Wild North America 1846

Emperor Li Cha nodded slightly, turned around and hooked his fingers.

Director Zheng Yuan, who was waiting by his side, immediately took the cigar case, opened the lid and offered it with both hands, cut off the cigar cap and lit it, a series of actions were as smooth as flowing water.

After taking a deep breath of the cigar, Emperor Li Cha slowly exhaled a thick smoke, his deep eyes pierced through the lingering smoke and looked into the distance, then he said unhurriedly;

"There is nothing static in this world. Today's international situation is changing, and time-shifting events are more like a chess game in a game.

Responding to changes with the same change often means sticking to the rules.

This will lead to falling behind step by step in the ever-changing world structure, missing many opportunities for development, and losing the spirit of forging ahead in the early days of the founding of the country.

Since the German army withdrew from the northern provinces of France in accordance with the treaty at the end of last year, France, the former world power, has recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, showing its colonial fangs again.

according to reliable sources
The French Adolphe Thiers government formulated a policy of large-scale colonial expansion, focusing on the Middle East and the Indochina Peninsula in Asia, and even coveted the homeland of China to the north.

The French are trying to quickly recover blood through expansion and colonization, and feed back the weakened French mainland. This policy has now been finalized.

Out of the consideration of the "balance policy" of the European continent, and in order to check and balance the rapidly rising German Empire, the United Kingdom acquiesced in the French side's intensification of penetration into the Middle East belonging to the Ottoman Empire.

The two sides secretly delimited their respective territories, and the waters of the wells do not violate the waters of the rivers.

The goal of France is to control the Greater Syria (later divided into Syria and Lebanon), the British goal is to control and control Iraq (later divided into Iraq and Kuwait) and Palestine, Najd (Saudi Arabia) and Jordan (later allowed the independence of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Jianguo) area.

The funny thing is
When dividing their spheres of influence, Britain and France did not expect to leave a mouthful of leftovers for the Tang Empire, nor did they leave a mouthful of soup for the Germans.

It seems that the whole world is regarded as a dish that can be taken at will, and no one else is allowed to get involved.

In the Indochina Peninsula of Asia
On the basis of the current Saigon Governor's Mansion, the French will aggressively invade north and completely destroy the Kingdom of Vietnam, the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Kingdom of Laos, thus establishing a unified Indochina Peninsula colony.

when the time comes
Cross the Friendship Gate to invade the homeland of China, and plunder a lot of wealth through expansion and colonization.

throughout the Indochina Peninsula

The tacit understanding between Britain and France is in Myanmar, and the French colonial expansion should stop here.

After the British instigated the first Anglo-Burmese war, they are currently planning the second Anglo-Burmese war.It was hoped that the country would be completely colonized to keep the colonial flank of the Indian subcontinent safe.

It has to be said that the British reached out really long enough. They went deep into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the north of the Indian subcontinent repeatedly, surveying the geographical and hydrological conditions in the name of a scientific expedition team, and preparing for a possible invasion.

In the northwest, the first Anglo-Afghan war was launched in an attempt to conquer Afghanistan, a mountainous country.

In Central Asia, they joined forces with Tsarist Russia to frequently engage in troubles, with ulterior motives for Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.

Tsarist Russia took actual military action to invade Xinjiang. By May 1871, it crossed the border from the Alashan Pass and occupied a large area around it.

Beginning on June 6, thousands of Tsarist Russian troops captured Qingshuihezi, Suiding, Bayandai, and Ningyuan City one after another. In these several siege battles, the Russian artillery played a vital role. The road is like a broken bamboo.

In just two years, it occupied 10,000+ square kilometers of land and eroded almost 1/3 of the Xinjiang region.

At a time when free trade in the world is regressing sharply today, European countries have heavy tariff barriers, and there will be waves of colonial expansion around the world.

Everyone is scrambling for territory, how could the Tang Empire be missing?

Since Britain and France are not willing to play with the Tang Empire, and the wings of the Tang Empire are strong enough, they should consider building their own Tang Yuan trade circle. "

Speaking of here
Emperor Li Cha aggressively drew a circle with his hands, then looked at the two founding fathers in front of him with sharp eyes, and said with a smile on his lips;

"It's such a fun game, the Brit and the French don't want to take us with us, so let's play it by ourselves.

Cuba in Central America ignores him for the time being, and it will naturally fall when it is rotten, and it will get twice the result with half the effort.

The current target is the old land of the Inca Empire in South America, namely Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia.

I am going to pick one out to make an example to the monkeys, to deter all the young people in South America.

