Wild North America 1846

Chapter 645
It was already January 1878, 7 when Datang received the latest news that Zuo Zongtang had recovered Xinjiang. Emperor Li Cha of the Tang Dynasty burst out laughing excitedly, saying three "good" words in succession, and his praise was beyond words.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the Zuo Gong of the country of public loyalty. He did not hesitate to start a war against Tsarist Russia, and successfully achieved a brilliant achievement that had never been achieved in history (note, regaining 44 square kilometers of land in the northwest).

A small push, and sure enough, there was another deviation in history.

This gave Emperor Li Cha a great sense of accomplishment, and all the joy was on his face, filling the court with an atmosphere of joy.

In order to help the Hunan Army grow stronger, Datang racked its brains in this regard. The 16-boat heavy machine gun that was secretly assigned was not a Colt rotary heavy machine gun, but an American-made Maxim heavy machine gun.

The artillery is a German-made 12-pound field gun, and it is not the standard artillery of the Tang Empire. The supporting rifle is an English-made Mini rifle.

Happy, that is really happy.

It is rare for me to rise up in the Qing Dynasty. Zuo Zongtang’s contribution lies in regaining the territory of the Qing Dynasty by force, which avoided being blackmailed by Tsarist Russia at the negotiating table. The waists of the Qing court negotiators are really not straight!

Without this, the 44 square kilometers of land in the outer northwest would be completely useless, and it would definitely be ceded by Tsarist Russia as in the original history.

OK, great.

Emperor Li Cha was in a very good mood that day, and he found inspiration from it, so that he could give a little boost when he regained Outer Mongolia in the future, so as to avoid the division of the country's territory.

The foundation of the Tang Empire is still in North America. Today, among the empire's hundreds of millions of people, North America accounts for [-]%, Central America accounts for a little more than [-]%, and South America and overseas provinces (note; including Paradise Province, Beihai Province, Yunzhong Province, Hawaii Province) accounts for about [-]% of the weak points.

In line with the basic policy of "strong stems and weak branches", the empire's important industries, technology, and agricultural and animal husbandry production are all developed in North America.

But it was not without hidden worries. Behind the heyday of the Great Tang Empire's military power, there were still many discordant noises coming out.

Just after a few days of full food, some rotten scholars jumped out and talked about "world harmony", "tyranny as fierce as a tiger", "governing the country with benevolence and virtue", etc., opposing the oppression of people of different races, opposing the brutal assimilation policy of the empire, and advocating the West The civilized gentleman colonizes.

Needless to say, these remarks have won the support of some mindless people, and there is still a considerable market in the empire.

Recalling that the last major purge in the cultural world was more than 10 years ago, and now the good life is going smoothly, and some residues have appeared again, and they have taken turns to act as demons.

Emperor Richard has ordered the Imperial Propaganda Department and the Ministry of the Interior to cooperate closely, with the participation of the Imperial Security Bureau and the Police Headquarters to start a thorough investigation of these literati and poets, and prepare to take the next step to clean up the Internet.

Entering 1878, the situation of the Russo-Turkish war has become completely clear.

The Tang Empire successively sent three batches of reinforcements, totaling 11.2 troops, arriving in Greece and Istanbul one after another. The fourth batch of 4 troops added later was on standby in Chicago and New York Harbor, ready to sail across the sea at any time.

The United Kingdom also sent a powerful Royal Expeditionary Fleet to Greece and entered the Marmara Sea to patrol the Sea of ​​Marmara to jointly deter the Tsarist Russian army.

This series of unscrupulous actions forced Tsarist Russia to abandon its combat plan to march on Constantinople, stop large-scale military operations, and send negotiating envoys to negotiate the conditions for ending the war.

The British Army, whose eyes were almost blinded by the Ottoman Empire, still did not send a single soldier.

Tsarist Russia concocted the "Treaty of San Stefano", which was formulated in advance by Russian Foreign Minister Alexander Mikhailovich Gorchakov and Tsar Alexander II. For the disastrous Ottoman Empire It is completely an alliance under the city, there is no room for maneuver.

Just like the Tang Empire's toughness after the victory, the "San Stefano Treaty" does not allow a single word to be modified. The only options for the Ottoman Empire are to accept and continue the war until it is finally destroyed.

The treaty states:
The Ottoman Empire recognized the complete independence of the three countries of Montenegro, Serbia and Romania.

Recognizes that Bosnia and Herzegovina has gained self-government status, but remains within the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and recognizes that Tsarist Russia has special interests in the region.

Establishing the Great Bulgarian State and allowing the presence of Tsarist Russian forces in Bulgaria is a bond that maintains the traditional friendly interests of the two countries and will strengthen the position of the Orthodox Church in the country.

The Ottoman Empire returned the southwestern part of Sarabia to Russia, and ceded Kars, Batumi, Ardahan, and Bayazit to Russia.

Amend the Bosphorus passage rules, allowing warships from Tsarist Russia and other countries along the Black Sea to pass freely, etc...

As soon as the "San Stefano Peace Treaty" was brought out, it aroused strong dissatisfaction from Britain, Tang, Austria and other countries, and they began to jointly exert heavy pressure on Tsarist Russia, asking him to spit out the fruits of victory that he had swallowed.

Now we are in an anxious period. Whether the fourth batch of 4 expeditionary troops will land in Europe as scheduled depends on the next step of the British diplomatic operations.

