Chapter 465 Making the Most of
three days later

Chang'an, the imperial capital, Daming Palace
Emperor Li Cha put down the memorial in his hand, and lay back comfortably on the back of the chair. His fingers unconsciously tapped on the rosewood armrest, thinking deeply...

Is the Austro-Prussian War about to break out?

After reading the emergency memorial, the performance of Tang Li Kun, the seventh son of the emperor, made his eyes shine. Being able to follow clues from complicated data and summarize important information requires some spiritual wisdom.

Emperor Li Cha couldn't clearly remember the time when the Prussian-Austrian War broke out. Tang Li Kun's judgment bought time for the empire's calm layout, which is really a stroke of genius!

in his impression;

The Austro-Prussian War was a great power war that shook Europe. The two sides used more than one million troops. It was a short-term battle with fierce confrontation and heavy casualties. In the end, the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire and won the leadership of the German region. end.

This battle destroyed dozens of small and medium-sized German states, including some powerful states including the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Baden, and the Grand Duchy of Württemberg, realizing the unification of part of the German nation.

Bismarck, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, and General Moltke, Chief of Staff, worked closely together. One won space and time through ingenious European diplomacy, and the other defeated the Austrian army through powerful military operations. The victory was established in a short period of time, leaving no room for foreign powers to intervene in the war. The next opportunity to take advantage of.

In view of the fact that the Kingdom of Prussia is not in a good position in the current sensitive and complicated situation in Europe, preparations for the Austrian War are more like dancing on a tightrope, and if one accidentally falls, all previous efforts will be wasted.

After the thought sprouted in Li Cha's mind, it started to grow like weeds.

What's more, what can you do if you just turn your face?
The rapid development of the Tang Empire's strength and the geostrategic advantage of dominating North America gave Emperor Richard full confidence.

Hurt each other!
Who is afraid of who?

The raw rice has been cooked into a cooked meal, and now is the best opportunity to avoid the nonsense of international intervention, bullying by the strong, and affecting the situation in the Americas from countries such as Britain and France.

By May 5 at the latest, I want to see a clean Central Plains Province. "

As the second powerful country in the world that has entered full industrialization, the Tang Empire is not easy to bully.

Therefore, the Prussian royal family did not inform its close transatlantic allies of the exact time of war. Such highly confidential information is too core and deadly, and it is related to the great cause of the unification of the Kingdom of Prussia.

since the end of last year

think about it

Now that it is known that a short but hugely influential war is about to break out in Europe, all the attention of the British Empire will be attracted by then, and taking the opportunity to include the Yukon Dominion in its pocket has become an urgent task at present.

scheming

The proposed establishment of the "Central Plains Province" is in progress. Since March, Chinese immigrants have gradually entered the towns in the area, and have begun to promote the restoration of production and life.

As a master who couldn't stand loneliness, he wanted to go to Europe to witness this large-scale and fierce war with his own eyes, and it didn't last long anyway.

since last year

Now it seems
It is necessary to speed up this process, shift the focus of resources and government work to immigrants from the Central Plains, and strive to immigrate more than 10 people to the Central Plains within three months from now to the next, and complete the restoration of the province.

When the war in Europe was over, the situation in Central America was also settled and became an established fact.

The Yukon Territory and the Province of British Columbia also obtained the same rights of self-government according to the previous compromise.

"Proclaim my will;
Urgently called the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and all the cabinet staff to the palace for an audience, and called Earl Dong Jie to return to the imperial capital Chang'an to report on his work.

Emperor Li Cha summoned Liang Bojun, the deputy director, and ordered;

In addition, a telegram was sent to Admiral Tian Mantun, Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region;
In view of the changes in the current situation, there is no mistake in ordering your Ministry to speed up military operations to eliminate the remnants of the local forces, and cooperate with the local administrative departments to prepare for large-scale immigration.

The second thing is to include the three countries of Central America.

It has been 20 years since the establishment of the empire, and Li Cha is only 37 years old. He looks much younger than his actual age, and he has nowhere to release his abundant energy. He is not willing to make little people in this huge palace all day long.

Don't care how angry Britain is after the incident, first swallow the fat in front of you, otherwise you don't know when it will end if you procrastinate?
Even in another 10, 20, or even 50 years, if your child is taken away, wouldn't the British be angry?
Richard is sure that the British will not turn against the Tang Empire, and fighting without breaking will be the long-term main tone between the two countries.

There are several remote provinces in the northwest and central part of the British Canadian colony. Due to the sparse population, the local people are not interested in self-government, and they are still in the status of a colonial province of the British Empire. They are neither willing to mix with Canada nor the Yukon Territory.

London is a standard policy of practical interests. As long as maintaining a fragile and sensitive relationship with the Tang Empire is in its global interests, it will not do irrational things and be too obsessed with the Yukon issue.

Now this time period is in an awkward transition period.

Did the Austro-Prussian War break out in June?
Li Cha was obsessed with this matter, and suddenly had a bold idea;

The world is wonderful, and it is interesting to experience more!

If the message is correct

The first item is related to the Yukon Dominion’s implementation of the referendum and its annexation to the Tang Empire. Now everything is ready, and the only thing that needs to be done is the east wind. When the east wind comes, it can be implemented.

Liang Bojun didn't dare to be negligent. After recording the decree, he immediately bowed deeply and withdrew, busy summoning the cabinet and drafting the decree.

"The minister obeys the order!"

in the hall

There is still more than a month before the outbreak of the Prussian-Austro-Prussian War. Emperor Li Cha can now calmly arrange and promote two important matters that have already been ripe for success.

That was Earl Dong Jie, the former head of the secretariat. This person colonized Paradise Island. After the North American War, the states of Illinois and Michigan were recovering from the economy. .

The Imperial Border Army has entered the three Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, carrying out organized clean-ups and repeated raids on the area, and has fully controlled the regional situation.

He didn't mind a head-to-head fight with Britain. If the British Empire blocked the Atlantic trade route to Europe, the Tang Empire would dare to send troops to Australia and even Southeast Asia, thereby threatening its colonial rule in India.

Unexpectedly... the Seventh Prince sent a surprise.

Li Cha preferred Earl Dong Jie to be transferred to the governor of Central America of the imperial government, specifically responsible for the economic construction and government affairs of Central Plains Province, Strait Province, Zhennan Province, Costa Rica Province, and Panama Province, further accumulating the qualifications of one party's senior officials, and preparing for entering the center .

As for the Central Plains Province, which was established by the merger of three small Central American countries, Emperor Richard had already figured out who would lead the construction.

The United Kingdom promoted the popular self-government resolution and merged the provinces of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia into the Canadian Confederation, becoming the earliest self-governing dominion in the British colonies and obtaining de facto self-government status.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is delivered to your door, and it would be a pity not to make full use of it.

In terms of time planning, it is completely in time. First of all, an inspection of the north-central provinces of the empire should start in mid-May. This is basically an annual routine and will not cause excessive interpretation from the outside world.

At that time, it will take 12 to 13 days to arrive in the Kingdom of Prussia by taking a fast cruise from Detroit.

If you hide your identity and go back quickly, it won't cause much trouble.

Well, just do it!
