Wild North America 1846

Chapter 359 is nothing more than the word "interest"

The generosity of the Kingdom of Tang was beyond the expectations of the Confederate States of America (South). Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Secretary of State Henry Daniel, Secretary of the Treasury Robert Jr., Southern Army Commander-in-Chief Robert Lee and other high-level government officials were rewarded Manman, especially the most urgent population issue at present, has all received positive responses from the Datang Kingdom government.

The Southern Corps will begin to move to the Eastern Front in mid-May, and the immigrant population will also enter the Confederate States of America (South) through the Southern Railway from mid-to-late May.

President Jefferson Davis also generously promised that Chinese male immigrants do not need to bring anything, as long as they go, the southern government will make all the arrangements.

Okay, this is really too anxious to jump into the river.

The war has lasted to the fifth year. Seeing that it is not possible to end the war this year, there are more than 5 million white women in the country, old and young, without a man, and countless young girls have become big girls. How can this be done, my child?

The officers and soldiers of the Southern Corps did not need to set up any logistics service stations at all. The white women flocked to the station, which could fully meet all the needs of the officers and soldiers, and they could be squeezed dry...

In later generations, there is a movie "Cold Mountain" that reflects the period of the American Civil War. It tells the story of a Confederate deserter who traveled thousands of miles to return home. so it is.

If the will is a little weaker, it is likely to stay in the local area.

Nov. 1861, 4

The king promulgated a new appointment, removing Viscount Dong Jie from the post of chief secretary of the royal family and chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and newly appointed him as the governor of the Great Lakes, who is fully responsible for the production recovery and urban reconstruction of the states in the central North American plains. .

The importance of this job is no less than that of a high official in California.

Viscount Dong Jie is one of the emerging leaders of the "National Power Party" known as the royalist party. His eyes are on the re-election of the cabinet prime minister in more than four years, which is a political arrangement for the royal government to replace the old with the new.

The Prime Minister of the Tang Kingdom changes every five years. The current Prime Minister Liu Xianjun is the leader of the "Democratic Party for Justice and Liberty", referred to as the "Public Freedom Party". It has been less than a year since he took office after winning the election in June last year.

All of this was driven by King Richard. The political arena initially realized a pattern of two parties taking turns in power. The former prime minister, Earl Gu Yan, is now the speaker of the House of Nobles, continuing to exert his residual heat.

The appointment of the new head of the secretariat has attracted wide attention, and finally fell to Baron Zheng Yuan, a high-ranking official in the north. Baron Zheng Yuan had been the deputy director of the secretariat for seven and a half years, and was later transferred to the post of a high-ranking official in the north. The development of the two cities is in full swing and has been widely praised by the public.

This time, he returned to the Royal Secretariat with outstanding achievements and assumed the important position of director, which shows that His Majesty the King values ​​this person and intends to cultivate him as a candidate for the next Prime Minister.

Say one more word

Baron Zheng Yuan is an important figure in the "Democratic Party of Justice and Liberty" and is also a representative of emerging forces within the party. His new appointment will undoubtedly strengthen his position and voice in the party, and his appeal will increase.

In the court of Daming

The vast Taiye Pool reflects the beautiful scenery of many palaces. The largest island in the lake is called Pudu Island, with a radius of about 1.3 square kilometers and a peak of 177 meters. The peak is beautiful and straight, and the scenery is charming.

A nine-story exquisite pagoda about 49 meters high is built in the lush mountains and forests, which is called "Nine Turns Pudu Pagoda". .

The climate in Chang'an in early May is sunny, comfortable and pleasant, and the island is full of blooming flowers. It is really a good place to visit and explore.

In the waterfront palace

King Li Cha was wearing a light-colored Taoist robe, sitting sideways on the couch drinking tea, holding a scroll and reading with a leisurely expression, like a fairy.

Zheng Yuan, the new head of the secretariat, walked in lightly and silently with a few documents in one hand, and whispered;

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to say that the delegation of the Confederate States of America government has returned by special train after reaching more than a dozen close cooperation agreements with the Royal Government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and senior officials of the Army Staff Headquarters will accompany President Jefferson Davis and his party , visited the provinces of Chihuahua and Jinling in the south."

