Wild North America 1846

Chapter 439

"After Paraguay officially declared war on Argentina, it quickly sent an army deep into the province of Corrientes where Argentina belongs, and fierce exchanges of fire broke out between the two armies.

The more powerful Pakistani army won successive victories, and the situation was not good for Argentina. They hastily withdrew a large number of troops to reinforce the battlefield in Corrientes Province, including a group of Indian soldiers, the number of which was about 6000.

The change in the situation in South America has directly led to a softening of the tone of the Argentine delegation participating in the negotiations in the imperial capital..."

When Prime Minister Liu Xianjun introduced the above situation, he couldn't help showing a proud smile at the corner of his mouth, full of sense of accomplishment.

With the powerful political, economic and military strength of the Tang Empire today, it is the out-and-out overlord of the Americas. Any major event in the Americas cannot be separated from the influence of the empire, no matter North America, Central America or South America, That's all.

Based on the "Liu Xianjun Doctrine" (Note; Tang version of the Monroe Doctrine) policy, the Tang Empire is extensively deepening diplomatic and economic and trade ties with American countries, and exerting influence through military, cultural and educational exchanges, aiming to create "America The long-term goal of stabilizing the big backyard is moving forward.

Due to the rapid rise of the Tang Empire, some powerful countries in South America have not yet realized this.

This includes Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Cuba and other countries and European colonial areas, or the high-level local military and political circles refuse to recognize this change, relying on the inextricable relationship between countries in Europe, trying to resist the penetration of the influence of the empire .

This trend of "self-respect with Europe" widely exists in some Central and South American countries, which has brought considerable resistance to the promotion of the foreign policy of the Tang Empire.

That is, the above two regions once again passed the popular motion to start the process of joining the empire as a whole.

Count Juan Carlos stood up, thought for a while, and then talked slowly;
"Your Majesty, gentlemen and servants;
Today's overall situation in the Americas presents an unstable situation of tranquility in the north, chaos in the center, and war in the south. It requires the empire to act in a timely manner and exert its leading influence to dominate the situation in the Americas.

Its equipment and training are superior to those of Brazil and Argentina, which is why President Lopez dared to declare war on two regional powers at the same time.

"Lord Carlos, can you tell me?"

Strength is the foundation of confidence. With the transcendent strength of the Tang Empire today, it is enough to disdain the American countries.

In terms of population, territorial area and resources, Paraguay is far from its South American allies. Coupled with the disadvantages of landlocked countries, once it is cut off from import channels and the supply of weapons and equipment resources, the consequences will be disastrous.

Among the countries where wars broke out in South America, such as Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, the Paraguayan army, known as "South American Prussia", performed the best. In the early days of the war, the Brazilian and Argentine troops were disgraced and retreated again and again.

Count Juan Carlos, with white beard and hair, was a minister of the dragon in the early days of the founding of the country. He had made many contributions to the empire as the foreign minister. He is the most senior minister in the current cabinet and has won the trust of His Majesty.

The high-level military and political circles of the three Central American countries that originally planned to join them were greatly frightened, and they all changed their course and retreated from their original positions.

"Aiqing has worked hard. Let's put aside the matter of Paraguay for the time being. It is inconvenient to intervene in the past two years. The Army Staff Headquarters can keep an eye on it. What about the situation in other regions?" Only when the Chinese people's heads are smashed into dog brains will they intervene, and the assistance will appear precious.

This year and next two years, we will continue to organize a group of outstanding backbones to go north to strengthen the organization and guidance of the people in the above two areas, and to penetrate all aspects of influence. "

"What's the population of these two northern provinces?" Li Cha suddenly interrupted the report and asked.

If the civil war continues, the fighting will be empty, and the bones will be exposed, and the historical and cultural heritage of the three countries in Central America will be completely cut off.

Following the Prime Minister's introduction, His Majesty the Emperor on the first throne in the hall showed a very relaxed expression, which also affected the mood of the ministers.

The Empire's Southern Province, Channel Province, and Costa Rica Province all announced the blockade of their borders, strictly preventing the chaos in Central America from spreading to the Empire's territory.

The statement of Count Juan Carlos did not stir up much splash in the court. After all, the upper class knew where the disasters of the three countries in Central America originated from?
After the Aztec Republic was attached to the empire, a riot suddenly broke out in Zhennan Province and was severely suppressed, which caused another tragedy.

