Wild North America 1846

The envoys of Fusang and Paraguay who waited anxiously in the State Guest House, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the Emperor of the Tang Empire returning to Chang'an, the imperial capital, after a tour of the southern and northern provinces. It took more than five months.

Don't mention the anxiety that is tormenting in your heart day and night.

But when they thought of the vast territory of the Tang Empire in North America, which was about 9670 kilometers long from north to south and 3720 kilometers long from east to west, everyone shut their mouths tightly at the same time.

The territory of the empire is too vast, which is also a trouble for happiness.

in this world
There is a kind of power that you can't envy. Over the past 20 years since the founding of the country, the rapid rise of the Tang Empire in North America is a miracle of today's era.

Emperor Li Cha led the ministers from the dragon all the way to conquer the huge country, and achieved the current situation of the Tang Empire in its heyday.

Especially its vast territory of more than ten million square kilometers, in today's world only the British Empire, the French Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the Qing Empire can stand shoulder to shoulder with it, and other world powers are hard to come by.

scrutinize
The total number of colonies of the British Empire throughout the world is close to 2750 million square kilometers (note; data from the 19s). It has the largest territory and undoubtedly occupies the first place in today's world.

There's nothing wrong with colonies equaling territories.

As old colonial powers, the biggest limitation of Britain and France is that the continental area of ​​Europe is small, and its colonies are all over the world, but they are fragmented and do not border each other, making colonial management more difficult.

The largest single colony of the United Kingdom is a territory of more than 430 million square kilometers under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of India, but it is thousands of miles away from the European mainland.

Once a war breaks out with a world-class power, these colonies far away from the mainland of Europe are nothing more than castles built on the beach, which are easily attacked by the enemy and fall.

The Seven Years War between Britain and France that broke out in 1756 is the most vivid example.

This is an all-out war that spreads all over the world. In addition to fierce fighting in Europe, the British and French powers also launched a full-scale struggle in overseas colonies. The war spreads across North America, the Indian subcontinent, North Africa and the Middle East.

After the victory of the "Seven Years War", Britain gained a large number of colonies. France was forced to cede the whole of Canada to Britain in the "Paris Peace Treaty", and also withdrew from the whole of India, retaining only 5 of them. Drive out of the Americas and the Indian subcontinent.

After the victory of the war, Britain also monopolized the command of the sea, maintained the balance of power in the European continent, and became the biggest winner.

And this was when the French Empire was closest to ascending to the throne of world hegemony. After the defeat, the Gallic Rooster's dream of being a world leader was shattered, and he had to live a life of humiliation under the wings of the fateful enemy Britain.

The American War of Independence, which broke out shortly thereafter, provided the most favorable opportunity for the French to take revenge.

In order to wash away the shame of Louis XV's defeat, the French Emperor Louis XVI even went bankrupt and even sent more than [-] French troops to fight in North America. No matter how much he sacrificed and paid, he would help the Americans win the war of independence. With a breath of vengeance.

The result was that Britain lost its North American colonies (note; Canada was not included), and the United States of America became independent. The Frenchman finally let out a sigh of relief after paying a huge price of more than 3 people killed in battle. Louis XVI went to the guillotine shortly thereafter...

Therefore, overseas colonies all over the world are not only the biggest capital of Britain and France, but also their biggest weakness.

Unlike Britain and France, the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Qing Empire, and the Tang Empire are all giants with a territory directly under their jurisdiction of more than ten million square kilometers, and they have extremely broad strategic depth.

In the face of any foreign enemy, it is in the advantage of internal combat, which is conducive to the mobilization of troops and equipment, and is conducive to war mobilization. Relying on a broad strategic depth, it will drag powerful enemies into the quagmire of long-term wars until they win the final victory.

The French Emperor Napoleon invaded Tsarist Russia and suffered an unprecedented fiasco, which also provided a clear negative educational template for ambitious European countries;
When delusionally trying to conquer a giant, one must first measure whether one's three inches can fight to the end?
Although the Tsarist Russian Empire spanned the Eurasian continent, due to its geographical location too far north, most of its territory was located in high-latitude alpine regions, which were not suitable for human habitation.

Moreover, Tsarist Russia has no sea ports in the warm Mediterranean Sea in Europe, and its geographical limitations are relatively large, facing a forest of strong European opponents.Tsarist Russia’s westward expansion policy of more than 200 years since Catherine the Great has suffered repeated setbacks, making it difficult to exert greater influence in European affairs, which is inseparable from the geographical factors of the siege.