Now the Expeditionary Army of the Tang Empire enjoys a lot of food and drink in Greece and Istanbul. They are leisurely basking in the sun with a European Caucasian woman in their arms by the sea. It’s really not too comfortable!
It was less like a war and more like a vacation to Europe, subsidized by the British at that.

In order to persuade the Tang Empire to send more expeditionary troops, the British treasury specially allocated 320 million pounds to subsidize the expenses of the expeditionary troops, and the money has already arrived.

Although it can't cover all costs, it is already very good.

After all, whether the Expeditionary Force of the Tang Empire was in Greece or Istanbul, they were all received with high standards.

The Ottoman Empire mobilized tens of thousands of white young women to comfort the army. Every few days, a frozen meat ship from South America arrived, delivering nutritious military supplies.

The Tang Empire gave each soldier a certain amount of toffee, chocolate, and cigarettes on a regular basis every month. These are high-priced goods that are sought after on the black market in Istanbul, and a cigarette can be exchanged for a white Armenian woman.

Emperor Li Cha's focus is no longer on Europe, so you can rest assured that there are British people over there.

Don't brag or criticize, the British are still quite reliable in terms of conspiracy and tricks, and the British and Tang Dynasties have already agreed;

In addition to letting Tsarist Russia spit out most of its benefits in the Balkan Wars, it is also necessary to pressure Tsarist Russia to admit its defeat in Xinjiang and prohibit it from ever again getting involved in the northwestern border of the Qing Dynasty.

This was originally a matter of going with the flow, so we simply put it together.

Britain and Russia frequently acted in the northwestern part of the Qing Dynasty, and the relationship was more of a competition. The British were always in the stage of a small-scale expedition team, and they had no intention of sending an invading army into the hinterland of the mainland for the time being.

under these circumstances
The British are naturally unwilling to see Tsarist Russia swallowing up Central Asia and Xinjiang, and its power further expands. What good will this do for Britain?
Britain and Tang hit it off immediately, while frequently mobilizing troops to show their strength, while posing a posture of breaking up, vowing to force Tsarist Russia to bow its head, otherwise it would not hesitate to fight.

in the original history

Tsar Alexander II was indeed blackmailed by the British. Now that he has joined the Tang Empire, he is even more powerful, and the British will have more confidence in their operations.

The focus of Emperor Richard's attention is not in the country, nor in Europe, but the Central American war that will be launched after the Chinese New Year, that is, the Tangxi War.

Now that the two princes are in the Central Plains Province and Paradise Province respectively, the army has gathered, all the combat materials are ready, and the fleet arrives near the battle zone, waiting for an order to start a full-scale war.

The inclusion of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Luzon Islands is part of the empire's long-term expansion and colonization plan, and it is also the final chapter. It is the perfect start to the expansion of the Tang Empire throughout the Americas.

In the future, there will be no special circumstances. The Tang Empire will set its sights on colonial expansion outside the Americas, so as to improve the layout of the empire's colonial points, instead of just focusing on the Americas.

Wool can't catch one and squeeze it hard, it's too ugly to eat like that.

The Summit of the Americas, which was originally planned to be held in the middle of 1876, was postponed for two years to September 1878 due to various reasons and policy coordination issues.

Regarding the issue of Canada's statehood, it is also one of the issues at the Summit of the Americas.

The Tang Empire insists that Canada belongs to the British Dominion and does not have the status of an independent country. Its prime minister can attend the Summit of the Americas, but cannot participate in substantive meetings and discussions.

Canada is strongly opposed to this, and the United Kingdom is also highly concerned about this, believing that Canada's sovereign status as an independent country should be respected.

In fact, everyone knows that Canada is a spoiler.

The British do not want to see the success of the summit of the Americas and the formation of a close alliance between countries, which will greatly enhance the power of the Datang Empire and crowd out the influence of European countries.

However, it is not easy for the British to personally end the opposition, so sending the younger brother Canada to disrupt the situation is the best way.

The British had three preparations, one was to send Canada to disrupt the situation, and the other was to try their best to win over the Confederate States of America and urge them to oppose the proposal to establish a permanent Organization of American Cooperation.

This is because the Confederate States of America, as one of the victorious countries in the North American War, are sovereign and independent North American countries with considerable influence. United Canada is a 2:2 tie in North America.

It will definitely have a negative impact on the Organization of American Cooperation that the Datang Empire is vigorously promoting, and the key point is that Datang has nothing to do.

The third hand is to woo and lobby the Brazilian Empire, Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela to secretly encourage them to oppose the establishment of the Organization of American Cooperation and cheer them up.

It was precisely because of these overt and covert obstacles that the first Panama Summit of the Organization of American Cooperation, which was originally planned to be held in June 1876, was completely disrupted.

The Great Tang Empire must once again show its thunder skills. The Tangxi War is a good opportunity to show its muscles. Not only must it be fought beautifully, but it must also be won completely and neatly, so that those South American countries that are wandering around can see What's the end of the cooperation?
If you don't want to be beaten, just be obedient.

The Tang Empire's status as the leader of the Americas is bound to be won. This is the basis for establishing the Tang Yuan trade circle, and it is also the back garden of the Tang Empire. Of course, no one else is allowed to get involved.

On many international issues, the relationship between Britain and Tang is both cooperative and competitive. It cannot be described as good or bad, but more like noisy and happy enemies.
