Wild North America 1846

Chapter 404 Considerations for Visiting Abroad
In the dead of night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The lights in the palace study room were still on, Emperor Li Cha was in unbelievably good spirits, and he wasn't tired at all.

After roughly planning the expansion of the colonial landscape in the next few decades, Richard is also very excited about the blueprint of the empire in his dreams. In the turbulent era of the 10th century, opportunities belong to those who are prepared.

Since the British Empire entered the Victorian era, it has been determined to develop. By the end of 1863, its colonies all over the world had expanded from 2200 million square kilometers to 2850 million square kilometers.

it won't take long

With the current rapid expansion of the British Empire, it is expected that in the not-too-distant future, it will reach the peak of 3300 million square kilometers of colonies, achieving the glorious cause of an empire on which the sun never sets.

Nowadays, old colonial powers such as Britain and France are vying for territory all over the world. In order to strengthen the security of the colonies in the Indian subcontinent, the British are successively launching the second Anglo-Burmese war, the second Anglo-Afghan war, annexing Sri Lanka, and even planning to invade Tibet for India. Subcontinental colonies build security flanks.

The French bared their fangs and marched in an all-round way into the Indochina Peninsula, which had long been on their minds.

The first French forces to enter the Indochina Peninsula were some Jesuit monks. In addition to preaching, they also closely followed the political changes in Vietnam.

As early as 1780, the war between the Nguyen Dynasty in southern Vietnam and the Tay Son Dynasty in the north was intensifying. At this time, the French Catholic priest Patolo saw an opportunity. He lobbied the French government to organize a "volunteer army" to enter Vietnam to help the founding emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty. Ruan Fuying competed for the country of Vietnam, on the condition that after the victory, the Nguyen Dynasty ceded Da Nang and Con Son Island to France.

But soon there was a great revolution in France. Although there were French "volunteers" who went to Vietnam to join the war, they did not have much effect. After the Nguyen Dynasty successfully destroyed the Tay Son Dynasty, they also refused to cede the territory to France.

But since France has set its sights on the territory of the Indochina Peninsula, it will naturally not let it go.

In 1858 AD, French Vice Admiral Charles Genoyly, who participated in the Crimean War and the Second Opium War, led 3000 French troops and 300 troops provided by the Spanish colonial authorities at the order of the French Emperor Napoleon III. Philippine troops occupy Da Nang, Vietnam.

A few months later, Lieutenant General Charles Genouly led his army to withdraw from Da Nang due to the epidemic in the army, but then occupied Saigon in southern Vietnam.

In 1862, the Vietnamese government was forced to agree to cede to France the three provinces of Bien Hoa, Jia Dinh, and Dinh Thiang in the southern Cochin China region, as well as several other ports.In 1863 AD, Cambodia was also incorporated into the French colony.

So far, the French Indochina Peninsula colony has begun to take shape. France officially declared Cochin China as French territory, and planned to establish the Saigon Governor's Office to directly rule the area, and began the white immigration plan.

The Frenchmen are ambitious in the Indochina Peninsula. They plan to annex Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, invade Thailand, invade the Friendship Pass northward, and even plan to include Guangxi and Guangdong to build a large Indochina Peninsula colony.

If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
Today's world is a triumphant colonial era, and it is also an era in which imperialist power cannon theory prevails. Ethnic equality, human rights or democracy have no market at all, and they are all grotesque and strange theories.

The inner rejection of the American (Northern) democratic system by European feudal dynasties originated from this.

Richard looked greedily back from the Luzon Islands and the East Indies, and then wandered around Cuba, Puerto Rico and other Spanish colonies in Central America for a long time, carefully considering.

if history doesn't change

In 1868, Cuba will break out the first War of Independence, and this war for the Cuban people to fight for freedom and independence was ruthlessly suppressed by the Spanish colonists, and finally ended in failure.

in the brutal civil war
Cuba's total population of more than 150 million people lost nearly 120% of its original population. After the war, there were only more than [-] million people. The struggle against the colonists fell into a low ebb.

that time

It should be the best time for the Tang Empire to intervene. On the one hand, the Spanish royal family, which has sent tens of thousands of troops from thousands of miles away to carry out bloody suppression, has suffered greatly. On the other hand, the local people in Cuba have become soft-footed crabs.