"Well, this is what should be done." Li Cha put down the scroll in his hand, looked up at Director Zheng Yuan with a respectful expression, and exhorted;

"The kingdom's long-term policy in North America is to fight one by one. As an ally with a solid foundation, it needs more sincere help to the Confederate States of America (the South) and strengthens its influence in the political, military and economic circles. power and keep the long-term friendly policy unchanged.

When dealing with the United States of America (Northern), we must be vigilant and preventive. In any case, this is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. It is the challenge and fateful strategic opponent that Datang Kingdom will face now and in the future. main idea.

The kingdom's North American policy is based on me, and the core is the interests of the Tang Kingdom.

At this stage

The North American War will continue until May to June next year or later, which is more in line with the interests of the Kingdom.

Only by standing on the right ground can you not make mistakes. The demands of allies will only be considered after satisfying the interests of the kingdom. There is no harm in killing more young and strong white people, and they will be more obedient. "

"Your Majesty's instruction, I will remember it in my heart, and I dare not forget it for a moment." Zheng Yuan knew that it was His Majesty reminding him, so he saluted very gratefully.

Li Cha waved his hand lightly indifferently, and asked, "What else is there?"

Zheng Yuan quickly took out the document under his armpit, opened it, and reported the report; "The British cabinet recently sent a diplomatic letter, expressing deep concern about the military actions of the Tang Kingdom's troops entering the eastern states of the United States, and hoping to restrain the military. stop the senseless massacre and plunder, and respond to the call for international mediation as soon as possible with a responsible attitude of a civilized country..."

"Well, is there anything else?" Li Cha interrupted the report impatiently.

The British guy sends a diplomatic letter almost every one or two months, repeating the same old tune about restraining war behavior, responding to calls for international mediation, and expressing deep concern...

It's so annoying, I can hear the calluses in my ears.

The Brits are like twittering robins, always chirping in my ears. The Temple cabinet set up obstacles on international trade issues from time to time, suppressing the steel trade for a while, and suppressing the wool trade for a while. Things are going on and on.

London's intentions are very obvious. If Datang Kingdom wants to solve similar international trade problems, it will always take the initiative to negotiate with London, so these British guys have something to do.

Isn't the Datang Kingdom going its own way in North America?Want to expand the scope of the war and take the Great Plains of North America as your own?Isn't it indulged in the army's bloody suppression of white towns, burning, killing and looting?Will the brazen invasion of the wealthy and prosperous states on the east coast of the United States cause great harm to the interests of the white Anglo-Americans...

So many questions, then you can sit down and talk about it.

Under the leadership of King Richard, he turned a blind eye to the difficulties of the United Kingdom in international trade and did not listen to them. No matter how you dance, I will ignore you.

The loss of international trade for a while can always be made up later.

In terms of trade with Europe, the focus was on expanding international trade with France, Prussia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Kingdom of Italy. Instead of shrinking, the total international trade showed a trend of substantial growth.

Although the market in the British Isles is rich, the population size is there after all.

The wider European market is the key public relations object of Datang Kingdom's international trade, which is conducive to greatly diversifying trade risks, cultivating new markets and further strengthening industrial production capacity.

since this year
Datang Kingdom is committed to promoting the "Liu Xianjun Policy", which is Datang Kingdom's version of the "Monroe Doctrine", and sent many groups of diplomatic envoys to visit Central and South American countries. Either being gentle, or forced by naked military threats, they signed a series of extremely favorable trade treaties with these countries, further opening up the Central and South American markets.

nowadays

The trade treaty between Datang Kingdom and Brazil is under negotiation, and a fleet will go to Brazil in the near future, using cold guns to teach those high-level Brazilian politicians who are vacillating, and repeatedly emphasize the "Liu Xianjun Policy" to make those Brazilians think Who is the boss of America now?

The tyranny and military hegemony of the Tang Kingdom is now well known in the Americas. Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay and other South American countries have succumbed under pressure. What is left now is South America’s largest The national Brazil is still standing upright, and it has not had time to free up its hands to clean him up.

Therefore, King Richard was very impatient with the British man's irritability, and replied with a frown; "This matter follows the usual practice, and the prime minister of the cabinet can reply. The same is true for the diplomatic concerns of other countries, and they will be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is no need to report to the imperial court."

Speaking of here
His words paused, and he tapped his finger on the rosewood tea tray and said thoughtfully; "I remember that when the American Civil War started, the British government's public position was neutral. The South supported the North for a while, but the government's public position seems to have not changed, right?"