This hot war in South America will be an excellent opportunity for the Tang Empire to fully demonstrate its regional influence.

All the ministers below understood it all, and they all clasped their fists in salute and responded, "Your Majesty is wise, and there is no reason for me to disrespect you."

The total population of the three countries in the region has dropped by half from the 70 before the civil war. According to rough estimates, there are still about 367 million people left.

"In Central America, there are two hotspots today.

But then again, does this have anything to do with the Tang Empire?
In the court hall of the Tang Empire

two years later
The total number of the Paraguayan army reached 3, and the army alone reached 2.5, enough to confront Brazil and Argentina.

Next Step

López Jr.'s emphasis on the military reflects his ambition to increase Paraguay's influence in South America, he declared unabashedly;

The core of the issue of British Canada in North America is still the dispute over regional autonomy. After the unremitting efforts of the British side, the strong opposition of the French residents was eliminated. Now the resolution to establish the "Dominion of Canada" by merging the three provinces north of the Great Lakes, in The above-mentioned three provinces have won the support of the majority of the people.

The civil wars in the three Central American countries did no harm to the empire. Over the past two years, Costa Rica and Panama provinces have added more than 10 young women to the population market, allowing more than 10 Chinese immigrants to solve their marriage problems.

For example, colonizing Southeast Asia, colonizing the East Indies, colonizing Fuso Island and the Korean Peninsula, colonizing Australia, colonizing North Africa, the Near East, etc., are full of bold and radical colonial policy ideas, and the ultimate goal is to colonize the world like Britain and France.

"The minister obeys the order."

The family knows their own affairs.

One is Guatemala and other three countries in Central America where civil war broke out. The civil war is now in its third year. The continuous civil war turmoil and crop failure have caused the people in the region to suffer from the war and displacement. The situation is particularly miserable.

With the huge size of the empire, it is easy to deal with these little Karami, let them make a fuss for now.

"I obey the order, and I will uphold the holy will and implement your Majesty's benevolent government. This is the blessing of all people." Count Juan Carlos spoke Chinese very authentically. After a slight pause, he continued to explain the current situation in America .

Regarding these figures, Count Juan Carlos came from his mouth. He gave a calm expression and then replied; The absolute majority of ethnic groups, the Unification faction is the mainstream consensus of the Chinese community, which cannot be separated from the result of the concerted efforts of various departments."

What is lacking is a final referendum procedure, which is estimated to be completed within this year.

Since importing two 1500-ton armored destroyers from the Datang Empire, its naval strength has grown considerably. The navy has been equipped with 1 sailor battalion and 1 artillery battalion. The main force is steam ships. Among the naval fleet dominated by China, its strength is unique.

In addition, President Lopez also attaches great importance to the construction of the navy, requiring domestic shipbuilding companies to build world-class steam ships for use as warships, update naval equipment, and enhance naval power.

Considering that most of the people who died in the war were young and middle-aged men, the elderly, the infirm, and young children, and the male population accounted for less than [-]%, this is a huge disaster for the three countries in Central America..."

Since you can't cheat the big ship, you can directly force it. Ever since, an unprecedented civil war broke out in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua in Central America, and the flames of war quickly spread throughout Central America.

Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America with a population of less than 50. In order to counter the territorial ambitions of Argentina and Brazil, Paraguay has been making active military preparations to gain access to the mouth of the La Plata River.

The North American War has been over for 4 years, and most of the huge empire army of more than one million during the war was disarmed and returned to the fields.However, due to the implementation of the reserve military service system, the overall military strength of the empire has not been affected, but has become more and more prosperous with the vigorous economic development.

The children of these families were sent to the juvenile military academy for further study to cultivate the tradition of serving in the army, and these are often expensive aristocratic schools.

Sitting high on the emperor's throne above him, Richard turned his gaze to Count Juan Carlos, Minister of the Colonial Department, and said directly by name;

For this unrealistic and arrogant mentality, no one from the top to bottom of the Tang Empire can be optimistic.

After the new president Lopez Jr. took office in 1862, he vigorously expanded his armaments, reorganized Paraguay's 7000-member army, and implemented a plan for rapid military expansion.