The Spaniards went to Central America to fire their guns. Did they ask the American overlord, the Datang Empire?
This alone is an irrefutable and mortal sin.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Richard has already regarded the entire Americas as the back garden of the Tang Empire. While forcing the American countries to open their markets, he lost no time in infiltrating economic and financial forces, controlling the local political situation, and competing for influence with Britain, France and other countries.

After comprehensive consideration

Richard felt that during the period from 1870 to 1871, it was an appropriate time to sound the clarion call for the fourth large-scale colonial expansion of the Tang Empire by attacking Cuba, Puerto Nico, and the Philippines first.

Before this
Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the three small Central American calamits, can be swallowed in one gulp. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. The total population of these three small countries is less than 72, and their international influence is minimal.

But the territory is not small. Guatemala has a little over 10 square kilometers, Honduras has 11 square kilometers, and Nicaragua has 14 square kilometers. They all happen to be in one province, and the three add up to 35 square kilometers.

The Tang Empire has been infiltrating these three small Central American countries for several years. The Chinese have basically mastered the major cities in shipping, industry, and finance, and have a considerable economic base in the local area.

In line with the principle of mature one, pick one.

The empire is planning to lead and plan coups in Guatemala and Nicaragua in the near future, and then promote the proposal to join the Datang Empire through the newly pro-Datang Empire government, and take it into its pocket without bloodshed.

Wouldn't it be a big shame if the majestic Great Tang Empire didn't destroy more than a dozen countries?
These few years

First settle the three small Karamis in Central America, then the territory of the empire can continue to extend from the Strait Province and Zhennan Province to the south, break through the barriers with the two provinces of Panama and Costa Rica, and connect the overseas territories into a whole.

Taking the train from Chang'an City to the south, you can go directly to Panama City. It's exciting to think about it!

while in the north
Chinese immigrants occupy the mainstream social groups in British Columbia, Alberta and Yukon Territory. If the regional democratic merger proposal implemented by the British Temple government is followed, the local Chinese immigrants will undoubtedly tend to merge with the Datang Empire.

In fact, the Tang Empire did not deliberately immigrate to the above-mentioned areas, but the Chinese population in the Vancouver area overflowed slightly, and it occupied the mainstream of British Columbia. The total population of the province is about 1.7, and 1.36 are Chinese.

The total population of Alberta is more than 7600 people, and there are about 4970 people of Chinese descent.

The total population of Yukon is more than 5500, among which more than 4000 are Chinese.

In the three British Canadian colonial provinces mentioned above, the Chinese population occupies the absolute mainstream. This is because these three provinces border the northern provinces of the Tang Empire, and there is no clear border line. They live in the Northern Province, Montana Province and the Northern Province. The Chinese population in Darwin drove the ranch to the opposite side without paying attention.

The Tang Empire did not defend the northern border, because the border area between the Tang Empire and British Canada was too long, and most of them were located in alpine regions, so it was not easy to garrison, so they simply let go of it completely.

The British Canadian colonies did not even have an army. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were the main force in maintaining border security. Due to their small numbers, they could only maintain border security in the densely populated Great Lakes region in eastern Canada, and the rest were basically free.

in terms of land

The British are more generous than the Tang Empire. As long as you have the ability to enclose it desperately, you can enclose the ranch as much as you want, and no one cares about you at all.

Therefore, it still attracts many Chinese immigrants who have a deep attachment to the land. They are not afraid of the high cold in Canada to develop across the border and live there.

To be honest, the responsibility of the British is even greater.

The British Temple government has not let go of the issue of democratic self-determination of the provinces of British Canada. It has pushed for the merger of the provinces of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia into a federation and become the British Dominion. , was strongly opposed by the province of Quebec, and the above-mentioned three provinces in eastern Canada also had great internal resistance, and no clear results have been obtained for a long time.

on this issue

London adopted two diametrically opposed standards, one favoring the amalgamation of the provinces of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into a Canadian federation, and pushing hard to suppress opposition from French Canadians.

The other strictly restricts the democratic self-determination agenda of the remote northwestern provinces, fearing that they will vote to join the Tang Empire. Wouldn't that be making wedding clothes for others?
Actually

The British political circles don’t pay much attention to the northwestern provinces of Canada. Although the territory is vast, the natural conditions are too bad. The climate is cold and remote, and it is not a livable area for human beings. Many British people suggest that they should be sold to the Tang Empire.