Two-phase comparison
The positions of the Qing Empire and the Tang Empire are much better, and these two great empires are both feudal regimes with mainly Chinese populations.With a large population and a long history, it has unique Chinese cultural heritage.They echo each other across the vast Pacific Ocean, almost embracing the entire Pacific Ocean.

Does such a strategic situation mean that the future belongs to the Chinese?
The thought of this possibility made those in power in London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna restless and secretly vigilant.

In the general cognition of European society today, the Qing Empire is intentionally or unintentionally called Chinese, a typical Northeast Asian yellow race, to distinguish it from Southeast Asia and South Asia.

The Tang Empire is also called the Tang people, who are typical North American Caucasians. The reason is that the Indians are divided into whites, because too many white bloods have been integrated.

the reason for this

Europeans have very complicated feelings, so why not imply that they are afraid that the two great empires on the east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean will join hands to rule the world?
At that time, who can compete with it?

Back to the topic
When Fusang and Paraguay finally got the news that they were waiting for, the result of the court meeting of the Tang Empire was so bad that they felt a sense of despair, as if the end had come...

Envoy of Fusang Kingdom;
"How is this possible... God Amaterasu! My country, Fusang, respects and respects the Great Tang Empire as the supreme kingdom of heaven. How could it be possible to add insult to injury at such a critical moment? How can this be the way of tolerance for a great country?

It's just so disappointing, it must be the fault of villains.

I hope to have an audience with Your Majesty, and I regret that the country is now deeply hurt by continuous civil wars, and the people are in boundless suffering. Day and night, I hope that the Kingdom of Heaven will spread like rain on the world and save the people from the fire and water.

I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and take back my order. The shogunate must not obey such a condition of humiliating power and humiliating the country! "

The envoy of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at Fusang envoy with contempt like looking at a fool, and reprimanded him after showing a flattering smile;
"Simply absurd!
Today, the Holy Majesty convenes the courtiers to discuss in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the policies are based on the universal, not just limited to one country like you.

In the future, similar affairs in various countries will also be handled in the same way. Loans must be secured.

How can it be possible to change the imperial decree issued by the emperor's golden pen today?

How can you allow bargaining?
It's just ridiculous, and the crime cannot be punished!
Gu Nianer and others are barbarians from all over the world, who don't know etiquette and education, and it is really unintentional to speak rebellious words.

At the beginning of the Great Tang Dynasty, the holy emperor made commoner clothes to ascend to the throne, creating a grand situation in North America.From several periods to create ten thousand generations, it is impossible to talk about the six books, how can the former sages speak?
at this time
The sage's merits are tyrannical and the day is strong, and the people are obedient to the people, the world is unified and the barbarians are obedient, all nations come to court, and create a great cause that will be passed down forever.

You barbarians are crazy and don’t know what to read. Now that you have heard the right way, please recite it for life..."

Envoy of Fusang Kingdom; "..."

The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs lashed out at the criticism, quoting a few words from Ban Gu's "Ode to the Eastern Capital". Hearing the envoy of the Fusang Kingdom, he was stunned and did not have the courage to continue the dialogue.

Cursing people is so stylish, it really is the style of the kingdom of heaven!

The other side of the State Guest House

The envoy of the Republic of Paraguay also screamed in pain and shouted in disbelief; "Oh... no, no, God, have you really abandoned the troubled Paraguayans? Paraguay humbly begs His Majesty's mercy , if the Tang Empire is unable to extend a helping hand, Paraguay will inevitably fall into the terrible abyss of national subjugation and extinction!"

"Unfortunately, what position does the empire take to help Paraguay?" the envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked.

"Paraguay is willing to establish a closer ally relationship with the Tang Empire, cooperate in all aspects of politics, economy and military, respect and implement the "Liu Xianjun Doctrine" policy promoted by your country, and hope to develop a model bilateral relationship between North and South America. Sincerest wishes."

"A mere ants, are you worthy?" The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs retorted, making the embassy of the Republic of Paraguay turn red, and then turned from red to purple, from purple to black, speechless for a long time.

The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs snorted coldly, and continued mercilessly; "Compared with the price paid for supporting Paraguay, the empire will definitely tear itself apart with the South American powers Brazil and Argentina. Even if international mediation fails Is it worthwhile to save Paraguay from the crisis with military intervention? How can there be such a wonderful thing in the world if you want to get it without paying anything?”

