Wild North America 1846

Chapter 701 Take a Bite of Fat Meat
The situation in the United States of America took a turn for the worse, which aroused the great attention of Emperor Richard, who personally decreed that in the autumn of [-], veterans' discharge from the army should be postponed indefinitely, and recruits would be recruited into the camp for training one month in advance.

Through this move, the Empire can mobilize more than 18 field troops when needed, plus the 6.37 people stationed in the US General Command, and can gather a mobile force of more than 24 people to deal with any possible bad situation.

This part of the force may not be used, but it must be prepared.

The royal train secretly arrived in Chicago, a metropolis along the Great Lakes, on September 9, and was stationed in the Palace by the Huahu Lake.Marshal Mai Xiaozu, the chief of staff of the Royal Army, led a group of senior generals to greet him and held a brief welcome ceremony.

The news was blocked throughout the entire process, so the heroic city of Chicago did not have a grand occasion where millions of people took to the streets to welcome His Majesty the Emperor.

Inside the Lakeside Palace

Emperor Richard was listening to a report on the latest situation in the United States of America in the resplendent domed hall, and his mood was solemn.

The aggressive expansion of the National Guard has been seen in every state in the United States, along with the police force, and the different attitudes of states and counties to the federal government have caused considerable confusion.

Take Pittsburgh, the nearest heavy industrial city;

The local workers' union spontaneously organized more than a dozen civilian armed forces, ranging from dozens to thousands of people, who occupied different factories and neighborhoods as their sites.There are also Italian or Irish gangs blatantly armed to grab territory, and city fires broke out from time to time.

The police force of the local municipal government and the state National Guard who came in for emergency reinforcements are also helpless in the face of the extreme turmoil and chaos in the city.

After the Tang Empire withdrew its troops, it only kept a warehouse-like military base in Pittsburgh with more than 1320 troops stationed there.

Now everyone is waiting to see which state fires the first shot at secession.

What followed was bound to be a domino effect, entering a stage of chaos and continued reorganization. In the event of a loss of control, the Datang Empire would unite with other American countries to intervene armedly in the name of the "American Alliance" to help the local area restore order.

"...

A French expeditionary force of more than 5600 people is approaching Pittsburgh. This French army is a mule-based force, with a Burgundy light cavalry regiment of more than a thousand people, and an artillery regiment equipped with 32 12-pound field artillery. Strong attack ability.

within this month
Two more French reinforcement fleets will arrive one after another, sending another 1.66 French expeditionary forces to the North American continent. This will bring the total number of French troops stationed in the United States of America to more than 5.3, making it the second largest military force after the Empire's North American troops .

At present, the French army has taken active actions, and successively launched operations to suppress local rioters in Brooklyn, New York, New Jersey, Cleveland, Ohio, and Boston.

the message just received;
At 9:17 am on September 8, the Massachusetts State Assembly passed a formal resolution;

Declare the military action of the French Expeditionary Force illegal, and the people and the National Guard have the right to take up arms to defend their rights and property safety.

When the news came out, the local armed forces in Boston received a positive response. Intermittent fierce fighting took place in more than 20 blocks. It is expected that the French army entering the city suffered a lot of losses.

The specific situation has yet to be confirmed by further information.

The uninvited military actions of the French army have angered many states in the United States that are increasingly prone to separatism. In the near future, we will see a chain reaction similar to the resolution of the Massachusetts State Assembly.

Today's United States is a boiling pot of oil, and the actions of the French army are like a spoonful of cold water, which makes the situation more chaotic and explosive, and further slides into the abyss of loss of control.

The Empire State Headquarters in North America is mainly deployed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio. The army has entered the pre-war alert state and is ready to attack at any time.

The current situation..."

Emperor Li Cha was sitting on the upper throne, tapping the back of the chair lightly with his slender fingers, with a calm expression on his face, listening to the relevant report from the military.

Today's North American situation has completely gone astray, but there is no precedent to follow.

The easternmost territory of the Tang Empire is Indiana Province, which is one of the nine provinces ceded from the north of the United States after the Second North American War, and it is also a province with a small population in the empire.

The province of Indiana is a state on the eastern border of the empire. It borders Lake Michigan in the northwest, Michigan in the north, Ohio in the east, Illinois in the west, and the Kingdom of Kentucky across the Ohio River in the south.

The province is 257 kilometers wide from east to west and 451 kilometers long from north to south.

Fort East, the capital of Indiana (note, formerly known as Indianapolis), has a population of 6.37, and the Northern Military Region Frontier Command is stationed here.

In the south and north of the city, there are 103 imperial ace field divisions and 109 first-class divisions, with a total strength of 3.22 people. They are the military hammer to maintain the stability of the northern situation.

According to the will of His Majesty the Emperor;

In the near future, three field divisions of the Northern Military Region will be transported to the state by train one after another, and temporarily deployed in the Ohio border area.

this move
It will bring the mobile force deployed in Indiana to a scale of 6.7, further strengthening the capability of military intervention in the United States.

The other part, about 18 troops, will be deployed in Michigan and the Kingdom of Kentucky respectively. It is expected that they will be deployed one after another at the end of October and begin to perform combat readiness tasks.

The atmosphere in the hall was dignified. Dozens of senior generals with generals on their shoulders were lined up on the left and right. The Imperial Deputy Prime Minister Earl Yao Guangyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs Lord Liu Daqing and other ministers were all listening to the summary report of the military situation. .

At this time, Emperor Li Cha was thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from the divided America.

The so-called; if you don't take it from God, you will be blamed instead.If the time doesn't work, you will suffer from it.

The opportunity is so good now, the states of the United States are in a state of disunity, and the voice of the federal government cannot be heard in Washington.

The French are struggling to put out the fire everywhere, but they are fighting everywhere. It has spread to all states and counties in the United States and is difficult to control. The situation is slipping to the brink of collapse.

Even with great abilities, it is even more difficult to reverse the situation.

The only one with such ability is the Great Tang Empire, but the Great Tang Empire will never do it. Instead, it will pour a little oil on the chaotic situation and push it forward.

After the crisis in the United States, a large number of people have migrated to the Tang Empire, forming a wave of refugees.

In order to develop the vast ice-covered plains of Indiana, the Empire is diverting immigrants from the border into the province for centralized resettlement, which is expected to usher in a population explosion.

The question before Emperor Li Cha is;

The strength of Chinese immigrants in the empire in the eastern seaboard states is relatively strong, but it is slightly weak in neighboring Ohio and Pennsylvania. This is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.