The purpose of conquest, in addition to colonial expansion, is to let them obediently sign the South American Unified Market Treaty, sign the Andean Customs Union and other related treaties, and open the door to allow the products of the empire to enter.

From now on
These South American countries only need to develop agriculture and aquaculture, and sell guano minerals. The industrial product market can only be exclusively enjoyed by the Tang Empire, and Europeans should not even think about intervening.

I've ruled out Chile before considering these knock-on targets.

Chile, as a country dominated by indigenous whites, has a greater impact on the full-scale invasion of Chile, which may cause a strong rebound from European countries, and the difficulty of assimilation and governance is too high.

Compared with other South American countries, the goals outweigh the gains and are basically not considered.

Talk to two lovers today, who do you like? "

Who do you like?
Judging from the tone of His Majesty the Emperor, it seemed as if he bought a maid to come back to serve him.

It's too late to complain now, this is a big deal.

After hearing the inquiry, Gu Yan and Liu Xianjun, the two political leaders, frowned and thought seriously, and did not speak for a long time.

Emperor Li Cha was not in a hurry either. He drank tea in a leisurely manner, tasted the full-bodied top-quality Cuban cigars, and was fascinated by the scenery of the lake and mountains.

after a long time
Liu Xianjun came back to his senses from long-term thinking, clasped his fists and saluted and said;

"Show Your Majesty;
Weighing the pros and cons just now, Wei Chen tried to use the method of exclusion to select a suitable target, and finally chose Colombia as the next South American country to conquer. "

"Well, tell me the reason." Emperor Li Cha asked with interest.

Receiving the encouraging gaze from His Majesty the Emperor, Liu Xianjun's spirit was lifted immediately, and he explained the reason he thought carefully;

"Show Your Majesty;
Weichen considers the problem from multiple perspectives such as social history, geographical resources, and colonization, and uses the method of elimination to select the most suitable target for conquest. Please learn from me!

These countries in South America are all the former lands of the Inca Empire and were colonized by the Spaniards successively in history. The social, historical and humanistic conditions are roughly the same, with little difference.

Its ethnic structure is slightly different, but mainly Indians are the mainstream ethnic group, and native whites have higher social status and financial resources.

The Inca Empire originated from the Peruvian plateau, where a splendid Inca culture was created, and it is the core of Indian civilization in South America, possessing natural leadership.

from this angle

The conquest of Peru has the greatest deterrent effect on South American countries and the best effect, and can best achieve the strategic goals planned by the empire.

Peru is the first country to mine and sell guano in large quantities. It is a wealthy country in South America, as rich as European countries, and it is the military's favorite delicious target.

In the war of colonial conquest, the enthusiasm of the imperial officers and soldiers did not need to be instigated, and the boys from top to bottom kept wailing.

The most fatal shortcoming of choosing Peru as the target of conquest is that it is not directly bordered by the empire, surrounded by South American countries, and is a de facto enclave.

Predictably
In the process of conquering Peru, surrounding countries such as Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela will surely suffer strong shocks, and a large number of volunteers will flood into Peru, causing a lot of trouble for the conquest of the imperial army.

The same reason can also be placed on the country of Venezuela.

Due to its geographical factors, the Tang Empire could only go on expeditions across the sea, but could not invade on a large scale by land, and all combat materials could only be imported by sea, which greatly increased the cost of colonization.

Even after the conquest, long-term colonization still requires the transportation of materials by sea, and land transportation in the surrounding areas is basically impossible.

This is not to say that South American countries do not cooperate, but to cross the towering Andes mountains and large virgin forest valleys, across countless rivers, there is no road at all.

The disadvantage of Venezuela is that it has the largest population, with a total of 450 million to 480 million people. The national economy is relatively poor, and its development is seriously lagging behind. It is a tasteless place where the cost of colonization is higher than the income.

It is not difficult to obtain, but the colonial benefits are not high.

Consider geographical factors;

Peru and Venezuela should be ruled out first, and Colombia and Chile, which border the empire, and Bolivia, which borders Paraguay, should be the first to consider the three targets.

After Chile is excluded, from a geographical point of view, the empire can only aggressively invade Bolivia through Paraguay, which is like scratching the surface, and colonization after the increase is also a big problem.

The imperial subjects and supplies must pass through Paraguay when traveling to and from the new colonies of South America, which will inevitably cause a series of conflicts and troubles, which is not an ideal goal.

From the geographical point of view, Colombia is adjacent to the province of Panama, and there are convenient roads for thousands of years to reach the provinces of Colombia. The Royal Army alone can complete the colonial expansion war.

