wherever he thought of;
"Is Peel City ready?"

"Qizou Your Majesty, the military does not dare to slack off on all matters related to combat readiness. All relevant river crossing boats have been arranged and properly stored in the river bend. The surrounding area has always been listed as a military restricted area, and unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited."

"Well, everything is forewarned, even if you don't need these things, it's always right to have an extra layer of preparation."

"Your Majesty is holy, according to the height of the temple, he can plan a strategy thousands of miles away, and he knows everything big and small in his chest, which is far beyond the reach of ministers and others."

"I'm so sorry, Ai Qing. By the way, don't put too many recruits in the Salt Lake City military base. For the time being, let's expand the army to six division-level establishments, four in the Central Military Region, and one in each of the North and South Military Regions."

"My minister would like to obey the holy order, and start to deal with it immediately after returning."

"How are the recruits doing now?"

"His Majesty, since 1859, the average monthly recruits from the mainland have been about two Class A divisions, which has fully met the goal planned by the General Staff Headquarters. In addition, the military has reduced the training period through reasonable adjustments to save costs. The cost of individual soldiers under the initiative has been reduced by 43 yuan compared with the previous period, which has been highly affirmed by the Ministry of Finance and other relevant ministries and commissions."

"Longfu loves you, all the ministers in the cabinet are dedicated to the public, the finance minister also has difficulties, the military department has the military department's considerations, and some political disputes focus on the overall situation, and peace is the most important thing. This is the best way. "

"My minister understands that he must abide by the hadith and reflect on himself three times a day."

"Well, what do you think of Fan Pengfei?"

"Clean and self-disciplined, decisive in strategy, and have the style of a general, he can be entrusted with important tasks."

"Among the generals?"

"This man is loyal and reliable, has an excellent sense of the overall situation, and acts with propriety. He is quite outstanding among the young and middle-aged generals. He can be ranked as the best among the generals, ranking among the top five."

"Isn't this low evaluation?"

"Your Majesty knows that no one can say anything against his will in front of His Majesty, even the minister dare not."

"How long has he been with the General Staff?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this person was transferred from the position of Xueshan Division Commander of the Southern Military Region to the Military Training Department at the end of August last year. It has been more than seven months."

"Then let's practice for a few more months and consider transferring to the deputy commander of the Northern Military Region. General Liu Wu (Liu Wu) is not capable enough to take charge of the Northern Military Region. He will exchange positions with General Chen Chuan. Your military department has an idea in mind." gone."

"Wei Chen understands."

Admiral Dai Changfu bowed to accept the order, followed by Lord Kahn and Lord Mike Rabiot, who also heard it, bowed and saluted without saying a word, and did not dare to intervene.

The top military positions such as the Commander of the Royal Guards and the Commander of the Northern Military Region have always been decided by His Majesty, and there is no room for outsiders to comment.

Even if you don't understand it in your heart, you can only go back and think about it yourself.

In this way

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan is about to take charge of the important northern military region. With the addition of Lieutenant General Duan Debiao, the former deputy commander, Major General Fan Pengfei, the new deputy commander, and Major General Lei Jueshen, the chief of staff of the military region, the rudiments of the main corps chief of the war against the United States have emerged.

some of

Lieutenant General Chen Chuan is the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, so there is no doubt about his loyalty, and he is also the senior officer of the others, so he has no difficulty in commanding him, just like giving orders.

Lieutenant General Duan Debiao, Major General Fan Pengfei, and General Lei Jueshen are all senior generals of the Expeditionary Force who have participated in the fierce battle in Crimea in Europe. They have rich experience in fighting fierce battles, strong willpower, and outstanding commanding ability. talent.

Such a regiment of northern corps chiefs is naturally the elite of the kingdom's army.

If another 6 Class-A field divisions are planned to be built, then the Kingdom will expand to 18 Class-A field divisions, including 8 in the Central Military Region, 7 in the Northern Military Region, and 2 in the Southern Military Region (stationed in Jinling and Chihuahua). 1 military region (in Panama).

A Grade A division in the Tang Kingdom has a total of 1.2 soldiers, and 18 Field Grade A divisions have 21.6 soldiers, including 4 cavalry divisions.

The 3 divisions under the Royal Guards were expanded into 6 divisions, with a total of 7.2 soldiers, including 4 cavalry divisions (each cavalry division contains a cuirassier regiment).

Coupled with the second-level division in his hands, the Tang Kingdom can use nearly 30 troops at a time. This is the greatest force in history, and it makes people feel excited just thinking about it.

These well-trained elite forces are not comparable to the militiamen of the Yankees. Leading such an elite army, Richard is confident in defeating and destroying the Yankees' million-strong army in the field.

walk among the flowers

Li Cha is in a very happy mood at the moment, what a good era this is, it has created an extremely relaxed environment for the heroes who intend to expand.

None of the powers in the world is idle. After the westward expansion strategy, the old Maozi of Tsarist Russia turned around and conspired with Britain, France and other countries in the Second Opium War to bully the cowardly Manchu Qing government and blackmailed 2 people again. The vast land of 151 square kilometers, the harvest made him ecstatic.

Before and After the Crimean War
Britain has successively launched more than 10 foreign expansion wars around the world, such as the Zulu War in South Africa, the second Anglo-Burmese War, the second Opium War, the second Anglo-Afghan War, and continuously launched invasions in the Indian subcontinent. After conquering the Punjab kingdom in 2, they completed the great cause of colonizing the Indian subcontinent.

now this time
France and the Kingdom of Sardinia came together because of their common interests. Emperor Napoleon III of France tried to expel the dominant position of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Italian Peninsula through an alliance with the Kingdom of Sardinia and realize his territorial expansion ambitions.

Adhering to the dream of unifying the Italian peninsula, the Kingdom of Sardinia has organized two consecutive anti-Austrian wars since 1849, and suffered disastrous defeats due to its inferior strength.

Having learned the lessons of the previous two failures, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, CB Cavour, did not hesitate to introduce French forces to dance with wolves. He promised France to send troops to assist the Kingdom of Sardinia. After expelling the Austrian forces from Lombardy and Venice, Sardinia Ceded Savoy and Nice to France.

Until July 1859

The 5.6 troops of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the 11.6 troops of France entered the Piedmont region, challenging the Austro-Hungarian army entrenched in the region.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on the Kingdom of Sardinia and sent 17 troops across the Ticino River. The war between the two sides was imminent, and Europe would once again fall into the turmoil and anxiety of war.

At this time, the Tang Kingdom should do something...

Thinking of the footsteps that Li Cha stopped, he thought about it and said; "The world situation is already so turbulent, and the Kingdom Army, which has been tempered for a long time, should also show its fangs. You plan to use the newly reorganized 4 field battles of the Central Military Region in the near future. The division took down Tijuana, and it is now an actual combat training, let's see how the training has been during this period of time?"

"The ministers obey the order."

Several bigwigs in the military department happily bowed to accept the order, this is not... the credit is coming again...