"Paraguay is willing to be the pioneer of the Tang Empire in South America, dancing with the baton of the empire, just begging for superficial equality and retaining the last trace of dignity."

"If Paraguay is subjugated and exterminated, it is useless to have such a little dignity. Who cares what a completely destroyed person thinks?"

"The bloody reality you revealed is too cruel. President Lopez is a very persistent person and will never give in to others."

"It seems that... Paraguay didn't die enough in the war to make President López realize the cruel reality. Then just go ahead, if 1 deaths are not enough, then 2 deaths Or 5 until it is completely destroyed, this has nothing to do with the Tang Empire, just die."

"Oh, God, I beg you not to be so callous."

"Shut up, keep my three words firmly in mind, and tell your President Lopez; Paraguay must show value in order to be worthy of the empire's rescue. Paraguay must completely surrender to the empire in order to be worthy of the empire's rescue. Paraguay You must show enough obedience to be worthy of the empire's rescue." The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at the other party's horrified and inexplicable face, snorted coldly, and continued;

"The empire needs a dog in South America, and Paraguay must play the role of the dog and do what a dog should do.

If you want to bite anyone, go and bite, if you want to wag your tail, quickly wag your tail to win the favor of the owner, so that you can get a reward of a piece of meat and bone.

Don't fantasize about sitting on an equal footing with the owner, even sitting on the dining table, and being able to eat a bone at the owner's feet is the dog's greatest happiness and glory.

Otherwise, go ahead and die.

When the strength is not enough, it is happiness to be a dog.

For his own stubbornness, he sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of people in Paraguay. Their homes were burned by the enemy, their fields were robbed by the enemy, their wives and daughters were insulted by the enemy, their wealth was plundered by the enemy, the land fell, and the mountains and rivers were broken.

And the Paraguayans will forever be recorded in the annals of history as clowns who stop cars with their arms. After the country's demise, they will also be ridiculed by later generations and die without dignity and humiliation. Is this what President Carlos wants?

Instead of this, it would be happier to be a dog.

The choice is in your own hands, no one is forcing the Paraguayans or President Lopez, I hope you can really recognize the facts.

In order to show goodwill, the empire will forcibly intervene in the war to mediate and win time for Paraguay to survive.

But this time will not be too long, I hope you can take care of yourself. "

after speaking
The envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs swaggered away, leaving only the envoy of the Republic of Paraguay standing in the courtyard with a gray face, his body stiff and motionless for a long time, as if he had lost his soul.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

My family knows my own affairs, and President Lopez and the envoy are well aware of the dangerous situation Paraguay is facing now;
This is a desperate war that can never be won. If no one rescues, Paraguay will surely fall into the boundless abyss of darkness.

But the Paraguayans always have a little bit of luck in their hearts, delusional thinking that the Tang Empire is out of the face and vanity of a big country...

Well, the fantasy is completely shattered, and it's time to face the cold reality.

It's not that the Paraguayans haven't thought about surrendering. They have made efforts in this regard. Paraguayan President Lopez tried to surrender to the coalition forces, but was ruthlessly rejected.

The Paraguay War lasted more than two years, and the Brazilian Empire and Argentina suffered huge casualties in the continuous war. Now they are red-eyed and threatened to "completely eradicate the cancer of Paraguay, including women and Paraguayan children."

This is not a threat, but what the Brazilians and Argentines really think.

The British secretly supported the Brazilian Empire, providing the weapons and gunpowder needed to help Brazil equip a staggeringly large black army to be used as cannon fodder in the war.

look around the world
The sad discovery of Paraguay has been abandoned by the world. Europeans are indifferent, and they don't even know that Paraguay is such a small and inconspicuous country, let alone care about Paraguay's imminent demise.

The envoy of the Tang Empire was right;

The only possibility to save Paraguay in this world is the Tang Empire's intervention, provided that Paraguay is to be an obedient dog.

In fact, President Lopez of Paraguay has no choice at all. This is related to the fate of the entire nation. Among the two paths of destruction and being a dog, the latter is the only feasible way out.

he knows;
President Lopez is being tormented day and night by painful self-blame and regret. His heart has already been riddled with holes, and he is not as strong as he appears at all.

As long as there is a chance, he is willing to be a dog.