Extending Panama's railway to Colombia will greatly reduce the cost of colonization, benefit the empire's long-term colonial rule, and establish it as the second bridgehead in South America.

Besides
Colombia has a vast territory, and the tropical alpine rainforest climate in the territory is extremely conducive to the development of tropical cash crops such as coffee, sugar, cocoa, tea, and natural rubber. It is suitable for the development of small and medium-scale plantation economies, which is very attractive to imperial immigrants.

one more important point

The proportion of Indians in Colombia is relatively high. For well-known reasons, countries such as Britain and the United States have massacred Indians in modern history, and the Spaniards and Portuguese have had blood on their hands.

On the moral high ground, these veteran European colonists lack confidence in speaking, which is more conducive to the empire's letting go of colonial rule.

After more than ten or twenty years, it will be a matter of course for this newly opened colonial area to be included in the empire's mainland territory.

Colombia has a large population, which is very helpful to alleviate the problem of the population conflict between men and women in the empire. Some major railway, bridge, and reservoir engineering projects under planning can also be launched one after another when there is sufficient labor.

In summary

After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of South American countries, Wei Chen thought that Colombia was the most suitable target for conquest.

A little knowledgeable and generous, please ask the Holy Order! "

After finishing, Liu Xianjun bowed deeply to the end.

Emperor Li Cha listened intently, his eyes flashed with thought, and after Liu Xianjun finished his words and bowed deeply, it took more than 10 seconds to react, and he beckoned him to sit down and drink tea.

Liu Xianjun didn't feel slighted at all, on the contrary, he was overjoyed. His Majesty's reaction showed that he listened to the advice, which is a great thing!
These South American countries are disobedient and stubborn donkeys. They have always been obedient to the empire and vigorously developed their relations with Europe.

Pulling out a heavyweight and slaughtering it on the spot will also let them sober up and know how many catties they have?
The South American War that ended a few years ago knocked down Brazil and Argentina, completely tamed the two little brothers of Paraguay and Uruguay, and also deterred Chile.

nowadays

The whole of North America, Central America and South America, and only these few South American anti-bone boy countries are not listening, it is time to free up their hands and punish them.

After Liu Xianjun finished speaking, Gu Yan also expressed his opinion. His choice was also Columbia, but the reason was nothing new.

Maybe he is old and slow to respond to the American situation and the international situation, and it is really time to retire.

chatted for a while

Emperor Li Cha waved someone to remove the small tea table, and sent the two veterans to rest.

In the large study room with bright lights hanging high, Emperor Li Cha stood alone at the window looking at the lake and mountains that were about to be shrouded in twilight, his deep eyes were sharp and firm.

He is now sober in the world, no longer sticking to the original historical development track, no longer sticking to the policy of keeping a low profile and bide his time, showing his sharpness like a sword out of its sheath.

Since the British and French powers are so unscrupulous in enclosing land, wouldn't the Tang Empire not colonize it?Won't squeeze?Don't you know how to make up for the loss outside the dike and within the dike?

Launching a large-scale colonial war will strongly stimulate demand, consume the excess industrial capacity of the empire, and help the empire survive this period of world economic crisis that is like falling from a high altitude.

There are many benefits, which are enough for the empire to let go.

Now the second South American war that the Tang Empire is about to launch will be a rule-based war, so that all American countries must understand a truth;
Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

Letting go of the original burden of thought, it is a vast world in front of Emperor Li Cha.

What should we do with the constant friction and disputes among the Confederate States of America?
The big deal is to find an excuse to destroy it. With the Tang Empire's current population of more than 8000 million, digesting the Confederate States of America with a population of 1500 million is no longer an elusive goal.

It's time to show the toughness of the empire, lest the countries under its wings feel that they have failed again.

When the dog leash is tightened, don't show any kindness and kindness to neighbors. Only a tame dog is a good dog.

There is also the United States of America, which directly and tyrannically intervenes in its powerful institutions such as policy formulation and police justice. There are so many retired officers and soldiers stationed in the US army every year, and they should be arranged for a position with a stable salary.

Government departments, police, taxation, and judiciary are all good. Those British upper-class people thought they could firmly control the political situation of the United States of America. It's time to break their illusions.

Let these Brits know, who is the real talker in North America?
With the export of these tough policies, the development plan of the [-]-ton ironclad warship of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire can be implemented, and there is no need to look at anyone.

The British and French powers carve up the sphere of influence without bringing the Tang Empire, so the Tang Empire doesn't have to think about their feelings, who do they love?
