Wild North America 1846

200 Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the largest coastal city in the northeast of the United States of America. It has a long history of development, dating back as far as 1 years ago. It is one of the oldest cities in the United States.

The famous "Boston Tea Party" event in the history of American independence, which eventually triggered the American Revolutionary War, took place in Boston.

The Chinese people are most impressed by Harvard University and Boston lobster. Boston lobster is a local specialty and is famous all over the world for its delicious taste.

Boston can be said to be the city of education in the United States. As early as 1635, the British Puritans founded the Boston Latin School, the first public school in the United States. In 1636, Harvard University, the first university in the United States, was established.Both Harvard University and MIT are located in the Boston metropolitan area, giving the city a strong intellectual atmosphere.

After the visit of Emperor Li Cha of the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by a group of military and political officials, he inspected Harvard University and spoke highly of the school's tireless cultivation of high-level talents for 226 years.

Wherever you want

His Majesty the Emperor temporarily announced that the royal family will invest 100 million Tang Yuan for this famous institution to expand its enrollment, expand its library and school buildings, and build it into a world-class university.

The accompanying staff approached the school with winking vigor, and after investing 100 million Tang Yuan, they quickly obtained 56% of Harvard University's equity, and the school was renamed the Royal Harvard University. The position of chairman of the board of directors will become a customary rule and will be passed on.

Boston is built on a peninsula, connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, and surrounded by Massachusetts Bay and Back Bay, the mouth of the Charles River.

Early European immigrants originally named it Three Hills City based on the three small hills here, and later renamed it according to the hometown of some outstanding figures in the immigration-Boston, England.

In the early 1770s, the British tried to fully control the 13 colonies, mainly through taxation, and imposed tyranny on the British colonies. The oppression prompted the Bostonians who yearned for freedom to launch an independent revolution.

The Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Affair, and several early battles in the American Revolutionary War—Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston—all took place in or near the city.

So, this is a very symbolic East Coast city.

"These political events have shaped the history of the nation, and are shaping the minds of the people who have come to this great country, in which Boston has played a leading role." - Henry Cabot Lodge.

For a period of time after the independence of the United States, because Boston was the closest major port to Europe in the United States, it rapidly developed overseas trade, exported rum, fish, salt and tobacco to Europe, and became the richest international commercial port in the world today. one.

During this period, some descendants of famous Boston families became the elites of American society and culture; they were later jokingly called "Boston Brahmins".

During the inspection by His Majesty the Emperor, it is planned to build a nine-story pagoda with Chinese characteristics on the top of Dengta Mountain, and name it "Oriental Pagoda". Religious and cultural exchanges. …

The project is supervised by the "104 Red Rock Valley Division" of the Northern Army Corps stationed here, hoping to spread Dongfeng culture, expand the influence of local Chinese immigrants, and enhance cultural exchanges among various ethnic groups.

Since the "104th Red Rock Valley Division" of the Northern Legion entered Boston, more than a dozen famous local families with malicious intentions have been imprisoned for crimes such as conspiracy and riot. The so-called "Boston Brahmins" have been hit hard by the military. , in fact no longer exists.

Emperor Li Cha stood on the highest Lantern Hill, surrounded by a large number of military and government officials. He looked at this beautiful port city on the east coast between the hill and the river, and there were almost no traces of war.

He suddenly asked; "This place is full of tranquility and peace, is it a city that has not been affected by the flames of war?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Boston is the most important city in the northeast. The Chang'an Cavalry Corps fought on the outskirts of the city for more than two weeks, and most of the nearby fields and villages were destroyed. The city has also been attacked by sheep several times, but the local militia I failed to succeed in the desperate resistance, so the traces of the war are not obvious."

"Peace is better! This way the people will not be affected by the flames of war." Li Cha sighed lightly, and gave Admiral Chen Chuan a dull look.