Of course, this kind of alpine and uninhabitable area cannot be sold at a price. At most, according to the standard of Alaska, it is only 2000 million yuan.

Not to mention, this kind of speech really has a market in the UK.

Many British people think that since they can't keep it, it's better to sell it for some money. Anyway, no British person is willing to move to such a cold area to live, and they won't be able to develop it for another 100 or 200 years.

It is not known whether the Tang Empire was secretly fueling such remarks. Anyway, according to a poll conducted by The Times, 56% of the people in London were in favor, which also affected the attitude of upper-level politicians.

Most of these ordinary Londoners don't know how big the northwestern provinces of British Canada are?What's your name?I don't care about this extremely remote and cold area, but I just feel that it is better to sell some money to benefit the Tang Empire than to make it cheap for nothing.

If the democratic referendum in the colonial provinces is implemented, these areas will almost certainly be lost.

Li Cha hesitated for a moment, feeling that the current situation was very good, he was inexplicably excited for a while, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He strode to the window and pushed it open, calling silently.

Immediately, three black shadows appeared in the bright night sky, approaching quickly from the sky, only to see Li Cha's body flickering and then disappearing in an instant, appearing on the back of one of the black shadows.

The bald eagle that took over from Li Cha sank obviously, and then flapped its wings vigorously and flew high, taking Li Cha, who was sitting cross-legged on the eagle's back, to the sky, and the other two bald eagles followed closely , and soon turned into three small black dots.

The bald eagles carefully raised by Li Cha are huge in size. They are mutated by feeding them with a tube of blood that he releases. Their wings can reach nearly 5 meters. They are so handsome that they can carry them straight up into the sky.

Li Cha's Suzaku blood has incredible mysterious power, especially for poultry mutation, as long as a small tube is released, and a little bit of it is fed to the meat strips every day, it can promote the mutation of bald eagles.

Considering not to shock the world too much, Li Cha only fed a small tube of Suzaku blood to the bald eagle, otherwise it is possible to mutate even more vigorously.

It was chilly in the sky, Li Cha sat firmly on the back of the bald eagle, his sharp eyes scanned the metropolis of Chicago under the night, and he could see a few carriages driving at night on the streets with clear kerosene lamps.

keep going

The sparkling Lake Michigan comes into view, the vast waters are as boundless as the sea, and the small islands in the lake are faintly visible under the moonlight.

Li Cha opened his hands excitedly, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, feeling the joy of flying at high speed in the air.

not far apart
The other two bald eagles fluttered their wings and followed closely. After taking the blood of Suzaku, these bald eagles have the same heart as Li Cha, and their wisdom has also increased a lot. They are almost equivalent to human children aged 4 to 5.

As long as one thought, you can communicate smoothly.

"what……"

Li Cha, who was so excited about the flight, let out a long roar, and his figure flickered in a trance, then landed on the back of another bald eagle. He was as chic and calm as a fairy, and flew quickly over the vast Lake Michigan.

Just over 40 minutes

Under the relay load of the three bald eagles, Li Cha has crossed a vast lake of more than 130 kilometers and reached the top of a steep mountain in the South Bend area.

Standing here and looking around, the vast state of mind of seeing all the mountains and small mountains made him laugh out loud again, laughing so heartily and without any scruples.

In his heart, he has always planned a trip to Europe, to see and experience for himself what the European society looks like in today's era.
But before that
It seems that there is an urgent need to clean up all the dissenting voices in the Tang Empire, and establish an imperial propaganda department to unify public opinion and cultural orientation.

The noise of yogurt literati has caused ideological confusion in the society, which is very harmful to the empire. It is very important that a strong cultural department will play a leading role in this field and build a consensus among the people.

Li Cha had been planning his trip to Europe more than ten years ago, but due to the strong opposition of the ministers and various delays, it was delayed again and again.

Now that the domestic situation is prosperous and stable, and the political, military and economic development is stable, it is really a good time to visit!

If the time is set between March and April next year, and no later than May, it should be a more appropriate choice.

The safety issue that General Liu Wu has been worrying about is not the main point in Li Cha's view. There are very few people in this world who can hurt him, not to mention that the royal family has a double who imitates the emperor so vividly. That's it.

Li Cha's mysterious premonition is very effective. Although this trip to Europe has twists and turns, it will never endanger his life. It can be said to be wonderful.