"This... I need to go back and check the information, but in my memory, the British government's public policy has not changed and remains neutral."

"Then make a fuss about it and accuse London of funding the war in the North, greatly disrupting the situation in North America and bringing more disasters to all parties involved in the war. This is an extremely irresponsible and wrong behavior that should be corrected." When King Richard said this, he couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He also had a headache from being annoyed by the British, so he continued; "With this, the half-year lip-service lawsuit between the cabinet and the British should not be a problem. This year can almost be fooled, let's talk about it next year."

"I understand that I should convey the sacred meaning clearly and unmistakably. There is one more thing that His Majesty must be happy about. After four and a half years of construction, the Northern Railway has been successfully put into trial operation. It is estimated that there will be more than two months to complete the remaining work. The Northern Railway The whole line will be handed over for operation. Congratulations to Your Majesty, another main railway line has been added to the north of the kingdom." Zheng Yuanzhi reported with a happy face.

Li Cha was really overjoyed, he slapped the table excitedly and said;
"It's really not easy! This northern railway was built to Helena, and it crossed the cold and snowy Rocky Mountains. During the period, tens of thousands of hard laborers were killed and injured. Now it has finally been completed. Congratulations! Pass the king's will, traffic The Ministry and related construction personnel will all be rewarded."

"My minister complies with the order, and on behalf of the Ministry of Communications and related engineering construction personnel, I would like to thank His Majesty Long En."

"Hahahaha... Another railway artery has been added to the north of the Kingdom. The layout of the national railway network is becoming more and more perfect. It will be a great help for the Northern Legion to manage the occupied area. Good... very good!"

Due to the substantial expansion of the Tang Kingdom during the North American War, the original plan for the northern railway line was also greatly extended due to actual needs.

The original proposed Northern Railway started from Seattle, went west through Yakima, and arrived at Spokane at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.

Then the railway project has to climb more than 130 kilometers of mountains, and use 23 tunnels and 119 bridges to add traffic arteries. After climbing the snowy Rocky Mountains all the year round, it will go west to Helena, the capital of Montana.

nowadays

The Northern Railway continues to extend eastward from Helenas. After arriving at Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota (formerly North Dakota), the railway line turns southeast and reaches Minneapolis, the capital of Minnesota, after hundreds of kilometers. , and from here it continues to extend southeast for hundreds of kilometers, and finally reaches Milwaukee, an important city along the Great Lakes.

Milwaukee is the eastern terminus of the Northern Railroad, from where it is connected to Chicago via the Southern Railroad, thus forming the backbone of the Northern Railroad Network.

The three main railway arteries from west to east, the Northern Railway, the Central Railway and the Southern Railway, constitute a "King"-shaped backbone railway network, plus the north-south railway arteries along the Pacific Railway, the Central Railway, the Mexican Railway and the Great Lakes Railway. Form a backbone railway network covering the whole country.

The Northern Railway is a missing item in the national railway network. Now that it has finally been drawn, it will greatly enhance the Kingdom's ability to rule the Great Plains in central North America, and will also greatly enhance the Kingdom's military operations against the United States of America (North). It is of great significance to be able to support more than 50 troops in combat operations.

With the official opening of the Northern Railway, the Tang Kingdom has the ability to launch a large-scale decisive battle against the United States of America (Northern) at any time.

As for when to use such a decisive battle ability, it can be determined according to the needs, rather than being put into practice hastily.

Next step;
After the Colorado Corps in the south is repaired, it will start from Cincinnati and launch offensive operations against West Virginia. Specifically, it will implement the "scorched earth policy" to annihilate as much of the US Northern Army as possible, creating large-scale social panic and refugees The tide will further attack the war potential of the US North.

The Northern Corps in the north expanded along the Great Lakes to the depths of Ohio, targeting Cleveland, the state capital, and Pittsburgh, an industrial city not far from Cleveland, also implementing the "scorched earth policy."

The southerners who have tasted the "scorched earth policy" know how vicious this policy must be, but it is also very effective, weakening the enemy's war capabilities immediately.

Li Cha also has a selfish heart;
He hopes that the continuous attacks will cause a large number of casualties among young and middle-aged whites in the north, reduce the population of the northern United States to less than 20 million people, and return the social development to 30 or even [-] years ago.