Admiral Chen Chuan was shocked by the staring figure, and the cold sweat on his back was frightened. He bowed his head and bent down to express his extreme humility, and he didn't dare to say any rebuttal words.

He secretly cried out in his heart;

It's all because of the bastards of the Chang'an Cavalry Corps. They said that the cavalry was not equipped with heavy siege artillery, and it was difficult to destroy the solid defensive positions outside.

His Majesty the Emperor was an out-and-out Han chauvinist, and he never showed mercy to these white pariahs. After the North American War ended, most of the coastal cities of New York, Philadelphia and Boston remained intact.The means are not vicious enough, and the actions are not thorough enough. The Chang'an Cavalry Corps is responsible for a lot of crimes.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Duan Debiao, the chief of the Chang'an Corps, was transferred to the Southern Military Region after the war.

The chiefs of the other major corps are different. According to the rumors from the palace, the duke title is basically a certainty, and the gap between miles and miles is huge.

What does it mean?
It means that Lieutenant General Duan Debiao's sacred volume is not here, and it is estimated that it will be idle in the future, and there will be no chance to lead the corps to fight independently.

Look at the former commander of the Colorado Corps, General Harry Freche, who is now promoted to the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army Staff Headquarters. He holds the title of Duke of the Empire and is waiting for Duke Dai Changfu to take over when he is in the second line!

why?

Just because Admiral Harry Fritsch carried out His Majesty's resolute will, he dealt extremely heavy blows to the U.S. military in previous battles, and the thorough execution of the campaign of clearing the countryside and suppressing bandits almost wiped out Kansas, Missouri and Indiana. The policy of vacating the cage and changing the bird has laid a solid foundation.

Such courtiers are not reused, but lieutenant general Duan Debiao who has a heart of compassion?
In the 1820s, Boston's demographics began to change dramatically due to the arrival of the first wave of European immigration.A large number of Irish and Italians immigrated to the city, bringing Roman Catholicism to the city. …

By the end of 1861, the Catholic Church was the largest religious group in Boston, the Irish began to play an important role in Boston politics, and the Protestantism in England took a back seat.

Nowadays, Boston's manufacturing industry has overwhelmed international trade in importance, and Boston is still one of the important manufacturing centers in the United States, especially famous for clothing and leather products, with more than 110 factories of all sizes.

It is also one of the few remaining industrial cities in the United States of America (North).

This is also the source of His Majesty's dissatisfaction. How dare Admiral Chen Chuan speak too much at this time?

Li Chaqing couldn't blame Admiral Chen Chuan, so after saying a word, he went down the mountain with a slightly displeased expression.

half way

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked: "Are the evidences seized by the Boston Brahmins accurate, and can they withstand cross-examination by the British?"

Admiral Chen Chuan bowed and answered;
"Show Your Majesty;
These so-called Boston Brahmin families colluded with each other and did a lot of evil on a daily basis. They raised gunmen and cavalry to kill people wantonly, robbed beautiful women, dominated fields and seized property, which can be said to be bloody and debt-ridden, and extorted workers and farmers. No one is clean.

These rough northerners of the United States have no aristocratic demeanor at all, and they eat very ugly. They almost regard Boston as their own place to do evil, and the local white residents dare not speak out about this.

Moreover, they dared to commit crimes on the street in broad daylight. They once shot and killed former Boston mayor John Myers in the street just to deter ordinary people. "

"Well, we need to use this case as a breakthrough point to investigate all the way, wipe out all the thugs involved, and at the same time have conclusive evidence, do you understand?" Li Cha ordered in a more serious tone.

Admiral Chen Chuan's expression was serious, and he raised his hands solemnly and replied; "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Northern Legion will never allow any bad elements to escape, and will use this as a breakthrough to win word of mouth and get real evidence."

"When necessary, we can join the trial with the British. Although we are not afraid of the British intervention, there is no need to spoil the bilateral relationship. We must pay attention to the method." Li Cha explained again.