By the end of 1864, the Paraguayan army had included 30 infantry battalions, 23 cavalry regiments and 4 artillery regiments, and had a reserve army of more than 26000 people. In fact, all the people were soldiers.

From top to bottom in the Tang Empire, martial arts were extremely strong. Under the implementation of the meritorious service system, a large number of military families with military nobles as the mainstay emerged.

Thus;
The official policy of the empire towards the three countries in Central America is to let them continue the civil war until the time when the empire can intervene.

The democratic process in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory, which the empire cares about, is also advancing simultaneously and steadily. Since the Chinese population in the above two regions occupies an absolute proportion, there is basically no trouble in passing the final regional self-government plan.

The military and local officials made a lot of money, and the conditions of the troops stationed in the Straits Province and Costa Rica Province were greatly improved. When many retired soldiers left the barracks, they took two or three young Central American women to the shameless Retired and lived in peace.

This kind of argument was very popular in the 19s. The subjects of the Tang Empire claimed to be the kingdom of heaven. The victories in a series of wars bred a strong sense of national pride, and the national cohesion based on the Chinese feudal ritual system was greatly enhanced. , Huaxia culture has shown strength in its expansion.

In this era when there is no international organization, the three weak Central American countries are really not responding every day, and the earth is not working. They can only watch the flames of war spread throughout the country, and a large number of people die from hunger and turmoil...

To put it simply, His Majesty the Emperor felt that not enough people died in Central America, and the population should continue to be reduced.

"The situation in Central America is very complicated, with history, religion, and racial grievances mixed in, and it is constantly being cut and reasoned. It is not appropriate for the empire to intervene when the time is not ripe." Richard sat on the throne and sighed softly. He took a breath and came to a conclusion.

Adhering to the sound strategy of "one bite at a time", after the North American War, the Datang Empire entered a period of strategic digestion that lasted for more than 10 years, and basically there will be no major expansion moves.

"This is a very good move. We will continue to migrate some people from the north, and provide preferential financial support to help them settle down." Li Cha thought for a while, and then said; "Recently, some female family members of criminal officials, and misdemeanor exiles can also send Go to the north to serve labor, try to help the northern immigrants marry wives and have children, and settle down."

The Confucian rhetoric of being kind to others and being good-neighborly and friendly has never been the mainstream, and the policy of "making friends from afar and attacking near and far, and promoting the country's prestige in foreign lands" is the kingly way. Colonial pioneering ideas are popular, and many radical expansion ideas have been put forward.

The only disadvantage is that the number is too small to compete with the South American coalition fleet with dozens of sailing warships.

The joint military department of the Imperial Colonial Department has continued to promote the transfer of some loyal retired veterans and outstanding Taoyuan School of Administration graduates to settle in the north. , played an important role in the backbone organization.

"I hope that one day Paraguay will be able to gain access to the Atlantic Ocean, develop freely and without being restrained by imperialism, and become a powerful country with important influence in South America."

The upper echelons of the empire were furious, and they simply took action...

These remarks are actually modest. President Lopez’s real ambition is to create a new situation by punching and kicking, just like the Tang Empire rising in North America and eventually becoming the hegemon of South America.

The Royal Navy of the Tang Empire stationed in Central America dispatched patrol ironclad ships to blockade the Caribbean waters near the three countries in Central America to prevent the import of arms and weapons into the region and exacerbate the chaos in the region.

The population of the Brazilian empire is more than 150 million, the population of Argentina is more than 30 million, and Uruguay is less than 24. The total population of the three countries is [-] times that of Paraguay.

Some immature colonial ideas were stillborn, but the colonization of Central and South America, the colonization of the Luzon Islands and the East Indies has always been one of the possible options for the empire.

In the archives of the Imperial Army and the Colonial Department, there are dozens of sets of detailed colonial plans, which will be released when the time is right.

The famous "South American Desert Expedition Plan" only used two cavalry divisions, with a total of more than 2.7 troops. This is really a piece of cake for the powerful army of the empire.

The highlight of this colonization plan is the armed militia; the Chinese armed corps, which is responsible for its own profits and losses, has become the leading force in the South American desert expedition plan, with low investment and quick results, and the enthusiasm of the people is very high.

Today, gratifying achievements have been made.