Seeing that General Chen Chuan didn't seem to fully understand, he turned his head and told Director Zheng Yuan, "After you get back, find some time to sit with General Chen."

"I obey." Director Zheng Yuan respectfully accepted the order.

He understood better than anything in his heart that what His Majesty meant was that the Northern Legion should not swallow all the benefits, and just distribute some to the British bosses, so as to save them from being annoyed by listening blindly.

These dozens of "Boston Brahmins" are connected with each other and marry each other, forming an intricate and stubborn local interest system.

Only in this kind of extraordinary period of war, the Tang Empire garrison iron fists attacked and took down all three, seven and twenty-one, like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, naturally there would be no future troubles.

In carrying out His Majesty's order to suppress the parade, the group of people in Boston, together with the police station, went against the grain and did not work hard. Instead, the crowd's demonstrations became more and more powerful. …

This forced the 104th Division of the Northern Army to make a big move, sweeping up the municipal officials, the police station, the tax bureau, and a dozen so-called "Brahman Bostons", and suppressed the demonstrations with resolute and iron-blooded means.

But it is also troublesome to set up these "Brahman Bostons", because they are all Protestant Puritan families in England, they are authentic Anglo-Americans, and their ancestors can be traced back to a certain county in England.

Compared with the Irish and Scots, these Anglo-Americans are authentic Anglo-Saxon whites, with the same religious beliefs and the same ethnicity, they are old and authentic British fellows.

Engaging them without real evidence will inevitably cause an uproar.

His Majesty's idea is very good. Letting the British elders participate in the trial is tantamount to pulling them into one camp, and it will be good for everyone to share the spoils.

These white English families have been operating in Boston for more than 200 years. The family business covers both urban and rural areas of Boston, including factories, shops, buildings, and fields, accounting for more than 1/3 of the wealth in Boston.

This huge wealth, even during the war, was as high as tens of millions. As long as you can get your hands on it, you can eat a lot of fat. Isn't Britain always tempted?
What religion, what nationality, what hometown?

In the face of naked interests, that's nothing. If you don't uproot the dozen or so "Boston Brahmin" families, as well as the wealth of those powerful figures in the municipal, police, and taxation departments that are subordinate to them, how can they confiscate their wealth? Can large sums of money be divided?
The British elders understand this truth better than anyone else. They started out as robbers, and doing such things is absolutely malicious and will not leave any future troubles.

From an imperial perspective;
If you want to comprehensively deepen the infiltration and control of the United States of America, these white interest groups that have not hurt their vitality in the war are all within the scope of the attack, and they can be strictly investigated through laws or tax evasion. Resisting dimensionality reduction blows.

From the day capital was born, blood and filth dripped from every pore.

This is the case in the UK, the Tang Empire, and the northerners of the United States. It is really not easy to find out the facts of crimes in them!
Back to the temporary palace

Director Zheng Yuan held a copy of the latest briefing in his hand, and hurriedly came to His Majesty to report.

Li Cha didn't reach out to get it either, but asked Director Zheng Yuan to dictate the report, which turned out to be the latest progress of the international syndicate's 13.75 billion Tang Yuan debt arrangement.

According to Director Zheng Yuan;
After repeated negotiations on behalf of the international loan sharks, the syndicate proposed that the 13.75 billion Tang Yuan should be paid off in two parts, one part for investment and the other part for repayment of loan principal and interest. The interest rate is tentatively set between 8% and 8.6%.

to be frank

Adding up these dozens of international loans, there is almost no war loan with an interest rate lower than 10%, and the highest even reaches 17.5%. Money, in fact, has no ability to repay at all.

The interest rate is tentatively set between 8% and 8.6%. It can be said that the international loan sharks have made a lot of concessions, showing their sincerity.

The key problem is that the current United States of America (North) can't afford it! …

On the eve of the Civil War

The annual national economic output value of the United States of America (Northern) is close to the peak of 18 billion US dollars. After several years of war, inflation has been everywhere, and prices have risen to the sky.

Originally, one U.S. dollar could be exchanged for one Tang Yuan, but now two million U.S. dollars can be exchanged for less than one Tang Yuan.

Those northern elders who bought U.S. dollar war bonds during the war all went bankrupt. The more they bought, the more they lost blood, because the current U.S. dollar bills are just a piece of waste paper.

However, the international loan sharks are lending in hard currencies such as British pounds, francs, and marks, and the repayment of principal and interest is also denominated in their respective currencies, or they accept repayments of equivalent value in Tang Yuan, and it is not acceptable to depreciate to the U.S. dollar that no one wants.

The common people in the United States of America (Northern) Hulong can do it, but those who want Hulong international loan sharks don’t even have doors, they don’t even have windows.

The current United States of America (North) has been broken into tatters. At least in the past two years, there is no money to pay the international loan sharks. And when the economic situation stabilizes, how much of the original average annual output value of 18 billion US dollars will be left?
Maybe, $5 million a year is enough.

What the international loan sharks mean is that part of the debt is counted as investment, and this part is about 3 million Tang yuan, which is used to fully control the Appalachian coal fields, and the principal and interest are repaid based on the annual coal output.

What coal fields are worth more than Manhattan and New York Harbor?

The answer is; the Appalachian coalfields.

The world's largest coal field is on the famous Appalachian Mountains in the United States. There is an Appalachian coal field. The coal reserves extend from northeast to southwest, across nine states in the United States (the state area on the east coast is generally Smaller), the total length is about 1200 meters to 1250 kilometers, the width is about 50-300 kilometers, and the thickness of the coal seam has reached nearly a thousand meters.

The area where coal has been detected is about 18 square kilometers, and the proven coal reserves are as high as 3107 billion tons, which can be described as an endless sea of ​​coal.

mid 19th century
The Appalachian coalfield has become the largest coal production base in the world, accounting for more than 89.6% of the total coal production in the United States, and the annual mining volume is more than 4 million tons.

The value of coal produced here is as high as 1600 million Tang yuan every year, which is the real reason why international loan sharks are eyeing the Appalachian coal fields.

In the competition of comprehensive national strength in the world today, coal and steel are important manifestations of national strength. However, after more than 200 years of intensive coal mining in the United Kingdom, domestic coal resources tend to be exhausted.

The Greater London metropolitan area alone needs to consume 2800 million tons of coal each year for industrial coal and residential heating coal. Only for heating coal, the Greater London metropolitan area needs no less than 1600 million tons of coal every year to maintain a large Coal heating demand for a population of more than 360 million in the London metropolitan area and its surrounding towns.

France is also a country seriously short of coal, and also has a large demand for coal.

The high-quality coal produced here is not worrying about selling, and transporting it to Europe on a large-tonnage steam freighter will cost a lot of money.

The Appalachian coalfield has very superior mining conditions. 99% of the coalfield is a net horizontal coal seam. The coal seam is less than 100 meters from the ground, and the shallowest place is only 1.7 meters.

That is
As long as a 1.7-meter pit is dug, extremely high-quality coal can be dug, which belongs to the world-class shallow coal field.

Open-pit mining can be carried out here, which avoids the danger of underground mining and greatly reduces the time and cost of mining.

Moreover, the quality of the coal here is also very high, almost all of which are anthracite, which can be used directly after mining without processing, which has a high advantage in use.

The large storage capacity and high quality show the great value of the Appalachian coalfield, so international loan sharks are willing to bid 3 million Tang Yuan to acquire this world-class coal mine.

As the United States of America (North) has a small pocketbook, the current President Nick-Jones-Marmont firmly disagrees with this plan, and also does not agree with the average interest level of 8% to 8.6%, which is the highest level of interest that the US government can accept Only 5.5%, it cannot be higher.

This has led to a huge gap between the two sides, and there are many lip service lawsuits to be fought.
